The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides an easy-to-install digital tube assembly, including a digital tube body 1 and a digital tube bracket 2. The digital tube body 1 has a display surface 11; the digital tube bracket 2 includes a bracket body and two limiting plates 23. The two limiting plates 23 are disposed opposite to each other on the bracket body and partially protrude from the top surface of the bracket body to form a mounting position 24. The digital tube body 1 is snapped into the mounting position 24. Two pressing plates 25 are provided on the two sides of the bracket body adjacent to the limiting plates 23 along its own height direction. The two pressing plates 25 are disposed opposite to each other and staggered from the limiting plates 23, with a gap 26 between them. The free end of the pressing plate 25 is provided with a connecting hook 251.

[0029] A digital tube is a display device composed of seven or eight light-emitting diodes (LEDs), typically used to display numbers and characters. These LEDs are arranged in a specific pattern to form an "8" shape to display corresponding numbers, letters, etc. The digital tube bracket 2 is an auxiliary tool for stably mounting the LED digital tube on the control board. Furthermore, the bracket body, the limiting plate 23, and the pressing plate 25 are all integrally molded structures with good connection strength. At the same time, a gap 26 is formed between the pressing plate 25 and the limiting plate 23, allowing the two pressing plates 25 to come closer together under external force so that the connecting hook 251 can be snapped onto the control board.

[0030] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bracket body includes a main board 21 and a connecting plate 22. The connecting plate 22 is disposed on opposite sides of the main board 21. The two limiting plates 23 are respectively connected to the corresponding side of the connecting plate 22. The connecting plate 22 has a through groove 221 for inserting and installing the pins of the digital tube body 1. The inner diameter of the through groove 221 gradually decreases from one end of the digital tube bracket 2 where the digital tube body 1 is located to the other end. After the digital tube body 1 is installed in the bracket body, its own pins pass through the through groove 221 and cooperate with the through groove 221 to protect the pins of the digital tube body 1 and prevent them from being bent or broken by external forces during use, thus affecting its performance.

[0031] Furthermore, the motherboard 21 has a cuboid structure with four sides. The connecting plate 22 is disposed on two of the opposite sides, while the pressing plate 25 is disposed on the other two opposite sides. Both the connecting plate 22 and the pressing plate 25 are perpendicular to the motherboard 21 and extend in the same direction. The width of the pressing plate 25 is the same as the width of the motherboard 21, and the length of the connecting plate 22 is less than the length of the motherboard 21.

[0032] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the length of the connecting plate 22 is less than the length of the limiting plate 23, so as to form the spacing 26 and surround the limiting plate 23 to form a snap-fit ​​groove 27. The digital tube body 1 is also provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​hooks 12 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 27. The snap-fit ​​hooks 12 are arranged at an angle on the surface of the digital tube body 1 away from the display surface 11.

[0033] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting plate 23 has a protruding edge 231 on its surface facing the main body of the bracket, and the inward edge of the protruding edge 231 forms a first guide surface 232. The snap-fit ​​hook 12 forms a second guide surface 13 corresponding to the first guide surface 232. During the process of installing the digital tube body 1 in the mounting position 24, the second guide surface 13 and the first guide surface 232 abut against each other, applying pressure to the digital tube body 1 on the display surface 11, causing the protruding edge 231 to expand slightly outward, and the second guide surface 13 to gradually disengage from the first guide surface 232 until the snap-fit ​​hook 12 is engaged in the snap-fit ​​groove 27. At this time, the digital tube body 1 is stably engaged in the mounting position 24, effectively avoiding the problem of high temperature expansion of the digital tube body 1 due to high temperature and the problem of the digital tube bracket 2 loosening and floating.

[0034] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting position 24 is inclined. After the digital tube body 1 is snapped into the mounting position 24, the digital tube body 1 is in an inclined state to adapt to the viewing angle of the user during actual use. At the same time, the tilt angle can effectively reduce fatigue in the cervical spine, eyes and other parts, and improve efficiency and comfort.

[0035] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting plate 23 has an observation groove 234 at one end away from the mounting position, and the limiting plate 23 has abutment members 233 on both sides of the observation groove 234. When the digital tube body 1 is installed on the control board, it abuts against the control board through the abutment members 233, and the observation groove 234 is formed between the abutment members 233 and the control board, which makes it easy for the staff to observe whether the pins of the digital tube body 1 correspond to the control board to be installed, avoiding misaligned installation and soldering to the control board in a wave soldering oven, thus improving the installation accuracy and efficiency.

[0036] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the end face of the abutment 233 and the end face of the pressing plate 25 are flush, so that when the digital tube bracket 2 is installed, the abutment 233 abuts against the control board, and the connecting hook 251 engages with the bayonet of the control board. The two cooperate with each other to ensure that the digital tube bracket 2 is stably connected to the control board with high tightness and good stability.

[0037] In summary, the pressing plate 25 is positioned between the bracket body and the limiting plate 23, forming a gap 26 to create a large pressing surface. After applying pressure to the two pressing plates 25, they can easily come together to snap the connecting hook 251 onto the control board, facilitating the installation of the digital tube product, improving installation efficiency, and saving time and effort. At the same time, the digital tube body 1 is connected to the mounting position 24 of the digital tube bracket 2 by snap-fit, which has good connection stability and can prevent the digital tube body 1 from becoming loose and floating due to high temperature expansion caused by high temperature.
