[0026] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. The embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the rear cover pressing display screen of this utility model includes a front panel 1, a display module 2, a rear cover 3, a connecting post 11, an inner retaining ring 12, an outer retaining ring 13, a receiving groove 14, a buckle 15, a screw post 16, a diaphragm 21, a light blocking component 22, a circuit board 23, a through hole 24, a groove with holes 31, a pressing protrusion 32, a reinforcing rib 33, a rear cover outer ring 34, a rear cover inner ring 35, a notch 36, and a wiring port 37. The display module 2 is disposed between the front panel 1 and the rear cover 3, and the display module 2 is tightly connected to the front panel 1 through the rear cover 3 and a fastening assembly.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the display module 2 includes a film 21, a light guide plate, and a circuit board 23 arranged from top to bottom. A light-blocking element 22 is arranged on the outer periphery of the light guide plate, and a touch-sensing layer is arranged on the film 21 or on the circuit board 23. The display module 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 24 for the connecting posts 11 to pass through, and the number and position of the through holes correspond to the connecting posts 11.
[0029] The front panel 1 is used to fix the display module 2 and the back cover 3, and also to fix the entire display screen to the electrical appliance to be installed. In this embodiment, the multiple screw posts 15 on the back of the front panel 1 are used to fix the front panel 1 to the electrical appliance.
[0030] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, two adjacent retaining rings are provided on the inner surface of the front panel 1, and the display module 2 is arranged inside the inner retaining ring 12. A receiving groove 14 is formed between the inner retaining ring 12 and the outer retaining ring 13. The receiving groove 14 is used to embed the back cover 3, which can not only achieve accurate positioning during installation, but also prevent the back cover from shifting. In application scenarios with high waterproof requirements, it can also be used as a sealing and waterproofing groove. The two adjacent retaining rings are integrally formed with the panel 1.
[0031] The space within the inner retaining ring 12 is primarily used to securely mount the ultra-thin display module. After the display module 2 is installed and debugged, it is mounted upside down within the inner retaining ring 12, with the diaphragm 21 adhering to the inner surface of the front panel 1. A clip 15 is provided on the inner retaining ring 12 to limit and secure the display module 2. The inner retaining ring 12 can also serve as a barrier for potting. In applications requiring high waterproofing, it can be used to seal the entire back of the circuit board 23 with potting, avoiding the through-hole created by the connecting post 11 penetrating the display module 2 during potting.
[0032] The front panel 1 is either an integral structure or a separate structure consisting of a panel support and a transparent display window. In this application, an integral structure is preferred. The front panel 1 is made by injection molding or mold opening. The integral structure is made of light-transmitting or semi-light-transmitting plastic material, and the integral structure has better waterproof performance.
[0033] Alternatively, the front panel 1 can be a split structure including a panel bracket and a transparent display window. The panel bracket is injection molded or molded, and the upper surface of the panel bracket has holes for fixing the transparent display window. In this case, the panel bracket can be made of a non-transparent material, which is not shown in the figure. This structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

Several pressing protrusions 32 are provided on the inner surface of the back cover 3. These protrusions 32 contact the circuit board 23 of the display module 2, and under the action of the fastening components, the pressing protrusions 32 tightly connect the display module 2 to the front panel 1. Reinforcing ribs 33 are provided on the back of the back cover 3, and the pressing protrusions 32 connect to the reinforcing ribs 33 to improve the structural stability of the back cover. The pressing protrusions 32 contact the blank areas on the back of the circuit board 23, without affecting the arrangement of circuit components or normal operation.
[0037] A wiring port 37 is also provided on the back cover 3, through which the connector on the circuit board 23 passes and is plugged into an external connection cable. A notch 36 is provided on the inner ring 35 of the back cover, which corresponds to the position of the buckle 15 to prevent the inner ring 35 of the back cover from blocking the buckle 15.
[0038] The fastening assembly of this utility model includes a connecting post 11 disposed on the back of the front panel 1 and a perforated groove 31 disposed on the rear cover 3, and the rear cover 3 is fixed to the front panel 1 by screws and the fastening assembly.
[0039] Installation steps of this utility model:
[0040] (1) Assembly and debugging of display module 2;
[0041] (2) The display module 2 is installed into the inner retaining ring 12 from the back of the front panel 1. At this time, the connecting post 11 on the front panel 1 passes through the through hole 24 on the display module 2. After being installed in the predetermined position, the buckle 15 on the inner retaining ring limits the display module 2.
[0042] (3) If it is a special use case with high waterproof requirements, a waterproof layer can be formed by potting glue on the back of the circuit board 12 inside the inner retaining ring 12. If there are no high-level waterproof requirements, this step can be omitted.
[0043] (4) Install the back cover 3 and insert the outer ring 34 of the back cover into the receiving groove 14 to achieve precise positioning. At this time, the connecting post is aligned with the perforated groove 31. Screws are screwed into the connecting post 11 through the perforated groove 31. After tightening, the back cover 3 is fixed to the front panel 1. At the same time, the pressing protrusion 32 on the back cover 3 presses the display module 1, so that the diaphragm 21 of the display module 1 is in close contact with the back of the front panel 1, improving the stability and sensitivity of touch control.
[0044] (5) If it is a special use case with high waterproof requirements, you can apply glue to seal the waterproof inside the outer groove 14 of the back cover outer ring 34. If there are no waterproof requirements, this step can be omitted.
[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
