Abstract

The present invention provides a display panel storing device, having a framework; two support frames, which are opposite to each other and slidably connected to the framework, for supporting a display panel therebetween; and a driving unit for driving the two support frames to move towards or away from each other to change the distance between the two support frames. The display panel storing device can simplify the adjustment procedure, increase efficiency, and reduce manpower cost, and is unnecessary to detect the symmetry of the two support frames.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display panel storing device, comprising:
a framework;
two support frames, which are opposite to each other and slidably connected to the framework, for supporting a display panel therebetween; and
a driving unit for driving the two support frames to move towards or away from each other to change the distance between the two support frames,
wherein the driving unit is provided between the two support frames for easy operation and simple structure, and
wherein the driving unit includes a first driver provided at the framework's top, and a second driver provided at the framework's bottom, and the first driver is provided on a fixing plate arranged on the top of the framework, and the second driver is provided on a fixing plate arranged on the bottom of the framework.

2. The display panel storing device of claim 1 , wherein each of the support frames includes: a top positioning strip slidably connected to the top of the framework; a bottom positioning strip slidably connected to the bottom of the framework; and at least one support pillar connected between the top positioning strip and the bottom positioning strip, each support pillar provided with support rods for carrying the display panel.

3. The display panel storing device of claim 2 , wherein one of the two support frames has at least one support pillar, and the other one of the two support frames has at least two support pillars.

4. The display panel storing device of claim 2 , wherein the first driver is used for driving the top positioning strips of the two support frames to move towards or away from each other, and the second driver is used for driving the bottom positioning strips of the two support frames to move towards or away from each other.

5. The display panel storing device of claim 4 , wherein the first driver and the second driver operate synchronously.

6. The display panel storing device of claim 4 , wherein the first driver is connected to the top positioning strips of the two support frames through respective first transmission parts, and the second driver is connected to the bottom positioning strips of the two support frames through respective second transmission parts.

7. The display panel storing device of claim 6 , wherein the first driver and the second driver are gears, and the first transmission parts and the second transmission parts are racks.

8. The display panel storing device of claim 7 , wherein each of the gears is provided with a knob for rotating the gear.

9. The display panel storing device of claim 4 , further comprising locking parts for locking the first driver and the second driver respectively to prevent the first driver and the second driver from driving the top positioning strips of the two support frames to move towards or away from each other, and the bottom positioning strips of the support frames from moving towards or away from each other.

10. The display panel storing device of claim 6 , wherein the fixing plate provided at the top of the framework and the fixing plate provided at the bottom of the framework are arranged along a direction in which the top positioning strips move towards or away from each other and along a direction in which the bottom positioning strips move towards or away from each other, respectively.

11. The display panel storing device of claim 10 , wherein each of the fixing plates and the transmission parts are provided with a scaleplate.

12. The display panel storing device of claim 4 , wherein the first driver and the second driver are provided at centers of the top and bottom of the framework, respectively.
