摘要:
An electronic display which can be mounted above a paved surface in an outdoor environment. A surface or plate is placed behind the electronic display to define a gap where cooling air can be drawn through said gap in order to cool the electronic display. A plurality of ribs may be placed within the gap and in thermal communication with the electronic display. The density of the ribs may be varied according to the inlet and exhaust openings for the cooling air. The ribs may be placed at a higher density near the exhaust to account for the increase in temperature of the cooling air as it travels through the gap.
摘要:
A system for cooling an electronic image assembly using ambient gas. The system contains a plurality of channels place behind the electronic image assembly and preferably in conductive thermal communication with the image assembly. Ambient gas is ingested into the display housing and directed to a first manifold which distributes the ambient gas to the plurality of channels. A second manifold preferably collects the ambient gas from the channels after absorbing heat from the electronic image assembly and/or channels. The second manifold then preferably directs the ambient gas towards an exhaust aperture and out of the display housing. Circulating gas may also be used to cool a front portion of the electronic image assembly. A cross through plate may be used to allow the ambient gas and circulating gas to cross paths without mixing.
摘要:
An expanded heat sink for transferring heat from an electronic display component to a path of cooling air is disclosed. A continuous sheet may define a series of channels where the cooling air is blown through the channels and along the continuous sheet. When viewed along the path of the cooling air and oriented horizontally, the continuous sheet may define a series of four-sided polygons having top, bottom, left side, and right side portions where either the top or bottom portions are absent from each polygon. The absent top portions may be supplied by a front plate or the rear portion of an electronic display. The absent bottom portions maybe supplied by a rear plate. One or more components of the electronic display may be placed in thermal communication with the sheet and/or front/rear plates to transfer heat from the components to the cooling air.
