Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooling device for a television for a bathroom installed in a bathroom of a general household or in a steam bath which has been increasing recently.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional bathroom TV cooling device is shown in FIG.
6, as shown in FIG. 6, the cooling fan 2 provided in the TV storage box 1 raises the temperature due to the self-heating of the TV main body 3 (heat generation of the parts inside the main body) and the heat generated by the steam 5 from the steam discharger 4. The air in the TV storage box 1 was exhausted to the outside of the ceiling 7 of the bathroom via the exhaust pipe 6.

Air is sucked in by air 8 (hereinafter, this air is referred to as outside air) between the bathroom and the outer wall of the building from the air intake portion 10 opened in the back plate 20 of the rear opening of the television storage box 1. I was inhaling.

A cooling fan drive controller 9 is provided below the television main body 3, a lower vent 11 is provided at a lower portion of the television main body 3, and an upper vent 12 is provided at an upper portion thereof. An exhaust guide 13 was provided above the above with a space.

FIG. 4 shows two types of air flows.
One of them is the air intake part 10 which is forced by the cooling fan 2.
The fresh air 8 sucked in further passes through the exhaust guide 13 from the rear part of the TV body 3 and is exhausted to the ceiling via the exhaust pipe 6. The other air flow is the lower vent 11 of the TV body 3.
While entering the inside and cooling the heat-generating components inside the TV main body, they are discharged from the upper ventilation port 12 and discharged from the exhaust guide 13 through the exhaust pipe 6 to the outside of the ceiling.

[0006]

In the conventional bathroom TV cooling device, since a long exhaust pipe is used, the cost is high, and a large hole for the exhaust pipe needs to be formed in the bathroom ceiling. Was troublesome.

Further, in the suction section, the lower vent hole of the TV body and the air suction section of the back plate are almost at the same height, and the suction efficiency was not good. Further, since the exhaust part has a space between the upper vent of the TV body and the exhaust guide, the heat-generating components in the TV body have not been efficiently cooled.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has an air intake portion of a back plate added below the lower vent of the TV main body in the intake portion, and the TV main body in the exhaust portion. The exhaust guide portion is provided in close contact with the upper vent of the.

Further, the long exhaust pipe is abolished, and an exhaust hood portion in which a small-diameter exhaust pipe is branched is provided at the upper part of the television storage box on the wall in two directions of the bathroom corner wall.

[0010]

With the above construction, the efficiency of sucking air into the television body and the efficiency of exhaust air are enhanced, so that the heat-generating components in the television body are efficiently cooled by the cooling fan.

Further, the construction for making a hole in the bathroom ceiling is not required, which facilitates the construction and reduces the cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The same parts as those in the conventional example are given the same numbers. The back plate 20 is attached in close contact with the TV main body 3 in the TV storage box 1, and the back plate 20 is provided with the air intake portion 17 not only on the side surface but also on the bottom surface. A plurality of openings 15 are provided in the rear corner wall 14 of the TV storage box 1.
Is provided for the intake of the outside air 8. Further, a cover 21 and a mask 22 are attached to the front surface of the TV box 1 for waterproofing, preventing fog, and preventing damage.

An exhaust hood 16 is integrally attached to the upper part of the television storage box 1, and a plurality of small-diameter exhaust pipes 19 are branched on the upper part of the exhaust hood 16 so as to face the corner wall 14 to form an exhaust pipe 19. The tip end of each of these is screw-connected to the exhaust port 23 opened in the corner wall 14.

In FIG. 1, the air intake portion 17 is located below the lower ventilation hole 11 of the TV main body 3, and the exhaust guide 18 is attached in close contact with the peripheral portion of the upper ventilation hole 12 of the TV main body 3. Therefore, there is no gap with the TV main body 3, and all the outside air 8 for cooling passes through the inside of the TV main body 3, so that the cooling efficiency is significantly improved. FIG. 1 shows the flow of the outside air for cooling. The outside air 8 is sucked into the TV storage box 1 from the openings 15 of the corner walls by the cooling fan 2 through the air intake portions 17 on the side and bottom surfaces of the back plate 20 and the TV. From the lower ventilation hole 11 of the main body 3, it passes through the inside of the TV main body, from the upper ventilation hole 12 through the exhaust guide 13 and the exhaust hood 16, and through the exhaust pipe 19 to the outside through the exhaust port 23 of the corner wall 14. It

With the above structure, all the air sucked by the cooling fan passes through the inside of the television main body. Further, since the air intake portion 17 and the exhaust port 23 are separated from each other, a short circuit will not occur.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, since the air intake portion is provided below the lower vent of the TV main body, outside air easily enters the TV main body, the intake efficiency is improved, and the TV main body Since the exhaust guide installed close to the periphery of the upper ventilation hole allows all the air to pass through the inside of the TV, the exhaust efficiency is also improved. Therefore, the heat-generating components in the TV body can be efficiently cooled by the cooling fan.

A large-diameter exhaust pipe is abolished, and a small-diameter exhaust hood portion is provided on the wall in two directions of the bathroom corner wall integrated with the TV storage box, so that the space in the bathroom is widely used. Therefore, it can be effectively used in a space for accommodating small items used in a bathroom. Further, since the portion to be constructed is located at a low position, the workability is improved. Further, by branching in two directions, even if one of the wall surfaces of the corner portion is blocked by the wall on the building side, there is another surface, and the television can be cooled.
