For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] Embodiment 1.

[0034] like Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-7 As shown, a portable speaker provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a speaker host 10, and the speaker host 10 is a machine capable of broadcasting. The speaker host 10 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 adjacent to each other. For example, when the cross-section of the speaker host 10 is a rectangle or a rounded rectangle, it has at least four continuous adjacent surfaces, two of which are located at the bottom when the speaker host 10 is placed as the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 described in this embodiment. Of course, the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 can be surfaces connected at an angle, or surfaces with a circular arc transition. In this embodiment, the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 with a circular arc transition are used as an example for explanation.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the portable speaker also includes a skin layer 20, and the skin layer 20 is divided into a fixing portion 201 and a supporting portion 202, that is, the block-shaped skin layer 20 is divided into a fixing portion 201 and a supporting portion 202, wherein the fixing portion 201 is fixedly connected to a partial area of ​​the first surface 11 away from the second surface 12, and the fixing portion 201 may also be fixedly connected to the entire second surface 12, and the method of fixed connection is not limited here.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the support portion 202 is covered on the remaining area of ​​the first surface 11 and at least a part of the area of ​​the second surface 12, a first connecting structure 30 is provided on the support portion 202, a second connecting structure 40 is provided on the second surface 12, and the first connecting structure 30 cooperates with the second connecting structure 40 and is detachably connected; that is, the support portion 202 can be detachably connected to the second surface 12, for example, when a certain force is applied to the support portion 202, the connection between the first connecting structure 30 and the second connecting structure 40 can be released, and when no force is applied, the support portion 202 can be covered on the second surface 12 through the connection between the first connecting structure 30 and the second connecting structure 40.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figures 3-4 and Figure 7 As shown, bending the connection between the supporting portion 202 and the fixing portion 201 toward the back of the second surface 12 enables the supporting portion 202 to abut against the fixing portion 201 for support on a plane. The supporting portion 202 abuts against the fixing portion 201 in the reverse direction, and the supporting portion 202 is placed on a table. Combined with the abutment between the second surface 12 and the table, the entire speaker host 10 can be supported, and the speaker host 10 can be tilted at a certain angle, so that the stability of the speaker is good and a better broadcasting effect can be obtained.

[0038] The portable speaker of the embodiment of the present invention is further described below:

[0039] like Figures 3-4 and Figure 7 As shown, when in use, the connection between the supporting portion 202 and the fixing portion 201 is bent away from the second surface 12 until the supporting portion 202 is against the fixing portion 201, and the fixing portion 201 fixedly connected to the partial area of ​​the first surface 11 away from the second surface 12 is not affected when the supporting portion is flipped, and then the supporting portion 202 against the fixing portion 201 is placed as a supporting structure on a plane, such as a table top, at this time, the speaker host 10 can be supported, so that the speaker host 10 is in a stable state, thereby obtaining a better broadcasting effect.

[0040] like Figures 1-2 As shown, when it needs to be stored or carried, the support portion 202 is flipped toward the second surface 12 until the support portion 202 covers the remaining area of ​​the first surface 11 and at least a portion of the second surface 12, and the first connecting structure 30 is connected to the second connecting structure 40 to ensure that the support portion 202 is connected to the second surface 12 and is not separated. In this way, the support portion 202 is equivalent to a partial structure of the speaker host 10 and reduces the volume of the entire structure, thereby making it easy to store and carry.

[0041] In this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the fixing portion 201 is provided with a third connection structure 50, and the third connection structure 50 can cooperate with the first connection structure 30 and be detachably connected when the support portion 202 abuts against the fixing portion 201. Specifically, after the support portion 202 is flipped, the first connection structure 30 on the support portion 202 is disconnected from the second connection structure 40, and then the first connection structure 30 is connected to the third connection structure 50 provided on the fixing portion 201, so that the stability of the support portion 202 abutting against the fixing portion 201 can be ensured, so that the support portion 202 can be pulled by the cooperation connection of the first connection structure 30 and the third connection structure 50 without being acted upon by external force and will not be naturally reset, so that the speaker can be placed on the table stably and reliably.

[0042] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, the first connection structure 30 is a magnet sheet or a metal sheet, the second connection structure 40 is a magnet sheet or a metal sheet that can be magnetically connected to the first connection structure 30, and the third connection structure 50 is a magnet sheet or a metal sheet that can be magnetically connected to the first connection structure 30. For example, when the first connection structure 30 is a magnet sheet, the second connection structure 40 is a magnet sheet or a metal sheet, and the third connection structure 50 is a magnet sheet or a metal sheet; when the first connection structure 30 is a metal sheet, the second connection structure 40 and the third connection structure 50 are both magnet sheets, so that the first connection structure 30 and the second connection structure 40 can be magnetically connected, and the first connection structure 30 and the third connection structure 50 can be magnetically connected. The magnetic connection method can not only ensure good connection stability, but also the connection between the connection structures can be released by applying a small external force.

[0043] In this embodiment, Figures 5 to 7As shown, the epidermis layer 20 includes an outer leather layer 21 and an inner leather / velvet layer 22 that are connected to each other. The epidermis layer 20 formed by combining the outer leather layer 21 and the inner leather / velvet layer 22 not only has sufficient strength but also has good toughness, so that the connection between the supporting part 202 and the fixing part 201 has sufficient toughness to achieve bending, and can ensure that the supporting part 202 has the strength of a football to support the speaker host 10.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the inner leather / velvet 22 is fixedly connected to a portion of the first surface 11 away from the second surface 12, at least a portion of the second surface 12 is covered and connected by the inner leather / velvet 22, the first connection structure 30 is provided between the outer leather 21 and the inner leather / velvet 22 of the support portion 202, and the third connection structure 50 is provided between the outer leather 21 and the inner leather / velvet 22 of the fixed portion 201. For example, a metal sheet or a magnet sheet can be provided between the outer leather 21 and the inner leather / velvet 22, and the metal sheet or the magnet sheet can be clamped by the outer leather 21 and the inner leather / velvet 22, so as to maintain the installation stability of the metal sheet and the magnet sheet, and the magnetic connection between the magnet sheets or the magnetic connection between the magnet sheets can be achieved through the outer leather 21 or the inner leather / velvet 22. Furthermore, the first connection structure 30 disposed on the support portion 202 can enhance the structural strength of the support portion 202 , which is higher than the structural strength of the connection between the support portion 202 and the fixing portion 201 .

[0045] Furthermore, the magnet sheet or metal sheet can be reinforced and fixed to the adjacent outer leather layer 21 or inner leather / flannel 22 by bonding, for example, by glue bonding or double-sided tape bonding. Similarly, the area directly contacting the outer leather layer 21 and the inner leather / flannel 22 can also be bonded by glue bonding or double-sided tape bonding.

[0046] The magnet sheet or metal sheet disposed on the second surface 12 may also be bonded by glue or double-sided tape, or the magnet sheet or metal sheet may be embedded in the recessed structure disposed on the second surface 12 by embedding.

[0047] Of course, the connection between the inner leather / flannel 22 and the outer leather 21 can also be achieved by other means, such as by sewing.

[0048] Preferably, the inner layer of leather / velvet 22 is bonded to a portion of the first surface 11 away from the second surface 12. The area where the inner layer of leather / velvet 22 contacts the first surface 11 may also be bonded with glue or double-sided tape. In this way, the surface layer 20 can be fixed to the speaker host 10.

[0049] The magnet sheet and metal sheet described in this embodiment can be a large-area structure or several small-area structures arranged side by side, and can be selectively used according to actual conditions.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the shape of the portion of the skin layer 20 corresponding to the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 is adapted to the first surface 11 and the second surface 12. Such a design, on the one hand, facilitates the assembly of the skin layer 20 on the first surface 11 and the second surface 12, and on the other hand, can make the appearance of the speaker in the storage state consistent.

[0051] Of course, the fixing portion 201 of the epidermis 20 can extend to cover and be fixedly connected to a third surface (not shown). The third surface is a surface that is located at the end of the first surface 11 away from the second surface 12. Similarly, the shape of the third surface will match the shape of the local area of ​​the fixing portion 201 connected thereto.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the second surface 12 is in an arc shape, and the support portion 202 is in an arc shape on a portion of the second surface 12. The overall shape of the speaker of this structure is a rounded rectangle, which provides a better grip, and after the support portion 202 is flipped over, there will be no problem of scratches between the support portion 202 and the fixing portion 201.

[0053] In this embodiment, Figures 6-7 As shown, the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are both provided with a cavity 13 for jointly accommodating the epidermis 20, and the outer surface of the epidermis 20 is flush with the remaining surface of the speaker host 10 adjacent to the first surface 11 and the second surface 12. The epidermis 20 and the remaining surfaces of the speaker host 10 (except the first surface 11 and the second surface 12, and the surface adjacent to the first surface 11 and the second surface 12) will not form a step caused by the height difference, so that when the support part 202 covers the second surface 12, it can play a role in hiding the support part 202. The design is very clever, and when holding the speaker, there will be no discomfort caused by the obstruction of the epidermis 20.

[0054] Embodiment 2.

[0055] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that at least one of the first connection structure and the second connection structure is a convex buckle (not shown), and the other of the first connection structure and the second connection structure is a groove (not shown), and the first connection structure and the second connection structure can be buckled. Specifically, if the first connection structure is a convex buckle, then the second connection structure is a groove, and if the first connection structure is a groove, then the second connection structure is a convex buckle, so that the support part 202 covered on the second surface 12 can be connected to the sound box host 10 through the buckling of the groove and the convex buckle, and the support part 202 can be turned over and pressed against the fixing part 201 by releasing the buckling of the groove and the convex buckle.

[0056] The rest of this embodiment is the same as the first embodiment. The features not explained in this embodiment are all based on the explanations in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Embodiment three.

[0058] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that at least one of the first connection structure and the second connection structure is a plug-in column (not shown), and the other of the first connection structure and the second connection structure is a jack (not shown), and the first connection structure and the second connection structure can be plugged in. Specifically, if the first connection structure is a plug-in column, then the second connection structure is a jack, and if the first connection structure is a jack, then the second connection structure is a plug-in column, so that the support portion 202 covered on the second surface 12 can be connected to the speaker host 10 through the plug-in connection between the jack and the plug-in column, and the support portion 202 can be flipped and pressed against the fixing portion 201 by releasing the plug-in connection between the jack and the plug-in column.

[0059] The rest of this embodiment is the same as the first embodiment. The features not explained in this embodiment are all based on the explanations in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
