Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display modules, and in particular to a deformable display module and display screen. Background Technology

[0002] Some existing displays can be bent and deformed to meet different application requirements. They consist of multiple display modules, each including a motor and a transmission assembly. The motor drives the transmission assembly, causing one LED panel to move relative to another, achieving the bending and deformation effect. The transmission assembly includes a lead screw, a lead screw nut threadedly connected to the lead screw, a transmission rod, and a guide rail. The motor's output shaft rotates, driving the lead screw to rotate, causing the lead screw nut to move back and forth along the lead screw. The lead screw nut then drives the transmission rod to move, pushing or pulling the LED panel. The movable rod and the guide rail are slidably connected, allowing the movable rod to move along the guide rail. This structure not only has many components, a complex structure, and high manufacturing costs, but also involves cumbersome installation and high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0031] See Figure 1-5 The present invention discloses a deformable display module, including a support mechanism and a drive mechanism 10, wherein the drive mechanism 10 is mounted on the support mechanism.

[0032] The support mechanism includes a first support frame 1 and a second support frame 2, which are movably connected; the drive mechanism 10 includes a linear drive mechanism 4 and a transmission component 5, which are fixedly mounted on the first support frame 1.

[0033] The linear drive mechanism 4 is movably connected to the second support frame 2 via the transmission component 5; the linear drive mechanism 4 drives the transmission component 5 to move in a straight line, thereby driving the second support frame 2 to move.

[0034] This utility model discloses a deformable display module, including a linear drive mechanism fixedly mounted on a first support frame. The linear drive mechanism is movably connected to a second support frame via a transmission component. The linear drive mechanism drives the transmission component to move linearly, causing the second support frame to move relative to the first support frame, thus bending the display module as a whole in one direction or another, achieving deformation. Compared with existing lead screw and lead screw nut transmissions, this utility model has fewer components, a simpler structure, lower manufacturing costs, and is easier to install and maintain.

[0035] Preferably, the linear drive mechanism 4 is a linear motor. A linear motor is a transmission device that directly converts electrical energy into linear motion mechanical energy without any intermediate conversion mechanism. This invention uses a linear motor, eliminating the need for components such as lead screws, lead screw nuts, and transmission rods, resulting in fewer components, a simpler structure, lower cost, and easier installation. More preferably, the linear drive mechanism 4 is a linear stepper motor. Specifically, a hybrid linear stepper motor, model 28K-2R-63.5, manufactured by Shenzhen Yingpeng Aircraft Electric Co., Ltd., can be used. Linear stepper motors can more precisely control the amplitude of movement.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the linear drive mechanism 4 includes a linear drive body 41 and an output shaft 42. The linear drive body 41 is fixedly mounted on the first support frame 1. The linear drive body 41 drives the output shaft 42 to move linearly. The output shaft 42 and the transmission component 5 are fixedly connected. The linear drive body 41 drives the output shaft 42 to move along its own axial direction, that is, the output shaft 42 extends and retracts, realizing the linear movement of the transmission component. The linear movement of the transmission component replaces the existing linear movement of the lead screw and nut along the lead screw, resulting in fewer parts and a simpler structure. Since the transmission component and the second support frame are movably connected, the second support frame can be driven to move during the linear movement of the transmission component, causing the entire display module to deform, for example, bend. The linear stepper motor can be programmed to individually control the extension and retraction direction and distance of the output shaft, achieving different deformation effects of the display module.

[0037] It should be noted that the linear drive body can be fixedly installed on the first support frame to drive the second support frame to move, or it can be fixedly installed on the second support frame to drive the first support frame to move, as long as the overall deformation of the display module can be achieved.

[0038] To enable a wider range of movement and make the movement smoother and less prone to jamming, preferably, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the drive mechanism further includes a connecting assembly, which includes a connecting member 6 and a connecting seat 7. The connecting seat 7 is fixedly mounted on the second support frame 2, and the connecting member 6 is movably connected to the transmission member 5 and the connecting seat 7, respectively. More preferably, the connecting member 6 is hinged to both the transmission member 5 and the connecting seat 7.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the transmission component 5 includes a transmission rod 51 and a first rotating sleeve 52, the connecting seat 7 is provided with a second rotating sleeve 71, and the connecting component 6 is provided with a rotating shaft 61; the first rotating sleeve 52 and the second rotating sleeve 71 are respectively fitted around the rotating shaft 61 and can rotate around the rotating shaft 61. There are at least two rotating shafts, each corresponding to one of the first and second rotating sleeves. The rotating shafts are fixedly installed on the connecting component. This structure is simple and easy to install.

[0040] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , 5 As shown, the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 are movably connected by a connector 3; the connector 3 is made of an elastic material. The elastic material can be a metal or plastic with elasticity, but is not limited to this. Since the first support frame and the second support frame need to be positioned relative to each other, the connector is made of an elastic material, which can deform and return to its original shape, making the connection between the two tighter.

[0041] Better, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure -5, the connector 3 is provided with a sliding hole 31, through which the first support frame 1 and / or the second support frame 2 are movably connected to the connector 3. The sliding hole further expands the range of motion of the first support frame and / or the second support frame. Specifically, the first support frame 1 and the connector 3 are fixedly connected, and the second support frame 2 is slidably connected to the connector 3 through the sliding hole 31; or the second support frame 2 and the connector 3 are fixedly connected, and the first support frame 1 is slidably connected to the connector 3 through the sliding hole 31.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 5 As shown, the present invention also includes a display mechanism covering the support mechanism. The display mechanism includes a bottom shell 8 and a lamp plate 9. The lamp plate 9 covers the bottom shell 8, and the bottom shell 8 covers the support mechanism. The bottom shell 8 includes a support part 81 and a deformation part 82 made of elastic material. Two adjacent support parts 81 are movably connected through the deformation part 82. The adjacent support parts 81 are fixedly connected to the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2, respectively. The deformation part 82 and the connecting member 3 are correspondingly arranged.

[0043] The base shell supports the lamp panel, while the support mechanism in turn supports the base shell. Simultaneously, the support frame, driven by the drive mechanism, moves the base shell, ultimately causing the lamp panel to deform. Corresponding to the connecting parts, the base shell also features a deformation section made of elastic material. This section connects two adjacent support sections and allows for changes in their relative positions, thus deforming the lamp panel and consequently the entire display module. This structure is compact and reliable.

[0044] Preferably, the width of the deformable portion 82 is 5-20 mm, reducing the possibility of interference between adjacent support portions. More preferably, the width of the deformable portion 82 is 10-15 mm. The width of the deformable portion is the distance between two adjacent support portions.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 5 As shown, there are at least two second support frames 2, respectively located on both sides of the first support frame 1; there are at least two drive mechanisms 10, each corresponding to one of the second support frames 2. Specifically, the first support frame 1 is a fixed frame, and the second support frames 2 are movable frames. The two second support frames 2 can move relative to the first support frame 1, allowing for a greater range of deformation. The drive mechanisms can drive the two second support frames to move in the same direction or in different directions, so that the display module presents different shapes and achieves different deformations.

[0046] This utility model includes two embodiments, the difference between which is that the installation position of the drive mechanism is different.

[0047] First implementation example Figure 1 As shown: All linear drive mechanisms 4 are fixedly mounted on the first support frame 1, and each linear drive mechanism 4 is movably connected to the second support frame 2 via a transmission component 5. The linear drive mechanism is fixedly mounted on the stationary first support frame and drives the second support frame to move via the transmission component, thus achieving deformation.

[0048] Second implementation example Figure 5 As shown: The linear drive mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the second support frame 2, and the linear drive mechanism 4 is movably connected to the first support frame 1 through the transmission component 5. The linear drive mechanism is fixedly installed on the movable second support frame, and acts on the first support frame through the transmission component. The resulting reaction force also causes the second support frame to move, thus achieving deformation.

[0049] It should be noted that regardless of the installation method of the drive mechanism, as long as it can achieve the purpose of moving the second support frame, it is acceptable.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 5As shown, this utility model also includes a control mechanism 11 mounted on the support mechanism. The control mechanism 11 is connected to the linear drive mechanism 4 to control the linear movement of the linear drive mechanism 4. Specifically, the control mechanism 11 is mounted on the first support frame 1. The control mechanism 11 includes a liquid crystal display panel, a switching power supply, and a control circuit board, etc. The control mechanism is also connected to a lamp panel to control the color and brightness of the lamp panel. The liquid crystal display panel can display the relative bending angle between the first support frame and the second support frame, etc.

[0051] Accordingly, this utility model also discloses a display screen, comprising several of the aforementioned deformable display modules, which are spliced ​​together. The support mechanism is further provided with a latch (not shown in the figure) to fix adjacent display modules together. The specific structure of the deformable display module is as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0052] In summary, this utility model provides a deformable display module with a simple structure and easy installation.

[0053] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
