Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of digital tube technology, and more specifically, to a digital tube that is easy to transport. Background Technology

[0002] Digital tube displays, as a common semiconductor display device, are widely used in electronic instruments, home appliances, industrial control equipment, and other products. They use an internal chip module to drive an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display numbers, characters, or simple symbols intuitively. Digital tubes have advantages such as small size, clear display, and low power consumption, and are therefore widely used in the field of electronic displays.

[0003] However, existing digital tubes generally suffer from insufficient structural protection during transportation and storage. In particular, the pins, being directly exposed, are highly susceptible to external pressure or friction during stacking or handling, leading to bending, twisting, or even breakage. This not only affects the electrical connections and assembly accuracy of the digital tubes but can also render an entire batch unusable. For reference, Chinese Patent CN219370568U provides a novel digital tube design that protects the pins through a protective mechanism. However, during transportation, collisions between digital tubes can still easily cause damage. Relying solely on external packaging materials or fixing mechanisms for overall restraint increases transportation costs and makes loading and unloading operations cumbersome, failing to meet the dual requirements of protection and convenience for large-volume transportation of digital tubes.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above problems, this application proposes a digital tube that is easy to transport. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a digital tube that is easy to transport.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

One side of the protective component is provided with a vertical protrusion, and the other side of the protective component is provided with a vertical groove that matches the shape of the vertical protrusion.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a chip module is fixedly connected to the center of the substrate, and pins are provided on both sides of the chip module.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of sets of connection holes are provided on the substrate, the plurality of sets of connection holes are equidistantly arranged, and the connection holes are used to connect with other electronic components.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the protective component has a card slot on the side near the digital tube, and the card slot is adapted to the shape of the chip module.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. By incorporating horizontal protrusions and grooves, as well as vertical protrusions and grooves, multiple protective components can achieve stable connection and assembly in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This allows for stacking during bulk transport of digital tubes. The mutual restraint effect of the protective components effectively prevents the digital tubes from shaking or scattering due to transport vibrations. Stacking can be achieved without relying on external fixing mechanisms, simplifying the transportation process, effectively reducing transportation costs, and improving the efficiency and reliability of bulk transport.

[0017] 2. By setting a slot and side slots on the side of the protection component near the digital tube, the slot can engage with the chip module, preventing displacement between the protection component and the digital tube and further improving the protection effect; the depth of the side slot is greater than the length of the pin, and the pin can be completely accommodated in the internal space of the side slot, effectively preventing the pin from bending, twisting or breaking due to external pressure during transportation, thereby significantly improving the safety and reliability of the digital tube in transportation and storage.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0027] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0028] Specifically, this refers to a transportable digital tube, including a digital tube 1. The digital tube 1 includes a display component 11, which is used for displaying characters or numbers. A substrate 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the display component 11, and the substrate 12 is used to support and fix internal circuit components. A set of magnetic strips 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the substrate 12 along its axial direction. The magnetic strips 16 are made of magnetic material and attract protective components 2, thereby enabling quick assembly and disassembly during transportation or storage.

[0029] A chip module 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the substrate 12. The chip module 13 is used to drive and control the working state of the display component 11. Pins 14 are provided on both sides of the chip module 13. The pins 14 are used to make electrical connections with external circuit boards or other electronic components, and play a dual role in power supply and signal transmission during the use of the digital tube. Specifically, the pins 14 can transmit power provided by the external circuit to the chip module 13 and the display component 11, thereby driving the chip module 13 to work according to preset logic and controlling the display component 11 to display numbers or characters. At the same time, the pins 14 can also serve as data interfaces to receive or transmit external control signals, ensuring the compatibility and expandability of the digital tube in different application scenarios.

[0030] Each set of pins 14 is connected to a soldering station 15 at its bottom. The soldering station 15 is a conical structure with a flat top surface and a wide bottom surface. In practical applications, it can effectively distribute stress, enhance the soldering strength between the pins 14 and the substrate 12, and prevent loosening or displacement due to external forces during transportation, assembly, or subsequent use.

[0031] Two sets of fixing holes 17 are respectively opened on both sides of the substrate 12. The two sets of fixing holes 17 are symmetrically distributed to facilitate the assembly of the digital tube with the external frame or support plate. Several sets of connection holes 18 are also evenly opened on the substrate 12. The connection holes 18 are equally spaced and used to connect with other external electronic components, thereby enhancing the compatibility and expandability of the digital tube.

[0032] The protective component 2 is a rectangular structure with internal slots, and its dimensions are adapted to the digital tube 1. It can fully cover and protect the digital tube 1 during transportation or storage, preventing damage during transport. The top of the protective component 2 has a horizontal protrusion 21, and the bottom has a horizontal groove 22 that matches the protrusion 21. When multiple protective components 2 are stacked together, the horizontal protrusion 21 can be inserted into the horizontal groove 22 of adjacent protective components 2, thus achieving a lateral positioning and assembly. Furthermore, one side of the protective component 2 has a vertical protrusion 23, and the other side has a corresponding vertical groove 24 that matches the shape of the vertical protrusion 23. When multiple protective components 2 are placed side by side, the vertical protrusion 23 can be inserted into the vertical groove 24 of adjacent protective components 2, thus achieving a stable vertical assembly.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transverse convex strip 21 and the longitudinal convex strip 23 are configured as a triangular prism structure with a top surface plane.

[0034] Since multiple digital tubes are usually transported simultaneously, the splicing between the horizontal protrusion 21 and the horizontal groove 22, and the splicing between the vertical protrusion 23 and the vertical groove 24, can form a self-limiting effect during transportation. That is, the fixation is achieved by the interlocking of several sets of digital tubes without the need for additional external fixing mechanisms, thereby simplifying the transportation process, reducing transportation costs, and improving transportation efficiency.

[0035] The protective component 2 has a slot 25 on the side near the digital tube 1. The slot 25 is adapted to the shape of the chip module 13, and can cover the chip module 13 during installation to prevent it from being damaged by collision or friction. At the same time, the slot 25 can also prevent possible displacement between the protective component 2 and the digital tube 1 by engaging with the chip module 13, thereby further improving the stability of protection. A set of side grooves 26 are respectively provided on both sides of the slot 25. The two sets of side grooves 26 are symmetrically arranged. The width of the side grooves 26 is greater than the width of the soldering station 15, and the depth of the side grooves 26 is greater than the length of the pin 14. So when the protective component 2 is installed on the digital tube 1, the pin 14 can be completely accommodated inside the side grooves 26, preventing the pin 14 from being squeezed and bent or broken during transportation.

[0036] The working principle of the easily transportable digital tube provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0037] See Figure 1-6 When using the digital tube of this utility model, which is easy to transport, the protective component 2 is first adsorbed onto the magnetic strips 16 on both sides of the substrate 12 of the digital tube 1, so that the protective component 2 is firmly fixed to the outside of the digital tube 1. At this time, the chip module 13 is covered by the slot 25 inside the protective component 2, and the pins 14 are accommodated in the side slot 26, avoiding damage caused by external force during transportation.

[0038] When multiple sets of digital tubes need to be transported in bulk, the operator can use the horizontal protrusions 21, horizontal grooves 22, and vertical protrusions 23 and vertical grooves 24 of the protective component 2 to connect and assemble multiple digital tubes through corresponding structures. The interlocking of the horizontal protrusions 21, horizontal grooves 22, and vertical protrusions 23 and vertical grooves 24 not only improves the stacking stability of the digital tubes but also prevents them from shaking and colliding with each other, effectively reducing the risk of damage during transportation.

[0039] After transportation, the operator only needs to remove the protective component 2 from the digital tube 1 to restore the digital tube to normal operation. Since the protective component 2 is fixed by magnetic adsorption, the installation and removal processes are very convenient and require no additional tools, greatly improving the transportation convenience and protection effect of the digital tube.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly.
