Abstract
A display assembly includes a mounting structure with one or more cavities for electronic equipment located along a dedicated central airflow pathway for a first flow of ambient air. Each of a number of side assemblies are attached to a respective side of the mounting structure and include a front cover, a display layer located rearward of the front cover, an illumination device for illuminating the display layer when operated, and one or more dedicated side assembly airflow pathways.
Claims11
A display assembly comprising:
- a mounting structure comprising a dedicated central airflow pathway for a first flow of ambient air and one or more cavities for electronic equipment located along said dedicated central airflow pathway;
- and
- a number of side assemblies, each attached to a respective side of said mounting structure and comprising a front cover, a display layer located rearward of the front cover, an illumination device configured to illuminate the display layer when operated, one or more dedicated side assembly airflow pathways comprising a cooling channel for a dedicated flow of the ambient air and a closed loop airflow pathway for a dedicated flow of circulating gas;
- wherein said electronic equipment, which comprises electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment, is configured to provide functionality other than operation of said number of side assemblies;
- wherein said central airflow pathway, said cooling channels of said number of side assemblies, and said closed loop airflow pathways of said number of side assemblies are separated from one another inside the display assembly in accordance with at least ingress protection code IP65 ratings.
2 more elements
A display assembly comprising:
- a mounting structure comprising an intake area, an exhaust area, and one or more cavities, wherein said intake area, said exhaust area, and said one or more cavities define, at least in part, a dedicated central airflow pathway for a first flow of ambient air;
- electronic equipment located in at least one of said one or more cavities;
- one or more fans configured to provide said first flow of said ambient air through said dedicated central airflow pathway when operated;
- a first and second side assembly moveably attached to a first and second side of said mounting structure, respectively, each of said first and second side assemblies comprising:
- a front cover;
- a liquid crystal layer located rearward of the front cover;
- a number of light emitting diodes configured to provide direct backlighting to the liquid crystal layer when operated;
- a cooling channel for a dedicated flow of ambient air;
- a closed loop airflow pathway for a dedicated flow of circulating gas;
- a dedicated intake area fluidly connected to said cooling channel;
- a dedicated exhaust area fluidly connected to said cooling channel;
- a first set of one or more fans configured to provide said dedicated flow of said ambient air when operated;
- and
- a second set of one or more fans configured to provide said dedicated flow of said circulating gas when operated;
- a recessed compartment extending within an upper one of said one or more cavities, wherein said electronic equipment comprises electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment, a first portion of said EV charging equipment is located within said recessed compartment, and a second portion of said EV charging equipment is located within a lower one of said one or more cavities;
- and
- a series of apertures extending between said upper one of said one or more cavities and said lower one of said one or more cavities.
