Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible screen technology, specifically to a metal support for bending screens. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible screens are an advanced screen technology that allows for bending and folding. They primarily utilize OLED materials, which are self-emissive and thin, enabling the screen to bend to a certain extent without damage. In flexible foldable phones, the screen needs to be frequently folded and unfolded, requiring specialized internal support components. These components must possess sufficient flexibility to deform with the screen's bending, while also providing stable support to ensure the screen's flatness in the unfolded state and maintain its shape under the pressure of daily use, thereby improving the phone's durability and user experience.
[0003] Currently, many flexible foldable phones use metal materials, such as magnesium-aluminum alloys, for their support components. This material has high strength and can maintain the screen's flatness to a certain extent, providing stable support. However, it has a significant drawback. Metal support components lack resilience and cannot effectively cushion pressure, directly transferring the pressure to the flexible screen. When subjected to heavy pressure, such as when the phone is accidentally squeezed or dropped, these support components may exert a reaction force on the screen, causing damage such as screen cracks or display abnormalities, affecting the user experience and lifespan of the flexible screen phone. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model proposes a metal support for bending screens that has strong compressive strength, good resilience, and extends the service life of flexible screen mobile phones.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is: a metal support for a curved screen, comprising:
[0006] The flexible wrapping layer is a hinged connection between the left and right halves, and a groove is provided in the middle of its front.
[0007] The metal frame, made of shape memory metal, is embedded in the groove and consists of two independent halves.
[0008] The adhesive pad is a narrow square strip that is bonded to the front of the flexible wrapping layer and spans the groove, and is bonded to the curved flexible screen.
[0009] Furthermore, the metal skeleton is made of nickel-titanium alloy.
[0010] Furthermore, the flexible wrapping layer is connected by a hinge.
[0011] Furthermore, the groove is provided with clamping ribs for clamping the metal skeleton.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the front of the flexible wrapping layer is provided with a limiting square groove, and a limiting square adhesive column is inserted into the limiting square groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the surfaces of the metal skeleton and the flexible wrapping layer are coated with an antioxidant coating.
[0014] Furthermore, the antioxidant coating is an organosilicon resin.
[0015] Furthermore, the flexible wrapping layer is provided with equidistant heat dissipation holes.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: Strong pressure resistance; the metal frame is made of nickel-titanium alloy, ensuring structural stability after installation and working in conjunction with the flexible wrapping layer to resist external forces. Simultaneously, it possesses excellent resilience; the shape memory effect and superelasticity of the metal frame allow it to return to its original shape after deformation under pressure, effectively adapting to screen bending. These characteristics ensure the screen's safety in various complex usage scenarios. Furthermore, the anti-oxidation coating enhances protection, the heat dissipation holes effectively dissipate heat, and the limiting adhesive posts and bonding soft pads ensure positional stability, all of which contribute to extending the lifespan of the flexible screen phone.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 3A metal support for a curved screen includes: a flexible wrapping layer 2, which is hinged to the left and right halves, with a groove in the middle of its front. The flexible wrapping layer 2 is connected by hinges 3. This allows the wrapping layer to move naturally during bending, without generating additional stress on the metal frame 1 and the screen, ensuring the flexibility and smoothness of the entire support when the screen is bent, and extending its service life. The metal frame 1 is made of shape memory metal and is embedded in the groove, with two independent halves. The metal frame 1 is made of nickel-titanium alloy. This shape memory metal has good shape memory effect and super elasticity, and can recover its original shape after being deformed by a certain external force. It can effectively cope with repeated bending of the curved screen during use and can provide a stable support structure for the screen, adapting to different bending states.
[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 4 The soft rubber pad 7, a narrow square strip, is adhered to the front of the flexible wrapping layer 2 and spans the recessed groove, fitting snugly against the curved flexible screen. The hinged design of the left and right halves of the flexible wrapping layer 2 allows the support to better adapt to the bending motion of the curved screen, offering high flexibility. The central recessed groove facilitates the installation and positioning of the metal frame 1, while the soft rubber pad 7 tightly adheres to the curved flexible screen, protecting it, cushioning external pressure, increasing friction with the screen, preventing slippage during use, and ensuring screen stability. Each of the four front corners of the flexible wrapping layer 2 has a limiting square groove, into which a limiting square rubber post 5 is inserted. This design precisely limits the installation position of the support on the screen, preventing unnecessary movement of the support inside devices such as mobile phones, further ensuring the relative stability between the screen and the support, and improving screen safety.
[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4The groove is provided with clamping ribs 4 to clamp the metal frame 1. This securely clamps the metal frame 1, preventing displacement due to vibration or other external forces during use, ensuring its stable position within the groove, and thus guaranteeing the structural stability of the entire support and its support effect on the screen. Both the metal frame 1 and the flexible wrapping layer 2 are coated with an anti-oxidation coating. This anti-oxidation coating is made of silicone resin. This material has excellent anti-oxidation properties, weather resistance, and chemical stability, forming a stable protective film on the surfaces of the metal and flexible wrapping layer 2. It not only resists oxygen corrosion but also resists the effects of environmental factors such as humidity and dust, further enhancing the protective capabilities of the support. The flexible wrapping layer 2 has equidistant heat dissipation holes 6, which help dissipate heat generated by the screen during use, preventing heat accumulation from adversely affecting the performance of the screen and support, such as screen aging and deterioration of support material performance. This ensures that the screen and support operate in a suitable temperature environment, improving overall reliability.
[0026] Working principle: First, the two independent metal frames 1 are respectively embedded into the grooves in the middle of the front of the flexible wrapping layer 2, and the clamping ribs 4 in the grooves are used to clamp the metal frames 1 to ensure their stability. Then, the left and right halves of the flexible wrapping layer 2 are connected by hinges 3. Next, a narrow square strip of adhesive pad 7 is attached to the front of the flexible wrapping layer 2, spanning the grooves. After that, the limiting square adhesive posts 5 are inserted into the limiting square grooves at the four corners of the front of the flexible wrapping layer 2.
[0027] When installing into a curved screen device, the flexible wrapping layer 2, containing a metal frame 1, a bonding soft rubber pad 7, and a limiting square rubber post 5, is placed in the appropriate position. This ensures the bonding soft rubber pad 7 is tightly fitted to the curved flexible screen, and the limiting square rubber post 5 restricts the position of the support components, preventing unnecessary movement. During device use, the shape memory metal properties of the metal frame 1 ensure stable support and adaptability during screen bending. The anti-oxidation coating protects the metal frame 1 and the flexible wrapping layer 2, and the heat dissipation holes 6 promptly dissipate the heat generated during screen operation.

This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
