Abstract

A fixing structure and a display device including said fixing structure are provided. The fixing structure includes a front shell, a frame and a connecting piece. The front shell includes a front surface frame and a connecting frame, said connecting frame having a front shell slot penetrating the connecting frame formed thereon. The frame includes a bottom frame and a vertical side frame perpendicular to the bottom frame, said vertical side frame having a frame slot penetrating the vertical side frame formed thereon. The connecting piece includes an insertion section that can be fitted and inserted into the front shell slot and the frame slot sequentially.

Claims

1. A fixing structure comprising:

a front shell, including a front surface frame and a connecting frame perpendicular to said front surface frame, wherein said connecting frame has a front shell slot penetrating the connecting frame foamed thereon, and further has a first clamping structure provided thereon;

a frame, including a bottom frame and a vertical side frame perpendicular to the bottom frame, wherein said vertical side frame has a frame slot penetrating the vertical side frame formed thereon and further has a second clamping structure provided thereon, said vertical side frame of the frame is arranged facing the connecting frame of the front shell, said front shell slot corresponds to said frame slot in position, and said first clamping structure fits and clamps with said second clamping structure;

a connector, including an insertion section that is configured to be fitted and inserted into the front shell slot and the frame slot sequentially.

2. The fixing structure according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of said front shell slots are formed on the connecting frame, and a plurality of said frame slots are formed on the vertical side frame, said plurality of front shell slots corresponding to said plurality of frame slots in a one-to-one manner, and there are a plurality of said connectors, whose insertion sections are respectively inserted into said corresponding front shell slots and frame slots in a one-to-one manner.

3. The fixing structure according to claim 2, wherein each of said connectors comprises two of said insertion sections.

4. The fixing structure according to claim 3, wherein a limiting rib is provided between two adjacent front shell slots on the connecting frame, and a recess is provided between two insertion sections of the connector, when said insertion section is inserted into the front shell slot and the frame slot, the limiting rib is located within the recess and in touch with an inner wall of the recess.

5. The fixing structure according to claim 1, wherein each of the connectors includes a fixing section, on which a mounting hole is thinned, and a fastener that can be fitted and connected to the mounting hole is provided on a back plate of the display device.

6. The fixing structure according to claim 1, wherein the fixing section abuts on an end face of the connecting fame near the back plate, and abuts on an end face of the vertical side frame near the back plate.

7. The fixing structure according to claim 6, wherein a sinking groove is formed on both the end face of the connecting fame near the back plate and the end face of the vertical side frame near the back plate, and the fixing section is located in the sinking slot.

8. The fixing structure according to claim 5, wherein the fixing section and the insertion section are integrated into one piece.

9. The fixing structure according to claim 8, wherein the connector is made by bending a plate.

10. The fixing structure according to claim 8, wherein the connector is made of a progressive mold.

11. A display device, comprising the fixing structure according to claim 1.

12. The fixing structure according to claim 6, wherein the fixing section and the insertion section are integrated into one piece.

13. The fixing structure according to claim 7, wherein the fixing section and the insertion section are integrated into one piece.

14.
