Each of two ends of the handle 4 is connected with a fixing base 2, and the fixing base 2, the sliding piece 1 and the limiting assemblies 5 correspond to each other one by one. When in use, the two connecting bases 3 are connected to the LED display module 81 by screws. An end of the sliding piece 1 away from the fixing base 2 is provided with a limiting pins 12, and an end of the fixing base 2 away from the sliding piece 1 is provided with a limiting pins 12. The connecting base 3 is provided with a curved groove 31 that fits with the limiting pins 12 to limit the rotation stroke of the connecting base 3. When the curvature of the LED display module 81 needs change, force is applied to the pressing piece 41 to make the pressing piece 41 to move in a direction close to the handle 4, to drive the limiting assembly 5 to retract into the handle 4, that is, the limiting assembly 5 is no longer abutted against the sliding piece 1, and then the sliding piece 1 can be pulled to make the two connecting bases 3 to move away from or close to each other, the curvature of the LED display module 81 can thus be adjusted, then the pressing piece 41 can be released, so that the limiting assembly 5 can extend into the fixing base 2 and abut against the sliding piece 1, the sliding piece 1 is prevented from sliding relative to the fixing base 2, to lock the curvature of the LED display module 81.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, the limiting assembly 5 includes a first elastic piece 51 and a limiting rod 52, one end of the first elastic piece 51 is abutted against the limiting rod 52, another end of the first elastic piece is abutted against the handle 4 to drive one end of the limiting rod 52 into the fixing base 2 for abutting against the sliding piece 1. In the embodiment, the first elastic piece 51 is a spring. When the pressing piece 41 is forced to move towards the handle 4, the limiting rod 52 will be driven by the pressing piece 41 to retract into the handle 4, and the first elastic piece 51 is pressed at this time. When the pressing piece 41 is released, the first elastic piece 51 will apply an elastic force on the limiting rod 52 to drive one end of the limiting rod 52 to extend into the fixing base 2 until it abuts against the sliding piece 1, so that the limiting rod 52 automatically resets.

When the pressing piece 41 moves towards the handle 4, the driving slope 421 will abut against the fitting portion 521, to apply a force in a direction away from the fixing base 2 on the fitting portion 521, to drive the limiting rod 52 to separate from the sliding piece 1, and the curvature of the display screen can be changed by adjusting the sliding piece 1. The driving connection between the pressing piece 41 and the limiting assembly 5 is simple, which is beneficial to improve the adjustment efficiency and reduce the production cost of the mechanism for adjusting the curvature of the display screen.

[0023] The side of the pressing piece 41 close to the handle 4 is provided with two driving bumps 42, and a side of the driving bump 42 away from the fixing base 2 is the driving slope 421, and the limiting assembly 5 is provided between the two driving bumps 42.

When the pressing piece 41 is forced to move towards the handle 4, the driving slope 421 on the pressing piece 41 is abutted against the fitting portion 521 to apply a component force on the limiting rod 52 in the direction away from the fixing base 2, to drive the limiting rod 52 to retract into the handle 4. Two driving bumps 42 apply force to the limiting assembly 5 at the same time, which can balance the force on both sides of the limiting assembly 5, so that it is conducive to preventing the limiting assembly 5 from deviation during the movement, to cause that the limiting assembly 5 cannot precisely abut against a preset position on the sliding piece 1.

When it is necessary to lock the relative positional relationship between the limiting rod 52 and the handle 4 to keep the limiting rod 52 in a state of abutting against the sliding piece 1 or away from the sliding piece 1, it is only necessary to rotate the locking piece 7, so that the abutting boss 71 on the locking piece 7 moves in a direction close to the handle 4 until abutting against the surface of the handle 4, then the friction between the abutting boss 71 and the handle 4 can be used to prevent the limiting rod 52 from moving continuously, so that the mechanism for adjusting the curvature of the display screen can keep in a locked state or freely adjustable state.
