Abstract

A display screen and a curvature adjusting mechanism. The display screen comprises the curvature adjusting mechanism. The curvature adjusting mechanism comprises a first unit (1), a first sliding block (3), a second sliding block (4), and a second unit (2). The first sliding block (3) and the second sliding block (4) are fixedly connected to the first unit (1). The second unit (2) is provided with a first arc-shaped groove (6) and a second arc-shaped groove (7), and the circle centers of the first arc-shaped groove (6) and the second arc-shaped groove (7) do not overlap. The first sliding block (3) can slide in the first arc-shaped groove (6), and the second sliding block (4) can slide in the second arc-shaped groove (7). The sliding of the first unit (6) and the second unit (7) is limited by using two arc-shaped grooves having different circle centers, such that the problem that a display screen is not in an ideal arc shape when the curvature of the display screen is adjusted by using a single arc-shaped groove can be solved.

Today’s arc-shaped screens generally adjust the curvature of the curved screen through a curvature adjustment mechanism behind the screen. For example, a patent, with application number 202022600971.3, and titled in an arc-shaped splicing mechanism and an arc-shaped display screen, changes the curvature of the display screen by relative sliding of the first splicing body and the second splicing body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easier to understand, the specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific implementation disclosed below. It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed to” another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an element located in between. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may be present. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terms used in the description of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Referring to FIGs. 3 and 4, a display screen includes a curvature adjustment mechanism, which includes a first unit 1, a second unit 2, a first slider 3 and a second slider 4. The first slider 3 and the second slider 4 are fixedly connected to the first unit 1; the second unit 2 is provided with a first arcuate groove 6 and a second arcuate groove 7, and the centers of the first arcuate groove 6 and the second arcuate groove 7 do not overlap; the first slider 3 is able to slide in the first arcuate groove 6, and the second slider 4 is able to slide in the second arcuate groove 7. The use of eccentric double arcuate grooves to limit the sliding of the first unit 1 and the second unit 2 can solve the problem that when the curvature of the display screen is adjusted with a single arcuate groove, the display screen is not in an ideal curvature. Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the first arcuate groove 6 and the second arcuate groove 7 are determined by taking a first point and a second point on the second unit 2, where: when the curvature of the display screen is O degrees, the first point is at position A9, and the second point is at position El2; when the curvature of the display screen is X degrees, the first point is at position BIO and the second point is at position F13; and when the curvature of the display screen is -X degrees, the first point is at position Cl 1 and the second point is at position G14; where, the arc line L18 formed by connecting the position A9, the position BIO and the position Cl 1 is on the same circle as the first arcuate groove 6; the arc line M19 formed by connecting the position E12, the position F13, and the position G14 is on the same circle as the second arcuate groove 7. The arc line LI 8 is the ideal trajectory of the first point changing from -X degrees to X degrees. Since the first arcuate groove 6 and the arc line LI8 are on the same circle, the first arcuate groove 6 is also the ideal trajectory of the display screen changing from -X degrees to X degrees. The arc line M19 is the ideal trajectory of the second point changing from -X degrees to X degrees. Since the second arcuate groove 7 and the arc line Ml9 are on the same circle, the second arcuate groove 7 is also the ideal trajectory of the display screen changing from -X degrees to X degrees. When adjusting the curvature of the display screen, the first arcuate groove 6 and the second arcuate groove 7 will simultaneously limit the deformation of the display screen, thereby preventing a part of the display screen from bending when adjusting the curvature of the display screen. Referring to FIGs. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, a third slider 5 is fixedly provided on the first unit 1, and the second unit 2 is provided with a third arcuate groove 8, and the third slider 5 is able to slide in the third arcuate groove 8; the centers of the first arcuate groove 6, the second arcuate groove 7 and the third arcuate groove 8 do not overlap. Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the third arcuate groove 8 is determined by taking a third point on the second unit 2, where: when the curvature of the display screen is O degrees, the third point is at position H15; when the curvature of the display screen is X degrees, the third point is at position 116; and when the curvature of the display screen is -X degrees, the third point is at position J17; where, the arc line N20 formed by connecting the position Hl 5, the position 116, and the position JI7 is on the same circle as the third arcuate groove 8. The arc line N20 is the ideal trajectory of the third point changing from -X degrees to X degrees. Since the third arcuate groove 8 and the arc line N20 are on the same circle, the third arcuate groove 8 is also the ideal trajectory of the display screen changing from -X degrees to X degrees. When adjusting the curvature of the display screen, the first arcuate groove 6, the second arcuate groove 7 and the third arcuate groove 8 will simultaneously limit the deformation of the display screen, because three points determine one surface, thereby preventing a part of the display screen from bending when adjusting the curvature of the display screen.
