[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, its main features are:

[0015] By designing the shell as a combination of a frame and a back panel, and with the frame having a broken structure, extrusion molding and bending processes can replace stamping. Furthermore, due to the presence of the broken structure, during the actual manufacturing and assembly process, workers can expand the frame within a certain range, then insert the back panel into the slot, and finally connect the two ends of the broken structure to fix the back panel to the frame, thus assembling the shell. In this way, the manufacturing process of this application can greatly reduce manufacturing costs.

[0028] 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 the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a shell structure that can reduce manufacturing costs, including a shell body 10. The shell body 10 includes a frame 11 and a back plate 12. The frame 11 has a slot 111. The sides of the back plate 12 are inserted into the slot 111 and connected to the frame 11. The frame 11 is integrally formed and has elasticity. The frame 11 has a break 112. The two ends of the break 112 are connected by a connecting structure.

[0031] By designing the outer shell as a combination of a frame 11 and a back panel 12, and by designing the frame 11 as a structure with a break 112, the stamping method can be replaced by extrusion molding and bending processes. Furthermore, due to the presence of the break 112, during the actual manufacturing and assembly process, workers can expand the frame 11 within a certain range, then insert the back panel 12 into the slot 111, and finally connect the two ends of the break 112 to fix the back panel 12 onto the frame 11 to assemble the outer shell. Thus, through the structure of this application, the corresponding manufacturing process can greatly reduce manufacturing costs.

[0032] Furthermore, the frame 11 is provided with a connector 13, and the two ends of the connector 13 are respectively connected to the two ends of the break 112 by screws (not shown in the figure). The connector 13 is the aforementioned connection structure. Of course, in some other embodiments, the connection structure can also be formed by other means, such as snap-fit ​​or welding.

[0033] Furthermore, the break 112 is located near the corner of the frame 11. Setting the break 112 at the corner reduces the assembly stress compared to setting the break 112 at the center of the frame 11, making it easier to open the frame 11 and snap it into the back plate 12.

[0034] This utility model embodiment also provides a flexible screen that can reduce manufacturing costs, including a screen body 20. The screen body 20 includes the aforementioned shell structure that can reduce manufacturing costs. It should be noted that the screen body 20 usually mainly includes a liquid crystal screen assembly 21. In practice, we need to install the liquid crystal screen assembly 21 in the shell body 10.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a base 30 and a support column 31 disposed on the base 30, wherein the screen body 20 is detachably disposed on the upper end of the support column 31.

[0036] Furthermore, the base 30 is equipped with a battery (not shown in the figure) and a first electrical module (not shown in the figure). The battery is electrically connected to the first electrical module, and the first electrical module is electrically connected to the screen body 20 through a wire. The wire is hidden inside the support column 31. The layout of integrating the battery and the first electrical module inside the base 30 lowers the overall center of gravity of the device, significantly reducing the risk of tipping over caused by the screen body 20.

[0037] Furthermore, the base 30 is equipped with casters 32 at the four corners of its bottom. With the casters 32, users can move the product to any scene for convenient use.

[0038] Furthermore, the support column 31 is a height-adjustable support column 31, so that the height of the product can be adjusted as needed for convenient use.

[0039] Furthermore, the screen body 20 also includes a liquid crystal display assembly 21 and a second electrical module 22. The liquid crystal display assembly 21 is disposed inside the outer casing 10, and the second module is disposed on the back of the outer casing 10 and covered by a protective shell 23. The protective shell 23 has multiple heat dissipation holes 24, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the protective shell 23. The diameter of each heat dissipation hole 24 gradually decreases from two points on the center line of the distribution area outwards, which can guide the airflow speed to increase and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
