Abstract

A water barrier structure for display unit is arranged on one lateral side of a casing of a display unit. In the casing there are received an illuminating module and a display module of the display unit, the lateral side is provided with at least one air inlet and at least one air outlet. The water barrier structure includes at least one intake fan mounted in the at least one air inlet; at least one exhaust fan mounted in the at least one air outlet; and a plurality of water-stop caps used to cover the at least one air inlet and the at least one air outlet. With the specially structured intake fan, exhaust fan and water-stop caps, the water barrier structure can provide good water barrier effect while allows heat in the casing produced by the display unit to be effectively removed from the casing through air convection.

Claims (47)

1. A water barrier structure comprising:

a casing;

at least one air inlet being arranged on one lateral side of the casing;

at least one air outlet being arranged on the lateral side of the casing;

a plurality of waterproof caps being used to cover the at least one air inlet and the at least one air outlet, wherein the waterproof caps respectively include an external inclined panel; a plurality of internal slant plates being mounted in the waterproof cap in a staggered and generally zigzag manner; and a plurality of air vents being formed on a bottom of the waterproof cap; and

an outer cover being mounted to the lateral side of the casing to shield the waterproof caps; and the outer cover being formed with a plurality of convection openings.

2. A water barrier structure comprising:

a casing;

at least one air inlet being arranged on one lateral side of the casing;

at least one air outlet being arranged on the lateral side of the casing;

a plurality of waterproof caps being used to cover the at least one air inlet and the at least one air outlet;

a plurality of dust caps being respectively arranged between the at least one intake fan and a corresponding waterproof cap and between the at least one exhaust fan and a corresponding waterproof cap; and

an outer cover being mounted to the lateral side of the casing to shield the waterproof caps; and the outer cover being formed with a plurality of convection openings.

3. A water barrier structure comprising:

a casing, including a removable maintenance door;

at least one air inlet being arranged on one lateral side of the casing;

at least one air outlet being arranged on the lateral side of the casing;

a plurality of waterproof caps being used to cover the at least one air inlet and the at least one air outlet; and

an outer cover being mounted to the lateral side of the casing to shield the waterproof caps; and the outer cover being formed with a plurality of convection openings.

4. A water barrier structure comprising:

a casing;

at least one air inlet being arranged on one lateral side of the casing;

at least one air outlet being arranged on the lateral side of the casing;

a plurality of waterproof caps being used to cover the at least one air inlet and the at least one air outlet; and

an outer cover being mounted to the lateral side of the casing to shield the water-stop caps; and

the outer cover being formed with a plurality of convection openings;

wherein the outer cover further includes:

a plurality of water guiding shields being respectively outward and downward extended from upper sides of the convection openings; and

a plurality of drain holes being formed on a bottom of the outer cover.

5. A water barrier structure comprising:

a casing;

at least one air inlet being arranged on one lateral side of the casing;

at least one air outlet being arranged on the lateral side of the casing, wherein the at least one air inlet is arranged below the at least one air outlet;

a plurality of waterproof caps being used to cover the at least one air inlet and the at least one air outlet; and

an outer cover being mounted to the lateral side of the casing to shield the water-stop caps; and the outer cover being formed with a plurality of convection openings;

wherein the outer cover further includes:

a plurality of water guiding shields being respectively outward and downward extended from upper sides of the convection openings; and

a plurality of drain holes being formed on a bottom of the outer cover.

6. The water barrier structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer cover further includes:

a plurality of water guiding shields being respectively outward and downward extended from upper sides of the convection openings; and

a plurality of drain holes being formed on a bottom of the outer cover.

7. The water barrier structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the outer cover further includes:

a plurality of water guiding shields being respectively outward and downward extended from upper sides of the convection openings; and

a plurality of drain holes being formed on a bottom of the outer cover.

8. The water barrier structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the outer cover further includes:

a plurality of water guiding shields being respectively outward and downward extended from upper sides of the convection openings; and

a plurality of drain holes being formed on a bottom of the outer cover.
