Abstract

A frame structure, a method for manufacturing the same and a device is provided. The frame structure includes at least one frame bar, an injection cavity and a plastic material; the injection cavity is located in an interior of the frame bar and extends in a length direction of the frame bar, and the plastic material is filled in the injection cavity, wherein an expansion coefficient of the plastic material is lower than an expansion coefficient of the material from which the frame bar is made.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A frame structure, comprising:
at least one frame bar;
an injection cavity that is located in an interior of the frame bar and extends in a length direction of the frame bar; and
a plastic material filled in the injection cavity;
wherein an expansion coefficient of the plastic material is lower than an expansion coefficient of a material from which the frame bar is made,
wherein at least in one local area, a cross-section perpendicular to an extending direction of the injection cavity is non-uniform;
wherein the injection cavity comprises:
a plurality of connection cavities; and
a plurality of node cavities, each connecting the connection cavities adjacent to each other, wherein a cross-section of each node cavity is larger than a cross-section of the connection cavity;

wherein the node cavity is provided with an injection hole having an opening direction intersected with extending direction of the injection cavity.

2. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein the expansion coefficient comprises at least one of a moisture expansion coefficient, a thermal expansion coefficient, and a volume expansion coefficient.

3. The frame structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a screw connected with the frame bar through the node cavity along the injection hole.

4. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic material comprises polycarbonate.

5. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the injection cavity is covered with a smoothing agent.

6. The frame structure according to claim 1 , wherein there are a plurality of injection cavities that are distributed in parallel with the frame bar at interval.

7. A device, comprising a display panel, the display panel having a frame structure according to claim 1 .

8. A method for manufacturing the frame structure according to claim 1 , comprising
forming an injection cavity extending in a length direction of the frame bar in an interior of the frame bar;
injecting a plastic material into the injection cavity, an expansion coefficient of the plastic material being lower than an expansion coefficient of the material from which the frame bar is made; and
forming the frame bar into the frame structure,
wherein the step of forming the injection cavity extending along the length direction of the frame bar in the frame bar comprises:
at least in one local area, forming a cross-section perpendicular to an extending direction of the injection cavity into a non-uniform structure;
wherein the step of at least in one local area, forming the cross-section perpendicular to the extending direction of the injection cavity into the non-uniform structure comprises:
forming a through hole extending in a length direction of the frame bar; and
forming a plurality of node cavities with increasing cross-section in the through hole, a portion of the through hole located between the node cavities adjacent to each other is a connection cavity;
wherein the step of injecting the plastic material into the injection cavity comprises:
forming an injection hole having an opening direction intersected with the extending direction of the injection cavity on the node cavity, and injecting the injection cavity through the injection hole.

9. The method for manufacturing the frame structure according to claim 8 , further comprising performing smooth processing to the injection cavity after forming the injection cavity extending the length direction of the frame bar in the interior of the frame bar.

10. The method for manufacturing the frame structure according to claim 9 , wherein the step of performing smooth processing to the injection cavity comprises:
grinding the injection cavity; and
applying a smoothing agent onto the injection cavity.

11. The method for manufacturing the frame structure according to claim 8 , further comprising:
maintaining pressure of an outer surface of the frame bar prior to injecting the plastic material into the injection cavity.

12. The method for manufacturing the frame structure according to claim 8 , further comprising:
trimming for a cross-section of the frame bar and chamfering for edge of the frame bar after injecting the plastic material into the injection cavity.
