Description

  The present invention relates to a television set provided with a light-transmitting plate that is attached to a bathroom, kitchen, or other wall surface and covers the front surface in particular.

As a television apparatus attached to a wall surface such as a bathroom, for example, a window-like attachment hole is provided on a wall surface, and a storage box for storing a television unit is embedded in the attachment hole (for example, Patent Document 1). In this case, the front opening portion of the storage box is closed in a watertight manner by the half mirror plate.
JP 2001-327428 A (FIG. 1)

  In the above conventional apparatus, the TV unit is covered with the half mirror plate, and only the TV screen can be seen through the half mirror plate. In other words, the TV unit itself is covered with a half mirror plate and is hidden and cannot be seen from the outside, so the appearance is good.

  However, since the half mirror plate is attached to the storage box in a watertight manner, even if the TV unit is provided with a sound generation unit such as a speaker, the sound emitted from the sound generation unit will hardly come out of the storage box. Absent. For this reason, in the device described in the above patent document, a speaker is installed separately from the storage box, and an audio signal is output from the television unit in the storage box to a separately installed speaker, thereby causing the speaker to ring. For this reason, it is not only necessary to install a separate speaker and to connect the speaker and the TV unit, but also the TV sound is pronounced from a different direction from the TV screen, and you feel uncomfortable when watching TV. Occurs.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a television device that does not cause such a problem.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a television apparatus according to the present invention includes a television unit that includes at least an image display unit and a sounding unit on a front surface and is attached to a surface of a wall surface. A light-transmitting plate material covering the wall, wherein a space communicating between the wall surface and the plate material is formed between the sound generating portion and the plate material.

  If a TV unit is provided with a sound generation unit and TV sound is generated from the sound generation unit, it is not necessary to provide a sound generation unit such as a separate speaker for the TV unit. There is no sense of incongruity when watching However, when the TV unit is covered with a plate material, if the space between the sound generation unit and the plate material is reduced by bringing the plate material into close contact with the image display unit, the sound produced by the sound generation unit wraps around the plate material and goes forward. It becomes difficult. Therefore, by providing the space between the sound generation part and the plate material, the television sound generated from the sound generation part can be output forward without being attenuated.

  By the way, when this plate material is formed by a half mirror, the television unit behind the plate material is hidden by the plate material and functions as a mirror when no television image is displayed. Therefore, the design is excellent.

  If the sound generation section provided in the television unit is a stereo system, sound generation sections will be provided on the left and right, respectively. However, if the television sound generated from the left and right interferes behind the plate material, the sound image will not be clear. In view of this, an interference prevention unit is formed between the left and right sound generation units so as to prevent the sound generated from both sound generation units from interfering behind the plate material in proximity to the plate material.

  In addition, a blindfold member is provided between the peripheral edge of the plate and the wall surface and is blinded so that the TV unit cannot be seen from the outside. You may form the acoustic path which guides to the exterior.

  Further, the wall surface is a bathroom wall surface, and the television unit has a waterproof structure, and can form a drainage portion for draining hot water that has entered the space between the plate material and the wall surface.

At this time, the blindfold member is detachable, and if it is configured to be able to clean the space between the plate material and the wall surface by removing the blindfold member , it can be easily cleaned even if water stains or mold occurs.

  As is apparent from the above description, the present invention covers the front surface of the television unit with a plate material, and further communicates with the outside through the space between the sound source and the plate material provided on the front surface of the television unit and between the wall surface and the plate material. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a sound generation unit such as a speaker separately from the television unit, and television sound flows from the direction of the television screen, and there is no sense of incongruity when watching the television screen.

  Referring to FIG. 1, BR is a bathroom, and a television apparatus 1 according to the present invention is attached to an inner wall W of this bathroom BR. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the television apparatus 1 has a structure in which a television unit 2 having a liquid crystal display unit 21 on the front surface is attached to an inner wall W.

  However, this television unit 2 is covered from the front by a half mirror plate 3 that is a plate material, and is hidden by the half mirror plate 3 so that it is not directly visible to a bather or the like. The television unit 2 is sealed and has a watertight structure in which water does not enter the inside. A pair of left and right waterproof speakers 22 which are sound generation units are attached below the liquid crystal display unit 21.

  The portion to which the waterproof speaker 22 is attached is formed in a state of being recessed rearward from the liquid crystal display unit 21. Further, the interference prevention between the two waterproof speakers 22 is almost the same height as the liquid crystal display unit 21. Part 23 was provided. By providing this interference prevention unit 23, it is possible to prevent the TV sound generated from each waterproof speaker 22 from interfering with each other at the center portion, and to prevent the sound image recognized by the viewer from being blurred. In this embodiment, the interference preventing unit 23 is provided with a light receiving unit 24 that receives an infrared signal from an infrared remote controller (not shown).

  The liquid crystal display unit 21 is surrounded by a sponge-like waterproof packing 21a on the entire periphery. Therefore, when the half mirror plate 3 is pressed against the liquid crystal display unit 21, the waterproof packing 21a prevents hot water from the outside from reaching the liquid crystal display unit 21. As described above, since hot water does not reach the liquid crystal display unit 21, it is possible to prevent a problem that the liquid crystal display unit 21 is cloudy and the television screen is difficult to see.

  By the way, the half mirror plate 3 is held by a pair of upper and lower holding members 31 and 32. The holding members 31 and 32 are both fixed to the inner wall W, and the distance between the liquid crystal display unit 21 and the half mirror plate 3 of the TV unit 2 that is also fixed to the inner wall W appropriately compresses the waterproof packing 21a. The shape is determined so as to have a dimension that can be performed.

  When the TV unit 2 and the holding members 31 and 32 are fixed to the inner wall W together with the half mirror plate 3, the waterproof speaker 22 is attached to the recessed portion behind the liquid crystal display unit 21. A space 22a is formed between the two. This space 22a is formed at one place on each of the left and right sides, but both spaces 22a are isolated by the interference preventing unit 23 located between them. However, since both spaces 22a are open to the left and right outside, the TV sound generated from the waterproof speaker 22 is emitted from the space 22a to the left and right outside, respectively, from the left and right of the half mirror plate 3 into the bathroom BR. It will expand.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the detachable blindfold members 33 are attached to the left and right sides of the half mirror plate 3. However, as shown in FIG. 4, horn-like acoustic passages 33 a that gradually increase in diameter from the inside to the outside in the attached state are formed in these blindfold members 33. Since the TV sound generated from the waterproof speaker 22 is output into the bathroom BR through the acoustic passage 33a, it is amplified by the acoustic passage 33a and diffuses into the bathroom BR while spreading uniformly.

  By the way, since the acoustic passage 33 a is provided in the blindfold member 33, when a shower or the like is applied to the television apparatus 1, hot water may enter the rear of the half mirror plate 3. Since the television unit 2 has a watertight structure, there is no problem, but the drainage grooves 31a are formed at the left and right ends of the lower holding member 31 so that mold does not occur behind the half mirror plate 3. Moreover, since the blindfold member 33 is detachable as described above, when it is desired to clean the back of the half mirror plate 3, the blind cover member 33 is once removed and a shower or the like is put on the back of the half mirror plate 3. Can be cleaned.

  By the way, in the above-described embodiment, the half mirror plate 3 is held by the upper and lower holding members 31 and 32, so that water tends to accumulate particularly in the lower holding member 31. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, by holding the half mirror plate 3 by the holding member 34 that holds the mirror from the left and right, the water that has entered the back of the half mirror plate 3 is immediately drained from the back of the half mirror plate 3 without accumulating. You may comprise.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the half mirror plate 3 is held by four small holding members 35, and hot water entering the rear of the half mirror plate 3 is immediately drained, and the rear of the half mirror plate 3 is also drained. Ventilation may be improved so that the back of the half mirror plate 3 is always easy to dry.

  By the way, in each above-mentioned form, although the television apparatus 1 was installed in bathroom BR, you may install in other indoors, such as a kitchen and a living room, or even if it installs outdoors, there is no problem at all.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described form, You may add a various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
