Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a front frame assembly and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, flat-panel TVs, LCD TVs, and LCD monitors are widely used in people's daily lives. As a crucial component of LCD TVs, the front bezel not only supports the display panel but also directly impacts the overall aesthetics and user experience of the display device.

[0003] In existing display device designs, the front bezel is usually connected to the rear shell, together forming the outer casing of the display device. This design provides sufficient support and protection while also facilitating production and assembly. However, for considerations such as aesthetics, production efficiency, and cost control, the front bezel is often designed as a separate unit, meaning it is composed of multiple parts assembled together.

[0004] While the split front frame design offers significant advantages in terms of improved production efficiency, reduced manufacturing costs, and increased design flexibility, it also introduces a series of reliability issues. Because the front frame is divided into multiple parts, the joints between components often become stress concentration points, making them susceptible to external impacts or deformation during long-term use. This can lead to a decrease in the overall stability of the front frame and even structural failure. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a front frame assembly and a display device that can improve reliability.

[0006] This application embodiment provides a front frame component, the front frame component comprising:

[0007] A front frame body, the front frame body including a first folded edge and a second folded edge, the first folded edge and the second folded edge being connected;

[0008] A reinforcing member, the reinforcing member including a third folded edge and a fourth folded edge, the third folded edge and the fourth folded edge being connected;

[0009] The second folded edge overlaps with the third folded edge, such that the first folded edge and the fourth folded edge are positioned opposite each other.

[0010] This application embodiment also provides a display device, including:

[0011] Back panel;

[0012] Rear shell, which is connected to the back plate;

[0013] The middle frame is connected to the back plate;

[0014] A display panel is connected to the middle frame, and the display panel has a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area.

[0015] The front frame assembly is the aforementioned front frame assembly, wherein the first folded edge is disposed in the non-display area, the second folded edge and the third folded edge are fixed to the back panel, and the fourth folded edge is fixed to the rear shell.

[0016] The front frame assembly provided in this application includes a front frame body and a reinforcing member. The front frame body includes a first folded edge and a second folded edge, and the reinforcing member includes a third folded edge and a fourth folded edge. The second and third folded edges overlap, ensuring a tight connection between the reinforcing member and the front frame body. Furthermore, the overlapping area effectively extends the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing member to the entire front frame body, significantly enhancing the structural strength of the front frame assembly. Moreover, the third folded edge of the reinforcing member cooperates with the rear shell, achieving a connection between the front frame body and the rear shell. This design not only simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency but also further strengthens the connection stability between the front frame assembly and the rear shell, effectively resisting external impacts and deformation during long-term use, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the display device.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] This application provides a front frame assembly and a display device that not only improves aesthetics but also reduces costs and enhances reliability.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a front frame assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. This application provides a front frame assembly 100, which is applied to a display device and can be used to decorate the front frame assembly 100. The front frame assembly 100 includes a front frame body 10 and a reinforcing member 20. The reinforcing member 20 is used to fix the front frame body 10 to the display device.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the front frame body provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the reinforcing member provided in an embodiment of this application. To match the shape of the display device, the front frame body 10 includes a first folded edge 11 and a second folded edge 12, which are connected. The first folded edge 11 and the second folded edge 12 form an angle with each other, for example, 80 degrees to 100 degrees, preferably 90 degrees. The reinforcing member 20 includes a third folded edge 21 and a fourth folded edge 22, which are connected. The third folded edge 21 and the fourth folded edge 22 form an angle with each other, for example, 80 degrees to 100 degrees, preferably 90 degrees. The front frame body 10 and the reinforcing member 20 can be L-shaped. The second folded edge 12 overlaps with the third folded edge 21, so that the first folded edge 11 and the fourth folded edge 22 are positioned opposite each other.

[0025] Specifically, the first folded edge 11 is located on the side of the display device capable of displaying the image, and the fourth folded edge 22 is connected to the back panel of the display device. The second folded edge 12 and the third folded edge 21 can overlap to improve the reliability of their connection and also ensure that the relative position between the front frame body 10 and the reinforcing member 20 is firmly fixed.

[0026] The front frame assembly 100 of this application embodiment is composed of a front frame body 10 and a reinforcing member 20. The first folded edge 11 and the second folded edge 12 of the front frame body 10, and the third folded edge 21 and the fourth folded edge 22 of the reinforcing member 20 together constitute the main structure of the front frame assembly 100. In particular, the overlapping design of the second folded edge 12 and the third folded edge 21 not only ensures a tight connection between them, but also extends the reinforcement effect of the reinforcing member 20 to the entire front frame body 10 through the effective utilization of the overlapping area, thereby significantly improving the structural strength of the front frame assembly 100.

[0027] Furthermore, the third fold 21 of the reinforcing member 20 cooperates with the rear shell to connect the front frame body 10 to the rear shell. This design not only simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency, but also further enhances the connection stability between the front frame assembly 100 and the rear shell, effectively resisting external impacts and deformation during long-term use, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the display device.

[0028] It is worth noting that in the overlapping design, the degree of overlap between the third fold 21 and the second fold 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In some cases, they can completely overlap; while in other cases, the third fold 21 may only partially overlap the second fold 12. This design flexibility allows the front frame assembly 100 to adapt to display devices of different thicknesses, thereby ensuring its stability and durability in various application scenarios. In short, as long as there is an overlapping relationship between the second fold 12 and the third fold 21, it meets the requirements of the embodiments of this application.

[0029] Please continue reading. Figure 2 The first fold 11 and the second fold 12 form a receiving space 13, and the third fold 21 is disposed within the receiving space 13. Since the first fold 11 and the second fold 12 form an angle with each other to enclose and create the receiving space 13, the third fold 21 is disposed within the receiving space 13 to be fixed to the second fold 12. This not only optimizes space utilization but also ensures the compactness and stability of the structure. Because the first fold 11 and the second fold 12 intersect at a specific angle, this unique receiving space 13 is formed, providing space for the insertion of the reinforcing member 20.

[0030] Understandably, by using the front frame body 10 to surround the reinforcing member 20, the decorative area can be increased, meaning that not only the front frame of the display device but also the sides of the display device can be decorated, providing users with a more unified visual experience. Furthermore, this arrangement of the front frame body 10 and the reinforcing member 20 also conceals the connection gap between them, preventing it from being directly exposed to the user's view, thereby further enhancing the overall aesthetics of the display device.

[0031] The first folded edge 11 has a decorative pattern 14 on the side away from the receiving space 13, which enhances the decorative effect of the front frame and sides of the display device from all angles when the front frame assembly 100 is fixed to the display device. The decorative pattern 14 can take many forms, such as simple lines, repeating geometric shapes, or textured patterns and colorful designs, providing users with a wide range of visual choices, such as providing visual effects like laser, wood, leather, or metal.

[0032] It is understood that in the solution provided in this application embodiment, the lower edge of the first folded edge 11 of the front frame body 10 (where the first folded edge 11 is close to the second folded edge 12) can be treated with an anodized decorative line, achieving a dual-effect integrated appearance and giving the front frame body 10 a unique metallic texture. The front frame body 10 can be a stainless steel black electrophoretic part, and the appearance of the front frame body 10 is equivalent to the effect of anodizing the lower edge of extruded aluminum in the existing solution, corresponding to the three-sided extruded aluminum frame of the display device, achieving an extremely narrow bezel effect.

[0033] Compared to the appearance gap problem in existing solutions, the front frame assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment achieves a seamless appearance, completely eliminating the defect of splicing gaps.

[0034] Specifically, on the lower edge of the outer surface of the first fold 11 of the front frame body 10 (near the second fold 12), an anodized decorative line (decorative pattern 14) can be applied, including but not limited to traditional processes such as screen printing, pad printing, and masking spraying, as well as more efficient, environmentally friendly, and lower-cost ultraviolet (UV) light-curing ink printing processes. The application of these processes allows the front frame body 10 to present a rich variety of integrated multi-effect decorative effects, such as textures and colored patterns.

[0035] The front frame assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment achieves an ultra-narrow bezel, metallic texture, and integrated dual-effect appearance, completely solving the problem of splicing gaps between appearance components in existing solutions. Simultaneously, the integrated multi-effect decorative effect achieved on the front frame body 10 greatly enhances the decorative and aesthetic appeal of the display device.

[0036] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3 The third folded edge 21 of the reinforcing member 20 is located inside the front frame body 10 and is therefore concealed by the front frame body 10; while the fourth folded edge 22 of the reinforcing member 20 is located inside the rear shell of the display device and is fixed to the rear shell of the display device, and is also concealed by the rear shell. Both are concealed by their respective components. This design eliminates the need for cumbersome surface treatments for the reinforcing member 20, such as CNC lathe machining, wire drawing, anodizing, or painting, thereby greatly simplifying the production process and paving the way for significant cost reduction. It is worth mentioning that the surface roughness of the front frame body 10 is strictly controlled to be no greater than that of the reinforcing member 20 to ensure overall harmony and aesthetics.

[0037] The reinforcing member 20 mainly serves to connect and fix the front frame body 10 to the display device, thereby improving the reliability of the fixation.

[0038] The front frame body 10 can be made of at least one of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and galvanized steel sheet. When the front frame body 10 is made of stainless steel, the stainless steel material can be SUS430-1 / 2H, SUS430-3 / 4H, SUS304-1 / 2H, SUS304-3 / 4H, SUS301-1 / 2H, or SUS301-3 / 4H. Furthermore, the surface of the front frame body 10 can be electrophoretically treated to give it a black appearance.

[0039] Since the reinforcing member 20 does not require consideration of appearance but rather yield strength and machinability, a wide range of materials can be selected for it. The material for the reinforcing member 20 can be at least one of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, galvanized steel sheet, and galvanized aluminum-magnesium steel sheet (ZAM). The galvanized steel sheet can be either SECC (electrolytic zinc-plated steel sheet) or SGCC (hot-dip galvanized low-carbon steel). When the material of the reinforcing member 20 is SECC or SGCC, the yield strength is 140MPa to 200MPa, exhibiting strong structural support capabilities. When the material of the reinforcing member 20 is galvanized aluminum-magnesium steel sheet (ZAM), the coating thickness is greater than 80g / m². 2 This further enhances the corrosion resistance.

[0040] In terms of thickness design, the thickness of the reinforcing member 20 is equal to or greater than the thickness of the front frame body 10, exhibiting a more robust structural characteristic. Specifically, the thickness of the reinforcing member 20 ranges from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, preferably 0.8mm, 1.0mm, or 1.2mm, while the thickness of the front frame body 10 ranges from 0.2mm to 0.5mm, preferably 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, or 0.5mm. This design not only improves the reliability of the fixation but also enhances the resistance to deformation.

[0041] Please continue reading. Figure 3 The fourth fold edge 22, away from the third fold edge 21, has multiple ears 23. Each ear 23 has a first fixing threaded hole 231, allowing the display device's fixing components, such as screws, to easily pass through and tightly connect with the back cover, thereby firmly fixing the reinforcement 20 to the back cover. More importantly, the reinforcement 20 is cleverly fixed to the bottom of the back cover and back panel, ensuring that its presence is not noticeable to the user, further enhancing the overall aesthetics of the display device.

[0042] The second fold 12 and the third fold 21 are glued together. The design of the front frame body 10 covering the reinforcing member 20 allows the two to overlap perfectly, thus achieving a large-area adhesive connection and greatly improving the reliability of the fixation. In addition, double-sided tape or AB liquid adhesive can also be used to coat and press the front frame body 10 and the reinforcing member 20 together to achieve a tighter bond.

[0043] Optionally, both the second fold 12 and the third fold 21 are cleverly provided with second fixing threaded through holes 211. These through holes not only correspond to each other, but can also be fixed to the back plate stably by fasteners such as screws, further enhancing the structural stability of the entire front frame assembly.

[0044] This application provides a display device, which can be a television, monitor, commercial display screen, educational device, or other device with display function. The display device includes a back panel, a rear shell, a middle frame, a display panel, and a front frame assembly 100. The rear shell and middle frame are both connected to the back panel, and the display panel is connected to the middle frame. The display panel has a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area. The front frame assembly 100 is the same as the one described in the above embodiment. The first folded edge 11 of the front frame body 10 is located in the non-display area, the second folded edge 12 and the third folded edge 21 are fixed to the back panel, and the fourth folded edge 22 is fixed to the rear shell.

[0045] The third folded edge 21 of the reinforcing member 20 is located inside the front frame body 10 and is therefore concealed by the front frame body 10; while the fourth folded edge 22 of the reinforcing member 20 is located inside the rear shell of the display device and is fixed to the rear shell of the display device, and is also concealed by the rear shell. Therefore, the built-in reinforcing member 20 does not require surface treatment, thus avoiding CNC lathe machining, wire drawing, anodizing, or painting and other surface treatment processes. This means that the roughness of the front frame body 10 is no greater than the roughness of the reinforcing member 20, thereby greatly simplifying the processing flow and creating favorable conditions for significantly reducing production costs.

[0046] Specifically, the fourth fold 22 has a plurality of ears 23 on one edge away from the third fold 21, and each ear 23 has a first fixing threaded hole 231. The fastener of the display device, such as a screw, can pass through the first fixing threaded hole 231 and be fixed to the rear shell to fix the reinforcement 20 to the bottom of the rear shell.

[0047] Furthermore, to enhance the reliability of the front frame assembly mounted on the back panel and / or rear shell, both the second flange 12 and the third flange 21 are provided with second fixing threaded holes 211. The second fixing threaded holes 211 on the second flange 12 and the second fixing threaded holes 211 on the third flange 21 are correspondingly provided, and the second flange 12 and the third flange 21 can be fixed to the back panel by fasteners such as screws passing through the second fixing threaded holes 211.

[0048] The front frame body 10 in the front frame assembly 100 can cover the non-display area to enhance the aesthetics of the display device. Furthermore, the front frame body 10 can also decorate the middle frame of the display device, presenting a seamless, aesthetically pleasing bent effect. The third fold 21 of the reinforcing member 20 is connected to the inner side of the front frame body 10, and the fourth fold 22 of the reinforcing member 20 is fixed to the bottom inner side of the rear shell. That is, the front frame body 10 and the rear shell together cover the reinforcing member 20. In this way, the reinforcing member 20 can fix the relative positions of the front frame body 10, the middle frame, and the display panel without affecting the appearance. The built-in reinforcing member 20 does not require surface treatment, thus eliminating the need for CNC lathe machining, wire drawing, anodizing, or painting. This greatly simplifies the manufacturing process, significantly reduces costs, and improves reliability.

[0049] The front frame assembly 100 and display device provided in this application embodiment include a front frame body 10 and a reinforcing member 20. The front frame body 10 includes a first folded edge 11 and a second folded edge 12, and the reinforcing member 20 includes a third folded edge 21 and a fourth folded edge 22. The second folded edge 12 and the third folded edge 21 are connected. The front frame body 10 can serve as the front frame of the display device for decoration, and the reinforcing member 20 can fix the front frame body 10 to the display device. The split-type setting can improve aesthetics, reduce costs, and improve reliability.
