Back plate assembly with variable curvatures and backlight unit thereof
View Patent ↗A back plate assembly with variable curvatures is disclosed. It comprises a flexible back plate, a connecting component, and an adjustment mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism comprises a connecting shaft disposed on the back plate, and the connecting component connects to the connecting shaft and abuts to the back plate, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts the connecting component on the connecting shaft to modulate clamping force of the back plate received from the connecting component. The back plate assembly can adapt to the backlight units and the display devices with different curvatures based on the requirement of the bend degree. Many kind of the back plate assemblies do not need to be manufactured to fit the backlight unit and the display device having different curvatures.

wherein a middle portion of the connecting component connects to the connecting shaft and two ends of the connecting component abuts to back side of the flexible back plate, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts position where the middle portion of the connecting component is located on the connecting shaft;
the connecting component comprises two connecting arms, a fixing plate, two moving plates and a moving block;
the fixing plate is disposed on the connecting shaft mounted on back side of the flexible back plate; and
the two moving plates are respectively hinged with two opposite side faces of the fixing plate; the moving block is set on the connecting shaft and moves along an axial of the two moving plates; one end of the two connecting arms is hinged with the moving block and another end of the two connecting arms is hinged with the two moving plates.
2. The back plate assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one end of the connecting shaft is attached rotatably to the flexible back plate, and another end of the connecting shaft is attached to a thread of the moving block, and the adjustment mechanism further comprises a driven module connecting to the connecting shaft, and the driven module powers the connecting shaft turning to move the moving block along an axial of the connecting shaft.
3. The back plate assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a driven mechanism comprises a driving gear, and a driven gear is disposed on the connecting shaft, and the driven mechanism drives the driven gear rotating.
4. A backlight unit, comprising a backlight module and a back plate component with variable curvatures, the back plate component comprises a flexible back plate, a connecting component, and an adjustment mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism comprises a connecting shaft disposed on the flexible back plate, and the connecting component connects to the connecting shaft and abuts to the flexible back plate, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts the connecting component on the connecting shaft to modulate clamping force of the flexible back plate received from the connecting component;
wherein a middle portion of the connecting component connects to the connecting shaft, and two ends of the connecting component abuts to back side of the flexible back plate, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts position;
where the middle portion of the connecting component is located on the connecting shaft;
the connecting component comprises two connecting arms, a fixing plate, two moving plates and a moving block,
the fixing plate is set in the connecting shaft mounted on back side of the flexible back plate; and
the two moving plates are respectively hinged with two opposite side faces of the fixing plate; the moving block is set on the connecting shaft and moves along an axial of the two moving plates; one end of the two connecting arms is hinged with the moving block and another end of the two connecting arms is hinged with the two moving plates.
5. The backlight unit as claimed in claim 4 , wherein one end of the connecting shaft is attached rotatably to the flexible back plate, and another end of the connecting shaft is attached to a thread of the moving block, and the adjustment mechanism further comprises a driven module connecting to the connecting shaft, and the driven module powers the connecting shaft turning to move the moving block along an axial of the connecting shaft.
6. The backlight unit as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a driven mechanism comprises a driving gear, and a driven gear is disposed on the connecting shaft, and the driven mechanism drives the driven gear rotating.
