Please refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C and FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D at the same time. The panel assembly structure of the present invention is suitable for assembling a liquid crystal display panel 20 on the inner surface 12a of a panel cover 12 of a notebook computer. The liquid crystal display panel 20 has a first side 22 and a second side 24 parallel to each other, and a first panel screw hole 22a and a second panel screw hole are respectively provided on the first side 22 and the second side 24 (in the figure not shown). The panel assembly structure of this embodiment mainly includes a first connecting portion 110 , a first bolt 120 , a second connecting portion 130 and a second bolt 140 .

The first connecting portion 110 is integrally formed on the inner surface 12a of the panel cover 12 and extends to the first side 22 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 , and has a first connecting through hole 112 for the first bolt 120 For wearing. The first bolt 120 is locked into the first connecting through hole 112 of the first connecting portion 110 and the first panel screw hole 22a of the liquid crystal display panel 20, so as to connect the first connecting portion 110 formed on the panel cover 12 to the liquid crystal display panel. The first sides 22 of the panels 20 are locked together.

Similarly, the second connecting portion 130 is integrally formed on the inner surface 12a of the panel cover 12 and extends to the second side 24 of the liquid crystal display panel 20, and has a second connecting through hole 132 for the second connecting portion 132. Two bolts 140 are used for piercing. The second bolt 140 is locked into the second connecting through hole 132 of the second connecting portion 130 and the second panel screw hole (not shown in the figure) of the liquid crystal display panel 20, so that the second screw hole formed on the panel cover 12 The connecting portion 130 is locked together with the second side 24 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 .

In this way, the liquid crystal display panel 20 can be fixed on the panel cover 12 through the cooperation of these connecting parts 110 and 130 and these bolts 120 and 140, so a pair of known techniques for fixing the liquid crystal display panel can be omitted. Secures to the frame on the chassis, thereby reducing the weight of the notebook computer.

In this embodiment, the positions and numbers of the connecting parts and bolts are not limited in any way. In addition, the first connecting parts 110 or the second connecting parts 130 can also be connected to each other by the supporting ribs 150 to increase their structural strength.

In order to absorb the tolerance on the width of the liquid crystal display panel 20, and to prevent the force from being concentrated on the front end of the bolt 120 during the locking process, the frame 30 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 will be damaged, or even twisted to cause water ripples in the liquid crystal display panel 20. , so in an embodiment of the present invention, an elastic washer 160 can be selectively arranged between the first connecting portion 110 and the first side 22 of the liquid crystal display panel 20, and the bolt 120 can be locked by the elastic washer 160 The solid force is converted from a single-point force to a plane force, and then evenly distributed on the frame 30 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 to ensure the safety of the liquid crystal display panel 20 . The elastic washer 160 has a sleeve 162 passing through the first connecting through hole 112 , and the sleeve 162 further has a washer through hole 164 . When the second side 24 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 has been fixed on the second connecting portion 130 and the first side 22 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 is to be fixed on the panel cover 12, the first bolts 120 are sequentially locked into the first connecting through holes 112 , the washer through hole 164 and the first panel screw hole 22a. The elastic washer 160 is locked to the liquid crystal display panel 20 by means of the first bolt 120, so that the sleeve 162 of the elastic washer 160 can slide in the first connection through hole 112, so it can absorb the width of the liquid crystal display panel 20 on the tolerance.

In order to temporarily fix the elastic washer 160 on the first connecting portion 110 before combining the first connecting portion 110 and the elastic washer 160, the two ends of the elastic washer 160 can be respectively provided with a first engaging portion 166, The two ends of the first connecting portion 110 can respectively be provided with a second engaging portion 114 corresponding to the first engaging portion 166, and these second engaging portions 114 are adapted to engage with the corresponding first engaging portions respectively. The joint portion 166 is used to limit the position of the elastic washer 160 relative to the first connecting portion 110 , so as to temporarily fix the elastic washer 160 to the first connecting portion 110 .

In addition, in order to provide proper stress buffering to protect the liquid crystal display panel 20 from being damaged, and to further disperse the force exerted by the bolt 120 on the liquid crystal display panel 20 , the present invention can be used between the elastic gasket 160 and the first connecting portion 110 A buffer assembly 170 is disposed therebetween, which has a buffer through hole 172 . The buffer component 170 is inserted into the outer edge of the sleeve 162 through the buffer through hole 172 , so that it is located between the elastic washer 160 and the first connecting portion 110 . The buffer component 170 mentioned above can be a spring, a rubber body or other elastic components.

FIGS. 4A and 4B are partial top views of the frame of the liquid crystal display panel locked by the first bolt, the elastic washer and the buffer component respectively when the width of the liquid crystal display panel is narrow and wide. 4A and 4B, it can be seen that when the width of the liquid crystal display panel 20 assembled on the panel cover is narrow, the buffer assembly 170 will not be subject to any compression, and the first engaging portions 166 at both ends of the elastic gasket 160 are clamped. Buckled on the second engaging portion 114 of the first connecting portion 110; on the contrary, when the width of the liquid crystal display panel 20 is wider, the elastic gasket 160 will move toward the direction of the first connecting portion 110, and press the buffer assembly 170 deform it. The present invention absorbs the tolerance in the width of the liquid crystal display panel 20 through the arrangement of the elastic spacer 160 and the buffer component 170 .

In addition, in another embodiment of the present invention that is not shown in the figure, the above-mentioned buffer component 170 can be directly disposed between the first side 22 of the liquid crystal display panel 20 and the first connecting portion 110, and the above-mentioned buffer assembly 170 can be omitted. The elastic gasket 160. Therefore, when the first bolt 120 passes through the first connection through hole 112 and the buffer through hole 172 to lock into the first panel screw hole 22a, the buffer component 170 can also absorb the width tolerance of the liquid crystal display panel 20 at the same time.

To sum up, the panel assembly structure of the present invention fixes the liquid crystal display panel on the panel cover through the combination of a plurality of connecting parts and a plurality of bolts directly formed on the panel cover of the electronic device, so the conventional A pair of frames for fixing the panel to the casing, thereby reducing the weight of the components used for fixing the panel, so that the design of the electronic device can be developed towards a lightweight direction.

In addition, in the present invention, an elastic spacer can be optionally provided between the first connecting portion and the side of the panel to absorb the tolerance in the width of the panel. Furthermore, in the present invention, a buffer assembly can be selectively provided between the elastic gasket and the above-mentioned first connection part, or a buffer assembly can be provided directly between the side of the panel and the connection part to provide appropriate stress. Cushioning to protect the panel from damage.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with an embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention The scope of protection shall prevail as defined by the scope of protection of the appended claims.
