Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic display technology, specifically relating to an integrated digital tube display. Background Technology
[0002] Current digital tube displays encapsulate light-emitting diodes (LEDs) inside the device. A driving circuit illuminates the LEDs to display numbers and symbols. Internally, it consists of seven LEDs forming an "8" shape and one LED serving as the decimal point. Digital tubes connect to circuits via pins or can be integrated onto a PCB or other components before being mounted on equipment. They typically have one or more digits.
[0003] The existing digital tubes are connected to the circuit via pins and other components, which requires other components to support their installation, making it quite troublesome. In addition, when selecting existing digital tubes, multiple digital tubes are often connected as one unit, and the spacing between the digits cannot be flexibly controlled, making it inconvenient to control multiple digits individually, and also inconvenient to repair and replace.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an integrated digital tube display, comprising a digital tube, a mounting body, and a PCB board arranged sequentially. The mounting body includes a base and a connecting sleeve, wherein the bottom of the digital tube is fitted into one side of the base, and an extension tube is provided on the other side of the base. The PCB board is inserted into the extension tube and electrically connected to the digital tube. The extension tube is provided with a connecting thread on its exterior, and the connecting sleeve is connected to the extension tube through the connecting thread.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the length and width of the digital tube are both smaller than the length and width of the base, the diameter of the extension tube is smaller than the width of the base, and the width of the PCB board is smaller than the internal width of the extension tube.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the PCB board is arranged perpendicular to the direction of the digital tube, and the PCB board is provided with multiple wiring terminals corresponding to the digital tube.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base has external dimensions of 18mm × 24mm, and a positioning post is provided at one bottom end of the base to confirm the installation direction of the base.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the diameter of the extension tube and the external connecting thread is less than or equal to 16.1 mm.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer diameter of the connecting sleeve is greater than or equal to the width of the base, and the outer surface of the connecting sleeve is provided with a plurality of anti-slip grooves perpendicular to the direction of the connecting thread, and the plurality of anti-slip grooves are equidistantly arranged on the outer surface of the connecting sleeve.
[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0012] This digital tube display integrates the individual digital tubes with the mounting body and PCB into one unit, enabling independent installation of a single digital tube without the need for additional components. When multiple digital tubes are required, multiple of these products can be placed on the device, with flexible and unrestricted layout. Furthermore, when a single digital tube needs to be replaced, it can be simply removed and replaced without having to remove and replace multiple tubes. Attached Figure Description
