Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a COF IoT smart screen provided as an embodiment of this utility model includes a smart screen body 100. The back side of the smart screen body 100 is sequentially provided with a debugging interface 200, a general expansion interface 300, a smart screen interface 400, a USB interface 500, an RS458 interface 600, and a screen backlight module 700. It also includes:

[0030] A flexible substrate 800 is mounted on the back side of the smart screen body 100. An FPC antenna 810 is connected to one side of the flexible substrate 800. The flexible substrate 800 and the FPC antenna 810 are connected as a whole in a vertical stacking manner, which can realize the compact design of the smart screen and improve the space utilization. A conductor layer is provided on the flexible substrate 800. The conductor layer is provided with conductive lines that are electrically connected to the debugging interface 200, the general expansion interface 300, the smart screen interface 400, the USB interface 500, the RS458 interface 600 and the screen backlight module 700.

[0031] The wireless SOC chip 900 is mounted on the conductive lines of the flexible substrate 800. This reduces the use of connectors and wires, thereby lowering the risk of malfunctions and contact problems, improving the reliability of the smart screen, reducing signal interference and data transmission errors caused by connection issues, and enabling a compact design for the smart screen. In contrast, traditional smart screens and traditional COF smart screens typically require additional circuit boards and connectors to connect to the wireless SOC chip 900, which only increases the overall size and weight of the smart screen. A heat sink is added to the bottom of the wireless SOC chip 900, which is in contact with the screen backlight module 700. The heat sink reinforces the wireless SOC chip 900 and can directly transfer the heat generated by the wireless SOC chip 900 to the screen backlight module 700, achieving rapid heat dissipation of the wireless SOC chip 900, reducing its operating temperature, improving its performance, enhancing the overall shock resistance and heat dissipation performance of the smart screen, and reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0032] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the heat sink is preferably a heat-dissipating steel sheet. The steel sheet can reinforce the heat generated by the wireless SOC chip 900 and conduct it to the screen backlight module 700. The backlight module has a relatively large heat dissipation area, which can reduce the temperature of the wireless SOC chip 900 to a lower operating temperature. At a lower operating temperature, the wireless SOC chip 900 will have better radio frequency performance, that is, the quasi-frequency drift of the wireless SOC chip 900 can be reduced.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the flexible substrate 800 and the FPC antenna 810 are integrally formed, and the connection between the FPC antenna 810 and the flexible substrate 800 is bent and formed, with black foam adhesive 820 installed at the bent part, realizing a vertically stacked structural design. The black foam adhesive 820 is used to fix the FPC antenna 810 and other components, ensuring the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, the black foam adhesive 820 can also increase the distance between the wireless SOC chip 900 and the FPC antenna 810, preventing interference between the wireless SOC chip 900 and the FPC antenna 810, ensuring that the wireless SOC chip 900 and the FPC antenna 810 can work effectively and efficiently, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall performance of the smart screen.

[0034] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the conductive layer on the flexible substrate 800 can be made using thin-film technology, which has lower transmission loss and better high-frequency characteristics. This enables the flexible substrate 800 to provide better signal transmission performance in radio frequency applications, including lower signal attenuation and higher signal quality. Furthermore, the flexible substrate 800 has lower electromagnetic radiation and sensitivity, which can provide better electromagnetic interference suppression capabilities. Radio frequency circuits usually need to consider signal integrity and anti-interference performance, while the low electromagnetic radiation characteristics of the flexible substrate 800 help reduce signal crosstalk and external interference, providing more reliable radio frequency performance, thereby further improving the overall stability of the smart screen performance.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the debugging interface 200 is used for users to read the smart screen's logs, modify configuration parameters, and update firmware, etc., to ensure the stability and performance of the product. The debugging interface 200 is usually directly connected to the wireless SOC chip 900 or the processor for efficient data transmission and control.

[0036] The general expansion interface 300 is used to connect the smart screen to external devices, enhancing the smart screen's external connectivity. The general expansion interface 300 may be connected to multiple external device interfaces to form an expansion network to meet different connection needs.

[0037] The smart screen interface 400 is used for the smart screen to communicate with other smart devices or systems, supports multiple communication protocols and standards, and ensures that the smart screen can be seamlessly integrated into the smart home ecosystem. The smart screen interface 400 may be connected to a wireless communication module (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) to enable wireless communication with other smart devices.

[0038] The USB interface 500 is used to connect storage devices such as USB flash drives or external hard drives, making it convenient for users to transfer data. It also supports connecting other USB devices, such as keyboards and mice, to enhance the user's interactive experience.

[0039] The RS458 interface 600 is used to connect remote control devices or sensors to achieve reliable data transmission.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
