Description

Digital signage mounting structure

The present invention relates to a mounting structure for digital signage. More specifically, the present invention relates to a digital signage mounting structure that is installed on the side wall of an existing building such as a store, public facility, transportation facility, or amusement park, and transmits information to the outside of the store.

In recent years, a display device called "Digital Signage" has become widespread. "Digital signage" is a device that displays information such as images and characters on a flat display, a projector, or the like by utilizing digital technology for display and communication. Compared to the conventional display means for displaying still images printed on paper media, digital signage "can handle not only still images but also moving images" and "display contents in real time depending on the situation". It is an information display means that can exert an advantage over the conventional means in "the point that can be optimized" and the like.

As a means for installing this digital signage, for example, an assembling type digital signage stand having a structure in which the mounting angle of the digital signage can be selected according to the usage situation has been proposed (Patent Documents). 1).

However, as described above, when information is to be transmitted to a viewer outside the store, for example, with a glass surface of a show window in between, the stand type disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used. With this installation method, it is difficult to ensure good visibility for viewers who view the display surface of digital signage beyond the glass surface.

Therefore, in order to improve the visibility beyond the glass surface to a sufficiently good level, the digital signage is installed with the display surface of the digital signage in close contact with the inside of the glass surface. It is conceivable to have a structure that does.

However, in order to mount the digital signage with the display surface in close contact with the glass surface, in order to secure sufficient installation strength, usually, mounting such as screwing or pinning that involves drilling on the glass surface is performed. Construction is required. However, once a through hole for mounting is formed on the glass surface, it becomes difficult to change the installation position of the digital signage and the size of the mounting device thereafter. Further, in this case, since the accuracy of the position of the through hole for mounting is not redoed or changed, high work accuracy is required, and therefore the difficulty of the mounting work is correspondingly increased.

As a mounting means that can reduce the difficulty of mounting work and increase the degree of freedom in changing the mounting position after mounting, for example, a small digital signage composed of a tablet computer is inserted into a jacket with a suction cup. A mounting means for installing on a glass plate in a state has been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

Here, if the digital signage is limited to the above-mentioned small device, the installation strength of the digital signage on the glass surface is required by a general suction cup as disclosed in Patent Document 2. It is possible to maintain strength. However, for example, a medium-sized to large-sized digital signage having a diagonal size of about 30 inches to 100 inches, which is widely used as an advertisement display device, usually weighs about 2 kg to several tens of kg. For such a general-purpose size digital signage, it is extremely difficult to secure sufficient installation strength by fixing with the suction cups described above.

Further, as another structural problem of the installation means of the structure disclosed in Patent Document 2, in the case of the above installation means, the display surface of the digital signage is formed by at least the thickness of the suction portion such as the suction cup. There is also the problem that it deviates from the glass surface. In this case, it is clear that the visibility from outside the store is likely to decrease as compared with the case where the display surface is in close contact with the inside of the glass surface.

In this way, as far as the various conventional mounting means are used, in mounting the digital signage on the side wall of a store or the like, the workability at the time of mounting, the stability after mounting, the degree of freedom of changing the mounting position, etc., and the degree of freedom of changing the mounting position, etc. There is no mounting means that can maintain good visibility from the outside of the store, and the degree of freedom in changing the mounting position, etc., or work is easy, depending on the installation conditions of the installation location, viewing conditions, etc. Of the various requirements such as sex, the reality was that one of the requirements was sacrificed to meet the other necessary requirements.

<Mounting structure of digital signage (first embodiment)>
In the first embodiment of the "digital signage mounting structure" of the present invention, the "digital signage" provided with the "display monitor" is displayed on the indoor side of the "transparent portion" of the "side wall" of a building such as a store. It is a mounting structure with a configuration in which the surfaces are placed in close contact with each other.

As a specific example of the "first embodiment" of the "digital signage mounting structure" of the present invention, for example, the digital signage mounting structure 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be mentioned. In the digital signage mounting structure 100, the digital signage 1 is installed on the indoor side of the side wall 21 of the store 2 (building) with the display surface of the display monitor 11 facing the outdoor side. In FIG. 2, it is assumed that the entire surface of the side wall 21 is transparent, but in the digital signage mounting structure 100, at least the portion where the display monitor 11 of the digital signage 1 is exposed toward the outdoor side. Should be a transparent part. The material of the transparent portion may be any material that can guarantee the generation of the necessary magnetic force on both sides of the side wall 21, but it is preferably an inorganic glass having a thickness of about 10 mm or less or an organic glass such as a polycarbonate plate.

As shown in FIG. 2, the digital signage 1 constituting the digital signage mounting structure 100 includes a main body 10 installed on the indoor side of a transparent side wall 21 of a store 2 having a glass surface or the like, and a store on the side wall 21. It is composed of a combination of two parts with the outdoor side housing 13 installed on the outside. In the mounting structure 100 of the digital signage, these two parts are attracted by the magnetic force of the fixed magnet 14 with the side wall 21 sandwiched between them. In this way, since the digital signage 1 is stably fixed at a desired position on the side wall 21 by a magnetic force, screwing or pinning or the like accompanied by drilling a hole in the side wall 21 made of glass or the like at the time of mounting is performed. No installation work is required. Further, the digital signage mounting structure 100, which does not require mounting work, is particularly suitable for mounting the digital signage to the existing structural portion.

The display monitor 11 constituting the main body 10 of the digital signage 1 may be a device capable of appropriately displaying "content" composed of characters, moving images, still images, etc. to the viewer at a required timing. For example, it is not limited to a specific device. For example, the display monitor 11 can be configured by an LED display, a VFD display, various other projectors, and the like.

In the digital signage mounting structure 100, as the digital signage 1, a medium-sized to large-sized display device having a diagonal size of 30 inches or more and 100 inches or less and a weight of about 2 kg or more on the display screen of the display monitor 11 is preferably mounted. It is supposed. However, the screen size of the display monitor is not limited to the above range. For example, the present invention can be applied from a small size display of several cm square to a huge display of several m square installed on the wall surface of a building.

The indoor housing 12 that constitutes the main body 10 of the digital signage 1 and to which the display monitor 11 is joined is a frame-shaped or box-shaped member having an opening portion having a shape and size into which the display monitor 11 can be fitted. is there. On the surface of one outer edge peripheral portion of the indoor side housing 12, the side wall 21 is sandwiched between the side walls 21 and fixed at a plurality of positions facing each other when facing the outdoor side housing 13. A magnet 14 is installed.

Further, the outdoor side housing 13 constituting the other part of the digital signage 1 is a frame-shaped member having an opening portion that matches the shape and size of the display monitor, like the indoor side housing 12. Also on the outer edge peripheral portion of one surface of the outdoor side housing 13, the side wall 21 is sandwiched between the side walls 21 and fixed at a plurality of positions facing each other when facing the indoor side housing 12. The magnet 14 is embedded.

Then, in the digital signage mounting structure 100, as shown in FIG. 2, the fixed magnet 14 is provided with the above-mentioned casings so that the surfaces thereof are flush with the surfaces of the indoor side housing 12 and the outdoor side housing 13. It is preferably embedded in the body. By adopting a structure in which the fixed magnet 14 is installed in each housing in such a manner, as shown in FIG. 2, the digital signage 1 is installed on the indoor side of the side wall 21 of the store 2 on the display surface of the display monitor 11. Can be fixed in close contact with the indoor surface of the side wall 21.

The plurality of fixed magnets 14 that attract the indoor side housing 12 and the outdoor side housing 13 that constitute the main body 10 may be permanent magnets, or, for example, magnetic force due to electricity supplied from the power supply 16. It may be an electromagnet that generates. For example, a permanent magnet that emits a strong magnetic force, such as a neodymium magnet that has a size of about several cm and exerts an attractive force of 10 kgf or more, is embedded in the four corners of the outer wall of each rectangular housing to weigh several tens of kg. It is possible to fix the digital signage 1 reaching the above to a glass surface having a thickness of about 10 mm with sufficient strength.

Here, as the fixed magnet 14, a permanent magnet having an extremely large magnetic force is used in order to maintain stability after installation. Therefore, when the main body 10 and the outdoor housing 13 are gradually brought closer to each other with the side wall 21 in between during the installation work of the digital signage 1, a very large force acts between the two members to attract them all at once. , There is a risk of injury to the installation worker. In order to reduce this risk, if necessary, in the mounting structure 100 of the digital signage, a distance adjusting mechanism capable of adjusting the shortest distance between the fixed magnets 14 facing each other to an arbitrary distance or more is provided. It is preferable to prepare. For example, the fixed magnet 14 embedded in the indoor side housing 12 and the outdoor side housing 13 has a structure of being screwed into each housing as a screw-shaped magnet, and is fixed by rotating the screw-shaped magnet as necessary. By dropping the exposed surface of the magnet 14 further inside than the surface of each housing, the minimum proximity distance between the magnets can be adjusted to an arbitrary distance or more. The configuration of this distance adjusting mechanism is not limited to the above-mentioned form, and various other configurations may be adopted. For example, the structure may be such that the fixed magnet 14 can be arbitrarily moved by using a driving unit such as a motor.

The fixed magnet 14 can also be an electromagnet that generates a magnetic force by supplying electric power. In this case, in order to enhance safety, it is preferable not to use all the fixed magnets 14 as electromagnets, but to use some fixed magnets 14 as permanent magnets as auxiliary magnets.

For example, carbon is used as the material of the indoor side housing 12 and the outdoor side housing 13 (hereinafter, also referred to as “each housing”), thereby reducing the weight while maintaining the strength of the digital signage 1. be able to. Further, it is more preferable that the carbon of the "each housing" is hollow and has a structure in which the cushioning property is improved in case of a fall.

Further, in the digital signage mounting structure 100, as shown in FIG. 2, the necessary electricity can be supplied from the power supply 16 to the main body 10 through the power supply cable 15.
