Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of automotive parts, and in particular relates to a protective cover for display screen protection. Background Technology

[0002] Existing display screen protective cases consist of a protective film and an outer frame. The outer frame completely covers the sides of the display screen and extends to the back, providing six-dimensional positioning and fixation. During operation, the protective case is slipped onto the display screen from the front. However, the portion of the outer frame extending to the back of the display screen forms an opening smaller than the screen's dimensions. This presents challenges: firstly, the frame needs to be made of elastic material to allow for deformation during assembly and subsequent return to its original position; secondly, the small opening makes fitting the case difficult, as insufficient elasticity can prevent it from fitting properly, or the small opening can cause it to easily fall off. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a protective sleeve that aims to solve the problem of assembly difficulties caused by the small outer frame diameter of existing protective sleeves.

[0004] This application provides a protective cover for protecting a display screen. The display screen is placed vertically. The protective cover includes a protective film and a frame covering the periphery of the protective film. The frame encloses and forms a fixing cavity for the display screen to be placed in.

[0005] The frame has clearance holes at the part that connects to the lower edge of the protective film, allowing the display screen to pass through and enter the fixing cavity.

[0006] Optionally, the frame includes a fixing frame that connects to the periphery of the protective film and extends outward, and a limiting frame that connects to the fixing frame and extends towards the display screen. The fixing frame is used to fix the protective film, and the limiting frame encloses and forms a fixing cavity. An avoidance hole is opened in the limiting frame.

[0007] Optionally, the fixing frame can completely cover the periphery of the protective film.

[0008] Optionally, the surface of the fixing frame facing the fixing cavity has an assembly groove for inserting a protective film.

[0009] Optionally, a limiting strip is provided on the surface of the fixing frame facing the fixing cavity. The inner side of the limiting strip encloses and forms an assembly groove, and the outer side of the limiting strip forms a deformation cavity with the limiting frame.

[0010] Optionally, the limiting frame extends inward from the edge away from the protective film to restrict the display from leaving the mounting cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting frame is composed of a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame connected in sequence, and the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame form the three side walls of the fixed cavity.

[0012] Optionally, the first, second, and third bezels each include a straight section and a chamfered section, with the straight section extending inward from the edge of the protective film to restrict the display from leaving the mounting cavity.

[0013] Optional, the protective film is tempered glass.

[0014] Optionally, the frame is made of ABS plastic.

[0015] The protective sleeve provided in this application allows the display screen to enter the mounting cavity through clearance holes. Compared to solutions where the protective sleeve is fitted from the front of the display screen, this solution avoids the assembly difficulties caused by the small diameter of the protective sleeve frame, and the material of the frame is not limited by the assembly operation. The protective sleeve provided in this application meets the protection requirements of vehicle-mounted displays, and has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0027] Furthermore, in the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The protective cover provided in this application will now be described by way of example. The protective cover is used to protect the display screen. In this embodiment, the display screen is a vehicle-mounted display screen, specifically a display screen located on the center console. The display screen is vertically positioned; vertical positioning can be perpendicular to the ground or slightly tilted to the ground. It should be noted that the protective cover of this solution is an improvement for vertically positioned display screens, but this solution can also be applied to horizontally positioned display screens. Therefore, in this application, vertical positioning and up / down orientation are only descriptions for reference to the normal use state of the product and should not be considered restrictive.

[0029] In this application, the protective cover includes a protective film 10 and a frame 20 covering the periphery of the protective film 10. The frame 20 forms a fixing cavity 101 for the display screen to be inserted. The frame 20 has a clearance hole 102 at the part connected to the lower edge of the protective film 10 for the display screen to pass through and enter the fixing cavity 101.

[0030] For ease of description, the display surface of the screen is defined as the front. During assembly, the protective cover is moved above the screen, with the clearance hole 102 of the protective cover facing forward and the protective film 10 in front. Then, the clearance hole 102 of the protective cover is aligned with the screen, and the cover is inserted downwards into the screen until the protective cover abuts against the upper surface of the screen, completing the assembly.

[0031] As described above, the protective sleeve provided in this embodiment has a clearance hole 102 at its lower end, allowing the display screen to enter the fixing cavity 101 through the clearance hole 102. Compared to the solution where the protective sleeve is fitted from the front of the display screen, this solution avoids the assembly difficulties caused by the small diameter of the protective sleeve's outer frame. The material of the frame 20 is also not limited by the assembly operation and can be made of flexible or rigid materials. Furthermore, for applications suitable for in-vehicle center console displays, although the clearance hole 102 of the protective sleeve does not limit the lower part of the display screen, considering the in-vehicle environment, the protective sleeve is mainly subjected to downward gravity after assembly, and upward force is only applied under bumpy conditions. Under bumpy conditions, the friction between its side and the display screen can also provide resistance to upward movement. Therefore, this solution can meet the protection requirements of in-vehicle displays, and its structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0032] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The frame 20 includes a fixing frame 21 that connects to the periphery of the protective film 10 and extends outward, and a limiting frame 22 that connects to the fixing frame 21 and extends towards the display screen. The fixing frame 21 is used to fix the protective film 10, and the limiting frame 22 encloses and forms a fixing cavity 101. An avoidance hole 102 is opened in the limiting frame 22.

[0033] The fixing frame 21 connects to the protective film 10 and covers the edge portion of the front surface of the display screen around the screen. The limiting frame 22 covers the side of the display screen and extends to the rear surface of the display screen to limit the downward, left-right, and forward-backward movement of the protective cover.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The fixing frame 21 completely covers the periphery of the protective film 10. The fixing frame 21 is a rectangular frame. In other embodiments, the fixing frame 21 can also be a door-shaped frame. The rectangular frame can ensure structural integrity, improve the overall aesthetic effect, and at the same time ensure structural strength, while restraining the limiting frames 22 on both sides.

[0035] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fixing frame 21 has an assembly groove 104 on its surface facing the fixing cavity 101 for inserting the protective film 10. The assembly groove 104 positions the protective film 10 for quick assembly by the operator. The protective film 10 can be fixed to the fixing frame 21 by adhesive. In this case, the outer wall and / or bottom of the assembly groove 104 can be coated with adhesive to fix it to the protective film 10.

[0036] In another embodiment of the application, please refer to Figure 5 or Figure 6A limiting strip 211 protrudes from the surface of the fixing frame 21 facing the fixing cavity 101. The inner side of the limiting strip 211 encloses and forms an assembly groove 104, and the outer side of the limiting strip forms a deformation cavity 103 between it and the limiting frame 22.

[0037] As described below, the fixing frame 21 extends inward from the edge opposite to the protective film 10 to prevent the display screen from leaving the fixing cavity 101. The frame 20 is made of ABS material and has a certain degree of elasticity. Please refer to... Figure 6 The end of the fixing frame 21 facing away from the protective film 10 is bent inward. To improve the fastening effect after the protective sleeve is assembled, the bent position presses against the display screen. Under the reaction force of the display screen, the fixing frame 21 undergoes a certain elastic deformation, thereby increasing the static friction between the display screen and the protective sleeve. The deformation cavity 103 provides stress release space for the deformation of the fixing frame 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 22 extends inward from the edge away from the protective film 10 to restrict the display screen from leaving the fixing cavity 101. Figure 3 In the structure shown, the end of the fixing frame 21 facing away from the protective film 10 bends inward and extends to press against the display screen, restricting the display screen from leaving the fixing cavity 101. It should be noted that the inwardly extending limiting structure can be a partial protrusion or a strip. It can extend a short section along the edge of the limiting frame 22, or the limiting structure can be provided along the entire edge of the limiting frame 22; no limitation is made here.

[0039] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 22 is composed of a first side frame, a second side frame, and a third side frame connected in sequence, forming the three side walls of the fixing cavity 101. Referring to the previous directional definition, the second side frame is the upper side frame, and the first and third side frames are the left and right side frames. In other words, the limiting frame 22 has no lower side frame. In other embodiments, a lower side frame can be provided, and clearance holes 102 can be formed on the lower side frame.

[0040] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The first frame, the second frame and the third frame each include a straight section 221 and a chamfered section 222. The straight section 221 extends inward away from the edge of the protective film 10 to limit the display screen from leaving the fixing cavity 101. Figure 3 In the structure shown, only the straight section 221 bends inward, while the chamfered section 222 remains essentially horizontal and does not bend inward. This design reduces the pressure on the display screen at the chamfer, thus helping to ensure that the display screen remains in contact with the second frame, which in turn helps the protective cover maintain a secure fit with the display screen in bumpy driving conditions.

[0041] In this embodiment, the protective film 10 is a tempered glass film. In other embodiments, it can also be a soft film, such as a blue light blocking film or a privacy screen protector, etc., and is not limited to this specific embodiment.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fixing frame 21 and the limiting frame 22 are integrally injection molded from ABS plastic.

[0043] ABS has excellent impact resistance, can be used in temperatures ranging from -40 to 100°C, exhibits good weather resistance, and maintains good toughness. In other embodiments, the frame 20 may also be made of silicone or other materials, and this is not a limiting factor.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
