Abstract

A LED display unit comprises a housing; an openable door coupled to a front of the housing for movement between a closed position and an opened position; a LED module mounted on a front of the openable door; and a sliding assembly coupled to an inside surface of the housing and an inside surface of the front door comprising: a first connection member fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the housing, a second connection member fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the front door, a sliding member slidely mounted to the first connection member and rotatably connected with the second connection member, so that the sliding member can move forward from the housing and rotate relative to the openable door so as to open the openable door.

Claims

1. A LED display unit, comprising:

a housing,

an openable door coupled to a front of the housing for movement between a closed position and an opened position,

a LED module mounted on a front of the openable door, and

a sliding assembly coupled between an inside surface of the housing and an inside surface of the openable door,

wherein the sliding assembly can enable the openable door to be slidely moved forward and then rotated so as to be opened.

2. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 1, wherein the sliding assembly comprises a first connection member fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the housing, a second connection member fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the front door, a sliding member slidely connected with the first member and rotatably connected with the connection member, so that the sliding member can move forward from the housing and rotate relative to the openable door so as to open the openable door.

3. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 2, wherein the first connection member is elongated shape having one end fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the housing and the other end extending outwardly, and has two tracks provided on both elongated inner edges of the first connection member.

4. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 3, wherein each track comprises a plurality of balls aligned along the inner edge of the first connection member for the sliding member to smoothly slide thereon.

5. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 4, wherein the sliding member comprises a first sliding member engaged between the two tracks of the first connection member to slide along the first connection member via the tracks, a second sliding member mounted between both inner edges of the first sliding member, and two rails engaged between the first sliding member and the second sliding member at both sides thereof respectively, so that the second sliding member can slide along the first sliding member via the rails.

6. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 5, wherein each rail comprises two rows of balls at both sides of the rail for engaging with the first sliding member and the second sliding member respectively, so that the second sliding member can slide along the first sliding member.

7. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 6, wherein the sliding assembly further comprises a shaft rotatably connecting the second sliding member and the second connection member, so that the second sliding member and the second connection member can rotate relative to each other around the shaft.

8. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 7, wherein the second sliding member further comprises a positioning device extending from a side thereof for retaining the second sliding member on the openable door to a predetermined extend when being pulled away from the housing.

9. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 8, wherein a length of the first sliding member is ranging from 10 cm to 20 cm,

10. The LED display unit, as recited in claim 9, wherein a rotation angle of the openable front door is ranging from 75 to 125 degree.

11. A LED display panel comprising a plurality of display units connected together, each display unit comprising:

a housing,

an openable door coupled to a front of the housing for movement between a closed position and an opened position,

a LED module mounted on a front of the openable door, and

a sliding assembly coupled between an inside surface of the housing and an inside surface of the openable door,

wherein the sliding assembly can enable the openable door to be slidely moved forward and then rotated so as to be opened.

12. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 11, wherein the sliding assembly comprises a first connection member fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the housing, a second connection member fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the front door, a sliding member slidely connected with the first member and rotatably connected with the connection member, so that the sliding member can move forward from the housing and rotate relative to the openable door so as to open the openable door.

13. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 12, wherein the first connection member is elongated shape having one end fixedly mounted to an inside surface of the housing and the other end extending outwardly, and has two tracks provided on both elongated inner edges of the first connection member.

14. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 13, wherein each track comprises a plurality of balls aligned along the inner edge of the first connection member for the sliding member to smoothly slide thereon.

15. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 14, wherein the sliding member comprises a first sliding member engaged between the two tracks of the first connection member to slide along the first connection member via the tracks, a second sliding member mounted between both inner edges of the first sliding member, and two rails engaged between the first sliding member and the second sliding member at both sides thereof respectively, so that the second sliding member can slide along the first sliding member via the rails.

16. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 15, wherein each rail comprises two rows of balls at both sides of the rail for engaging with the first sliding member and the second sliding member respectively, so that the second sliding member can slide along the first sliding member.

17. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 16, wherein the sliding assembly further comprises a shaft rotatably connecting the second sliding member and the second connection member, so that the second sliding member and the second connection member can rotate relative to each other around the shaft.

18. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 17, wherein the second sliding member further comprises a positioning device extending from a side thereof for retaining the second sliding member on the openable door to a predetermined extend when being pulled away from the housing.

19. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 18, wherein a length of the first sliding member is ranging from 10 cm to 20 cm,

20. The LED display panel, as recited in claim 19, wherein a rotation angle of the openable front door is ranging from 75 to 125 degree.
