The present invention relates to a plasma display device, and more particularly, to a chassis base for supporting a plasma display panel (hereinafter referred to as PDP).

In general, a plasma display device displays an image by using a gas discharge phenomenon, and has excellent display capacity, brightness, contrast, viewing angle, and the like, and can realize a large screen with a thin and light weight. It is increasing.

Conventional plasma display apparatuses include a PDP in which a predetermined image is implemented, a chassis base on which the PDP is supported, a plurality of drive modules installed on opposite sides of the PDP on the chassis base and provided with various driving circuits, and the PDP. And a case that surrounds and protects the chassis base and the drive module.

The PDPs are coupled to each other so that two glass substrates maintain airtightness, and electrodes and phosphor layers are formed therein for realizing an image using gas discharge.

The chassis base supports the panel and at the same time performs a function of uniformly dissipating and dissipating high heat generated from the panel, and thus is mainly made of aluminum having good thermal conductivity and rigidity.

A thermal conductive medium such as a dissipation sheet for dissipating heat is installed between the chassis base and the PDP.

In addition, the chassis base is provided with a plurality of standoffs (standoff) to secure the printed circuit board and other structures that are the drive module.

On the other hand, in the plasma display device, since the PDP is formed of a glass substrate, the larger the screen is, the greater the weight thereof becomes, so that the strength of the chassis base supporting it becomes important.

In the above, the chassis base is mainly manufactured by die casting or press working. In the case of die casting, it is more reliable than press working in terms of strength. However, due to poor surface flatness, it is difficult to install heat dissipating sheets in close contact with each other. . Therefore, a chassis base manufactured by die casting is usually used for a small screen of 42 inches or less, and a chassis base that is pressed is mainly used for a large screen of 50 inches or more.

When the chassis base is manufactured by die casting, the isolation member is manufactured and installed integrally with the chassis base. However, when the chassis base is manufactured by pressing, the isolation member manufactured by pressing is separately installed on an aluminum plate by force injection. do.

FIG. 7 shows an example of an isolation member 4 installed by forced press in the chassis base 2.

The isolation member 4 has a cylindrical portion 5 formed with an outer diameter equal to or smaller than an assembly hole 3 formed in the chassis base 2, and has an outer diameter larger than the assembly hole 3, and has a large number on the outer circumferential surface thereof. It consists of the tooth part 8 in which the tooth is formed.

A fixing groove 7 is formed between the cylindrical portion 5 and the toothed portion 8 with a smaller outer diameter than the cylindrical portion 5, and the end portion of the cylindrical portion 5 is formed as an inclined surface 6. .

When the isolation member 4 constituted as described above is forcibly pressed into the assembly hole 3 from the inclined surface 6 and inserted into the chassis base 2, the assembly deformed by the teeth of the tooth portion 8. As the portion of the inner circumferential surface 3a of the hole 3 is pushed into the fixing groove 7, the isolation member 4 is fixedly installed so as not to be separated from the chassis base 2.

The isolation member 4 which is assembled and fixed as described above generally does not show any problem to support a printed circuit board which is fixed to the chassis base 2 or another fixing part requiring a dead load. In case of live load), there is a problem in reliability because of insufficient support.

Therefore, in order to give the isolation member 4 sufficient support to withstand live loads, it is necessary to increase the coupling force with the chassis base 2 by using a separate auxiliary member.

In this case, however, the assembly process and the number of parts increase, resulting in problems of lower productivity and higher costs.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a plasma display apparatus having an isolation member capable of ensuring sufficient bearing capacity even under dynamic loads.

And an isolation member installed in the chassis base including the crimped flanges.

The flanges include a main flange and an auxiliary flange having an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion and the deformable portion and opposed to each other with the chassis base interposed therebetween to be crimped and supported on the chassis base.

Between the flanges may be further formed with a reinforcing portion disposed in the assembling hole having an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the assembling hole.

In addition, a plurality of fixing protrusions may be formed on the main flange to prevent rotation thereof when the isolation member is coupled to the chassis base. At this time, this fixing projection is formed in a sharp shape at the end thereof.

In addition, on the surface of the isolation member facing the inner circumferential surface of the assembly hole, when the isolation member is coupled to the chassis base, a press-fit portion for preventing the rotation thereof may be further formed. Here, the press-in portion may be formed in a sawtooth shape.

In addition, the isolation member of the chassis base for plasma display device according to the present invention,

A cylindrical portion formed with an arbitrary outer diameter,

It is formed in succession to the cylindrical portion, and includes an inclined portion formed with an outer diameter larger than the cylindrical portion and a flange portion formed subsequent to the inclined portion and formed with an outer diameter larger than the inclined portion.

A reinforcement portion having an outer diameter larger than that of the cylindrical portion may be further formed between the inclined portion and the flange portion.

On the flange portion may be formed a plurality of fixing projections whose end is sharply formed.

The teeth along the circumference of the inclined portion may be further provided with a predetermined pattern and formed long in the longitudinal direction of the isolation member.

Between the inclined portion and the flange portion may be further formed a press-fitting portion having an outer circumferential surface is serrated.

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Here, the fastening hole 48 for fastening the bolt 32 or the like is formed in the isolation member 40 to fasten the drive module 30 or the structure, and the fastening hole 48 is formed in the fastening hole 48. Threads are formed.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the isolation member 40 formed as described above inserts the cylindrical portion 42 and the inclined portion 44 into the assembling hole 12 of the chassis base 10, thereby providing the flange portion 46. One side of is primarily coupled to one surface of the chassis base 10 in close contact.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3B, the inclined portion 44 is deformed under a separate mechanism such as the die 18. In this process, the inclined portion 44 is formed of the cylindrical portion 42.

As shown in FIG.

When the reinforcing portion 49 is formed as described above, when the isolation member 40 is primarily coupled to the assembly hole 12 in the manner described above, the reinforcing portion 49 is shown in Fig. 4B. As such, the insertion or press-fitting in the assembly hole 12 can achieve a more stable coupling state of the isolation member (40).

In this state, in the process of joining the inclined portion 44 to the die and changing the inclined portion 44 to the deformable portion and the auxiliary flange portion, it is possible to accurately fix its fixed position without causing shaking of the whole of the isolation member 40.
