Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of office furniture technology, and in particular relates to a screen structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing screen products on the market have several significant drawbacks in terms of design, cost, and aesthetics. First, aluminum screens use aluminum profiles as a frame with fabric applied to certain areas. However, their reliance on large areas of aluminum profiles leads to high costs, and the frame requires splicing, inevitably resulting in exposed aluminum profiles, excessive splicing lines, and an overall less aesthetically pleasing and streamlined visual effect. Second, iron-framed screens use a pre-manufactured iron skeleton covered entirely in fabric. The core problem is that molded production prevents flexible customization to user needs. Furthermore, because the iron frame is completely covered in fabric, splicing adjacent screens relies on additional external connectors. These connectors are exposed, affecting aesthetics, and the entire iron frame and fabric covering method is inherently very expensive. More importantly, this type of screen relies on the interaction between the screens and is then secured with external connectors, limiting the possible assembly into conventional rectangular or T-shaped structures, restricting its shape flexibility and making it difficult to achieve diverse splicing designs. Furthermore, fabric panel screens use thick, solid wooden boards as the internal support structure, covered with fabric on the outside, and secured to adjacent units with aluminum profile connecting columns. The main drawback of this design is that the heavy solid wooden boards significantly increase the product's weight and drive up costs, while the exposed aluminum connecting columns often clash with the fabric color, disrupting the overall aesthetic. Additionally, the process of wrapping the solid wooden boards with fabric is relatively cumbersome and complex, requiring a large amount of fabric material, further exacerbating the cost burden. Utility Model Content

[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model

[0004] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a screen structure to solve the technical problem that the existing screen structure cannot simultaneously take into account aesthetics, production efficiency and production cost.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided in this application is as follows:

[0007] A screen structure includes: two fixed plates arranged opposite each other; two screen fabric layers covering the outer side and edges of the fixed plates; a plurality of fixed beams disposed between the two fixed plates and connected end to end to surround the four sides of the two fixed plates; each fixed beam is connected to the two fixed plates on both sides; wherein a sealing groove is formed between each fixed beam and the edge of the fixed plate at a predetermined distance; and further includes: a sealing member embedded in the sealing groove and extending along the length direction of the sealing groove; and a fixing member disposed in the sealing groove and connected to the outside.

[0008] This embodiment uses a screen fabric layer to cover the outer surface and edges of two fixed plates, and then uses edge banding to seal the edges in the edge banding groove to conceal the internal fixed beams. This design achieves the appearance effect of fabric screens on the market. The overall fabric coverage makes the structure more unified and aesthetically pleasing. The exterior is not completely covered by fabric, so the fixing components can be set in the edge banding groove, eliminating the need for connectors and effectively solving the problem of exposed connectors. This maintains a uniform and simple appearance. During production, only the screen fabric layer needs to be pressed onto the fixed plates simultaneously, without the need to wrap the entire frame with fabric later, significantly improving production efficiency. In addition, the screen frame can utilize waste wood boards and nail them to the fixed beams to form a certain thickness, achieving waste utilization and reaching the optimal cost solution, enhancing product competitiveness. The hollow structure design inside the screen effectively reduces the overall weight, achieving the goal of lightweighting. Since the two fixed plates cannot be guaranteed to be completely precise during processing, there may be slight height differences. The slotting can reduce the visual height difference and ensure the aesthetic appearance.

[0009] In some embodiments, the edges of the two fixing plates are flush;

[0010] The double-fixed panel flush edge design is specifically designed for multi-workstation center splicing areas. After splicing, the four-way connecting columns are completely covered, forming a visually cohesive "column-free" structure with a seamless transition at the center point, eliminating the structural discontinuity of traditional solutions. Furthermore, this screen structure is standardized, significantly reducing the number of SKUs and simultaneously solving three core problems: eliminating directional restrictions on components, avoiding inventory backlog and mixed production materials, and simplifying the sales ordering process. During installation, it supports blind installation mode, further improving work efficiency and optimizing inventory management.

[0011] In some embodiments, it further includes: a connecting post for fastener connection, wherein the connecting post is fitted with a post fabric layer of the same color as the screen fabric layer;

[0012] By setting a column fabric layer with the same color as the screen fabric layer and overlaying it on the connecting column, the overall color of the screen and the connecting column can be unified and coordinated, effectively improving the consistency and aesthetics of the product appearance, reducing the visual sense of disjointedness, thereby enhancing the user experience and meeting the needs of modern decoration for simple and integrated design, and adapting to asymmetrical scenarios such as corners and end workstations.

[0013] In some embodiments, the two side edges of one fixing plate are longer than the two side edges of the other fixing plate;

[0014] The innovative design of extending the edge of the single-sided fixed plate can form an "L"-shaped covering structure, which can directionally cover the exposed surface of the side connecting column. It is suitable for corner and end workstations or can be spliced ​​into asymmetrical scene areas such as placing single sofas. It is especially suitable for edge workstation combinations in open office spaces.

[0015] In some embodiments, the edge banding has a U-shaped or rectangular cross-section and is pressed and covered on the edge of the screen fabric layer;

[0016] The U-shaped or rectangular edge-sealing components generate radial clamping force, ensuring that the edges of the screen fabric are evenly stressed. This eliminates the edge curling defect of traditional adhesive-bonded fabric, prevents fabric displacement caused by external pulling, and extends service life.

[0017] In some embodiments, the top corners of the fixing plate are rounded.

[0018] The R5-R8 rounded corner structure eliminates the defects of right-angle fabric wrapping at the source: it completely solves the problems of "triangular wrinkles" and fabric tearing caused by stress concentration, increases the fit of the fabric, and the rounded corner design can reduce collision damage. The streamlined contour also enhances the aesthetic value, making it especially suitable for high-end office environments.

[0019] In some embodiments, the connecting column is provided with a mating member having a slot, and the fixing member is bent downward to form a buckle that engages with the slot.

[0020] In some embodiments, the edge banding is made of stainless steel;

[0021] Stainless steel edge banding achieves a dual upgrade in performance and aesthetics: high hardness enhances resistance to deformation and extends service life; stainless steel has a more textured feel and exquisite details, which can improve the product's grade, make it more modern, and fit the trend of sustainable office design.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0034] The screen structure 1 provided by this utility model is innovative primarily in the reconstruction of the connection system, including: two rectangular fixing plates 101 placed parallel to each other, with the outer sides of the plates fully covered by a screen fabric layer (preferably fire-retardant knitted fabric). The key improvement lies in the layout of the four sets of fixing beams 102—the fixing beams 102 are spliced ​​end-to-end between the two fixing plates 101 to form a rectangular frame, with each beam secured to the fixing plate 101 on both sides by glue or nails. Notably, the inward-sloping design of the fixing beams 102 forms a core technical feature: each beam maintains a 5mm gap from the edge of the fixing plate 101, thereby forming a continuous edge-sealing groove 103 around the four sides. This groove has a dual function: firstly, to accommodate the edge-sealing component 4; and secondly, to install and conceal the fixing component 5 (the edge-sealing component 4 is either hollowed out at the location where the fixing component 5 is concealed, or the side where the fixing component 5 is installed is not edge-sealed).

[0035] Specifically, the edge banding component 4 can have various structures, such as a U-shaped structure with the notch facing downwards, or a rectangular structure. During installation, it is tapped into the edge banding groove 103 using a rubber mallet. The sidewall of the edge banding component 4 generates radial pressure to press the edge of the fabric layer, ensuring that the edge of the fabric layer is continuously pressed against the side of the fixing plate 101, thus completely solving the problem of peeling up of the adhesive-bonded fabric.

[0036] Specifically, the height of the edge banding component 4 can be the same as or slightly lower than the depth of the edge banding groove 103. When the height of the edge banding component 4 is lower than the depth of the edge banding groove 103, even if there is a slight difference in height between the two opposing fixed plates 101, the resulting visual difference can be effectively reduced or even eliminated, making the surface look flatter and more uniform.

[0037] Specifically, the edge banding component 4 has been upgraded to brushed stainless steel (surface roughness Ra0.4μm). Compared to plastic or aluminum alloy solutions, stainless steel offers HRB80 hardness, and the brushed texture enhances the sense of light and shadow.

[0038] Specifically, the fixing plate 101 and the fixing beam 102 are usually made from surplus scrap wood boards, and the production process uses glue or nails to quickly fix them, resulting in low overall production costs.

[0039] The thickness of the fixing plate 101 is approximately 9cm. When combined with the fixing beam 102, it can form a thickness of 15-25cm, which provides a stable support structure. The factory can select the corresponding size of the fixing plate 101 according to the customer's needs for production, and the size of the screen structure 1 can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0040] Specifically, the screen fabric is attached to the fixing plate 101 by pressing.

[0041] Specifically, multiple workstation areas can be created by splicing together multiple screen structures 1, and desktops 6 are placed in the workstation areas, with the width of the desktops 6 being the same as that of the screen structures 1.

[0042] The screen structure 1 is spliced ​​together by connecting columns 2, and different shapes can be spliced ​​together, such as: rectangle, T-shape, V-shape, etc.

[0043] The screen structure of this application has three embodiments:

[0044] First embodiment: The design of flush edges on the fixing plate 101 is optimized for multi-workstation center splicing scenarios. Specifically, the two fixing plates 101 are of identical size, with strictly aligned edges, forming a symmetrical edge-sealing structure. During installation, when the four screens are spliced ​​around the central connecting column 2, the connecting column 2 can be completely obscured in all directions, creating a visually cohesive "column-free" appearance. Notably, this design eliminates the drawback of traditional solutions that require distinguishing between multiple directional screens (front, back, left, right), achieving efficient splicing with only a single model of screen. This not only significantly simplifies the installation process (reducing the installation error rate by 90%) but also greatly reduces the variety of inventory, avoiding production mix-ups and stockpiling issues. More importantly, in application, it is particularly suitable for the core areas of open-plan offices, such as conference tables or multi-person collaborative workstations, ensuring a seamless visual transition and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the space. It supports blind installation, which directly reduces labor hours and training costs.

[0045] The second embodiment: The design of the fabric layer on the connecting column 2 emphasizes the importance of color uniformity and aesthetic harmony. In this part, the connecting column 2 itself is a square tube structure, for example, 40mm×40mm in size. The outer fabric layer is the same color as the screen fabric layer (such as fire-retardant knitted fabric), achieving overall visual consistency. The column fabric layer is cut out at the position of the fastener 5. Through a simple overlay operation, the column fabric layer can naturally blend into the environment after the connecting column 2 is installed, effectively avoiding color clashes and improving the product's adaptability in corners, end workstations, or single sofa areas. Moreover, this solution also solves the aesthetic defects caused by the exposure of aluminum profiles or iron frames in traditional screens—in modern decoration trends, a minimalist and integrated style has become mainstream, and the color-matched fabric layer makes the connecting column 2 visually "disappear," thereby enhancing the user experience and spatial harmony. In terms of additional details, the column fabric layers can also be fixed using a pressing process, similar to the process of attaching the screen fabric layers to the fixing plate 101. This not only ensures efficient production (avoiding manual wrapping later) but also reduces material waste (scrap materials can be used for cutting), resulting in significant cost optimization. In terms of application scenarios, the uniform fabric color eliminates directional restrictions, eliminating the need for users to distinguish installation locations and simplifying sales ordering and warehouse management.

[0046] The third embodiment features an asymmetrical design at the edges of the fixing plate 101, where one plate's edges are longer than the other's. This design specifically addresses the unique needs of corner or edge workstations. One edge of the fixing plate 101 can extend outward by approximately 8mm, forming an "L"-shaped covering structure, while the other edges maintain their conventional length (e.g., consistent with a flush design). During assembly, this differentiated edge design can directionally cover the exposed sides of the connecting column 2. For example, in an L-shaped corner of an open-plan office or a sofa assembly area, the extended portion naturally acts as a barrier, seamlessly connecting with adjacent screens. This not only effectively conceals structural weaknesses but also avoids the exposure issues of traditional connectors. More importantly, this design is highly adaptable, requiring no additional steps—simply selecting and cutting larger plates is sufficient.

[0047] Preferably, this application further optimizes the fixing plate 101: the four top corners adopt R6 rounded corners (6mm radius). This design effectively avoids two traditional defects: first, when covering fabric at right angles, triangular wrinkles are easily formed at the corners; second, sharp corners are easy to scratch the covering fabric and cause tearing. The rounded corner structure allows the fabric layer to naturally extend and cover, and the fit reaches more than 99% after 3D hot pressing. At the same time, the rounded corners can reduce the risk of collision.

[0048] Specifically, the connecting column 2 is welded with a mating part 3 (groove width 3mm) with a slot 301, and the end of the fixing part 5 is bent downward to form a hook 501. Installation requires only two steps: first, bolt the fixing part 5 into the edge-sealing groove 103; then push the screen towards the connecting column 2 so that the hook 501 engages with the slot 301 to complete the locking. Disassembly is simple: just lift the screen to separate it, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, the buckle needs to protrude from the edge sealing groove 103 to be inserted into the buckle groove 301. Therefore, the buckle is set to be tilted outward at 15°. The buckle groove 301 of the mating part 3 forms a 15° angle with the horizontal plane and cooperates with the buckle for insertion.

[0050] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
