Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of speakers, in particular to a speaker with a support function. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, electronic devices such as smart phones and tablet computers have been widely popularized and become essential necessities in people's daily life and work. People often carry out daily audio-visual entertainment activities such as playing games, watching videos, and listening to music through handheld electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers. Since existing handheld electronic devices generally do not have dedicated speakers, and the volume and sound quality of their built-in speakers are limited, some users will choose to use external speakers to obtain better sound effects for better audio-visual services.

[0003] However, most of the current speakers are only used as speakers for electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablet computers to play sound, and they can generally be placed in only one placement method when placed. When a user holds an electronic device for a long time, the hand will be uncomfortable. When the electronic device needs to be placed away from the hand, a support base often needs to be placed beside it, which not only increases the usage cost of the device, but also increases the occupied space. Moreover, the speakers of some electronic devices are set on the back, and such placement will affect the sound effect and is also inconvenient for carrying out. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present application is to provide a speaker with a support function, which can not only be used as a speaker for an electronic device, but also be used as a support base for the electronic device, so as to realize convenient placement when using an external speaker for the electronic device.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problem, a speaker with a support function described in the embodiments of the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A speaker with a support function includes: a first housing, a magnet, a second housing, a PCBA board, a passive radiator, a speaker, and a grille;

[0007] The magnet is attached to the inner wall of the first housing, and the position on the outer wall of the first housing opposite to the magnet is used for placing a magnetic electronic device;

[0008] The second housing is installed in the first housing, and at least two installation cavities are provided in the second housing; the PCBA board and the passive radiator are arranged in the installation cavities of the second housing;

[0009] The speaker is installed and covered at the end of the second housing, and the speaker is electrically connected to the PCBA board; the grille is fixed at the end of the first housing and is opposite to the sound emitting end of the speaker.

[0010] The speaker with a support function reasonably sets its speaker structure and installs a magnet inside to provide magnetic suction for fixing the electronic device, so that it can not only be used as the speaker of the electronic device, but also as the support base of the electronic device, realizing convenient placement when using an external speaker for the electronic device.

[0011] Further, for the speaker with a support function, the first housing includes: a first attachment portion, a second attachment portion, and a button portion that are connected in sequence;

[0012] The mesh cover is located on the end face of the first attachment portion, and the plane of the first attachment portion is perpendicular to the plane of the mesh cover. The other end face of the first attachment portion is connected to one end face of the second attachment portion;

[0013] The second attachment portion gradually narrows from the end face connected to the first attachment portion to the end face connected to the button portion;

[0014] The magnets are all attached to the inner surfaces of the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion.

[0015] By setting the structure of the first housing of the speaker with a support function in this way, the first housing can be conveniently placed vertically, and the outer surfaces of the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion of the first housing can be used to place the magnetic electronic device. Thus, the electronic device can be conveniently placed as a support at different angles and orientations, meeting the various placement needs of users.

[0016] Further, for the speaker with a support function, the cross-sectional shapes of both the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion are similar polygons.

[0017] The setting of the polygonal structure can divide the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion into planes for placing the electronic device at various angles in space.

[0018] Further, for the speaker with a support function, the two end faces of the second attachment portion respectively coincide with the end faces connected to the first attachment portion and the button portion;

[0019] The planar angle at the connection of the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

[0020] If set according to the shape and angle of the above plane, the speaker with a support function can have multiple usage states for placing the electronic device.

[0021] Further, for the speaker with a support function, a card slot extending along the directions of its two end faces is machined on the inner wall of the first attachment part; the second housing is in the shape of a prism, and the number of the card slots is the same as the number of the side edges of the second housing; the side edges on the outer wall of the second housing correspond to the card slots one by one and are embedded into the card slots.

[0022] Fixing is carried out through sliding installation in the card slots, which is convenient for disassembly and can achieve quick positioning and installation.

[0023] Further, for the speaker with a support function, it further includes a keypad provided with at least two buttons;

[0024] The keypad is installed at the inner wall of the button part and is electrically connected to the PCBA board, and the buttons penetrate through the button part and are exposed outward.

[0025] The buttons can facilitate users to quickly select and accurately adjust the functions of the speaker.

[0026] Further, for the speaker with a support function, a first opening is formed on the first housing, and a second opening is formed on the second housing; the first opening and the second opening partially or completely overlap;

[0027] The first opening and the second opening are used to expose the universal serial bus interface on the PCBA board.

[0028] Through the universal serial interface bus, the speaker with a support function can be conveniently connected to external devices.

[0029] Further, for the speaker with a support function, a plurality of third openings for heat dissipation are formed on the outer surface of the second housing.

[0030] During the operation of the PCBA board, certain heat energy will be generated. In order to avoid the influence of the heat energy on the internal structure of the speaker, heat dissipation can be preferably carried out through the third openings.

[0031] Further, for the speaker with a support function, it further includes a battery;

[0032] The battery is installed in the installation cavity adjacent to the PCBA board in the second housing.

[0033] By arranging the battery inside the speaker with a support function, it can be used more conveniently without the need to additionally increase the wiring outside the speaker.

[0034] Further, for the speaker with a support function, it further includes foot pads;

[0035] The foot pads are fixed on the outer surface of the mesh cover.

[0036] The foot pad can buffer the speaker when it is placed vertically and protect the grille.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application mainly have the following beneficial effects:

[0038] The embodiments of the present application disclose a speaker with a support function. The speaker with a support function in the embodiments of the present application reasonably sets its speaker structure and installs a magnet inside to provide magnetic suction to fix the electronic device, so that it can not only be used as a speaker of the electronic device, but also be used as a support for the electronic device, which not only saves the use cost and saves the occupied space, making it convenient to carry when going out, but also realizes the flexible placement when using an external speaker for the electronic device.

[0047] Reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0048] In order to enable those skilled in the technical field to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the relevant drawings in the embodiments of this application.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is an exploded view of a speaker with a support function in an embodiment of this application. The speaker with a support function includes: a first housing 1, a magnet 2, a second housing 3, a PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) board 4, a passive radiator 5, a speaker 6, and a grille 7.

[0050] The magnet 2 is attached to the inner wall of the first housing 1. The second housing 3 is installed in the first housing 1, and at least two mounting cavities are provided in the second housing 3. The PCBA board 4 and the passive radiator 5 are disposed in the mounting cavities of the second housing 3. The speaker 6 is installed and covers the end of the second housing 3, and the speaker 6 is electrically connected to the PCBA board 4. The grille 7 is fixed to the end of the first housing 1 and is opposite to the sound-emitting end of the speaker 6.

[0051] Wherein, at a position on the outer wall of the first housing 1 opposite to the magnet 2, a magnetizable electronic device is to be placed. The magnetizable electronic devices include: audio-visual entertainment electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and portable media players. The magnet 2 is used to provide sufficient magnetic suction force to the magnetizable electronic device so that the electronic device can be conveniently placed and fixed on the first housing 1.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, the magnet 2 is a plurality of magnet pieces; the magnet pieces are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the first housing 1, or are reasonably arranged at various places on the inner wall of the first housing 1 according to the placement requirements of the first housing 1 for the electronic device.

[0053] Further referring to Figure 2 , is a perspective view of the speaker with a support function in the embodiment of the present application. The first housing 1 includes: a first attachment portion 11, a second attachment portion 12, and a button portion 13 that are connected in sequence.

[0054] The grille 6 is located on one end face of the first attachment portion 11, and the plane of the first attachment portion 11 is perpendicular to the plane of the grille 6. The other end face of the first attachment portion 11 is connected to one end face of the second attachment portion 12.

[0055] The second attachment portion 12 gradually narrows from the end face where it is connected to the first attachment portion 11 to the end face where it is connected to the button portion 13; that is, for a cross-section located between the two end faces of the second attachment portion 12 and parallel to its two end faces, the cross-sectional width at the connection of the second attachment portion 12 and the first attachment portion 11 is the maximum value. Moving parallel from this cross-section towards the other end face of the second attachment portion 12, the width of the cross-section gradually decreases until reaching the cross-section at the connection of the second attachment portion 12 and the button portion 13, where the cross-sectional width reaches the minimum value.

[0056] The magnets 2 are all attached to the inner surfaces of the first attachment portion 11 and the second attachment portion 12.

[0057] The setting of such a structure facilitates the vertical placement of the first housing 1, and enables the outer surfaces of the first attachment portion 11 and the second attachment portion 12 of the first housing 1 to be used for placing the magnetic electronic device. Thus, the electronic device can be conveniently placed as a support at different angles and orientations, meeting the various placement needs of users.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional shapes of both the first attachment portion 11 and the second attachment portion 12 are similar polygons. In this way, the shape of the first attachment portion 11 is shown as a prism. Since the plane of the first attachment portion 11 is perpendicular to the plane of the mesh cover 7, the prism is a right prism.

[0059] The number of sides of the polygon can be set arbitrarily. In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, the polygon is a regular polygon.

[0060] Such a setting can divide the first attachment portion 11 and the second attachment portion 12 in space into planes for placing electronic devices at various angles.

[0061] Further combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 The top view of the speaker with the function of a support in the embodiment of the present application. The two end faces of the second attachment portion 12 coincide with the end faces where it is connected to the first attachment portion 11 and the button portion 13 respectively.

[0062] As shown in the figure, taking the cross-sectional shapes of both the first attachment portion 11 and the second attachment portion 12 as regular heptagons as an example for illustration. Each side of the regular heptagon in the first attachment portion 11 corresponds to a plane perpendicular to the mesh cover 7 and used for placing an electronic device, a total of seven planes. The sides of the seven planes are connected in sequence, splicing into a regular heptagonal prism-shaped structure with a closed side and open ends. And the angles between adjacent two planes in the first attachment portion 11 are all equal, and the angle is the interior angle of the regular heptagon, which can be specifically calculated by the formula (n - 2)*180° / n, where n is the number of sides of the regular polygon.

[0063] Similarly, each side of the regular heptagon in the second attachment part 12 also corresponds to a plane for placing an electronic device, also a total of seven planes. The sides of the seven planes are connected in sequence, and are spliced into a pyramid-like structure with a truncated top and a closed side and two open ends. The seven planes in the second attachment part 12 are respectively connected to the seven planes in the second attachment part 11, and the degree of the included angle can be set arbitrarily according to the needs. In the embodiment of the present application, the plane included angle at the connection of the first attachment part 11 and the second attachment part 12 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. In a preferred embodiment of the present application, this angle is set to 135 degrees.

[0064] If set according to the shape and angle of the above planes, the speaker with the function of a support in the present application can have multiple usage states for placing an electronic device.

[0065] For example, when the speaker with the function of a support is placed with the plane where the mesh cover 7 is located as the bottom surface, at this time, the seven planes on the first attachment part 11 are all in the vertical direction, and the electronic device is placed on it and used at a vertical angle; the seven planes on the second attachment part 12 are all at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal direction at this time, and the electronic device can choose to be placed on one of the planes and used at a 45-degree inclined angle.

[0066] When the speaker with the function of a support is placed with one of the seven planes of the first attachment part 11 as the bottom surface, at this time, the mesh cover 7 faces the side, and the sound output by the mesh cover 7 will not be interfered by the bottom surface for supporting the speaker when the speaker is placed vertically. Therefore, it is beneficial to improve the volume and sound effect of the speaker. And at this time, when the electronic device is placed on the other six planes of the first attachment part 11, there are three inclined angles to choose from for placement, meeting the user's need for the support placement angle when placing the electronic device away from the hand. The seven planes on the second attachment part 12 also have multiple inclined angles at this time and different placement methods from those on the first attachment part 11, further increasing the placement methods of the electronic device for the user and improving the user experience.

[0067] In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, multiple slots extending in the direction of its two end faces are processed on the inner wall between the first attachment parts 11. The slots are used to position the second housing 3. The shape of the second housing 3 is a prism, corresponding to the shape of the first housing 1, and the prism is a straight prism. The number of the slots is the same as the number of the side edges of the second housing 3. The side edges on the outer wall of the second housing 3 correspond to the slots one by one and are embedded in the slots, thereby positioning the position of the second housing 3 and fixing the second housing 3 in the first housing 1.

[0068] It is fixed by sliding and installing through the card slot, which is convenient for disassembly and can be quickly positioned and installed.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the speaker with a support function further includes: a keypad 8. The keypad 8 is installed on the inner wall of the key portion 13 and is electrically connected to the PCBA board 4. A plurality of keys 81 are provided on the keypad 8, and the keys 81 penetrate through the key portion 13 and are exposed outward. The keys 81 are used to trigger the function operations of the speaker. The keys 81 can facilitate the user to quickly select and accurately adjust the functions of the speaker.

[0070] PCBA refers to the entire process of a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) blank board through surface mount technology components and then through dual in-line package technology plug-ins. The PCBA board essentially refers to a finished PCB board with components already surface-mounted.

[0071] Further referring Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a first opening 14 is provided on the first housing 1, and a second opening 31 is provided on the second housing 3. The first opening 14 and the second opening 31 partially or completely overlap.

[0072] The first opening 14 and the second opening 31 are used to expose the universal serial bus interface on the PCBA board 4.

[0073] Through the universal serial interface bus, the speaker with a support function can be conveniently connected to external devices.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of third openings 32 for heat dissipation are provided on the outer surface of the second housing 3. In a preferred embodiment, the third openings 32 are evenly distributed around the second housing 3 on the outer surface of the second housing 3 closer to the PCBA board 4. The PCBA board 4 generates a certain amount of heat during operation. In order to avoid the heat energy affecting the internal structure of the speaker, heat dissipation can be preferably performed through the third openings 32.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the speaker with a support function further includes a battery 9. The battery 9 is installed in the installation cavity adjacent to the PCBA board 4 in the second housing 3, and the battery 9 is used to supply power for the normal operation of the PCBA board 4. The above-mentioned third openings 32 provided on the second housing 3 can also be used to dissipate the heat generated by the battery 9.

[0076] By providing the battery 9 inside the speaker with a support function, it can be used more conveniently without adding extra wires outside the speaker.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the speaker with a support function further includes a foot pad 10, and the number of the foot pads 10 is preset. The foot pad 10 is fixed on the outer surface of the grille 7 and is evenly distributed around the edge of the grille to avoid covering the mesh holes of the grille 7. The foot pad 10 is used for buffering when the speaker is placed vertically and protecting the grille 7.

[0078] For the speaker with a support function in the embodiment of the present application, by reasonably setting its speaker structure and installing a magnet inside to provide magnetic suction for fixing the electronic device, it can not only be used as a speaker of the electronic device but also as a support for the electronic device. This not only saves the usage cost and occupies less space, making it convenient to carry when going out, but also realizes the flexible placement when using an external speaker for the electronic device. That is, by reasonably setting the structures and shapes of the first housing and the second housing, the speaker with a support function can be placed from multiple angles, and at the same time, the electronic device to be placed can have various choices of placement angles and positions, expanding the placement function of the speaker as a bracket.

[0079] In the above embodiments provided by the present application, it should be understood that the disclosed device can be implemented in other ways. For example, the device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. For example, the division of the modules is only a logical function division. In actual implementation, there may be other division methods.
