Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of digital photo frame technology, specifically a digital photo frame with an easily replaceable decorative frame. Background Technology

[0002] Digital photo frames, as common devices for displaying photos and videos, have always received much attention for their structural design's rationality and convenience. Early digital photo frames typically consisted of an LCD display panel, the frame body, a back cover (bottom cover), and a support frame behind the back cover. The components were often assembled using snap-fit, welding, or gluing methods, making disassembly and assembly quite difficult. Generally speaking, without certain hands-on skills and repair techniques, and without specific tools, it is difficult for personnel to disassemble and reassemble its parts.

[0003] With the development of technology, some photo frames with detachable outer frames have appeared on the market. Among them, a digital photo frame disclosed in application number "CN202021355138.0" is easy to install and remove. It achieves relatively easy installation and removal of the back cover by setting a meandering groove and elastic fastener in a specific position. However, the meandering groove and fastener are exposed, and the groove and protruding fastener parts on the photo frame are obviously visible. They are not integrated and coordinated with the overall photo frame, affecting the aesthetics of the digital photo frame. At the same time, the addition of elastic fasteners (steel sheets) will also increase production costs. It also increases the process and flow of assembling elastic fasteners (steel sheets), further increasing costs. Moreover, the increased process and flow will also increase the product defect rate. In addition, it can only remove and install the back cover, but cannot remove and replace the front frame of the digital photo frame, which cannot meet consumers' needs for personalized frame replacement.

[0004] Further research revealed that a digital photo frame with an interchangeable cover, disclosed in "US2009 / 0165351A1", features a raised groove on the outer frame to enable quick removal and installation of the cover. However, it still has many shortcomings, such as poor appearance coordination, high production costs, limited functionality, and inconvenient maintenance. It cannot fully meet consumers' needs for convenience, aesthetics, and personalization in digital photo frames. Therefore, there is still considerable room for improvement in the installation structure of the decorative cover of existing digital photo frames. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a digital photo frame with an easily replaceable decorative frame, including a base shell 100, an internal liquid crystal display panel 110 installed inside the base shell 100, a TP touch panel 111 installed on the surface of the liquid crystal display panel 110, an external face shell 120 installed on the base shell 100 outside the TP touch panel 111, and a detachable decorative frame 300 that covers the edges of the base shell 100 and the face shell 120 is installed on the outer side of the base shell 100 through a fastening mechanism 200. The fastening mechanism 200 includes multiple buckles 210 fixedly connected to the inner side of the decorative frame 300, the buckles 210 engaging with grooves 220 provided on the outer side of the base shell 100, and multiple stops 310 fixedly connected to the inner bottom side of the decorative frame 300, the stops 310 and the buckles 210 being staggered.

[0028] When the decorative frame 300 is installed with the base shell 100, the inner side of the decorative frame 300 fits tightly with the outer side of the base shell 100, and the stop 310 is pressed into the recessed groove 121 formed when the face shell 120 and the base shell 100 are assembled.

[0029] Specifically, the LCD display panel 110 and the TP touch panel 111 can be installed through the bottom shell 100 and the front shell 120. The installed TP touch panel 111 can then provide touch interaction functions for users. The decorative frame 300 can be used to decorate the digital photo frame. The decorative frame 300 is installed on the outside of the bottom shell 100 through the fastening mechanism 200, allowing consumers to flexibly install, remove, and select the decorative frame 300.

[0030] When installing the decorative frame 300, the consumer aligns the decorative frame 300 with the base shell 100, aligns the buckle 210 with the groove 220, and then presses the decorative frame 300 towards the base shell 100. The buckle 210 will then engage in the groove 220, thus connecting and fixing the decorative frame 300 to the base shell 100. After the decorative frame 300 and the base shell 100 are installed in place, the inner side of the decorative frame 300 fits tightly against the outer side of the base shell 100, and the stop 310 is pressed against it. The recessed groove 121 formed when the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 100 are assembled can be further enhanced by the stop 310 to enhance the stability of the connection between the decorative frame 300 and the bottom shell 100, preventing the decorative frame 300 from shaking or shifting during use. At the same time, the stop 310 pressed into the recessed groove 121 can also protect the connection between the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 100, preventing the connection between the two from loosening due to external forces, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the digital photo frame structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, there are at least two buckles 210, and multiple buckles 210 are equidistantly distributed on the inner side of the decorative frame 300.

[0032] Specifically, using multiple equally spaced clips 210 ensures that the decorative frame 300 is connected to the base shell 100, resulting in more even stress distribution on the surface of the base shell 100. Furthermore, when the decorative frame 300 is installed on the base shell 100, the equally spaced clips 210 engage with the grooves 220, ensuring consistent tightness between the decorative frame 300 and the base shell 100 at all locations. This prevents the decorative frame 300 from tilting or loosening due to uneven local stress, thus improving the overall stability and reliability of the digital photo frame. When there are two clips 210, they can be symmetrically distributed left-right or top-bottom on the inner side of the decorative frame 300, allowing for installation of the decorative frame 300 to the base shell 100 as well.

[0033] In this embodiment, the groove 220 is a plurality of discontinuously arranged grooves or annular grooves. When it is a plurality of discontinuously arranged grooves, the number and size of the grooves are adapted to the number and size of the buckles 210. When it is an annular groove, the width and depth of the annular groove are adapted to the width and length of the buckles 210.

[0034] Specifically, when the groove 220 consists of multiple discontinuous grooves, each buckle 210 corresponds to one groove. During installation, the buckle 210 is precisely engaged in the corresponding groove to achieve the positioning connection between the decorative frame 300 and the bottom shell 100.

[0035] When the groove 220 is an annular groove, and the annular groove surrounds the bottom shell 100, the buckle 210 can be snapped into the annular groove more quickly, increasing the speed of installation of the decorative frame 300 and the bottom shell 100.

[0036] In this embodiment, the buckle 210 has a trapezoidal cross-section, and both ends of the buckle 210 are provided with inclined end faces 211.

[0037] Specifically, the cross-section of the buckle 210 is trapezoidal, which allows the buckle 210 to form a wedge-tight effect when it is inserted into the groove 220. When the trapezoidal shape causes the buckle 210 to be inserted into the groove 220, as the decorative frame 300 is further pressed, the inner wall of the groove 220 will exert an inward squeezing force on the buckle 210, thereby making the connection between the buckle 210 and the groove 220 tighter and less prone to loosening.

[0038] The beveled ends 211 at both ends of the buckle 210 serve as guides when installing the decorative frame 300. When the decorative frame 300 is brought close to the base shell 100, the beveled ends 211 can more easily align with the entrance of the groove 220, reducing installation difficulty and improving installation accuracy and convenience.

[0039] In this embodiment, a support frame 130 is detachably mounted on the back of the bottom shell 100.

[0040] Specifically, the support frame 130 is used to support the placement surface, making it convenient for consumers to use the digital photo frame. The support frame 130 can be installed with the bottom shell 100 using detachable connection methods such as buckles and slots, allowing consumers to easily install or remove the support frame 130 according to their actual needs.

[0041] In this embodiment, the inner edges of the decorative frame 300 are all provided with chamfered portions 320.

[0042] Specifically, when installing the decorative frame 300, the chamfered part 320 can serve as a guide, making it easier to align the decorative frame 300 with the edge of the base shell 100, reducing installation difficulty and improving installation efficiency. Moreover, the chamfered part 320 can effectively prevent the inner edge of the decorative frame 300 from scratching or damaging the outer side of the base shell 100, increasing the practicality of the decorative frame 300.

[0043] In daily use, when you want to replace the decorative frame 300, or when the decorative frame 300 is scratched or damaged and needs to be replaced, you don't need any tools. Just apply an outward tension to each side of the decorative frame 300, and the clip 210 can easily disengage from the groove 220, allowing the decorative frame 300 to slide out of the groove 220, thus easily achieving disassembly. Then, the new decorative frame 300 can be installed on the bottom shell 100 of the digital photo frame. Since the decorative frame 300 is an independent component, it has a variety of choices in terms of color, pattern and other decorative elements. Consumers can easily change it according to their own preferences and different scenarios to meet their personalized needs.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Please see Figure 7-8 The technical feature that distinguishes this embodiment from Embodiment 1 is that, in daily use, this type of digital photo frame does not first require the installation of a decorative face frame 300 (such as...). Figure 7 As shown, when the digital photo frame bottom shell 100 is scratched, dirty, dropped, collided or squeezed, consumers can choose a decorative frame 300 and install it with the bottom shell 100. The decorative frame 300 can bring a brand new look to the digital photo frame, and at the same time cover up the damaged parts of the digital photo frame.

[0046] When the digital photo frame is used in daily life, a decorative front frame 300 is installed (such as...). Figure 8 As shown, when the decorative frame 300 is scratched or damaged, it can be removed directly. The digital photo frame can still be used normally without having to send it for repair, thus saving the cost of repair or replacement and further increasing the practicality of the digital photo frame.
