[0031] This invention provides a flexible base shell, in which multiple sub-shells are interconnected by connecting parts, allowing the connecting parts to deform and enabling the entire base shell to bend to adapt to the needs of display modules with different curved surfaces. This not only improves the flexibility of the base shell but also greatly enhances its applicability in display modules with various complex shapes. This technical solution, through the construction of flexible connecting parts or an integral flexible base shell, reduces splicing gaps, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the base shell.

Example

[0032] This utility model embodiment provides a flexible bottom shell and module, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes multiple sub-shells 10, at least two sub-shells 10 are connected by connecting parts 20, and the sub-shells 10 are arranged parallel to each other; a retaining part 30 is provided on the periphery of the flexible bottom shell, and there is an installation space 40 between the retaining part 30 and the connecting parts 20; a first mounting part 50, the first mounting part 50 includes a first connecting position 510, the first connecting position 510 is provided in the installation space 40; and a second mounting part 60, the second mounting part 60 includes a second connecting position 610, the second connecting position 610 is provided in the installation space 40.

[0033] It is understood that in the present invention, the connecting part 20 of the flexible bottom shell may be made of flexible material, or the entire flexible bottom shell may be integrally formed of flexible material. The connecting part 20 may be a relatively thin part of the bottom shell. When the bottom shell is bent, the connecting part 20 deforms, and the sub-shells 10 connected at both ends of the connecting part 20 move closer to each other, thereby making the entire bottom shell bend.

[0034] Generally, sub-shells 10 can be connected to each other by connecting parts 20, or one side of a sub-shell 10 can be connected to a connecting part 20, and the other side can be connected to another sub-shell 10. The specific connection arrangement between the sub-shells 10 and the connecting parts 20 can be set according to actual needs. A retaining part 30 is provided on the periphery of the flexible bottom shell, and an installation space 40 is provided between the retaining part 30 and the connecting part 20. The installation space 40 can be used to install circuit boards and / or display films. The first mounting part 50 can be used to install / fix circuit boards, and the second mounting part 60 can be used to install / fix display films.

[0035] The mounting space 40 has mounting platforms 90 on its lower perimeter, on which components such as circuit boards and display films can be mounted.

[0036] The modular design of the sub-shell 10 and the connecting part 20 makes the assembly process simpler and more efficient. Meanwhile, the reserved installation space 40 between the enclosure part 30 and the connecting part 20 facilitates the installation of circuit boards and display films, reducing assembly difficulty and cost. The ingenious design of the installation space 40 not only meets the installation requirements of circuit boards and display films but also optimizes the internal layout, improving the space utilization of the entire module. This is of great significance for modern display products that pursue thinner and more compact structures. The flexible arrangement of the sub-shell 10 and the connecting part 20 gives the bottom shell high scalability and customization capabilities. The number, shape, and connection method of the sub-shell 10 can be easily adjusted according to specific application scenarios and customer needs to meet diverse market demands.

[0037] More specifically, the sub-shell 10 may include a recess 110, the cross-sectional shape of which is trapezoidal, rectangular, or triangular. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the groove portion 110 in this application is trapezoidal, which can increase the bendability of the bendable bottom shell provided by this utility model embodiment.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting portion 50 is located at the edge of the recessed portion 110 and / or the connecting portion 20. More specifically, the second mounting portion 60 may be located at the edge of the recessed portion 110 and / or the connecting portion 20. In this way, the flexible bottom shell provided by this embodiment of the present invention reduces or even avoids deformation of the first mounting portion 50 and / or the second mounting portion 60 when in a bent state.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the first connection position 510 can be a connection hole. More specifically, the second connection position 610 can be a connection post. This allows the circuit board to be fixed to the connection hole of the first mounting part 50 using screws or similar connectors. Then, the connection post on the second mounting part 60 passes through the circuit board and connects to the display mask. When waterproofing operations such as potting are performed on the display mask, the connection post can reduce or even prevent the entry of adhesive into the bottom housing. Through the cooperation of the connection hole and the connection post, the circuit board can be easily fixed to the first mounting part 50 using screws or other connectors. Simultaneously, the connection post passing through the circuit board and connecting to the display mask achieves a modular and standardized installation process. This not only simplifies the installation steps but also improves the stability of the installation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the circuit board and display mask during long-term use. The connection post plays a crucial role in waterproofing operations such as potting of the display mask. Due to the presence of the connection post, adhesive is effectively blocked outside the bottom housing, reducing the risk of adhesive entering the bottom housing, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the entire display module. This is especially important for applications in harsh environments such as outdoor settings, effectively protecting internal electronic components from corrosion by moisture and other harmful substances. Standardized connectors and installation processes facilitate automated production, improving efficiency. Furthermore, the relatively simple design of the connector holes and posts effectively controls manufacturing costs, contributing to a reduction in the overall cost of the display module.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2More specifically, the top surface of the connecting column is flush with the top of the enclosure 30. This flush alignment reduces gaps between the display components and the base shell, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture, dust, and other harmful substances. This is crucial for improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the display module, especially in harsh environments such as outdoors, where it more effectively protects internal electronic components from damage. The flush alignment of the connecting column with the top of the enclosure 30 also contributes to a more stable structural support after the display mask is installed. This not only enhances the stability of the display module during long-term use but also helps improve the product's durability and lifespan.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, more specifically, the flexible base shell and module provided in this embodiment of the present invention also includes a third mounting part 70, the opening of which faces opposite directions to the opening of the recessed part 110. This allows the flexible base shell to be fixed to a wall or mounting frame via the third mounting part 70. The introduction of the third mounting part 70 enables the flexible base shell and module provided in this embodiment of the present invention to be flexibly fixed to a wall or mounting frame, greatly expanding its application scenarios. Whether for commercial displays, home entertainment, or information dissemination in public places, it allows for more convenient and stable installation. The opposite opening orientation of the third mounting part 70 to the recessed part 110 helps to form a more balanced stress structure when the base shell is fixed to the wall or mounting frame. This not only enhances the stability of the base shell in the installed state but also helps to improve the safety of the entire display module, especially in situations requiring the resistance to large external forces or vibrations, effectively protecting internal electronic components from damage.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, more specifically, the flexible base shell and module provided in this embodiment of the present invention also includes a through hole 80, which is disposed on the sub-shell 10. The through hole 80 can be used to connect the inside and outside of the base shell, and is commonly used in display components for passing signal lines, power lines, etc.

[0043] This utility model embodiment also provides a display module, including the flexible base shell of any of the above embodiments. Due to the flexible base shell, the display module can easily adapt to various curved surfaces and shapes, achieving a perfect fit and display effect on curved walls, cylindrical objects, or other complex curved surfaces. This superior bending performance not only enhances the aesthetics and visual appeal of the display module but also provides good sealing, broadening its application scenarios and scope.

[0044] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a flexible base shell, in which multiple sub-shells 10 are interconnected by connecting parts 20, allowing the connecting parts 20 to deform, enabling the entire base shell to bend to adapt to the needs of different curved display modules. This not only improves the flexibility of the base shell but also greatly enhances its applicability in display modules with various complex shapes. This technical solution, through the construction of flexible connecting parts 20 or an integral flexible base shell, reduces splicing gaps, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the base shell. This is particularly important for applications in harsh environments such as outdoor settings, effectively preventing the intrusion of harmful substances such as moisture and dust, and extending the service life of the display module.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
