[0002] Backlight modules are a key component in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Their main function is to provide a uniform backlight for the display screen. Backlight modules are widely used in various electronic devices, including televisions, computer monitors, mobile phones, tablets, and automotive displays.

[0003] Depending on the environment in which the backlight module is used, the accessories required for the backlight module will also vary. In some special environments, a cooling fan needs to be installed on the back of the backlight module to provide heat dissipation protection.

[0046] 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.

[0047] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The diagram shows a heat dissipation structure.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] The device includes a mounting housing 1, a cooling fan 2, and a locking assembly 3. The cooling fan 2 is located on the back of the mounting housing 1, and the back of the mounting housing 1 has ventilation holes corresponding to the cooling fan 2. The locking assembly 3 is located on the back of the mounting housing 1 and includes a locking plate 31, a protective component 32, and a positioning component 33. The locking plate 31 is located on the back of the mounting housing 1 and is used to lock the cooling fan 2. By sliding the locking plate 31 away from the cooling fan 2, the cooling fan 2 can be directly disassembled and maintained. The protective component 32 is located on the back of the mounting housing 1 and is used to lock and retain the end of the locking plate 31. The positioning component 33 is located on the back of the mounting housing 1 and is used to lock and retain the locking plate 31, thereby ensuring that the locking plate 31 is in a stable state and locks the cooling fan 2.

[0050] Furthermore, the locking assembly 3 also includes a snap-fit ​​plate 34 and a damping block 35. The snap-fit ​​plate 34 is fixedly installed on the side of the cooling fan 2, and a snap-fit ​​groove matching the snap-fit ​​plate 34 is provided on one side of the locking plate 31, so that the locking plate 31 locks the cooling fan 2 through the snap-fit ​​plate 34. A groove matching the damping block 35 is provided on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove. One side of the damping block 35 is pressed and fitted against the snap-fit ​​plate 34. The damping block 35 is made of rubber, so that when the cooling fan 2 is working, the damping block 35 can absorb some of the vibration and noise of the snap-fit ​​plate 34, thereby improving the stability of the cooling fan 2.

[0051] In particular, the positioning assembly 33 includes a positioning plate 331, a positioning rod 332, a fixing rod 333, a limiting block 334, and a limiting spring 335. The positioning plate 331 is disposed on the back of the mounting housing 1. One end of the positioning rod 332 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 331. A positioning hole is opened on the back of the locking plate 31. The outer wall of the positioning rod 332 is slidably engaged with the inner cavity of the positioning hole. The positioning plate 331 can lock the distance between the two locking plates 31 through the two positioning rods 332, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the cooling fan 2 by the two locking plates 31 through the two engaging plates 34. One end of the fixing rod 333 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 331. The outer wall of the 3 is slidably inserted into the mounting housing 1. The limiting block 334 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod 333. The limiting spring 335 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod 333. The limiting spring 335 is located between the limiting block 334 and the mounting housing 1. The limiting spring 335 can provide a spring force to the positioning plate 331 towards the locking plate 31 through the limiting block 334 and the fixing rod 333. The mounting housing 1 has a certain width, and corresponding space is reserved inside the mounting housing 1 at the part where the fixing rod 333 and the limiting block 334 are installed, so as to avoid the moving of the fixing rod 333 and the limiting block 334 causing collision damage to the components inside the mounting housing 1.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Based on Embodiment 1, the protective component 32 includes a limiting plate 321, a locking block 322, and a locking groove. The limiting plate 321 is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting housing 1, the locking block 322 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking plate 31, and the locking groove is opened at the end of the limiting plate 321. The outer wall of the locking block 322 is slidably engaged with the inner cavity of the locking groove. The limiting plate 321 can engage and limit the locking plate 31 through the locking block 322, thereby ensuring the stability of the locking plate 31 in engaging and limiting the cooling fan 2.

[0054] Furthermore, the protective component 32 also includes a buffer plate 323 and a first rubber sleeve 324. The buffer plate 323 is disposed on the side of the limiting plate 321 away from the mounting housing 1, and the first rubber sleeve 324 is disposed between the buffer plate 323 and the limiting plate 321. Thus, under the action of the first rubber sleeve 324, the buffer plate 323 can have an elastic buffering force on the limiting plate 321.

[0055] Furthermore, the protective assembly 32 also includes a connecting post 325, a connecting hole, a connecting plate 326, a sliding groove, a guide rod 327, and a second rubber sleeve 328. One end of the connecting post 325 is fixedly connected to the buffer plate 323, and the outer wall of the connecting post 325 is slidably sleeved with the first rubber sleeve 324. The connecting hole is opened on one side of the limiting plate 321, and the outer wall of the connecting post 325 is slidably sleeved with the connecting hole. The connecting plate 326 is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting post 325, and the sliding groove is opened on the inner wall of the connecting hole. The end of the outer wall of the connecting plate 326 is connected with the sliding groove. The inner cavity is slidably sleeved, and the connecting plate 326 can be locked to the connecting post 325. One end of the guide rod 327 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the outer wall of the guide rod 327 is slidably sleeved with the connecting plate 326. The second rubber sleeve 328 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 327. One end of the second rubber sleeve 328 is in contact with the connecting plate 326, and the second rubber sleeve 328 can provide a buffering force to the buffer plate 323 through the connecting plate 326 and the connecting post 325, thereby providing buffer protection to the back part of the mounting housing 1.
