Abstract

A film-carrying system and a film-carrying device used therein are provided. The film-carrying system includes a support base, a film-carrying device and a film. The film-carrying device includes a support connection part, an elastic part, and a film connection part. The support connection part is coupled to the support base while the film connection part is coupled to the film. The elastic part has a free end and a fixed end; the free end connects to the film connection part, and the fixed end connects to the support connection part. The elastic deformation of the elastic part provides the film connection part with a degree of freedom in linear displacement, and the film connection part also has a degree of freedom in angular displacement corresponding to the support connection part.

Claims

1. A film-carrying system, comprising:

a support base;

a film-carrying device, comprising;

at least one support connection part connecting to the support base;

an elastic part extending out from the support connection part and having a fixed end and a free end, the fixed end is connected to the support connection part, wherein the free end produces a displacement relative to the fixed end when the elastic part undergoes elastic deformation; and

a film connection part connecting to the free end of the elastic part;

wherein when the elastic part undergoes elastic deformation, the film connection part has a degree of freedom in linear displacement relative to the support base and also a degree of freedom in angular displacement relative to the support base, the elastic part includes a first curving section, and the two ends of the first curving section are connected to the support connection part and the film connection part respectively; and

at least one film connecting to the film connection part.

2. The film-carrying system according claim 1, wherein the elastic part further includes a second curving section, the two ends of the second curving section are connected to the support connection part and the film connection part respectively, and the second curving section, the support connection part, the film connection part, and the first curving section together form a closed loop structure.

3. A film-carrying system, comprising:

a support base;

a film-carrying device, comprising;

at least one support connection part connecting to the support base;
