Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of touch screen structure technology, specifically to an outdoor touch screen structure. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor touchscreens are specifically designed to meet the challenges of outdoor environments, possessing strong environmental adaptability. Compared to traditional indoor touchscreens, outdoor touchscreens must withstand challenges such as strong sunlight, extreme weather, frequent physical impacts, and prolonged operation. Therefore, their design takes into account multiple factors, including durability, protection, display quality, and interactive experience.
[0003] To reduce damage to touchscreens from outdoor environments, existing touchscreens have a protective shell around them, with a protective cover rotating around the shell. When using the touchscreen, the protective cover is opened to access it; when not using the touchscreen, the protective cover is closed by rotating it.
[0004] While this method can protect the touchscreen, it still presents the following problems: because the touchscreen is opened by directly rotating the protective cover, the protective shell opens too wide, which may require the touchscreen to make room for a large amount of use, affecting its usability.

Each of the third rotating posts is rotatably connected to the third scissor lift, and each of the fourth rotating posts is rotatably connected to the fourth scissor lift.
[0011] Furthermore, the mounting housing is provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove on both sides respectively. A first lead screw is rotatably connected in the first sliding groove, and a second lead screw is rotatably connected in the second sliding groove. A synchronous belt connects the first lead screw and the second lead screw. A first thread and a second thread are respectively provided on both sides of the first lead screw, and a third thread and a fourth thread are respectively provided on both sides of the second lead screw. The first thread and the second thread have opposite directions of rotation, and the third thread and the fourth thread have opposite directions of rotation. A first sliding block and a second sliding block are slidably connected on both sides of the first sliding groove, and the second sliding groove has a sliding block on both sides of the second sliding groove. The device is connected by a third sliding block and a fourth sliding block. The first sliding block is threadedly connected to a first thread, the second sliding block is threadedly connected to a second thread, the third sliding block is threadedly connected to a third thread, and the fourth sliding block is threadedly connected to a fourth thread.

[0015] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: When the touch screen body needs to be used, the synchronous belt is activated, driving the first lead screw and the second lead screw to rotate. The first sliding block and the second sliding block move apart, and the third sliding block and the fourth sliding block move apart. Through the first scissor, the second scissor, the third scissor, and the fourth scissor, the first folding piece and the second folding piece fold together, and the third folding piece and the fourth folding piece fold together, completing the opening operation of the touch screen body. When the touch screen body is finished being used, the synchronous belt is activated in reverse, driving the first folding piece and the second folding piece to move apart, and the third folding piece and the fourth folding piece to move apart, completing the closing operation of the touch screen.
[0017] In this embodiment, a first protective cover and a second protective cover are provided on the mounting housing. The first protective cover is designed as a combination of several first folding pieces and second folding pieces, and the second protective cover is designed as a combination of several third folding pieces and fourth folding pieces.

[0030] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0031] like Figures 2-9 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes an outdoor touch screen structure, which includes a touch screen body 4 and a mounting housing 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the touchscreen body 4 is fixedly disposed within the mounting housing 1. A first protective cover 21 and a second protective cover 22 are slidably disposed on the mounting housing 1. The first protective cover 21 includes a plurality of first folding pieces 211 and a plurality of second folding pieces 212. A first folding structure is disposed on the mounting housing 1 to control the bending of the first folding pieces 211 toward the second folding pieces 212. The second protective cover 22 includes a plurality of third folding pieces 221 and a plurality of fourth folding pieces 222. A second folding structure is disposed on the mounting housing 1 to control the bending of the third folding pieces 221 toward the fourth folding pieces 222.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first folding structure includes a first scissor bar 31 and a second scissor bar 32. A first rotating post 311 and a second rotating post 321 are fixedly disposed on both sides of each first folding piece 211. Both sides of each second folding piece 212 are rotatably connected to the first rotating post 311 and the second rotating post 321, respectively. Each first rotating post 311 is rotatably connected to the first scissor bar 31, and each second rotating post 321 is rotatably connected to the second scissor bar 32. This embodiment achieves simultaneous bending control of each first folding piece 211 and second folding piece 212 through the first scissor bar 31 and the second scissor bar 32, ensuring that the first protective cover 21 can be simultaneously bent and folded or unfolded for sealing, thus improving adjustment efficiency.
[0034] The second folding structure in this embodiment includes a third scissor lift 33 and a fourth scissor lift 34. A third rotating post 331 and a fourth rotating post 341 are fixedly disposed on both sides of each third folding piece 221. Both sides of each fourth folding piece 222 are rotatably connected to the third rotating post 331 and the fourth rotating post 341, respectively. Each third rotating post 331 is rotatably connected to the third scissor lift 33, and each fourth rotating post 341 is rotatably connected to the fourth scissor lift 34. The second folding structure in this embodiment uses the same structure as the first folding structure, ensuring that both sides of the folding pieces can move synchronously.
[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting housing 1 has a first sliding groove 12 and a second sliding groove 13 on both sides to ensure that the first scissor lift 31, the second scissor lift 32, the third scissor lift 33, and the fourth scissor lift 34 do not experience movement misalignment. A first lead screw 123 is rotatably mounted in the first sliding groove 12, and a second lead screw 133 is rotatably mounted in the second sliding groove 13. A synchronous belt 61 connects the first lead screw 123 and the second lead screw 133. This design ensures that both sides of each folding plate can be controlled simultaneously, resulting in more balanced and reliable folding plate movement. A first thread 1231 and a second thread 1232 are located on both sides of the first lead screw 123, and a third thread 1331 and a fourth thread 1332 are located on both sides of the second lead screw 133. The first thread 1231 and the second thread 1232 have opposite rotation directions, as do the third thread 1331 and the fourth thread 1332. This facilitates simultaneous control of the first sliding block 121 and the second sliding block 122 moving towards or away from each other, improving control efficiency. The first sliding block 121 and the second sliding block 122 are slidably disposed on both sides of the first sliding groove 12, and the third sliding block 131 and the fourth sliding block 132 are slidably disposed on both sides of the second sliding groove 13. The first sliding block 121 is threadedly connected to the first thread 1231, the second sliding block 122 is threadedly connected to the second thread 1232, the third sliding block 131 is threadedly connected to the third thread 1331, and the fourth sliding block 132 is threadedly connected to the fourth thread 1332. One end of the first scissor fork 31 is rotatably connected to the mounting housing 1, and the other end of the first scissor fork 31 is rotatably connected to the first sliding block 121. One end of the second scissor fork 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting housing 1, and the other end of the second scissor fork 32 is rotatably connected to the second sliding block 122. The third sliding block 131 is rotatably connected to the third scissor fork 33, and the fourth sliding block 132 is rotatably connected to the fourth scissor fork 34. In this embodiment, the first lead screw 123 and the second lead screw 133 control the simultaneous opening and closing of the first protective cover 21 and the second protective cover 22. Since the first protective cover 21 and the second protective cover 22 do not drive the first lead screw 123 and the second lead screw 133 to rotate in the opposite direction, when the synchronous belt 61 stops working, the first protective cover 21 and the second protective cover 22 will not drive the first lead screw 123 and the second lead screw 133 to rotate in the opposite direction. The first protective cover 21 and the second protective cover 22 will form a self-locking mechanism, reducing the possibility of slippage or misalignment of the first protective cover 21 and the second protective cover 22.
[0036] In this embodiment, the adjusting bolt 5 is rotatably mounted on the mounting housing 1, and is fixedly connected to the first lead screw 123. The adjusting bolt 5 is designed so that when the synchronous belt 61 is de-energized, the user can turn the touch screen on or off by rotating the adjusting bolt 5.
[0037] In this embodiment, the sealing layer 2111 is disposed on the outer periphery of the first folded piece 211, the second folded piece 212, the third folded piece 221, and the fourth folded piece 222, and the sealing layer 2111 is made of rubber material. The design of the sealing layer 2111 ensures that the first protective cover 21 and the second protective cover 22 are in a sealed state when closed, preventing rainwater from entering and affecting the waterproof effect inside the mounting housing 1.
[0038] In this embodiment, several heat dissipation holes 11 are disposed on the first folding piece 211, the second folding piece 212, the third folding piece 221, and the fourth folding screen. The first folding piece 211, the second folding piece 212, the third folding piece 221, and the fourth folding piece 222 are all made of polycarbonate material. The design of the heat dissipation holes 11 improves the heat dissipation performance of the touchscreen body 4. Using polycarbonate material in the manufacture of the first folding piece 211, the second folding piece 212, the third folding piece 221, and the fourth folding piece 222 not only significantly improves the impact resistance, transparency, and lightweight of the folding pieces, but also ensures that they maintain good performance and a long service life under various challenges such as temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation, and chemical environments.
[0039] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: When the touch screen body 4 needs to be used, the timing belt 61 is activated, which drives the first lead screw 123 and the second lead screw 133 to rotate. The first sliding block 121 and the second sliding block 122 move apart, and the third sliding block 131 and the fourth sliding block 132 move apart. Through the first scissor bar 31, the second scissor bar 32, the third scissor bar 33 and the fourth scissor bar 34, the first folding piece 211 and the second folding piece 212 fold together, and the third folding piece 221 and the fourth folding piece 222 fold together, thus completing the opening operation of the touch screen body 4. When the touch screen body 4 is finished being used, the timing belt 61 is activated in reverse, which drives the first folding piece 211 and the second folding piece 212 to move apart, and the third folding piece 221 and the fourth folding piece 222 to move apart, thus completing the closing operation of the touch screen.
[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
