1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an audio/video mainframe, particularly to one that is shaped as an aesthetic auto front head, provided with very convenient terminals for peripheral lines and a power line to plug in.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A common conventional audio/video mainframe, particular to one installed in a car, always includes a frame shell that is installed with a display panel, plural A/V output/input terminals, a power terminal, an antenna and at least a speaker. But, the A/V output/input terminals and the power terminal is located either on the front surface or on the side surface and exposed barely. It looks not only so unsmooth or unbeautiful, but also is inconvenient for peripheral lines or a power line to connect with.
The prime object of this invention is to offer an audio/video mainframe shaped as an auto's head.
The main characteristic of the invention is a mainframe with a front side shaped an a auto front head and installed with A/V output/input terminals and a power terminal at two corners on an upper section of the front side, able to be covered by two covers correspondingly. Two speakers shaped as grilles are placed between the two covers. Accordingly, such an aesthetic integrated audio/video mainframe can not only keep the A/V output/input terminals and the power terminal from being seen, but also enables the A/V output/input terminals and the power terminal to be plugged in by peripheral lines and a power line coming from various directions, convenient for using.
This invention is better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
As shown in
The frame shell 10 possesses a front side 11 shaped as an auto's front head. Two corners on an upper section of the front side 11 are respectively provided with a cover 12 shaped as a headlight and covering on three adjacent surfaces, able to be raised.
The display panel 20 is set on the top surface of the frame shell 10.
The A/V output/input terminals 30 set respectively at the two upper corners of the front side 11 of the mainframe 10 can be covered by the covers 12 correspondingly.
The antenna 40 is fixed on an intermediate portion of a rear side of the display panel 20.
The power terminal 50 set at any of the two corners of the front side 11 is able to be covered by the cover 12 correspondingly.
The speakers 60 placed between the covers 12 are shaped as a grille respectively.
It should be emphasized that the frame shell 10 provided with the A/V output/input terminals 30 hidden by the covers 12, the power terminal 50, the speakers 60 and the antenna 40 shaped as a shark's fin can display an integral beauty as a whole. In addition, it can save space effectively for the frame shell 10 by setting the A/V output/input terminals 30 and the power terminal 50 at the upper corners of the front side 11, and it is very convenient for peripheral lines 70 and a power line 80 to plug terminals from any direction according to practical need, as shown in
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
