Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate generally to assemblies and methods for electronic displays.
Electronic displays have grown in popularity not only for indoor use, but also for outdoor use. One exemplary application, without limitation, is the digital out of home advertising market where the electronic displays are increasingly replacing the use of static posters. The use of electronic displays is advantageous because they allow images to be changed quickly as well as permit the use of videos and interactive displays, among other benefits. Such displays have been placed in many locations, including but not limited, on billboards, the tops of vehicles, bus shelters, kiosks, sidewalks, stadiums, buildings, and the like.
Such outdoor, and some indoor, displays are often encased in a housing to protect them from environmental conditions and to hold various electronic components that are used to operate the displays. Despite efforts to protect the display from environmental conditions and other potential hazards, failures of the displays themselves and their related electronic components do occur. When such failures occur, it is often necessary to repair, replace, or otherwise service (hereinafter also collectively, “servicing” or “service”) the displays themselves or their various electronic components. Even when such failures have not occurred, it may be desirable to access the displays or the various electronic components thereof to perform routine or preventative maintenance, or simply for inspection purposes. It may also be desirable to provide a sealed, powered, connected, and/or cooled cavity for electronic equipment. Finally, it may be desirable to change the configuration of the assembly. For example, without limitation, it may be desirable to convert a double sided electronic display into an electronic display on one side with a static poster display on the other. Current assemblies for electronic displays make it difficult or impossible to service the display and the related electronic components. Therefore, what is needed is a field serviceable and replaceable assembly for an electronic display.
Further, such assemblies are generally connected to external power sources and communications networks. Such connections often require interaction with utility lines. Interaction with these utility lines generally subjects any servicing work to additional regulations and requires technicians having specialized knowledge. Such efforts generally increase the costs, time, and effort involved with such servicing. Therefore, what is needed is a field serviceable and replaceable assembly for an electronic display.
The present invention is a field serviceable and replaceable assembly for an electronic display. A single side assembly or a back-to-back pair of side assemblies may be hingedly mounted to a frame. More specifically, the side assembly may comprise a frame configured to receive, in a back to back configuration, one or more digital displays, one or more covers, one or more poster holders (illuminated or not illuminated), or some combination thereof. A closed loop of circulating gas and an open loop of ambient air may flow through the assembly. The frame may be surrounded, at least in part, by a housing. In exemplary embodiments utilizing back-to-back side assemblies, the frame and the side assemblies may enclose an electronics cavity. Each side assembly may be hingedly connected to an upper portion of the frame and may be configured to swing outwardly to allow access to electronic components located in an electronics cavity. The cavity may be sealed, cooled, powered, and/or connected for electronic equipment. Some electronic components may be mounted to a plate located between the two side assemblies. In other embodiments, the plate (along with the electronic components) may be mounted to one of the side assemblies or may form a part of the respective side assembly.
In exemplary embodiments utilizing a single side assembly, the side assembly may be similarly mounted. However, an access panel may enclose the rear of the assembly such that the electronics cavity may also be accessed from the rear. The access panel may additionally be configured to receive a poster or a cover.
Regardless, a pair of aid devices may be utilized with each side assembly or access panel to assist in moving the side assembly between the open and the closed position as well as secure the side assembly in the open or closed position. In exemplary embodiments, a number of the electronic components may be shared for both side assemblies so as to reduce the total number of electronic components required. The aid devices may also assist in securing the side assembly in the open or the closed position. The side assemblies and/or the access panel may be opened to service the electronic components and the side assemblies. When necessary, the side assembly itself may be removed from the frame and replaced.
The one or more digital displays, one or more covers, and one or more poster holders may be mechanically attached to the frame by way of a bracket and a pin, which may be configured to serve as the main, or only, mechanical support for the one or more digital displays, one or more covers, and one or more poster holders. In this way, the digital displays, covers, or poster holders may be easily and quickly removed from the frame for servicing. In exemplary embodiments, external power and communications connections may be located on the frame or on a plate located between the one or more digital displays, one or more covers, one or more poster holders such that servicing of the one or more digital displays, one or more covers, one or more poster holders can be performed by disconnecting the power and communications at the connection point rather than disturbing the connection to the utility lines. In this way, the external power and communications connections may often remain undisturbed.
In some situations, it may be advantageous to increase the cooling capabilities of the assembly. For example, without limitation, it may be desirable to add additional temperature sensitive or heat producing equipment to the assemblies, drive the electronic displays or illumination elements at higher brightness levels, operate in extreme environments with high temperatures or high solar loading, or to provide and operate larger electronic displays in one or more of the side assemblies. Therefore, what is needed is a field serviceable and replaceable assembly for an electronic display with increased cooling.
The present invention provides a field serviceable and replaceable assembly for an electronic display with increased cooling. In exemplary embodiments, an additional open loop channel for ambient air may be added to one or both of the side assemblies mounted to either side of the frame. In exemplary embodiments, the additional open loop channel may only be added to the side assembly or assemblies comprising a cover or a poster holder, though it is contemplated that the additional open loop channel may also be added to the side assemblies comprising a digital display. It is contemplated that the additional open loop channel may be added to one or both side assemblies.
In addition to the features mentioned above, other aspects of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following descriptions of the drawings and exemplary embodiments, wherein like reference numerals across the several views refer to identical or equivalent features, and wherein:
Various embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, specific details such as detailed configuration and components are merely provided to assist the overall understanding of these embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.
In embodiments comprising a single side assembly 14, the frame 12 may be a five-sided box. Namely, the frame 12 may comprise an interconnected upper, lower, right side, and a left side piece as well as a front or rear panel. However, the frame 12 may be substantially open on the rear or front sides thereof, respectively, such that the side assembly 14 may be mounted to substantially cover said opening.
As will be explained in greater detail herein, the assembly 10 may further comprise an electronics cavity 18 for storing electronic components 30 for operating the assembly 10. The electronics cavity 18 may be located in the space between the side assemblies 14 and the frame 12. Stated another way, the first and second side assemblies 14 may share a common electronics cavity 18.
The assembly 10 may further comprise a pair of aid devices 20, preferably having a first end and a second end, though such is not required. In exemplary embodiments, the aid devices 20 may be gas springs, though any type of aid device is contemplated. Such aid devices 20 may include, but are not limited to, any device which utilizes a mechanical advantage in order to assist is moving the side assemblies 14 between an open position or closed positions as well as, or alternatively, to temporarily secure the side assemblies 14 in the open position or closed position. Other exemplary aid devices 20 include, but are not limited to, struts, springs, block and tackle, counterweights, levers, gears, tethers, belts, chains, motors, screws, some combination thereof, or the like.
The first end of the aid devices 20 may be mounted to either side of the side assembly 14 and the second end of the aid devices 20 may be mounted to either side of the interior of the frame 12. In exemplary embodiments, the first end of the aid devices 20 is mounted lower relative to second end of the aid devices 20, though the opposite is contemplated. The aid devices 20 may be configured to assist with movement of the side assemblies 14 between the open and the closed positions as well as temporarily securing the side assemblies 14 in the opened or the closed positions.
In exemplary embodiments, the side assemblies 14 may be lockable to the frame 12 or the housing 6 such that the side assemblies 14 cannot normally be moved from the closed position unless unlocked. This may assist in restricting access to the electronics cavity 18 to authorized personnel.
A plate 19 may be located in the electronics cavity 18 and the electronic components 30 may be mounted thereto. Alternatively, or in addition, an electronics plate 42 may be located in the electronics cavity 18. In exemplary embodiments, the electronics plate 42 may be mounted to the frame 12 such that the electronics plate 42 extends substantially parallel to the front surface of the electronic side assemblies 14. Similarly, in exemplary embodiments the plate 19 may be mounted to the rear surface of one or more of the side assemblies 14. However, any location and orientation of the plate 19 and the electronics plate 42 is contemplated.
The electronic components 30 may comprise any number of components used to operate the assembly 10 and its various components. Such electronic components 30 may include, but are not limited to, power sources, power distribution components, video players, video receiver boards, processors, electronic storage devices, communications equipment, wireless transmitter/receivers, network connectivity devices, printed circuit boards, and the like. In exemplary embodiments, a number of the electronic components 30 may be utilized to operate both side assemblies 14. For example, but not to serve as a limitation, at least the video players, video receiver boards, communications equipment, wireless transmitter/receivers, and network connectivity devices may be shared. This may reduce the number of electronic components 30 required. In exemplary embodiments, the plate 19 or the electronics plate 42 may comprise a server rack, though such is not required.
Each hinging device 22 may comprise a frame hinge plate 26 and a first and second display hinge plate 24. The frame hinge plate 26 may be located on the exterior panels on either side of an upper portion of the frame 12 such that the frame hinge plate 26 extends substantially perpendicular relative to the electronics plate 42. The display hinge plates 24 may be located on either side of an upper portion of each of the side assemblies 14 such that the display hinge plates 26 extend substantially perpendicular relative to the electronics plate 42. The display hinge plate 24 may comprise one or more notches or apertures corresponding to notches or apertures located on the frame hinge plate 26. Any number of fasteners 27 may extend through the corresponding notches or apertures in the display hinge plate 24 and the frame hinge plate 26 such that the frame hinge plate 26 may be hingedly secured to the display hinge plate 24. The fasteners 27 may include threaded fasteners, pins, bolts, screws, nails, or the like. This is merely exemplary, any type of hinge device 22 is contemplated. In exemplary embodiments, the frame hinge plates 26, the display hinge plates 24 and the fasteners 27 may be configured to serve as the main or sole mechanical attachment points for mounting the side assemblies 14 to the frame 12.
The hinge device 22 may provide for easy removal of one or both of the side assemblies 14 when servicing the assembly 10. The fasteners 27 may simply be removed from either side of the side assembly 14 and the entire side assembly 14 may be removed. Additionally, removal may require relatively minor additional steps such as, but not limited to, the disconnection of various electrical wires and other components as further described herein. A replacement side assembly 14 may then be installed. Installation may comprise, but is not limited to, moving the Additionally, installation of the new side assembly 14 may require relatively minor additional steps such as, but not limited to, the connection of the aforementioned various electrical wires and other components as further described herein. The side assembly 14 being serviced may then be returned to a service center for servicing. This may minimize downtime of the assembly 10.
Additionally, the assembly 10 may require connection to an external power source, communications network, and the like to operate. This may require connecting into utility lines. In exemplary embodiments, connection to said utility lines may be made through separate connectors 72 located on the frame 12, within the cavity 18, on the plate 19, on the electronics plate 42, or at another location. These connectors 72 may be connected to the other various electronic components 30 via electrical wiring, ethernet cable, telephone cable, axial cable, fiber optic cable, or the like. The disconnection and reconnection of such wiring from the connectors 72 may be required when removing or installing a side assembly 14. In this way, the connection into the utility lines may not be disturbed when servicing the assembly 10. In exemplary embodiments, the connectors 72 may also act as pass through devices 35.
A backlight 21 may be located behind and substantially parallel to the electronic display 11. The backlight 21 may be spaced apart from the electronic display 11, though such is not required. A second channel 23 may be located within the side assembly 14 and may be configured to receive ambient air 38. The second channel 23 may permit ambient air 38 to flow substantially vertically through the side assembly 14 from top to bottom, or from the bottom to the top. In exemplary embodiments, the second channel 23 is defined, at least in part, by the space between the rear surface of the backlight 21 and the rear surface of the display assembly housing 15, though any location is contemplated.
A first and a second side channel 32 may extend along either side of the side assembly 14. The side channels 32 may be configured to receive circulating gas 36. In exemplary embodiments, the side channels 32 are defined, at least in part, by the space between the second channel 23 and the side of the display assembly housing 15, though any location is contemplated.
One or both sides of the frame 12 may comprise a side gap 13 located between interior and exterior side panels. As such, the assembly 10 may comprise a first and a second side gap 13, where each is located on either side of the frame 12. In other exemplary embodiments, the assembly 10 may comprise only a first side gap 13. Apertures may be located along the interior panels of the side(s) of the frame 12 having the side gap(s) 13 such that circulating gas 36 may be passed from the electronics cavity 12 into and out of the side gap(s) 13. In exemplary embodiments, the circulating gas 36 may flow from the first side gap 13, through the first side channel 32, through the first channel 25, through the second side channel 32, through the second side gap 13, through the electronics cavity 18, and be returned to the first side gap 13, thereby forming a closed loop. In exemplary embodiments where the assembly 10 comprises only the first side gap 13, the circulating gas 36 may pass directly from the electronics cavity 18 into or out of the first or the second side channel 32. Additionally, the circulating gas 36 may be split and travel through first channel 25 located in each respective side assembly 14. Stated another way, the closed loop may pass through each side assembly 14 and return to the cavity 18. It is notable that the side gaps 13 are optional.
One or more fans 34 may be mounted to said apertures in the interior panels of the side of the frame 12 to force the circulating gas 36 through the closed loop, though it is contemplated that any number of fans 34 may be placed at any number of locations along the path of the circulating gas 36.
The bottom and top of the frame 12 may similarly comprise interior and exterior panels with an upper gap 41 and a lower gap 40 located therebetween, though such is not required. Apertures may be located along the exterior panels of the bottom and top of the frame 12 such that ambient air 38 may be ingested from outside of the assembly 10 and exhausted from inside of the assembly 10. These apertures may form the exhaust 9 and the intake 16. In exemplary embodiments, ambient air 38 may be ingested from the bottom of the assembly 10 into the lower gap 40. The ambient air 38 may then travel vertically upwards through the second channel 23 in the side assembly 14 and into the upper gap 41. The ambient air 38 may then be exhausted through the intake 16, thus forming an open loop. In the exemplary embodiments, the ambient air 38 may be split and travel through each of the second channels 23 located in each of the respective side assemblies 14.
One or more fans 34 may be mounted to said apertures in the exterior panels of the bottom of the frame 12 to force the ambient air 38 through the open loop, though it is contemplated that any number of fans 34 may be located in any number of locations along the path of the ambient air 38.
In exemplary embodiments where the side assembly 14 is an electronic display, the ambient air 38 flowing through the second channel 23 may be in thermal communication with the backlight 21 so as to absorb heat generated therefrom, though such is not required. In exemplary embodiments where the side assembly 14 is an illuminated poster holder, the ambient air 38 flowing through the second channel 23 may be in thermal communication with the illumination devices so as to absorb heat generated therefrom, though such is not required. In still other exemplary embodiments where the side assembly 14 is a cover, the ambient air 38 may optionally flow through a second channel 23 located in the cover, though such is not required. Regardless, the ambient air 38 flowing through the second channel 23 may be in thermal communication with circulating gas 36 flowing through the closed loop such that the relatively cool ambient air 38 may remove heat from the relatively warm circulating gas 36. The ambient air 38 flowing through the open loop may be in thermal communication with the circulating gas 32 flowing through the closed loop so as to absorb heat therefrom while not allowing the ambient air 38 and the circulating gas 32 to substantially mix. For example, without limitation, the ambient air 28 traveling through the second channel 23 may be in thermal communication with the circulating gas 38 flowing through the cavity 18.
It is notable that the use of airflow channels, such as but not limited to, the first channel 25, the second channel 23, and the side channels 32 may not be required in embodiments where the side assembly 14 is a poster holder or cover. In such embodiments, the airflow may be directed into the remaining side assembly 14 comprising such airflow channels. If no such side assembly 14 is utilized, the airflow may simply circulate within the cavity 18. In some exemplary embodiments, the poster holder or cover may still utilize some or all of aforementioned the airflow channels. Regardless, the number of fans utilized may be reduced or increased to accommodate the number of airflow channels used.
The shared electronic components 30 may be located on the plate, though such is not required. In exemplary embodiments, the side assemblies 14 of the same type (e.g., electronic displays, poster holders, or covers), including the electronic components 30 located on or in the side assemblies 14, are substantially identical for the front or rear facing side assembly 14 of the same type (e.g., when both side assemblies 14 comprise electronic displays or both side assemblies 14 comprise poster holders) such that the two may be interchanged. In this way, a single type of side assembly 14 to be used to replace any of that type side assembly 14 or may be freely substituted with a different type side assembly 14. For example, without limitation, a separate front and back side assembly 14 need not be stored as spares for a single assembly 10. Instead, a single spare side assembly 14 may be used to replace either the front or back side assembly 14. This may reduce the need to store additional spare side assemblies 14. Stated another way, a side assembly 14 comprising an electronic display may be placed on either the front or the rear of the assembly. Likewise, a side assembly 14 comprising an electronic display may be freely substituted with a side assembly 14 comprising a cover.
By placing the side assemblies 14 in the opened position, the electronics cavity 18, the plate 19, the electronics plate 42, the related electronic components 30 and additional electronic components 44 may be serviced. Additionally, the side assemblies 14 themselves may be serviced by removing the display assemblies from the hinging device 22 as previously discussed.
Various pass through devices 35 may be located in the frame 12 or other walls defining the cavity 18 such that power lines, communication lines, and the like may be passed into the cavity 18 from outside. These pass through devices 35 may be configured to provide a substantially air and water tight seal, though such is not required. In other embodiments, the pass through devices 35 may provide a level of ingress and egress protection. Any number and location of said pass through devices 35 are contemplated. This may help to reduce the number of entry and exit points in the assembly 10 and simplify the cabling. The pass through devices 35 may provide a connection/disconnection point for wiring and cabling. The cavity 18 may provide a substantially sealed, cooled, connected, and/or powered electronics cavity 18 for mounting electronic components, such as but not limited to, the additional electronic components 44 and the electronic components 30.
In other exemplary embodiments, where the side assembly 14 comprises a poster holder configured to hold a static poster, the side assembly 14 may comprise a transparent cover located above a plate to define a poster cavity, which may be configured hold the poster therebetween. An exemplary poster cavity is illustrated at
In exemplary embodiments, the side assemblies 14 may swing open horizontally (as shown in
Although the flow of the ambient air 38 and the circulating gas 36 may be shown and described herein with respect to particular directions and orientations, it is contemplated that the ambient air 38 and the circulating gas 36 may flow in other directions. For example, without limitation, ambient air 38 and circulating gas 36 shown as flowing clockwise may flow counter-clockwise, when shown flowing vertically from top to bottom may flow from bottom to top, when shown flowing horizontally from right to left may flow from left to right, when shown flowing vertically may flow horizontally, when shown flowing horizontally may flow vertically, and the like.
It is contemplated that the assembly 10, or various components thereof, may be adapted for and/or used with any size side assemblies 14 in any application. For example, but not to serve as a limitation, the assembly 10, or various components thereof, may be adapted for and/or used with a vehicle topper unit such as is illustrated and described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/450,365 filed Mar. 6, 2017, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
A fan 134 may be located on an aperture in the frame 112 and may be configured to permit the ingestion of ambient air 138. Once ingested, the ambient air 138 may travel horizontally through channels in the side assemblies 114 and exit through apertures on the other end of the frame 112. This may form an open loop. It is contemplated that the fan 134 may be located at any location along the path of the ambient air 138.
An electronics cavity 118 may be located between the rear surfaces of the side assemblies 114. The electronics cavity 118 may comprise a plate 142 that is configured to receive a number of electronic components 130 or additional electronic components 144 which may be mounted thereto. In exemplary embodiments, the plate 142 may be mounted to the frame 112. In other exemplary embodiments, the plate 142 may be mounted to, or form a part of, one of the side assemblies 114. Various pass through devices 135 may be located in the walls defining the cavity 118 such that power lines, communication lines, and the like may be passed into the cavity 118 from outside. The pass through devices 135 may be configured to provide a substantially air and water tight seal or otherwise provide ingress and egress protection. This may help to reduce the number of pass through points in the assembly 100 and simplify the cabling. Additionally, the pass through devices 135 may provide a single or limited number of connection or disconnection points for removing the wiring for servicing the side assemblies 114. In exemplary embodiments, the electronics cavity 118 may provide a cooled, powered, connected, and/or sealed area for electronic components, such as but not limited to, the electronic components 130 and the additional electronic components 144.
When either or both the of side assemblies 114 are placed in the open position, the electronics cavity 118 may be exposed. This may allow access to the electronics cavity 118, the plate 142, and the electronic components 130 such that personnel may service the electronic components 130 located therein. In exemplary embodiments, the side assemblies 114 may be selectively locked to the frame 112 such that the respective side assembly 114 cannot normally be moved from the closed position unless unlocked. This may assist in restricting access to the electronics cavity 118 to authorized personnel.
The frame 112 may comprise interior and exterior surfaces. In exemplary embodiments, a lower gap 140 may be located in the space between the interior and exterior surfaces of the frame 112 along a lower portion thereof. Stated another way, the lower gap 140 may be located between the bottom of the electronics cavity 118 and the bottom of the frame 112.
In exemplary embodiments, the struts 152 may be mounted to each of the respective side assemblies 114 in a rotatable fashion. The struts 152 may be mounted in a rotatable fashion by way of a pin, bearing, hinge, fastener, or the like, though any device or mounting configuration is contemplated. Regardless, the struts 152 may be configured to be temporarily secured to each of the respective side assemblies 114 such that the respective side assembly 114 is propped or otherwise held in the open position. While the struts 152 are discussed as being mounted to each of the respective side assemblies 114 and temporarily secured to the frame 112, it is contemplated that the struts 152 may instead be mounted to frame 112 and temporarily secured to each of the respective side assemblies 114.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/450,365 filed Mar. 6, 2017, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, describes an exemplary thermal management system for the assembly 100 including, but not limited to, open and closed loop pathways for ambient air and circulating gas.
It is contemplated that either or both of the side assemblies 114 may comprise an electronics display, a poster holder, or a cover. It is further contemplated that some or all of the electronic components 130 used to operate the side assemblies 114 may be located on the plate 142. It is also contemplated that the side assemblies 114 of the same type (e.g., comprising an electronic display, poster holder, or cover) may be substantially identical, such that the side assemblies 114 located on the left or right side of the assembly 100 may be freely substituted.
A first fastener 127 may extend through the first frame hinge plate 154, the first display hinge plate 156, and the second frame hinge plate 158. Likewise, a second fastener 127 may extend through the first frame hinge plate 154, the second display hinge plate 156, and the second frame hinge plate 158. The fastener 127 may be a pin or another device permitting rotational movement of the first and second display hinge plates 156. In exemplary embodiments, the second frame hinge plate 158 may be selectively secured to the respective side assembly 114 such that the respective side assembly 114 may be temporarily secured in the closed position. The frame hinge plate 156, the display hinge plate 154, and the fasteners 127 may be configured to bear all or substantially all of the weight of the respective side assembly 114.
The design of the hinge device 122 may provide for easy removal of one or both of the side assemblies 114 when servicing the assembly 100. The fasteners 127 may be removed from either side of the respectively side assembly 114 and the entire side assembly 114 may be removed. Additionally, the disconnection of wiring, along with other steps, may be required. A replacement side assembly 114 may then be installed. Additionally, the connection of wiring, along with other steps, may be required. The side assembly 114 being serviced may then be returned to a service center for servicing. This may minimize downtime of the assembly 100.
Regardless, the second open loop channel 262 may be defined by the space between the open loop channel cover 264 and the open loop channel plate 266. The second open loop channel 262 may further comprise one or more side panels 270 configured to extend between the open loop channel cover 264 and the open loop channel plate 266 to further define the second open loop channel 262.
Any number of electronic components or equipment 244 or 230 may be located in or near the second open loop channel 262, such as but not limited to, being mounted to the open loop channel cover 264 or the open loop channel plate 266.

The second open loop channel 262 may be configured to transfer heat from the side assemblies 214, the electronic components or equipment 244 or 230, other components of the assembly 210 to the ambient air passing through the second open loop channel 262. The second open loop channel 262 may comprise surface features, materials, or components configured to facilitate the transfer of heat, though such is not required. These may include, without limitation, fins, thermally conductive materials, heat exchangers, or the like. In exemplary embodiments, the open loop channel 262 may comprise a corrugated layer 246. It is contemplated that any number of fans 234 may be placed at any location near or along the second open loop channel 262 to force or encourage the flow of ambient air through the second open loop channel 262.
In exemplary embodiments, the ambient air 238 may enter the assembly 210 at or near the top of the assembly 210 or the respective side assembly 214. Similarly, in exemplary embodiments, the ambient air 238 may be exhausted at or near the bottom of the assembly 210 or the respective side assembly 214 such that the ambient air 238 flows vertically downwards through the second open loop channel 262. In other exemplary embodiments, the ambient air 238 may enter the assembly 210 or the respective side assembly 214 at or near the bottom of the assembly 210 or the respective side assembly 214 and ambient air 238 may exhaust the assembly 210 at or near the top of the assembly 210 or the respective side assembly 214 such that ambient air flows vertically upwards through the second open loop channel 262. The second open loop channel 262 may share the intake 241 and the exhaust 209 such that ambient air enters via the common intake 241 and is separated into flow paths which travel into the two side assemblies 214. In other exemplary embodiments, the second open loop channel 262 may have a separate intake and exhaust.
The oppositely facing side assembly 214 may comprise an electronic display 211 located in front of a backlight 221. Circulating gas 236 may pass through the first channel 225 defined by the space between the electronic display 211 and a cover panel 217. The circulating gas 236 may pass into a cavity 218 located between the side assemblies 214. The cavity 218 may contain one or more fans 234 for moving the circulating gas through the closed loop pathway. The cavity 218 may also comprise electronic components 230 or 244 and an electronics plate 242 for mounting the same. The cavity 218 may comprise one or more heat transfer devices 282, though such is not required. In such embodiments, ambient air 238 may also be passed through the heat transfer device 282, though such is not required.
The side assembly 214 embodiment illustrated and described in
In exemplary embodiments, the assembly 210 may be mounted in an elevated position at a downward angle. In exemplary embodiments, the assembly 210 may be mounted to a sign, pole, street lamp, street fixture, sidewalk fixture, building, structure, ground, or the like, though mounting to any surface is contemplated. The assembly 210 may be positioned at a downward angle, such that the side assembly 214 facing the ground may be viewed by those traveling underneath. The downward angle may be substantially 50 degrees, though any angle is contemplated.
In such embodiments, the second open loop channel 262 may be placed on the side assembly 214 which would normally receive the greatest solar load. For example, without limitation, the second open loop channel 262 may be placed on the side assembly 214 which would normally face upwards when mounted, though it is contemplated that the second open loop channel 262 may be located in either or both of the side assemblies 214. Such an embodiment may be used in conjunction with, but is not limited to, the exemplary assemblies 210 mounted in an elevated position at a downward angle, because the solar loading may primarily be experienced on the upward facing side assembly 214. In this way, the second open loop channel 262 may be configured to remove some or all of the solar loading experienced on the upward facing side assembly 214. In such embodiments, the upward facing side assembly 214 may comprise the second open loop channel 262 and a cover and the downward facing side assembly 214 may comprise an electronic display or static backlit poster, though any combination of side assemblies 214 is contemplated.
Any embodiment of the present invention may include any of the optional or preferred features of the other embodiments of the present invention. The exemplary embodiments herein disclosed are not intended to be exhaustive or to unnecessarily limit the scope of the invention. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the present invention so that others skilled in the art may practice the invention. Having shown and described exemplary embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art will realize that many variations and modifications may be made to the described invention. Many of those variations and modifications will provide the same result and fall within the spirit of the claimed invention. It is the intention, therefore, to limit the invention only as indicated by the scope of the claims.
