Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a door panel with integrated audio system.
  • German utility model DE 200 07 958 U1 discloses cabinet-type furniture, shelf walls, wall panellings, or other furniture elements, wherein a visible surface of such furniture elements is used as a flat surface speaker and voice coils, plungers, or the like are mounted on the rear surface.
  • the visible side of the furniture is used as speaker, whereas the rear side serves for mounting the audio components.
  • a drawback of this arrangement is that sound can only be emitted to one side of the furniture element. Further, the sensitive movable parts of the voice coils or similar audio components can be easily damaged when they are mounted on a movable carrier that is moved too fast. While this may rarely occur in stationary furniture, this is a particular drawback in moveable carrier elements such as room doors, which are frequently opened, closed, slammed, etc. In particular in the latter case, the mounted audio elements suffer extreme accelerating forces that may easily damage these sensitive components.
  • a door which can emit sound towards both of its sides is known from EP 1 085 780 A2 .
  • Furnitures with holding means for a electronic device are for example known from WO 2008/027894 A2 , or US 2008/164226 A1 .
  • This document shows a household appliance like a refrigerator, wherein a holding means for an electronic device is mountable to the door of the appliance.
  • the door panel comprises a holding means for removably holding an electronic device capable of emitting audio signals.
  • the door panel of the invention in this aspect features a holder in the sense of a docking station, which may feature dimensions for any of the above-explained types of electronic devices that may be used for controlling the integrated audio system.
  • the inventive door panel is the ideal storage place for the above-mentioned electronic devices, or e.g. an iPad of Apple, Inc.
  • the wireless communication interface of the inventive door panel may comprise a repeater, adapted to amplify an existing wireless network, such as a home WLAN, thereby leading to an increased wireless coverage.
  • the holding means may be rotatable within the door panel to allow using the electronic device in at least a first and a second orientation.
  • the holding means may be rotatably connected to the door panel by at least one slide bearing. Accordingly, a user of the electronic device may freely rotate an electronic device inserted into the holding means and may thus use e.g. his/her iPad in portrait mode and / or landscape mode as desired. It will be appreciated that the electronic device preferably can be rotated to anywhere between 0° and 360° within the holding means to allow for particular flexibility.
  • the holding means of the invention is turnable within the door panel to allow a front side of the electronic device to be turned to both sides of the door panel.
  • the holding means may be turnably connected to the door panel by at least one pivot bearing. Accordingly, in addition or alternatively to the above-described feature of rotating the electronic device essentially in parallel to the surface of the door panel, this aspect concerns the turning of the electronic device essentially perpendicular to the door panel surface.
  • the electronic device may be turned "through" the door panel, so that a front side of the electronic device (typically featuring the user controls) may be viewed and controlled by a user from both sides of the door panel.
  • the electronic device used for controlling the integrated audio system of the door panel is always accessible to the user, regardless of whether the door is opened or closed.
  • the door panel may further comprise a power supply connectable to the electronic device upon insertion of the electronic device into the holding means. Accordingly, once attached to the holding means, the electronic device is preferably immediately supplied with electric power and thus recharged.

  • the control panel 1-4 preferably comprises a user interface comprising one or more interaction means, such as buttons, for allowing a user to set preferences of the door panel 1-2, such as the volume of the audio system, turn the entire sound functionality on and off and / or to selectively switch on and off the speaker functionality of each door side individually.
  • control panel 1-4 may comprise a further holding means for receiving a further electronic device, such as a mobile phone, which can be connected and recharged, while the needed cables can be received into the cable channels 4-4 explained above.
  • this additional electronic device may steer the integrated audio system 1-3 of the invention, preferably via a wireless communications link and the above-explained radio module 4-2.
  • control panel may be realized independent of the further aspects described herein in various embodiments of the present door panel 1-2.
  • Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of a carrier plate 5-1 of an exciter mounting module 7-1.
  • the bottom side (also referred to as adhesion or gluing side) of the carrier plate 5-1 is preferably flat.
  • the upper side of the carrier plate 5-1 of Fig. 5 comprises at least one exciter receiving area 5-2, a (mechanical) stopping means 5-3 and / or at least one spacing means 5-4 ( Fig. 5 shows six spacing means 5-4).
  • an exciter 6-1 is inserted into the exciter receiving area 5-2 of the carrier plate 5-1.
  • An exciter is one example of an audio source 6-1 and generally refers to a means for converting electrical impulses into acoustic waves, which can be mounted on top of a vibration-capable carrier element (the door panel 1-2 in the depicted embodiment) in order to stimulate a vibration of the carrier element, so that the latter emits sound.
  • a vibration-capable carrier element the door panel 1-2 in the depicted embodiment
  • an exciter 6-1 as disclosed in DE 10 2006 031 433 A1 may be used.
  • the exciter 6-1 is glued onto the carrier plate 5-1.
  • the exciter 6-1 When the exciter is connected to an audio amplifier via the connectors 6-2, the exciter 6-1 emits bending waves and stimulates vibrations of the material connected to the carrier plate 5-1. These vibrations result in audible sound. As a result, the carrier plate 5-1 (and thus the connected door panel 1-2) acts as a speaker membrane.
  • Fig. 7 shows an exciter mounting module 7-1, comprising two carrier plates 5-1 (cf. Figs. 5 and 6 ) with respective exciters 6-1 mounted thereon.
  • the carrier plates 5-1 are mounted in a mirrored manner and turned by 180° on top of each other and are preferably glued to form the exciter mounting module 7-1.
  • the exciter mounting module 7-1 of Fig. 7 is eventually assembled (preferably glued) into a door panel 1-2. Both flat bottom surfaces of the respective carrier plates 5-1 are connected (preferably glued) to the respective door sides 8-1 and 8-1'.
  • the two exciters 6-1 trigger by means of their emitted bending waves the respective carrier plates 5-1 and thus the respective door sides 8-1 and 8-1'. As a result, both sides of the door act as speaker membranes and emit sound.
  • the described exciter mounting module 7-1 may be used for a variety of frequency ranges, for example exciter mounting modules 7-1 may provide treble tones, midrange tones and / or bass tones.
  • the door panel 1-2 comprises at least one exciter mounting module 7-1 for treble and midrange tones and at least one exciter mounting module 7-1 for bass tones.
  • Fig. 8 further shows the mechanical protection means provided by the mechanical stopping means 5-3.
  • the stopping means 5-3 of the first carrier plate 5-1 (on the left hand side of Fig. 8 ) is positioned opposite to the exciter 6-1 of the second carrier plate 5-1 (on the right hand side of Fig. 8 ), wherein a defined space of air 8-2 is present between exciter 6-1 and stopping means 5-3.
  • a movable part of the exciter 6-1 can only move to an extend defined by the air space 8-2.
  • the stopping means 5-3 limits movements of the (movable parts) of the respective exciter 6-1 during a movement of the door panel 1-2.
  • a greater movement amplitude results in the exciter 6-1 (i.e. its movable parts) hitting the stopping means 5-3, wherein the kinetic energy is absorbed by the stopping means 5-3.
  • Exemplary methods for assembling the door panel 1-2 described above may comprise part of or all of the following steps:
  • the advantageous exciter mounting module 7-1 admits this compression to a predefined degree, since the one or more spacing means 5-4 of the exciter mounting module 7-1 are adapted to compress to a predefined degree due to their advantageous shape.
  • the spacing means 5-4 comprise elliptical-shaped elements to allow for a predefined and controlled compression. It will, however, be appreciated that alternative forms may be employed to allow a controlled compression of the one or more spacing means 5-4, such as circular forms, fan-like structures, or the like.
  • the integrated audio system of the door panels 1-2 can be controlled by any type of electronic device 1-6, preferably via a wireless communication link such as a WLAN. Since one electronic device 1-6 is typically able to control multiple door panels 1-2 with respective integrated audio systems, a preferred example of a home audio system comprises at least two different examples of the inventive door panel 1-2:
  • a resulting home audio system is exemplarily shown in Fig. 9 .
  • the kitchen door (which is typically most regularly frequented) is formed by an iDoor 1-2 to allow convenient access to the electronic device 1-6 that controls the home audio system.
  • the kitchen-door iDoor 1-2 further transmits over a wireless channel the received audio signals to additional sDoors 1-2 mounted in other places of the facility. Further, the iDoor 1-2 also transmits the audio signals to a home audio appliance, such as the HiFi amplifier shown in Fig. 9 .
  • this assembly allows for convenient audio experience in the entire facility without the need for bulky and un-aesthetic floor-standing speakers.
  • the controlled HiFi amplifier in the living room provides for particular high-quality sound (e.g. when connected to a Dolby 5.1 system or the like).
  • door panel 1-2 comprise one, part of, or all of the following features:
