Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a television storage device capable of watching television in a bathroom.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a bathroom TV storage device of this type has a TV in which a waterproof box 2 is closed on a wall panel 1 of a bathroom unit with a lid 4 having a transparent window plate 3 as shown in FIG. A storage box 5 is attached, and a television 6 is installed therein. The television storage box 5 is provided with an intake port 9 and an exhaust port 10 for communicating the space outside the wall panel 8 which is a gap between the building 7 and the wall panel 1 and the inside of the box body 2. To discharge the hot air in the box 2 to the outer space 8 of the wall panel.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, there is little problem if the space 8 outside the wall panel can be made sufficiently large. However, since the gap between the wall 7 of the building and the wall 1 of the bathroom unit is generally small, Even when the fan 11 exhausts the hot air in the box 2 to the space 8 outside the bathroom, the hot air stays around the intake port 9, and the hot air exhausted to the intake air from the intake port 9 returns to remarkably cool the television 6. There was a problem of inhibiting.

In order to solve the conventional problem, the present invention has a structure in which the exhaust air from the TV storage box is not recirculated to the intake air flowing into the TV storage box from the space outside the wall panel through the air inlet, thereby effectively cooling the TV. The purpose is to do.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides an air inlet that allows the outside space of a wall panel and the inside of a television storage box to communicate with each other in an air-permeable manner, and an exhaust opening that opens to an upper space inside the television storage box, from the ceiling of the bathroom unit. An exhaust portion that forms a vent passage that is freely ventilated is provided at the discharge port of the space.

According to the present invention, since the space for discharging the exhaust air from the exhaust unit for eliminating hot air in the TV storage box is not the conventional space outside the wall panel but the space above the ceiling, the TV storage from the space outside the wall panel is realized. The exhaust air does not return to the intake air into the box, and cold air can always be sucked.

Embodiment 1 A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Is a wall panel of a bathroom unit, and 2 is a box attached to the wall panel 1, in which a television 3 is mounted on a mounting base 4 and installed toward a bathroom a.

In the cabinet 5 of the television 3, a television intake hole 6 is formed on the lower side, and a television exhaust hole 7 is formed on the upper side.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a lid, which fixes the transparent window plate 9 in a waterproof manner, aligns the flange portion 12 with the flange portion 11 of the opening 10 opened toward the bathroom a of the box body 2, sandwiches the packing 13 and tightens the screws. It is fixed.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an operation switch attached to the lid 8, which is connected to a television controller 15 placed below the mounting base 4 so that the television 3 can be operated from the bathroom a.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an external speaker of the television, which is attached to a hole 17 at the bottom of the box 2 via a thin waterproof packing 18 so that the sound of the television 3 can be transmitted to the bathroom a without difficulty.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a mask, which is provided with a window hole 20 on the front surface of the lid 8 facing the transparent window plate 9 and through which the television 3 can be seen, and an operation switch hole 21 for looking into the operation switch 14, so that the mask is cosmetically covered.

The above-described box 2, lid 8, and mask 19 constitute a television storage box 22.

23 is the wall of the building that houses the bathroom unit.
The space between 23 and the wall panel 1 of the bathroom unit is defined as a space b outside the wall panel.

An intake port 24 is formed to allow air to flow freely between the outer space b of the wall panel and the inside of the television storage box 22 to form an intake passage (a).

An exhaust part 25 is formed in the upper part of the box 2 and the exhaust part 25 is formed.
Reference numeral 25 denotes an exhaust inlet 26 opening into the upper space of the box 2, a bush 27 connected thereto, and a lower end inserted into the bush 27, and an outlet 28 at the upper end thereof passes through the ceiling 29 of the bathroom unit,
It is composed of a cylindrical exhaust pipe 30 opening in the space above the ceiling c, a mesh 31 of about 3 mesh attached to the vicinity of the exhaust port 28 so as to cover the opening face, and forms an exhaust flow path (b). I have.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a heat insulating material such as styrofoam attached to the outside of the wall panel 1 and covers at least the lower part from the position where the box body 2 is attached with a width of about 1 US.

Reference numeral 33 denotes a storage panel provided with a storage shelf 34, which covers the periphery of the exhaust tube 30 and the TV storage box 22 in a decorative manner.

According to the above-described configuration, when the television 3 is used, hot air is discharged from the television exhaust hole 7 due to internal heat generation and rises into the upper space of the box 2.

The upper part of the box 2 is provided with the exhaust inlet 26 of the exhaust part 25 and the exhaust pipe 30 connected thereto, so that the hot air of the television 3 flows into this, and the exhaust pipe 30 produces a suction effect like a chimney. Then, the hot air is naturally drawn upward and discarded in the space c above the ceiling.

On the other hand, since the air inlet 24 faces the lower part of the television 3, the cool air in the intake passage (b) from the space b outside the wall panel flows to the lower part of the television 3, to the television controller 15, etc. There is an effect of flowing into the inside and causing a natural cooling effect. Further, since the intake and exhaust in the television storage box 22 are not performed from the same space b outside the wall panel as in the conventional example, there is an effect that the exhaust does not return to the intake and the cooling effect is high.

In order to cool the inside of the television storage box 22, it is important that the temperature of the air from the air inlet 24 is low. However, when the steam in the bathroom a is filled with high-temperature steam, the wall panel 1 is also heated. Since the heat insulating material 32 is stretched on the outside of the wall panel 1, the heat of the wall panel 1 does not heat the air in the space b outside the wall panel. It is safe to go.

Since the exhaust pipe 30 penetrates through the ceiling 29 and is exposed behind the ceiling, there is a concern that rats may enter into it.However, as a structure in which a net 31 is stretched to close the opening near the upper end of the exhaust pipe 30 It has the effect of preventing the invasion of rats.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, detailed description is omitted, and different parts are mainly described. The fan 35 is configured to blow air upward in the exhaust passage (b) of the exhaust unit 25. Therefore, the exhaust from the exhaust stack 30 has the effect of simultaneously increasing the chimney effect and increasing the air flowing in from the intake port 24, and has the effect of increasing the cooling effect of the television 3 and the television controller 15 described above.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, detailed description is omitted, and different parts are mainly described. Since the exhaust inlet 26 of the exhaust unit 25 is formed in the shape of a hood 36 that is close to and covers the exhaust hole 7 of the television 3, the suction effect of the exhaust unit 25 is
The air outlet 7 has a strong effect on the inside of the television 3 to improve the flow of air therethrough, and has an effect of increasing the cooling effect of each component inside the television.

Effects of the Invention According to the bathroom television storage device having the structure of the present invention as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) The TV storage box is provided with an air inlet that allows the space outside the wall panel and the TV storage box to ventilate, and an exhaust part that opens in the upper space inside the TV storage box and has an outlet in the space above the ceiling. With this structure, the exhaust air from the exhaust port is not exhausted to the vicinity of the intake port, preventing the temperature of the intake air from rising due to the recirculation of exhaust gas to the intake port, and thus impairing the cooling effect of the TV. There is no.

(2) Since the exhaust section faces the upper space above the ceiling, a suction effect like a chimney works. Hot exhaust air from the TV is naturally sucked into the exhaust section and rises to the space above the ceiling. This has the effect of promoting ventilation in the TV storage box.
