LED screen comprising spring retainers for LED modules
View Patent ↗Embodiments relate to a light emitting diode (LED) screen that includes a mounting frame; a plurality of LED modules arranged at said mounting frame, said LED modules comprises a plurality of LED pixels arranged in an array, and a plurality of retention systems configured to securing at least one of said LED module to said mounting frame. At least one of said retention systems comprises a male part, a female part adapted to receive said male part and a retention spring, said retention spring is movable between a retaining position and a non-retaining position, where, in said retaining position, said retention spring is configured to engage said male part and to provide a retaining force to said male part, said retaining force presses said mounting frame and said LED module together.
1. A light-emitting diode (LED) screen, comprising:
a mounting frame;
a plurality of LED modules arranged on said mounting frame, each of said LED modules including a plurality of LED pixels arranged in an array; and
a plurality of retention systems configured to secure at least one of said LED module to said mounting frame,
wherein at least one of said retention systems comprises a male part, a female part adapted to receive said male part, and a retention spring, said retention spring being movable between a retaining position and a non-retaining position, wherein, in said retaining position, said retention spring is configured to engage said male part and to provide a retaining force to said male part that presses said mounting frame and said LED module together,
wherein said female part comprises a retention hole in a retention plate, and said male part comprises a retention pin configured to fit into said retention hole, said retention pin having at least one furrow formed therein, and said retention spring is configured to fit into said furrow to provide, in said retaining position, said retaining force between said retention pin and said retention plate,
wherein said retention spring comprises two resilient retention fingers configured to engage said furrow at opposite sides of said retention pin.
2. The LED screen according to claim 1 , wherein said retention plate is secured to a base part, and said retention spring is movably arranged between said retention plate and said base part.
3. The LED screen according to claim 2 , wherein said base part comprises an accommodating hole configured to accommodate an upper part of said retention pin.
4. The LED screen according to claim 1 , wherein said retention spring comprises at least one locking mechanism, said locking mechanism configured to lock said retention spring in said retention position.
5. The LED screen according to claim 1 , wherein retention springs of at least two retention systems are interconnected and can be moved simultaneously between respective retaining positions and respective non-retaining positions.
6. The LED screen according to claim 1 , wherein at least one LED module is electronically connected to said mounting frame through an electronic connector.
7. The LED screen according to claim 6 , wherein at least two retention systems are arranged proximate to said electronic connector and at opposite sides of said electronic connector.
8. The LED screen according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of said retention systems are configured to secure opposite ends of at least one LED module to said mounting frame.
