Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application pertains to liquid crystal display screen processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a liquid crystal module tray. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) achieve image display by using electric current to stimulate the alignment of liquid crystal molecules, thereby controlling the transmission and blocking of light. They have the advantages of low power consumption, small size, and low radiation, and are widely used in televisions, computer monitors, mobile phones, and other portable devices.

[0003] The liquid crystal module (LCM) is one of the important components of a liquid crystal display. During the manufacturing process of liquid crystal modules, trays are often used for transportation or storage to protect them.

[0004] However, due to the small thickness of the LCD module, it fits completely against the inner bottom wall of the tray cavity after being placed inside. This makes it difficult for workers to apply force to the edges of the LCD module, making it difficult to remove the LCD module from the tray. Furthermore, the tray has poor restraint on the LCD module, which is prone to shaking and friction with the tray during transportation. It is also easy for defects such as cracking and breakage to occur when the edges of the LCD module come into hard contact with the inner wall of the tray. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a liquid crystal module tray to solve the problems of poor stability and difficulty in placing and removing liquid crystal modules in the tray in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a liquid crystal module tray, including a tray body and an anti-slip pad; the tray body includes a base and a plurality of sidewall portions surrounding the base, the base and the plurality of sidewall portions together forming a placement cavity; the anti-slip pad is installed in the placement cavity, the anti-slip pad includes a support portion and a plurality of blocking portions, the support portion is attached to the base, the support portion is used to support the liquid crystal module and increase the friction between the support portion and the liquid crystal module, and the support portion is provided with at least one clearance groove, the plurality of blocking portions are surrounding the periphery of the support portion, and the blocking portions are attached to the corresponding sidewall portions, used to prevent the edge of the liquid crystal module from making hard contact with the sidewall portion.

[0007] In some embodiments, the number of clearance slots is the same as the number of sidewall portions and they are provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0008] In some embodiments, the side of the support portion facing away from the base portion is provided with an anti-slip structure.

[0009] In some embodiments, the anti-slip structure includes a plurality of anti-slip particles evenly distributed on the surface of the bearing portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support portion is integrally formed with the plurality of blocking portions, and the support portion and the blocking portions are flexibly connected.

[0011] In some embodiments, the ends of two adjacent blocking portions are stacked.

[0012] In some embodiments, the sidewall portion includes an inner sidewall, a top wall, and an outer sidewall. The bottom end of the inner sidewall is connected to the support portion, the top wall is connected to the top end of the inner sidewall and extends away from the placement cavity, and the top end of the outer sidewall is connected to the end of the top wall away from the inner sidewall. A positioning cavity is formed between the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall, and the positioning cavity allows the sidewall portion of the other liquid crystal module tray to be inserted.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least one positioning protrusion is provided on the inner sidewall and / or outer sidewall, protruding toward the positioning cavity, and a positioning groove is formed on the side opposite to the positioning cavity for the positioning protrusion to be inserted.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] This application provides a liquid crystal module tray, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the LCD module tray includes a tray body 100 and an anti-slip pad 200. The tray body 100 includes a base 110 and multiple sidewall portions 120 surrounding the base 110. The base 110 and the multiple sidewall portions 120 together form a placement cavity 101. The anti-slip pad 200 is installed in the placement cavity 101. The anti-slip pad 200 includes a support portion 210 and multiple blocking portions 220. The support portion 210 is attached to the base 110 and is used to support the LCD module and increase the anti-friction force of the LCD module in the placement cavity 101. The support portion 210 is provided with at least one relief groove 212. The multiple blocking portions 220 are surrounding the periphery of the support portion 210 and are attached to the corresponding sidewall portions 120 to prevent the LCD module from making hard contact with the sidewall portions 120.

[0032] Specifically, the tray body 100 can be made of metal or non-metal materials, such as rigid plastic, making the tray body 100 lightweight and structurally strong. The base 110 is a flat plate structure with a certain area. The base 110 can be horizontally arranged, and its shape can be arbitrary. The sidewalls 120 can be vertically arranged at the edges of the base 110. The number of sidewalls 120 is the same as the number of peripheral edges of the base 110 and they are arranged one-to-one. For example, the base 110 is rectangular, and there are four sidewalls 120. The four sidewalls 120 are respectively connected to the four peripheral edges of the base 110, and adjacent sidewalls 120 are connected to each other to form a rectangular placement cavity 101 between the base 110 and the four sidewalls 120. The top of the placement cavity 101 is open, allowing the liquid crystal module to be placed or removed from the placement cavity 101 through the opening.

[0033] The anti-slip pad 200 is made of rubber, silicone or other materials with a high coefficient of friction. After the LCD module is placed in the placement cavity 101, the LCD module comes into contact with the anti-slip pad 200 to increase the friction of the LCD module in the placement cavity 101 and improve the stability of the LCD module in the tray.

[0034] The shape of the support portion 210 of the anti-slip pad 200 can be the same as the shape of the base 110. For example, when the base 110 is rectangular, the anti-slip pad 200 is a rectangular structure with the same dimensions as the base 110. In some embodiments, an anti-slip structure is provided on the side of the support portion 210 facing away from the base 110 to further enhance the anti-slip effect on the liquid crystal module. The anti-slip structure may include multiple anti-slip particles 211 evenly distributed on the support portion 210. The anti-slip particles 211 are integrally formed on the support portion 210 and protrude from the upper surface of the support portion 210. The shape of the anti-slip particles 211 can be columnar or hemispherical. After the liquid crystal module is placed in the placement cavity 101, the lower surface of the liquid crystal module contacts the multiple anti-slip particles 211, reducing the contact area between the support portion 210 and the liquid crystal module and increasing the friction between each anti-slip particle 211 and the liquid crystal module. In addition, the anti-slip structure can also be an anti-slip protrusion or anti-slip texture provided on the support portion 210.

[0035] The clearance groove 212 is a cavity structure that passes through the support portion 210. The size and shape of the clearance groove 212 can be arbitrary; for example, the clearance groove 212 can be rectangular. After the LCD module is placed on the support portion 210, part of the LCD module overlaps with the clearance groove 212, and the part of the LCD module in the clearance groove 212 is suspended. Workers can reach into the clearance groove 212 to contact the side of the LCD module, thereby improving the convenience of picking up and placing the LCD module.

[0036] In some embodiments, the number of clearance slots 212 is the same as the number of sidewall portions 120 and they are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, when there are four sidewall portions 120, the support portion 210 is provided with four clearance slots 212, and the four clearance slots 212 correspond to the four sidewall portions 120 respectively, so that there are hollow areas around the liquid crystal module for the operator's hand to reach in, further improving the convenience of picking up and placing the liquid crystal module.

[0037] Each edge of the support portion 210 is provided with a blocking portion 220. The blocking portion 220 extends upward and fits against the inner surface of the corresponding side wall portion 120. When the clearance groove 212 is opened towards the side wall portion 120, the blocking portion 220 may not be provided at the clearance groove 212 to increase the space for the user to reach into the clearance groove 212. The height of the blocking portion 220 may be greater than the thickness of the liquid crystal module. When the liquid crystal module is placed in the placement cavity 101, it is positioned between multiple blocking portions 220. The multiple blocking portions 220 can protect the edges of the liquid crystal module. When the liquid crystal module shifts on the support portion 210, the edge of the liquid crystal module will contact the blocking portion 220. The elasticity of the blocking portion 220 protects the edge of the liquid crystal module from hard contact with the side wall portion 120, reducing the problem of damage or breakage of the liquid crystal module. The blocking portion 220 and the support portion 210 can be integrally formed or connected to each other by means of bonding, fasteners, etc.

[0038] It should be noted that the anti-slip mat 200 described above can be directly placed inside the placement cavity 101. Given the high coefficient of friction of the anti-slip mat 200, the friction between the bearing portion 210 and the base 110, as well as the limiting forces between each blocking portion 220 and its corresponding sidewall portion 120, ensure the stability of the anti-slip mat 200 within the placement cavity 101, preventing it from easily detaching from the tray body 100. Alternatively, the anti-slip mat 200 can also be fixed to the placement cavity 101 by means of adhesive bonding, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this method.

[0039] In some embodiments, when the blocking portion 220 and the supporting portion 210 are integrally formed, the supporting portion 210 and the blocking portion 220 are flexibly connected.

[0040] The anti-slip mat 200 can be made entirely of rubber material to have a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the blocking part 220 to move relative to the supporting part 210. When the anti-slip mat 200 is located outside the placement cavity 101, the supporting part 210 and the multiple blocking parts 220 can be in a coplanar state, and there is a gap 221 between two adjacent blocking parts 220, so that when the anti-slip mat 200 is placed inside the placement cavity 101, the blocking part 220 can be folded upward to a vertical state and fit against the inner surface of the side wall part 120.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when the anti-slip mat 200 is located outside the placement cavity 101, it is in its natural state. At this time, both the blocking portion 220 and the supporting portion 210 are horizontally positioned, and the overall outer contour dimension of the anti-slip mat 200 is larger than the dimension of the base 110 of the tray body 100. A gap 221 is provided between two adjacent blocking portions 220, allowing the two adjacent blocking portions 220 to fold upwards relative to the supporting portion 210. When the anti-slip mat 200 is placed into the placement cavity 101, the surrounding blocking portions 220 fold upwards, matching the outer contour dimension of the supporting portion 210 with the dimension of the placement cavity 101. This not only facilitates the manufacturing of the anti-slip mat 200 but also facilitates the installation and positioning of the anti-slip mat 200 and the tray body 100, and also facilitates the replacement of the anti-slip mat 200 after significant wear. During the processing of the anti-slip mat 200, two adjacent blocking parts 220 can be connected to each other. After the anti-slip mat 200 is processed as a whole, a gap 221 is cut at the corresponding position. Alternatively, each blocking part 220 can be set independently during the manufacturing of the anti-slip mat 200 to directly form a gap 221.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the ends of two adjacent blocking portions 220 are stacked, which on the one hand allows the ends of the blocking portions 220 to be adapted to the arc angle shape between the two adjacent sidewall portions 120 after being folded upward, and on the other hand increases the thickness of the anti-slip pad 200 at the corner of the placement cavity 101, thereby strengthening the protection of the corner of the liquid crystal module.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall portion 120 includes an inner sidewall 121, a top wall 122, and an outer sidewall 123. The bottom end of the inner sidewall 121 is connected to the support portion 210, the top wall 122 is connected to the top end of the inner sidewall 121, and the top wall 122 extends away from the placement cavity 101. The top end of the outer sidewall 123 is connected to the end of the top wall 122 away from the inner sidewall 121. A positioning cavity 1201 is formed between the inner sidewall 121 and the outer sidewall 123. The positioning cavity 1201 allows the sidewall portion 120 of another liquid crystal module tray to be inserted.

[0044] Specifically, the inner sidewall 121 is vertically arranged on the upper side of the support portion 210, and the bottom end of the inner sidewall 121 is connected to the corresponding peripheral edge of the support portion 210. Multiple inner sidewalls 121 surround the base 110, and adjacent inner sidewalls 121 are connected to each other, forming a placement cavity 101 between the base 110 and the multiple inner sidewalls 121. The blocking portion 220 in the anti-slip mat 200 abuts against the corresponding inner sidewall 121. The top wall 122 can be horizontally arranged above the support portion 210. One side of the top wall 122 is connected to the top end of the inner sidewall 121, and the other end of the top wall 122 extends away from the placement cavity 101. The outer sidewall 123 is also vertically arranged, and the top end of the outer sidewall 123 is connected to the end of the top wall 122 away from the inner sidewall 121.

[0045] The inner sidewall 121 and the outer sidewall 123 are spaced apart by the top wall 122 to form a positioning cavity 1201 between the inner sidewall 121 and the outer sidewall 123. The positioning cavity 1201 has an opening on one side of the bottom of the pallet body 100. When the multiple sidewall portions 120 are integrally formed with the support portion 210, the positioning cavities 1201 on the multiple sidewall portions 120 are interconnected and surround the support portion 210.

[0046] The sidewall portion 120, composed of the inner sidewall 121, top wall 122, and outer sidewall 123, has high structural strength. The top wall 122 can serve as a pressure-bearing part of the tray body 100. When the top wall 122 is under pressure, the pressure is distributed to the inner sidewall 121 and outer sidewall 123, thus making the tray body 100 less prone to deformation under pressure. The positioning cavity 1201 formed between the inner sidewall 121 and outer sidewall 123 allows the upper half of the sidewall portion 120 of another LCD module tray to be embedded. Specifically, the top of the sidewall portion 120 of another LCD module tray can be inserted into the positioning cavity 1201 through the lower opening of the positioning cavity 1201 to realize the stacking of multiple LCD module trays and facilitate the storage of LCD module trays.

[0047] In order to facilitate the insertion of the side wall portion 120 of two adjacent LCD module trays into the positioning cavity 1201, the top of the inner side wall 121 can be tilted away from the placement cavity 101, and the bottom of the outer side wall 123 can be tilted away from the placement cavity 101, so that the outer contour of the side wall portion 120 and the cross-sectional contour of the placement cavity 101 are both trapezoidal structures. This not only facilitates the insertion of the outer side of the side wall portion 120 into the positioning cavity 1201, but also limits the insertion distance.

[0048] In some embodiments, at least one positioning protrusion 1202 protruding toward the positioning cavity 1201 is provided on the inner sidewall 121 and / or the outer sidewall 123, and a positioning groove 1203 for the positioning protrusion 1202 to be inserted is formed on the side opposite to the positioning cavity 1201.

[0049] For example, both the inner sidewall 121 and the outer sidewall 123 are provided with positioning protrusions 1202 and positioning grooves 1203. The positioning protrusions 1202 are vertically arranged and can extend vertically through the sidewall portion 120 to form vertically extending positioning grooves 1203, which can guide the position of the two tray bodies 100 when stacked. The positioning protrusions 1202 can also be formed in the upper part of the sidewall portion 120 to form positioning grooves 1203 with an opening at the top and a positioning surface at the bottom. When connected to each other, the positioning surface can be used to position the bottom of the positioning protrusions 1202, that is, to limit the stacking thickness of the two adjacent tray bodies 100. This ensures that there is a certain space for storing the liquid crystal modules between the base bottoms 110 of the two adjacent liquid crystal module trays, preventing the liquid crystal modules in the upper tray body 100 from contacting each other.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom end of the outer side wall 123 is lower than the base 110. When the bottom end of the outer side wall 123 is lower than the base 110, the bottom of the outer side wall 123 serves as the contact point with external objects, which can reduce the contact area between the pallet body 100 and external objects when it is placed, thereby improving the positional stability and structural strength of the pallet body 100 when it is placed.

[0051] The base 110, inner sidewall 121, top wall 122 and outer sidewall 123 can be integrally formed. When the pallet body 100 is made of rigid plastic, the pallet body 100 can be made by vacuum forming or injection molding, so that the pallet body 100 has good overall strength and stability.

[0052] In summary, the LCD module tray provided in this application embodiment has an anti-slip pad 200 with a bearing portion 210 inside the tray body 100 that increases the friction on the LCD module, making it less prone to movement during transportation. Multiple blocking portions of the anti-slip pad 200 prevent the edges of the LCD module from making hard contact with the tray body 100, thus protecting the LCD module. Multiple clearance grooves 212 on the anti-slip pad 200 also improve the ease of handling the LCD module. Furthermore, the tray body 100 has the advantage of a simple and stable structure, further enhancing the stability of the tray during transportation and storage.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
