[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronically controlled speaker assembly of the embodiment of the present invention includes a speaker 1 and an electronic control box 2 .

[0034] The speaker 1 is also called a horn and can be explosion-proof. The arrangement of the speaker 1 can enable the air-conditioning device to have functions such as sound prompts, alarms, and voice control, thereby making the use and control of the air-conditioning device more flexible and convenient.

[0035] A fixing portion 21 and an installation portion 22 are provided on the outside of the electric control box 2. The fixing portion 21 is provided on one side of the electric control box 2 and is used to fix the wiring harness 3. The installation portion 22 is provided on the other side of the electric control box 2 opposite to the fixing portion 21. The speaker 1 is assembled on the installation portion 22.

[0036] For example, Figure 1As shown, the electric control box 2 may include a box body, which may be generally square-box-shaped. The material of the box body may be plastic, etc. The fixing portion 21 and the mounting portion 22 may be fixed on the outer surface of the box body by integral injection molding. Specifically, the fixing portion 21 may be provided on the lower surface of the box body. The fixing portion 21 is a structural component having wiring and fixing functions, such as an electrical connector and a wire pressing structure. When in use, the two wiring harnesses 3 may be connected at the fixing portion 21 and fixed in a limited position.

[0037] The mounting portion 22 can be integrally formed on the upper surface of the box body. The mounting portion 22 can be a groove-shaped structure, a clip-shaped structure, etc. During assembly, the above-mentioned speaker 1 can be fixed at the mounting portion 22, so that the speaker 1 can be fixed on the electronic control box 2 and the integration of the speaker 1 and the electronic control box 2 can be realized.

[0038] The electronically controlled speaker assembly of the embodiment of the present invention realizes the integration of the electronic control box 2 and the speaker 1, thereby reducing the distance between the two and the amount of wiring harness 3, reducing space occupancy and facilitating the optimization of space layout.

[0039] Secondly, since the loudspeaker 1 is integrated on the electric control box 2, the loudspeaker 1 can also be directly electrically connected to the electric control box 2 through a wire, thereby eliminating the need for docking wires and achieving the effect of reducing costs.

[0040] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 22 is provided with a mounting slot 221, and the speaker 1 is plugged and assembled in the mounting slot 221. Figure 1 As shown, the mounting portion 22 can be a square structure as a whole, and the mounting groove 221 can be provided in the mounting portion 22. The mounting groove 221 can be a rectangular groove, and the mounting groove 221 has a groove 226 connected to the outside. During assembly, the speaker 1 can be directly inserted into the mounting groove 221 from the groove 226, thereby improving the convenience of assembly and enhancing the limiting effect of the speaker 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 22 includes two side panels 222 and a bottom panel 223. The two side panels 222 are disposed on the outside of the electrical control box 2 and are arranged relative to each other in the circumferential direction of the electrical control box 2. The bottom panel 223 is connected between the two side panels 222, and the space enclosed by the bottom panel 223 and the two side panels 222 forms a mounting groove 221.

[0042] For example, Figure 2As shown, the side panels 222 can be rectangular panels. Both side panels 222 can be arranged perpendicular to the upper surface of the box body, and the two side panels 222 can be spaced apart in the left-right direction. The bottom panel 223 can also be a rectangular panel. The bottom panel 223 can extend in the left-right direction, with the right side of the bottom panel 223 connected to the front end of the right side panel 222, and the left side of the bottom panel 223 connected to the front end of the left side panel 222. Thus, the two side panels 222 and the bottom panel 223 form a U-shaped structure, the interior space of which serves as the aforementioned mounting slot 221.

[0043] The slot 226 of the mounting slot 221 may face the rear side, and the upper side of the mounting slot 221 may also be open and formed with a port, which is connected to the slot 226 . During assembly, the speaker 1 may be assembled into the mounting slot 221 from the slot 226 and the port.

[0044] In some embodiments, the two side panels 222 are located on the same side of the bottom panel 223 , and a boss 224 is provided on the bottom panel 223 . The boss 224 protrudes toward the side of the bottom panel 223 toward the side panel 222 . The boss 224 is used to block the speaker 1 to limit the speaker 1 in the installation groove 221 .

[0045] For example, Figure 2 As shown, both side panels 222 can be located behind the bottom panel 223, and the boss 224 can be integrally formed at the upper edge of the bottom panel 223 and can protrude toward the rear of the boss 224. When the speaker 1 is assembled into the mounting slot 221, the front end of the speaker 1 can be stopped by the boss 224, thereby preventing the speaker 1 from falling out of the end of the mounting slot 221 and improving the stability of the assembly.

[0046] In some embodiments, a first rib 225 is provided on the boss 224 . The first rib 225 is provided on the side of the boss 224 facing the mounting groove 221 . The first rib 225 is used to abut against the speaker 1 so that a portion of the speaker 1 can be interference fit in the mounting groove 221 .

[0047] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the first rib 225 can be a strip-shaped structure and can be integrally formed on the inner side of the boss 224. The inner side of the boss 224 is the side of the boss 224 facing the housing. When the speaker 1 is assembled in the mounting groove 221, a portion of the front end of the speaker 1 can be clamped between the first rib 225 and the housing, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the speaker 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, there are multiple first ribs 225, and the multiple first ribs 225 are all provided on the side of the boss 224 facing the mounting groove 221, and the multiple first ribs 225 are arranged at intervals along the relative direction of the two side plates 222. Figure 2As shown, three first ribs 225 may be provided, and the three first ribs 225 may be arranged at equal intervals along the left-right direction. Thus, the number of clamping and fixing points for the speaker 1 may be increased, thereby further enhancing the stability of the fixing.

[0049] In some embodiments, the end surface of the side plate 222 facing away from the bottom plate 223 is a slope 2221, and the distance between the slope 2221 and the bottom plate 223 gradually decreases along the direction toward the outside of the electric control box 2. Figure 3 As shown, the end surface of the side plate 222 facing away from the bottom plate 223 can be the rear end surface of the side plate 222, and the rear end surfaces of the two side plates 222 can both be inclined surfaces 2221, and each inclined surface 2221 can be arranged tilted downward from the rear lower to the front upper direction.

[0050] Therefore, while satisfying the requirement of the side panel 222 to stop and limit the speaker 1 in the left and right directions, the material used for the side panel 222 can be reduced, thereby reducing costs. Secondly, the size of the above-mentioned slot 226 can also be increased, thereby facilitating the assembly of the speaker 1 into the above-mentioned installation slot 221 or removing it from the installation slot 221, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0051] In some embodiments, a second rib 25 is provided on the outer surface of the electric control box 2 . The second rib 25 is located in the mounting groove 221 and is arranged opposite to the first rib 225 . The speaker 1 is clamped and limited between the first rib 225 and the second rib 25 .

[0052] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the second rib 25 can be integrally formed and provided on the upper surface of the box body of the electric control box 2. The second rib 25 can extend in the front-to-back direction. There can be multiple second ribs 25, for example, two or three second ribs 25 can be provided. The multiple second ribs 25 can be arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The first rib 225 and the second rib 25 can be arranged relative to each other in the upper-lower direction.

[0053] When the speaker 1 is inserted into the mounting groove 221 , the speaker 1 may be clamped between the first rib 225 and the second rib 25 , thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the speaker 1 by the first rib 225 and the second rib 25 .

[0054] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 223 is provided with an opening 2231 for exposing the speaker 1, and the opening 2231 penetrates the bottom plate 223 along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 223. Figure 4 As shown, the opening 2231 can be a square hole. The setting of the opening 2231 makes the bottom plate 223 generally U-shaped. When the speaker 1 is assembled in the installation groove 221, the front end of the speaker 1 can be exposed from the opening 2231, which facilitates the routing of the speaker 1 and is also beneficial to improving heat dissipation and sound projection.

[0055] In some embodiments, the opening 24 of the electric control box 2 and the notch 226 of the mounting slot 221 face the same side of the electric control box 2. Figure 2 As shown, the opening 24 of the electric control box 2 can be arranged toward the rear, and the notch 226 of the mounting slot 221 can also face toward the rear. Thus, when the electric control box 2 is assembled, the opening 24 of the electric control box 2 and the notch 226 of the mounting slot 221 can both face outward, thereby facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the electrical components and the speaker 1 in the electric control box 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, a columnar portion 23 is provided on the outside of the electric control box 2 . The columnar portion 23 is provided on the outside of the slot 226 of the mounting slot 221 . The columnar portion 23 is used to block the speaker 1 to prevent the speaker 1 from falling out of the mounting slot 221 .

[0057] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the cylindrical portion 23 can be cylindrical and integrally formed on the upper surface of the electrical control box 2. The cylindrical portion 23 can extend vertically. The cylindrical portion 23 can be positioned behind the notch 226 of the mounting slot 221 and spaced a certain distance from the notch 226. When the speaker 1 is assembled into the mounting slot 221, the cylindrical portion 23 can contact the rear side of the speaker 1, preventing the speaker 1 from dislodging from the notch 226 of the mounting slot 221 and further ensuring the structural stability of the assembly.

[0058] In some embodiments, a notch 11 is provided at a corner of the speaker 1 , an ear plate 12 is provided in the notch 11 , at least a portion of the columnar portion 23 is embedded in the notch 11 , and the columnar portion 23 is connected to the ear plate 12 via fasteners.

[0059] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the notch 11 can be located at the left rear corner of the loudspeaker 1. The notch 11 can be in the shape of a quarter arc, and the ear plate 12 can be a quarter of a circle. The ear plate 12 can be located within the notch 11 and vertically located in the middle of the notch 11. The ear plate 12 can be provided with a through hole. When the loudspeaker 1 is placed in the mounting groove 221, a portion of the columnar portion 23 can be embedded in the notch 11 on the lower side of the ear plate 12, and the columnar portion 23 can abut against the ear plate 12. Fasteners such as screws can then be passed through the ear plate 12 and connected to the columnar portion 23, thereby fully ensuring the fixing effect and structural stability.
