[0048] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0049] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "axial", "radial", "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0050] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0051] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0052] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0053] With the development of in-vehicle intelligence, the application scenarios of car audio systems have received more attention from users. Among the existing technologies, car audio systems usually adopt a fixed installation structure, limiting their use to the inside of the vehicle; or even if they are detachable, their structure is complex, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are relatively high.

[0054] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 A mounting mechanism for installing a vehicle audio system according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0055] It should be understood that the speaker body in this embodiment of the invention includes a complete speaker system, including: speaker housing, subwoofer, midrange speaker, tweeter, motherboard, battery and other modules, and is a speaker that can operate independently.

[0056] like Figures 1-3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a mounting mechanism for installing a vehicle audio system includes a housing 30 and a locking component. The housing 30 is provided with a receiving cavity 31 to receive the audio body 40 of the vehicle audio system. A locking component is also provided to lock and unlock the audio body 40, such that the locking component can lock the audio body 40 when it moves into the receiving cavity 31, and the audio body 40 can move relative to the enclosure assembly after the locking component unlocks the audio body 40. The audio body 40 can move from the outside of the housing 30 to the inside of the receiving cavity 31, and can also move from the inside of the receiving cavity 31 to the outside of the housing 30.

[0057] With the above configuration, when the speaker body 40 needs to be removed from the receiving cavity 31, the state of the locking tongue 22 can be controlled by the pressing member 21. When the pressing member 21 is subjected to external force and moves towards the bottom of the receiving cavity 31 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the receiving cavity 31, the pressing member 21 pushes the locking tongue 22 away from the center of the receiving cavity 31 under the action of external force, thereby unlocking the speaker body 40 from the receiving cavity 31, allowing the user to remove it for use outside the vehicle. When it is necessary to lock the speaker body 40 in the receiving cavity 31, the locking tongue 22 abuts against the speaker body 40, and the pressing member 21 returns to the locked position. In this way, the car audio system can be used in conjunction with the vehicle, or it can be detached from the vehicle and used as an independent audio system, greatly enriching the usage scenarios of the car audio system and successfully expanding it to the space outside the vehicle, eliminating the inconvenience of users bringing their own audio system. At the same time, the installation mechanism has a simple structure, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-3 The pressing member 21 is embedded in the housing 30 and can move in the axial direction of the housing 30. When the pressing member 21 moves in the axial direction, it pushes the locking tongue 22 to move in the radial direction of the housing 30, thereby unlocking the speaker body 40 from the receiving cavity 31. Specifically, the pressing member 21 can be connected to the housing 30 by being embedded. When the pressing member 21 is subjected to external force, it moves in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the receiving cavity 31 (i.e., the axial direction of the housing 30) toward the bottom of the receiving cavity 31, so that the pressing member 21 pushes the locking tongue 22 to move in the radial direction of the housing 30, thereby unlocking the speaker body 40 from the receiving cavity 31.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The locking assembly also includes an elastic connector 23, to which the latch 22 is connected. In other embodiments of the invention, as shown in the figure, when the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the latch 22 is in the first position of the receiving cavity 31, and the elastic connector 23 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy; when the locking assembly is in the locked state, the latch 22 is in the second position of the receiving cavity 31, and the elastic connector 23 releases part or all of its elastic potential energy. Specifically, the first position is as follows: Figure 8 At point D as shown, the second position is as follows: Figure 8At point E shown, the first position is closer to the housing 30 than the second position. The elastic connector 23 can be a spring or other component, and one end of the elastic connector 23 can be connected to the latch 22 by means of adhesive bonding or hinge connection; alternatively, fixing posts 221 can be provided on opposite sides of the latch 22, and the spring can be sleeved on the fixing posts 221. The first position is the unlocked position, and the second position is the locked position. When the pressing member 21 is subjected to external force and moves towards the bottom of the receiving cavity 31, the locking tongue 22 retracts from the cavity surface of the receiving cavity 31. The locking tongue 22 moves from the second position to the first position, the elastic connecting member 23 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy, and finally the locking tongue 22 is in the first position of the receiving cavity 31, which is the unlocked position. When the pressing member 21 is not subjected to external force, the elastic connecting member 23 releases elastic potential energy, and the locking tongue 22 is pushed by the elastic force of the elastic connecting member 23 from the first position to the second position. The locking tongue 22 finally extends to the cavity surface of the receiving cavity 31 and reaches the locked position. During this process, the locking tongue 22 pushes the pressing member 21 away from the bottom of the receiving cavity 31. Through the above design, the locking tongue 22 can automatically return from the unlocked position to the locked position, realizing more flexible and reciprocating locking and unlocking.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 6-7 The housing 30 has protruding limiting ribs 32, and the locking component is installed inside the housing 30 through the limiting ribs 32. Specifically, multiple limiting ribs 32 protrude from the outer surface of the housing 30 and are close to the opening on the housing 30. At least two limiting ribs 32 are arranged opposite each other to form a mounting groove 321 with a stepped surface 322. The locking component is partially embedded in the mounting groove 321. The locking component is fixedly installed on the housing 30 by the limiting ribs 32, which can make the structure more stable.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 6-7 The pressing component 21 includes a pressing part 211 and a pressing part 212. The pressing part 211 is used to withstand externally applied force, and the pressing part 212 is used to push the locking tongue 22 to move in the radial direction of the housing 30. Specifically, the pressing part 211 is disposed on the surface of the housing 30, and the user applies force to the mounting mechanism by directly pressing the pressing part 211. When the pressing part 211 is pressed and moves towards the bottom of the housing 30, the pressing part 212, which is fixedly connected to the pressing part 211, is also driven and moves towards the bottom of the housing 30 to push the locking tongue 22 to move in the radial direction of the housing 30. The pressing part 211 and the pressing part 212 can be separately molded and then fixedly connected together, or they can be integrally injection molded into a whole. The pressing part 211 and the pressing part 212 are connected into a whole, and the cross-section of this whole can be "T" shaped.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-8The pressing part 212 includes a first transition slope 2121, and the locking tongue 22 has a second slope 222. The pressing member 21 pushes the locking tongue 22 to move in the radial direction of the housing 30 through the cooperation of the first transition slope 2121 and the second slope 222; or the locking tongue 22 pushes the pressing member 21 to move in the axial direction of the housing 30 through the cooperation of the second slope 222 and the first transition slope 2121. Specifically, the pressing part 212 may have a first transition slope 2121, and the locking tongue 22 may have a second slope 222. The inclination angle of the first transition slope 2121 matches that of the second slope 222 in the locking tongue 22. The first transition slope 2121 and the second slope 222 slide in contact with each other, forming a wedge-shaped transmission mechanism. The pressing member 21 engages with the first transition slope 2121 and the second slope 222 to push the locking tongue 22 to move in the radial direction of the housing 30; the locking tongue 22 engages with the second slope 222 and the first transition slope 2121 to push the pressing member 21 to move in the axial direction of the housing 30. When the pressing member 21 is subjected to an external force, the pressing part 211 transmits the force to the squeezing part 212, the first transition slope 2121 and the second slope 222 slide in contact with each other, the locking tongue 22 moves in the radial direction of the housing 30, and the locking tongue 22 returns to the unlocked position. When the locking tongue 22 returns to the locked position, the second slope 222 inside the locking tongue 22 engages with the first transition slope 2121, and under the action of the second slope 222, the pressing member 21 moves in the axial direction of the housing 30 away from the bottom of the housing 30. This design utilizes the relative movement between the inclined surfaces to convert the up-and-down movement of the pressing member 21 into the left-and-right movement of the locking tongue 22, thereby achieving the locking and unlocking functions of the speaker body. More preferably, to strengthen the structure of the pressing part 212 or better guide the movement of the pressing member 21, a first reinforcing rib 2122 and a second reinforcing rib 2123 in rectangular shape can be provided on both parallel sides of the first transition inclined surface 2121. The first reinforcing rib, the second reinforcing rib, and the first transition inclined surface can be directly injection molded as a single piece or molded separately and then fixedly connected. The first transition inclined surface 2121 is located between the first reinforcing rib 2122 and the second reinforcing rib 2123 and connects naturally. The width of the first reinforcing rib 2122 is smaller than the width of the second reinforcing rib. It should be noted that the number of pressing members 21 is the same as the number of locking tongues 22. One pressing member 21 and one locking tongue 22 form a set of wedge-shaped transmission mechanisms. In this embodiment, a set of wedge-shaped transmission mechanisms is designed on each of a set of diagonals of the housing 30, and the shape of the pressing member 21 is adapted to the shape of the cabinet assembly to jointly form the complete outer shell of the cabinet assembly.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7The locking assembly also includes a fixing member 24; the fixing member 24 is embedded in the housing 30, and has a cavity 241 inside, which is used to accommodate the bolt 22 and the elastic connector 23. Specifically, in order to better fix the bolt 22 and the elastic connector 23, the locking assembly may also be designed with a fixing member 24. The fixing member 24 is embedded in the mounting groove 321 on the housing 30. The fixing member 24 may be designed in the shape of a cuboid or the like, and has a cavity 241 inside, which is used to accommodate the bolt 22 and the elastic connector 23.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-7 The fixing member 24 has a protruding positioning rib 242, which supports the latch 22 and limits its travel. The latch 22 is slidably installed within the fixing member 24. The positioning rib 242 has a stepped surface, which limits the travel of the latch 22. Support portions 224 are provided on both sides of the latch 22, which support the latch 22 against the positioning rib 242. Specifically, the positioning rib 242 protrudes inward from the cavity 241 of the fixing member 24, forming a long strip structure parallel to the sliding direction of the latch 22. The positioning rib 242 can be arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the latch 22. The height and width of the positioning rib 242 are designed according to the dimensions of the latch 22 to ensure that the latch 22 can be stably supported on the positioning rib 242 during sliding. The latch 22 has support portions 224 on both sides. The support portions 224 can be integrally formed with the latch 22, or they can be separately formed and then connected to the latch 22 by bonding, hinge, or other connection methods. The support portions 224 are connected to the fixing posts 221 by injection molding or other methods, and the elastic connectors 23 are connected to the fixing posts 221 by sleeve or other methods. The movement stroke of the latch 22 is limited by the stepped surface on the positioning rib 242; when the support portion 224 contacts the stepped surface, it reaches the limit position of the set stroke.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7The fixing member 24 has a first opening 243 on the side near the speaker body 40, and the housing 30 has a second opening 33, which is opposite to the first opening 243. Specifically, the latch 22 is installed in the cavity 241 of the fixing member 24. The shape and size of the first opening 243 match the end of the latch 22, ensuring that the latch 22 can smoothly extend and retract from the first opening 243. The edge of the first opening 243 can also be designed with chamfers or rounded corners to reduce friction and wear of the latch 22 during extension and retraction. The second opening 33 on the housing 30 is opposite to the first opening 243 of the fixing member 24, and the two are matched in position and size. The shape and size of the second opening 33 also match the end of the latch 22, ensuring that the latch 22 can smoothly extend and retract through the second opening 33. The edge of the second opening 33 can also be designed with chamfers or rounded corners to reduce friction and wear between the latch 22 and the housing 30. In some embodiments, the matching design of the first opening 243 and the second opening 33 also includes a sealing structure. For example, sealing strips or gaskets can be placed at the edges of the opening to prevent dust, moisture, or other impurities from entering the housing 30. This sealing design not only improves the product's dust and water resistance but also enhances its overall durability.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The locking assembly also includes a guide member 25, which has a guide hole 251. The pressing member 21 passes through the guide hole 251 and is inserted into the guide member 25. The guide member 25 is connected to the fixing member 24. Specifically, the shape of the bottom surface of the guide member 25 can match the upper part of the fixing member 24, and it is connected to the fixing member 24 by screws, clips, or other fastening methods to form an integral structure that protects the internal components. The guide member 25 has a guide hole 251, which can be a flat hole or a cylindrical hole. Part of the pressing member 21 passes through the guide hole 251 and moves up and down within the guide hole 251. The connection between the guide member 25 and the fixing member 24 is designed with a sealing structure, such as a sealing gasket or sealing strip, to prevent dust, moisture, or other impurities from entering the cavity 241 of the fixing member 24. This sealing design not only improves the dustproof and waterproof performance of the product but also enhances the overall durability of the product.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8The inner surface of the housing 30 is provided with one of several slide rails 34 or several slide grooves 41; the speaker body 40 is provided with the other of the slide grooves 41 or slide rails 34, and the slide rails 34 and slide grooves 41 cooperate to limit the movement trajectory of the speaker body 40. Specifically, the number and distribution of slide rails 34 and slide grooves 41 can be reasonably designed on the inner surface of the housing 30 and the surface of the speaker body 40 according to the structure and size of the speaker body 40. For example, in this embodiment, the speaker body 40 is rectangular, and a slide rail 34 can be provided at each of the four corners of the housing 30; correspondingly, matching slide grooves 41 are provided at the four corners of the speaker body 40. The length of the slide rail 34 can cover the entire movement stroke of the speaker body 40 within the receiving cavity 31, so that the speaker body 40 can always be stably supported and guided during movement. The cross-sectional shape of the slide rail 34 can be of various forms, such as the common T-shape, dovetail shape, etc.; in this embodiment, a common straight slide rail 34 is selected. During installation, first align the slide groove 41 on the speaker body 40 with the slide rail 34 inside the receiving cavity 31, and then slowly push the speaker body 40 into the receiving cavity 31 along the slide rail 34. As the speaker body 40 moves, the slide groove 41 slides smoothly on the slide rail 34 until the speaker body 40 reaches the appropriate installation position. At this point, the locking tongue 22 moves to the locked position to lock the speaker body 40. When it is necessary to remove the speaker body 40, press the pressing member 21 to make the locking tongue 22 reach the unlocked position. The speaker body 40 moves out of the receiving cavity 31 axially along the movement trajectory defined by the slide rail 34 and the slide groove 41. Due to the cooperation of the slide rail 34 and the slide groove 41, the speaker body 40 is more stable and accurate during movement, making it easier for the user to remove it smoothly. When storing the speaker body 40 back in the receiving cavity 31, whether pushed manually or automatically retracted with the help of an auxiliary device, the speaker body 40 also moves along the trajectory defined by the slide rail 34 and the slide groove 41. This matching structure not only provides precise guidance for the movement of the speaker body 40, but also enhances the stability of the entire vehicle audio structure, so that even if the vehicle is subjected to bumps and vibrations during driving, the speaker body 40 can be firmly located in the housing cavity 31, avoiding damage or abnormal noise caused by shaking.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7A first metal insert 50 is provided in the groove 41 and / or slide rail 34 on the inner surface of the housing 30, and the first metal insert 50 is electrically connected to the speaker body 40. A second metal insert is provided in the groove 41 and / or slide rail 34 of the speaker body 40, and the second metal insert can be electrically connected to the speaker body 40 and the first metal insert 50. Specifically, when the groove 41 is designed on the speaker body 40 and the slide rail 34 that mates with the groove 41 is designed on the surface of the housing 30, the number of second metal inserts can be selected as needed. They are embedded in the groove 41 of the speaker body 40 through injection molding, forming an integrated structure with the speaker body 40. The second metal inserts are electrically connected to the components inside the speaker body 40 to achieve data communication. This design provides a reliable electrical connection for the speaker body 40. Second metal inserts are embedded in the four grooves 41 of the speaker body 40 through injection molding, and the second metal inserts are connected to the power supply and data transmission lines inside the speaker body 40. The first metal insert 50 is fixed within the slide rail 34 of the housing 30 via injection molding, forming an integrated structure with the slide rail 34. When the speaker body 40 is locked within the receiving cavity 31, the first metal insert 50 contacts and connects with the second metal insert. The first metal insert 50 communicates with the vehicle control system and establishes data interaction. The second metal insert on the speaker body 40 and the first metal insert 50 on the slide rail 34 of the housing 30 are press-fitted together to ensure continuity and prevent momentary disconnection. Data interaction between the speaker body and the vehicle is achieved through injection-molded metal inserts within the guide rail / slide, avoiding mechanical impact and the inconvenience of manual connection.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-3 The speaker body 40 is provided with a fixing groove 42, and the locking tongue 22 overlaps with the fixing groove 42 to fix the speaker body 40 in the locked position. Specifically, the speaker body 40 is provided with a fixing groove 42, and part of the locking tongue 22 overlaps in the fixing groove 42, which can fix the speaker body 40 more stably in the locked position.

[0070] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle audio system includes a mounting mechanism.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-7The car audio system also includes a pop-out assembly 70, which includes an elastic element 71 and a support element 72. The support element 72 is connected to the housing 30 via the elastic element 71 and is located between the housing 30 and the audio body 40. Specifically, the elastic element 71 and the support element 72 cooperate to push the audio body 40 to move in the axial direction. The elastic element 71 and the support element 72 are arranged on the housing 30 as needed and work together in the pop-out assembly 70 to achieve the smooth pop-out and retraction of the audio body 40. More specifically, the elastic element 71 may include a spring, elastic rubber, or elastic plastic, etc., and a spring is selected in this embodiment. The elastic element 71 is respectively disposed on the four sides of the housing 30 relative to the outer side of the receiving cavity 31 and is connected to the support element 72. In the locked state, the elastic element 71 is stretched and stores elastic potential energy. When the locking assembly unlocks the audio body 40, the elastic element 71 releases the stored elastic potential energy and transmits the thrust to the audio body 40 through the support element 72, causing it to move in the axial direction away from the bottom of the receiving cavity 31. The design of the support member 72 typically needs to match the shape and movement trajectory of the speaker body 40 to ensure smooth and uninterrupted movement of the speaker body 40 during ejection and retraction. The support member 72 can be made of plastic and partially extends through the bottom of the receiving cavity 31, conforming to the shape of the bottom of the cavity 31, to support the speaker body 40. During the ejection of the speaker body 40, the thrust of the elastic member 71 is transmitted through the support member 72, causing the speaker body 40 to move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory until it reaches the preset ejection position. At this point, a portion of the speaker body 40 protrudes from the receiving cavity 31, making it easy for the user to retrieve. When the speaker body 40 is pushed back into the receiving cavity 31, the elastic member 71 is compressed again, storing elastic potential energy to prepare for the next ejection.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-7 The housing 30 has a guide groove 35, and the support member 72 has a guide portion 721, a portion of which slides through the guide groove 35. Specifically, the shape of the support member 72 is substantially adapted to the cross-section of the housing 30 to ensure stable sliding within the housing 30. The edge of the support member 72 has a guide portion 721 designed to slide within the guide groove 35 on the housing 30; for example, it can be designed as a rectangle or other suitable geometry. A portion of the guide portion 721 slides through the guide groove 35. The guide groove 35 is provided on the surface of the housing 30 and extends along the direction of movement of the speaker body 40.

[0073] In some embodiments, the speaker body 40 and the receiving cavity 31 of the housing 30 are interference-fitted. The size of the interference fit can be precisely calculated and verified by testing, so that the speaker body 40 can be securely installed in the housing 30 and can be smoothly pushed out or put back in when needed.

[0074] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a car audio system includes a mounting mechanism. By employing the mounting mechanism, users can either directly connect the car audio system to the vehicle and control and use it via the central control system, or remove the audio system for independent use, thus enriching the usage scenarios of the car audio system. Simultaneously, it offers low manufacturing costs, ease of maintenance, and an improved user experience.

[0075] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a vehicle includes a vehicle audio system. It is understood that the vehicle audio system is mechanically fixed to the vehicle (not shown) by in-vehicle mounting hardware (not shown) in a manner typically using bolts and nuts.
