Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display device. Background Technology
[0002] With the upgrading of consumer demand and the continuous development of technology, users have higher and higher requirements for display devices, and the quality of sound output has gradually become an important factor affecting user experience.
[0003] Taking television as an example, related technologies typically include front-emitting or bottom-emitting sound. Front-emitting sound refers to a sound grille of a certain width installed on the front of the television, using the grille to project sound. This method not only occupies space on the front bezel of the television but also affects the visual effect. Bottom-emitting sound refers to a sound hole located on the bottom of the television, allowing sound to emanate from below. However, this method results in the sound output direction being different from the television screen, reducing the sound output rate and affecting the sound quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application discloses a display device that provides a rotating sound output method, which can improve the sound output effect while reducing the impact on the appearance of the display device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of this application disclose a display device, including:
[0006] The display body has a display surface and forms an installation space with an opening located on the side of the display body. The display body has a first sidewall and a second sidewall spaced apart along a first direction, and the opening is defined between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
[0007] A sound-emitting component, connected to the display body, the sound-emitting component having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a sound outlet, and the sound-emitting component having a first state and a second state; and...
[0008] A drive mechanism connected to the sound output component, the drive mechanism being configured to drive the sound output component to rotate, thereby switching the sound output component between a first state and a second state;
[0009] In the first state, the first surface abuts against the first sidewall, and at least a portion of the sound-emitting component is housed within the mounting space, so that the sound-emitting hole is hidden within the mounting space;
[0010] In the second state, the sound-emitting component extends out of the mounting space so that the sound-emitting hole is exposed relative to the mounting space, the sound-emitting direction of the sound-emitting hole is the same as that of the display surface, and the second surface abuts against the second sidewall;
[0011] Wherein, the first direction is the thickness direction of the display device.
[0012] The display device provided in this application drives a sound-emitting component to rotate via a drive mechanism, switching the component between a first state and a second state. When sound is needed, the sound-emitting component extends out of the mounting space under the drive of the mechanism, exposing the sound hole and aligning the sound output direction with the display surface, i.e., towards the front. The sound is directed directly towards the user, reducing reflections from the desktop or wall, and providing a wider sound output space, thereby improving the sound output rate and resulting in better sound quality. When sound is not needed, the sound-emitting component can rotate under the drive of the mechanism to be housed within the mounting space, concealing the sound hole and thus not occupying space on the side of the display unit. In this way, the sound-emitting component not only outputs sound from the front of the display unit but can also be hidden when not in use, minimizing its presence and reducing its impact on the appearance of the display device.
[0013] Furthermore, since the first surface of the sound-emitting component abuts against the first sidewall in the first state (i.e., when the sound-emitting component is housed in the installation space), and the second surface abuts against the second sidewall in the second state (i.e., when the sound-emitting component extends out of the installation space), the front and rear sidewalls defining the opening provide abutment and limit for the sound-emitting component when switching between the first and second states. This ensures that the sound-emitting component rotates into position and provides stable support. Utilizing the first and second sidewalls of the display body itself, which define the opening, as rotation stops for the sound-emitting component means that the first and second sidewalls are structurally reused without the need for additional stop structures. This simplifies the overall structural design of the display device. For example, with this configuration, the drive mechanism only needs to rotate to a preset angle, and the positioning is completed by the natural blocking effect of the first and second sidewalls, thus reducing control complexity.
[0014] As an optional implementation, the display body includes:
[0015] Display panel, the display panel having the display surface;
[0016] A backlight module, wherein the backlight module is disposed on the side of the display panel opposite to the display surface;
[0017] A front frame, located on the outer periphery of the backlight module and the display panel, wherein both the display panel and the backlight module are connected to the front frame;
[0018] The rear cover is located on the side of the backlight module away from the display panel, the rear cover is connected to the front frame, and the mounting space is formed between the rear cover and the backlight module;
[0019] The front frame has a first sidewall, the rear shell has a second sidewall, the rear shell and the front frame together form the opening, and the drive mechanism is disposed in the installation space and connected to the rear shell.
[0020] By utilizing the redundant area between the backlight module and the rear shell as the installation space for the sound output component, the thickness of the display body is not increased, which is more conducive to the structural compactness of the sound output component and the display body.
[0021] Furthermore, by separating the sound output component from the various parts of the display unit, compared to the related technology where the speaker and display unit are integrated and require disassembly of the entire unit for maintenance, the sound output component in this application is more conducive to maintenance and replacement.
[0022] As an optional implementation, the sound output component includes:
[0023] Housing, the housing comprising:
[0024] A bottom panel extending along a second direction;
[0025] A front panel is disposed on the side of the bottom panel near the display panel. The front panel has a first surface. In the second state, the front panel is disposed parallel to the display surface.
[0026] The rear panel is disposed on the side of the bottom panel near the rear shell, and a receiving cavity is formed between the rear panel, the bottom panel and the front panel. The rear panel has a second surface and is connected to the driving mechanism to rotate under the driving action of the driving mechanism to drive the shell to rotate.
[0027] A loudspeaker, wherein the loudspeaker is disposed in the receiving cavity and is configured corresponding to the sound outlet;
[0028] The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0029] If the sound output direction is forward, but deviates from the display surface (e.g., downwards by 30°), the user will perceive the sound as coming from below, disconnected from the screen. Therefore, in the second state, the sound output component of this application has its front panel parallel to the display surface. That is, when the sound output component is rotated out of the mounting space to expose the sound outlet, the front panel of the housing is parallel to the display surface. Since the front panel has a sound outlet, the sound output direction is parallel to the first direction, thus ensuring that the orientation of the sound outlet is consistent with the direction of the display surface. In this way, the sound emitted by the speaker can be directly and horizontally transmitted to the user through the sound outlet, avoiding sound loss caused by reflection from walls or desktops, thereby maintaining sound clarity and better ensuring the synchronization between the sound source and the displayed content.
[0030] Furthermore, since the speaker is housed in the housing, the housing is designed to form a cavity with the bottom panel and the front and rear panels together. This design allows for sufficient installation space for the speaker, provided that the front panel abuts against the first side wall as a rotation stop in the first state and the rear panel abuts against the second side wall as a rotation stop in the second state.
[0031] As an optional implementation, the front panel and the rear panel are arranged parallel to each other, and the bottom panel is arranged at an angle relative to the front panel and the rear panel, such that the angle between the bottom panel and the front panel is an acute angle, and the angle between the bottom panel and the rear panel is an obtuse angle;
[0032] In the first state, the bottom panel is located outside the mounting space and parallel to the side of the front frame, while the front panel portion is located within the mounting space, such that the first surface abuts against the first side wall.
[0033] By setting the front panel and the rear panel parallel, since the front panel is parallel to the display surface in the second state, and the rear panel is also parallel to the display surface in the second state, the housing of the sound output component is more regular. This reduces the impact on the appearance of the display device even when the sound output component is rotated to the second state and exposed outside the installation space.
[0034] To ensure that the first surface of the front panel of the speaker assembly can abut against the first sidewall for restraint in the first state, the bottom panel needs to be located outside the mounting space. However, if the bottom panel is vertically connected between the front and rear panels, the bottom panel will be tilted relative to the side of the front frame in the second state, resulting in a large area of the speaker assembly being exposed, which is visually obtrusive. Therefore, this application sets the bottom panel at an angle relative to the front and rear panels, making the angle between the bottom panel and the front panel acute and the angle between the bottom panel and the rear panel obtuse. This ensures that when the speaker assembly is rotated to the first state, the bottom panel is parallel to the side of the front frame. This further reduces the visual impact of the speaker assembly when it is housed in the mounting space, minimizing its presence and ensuring a pleasing appearance for the display device.
[0035] As an alternative implementation, the front frame is provided with a first notch, and the first sidewall is configured to enclose the portion forming the first notch. In the first state, the front panel is located at the notch so that the first surface abuts against the first sidewall.
[0036] With this configuration, in the first state, part of the sound output component extends into the space of the front frame. Without changing the size of the existing components, the space on the front frame is used to accommodate part of the sound output component. This can compress the thickness space of the display device, reduce the thickness of the display device, make the display device thinner overall, and make the layout of the internal structure of the display device more compact, thereby improving the space utilization rate.
[0037] As an optional implementation, the rear panel has a third side opposite to the second side, and the rear panel is provided with a first notch extending from the second side through the third side;
[0038] The drive mechanism includes:
[0039] A driving component, which is fixed to the rear shell and is located at the first notch;
[0040] A first rotating assembly is connected to the driving component, and the end of the first rotating assembly is fixed to the third surface.
[0041] By creating a notch on the rear panel and placing the drive component therein, the space occupied by the drive mechanism in the second direction can be reduced, resulting in a more compact layout of the sound output assembly and the drive mechanism. Simultaneously, fixing the first rotating assembly to the third side of the rear panel, meaning part of the first rotating shaft component is located within the receiving cavity, reduces the space occupied by the drive mechanism in the first direction while maintaining its original size. This allows for the installation of both the drive mechanism and the sound output assembly within a smaller space, resulting in a smaller overall size and promoting a thinner and lighter display device. Furthermore, fixing the first rotating assembly to the third side ensures that the rotation axis is at a certain distance from the second sidewall. Compared to having the rotation axis on or closer to the second sidewall, this allows the sound output assembly to rotate to its designated position with a smaller preset angle while maintaining the same distance between the first and second sidewalls, thus improving the rotation efficiency of the sound output assembly. If the first rotating component is fixed to the top or second side of the rear panel, to ensure that the second side fits snugly against the second sidewall, a space needs to be provided on the second sidewall to accommodate the first rotating component, which would inevitably increase the structural complexity of the rear shell. Therefore, the arrangement of the first rotating component using the method described in this application is much simpler.
[0042] As an optional implementation, the first rotating component includes:
[0043] A transmission component, one end of which is connected to the driving component, and the transmission component moves under the driving action of the driving component;
[0044] A rotating shaft is connected to the other end of the transmission component, and the rotating shaft rotates under the drive of the transmission component;
[0045] A first fixing seat is located on one side of the first notch and fixed to the third surface; one end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the first fixing seat.
[0046] The second fixing seat is located on the other side of the first notch and is fixed to the third surface, and the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the second fixing seat.
[0047] Since both ends of the shaft are fixed to the fixed seats, the connection between the transmission component and the shaft is located between the two ends of the shaft. The two ends of the shaft are fixed to the first fixed seat and the second fixed seat respectively to form a rigid support. When the transmission component applies force, the torque is symmetrically distributed along the axial direction, which can reduce torsional stress and thus help reduce the risk of torsional deformation.
[0048] As an alternative implementation, the rear panel has a first end and a second end opposite each other along the second direction, with the drive member and the first rotating assembly located at the first end;
[0049] The driving mechanism further includes a second rotating component located at the second end. The second end is rotatably connected to the rear shell via the second rotating component. The driving member drives the first rotating component to rotate, thereby causing the first end to rotate and thus causing the second end to rotate.
[0050] This configuration allows the first end of the rear panel to rotate under the influence of the first rotating assembly driven by the driving component, while the second end rotates passively via the second rotating assembly. This disperses the force, preventing the rear panel from twisting due to unilateral driving and thus preventing deformation. Furthermore, by having the first end (driving end) and the second end (driven end) jointly bear the weight of the sound output assembly, the reliability of the sound output assembly connection is ensured.
[0051] As an alternative implementation, the mounting space is located at the bottom of the display body, and the opening is located on the lower side of the display body.
[0052] The mounting space for the sound-emitting component is located at the bottom of the display unit. In this second state, after the sound-emitting component rotates out of the mounting space through the opening, it is positioned at the bottom of the TV. This allows sound to propagate forward from the bottom of the TV, directly towards the user for clearer, better sound quality, and a more centered sound output, resulting in better picture quality. The sound also travels more closely to the center of the display surface, ensuring better image alignment. Whether placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall, the sound propagation path remains consistent, providing a stable user experience. Furthermore, placing the sound-emitting component at the bottom minimizes its visual impact, contributing to a cleaner, more streamlined appearance of the display device.
[0053] This application also discloses a display device, including:
[0054] The display body has a display surface and forms an installation space with an opening located on the side of the display body. The display body has a first sidewall and a second sidewall spaced apart along a first direction, and the opening is defined between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
[0055] A sound-emitting component, connected to the display body, the sound-emitting component having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a sound outlet, and the sound-emitting component having a first state and a second state; and...
[0056] A drive mechanism connected to the sound output component, the drive mechanism being configured to drive the sound output component to rotate, thereby switching the sound output component between a first state and a second state;
[0057] The sound-emitting component can be rotated relative to the display body until the first surface extends out of the opening, so that the sound-emitting hole is exposed in the mounting space, and the second surface abuts against the second side wall, so as to be in the second state. In the second state, the sound emission direction of the sound-emitting hole is in the same direction as the display surface.
[0058] The sound output component can also be rotated relative to the display body to the second surface away from the second sidewall, so that the sound output hole is hidden in the installation space and the first surface abuts against the first sidewall, so as to be in the first state;
[0059] Wherein, the first direction is the thickness direction of the display device.
[0060] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0061] The display device provided in this application drives a sound-emitting component to rotate via a drive mechanism, switching the component between a first state and a second state. When sound is needed, the sound-emitting component extends out of the mounting space under the drive of the mechanism, exposing the sound hole and aligning the sound output direction with the display surface, i.e., towards the front. The sound is directed directly towards the user, reducing reflections from the desktop or wall, and providing a wider sound output space, thereby improving the sound output rate and resulting in better sound quality. When sound is not needed, the sound-emitting component can rotate under the drive of the mechanism to be housed within the mounting space, concealing the sound hole and thus not occupying space on the side of the display unit. In this way, the sound-emitting component not only outputs sound from the front of the display unit but can also be hidden when not in use, minimizing its presence and reducing its impact on the appearance of the display device.
[0062] Furthermore, since the first surface of the sound-emitting component abuts against the first sidewall in the first state (i.e., when the sound-emitting component is housed in the installation space), and the second surface abuts against the second sidewall in the second state (i.e., when the sound-emitting component extends out of the installation space), the front and rear sidewalls defining the opening provide abutment and limit for the sound-emitting component when switching between the first and second states. This ensures that the sound-emitting component rotates into position and provides stable support. Utilizing the first and second sidewalls of the display body itself, which define the opening, as rotation stops for the sound-emitting component means that the first and second sidewalls are structurally reused without the need for additional stop structures. This simplifies the overall structural design of the display device. For example, with this configuration, the drive mechanism only needs to rotate to a preset angle, and the positioning is completed by the natural blocking effect of the first and second sidewalls, thus reducing control complexity.

[0083] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0084] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses a display device 100, which includes, but is not limited to, electronic display products such as televisions, computer monitors, and liquid crystal display panels 11, and can be widely used in various places such as homes, offices, conference halls, exhibition halls, stations, hospitals, or shopping malls.
[0085] In some embodiments, the display device 100 includes a display body 10, which has a display surface 101 for displaying image information for user viewing. The display body 10 may include a display panel 11, a backlight module (not shown), a front frame 12, and a rear shell 13, etc., which will be further described below with reference to embodiments.
[0086] In some embodiments, the display body 10 further has a side surface located on the outer periphery of the display surface 101.
[0087] With the display device 100 in its operating state as a reference, the direction facing the user is considered the front, and the direction away from the user is considered the rear. Therefore, the front-to-back direction is the thickness direction of the display device 100. The horizontal direction from one side of the display device 100 to the other is the left-to-right direction, which is also the width direction of the display device 100. The vertical direction from the top to the bottom of the display device 100 is the up-down direction, which is also the height direction of the display device 100.
[0088] It is understood that the side of the aforementioned display body 10 can be any side of the display body 10, for example, it can be at least one of the left side, right side, upper side, and lower side of the display body 10.
[0089] See Figures 2 to 5 In some embodiments, the display body 10 forms an installation space 10a with an opening 10b located on the side of the display body 10. The display body 10 has a first sidewall 102 and a second sidewall 103 spaced apart along a first direction X, with the opening 10b defined between the first sidewall 102 and the second sidewall 103. The first direction X is the thickness direction of the display device 100.
[0090] In some embodiments, the display device 100 includes a sound output component 20, which is connected to the display body 10. The sound output component 20 has a first surface 201 and a second surface 202. The first surface 201 is provided with a sound output hole 20a. The sound output component 20 has a first state and a second state.
[0091] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, in a first state, the first surface 201 abuts against the first sidewall 102, and at least a portion of the sound output assembly 20 is housed within the mounting space 10a, so that the sound output hole 20a is hidden within the mounting space 10a.
[0092] In some embodiments, in the second state, the sound output component 20 extends out of the mounting space 10a so that the sound output hole 20a is exposed relative to the mounting space 10a, the sound output direction of the sound output hole 20a is in the same direction as the display surface 101, and the second surface 202 abuts against the second sidewall 103.
[0093] In other words, the sound-emitting component 20 can rotate relative to the display body 10 until the first surface 201 extends out of the opening 10b, exposing the sound outlet 20a in the mounting space 10a, and the second surface 202 abuts against the second sidewall 103, in a second state. In the second state, the sound emission direction of the sound outlet 20a is the same as that of the display surface 101. The sound-emitting component 20 can also rotate relative to the display body 10 until the second surface 202 moves away from the second sidewall 103, so that the sound outlet 20a is hidden within the mounting space 10a and the first surface 201 abuts against the first sidewall 102, in a first state.
[0094] It can be understood that the first state of the sound output component 20 can refer to the extreme position reached by the sound output component 20 during its rotation toward the first side wall 102. For example, when the sound output component 20 rotates counterclockwise relative to the display body 10 to the first state, the sound output component 20 can no longer continue to rotate counterclockwise. Therefore, the first state of the sound output component 20 can be the extreme position of the sound output component 20 rotating counterclockwise relative to the display body 10. That is, the abutment limit provided by the first side wall 102 to the first surface 201 causes the sound output component 20 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the display body 10 to the extreme position.
[0095] The second state of the sound output component 20 can refer to the extreme position reached by the sound output component 20 during its rotation toward the second side wall 103. For example, when the sound output component 20 rotates clockwise relative to the display body 10 to the second state, the sound output component 20 can no longer continue to rotate clockwise. The second state of the sound output component 20 can be the extreme position of the sound output component 20 rotating clockwise relative to the display body 10. That is, the abutment limit provided by the second side wall 103 to the second surface 202 causes the sound output component 20 to rotate clockwise relative to the display body 10 to the extreme position.
[0096] In some embodiments, the display device 100 includes a drive mechanism 30 connected to a sound output component 20. The drive mechanism 30 is configured to drive the sound output component 20 to rotate, so that the sound output component 20 switches between a first state and a second state.
[0097] The display device 100 provided in this application drives the sound-emitting component 20 to rotate via the drive mechanism 30, causing the sound-emitting component 20 to switch between a first state and a second state. When sound is needed, the sound-emitting component 20 can extend out of the mounting space 10a under the drive of the drive mechanism 30, so that the sound-emitting hole 20a is exposed in the mounting space 10a, and the sound-emitting direction is the same as that of the display surface 101, that is, the sound is emitted towards the front, and the sound is directly directed towards the user, reducing the reflection from the desktop or wall, so that the sound-emitting component 20 has a wider sound-emitting space, thereby improving the sound output rate and making the sound output effect better. When sound is not needed, the sound-emitting component 20 can rotate under the drive of the drive mechanism 30 to be housed in the mounting space 10a, and the sound-emitting hole 20a is hidden in the mounting space 10a, so as not to occupy the space on the side of the display body 10. In this way, not only can the sound output component 20 output sound from the front of the display body 10, but it can also be hidden when the sound output component 20 is not in use, thus weakening the presence of the sound output component 20 and reducing the impact on the appearance of the display device 100.
[0098] Furthermore, since in the first state, i.e., when the sound output assembly 20 is housed in the installation space 10a, the first surface 201 of the sound output assembly 20 abuts against the first side wall 102, and in the second state, i.e., when the sound output assembly 20 extends out of the installation space 10a, the second surface 202 of the sound output assembly 20 abuts against the second side wall 103, the front and rear side walls defining the opening 10b are used to provide abutment and limit for the sound output assembly 20 when switching between the first and second states, so as to ensure that the sound output assembly 20 rotates into place and provides stable support for the sound output assembly 20. The first sidewall 102 and the second sidewall 103 of the display body 10 itself, which define the opening 10b, are used as the rotation stop of the sound output component 20. That is, the first sidewall 102 and the second sidewall 103 are structurally reused, and there is no need to set an additional stop structure. This simplifies the overall structural design of the display device 100. For example, with this configuration, the drive mechanism 30 only needs to rotate to a preset angle, and the first sidewall 102 and the second sidewall 103 will naturally block the positioning, which helps to reduce the complexity of control.
[0099] Taking a television as an example of the display device 100, the sound output component 20 in this embodiment can be controlled by the television remote control to move out of or into the installation space 10a. When the television is turned on, the drive mechanism 30 can drive the sound output component 20 to rotate counterclockwise from the opening 10b out of the installation space 10a, exposing the first surface 201 and the sound outlet 20a of the sound output component 20, and making the sound outlet direction of the sound outlet 20a the same as that of the display surface 101, thereby giving the sound output component 20 a wider sound outlet space and enhancing the sound performance of the television. When the television is turned off, the drive mechanism 30 can drive the sound output component 20 to rotate clockwise from the opening 10b into the installation space 10a, hiding the sound outlet 20a within the installation space 10a, thereby reducing the bulkiness of the sound output component 20 when the television is not in use, making it less visually obtrusive and improving the aesthetics of the display device 100. In addition, it can reduce dust accumulation caused by the exposed sound holes 20a when the TV is not used for a long time.
[0100] As can be seen, the rotating sound output component 20 in this embodiment can make the sound more directional and can be linked with the power on / off of the display device 100, making the display device 100 more intelligent while also enhancing the audio function.
[0101] Optionally, the sound outlet 20a can be formed by setting a corresponding grille area on the first surface 201, or it can be formed by directly opening a through hole and then setting a mesh cover on the through hole.
[0102] In some embodiments, the mounting space 10a is located at the bottom of the display body 10, and the opening 10b is located on the lower side of the display body 10.
[0103] The mounting space 10a for housing the sound-emitting component 20 is located at the bottom of the display body 10. This way, after the sound-emitting component 20 rotates out of the mounting space 10a through the opening 10b (i.e., in the second state), it is positioned at the bottom of the television. This allows sound from the sound outlet 20a to propagate forward from the bottom of the television, directly towards the user, resulting in clearer sound, better sound output, and sound emanating more closely from the center of the display surface 101, thus improving image quality and ensuring a consistent sound propagation path whether placed on a table or mounted on a wall, providing a stable user experience. Furthermore, placing the sound-emitting component 20 at the bottom minimizes its visual impact, contributing to a cleaner and more streamlined appearance of the display device 100.
[0104] See Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the display body 10 includes a display panel 11, which has a display surface 101.
[0105] In some embodiments, the display body 10 includes a backlight module (not shown), which is disposed on the side of the display panel 11 opposite to the display surface 101.
[0106] In some embodiments, the backlight module may include a backplate and optical components. The backplate is located on the side of the display panel 11 opposite to the display surface 101, and the optical components are located between the backplate and the display panel 11. The optical components may include a light source, a reflector, a diffuser, and an optical film assembly arranged sequentially from back to front. The display panel 11 is located in front of the optical film assembly. Light emitted from the light source is reflected by the reflector and then passes through the diffuser and the optical film assembly before reaching the display panel 11. The liquid crystal molecules in the front panel are deflected by an electric field, reducing the transmittance of light emitted from the optical film assembly into the liquid crystal panel, thereby projecting the light onto filters of different colors to form an image.
[0107] The optical film assembly may include multiple films, for example, multiple films may include a light-enhancing film and multiple prism sheets, or multiple films may include multiple prism sheets.
[0108] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the display body 10 includes a front frame 12, which is located on the outer periphery of the backlight module and the display panel 11. Both the display panel 11 and the backlight module are connected to the front frame 12.
[0109] In some embodiments, the display body 10 has a rear shell 13, which is located on the side of the backlight module away from the display panel 11. The rear shell 13 is connected to the front frame 12, and an installation space 10a is formed between the rear shell 13 and the backlight module.
[0110] The back plate is the main support structure of the display device 100. The back plate can be connected to the front frame 12 to support the display panel 11, and the two enclose a space for at least part of the rear shell 13 to be installed. The rear shell 13 and the front frame 12 together constitute the outer shell of the display device 100.
[0111] In some embodiments, the front frame 12 has a first sidewall 102, and the rear housing 13 has a second sidewall 103. The rear housing 13 and the front frame 12 together form an opening 10b. The drive mechanism 30 is disposed in the mounting space 10a and connected to the rear housing 13. It is understood that the mounting space 10a is located between the rear housing 13 and the backlight module, such that at least a portion of the sound output assembly 20 is located between the rear housing 13 and the backlight module, thereby preventing the sound output assembly 20 from occupying space on the display panel 11.
[0112] When the mounting space 10a is located at the bottom of the display body 10, the mounting space 10a is located between the back cover 13 and the bottom of the backlight module.
[0113] The redundant area between the backlight module and the back cover 13 is used as the installation space 10a for the sound output component 20, without increasing the thickness of the display body 10, which is more conducive to the structural compactness of the sound output component 20 and the display body 10.
[0114] Furthermore, by separating the sound output component 20 from the various parts of the display body 10, compared to the related technology where the speaker and display body 10 are integrated and require disassembly of the entire unit for maintenance, the sound output component 20 in this application is more conducive to maintenance and replacement.
[0115] Continue reading Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the sound output assembly 20 includes a housing 21, the housing 21 having a receiving cavity 21a, the housing 21 having a first surface 201 and a second surface 202, and the first surface 201 having a sound output hole 20a communicating with the receiving cavity 21a.
[0116] In some embodiments, the sound output assembly 20 includes a loudspeaker (not shown), which is disposed in the receiving cavity 21a and corresponding to the sound output hole 20a. The drive mechanism 30 drives the housing 21 to rotate, thereby causing the loudspeaker to rotate.
[0117] In some embodiments, the housing 21 includes a bottom panel 211 extending along a second direction Y. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. It can be understood that when the sound-emitting assembly 20 is located at the bottom of the rear housing 13, the second direction Y can be the width direction of the display device 100, that is, the bottom panel 211 extends along the width direction of the display device 100. When the sound-emitting assembly 20 is located on a side of the rear housing 13, that is, when the opening 10b is located on the left or right side of the display body 10, the second direction Y can be the height direction of the display device 100, that is, the bottom panel 211 can extend along the height direction of the display device 100.
[0118] In some embodiments, the housing 21 includes a front panel 212 disposed on the side of the bottom panel 211 near the display panel 11. The front panel 212 has a first surface 201. In a second state, the front panel 212 is disposed parallel to the display surface 101. It can be understood that when the sound output assembly 20 is located at the bottom of the rear housing 13, the front panel 212 is disposed vertically.
[0119] In some embodiments, the housing 21 includes a rear panel 213 disposed on the side of the bottom panel 211 near the rear housing 13. A receiving cavity 21a is formed between the rear panel 213, the bottom panel 211 and the front panel 212. The rear panel 213 has a second surface 202. The rear panel 213 is connected to the drive mechanism 30 to rotate under the drive action of the drive mechanism 30 to drive the housing 21 to rotate.
[0120] If the sound output direction is forward, but deviates from the display surface 101 (e.g., downwards by 30°), the user will perceive the sound as coming from below, disconnected from the screen. Therefore, in the second state, the front panel 212 of the sound output component 20 in this application is parallel to the display surface 101. That is, when the sound output component 20 is rotated out of the mounting space 10a to expose the sound outlet 20a, the front panel 212 of the housing 21 is parallel to the display surface 101. Since the front panel 212 has the sound outlet 20a, the sound output direction is parallel to the first direction X, thus ensuring that the orientation of the sound outlet 20a is consistent with the direction of the display surface 101. In this way, the sound emitted by the speaker can be directly and horizontally transmitted to the user through the sound outlet 20a, avoiding sound loss caused by reflection from walls or desktops, thereby maintaining sound clarity and better ensuring the synchronization between the sound source and the displayed content.
[0121] Furthermore, since the speaker is housed in the housing 21, the housing 21 is designed to enclose the cavity 21a together with the bottom panel 211 and the front and rear panels 213. This design allows for sufficient installation space 10a for the speaker, provided that the front panel 212 abuts against the first side wall 102 as a rotation stop in the first state, and the rear panel 213 abuts against the second side wall 103 as a rotation stop in the second state.
[0122] Optionally, the speakers may include one, two, or more. Preferably, there are two speakers to play audio in the left and right channels. The housing 21 may be elongated. Taking the sound output assembly 20 located at the bottom of the rear housing 13 as an example, the housing 21 may extend along the width direction of the display device 100 so that the two speakers can be arranged left and right.
[0123] Combination Figure 9 In some embodiments, the front panel 212 includes a first part 212a and a second part 212b, the first part 212a and the second part are spaced apart along the second direction Y, and both the first part 212a and the second part 212b are provided with sound outlet holes 20a.
[0124] The housing 21 also includes a first side plate 214, a second side plate 215, a third side plate 216, and a fourth side plate 217 arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction Y. A first cavity 21b is formed between the first side plate 214, the second side plate 215, the first portion 212a, the rear panel 213, and the bottom panel 211. A second cavity 21c is formed between the third side plate 216, the fourth side plate 217, the second portion 212b, the rear panel 213, and the bottom panel 211. The first cavity 21b and the second cavity 21c together constitute the aforementioned receiving cavity 21a. A speaker is provided in both the first cavity 21b and the second cavity 21c.
[0125] A clearance space 21d is formed between the first cavity 21b and the second cavity 21c. When the sound output assembly 20 is installed on the rear shell 13, it can be used to avoid structural components on the rear shell 13. On the one hand, it can make the structural layout of the sound output assembly 20 more reasonable, and on the other hand, it can reduce the weight of the sound output assembly 20, avoiding the situation that the shell 21 is long and heavy and is easy to deform or cause the rotation to be unsmooth.
[0126] In some embodiments, the front panel 212 and the rear panel 213 are arranged in parallel, and the bottom panel 211 is arranged at an angle relative to the front panel 212 and the rear panel 213, so that the included angle between the bottom panel 211 and the front panel 212 is an acute angle, and the included angle between the bottom panel 211 and the rear panel 213 is an obtuse angle.
[0127] In some embodiments, in a first state, the bottom panel 211 is located outside the mounting space 10a and parallel to the side of the front frame 12, while a portion of the front panel 212 is located within the mounting space 10a, such that the first surface 201 abuts against the first sidewall 102. It can be understood that when the sound output assembly 20 is located at the bottom of the rear housing 13, in the first state, the bottom panel 211 is horizontally positioned, and in the second state, the bottom panel 211 is inclined relative to the first direction X.
[0128] By arranging the front panel 212 and the rear panel 213 in parallel, since the front panel 212 is parallel to the display surface 101 in the second state, and the front panel 212 is parallel to the rear panel 213, that is, in the second state, the rear panel 213 is also parallel to the display surface 101, the housing 21 of the sound output assembly 20 is more regular, so that when the sound output assembly 20 is rotated to the second state, even if it is exposed outside the installation space 10a, the impact on the appearance of the display device 100 can be reduced.
[0129] To ensure that the first surface 201 of the front panel 212 can abut against the first side wall 102 for restraint in the first state of the sound output assembly 20, the bottom panel 211 needs to be located outside the mounting space 10a. However, if the bottom panel 211 is vertically connected between the front panel 212 and the rear panel 213, the bottom panel 211 will be tilted relative to the side of the front frame 12 in the second state of the sound output assembly 20, resulting in a large area of the sound output assembly 20 being exposed to the outside, which is visually abrupt. Based on this, this application positions the bottom panel 211 relative to the front panel 212. The bottom panel 211 and the front panel 212 are inclined, so that the angle between the bottom panel 211 and the front panel 212 is an acute angle, while the angle between the bottom panel 211 and the rear panel 213 is an obtuse angle. This ensures that when the sound output assembly 20 is rotated to the first state, the bottom panel 211 is parallel to the side of the front frame 12. This further weakens the presence of the sound output assembly 20 when it is housed in the installation space 10a, reduces its impact on the appearance of the display device 100, and ensures that the display device 100 has a good appearance.
[0130] In some embodiments, the front frame 12 is provided with a first notch 12a, and the first sidewall 102 is configured to surround the portion forming the first notch 12a. In a first state, the front panel 212 is located at the notch so that the first surface abuts against the first sidewall 102. It can be understood that the first notch 12a forms part of an opening.
[0131] With this configuration, in the first state, part of the sound output component 20 extends into the space of the front frame 12. Without changing the size of the existing components, the space on the front frame 12 is used to accommodate part of the sound output component 20. This can compress the thickness space of the display device 100, reduce the thickness of the display device 100, make the display device 100 thinner overall, and make the layout of the internal structure of the display device 100 more compact, thereby improving the space utilization rate.
[0132] In this embodiment, the rear shell 13 is provided with a third notch 13a, and the front frame 12 is provided with a first notch 12a. The third notch 13a and the first notch 12a together form an opening 10b. In this way, without changing the distance between the first sidewall 102 and the second sidewall 103 in the first direction X, the rear shell 13 can be designed to be closer to the backlight module, thereby making the display body 10 thinner in the first direction X.
[0133] Of course, in other embodiments, the first notch 12a may not be provided on the front frame 12. For example, the rear shell 13 is provided with a third notch 13a, which penetrates the side of the rear shell 13 and the side near the backlight module. The front frame 12 surrounds the side of the third notch 13a near the backlight module to form an opening 10b on the side of the rear shell 13.
[0134] It is understandable that in order to form an opening 10b in the installation space 10a, so that the sound output component 20 can rotate out of or into the installation space 10a from the opening 10b, the opening 10b can be configured in various ways, which will be illustrated with examples below.
[0135] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second sidewall 103 not only defines the opening 10b with the first sidewall, but the second sidewall 103 is also configured to form part of the mounting space 10a. In this case, since the third surface 213b abuts against the second sidewall 103 in the second state, and the rear panel 213 is parallel to the front panel, when the sound output assembly 20 is located at the bottom of the display device, the rear panel 213 is vertically arranged and fitted against the second sidewall 103. That is, in the second state, the second surface 202 is fitted against the second sidewall 103 of the rear shell 13.
[0136] This configuration allows for a larger contact area between the sound output component 20 and the rear panel 213 when the latter is rotated to the second state. This provides the second sidewall 103 with an effective limiting effect and abutment, thereby suppressing the resonance of the housing 21 caused by speaker vibration to a certain extent.
[0137] It is understandable that in the second state, the second surface 202 is fitted to the second side wall 103 of the rear shell 13, which may cause interference between the rear panel 213 and the second side wall 103 of the rear shell 13 when the sound output assembly 20 switches between the first state and the second state.
[0138] To prevent interference between the rear panel 213 and the rear shell 13, in some embodiments, the rear panel 213 further has a first inclined surface 213a. The first inclined surface 213a is located at the top of the rear panel 213 and is connected to the second surface 202. The first inclined surface 213a is configured to avoid interference with the rear panel 213 when it rotates. It can be understood that by providing an inclined surface on the side of the rear panel 213 facing the second sidewall 103, a clearance space is formed between the rear panel 213 and the second sidewall 103 of the rear shell 13, preventing interference between the rear panel 213 and the second sidewall 103 during rotation, thereby ensuring smooth rotation of the rear panel 213.
[0139] Because the second surface 202 of the rear panel 213 is fitted to the second sidewall 103 in the second state, when the sound output assembly 20 switches from the second state to the first state, the rear panel 213 will gradually rotate away from the second sidewall 103, and when the sound output assembly 20 switches from the first state to the second state, the rear panel 213 will gradually rotate towards the second sidewall 103. During this process, the end of the rear panel 213 near the axis of rotation may collide with the second sidewall 103. Therefore, by providing an inclined surface at the top of the rear panel 213 that connects to the second surface 202 to form a clearance, the collision between the rear panel 213 and the second sidewall 103 during rotation can be avoided, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the rotation of the rear panel 213.
[0140] Furthermore, by using a sloping surface to form the clearance on the rear panel 213, the structural modifications to the rear shell 13 can be minimized, which helps to ensure the consistency of the overall height between the rear panel 213 and the front panel 212, thereby making the structure of the housing 21 of the sound assembly 20 more regular.
[0141] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 The diagram illustrates a cross-sectional view of the sound-emitting assembly 20 in its first state when the second sidewall 103, which defines the opening 10b, and the third sidewall 104, which forms the mounting space 10a, are independently configured. Figure 11 The following is a cross-sectional view of the sound output assembly 20 in the second state, showing the second sidewall 103 for defining the opening and the third sidewall 104 for forming the installation space 10a, when they are independently set.
[0142] In some embodiments, a mounting space 10a is formed between the rear housing 13 and the backlight module. The rear housing 13 has a third sidewall 104 for forming the mounting space 10a, which faces the backlight module along a first direction. A third notch 13a on the rear housing 13 does not extend to the third sidewall 104 along the first direction. The third notch 13a has a second sidewall 103. That is, the second sidewall 103 and the third sidewall 104 are two sidewalls on the rear housing 13. The second sidewall 103 is used to define a portion of the third notch 13a, and the third sidewall 104 is used to form a portion of the mounting space 10a. In other words, in this embodiment, the sidewall for forming the mounting space 10a and the sidewall for defining the opening 10b are respectively provided independently. As can be seen, in the second state, when the third surface 213b of the rear panel 213 abuts against the second side wall 103, the rear panel 213 and the third side wall 104 are spaced apart. That is, there is a certain space between the rear panel 213 and the third side wall 104 of the rear shell 13, which can prevent the rear panel 213 from colliding with the rear shell 13 when the sound output assembly 20 rotates as a whole.
[0143] The following is a brief explanation of the rotation process of the sound output component 20 with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a cross-sectional view of the sound output component 20 in its first state. Figure 6 The diagram illustrates a cross-sectional view of the sound-emitting assembly 20 in its second state. In the first state, the first surface 201 abuts against the first sidewall 102, the bottom panel 211 is horizontally positioned, and the drive mechanism 30 can drive the sound-emitting assembly 20 to rotate counterclockwise from the opening 10b out of the mounting space 10a, such as along... Figure 5 The arrows indicate the direction in which the first surface 201 and the sound outlet 20a of the sound-emitting assembly 20 are exposed, and the sound outlet direction of the sound outlet 20a is aligned with the display surface 101. The second surface 202 abuts against the second sidewall 103 to switch to... Figure 6 The second state of the sound output component 20 is shown in the diagram.
[0144] In the second state, the second surface 202 abuts against the second sidewall 103, the front panel 212 is vertically positioned, and the drive mechanism 30 can drive the sound output assembly 20 to be received into the mounting space 10a from the opening 10b in a clockwise direction. Figure 6 The arrow in the diagram indicates the direction in which the sound outlet 20a is hidden within the mounting space 10a, and the first surface 201 abuts against the first sidewall 102 to switch to... Figure 5 The first state of the sound output component 20 is shown.
[0145] See Figure 9 and Figure 12In some embodiments, the rear panel 213 has a third surface 213b opposite to the second surface 202, and the rear panel 213 is provided with a second notch 213c extending from the second surface 202 through the third surface 213b.
[0146] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 30 includes a drive member 31, which is fixed to the rear housing 13 and is located at the second notch 213c.
[0147] By providing a notch in the rear panel 213 and placing the drive component 31 at the notch, the space occupied by the drive mechanism 30 in the second direction Y can be reduced, making the layout of the sound output component 20 and the drive mechanism 30 more compact. At the same time, by fixing the first rotating component 32 to the third surface 213b of the rear panel 213, that is, part of the first rotating shaft portion 331b is located in the receiving cavity 21a, the space occupied by the drive mechanism 30 in the first direction X can be reduced without changing the size of the drive mechanism 30. Thus, the drive mechanism 30 and the sound output component 20 can be installed in a smaller installation space 10a, resulting in a smaller size for the drive component and the sound output component 20, which is more conducive to the thinning and lightening of the display device 100.
[0148] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 30 includes a first rotating component 32, which is connected to the drive member 31 in a transmission manner, and the end of the first rotating component 32 is fixed to the third surface 213b.
[0149] Fixing the first rotating component 32 to the third surface 213b allows the rotation axis to be at a certain distance from the second sidewall 103. Compared to a configuration where the rotation axis is located on or closer to the second sidewall 103, this allows the sound output component 20 to rotate into position with a smaller preset angle while maintaining the same distance between the first and second sidewalls 102 and 103, thus improving the rotation efficiency of the sound output component 20. If the first rotating shaft portion 331b is fixed to the top of the rear panel 213 or the second surface 202, ensuring that the second surface 202 fits snugly against the second sidewall 103 requires providing space on the second sidewall 103 to accommodate the first rotating shaft 322 component, which inevitably increases the structural complexity of the rear shell 13. Therefore, the configuration of the first rotating component 32 using the method described in this application is simpler.
[0150] Optionally, the drive component 31 can be a stepper motor, DC motor, or other power source. The output shaft of the drive component 31 is connected to the first rotating component 32 to drive the first rotating component 32.
[0151] In some embodiments, the first rotating assembly 32 includes a transmission member 321, a rotating shaft 322, a first fixed seat 323, and a second fixed seat 324. One end of the transmission member 321 is connected to a driving member 31, and the transmission member 321 moves under the driving action of the driving member 31. The rotating shaft 322 is connected to the other end of the transmission member 321, and the rotating shaft 322 rotates under the drive of the transmission member 321. The first fixed seat 323 is located on one side of the second notch 213c and is fixed to the third surface. One end of the rotating shaft 322 is fixedly connected to the first fixed seat 323. The second fixed seat 324 is located on the other side of the second notch 213c and is fixed to the third surface. The other end of the rotating shaft 322 is fixedly connected to the second fixed seat 324.
[0152] Since both ends of the rotating shaft 322 are fixed to the fixed seats respectively, the connection between the transmission component 321 and the rotating shaft 322 is located between the two ends of the rotating shaft 322. The two ends of the rotating shaft 322 are fixed to the first fixed seat 323 and the second fixed seat 324 respectively to form rigid support. When the intermediate transmission component 321 applies force, the torque is symmetrically distributed along the axial direction, which can reduce torsional stress and thus help reduce the risk of torsional deformation.
[0153] It is understood that the transmission component 321 is connected between the rotating shaft 322 and the driving component 31. The transmission component 321 is used to transmit the power of the driving component 31 to the rotating shaft 322 so that the rotating shaft 322 rotates. The first fixed seat 323 and the second fixed seat 324 are both fixed on the third surface 213b of the sound output component 20 and are located on both sides of the second notch 213c. One end of the rotating shaft 322 is fixedly connected to the first fixed seat 323 and the other end of the rotating shaft 322 is fixedly connected to the second fixed seat 324 so that the rotating shaft 322 rotates under the driving action of the driving component 31, thereby driving the rear panel 213 to rotate, and thus realizing the rotation of the sound output component 20.
[0154] For example, the transmission component 321 includes a first gear and a second gear. The first gear is fixed to the output shaft of the drive component 31, and the second gear is fixed to the rotating shaft 322 and meshes with the first gear. When the drive motor rotates, the first gear drives the second gear to move, thereby causing the entire rotating shaft 322 to rotate around its axis. The rear panel 213 will then rotate around the rotating shaft 322, thus realizing the rotation of the sound output assembly 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission component 321 can be a worm gear, and the rotating shaft 322 can be a worm, with the rotation of the rear panel 213 achieved through the engagement of the worm gear and the worm.
[0155] In other embodiments, the transmission component 321 may be a reduction gear set, which is connected between the drive component 31 and the rotating shaft 322 to reduce the speed of the drive motor and transmit the power to the rotating shaft 322. The rear housing 13 has a space for mounting the drive component 31 and the transmission component 321, and the transmission component 321 can be fixed to the rear housing 13 by a mounting bracket.
[0156] Optionally, both the first fixing seat 323 and the second fixing seat 324 can be fixed to the third surface 213b by screwing.
[0157] In some embodiments, the rear panel 213 has a first end 213d and a second end 213e opposite each other along the second direction Y, with the drive member 31 and the first rotating assembly 32 located at the first end 213d.
[0158] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 30 further includes a second rotating component 33, which is located at the second end 213e. The second end 213e is rotatably connected to the rear shell 13 through the second rotating component 33. The drive member 31 drives the first rotating component 32 to rotate, thereby driving the first end 213d to rotate, which in turn drives the second end 213e to rotate.
[0159] This configuration allows the first end 213d of the rear panel 213 to rotate under the action of the driving member 31 driving the first rotating assembly 32, while the second end 213e rotates passively through the second rotating assembly 33. This disperses the force, preventing the rear panel 213 from twisting due to unilateral driving, and thus preventing deformation of the rear panel 213. Furthermore, by having the first end 213d (driving end) and the second end 213e (driven end) jointly bear the weight of the sound output assembly 20, the reliability of the connection of the sound output assembly 20 is better ensured.
[0160] As can be seen from the foregoing, the housing 21 of the sound output assembly 20 is elongated, and the two ends of the housing 21 have accommodating cavities 21a for mounting loudspeakers, that is, the two accommodating cavities 21a are located at the first end 213d and the second end 213e, respectively, and the first rotating assembly 32 and the second rotating assembly 33 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two accommodating cavities 21a.
[0161] In some embodiments, the second rotating assembly 33 includes a first rotating member 331 and a second rotating member 332. The first rotating member 331 is fixed on the rear shell 13, and the second rotating member 332 is fixed on the third surface 213b. The first rotating member 331 and the second rotating member 332 are rotatably connected.
[0162] In some embodiments, the first rotating member 331 includes a first fixing part 331a and a first rotating shaft part 331b connected to the first fixing part 331a. The first fixing part 331a is fixed to the rear shell 13. The second rotating member 332 includes a second fixing part 332a and a second rotating shaft part 332b connected to the second fixing part 332a. The second fixing part 332a is fixed to the third surface 213b. The first rotating shaft part 331b and the second rotating shaft part 332b are rotatably connected to achieve a rotatable connection between the second end 213e and the rear shell 13.
[0163] Optionally, one of the first rotating shaft portion 331b and the second rotating shaft portion 332b may be a shaft body, and the other may be a shaft hole, as long as the rotational connection between the first rotating shaft portion 331b and the second rotating shaft portion 332b is satisfied. This application embodiment does not impose any special limitations. In addition, the first fixing seat 323 and the second fixing seat 324 may be plate-shaped or block-shaped structures, and may be fixed to the rear shell 13 or the third surface 213b by screwing.
