Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display screen protection technology, and more particularly to a protective structure for a laptop computer display screen. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of full-screen laptops, the traditional B-shell structure has been eliminated, and edge protection of the display mainly relies on the built-in cushioning structure in the A-shell. Specifically, by adding cushioning materials such as soft rubber inside the A-shell, the screen is wrapped and protected around its perimeter to reduce the risk of the screen breaking when subjected to external impacts.

[0003] During assembly, the buffer structure needs to be fixed to the A-shell before the display screen is installed. However, improper operation during assembly can easily cause the edge of the display screen to collide with the A-shell, resulting in damage to the display screen. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a protective structure for a laptop screen to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the buffer structure and the screen are installed sequentially with the A-shell, resulting in easy damage to the edge of the screen.

[0005] This application provides a display assembly including a display screen, a buffer, and a housing. The buffer covers the outer frame of the display screen to form an integral display assembly with the display screen. The housing forms a receiving cavity, and the display assembly is assembled in the receiving cavity such that the buffer abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity.

[0006] In one possible embodiment, the buffer can be fixed to the outer frame by adhesive, magnetic attraction, or snap-fit.

[0007] In one possible embodiment, the buffer includes:

[0008] The first buffer section extends in a direction perpendicular to the display screen;

[0009] The second buffer section extends in a direction parallel to the display screen and is integrally formed with the first buffer section;

[0010] The first buffer portion and the second buffer portion together define an L-shaped cross-section limiting groove, and the outer frame is embedded in the limiting groove.

[0011] In one possible embodiment, the height of the limiting groove is adapted to the thickness of the display screen.

[0012] In one possible embodiment, the first buffer portion has an abutment portion at one end away from the second buffer portion, and one end of the abutment portion extends horizontally outward to form a first extension portion, which abuts against the housing.

[0013] In one possible embodiment, the first extension extends downward toward the housing on the side opposite to the first buffer portion.

[0014] In one possible embodiment, the end of the abutting portion opposite to the first extended portion extends horizontally outward to form a second extended portion, and the second extended portion abuts against the outer frame.

[0015] In one possible embodiment, the second extension extends downward at an angle toward the outer frame on the side opposite to the first buffer portion.

[0016] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] This application forms a display assembly by pre-covering a buffer element onto the outer frame of the display screen. During assembly, the entire display assembly is inserted into the receiving cavity of the housing, ensuring that the outer side of the buffer element is in close contact with the inner wall of the housing. Because the buffer element is wrapped around the outer frame of the display screen, even if displacement or collision occurs during assembly, the impact force only acts on the buffer element and is not directly transmitted to the display screen, thus protecting the display screen.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0030] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in this text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the laptop screen protector structure during use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the laptop screen protector structure in the figure undergoes a position flip, orientation change, or movement change, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The laptop screen protector structure may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in this text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0031] To address the technical problem in existing technologies where the buffer structure and display screen are installed sequentially with the A-shell, leading to easy damage to the edge of the display screen, this application provides a protective structure for a laptop computer display screen. By pre-covering the outer frame of the display screen with a buffer component to form an assembly with the display screen, damage to the display screen is avoided during assembly with the shell.

[0032] Figures 1 to 4 A laptop screen protection structure provided in this application includes a screen 101, a buffer 102, and a housing 2. The buffer 102 covers the outer frame 101 of the screen 101 to form an integral screen assembly with the screen. The housing forms a receiving cavity, and the screen assembly is assembled in the receiving cavity such that the buffer abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity.

[0033] In the above technical solution, the buffer 102 is pre-covered on the outer frame 1011 of the display screen 101, forming a protective barrier. It is understood that the buffer 102 and the display screen 101 form a composite assembly, and during assembly, the buffer 102 can form a physical barrier. When the user places the display screen assembly 1 into the receiving cavity 201, if the display screen assembly 1 collides with the housing 1, the impact force only acts on the buffer 102 and is not directly transmitted to the display screen 101, thus protecting the display screen 101. Furthermore, since the buffer 102 and the display screen 101 are a composite assembly, when the display screen 101 is transported, the buffer 102 can also prevent damage to the display screen 101 when it collides with other structures.

[0034] Meanwhile, compared to existing technologies, this application also solves the assembly gap problem between the display screen and the A-shell. Specifically, in existing technologies, a soft rubber or other buffer structure is first placed on the inner wall of the A-shell before the display screen is assembled with the A-shell. This assembly method makes it difficult to control the assembly gap between the soft rubber and the display screen, meaning that there will be inconsistencies in the gap size between different batches of products, resulting in inconsistent product appearance. Moreover, after long-term use, the creep phenomenon of the soft rubber material will further aggravate the widening of the gap, thereby accelerating the degradation of protective performance and posing a threat to the long-term reliability of the display screen. In contrast, this application pre-covers the outer frame of the display screen 101 with the buffer component 102. It can be understood that the display screen 101 of this application has already completed the installation of the buffer component 102 before being assembled with the shell 2. In other words, compared to existing technologies, this application makes it easier to control the assembly gap between the buffer component 102 and the display screen 101, ensuring that the buffer component 102 and the display screen 101 have a zero-gap fit.

[0035] For example, please refer to Figure 3 In one possible embodiment, the buffer 102 is configured as a U-shape. When the buffer 102 is assembled with the display screen 101, the opening of the buffer 102 is aligned with the display screen 101. Its U-shaped structure covers three sides of the display screen 101. Compared with single-sided or double-sided buffering, the U-shaped design disperses the impact force to a larger area through continuous coverage, reducing the force per unit area and improving the impact resistance of the display screen 101.

[0036] It should be noted that the buffer 102 of this application can be fixed to the outer frame 1011 by adhesive, magnetic attraction, or snap-fit. Exemplarily, in one possible embodiment, the buffer 102 is pre-positioned to the outer frame 1011 of the display 101, and then adhesive is applied between the outer frame 1011 and the buffer 102 using a dispensing device. After the adhesive cures, the buffer 102 and the outer frame 1011 form an integrated structure. When the display assembly 1 or the laptop is impacted, the dispensing layer and the buffer 102 work together to absorb and disperse energy, protecting the edges of the display 101. Compared to traditional fixing methods (such as snap-fit), which may cause the buffer 102 to loosen due to vibration or impact, the dispensing process achieves permanent fixation through an adhesive layer, improving structural stability.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The buffer 102 includes:

[0038] The first buffer section 1021 extends in a direction perpendicular to the display screen 101;

[0039] The second buffer portion 1022 extends in a direction parallel to the display screen 101 and is integrally formed with the first buffer portion 1021;

[0040] The first buffer portion 1021 and the second buffer portion 1022 together define the L-shaped cross-section limiting groove 1023, and the outer frame 1011 is embedded in the limiting groove 1023.

[0041] The first buffer portion 1021 extends in a direction perpendicular to the display screen 101 (i.e., the screen thickness direction) and is mainly used to absorb pressure from the front of the screen (such as the squeezing when the laptop is closed, or impacts from external objects). The second buffer portion 1022 extends in a direction parallel to the display screen 101 (i.e., the screen plane direction) and is mainly used to resist lateral impacts (such as lateral shearing forces during drops, or frictional collisions during assembly). The limiting groove 1023 formed by the first buffer portion 1021 and the second buffer portion 1022 provides mechanical locking and buffer protection for the formation of the display screen 101, preventing relative displacement between it and the buffer member 102.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the height of the limiting groove 1023 is adapted to the thickness of the display screen 101. It is understood that this adapted size ensures that the outer frame 1011 is fully embedded in the limiting groove 1023 without looseness or excessive tightness. Specifically, if the height of the limiting groove 1023 is greater than the thickness of the display screen 101, it will cause the display screen 101 to wobble within the limiting groove 1023, reducing the cushioning effect and potentially causing displacement and collision upon impact. If the height of the limiting groove 1023 is less than the thickness of the display screen 101, it must be forcibly pressed into the display screen 101 during assembly, which may cause pressure damage to the edges of the display screen 101.

[0043] In one possible embodiment, the first buffer portion 1021 has an abutment portion at one end away from the second buffer portion 1022, and one end of the abutment portion extends horizontally outward to form a first extension portion 1024, which abuts against the housing 2. During assembly, the first buffer portion 1021 is initially positioned against the housing 2 via the abutment portion, and the first extension portion 1024 abuts against the surface of the housing 2, ensuring stable assembly of the display assembly 1 and the housing 2. During use, when the laptop is subjected to a vertical impact (such as a drop), the first buffer portion 1021 deforms to absorb the impact force. The first extension portion 1024 transmits the remaining impact force to the housing 2, dispersing the pressure.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, a second extension 1025 is formed by horizontally extending outward from one end of the abutment portion opposite to the first extension 1024, and the second extension 1025 abuts against the outer frame 1011. The abutment between the second extension 1025 and the outer frame 1011 improves the stability of the display screen 101 and the buffer 102, preventing the display screen 101 from shifting when subjected to external impacts.

[0045] It should be noted that, in one possible embodiment, the first extension 1024 extends downward at an angle toward the housing 2 on the side opposite to the first buffer portion 1021. The second extension 1025 extends downward at an angle toward the outer frame 1011 on the side opposite to the first buffer portion 1021.
