Support structure formed on the substrate

The present invention relates to a support structure, and more particularly to a support structure formed on a substrate.

The LCD monitor module includes a front cover and a rear cover. The front cover and the rear cover cover the internal electronic components of the LCD module, such as a liquid crystal panel (panel), a circuit board, etc., to protect the liquid crystal display mode. The internal electronic components of the group form the appearance of the electronic components, and the interior of the liquid crystal display module further includes a metal cover for shielding the internal electronic components. With the development of the industry, LCD screen modules are moving toward lowering production costs and lighter weight, and reducing the thickness of the metal cover is one of the feasible solutions for reducing production costs.

In general, in addition to shielding the internal electronic components of the liquid crystal display module, the metal cover plate additionally needs to be provided with a fixing structure to support and fix the circuit board. A conventional fixing structure for supporting and fixing a circuit board is a bent structure which can be formed in a stamped manner on a metal cover. However, the structural design of reducing the thickness of the metal cover plate tends to cause insufficient structural strength of the bent structure (ie, the fixed structure) formed by punching, so that the fixed structure cannot effectively support the circuit board.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a support structure that provides sufficient support functions to solve the above problems.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention discloses a support structure formed on a substrate, which comprises a main wall body, a first side wall, a second side wall and a plurality of fixing structures. The main wall body is bent and protrudes from the substrate, and the main wall body has a first side and a second side. The first side wall is bent and connected to the first side of the main wall body, and the first side wall has a bottom side for abutting the substrate One of the first abuts the side. The second side wall is bent and connected to the second side of the main wall body, and the second side wall has a second abutting side for abutting against one of the substrates. The plurality of fixing structures respectively protrude from the first sidewall and the second sidewall, and the plurality of fixing structures are configured to fix the first sidewall and the second sidewall on the substrate.

In summary, the fixing structure of the support structure of the present invention extends from the first side wall and the second side wall, and the fixing structure is respectively used for bonding or inserting into the substrate, whereby the fixing structure can connect the main wall body and the first side wall with The second side wall is further fixed on the substrate, thereby increasing the structural rigidity of the support structure as a whole relative to the substrate to effectively support the object. The above and other technical contents, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention.
