Description

  The present invention relates to an image display device, and more particularly to an image display device for outdoor installation.

  Conventionally, a flat display such as a liquid crystal display disclosed in Patent Document 1 is often used as an image display monitor. Most conventional liquid crystal displays are designed to be installed indoors, and no measures are taken to protect the liquid crystal display from wind and rain. For this reason, it has been difficult to permanently install a conventional liquid crystal display outdoors.

  However, in recent years, it has been desired to install a liquid crystal display outdoors. The reason for this is that the liquid crystal display has a small thickness and a high image resolution. When the thickness is small, it is possible to install a display on the outer wall of a building or a display in a narrow place such as a bus stop. In addition, when the resolution is high, an image can be clearly displayed even if the display screen is small.

Therefore, in order to protect the liquid crystal display from wind and rain and dust, it is considered that a liquid crystal display, in particular, an image display panel that is easily damaged by wind and rain among the liquid crystal display, is arranged in the interior of the housing having a waterproof structure. .

  However, if the image display panel is placed inside the storage room and waterproofed, there is no way for heat to escape from the inside of the storage room to the outside, and thus the image display panel cannot be naturally cooled. For this reason, a phenomenon (blackout) occurs in which the temperature of the image display panel rises due to heat or sunlight generated from the image display panel during operation, the original function of the liquid crystal deteriorates, and the image display becomes impossible. End up.

  Further, the heat generated from the image display panel may increase the temperature of the circuit board for controlling the image display panel. During the operation of the image display panel, the temperature of the circuit board rises due to heat generated from the circuit board. Therefore, when the heat of the image display panel is applied to the circuit board, the temperature of the circuit board rises excessively. May be damaged.

  In order to solve these problems, it is conceivable to cool the image display panel and the circuit board, but since the amount of heat generated from the image display panel is large, it is possible to efficiently cool both the image display panel and the circuit board. It was difficult.

The image display panel 11 is provided inside a storage chamber 121 described later, and the circuit board 11 e is provided on the back surface of the back wall 125 that forms the storage chamber 121.

  The image display panel 11 can have various shapes depending on the application. In the present embodiment, a vertically long rectangular shape is used as the image display panel 11 so that the image display system can be installed in a narrow place such as a bus stop. Note that the image display panel 11 tends to generate heat at a surface 112 on which the display screen 112a is formed, and tends to become high temperature.

<Housing 12>
(Containment room)
The housing 12 has a waterproof structure, and a housing chamber 121 is formed inside the housing 12 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the image display panel 11 is arranged inside the storage chamber 121 with the display screen 112a facing the surface 101 of the image display system.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 12, the housing 12 includes a front wall 124 positioned on the front surface 112 side of the image display panel 11 and a rear wall 125 positioned on the rear surface 111 side of the image display panel 11.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the back wall 125 is disposed at a position between the image display panel 11 and the back plate 3 and spaced from the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11. Thereby, the heat generated in the image display panel 11 is hardly transmitted to the back wall 125, and therefore, the heat of the image display panel 11 is hardly transmitted to the circuit board 11e disposed on the back surface of the back wall 125. As a result, the temperature of the circuit board 11e is prevented from excessively rising and being damaged.

  In the surface wall 124, a portion of the surface wall 124 that faces the display screen 112 a of the image display panel 11 is formed of a light transmissive material, specifically, a glass material. Note that the surface of the surface wall 124 is the surface 101 of the image display system. Thereby, the display screen 112a of the image display panel 11 can be visually recognized from the surface side of the housing 12, that is, the surface 101 side of the image display system.

(About the circulation channel)
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a circulation channel 92 that surrounds the image display panel 11 is formed inside the storage chamber 121. 11 and 12, the illustration of the heat pipe 13 and the heat collecting fins 17 is omitted in order to clarify the circulation flow path 92, and the same applies to FIGS. 13 and 14 described later.

In the present embodiment, the circulation flow path 92 is constituted by four flow path portions 11a to 11d. The flow path portion 11 a is formed between the surface wall 124 that forms the storage chamber 121 and the surface 112 of the image display panel 11, and extends in a substantially vertical direction along the surface 112.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a pair of flow path forming members 921 and 921 for forming the flow path portion 11 a is provided on the surface 112 of the image display panel 11. The pair of flow path forming members 921 and 921 extends in the vertical direction along the surface 112 of the image display panel 11 at positions on both sides of the display screen 112 a of the image display panel 11 and also has a surface wall 124 that forms the storage chamber 112. And the surface 112 of the image display panel 11 (see FIG. 9). As a result, the flow path portion 11 a surrounded by the pair of flow path forming members 921 and 921, the surface wall 124 that forms the storage chamber 112, and the surface 112 of the image display panel 11 is formed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the flow path portion 11 b is formed between the upper surface wall 127 forming the accommodation chamber 121 and the upper end surface 113 of the image display panel 11. The channel portion 11 c is formed between the back wall 125 forming the storage chamber 121 and the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11, and extends along the substantially vertical direction along the back surface 111. As shown in FIG. 14, the flow path portion 11 d is formed between the lower surface wall 128 that forms the accommodation chamber 121 and the lower end surface 114 of the image display panel 11.

  In the present embodiment, the flow path portion 11a constituting the circulation flow path 92 has a width W (see FIG. 12) in the direction perpendicular to the outer surface of the image display panel 11 smaller than the flow path portion 11c. . Specifically, the width W of the flow path portion 11a is about 10 mm. Similarly, the width W of the channel portions 11b and 11d is also about 10 mm.

The flow path portions 11 a to 11 d are connected in a ring shape in this order around the image display panel 11 to surround the image display panel 11. That is, the flow path part 11a and the flow path part 11c are communicated with each other by the flow path part 11b and the flow path part 11d at the upper end part and the lower end part, respectively.
The air in the circulation channel 92 circulates around the image display panel 11 by the circulation fans 18 and 181 as will be described later. Therefore, the heat generated on the display screen 112a of the image display panel 11 moves to the back surface 111 side of the image display panel 11 using the air in the circulation channel 92 as a medium.

(About air passage)
Inside the housing 12, air passages 122 and 123 communicating with the outside of the housing 12 are formed at positions outside the housing chamber 121. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the ventilation path 122 extends in a substantially vertical direction along one side wall 121 a that forms the accommodation chamber 121, and the ventilation path 123 serves as the other side that forms the accommodation chamber 121. It extends along the side wall 121b.
Thus, by forming the air passages 122 and 123 on both sides of the storage chamber 121, it is possible to avoid the image display device 1 from being enlarged in the thickness direction.

As shown in FIG. 6, the upper end portion 122 a of the air passage 122 is bent in a crank shape, and the housing is formed through a vent 62 (see FIG. 8) provided in the upper surface 21 a of the frame portion 21 of the support base 2. It leads to the outside of the body 12. The same applies to the upper end 123a of the air passage 123.
As shown in FIG. 7, the lower end portion 122 b of the air passage 122 communicates with the outside of the housing 12 through the air vent 61 of the air vent plate 6 installed below the image display device 1. The same applies to the lower end 123b of the air passage 123.

<Heat pipe 13>
The plurality of heat pipes 13 are arranged in the flow path portion 11 c of the circulation flow path 92. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of heat pipes 13 are fixed to the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11 in a state of being repeatedly arranged at predetermined intervals in a substantially vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the heat pipes 13 arranged in this way are arranged one by one on both sides of the center line 111a of the back surface 111.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the heat pipes 13 arranged on the air passage 122 side with respect to the center line 111 a extend from the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11 toward the air passage 122, and form a storage chamber 121. One side wall 121a is penetrated from the inside of the storage chamber 121 to the outside, specifically, from the inside of the storage chamber 121 to the inside of the air passage 122. That is, the heat pipe 13 is arranged in a state of protruding into the air passage 122.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a through-hole 126 is formed in the side wall 121 a that forms the storage chamber 121, and the heat pipe 13 passes from the inside of the storage chamber 121 through the through-hole 126. It extends inside the air passage 122.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 19, an annular seal member 132 made of silicon rubber or the like is fitted into the heat pipe 13. It is sealed by a sealing member 132 fitted in the heat pipe 13. Thereby, the inside of the storage chamber 121 is maintained in a sealed state.

  The heat pipes 13 arranged on the air passage 123 side with respect to the center line 111a penetrate the other side wall 121b forming the housing chamber 121 in the same manner as the heat pipe 13 extending to the air passage 122, and the housing chamber It extends from the inside of 121 to the inside of the air passage 123 (see FIG. 5).

  According to the heat pipe 13, the heat generated from the image display panel 11 can be recovered inside the storage chamber 121. That is, the heat pipe 13 can recover heat from the air flowing through the circulation channel 92 and can directly recover the heat of the image display panel 11 from the back surface 111. Then, the recovered heat is guided to the outside of the accommodation chamber 121 by the heat pipe 13 and released into the ventilation paths 122 and 123. That is, the heat pipe 13 functions as a heat exchange unit provided in the image display device 1.

The heat released from the heat pipe 13 into the air passages 122 and 123 is dissipated outside the housing 12 through the air passages 122 and 123. That is, the air passages 122 and 123 are provided in the heat pipe 13 outside the storage chamber 121 and function as heat recovery means for recovering heat from the heat pipe 13.
Therefore, the temperature rise of the image display panel 11 is suppressed, and as a result, the function of the liquid crystal display 10 is maintained in a good state.

  In the present embodiment, the heat pipes 13 are repeatedly arranged at predetermined intervals on the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11, so that heat is recovered from the entire flow path portion 11 c of the circulation flow path 92, and the liquid crystal Heat can be recovered from the entire back surface 111 of the display. Thereby, the cooling efficiency of the image display apparatus 1 becomes high.

When the image display panel 11 generates heat, the temperature inside the storage chamber 121 becomes higher than the temperature outside (air passages 122 and 123). The heat pipe 13 is filled with a heat exchange refrigerant (such as water).
Therefore, from the viewpoint of increasing the heat exchange efficiency of the heat pipe 13, the heat pipe 13 extends obliquely upward from the inside of the housing chamber 121 to the inside of the ventilation paths 122 and 123 as shown in FIG. 4. It is preferable to arrange.

Thereby, the part (low temperature part) located inside the ventilation paths 122 and 123 among the heat pipes 13 becomes higher in the substantially vertical direction than the part (high temperature part) located inside the storage chamber 121. Therefore, the refrigerant in the heat pipe 13 is vaporized in the high temperature portion and rises toward the low temperature portion, and is liquefied in the low temperature portion, flows down to the high temperature portion, and is vaporized again in the high temperature portion.
Thus, by arranging the heat pipes 13 at an angle, the refrigerant circulates efficiently in the heat pipes 13 and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat pipes 13 is enhanced.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the heat pipe 13 is provided on the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11, a limitation that occurs when the heat pipe 13 is arranged on the front surface 112 side (in the flow path portion 11a), for example, Reduction of the display screen 112a and enlargement of the image display device 1 can be avoided.
Even when the heat pipe 13 is arranged on the back surface 111 in this way, the heat generated on the display screen 112 a is guided to the heat pipe 13 by the air circulating in the circulation flow path 92, and thus the heat exchange efficiency in the heat pipe 13. Remains high.

  The arrangement of the heat pipe 13 will be further described. Any of the heat pipes 13 is arranged along the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11 from the viewpoint of increasing the efficiency of collecting heat from the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11. Yes.

  In the present embodiment, because of the relationship between the mounting position of the image display panel 11 and the mounting position of the electronic components and the circuit board 11e mounted on the image display device 1, the rear surface 111 of the image display panel 11 is shown in FIG. Steps are formed as shown in FIG. Even when there is such a step, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, the heat pipe 13 is bent in a crank shape at the step so that the heat pipe 13 follows the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11. Yes.

  Thereby, the useless space which arises by arrangement | positioning of the heat pipe 13 can be reduced. Moreover, since the contact area with the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11 increases, the heat exchange efficiency between the heat pipe 13 and the image display panel 11 increases, and as a result, the heat recovery efficiency from the back surface 111 of the image display panel 11. Will increase.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, all the heat pipes 13 are repeatedly arranged at a predetermined interval in the substantially vertical direction as shown in FIG. 4, and the distance from the adjacent heat pipes 13 is kept at a predetermined interval. It extends to the inside of the air passages 122 and 123. For this reason, the heat pipes 13 are repeatedly arranged at predetermined intervals in the substantially vertical direction also in the ventilation path 122.
Therefore, the heat recovered by the heat pipe 13 can be dispersed and released inside the air passages 122 and 123, and as a result, the heat exchange (heat radiation) efficiency of the heat pipe 13 inside the air passages 122 and 123. Will increase.

<Air conditioner 19>
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIGS. 10 to 12, the air conditioner 19 includes an evaporator 191 and a condenser 192, recovers heat by the evaporator 191, and releases the recovered heat by the condenser 192. To do.

As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the evaporator 191 is disposed inside the storage chamber 121 at a position on the back surface 111 side of the image display panel 11 and in the vicinity of the lower end surface 114 of the image display panel 11. ing. That is, the evaporator 191 is disposed at the lower end of the flow path portion 11 c of the circulation flow path 92. Thus, by arranging the evaporator 191 on the back surface 111 side of the image display panel 11, it is possible to avoid the image display device 1 from being enlarged in the height direction.
In addition, the circulation channel 92 can be shortened by disposing the evaporator 191 not on the lower end surface 114 side of the image display panel 11 but on the back surface 111 side.

  The evaporator 191 may be disposed below the image display panel 11, that is, on the lower end surface 114 side of the image display panel 11.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the evaporator 191 is disposed in the lower end portion of the flow path portion 11 c of the circulation flow path 92 in the vicinity of the back wall 125 that forms the storage chamber 121. Thereby, the area | region of the back wall 125 vicinity of the lower end will be cooled by the evaporator 191. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the condenser 192 is disposed inside the housing 12 and outside the storage chamber 121. Specifically, the condenser 192 is disposed between the pair of ventilation plates 6 and 6 at a position below the storage chamber 121, that is, a position below the image display panel 11.

An intake / exhaust fan is disposed between the pair of ventilation plates 6 and 6 (not shown). The intake / exhaust fan sucks air from a vent 61 formed in one vent plate 6, sends it to the condenser 192, and air from a vent 61 formed in the other vent plate 6. Is discharged.
Thereby, the heat dissipated from the condenser 192 can be efficiently released to the outside of the housing 12.

Air is exhausted from the vent 61 of the venting plate 6. That is, the former vent 61 is used as an inlet and the latter vent 61 is used as an exhaust.

  According to the air conditioner 19, since the heat exchange efficiency is high in both the evaporator 191 and the condenser 192, heat is efficiently recovered by the evaporator 191 from the air flowing in the circulation passage 92, and the condenser By 192, heat can be efficiently released from the plurality of vent holes 61 formed in the vent plate 6 to the outside of the housing 12. Therefore, the heat generated in the image display panel 11 is recovered by the air conditioner 19, and the temperature rise of the image display panel 11 is suppressed. As a result, the function of the image display panel 11 is maintained in a good state. The Rukoto.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, since the region near the lower end of the back wall 125 is cooled by the evaporator 191, it is generated by the circuit board 11 e using the evaporator 191 that recovers the heat generated from the image display panel 11. It is also possible to recover the generated heat. In addition, as described above, since the heat generated in the image display panel 11 is hardly transmitted to the circuit board 11e, the circuit board 11e is efficiently cooled by the evaporator 191.
In the present embodiment, as will be described later, the circuit board 11e can be more efficiently cooled using the evaporator 191 by the heat collecting fins 71 and the blower fan 72 for the circuit board.

In the present embodiment, an evaporator 191 is used as a heat exchange means for recovering heat from the air in the circulation channel 92, and heat exchange is performed to release the heat recovered by the evaporator 191 to the outside of the housing 12. Although the condenser 192 is used as the means, other heat exchange means may be adopted instead of the evaporator 191 and the condenser 192.

<Circulating fans 18, 181>
The circulation fans 18 and 181 are fans for circulating the air in the circulation channel 92 along the circulation channel 92. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the circulation fan 18 is disposed on the back surface 111 side of the image display panel 11 and in the vicinity of the upper end surface 113 of the image display panel 11. That is, the circulation fan 18 is disposed at the upper end of the flow path portion 11 c of the circulation flow path 92.
Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the circulation fan 18 causes the air in the flow path portion 11c of the circulation flow path 92 to flow downward.

The circulation fan 181 is disposed inside the housing chamber 121 on the back surface 111 side of the image display panel 11 and in the vicinity of the evaporator 191. In this Embodiment, as FIG.11 and FIG.12 shows, in the lower end part of the flow-path part 11c of the circulation flow path 92, it arrange | positions in the upper position of the evaporator 191. As shown in FIG.
Then, the circulation fan 181 sends wind toward the evaporator 191 as shown in FIG.

As a result, the air in the circulation channel 92 circulates around the image display panel 11 in the direction of the solid arrow as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.
That is, by driving the circulation fans 18 and 181, the air in the flow path portion 11 a along the surface 112 of the image display panel 11 flows from the bottom to the top in the substantially vertical direction, as shown in FIG. Then, it flows through the flow path portion 11 b along the upper end surface 113 of the image display panel 11 and flows into the flow path portion 11 c along the back surface 111. As shown in FIG. 14, the air that has flowed into the flow path portion 11c flows from the top to the bottom along the flow path portion 11c, and flows through the flow path 11d along the lower end surface 114 of the image display panel 11. Return to the road 11a.

According to the circulation fans 18 and 181, the air in the flow path portion 11 a along the surface 112 of the image display panel 11 can be efficiently guided to the flow path portion 11 c along the back surface 111. Therefore, the heat generated on the display screen 112a of the image display panel 11 is guided to the heat pipe 13 and the evaporator 191 disposed on the back surface 111 side of the image display panel 11 using air as a medium, and the heat pipe 13 and It will be efficiently recovered by the evaporator 191. That is, the air in the circulation channel 92 can be used to air-cool the image display panel 11, particularly the display screen 112 a of the image display panel 11.
Therefore, the temperature rise of the image display panel 11, especially the temperature rise of the display screen 112a of the image display panel 11 that easily generates heat is suppressed, and as a result, the function of the image display panel is maintained in a good state.

  Further, the heat generated in the circuit board 11 e is also transmitted from the surface of the back wall 125 to the air circulating in the circulation flow path 92 and is recovered by the heat pipe 13 and the evaporator 191. In this way, the circuit board 11e is also cooled.

  Considering that the image display panel 11 and the circuit board 11e are cooled by the circulation fans 18 and 181, the heat pipe 13, and the evaporator 191, the circulation fans 18 and 181, the heat pipe 13, and the evaporator 191 are used. It can be grasped that the cooling mechanism is configured.

  In the present embodiment, since the wind is sent toward the evaporator 191 by the circulation fan 181 (see FIG. 14), the evaporator 191 does not stagnate the air in the circulation passage 92 in the passage portion 11c. Can be sent to. Therefore, heat can be efficiently recovered by the evaporator 191.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the circulation fans 18 and 181 are arranged at the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the flow path portion 11c, so that the air can easily flow along the circulation flow path 92 and the flow velocity. Becomes larger. Therefore, the image display panel 11 can be uniformly cooled, and as a result, only the portion near the evaporator 191 in the image display panel 11 is not cooled.

  However, if the flow velocity of the air flowing through the circulation flow path 92 is excessively increased, the heat exchange efficiency in the heat pipe 13 and the evaporator 191 is lowered. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, ten circulation fans 18 are arranged at the upper end portion of the flow path portion 11c, while at the lower end portion of the flow path portion 11c, FIGS. It is preferable to provide three circulation fans 181 as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the width W (= W1) of the flow path portion 11a constituting the circulation flow path 92 is smaller than the width W (= W2) of the flow path portion 11c (see FIG. 12). The flow velocity of the air flowing along the circulation flow path 92 increases in the flow path portion 11a. Therefore, the amount of heat guided from the display screen 112a of the image display panel 11 to the heat pipe 13 and the evaporator 191 increases, and as a result, the cooling efficiency of the display screen 112a increases.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the air in the flow path portion 11a along the surface 112 of the image display panel 11 flows from the bottom to the top in the substantially vertical direction, the property of the air that the air warmed by heat rises. In combination with this, the air in the flow path portion 11a efficiently flows from the bottom to the top.
Therefore, air easily circulates along the circulation flow path 92, and the heat generated on the display screen 112a of the image display panel 11 can be efficiently guided to the heat pipe 13 and the evaporator 191. As a result, the heat exchange (heat collection) efficiency in the heat pipe 13 and the evaporator 191 is increased, and thus the cooling efficiency of the image display device 1 is further increased.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the circulation fan 18 is moved to a position where air flows out from the upper end portion of the flow passage portion 11c of the circulation flow passage 92, that is, the flow passage portion 11b along the upper end surface 113 of the image display panel 11. Since it arrange | positions in the position of the vicinity and flows the air in the flow-path part 11c toward the downward direction, the air in the circulation flow path 92 can be circulated efficiently. The reason is as follows.

In the circulation channel 92, the flow resistance is high in the narrow width W portion and the flow resistance is low in the wide width portion. Therefore, the air flowing through the narrow width portion in the circulation process is Tries to flow into a wide area.
In the circulation flow path 92 in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the width W (= W1, W2) of the flow path portions 11a and 11b is narrower than the width W of the flow path portion 11c. The flow path resistances of 11a and 11b are higher than the flow path resistance of the flow path part 11c. Therefore, the air flowing through the flow path parts 11a and 11b tends to flow toward the flow path part 11c.

  Therefore, the circulation fan 18 is disposed at a position where the air flows out from the flow path portion 11b or in the vicinity thereof, and the air in the flow path portion 11b is caused to flow toward the flow path portion 11c. Air is efficiently guided to the flow path portion 11c. As a result, the air in the circulation channel 92 is circulated efficiently.

  When the width W (= W2) of the flow path portion 11b is wider than the width W (= W1) of the flow path portion 11a, for the same reason as described above, the position where air flows out from the flow path portion 11a or The circulation fan 18 may be arranged at a position in the vicinity thereof.

  In the present embodiment, since the circulation fans 18 and 181 are arranged on the back surface 111 side of the image display panel 11, it is possible to avoid the image display device 1 from being enlarged in the height direction. .

  In the present embodiment, the circulation fans 18 and 181 are used as the circulation means for circulating the air in the circulation flow path 92, but other circulation means are adopted instead of the circulation fans 18 and 181. Also good.
