ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a display device, and more particularly, to a slide way mounting for fixing a motherboard module of the display device.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As high-tech industries progress in the recent years, development of related products is also growing at a fast pace in order to meet various commercial demands. The research direction of these products has gradually shifted towards developing additional functions; thus, many additional devices along with free I/O ports are integrated into the products. At the same time, products have to meet the trend of being light-weighted and slim in order to fit into the limited space. For example, a display device is largely occupied by a projection system within; it is difficult to fit any additional devices in the already narrow space. Problem such as this and difficulty in installation/repair have become an important research topic in the industries.
Please refer to
FIG. 1
for a display device according to prior art. The display device
1
comprises a display panel
11
on the front of a base
10
. The display panel
11
is connected to a screen
12
which has a projection system
13
on the back of the screen
12
. Specifically, the projection system
13
is situated on top of a rear case
14
which behind the base
10
. Included on the base plate
17
of the rear case
14
is a major control device
15
with its backside fixed to a motherboard module
16
.
A schematic diagram of the fixed motherboard module
16
in the display device
1
is shown in FIG.
2
. In the display device
1
, multiple screw holes (not shown) are drilled at suitable locations on the side of the major control device
15
and the base plate
17
. Corresponding screw holes (not shown) are also drilled on the protruding plate
161
in the motherboard module
16
. Screws
162
are then fastened through the protruding plate
161
onto the side of the major control device
15
and the base plate
17
. This allows the motherboard module
16
to be fixed on the base plate
17
. However, when additional devices are closely connected to the rear case
14
, it is fairly difficult to perform installation/disassembly with a screwdriver since there is little room left for the maneuver. During after-sales services in particular, one often has to rely on experience and sense of touch because vision is easily impaired by the small amount of space in the rear case
14
. It not only takes more time to fasten the screws but reduces efficiency in installation or repair. Consequently, simple and speedy installation/disassembly could not be achieved in this kind of prior art.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fixture device with slide way for a motherboard module. This allows quick and precise mounting of the motherboard module to the base plate, increasing the overall efficiency in installation or repair.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a fixture device with a type of fixing plate and locating button for a motherboard module. In this case, the motherboard module can be easily mounted in the least amount of time without using much test fixtures.
In order to meet the above objectives, the fixture device for motherboard module by placing two fixing plates on the locational surface of a major control device. A Π-shaped slide with the same width as the motherboard module is formed on the base plate below the fixing plate. Additionally, a locating button in front of the opening of the slide way is used to secure the motherboard module into the slide way. Through this approach, the motherboard module can be easily installed/disassembled by pressing the locating button without using any tools or test fixtures.
