Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of speaker product technology, and in particular to a speaker and an electronic system using the speaker. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, with the proliferation of various electronic devices, speakers have gradually become a common household item. However, some problems can easily arise during use. For example, the screen or control panel on a speaker is usually fixed, which can affect its ease of use if the speaker is not placed correctly. Also, some speakers have relatively strong directional sound, which can affect the playback quality if the speaker is not placed properly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a speaker with a mechanical structure that allows the speaker body to rotate relative to a support base. This allows for improved ease of use when a screen or control panel is mounted on one side wall of the speaker body; or when a speaker is mounted on the speaker body facing the side wall, the speaker's orientation can be adjusted by rotating the speaker body to ensure optimal playback performance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the speaker proposed in this invention includes:

[0005] Support body;

[0006] A speaker body, wherein the speaker body is disposed on the support base, the speaker body is defined to have a vertical direction, and the speaker body is rotatable relative to the support base about the vertical direction; and

[0007] A first driving member is capable of driving the speaker body to rotate relative to the support base.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving member includes;

[0009] A first motor is located on the speaker body;

[0010] A drive gear, wherein the drive gear is sleeved on the output shaft of the first motor; and

[0011] A driven gear is fitted onto the support base and meshes with the driving gear. The axis of the driven gear also coincides with the rotation axis of the speaker body. The first motor drives the driving gear to rotate relative to the driven gear, thereby causing the speaker body to rotate relative to the support base.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the support body facing the speaker body is provided with a mounting cylinder, and the projection of the mounting cylinder on the projection plane in the vertical direction is circular.

[0013] The speaker body has a rotating shaft protruding from its surface facing the support body. The rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the mounting cylinder, and the driven gear is sleeved on the mounting cylinder.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first mounting space is formed in the speaker body, and an extension hole communicating with the first mounting space is provided on the surface facing the support body;

[0015] The first motor is located within the first mounting space, and the output shaft of the first motor extends through the protrusion hole.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the display screen is slidably disposed on the speaker body in the vertical direction, and the speaker further includes a second driving member, which can drive the display screen to slide relative to the speaker body.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second driving member includes:

[0018] A second motor, the second motor being disposed in the speaker body; and

[0019] A transmission structure is provided, which is connected to the second motor and the display screen. The second motor drives the display screen to slide relative to the speaker body through the transmission structure.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, a second mounting space is formed by a recess on the outer peripheral surface of the speaker body, and the second driving member is disposed in the second mounting space;

[0021] The display screen is connected to a connecting rod, and one end of the connecting rod away from the display screen extends into the second mounting space to connect with the second driving component.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sound cavity is further formed in the speaker body, and a mounting port communicating with the sound cavity is provided. The speaker body is also provided with a horn, and part of the horn extends into the sound cavity through the mounting port.

[0023] The speaker also includes an inner shell, which covers the speaker body and has an exposed opening at the position corresponding to the mounting port and a first passage opening at the position corresponding to the second mounting space. The outer circumferential surface of the inner shell also has a guide groove at the position adjacent to the first passage opening. Both the guide groove and the first passage opening extend in the vertical direction.

[0024] The end of the connecting rod facing away from the display screen extends into the second mounting space through the first through-hole. The connecting rod is also provided with a guide block, which is slidably embedded in the guide groove in the vertical direction.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker further includes a housing, the housing comprising:

[0026] The lower housing has an upward-opening lower cavity, and the support body is disposed within the lower cavity; and

[0027] The upper housing has an upper cavity with an opening facing downwards. The upper housing covers the inner housing, and the lower surface of the upper housing abuts against the upper surface of the lower housing. The upper housing has multiple sound outlets at positions corresponding to the display opening, and a second passage opening at a position corresponding to the first passage opening. The second passage opening extends vertically. The end of the connecting rod away from the display screen extends from the second passage opening into the first passage opening.

[0028] The present invention also proposes an electronic system including a speaker, the speaker comprising:

[0029] Support body;

[0030] A speaker body, wherein the speaker body is disposed on the support base, the speaker body is defined to have a vertical direction, and the speaker body is rotatable relative to the support base about the vertical direction; and

[0031] A first driving member is capable of driving the speaker body to rotate relative to the support base.

[0032] During use, the speaker of this invention can be driven to rotate relative to the support base by a first driving member, allowing the side wall of the speaker body to be adjusted to face the user in different directions. Based on this mechanical structure, when a screen or operation panel is provided on one side wall of the speaker body, the first driving member can drive the speaker body to rotate so that the screen or operation panel faces the user, making it easier for the user to view the screen or operate the operation panel, thus improving the convenience of using the speaker. When the speaker body is equipped with a speaker facing the side wall, the first driving member can also drive the speaker body to rotate so that the speaker faces the user, allowing the speaker to better output sound and thus ensuring the speaker's playback effect.

[0033] Furthermore, since the speaker body is rotatably mounted on the support, the first driving component is located at the lower end of the speaker. This lowers the speaker's center of gravity, thereby improving the stability of the speaker's placement. Attached Figure Description

[0051] This invention proposes a speaker.

[0052] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker includes a support base 10, a speaker body 20, and a first driving member 30. The speaker body 20 is disposed on the support base 10, and the speaker is defined to have a vertical direction (in the speaker's normal operating position). The speaker body 20 can rotate relative to the support base 10 about the vertical direction; the first driving member 30 can drive the speaker body 20 to rotate relative to the support base 10.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support base 10 can be used to support components such as the speaker body 20 and the first driving member 30, so that the various components of the speaker can be assembled into a whole. Simultaneously, when the speaker is in normal use and placed on a supporting surface (e.g., a table surface or cabinet surface), the lower surface of the support base 10 can be used to abut against the supporting surface. The projection of the support base 10 on the horizontal plane can be circular to make its shape more regular and easier to process and shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the projection of the support base 10 on the horizontal plane can also be square, triangular, or other shapes. The support base 10 can be formed as a plate structure to make its volume relatively small, which is beneficial for reducing the overall volume of the speaker. Of course, in other embodiments, the support base 10 can also be a frame structure formed by multiple plates or multiple columns. That is, this application does not specifically limit the shape and form of the support pedestal 10, as long as it can support the speaker body 20 and the first driving component 30, etc. The speaker body 20 can be used to play music or other voice information for users to listen to. The projection of the speaker body 20 onto the horizontal plane can be circular to make its shape more regular and easier to process, while also making its volume relatively small, thus reducing the overall size of the speaker. Of course, in other embodiments, the projection of the speaker body 20 onto the horizontal plane can also be square, triangular, or other shapes. Furthermore, the specific structure of the speaker body 20 can be: (Please refer to the reference...) Figure 4 and Figure 8The speaker body 20 has a sound cavity 21 formed inside, and a mounting port 22 communicating with the sound cavity 21. The speaker body 20 also has a speaker 23, part of which extends into the sound cavity 21 through the mounting port 22. Since the sound-producing principle of the speaker 23 is existing technology, its specific structure will not be described in detail here. The speaker 23 can be installed on the speaker body 20 using screws or clips to simplify the installation process. The rotatable connection between the speaker body 20 and the support base 10 can be achieved by either having a pivot shaft or a pivot hole, with the pivot shaft inserted into the pivot hole. Of course, when the support pedestal 10 has a relatively large projected area on the horizontal plane, while the speaker body 20 has a relatively small projected area on the horizontal plane, it is also possible to directly set the speaker body 20 into a circular structure and rotatably insert it into the support pedestal 10, as long as the speaker body 20 can rotate relative to the support pedestal 10 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, it is also possible to form a screen or operation panel on the speaker body 20. The first driving member 30 can be used to provide power to drive the speaker body 20 to rotate, so that the screen, operation panel or internal speaker on the speaker body 20 can face the user relatively well. The first driving member 30 can be set on the support pedestal 10, or it can be set on the speaker body 20.

[0054] In the use of the speaker, the first driving member 30 can drive the speaker body 20 to rotate relative to the support base 10, so that one side wall of the speaker body 20 can be adjusted to face the user in different directions. Based on this mechanical structure, when a screen or operation panel is provided on one side wall of the speaker body 20, the first driving member 30 can drive the speaker body 20 to rotate so that the screen or operation panel on the speaker body 20 faces the user's position. This makes it easier for the user to view the screen on the speaker body 20 or operate the operation panel, thereby improving the convenience of using the speaker. When the speaker body 20 is provided with a speaker facing the side wall, the first driving member 30 can also drive the speaker body 20 to rotate so that the speaker on the speaker body 20 faces the user's position. This makes it easier for the speaker on the speaker body 20 to face the user for better sound playback, thereby helping to ensure the playback effect of the speaker.

[0055] Furthermore, since the speaker body 20 and the display screen 40 are rotatably mounted as a single unit on the support base 10, the first drive member 30 is located at the lower end of the speaker. This lowers the speaker's center of gravity, thereby improving the stability of the speaker's placement.

[0056] Please refer to the reference. Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving member 30 includes a first motor 31, a driving gear 33, and a driven gear 35. The first motor 31 is disposed on the speaker body 20; the driving gear 33 is sleeved on the output shaft of the first motor 31; the driven gear 35 is sleeved on the support base 10 and meshes with the driving gear 33. The axis of the driven gear 35 also coincides with the rotation axis 24 of the speaker body 20. The first motor 31 drives the driving gear 33 to rotate relative to the driven gear 35, so as to drive the speaker body 20 to rotate relative to the support base 10.

[0057] It is understandable that when the support body 10 is placed on the support surface, the support body 10 can be fixed relative to the support surface under the weight of the speaker. This also causes the driven gear 35 on the support body 10 to be relatively fixed. At this time, when the first motor 31 drives the drive gear 33 to rotate, the drive gear 33 can move circumferentially along the driven gear 35, thereby driving the speaker body 20 to rotate relative to the support body 10. The first driving component 30 consists of the first motor 31, the drive gear 33, and the driven gear 35, allowing the speaker body 20 to have a relatively suitable rotation speed by adjusting the transmission ratio of the drive gear 33 and the driven gear 35. For example, since a gear transmission ratio greater than 1 results in a deceleration effect, and the transmission ratio is equal to the inverse ratio of the diameters of the drive gear 33 and the driven gear 35, the diameter of the drive gear 33 can be set smaller than the diameter of the driven gear 35. At this time, the speed at which the speaker body 20 is driven to rotate is reduced, making its rotational speed easier to control. This avoids the speaker body 20 being driven too fast, which could prevent it from accurately rotating to the position facing the user. Simultaneously, this arrangement allows the first motor 31 to be arranged side-by-side with the rotating parts of the support base 10 and the speaker body 20 in the horizontal direction. This reduces the overall height of the speaker and lowers the center of gravity, thereby improving the stability of the speaker on the support surface. Of course, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the first motor 31 may also be mounted on the support base 10. In this case, the driven gear 35 is sleeved on the speaker body 20, and the axis of the driven gear 35 coincides with the rotation axis 24 of the speaker body 20. Alternatively, the first driving member 30 may include a first motor 31, which is mounted on the support base 10. In this case, the speaker body 20 is directly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 31 and is directly driven by the first motor 31.

[0058] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9In one embodiment of the present invention, a mounting cylinder 11 is protruding from the surface of the support body 10 facing the speaker body 20, and the projection of the mounting cylinder 11 on the projection plane in the vertical direction is circular; a rotating shaft 24 is protruding from the surface of the speaker body 20 facing the support body 10, and the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably inserted into the mounting cylinder 11, and the driven gear 35 is sleeved on the mounting cylinder 11.

[0059] It is understandable that the mounting cylinder 11 protrudes from the support body 10, and the internal space of the mounting cylinder 11 forms a rotating hole that rotatably engages with the rotating shaft 24. This allows the thickness of the support body 10 to be relatively thin, thereby further reducing the overall volume of the support body 10 and reducing the raw materials required for manufacturing, thus lowering manufacturing costs. Simultaneously, the driven gear 35 can be directly fitted onto the outside of the mounting cylinder 11. Since the volume of the mounting cylinder 11 itself is relatively small, the volume of the driven gear 35 can also be relatively small, thus reducing its space occupation and improving the ease of installation of the driven gear 35, thereby reducing the overall volume of the speaker enclosure. In other words, the mounting cylinder 11 on the support body 10 serves to both fix the speaker body 20 and fix the driven gear 25. This eliminates the need for separate connecting structures on the support body 10 for fixing the speaker body 20 and for fixing the driven gear. This simplifies the structure of the support body 10, thereby improving manufacturing convenience and reducing manufacturing costs. The driven gear 35 and the mounting cylinder 11 can be connected by an interference fit, or by a key, snap-fit, or screw. When the driven gear 35 and the mounting cylinder 11 are connected by screws, the upper end of the driven gear 35 can extend a flange 351 towards the mounting cylinder 11. This flange 351 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting cylinder 11, so that the screw can be easily inserted into the mounting cylinder 11 from top to bottom through the flange 351 for locking. Furthermore, in order to improve the stability and smoothness of the rotational connection between the rotating shaft 24 and the mounting cylinder 11, the rotating shaft 24 can be fitted with a bearing 241 by an interference fit. The indirect rotational connection between the rotating shaft 24 and the mounting cylinder 11 is achieved through the rotational engagement of the bearing 241 with the mounting cylinder 11. To improve the stability of the bearing 241 installation, after the bearing 241 is housed in the mounting cylinder 11, a limiting ring 353 is connected to the upper surface of the flange 351 of the driven gear 35. A portion of the limiting ring 353 abuts against the upper surface of the outer ring of the bearing 241, thereby clamping and limiting the bearing 241 in the vertical direction through the cooperation of the limiting ring 353 and the mounting cylinder 11. A screw can be sequentially passed through the limiting ring 353 and the flange 351 of the driven gear 35 and inserted into the mounting cylinder 11 to achieve a one-time fixation of all three components, improving installation efficiency. It should be noted that this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, when the bearing base 10 is circular, the driven gear 35 can be directly sleeved on the outside of the bearing base 10, in which case the first motor 31 is also correspondingly positioned on the outer circumferential surface of the speaker body 20.

[0060] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9In one embodiment of the present invention, a first mounting space 25 is formed in the speaker body 20, and an extension hole 26 communicating with the first mounting space 25 is provided on the surface facing the support body 10; a first motor 31 is disposed in the first mounting space 25, and the output shaft of the first motor 31 passes through the extension hole 26.

[0061] It is understood that the first mounting space 25 provides a accommodating space for the first motor 31, allowing the first motor 31 to be housed. This enables the first motor 31 to be installed more compactly on the speaker body 20, thereby further reducing the overall size of the speaker. Simultaneously, placing the first motor 31 within the speaker body 20, through the first mounting space 25, also provides a certain degree of isolation and protection for the first motor 31. This facilitates concealment of the first motor 31, reducing the possibility of damage from external objects and extending its service life. It also helps maintain the speaker's aesthetic appearance, enhancing the product's market competitiveness. Furthermore, placing the first motor 31 within the speaker body 20 reduces the thickness of the support base 10, allowing for a relatively smaller volume of the support base 10. (Please refer to the references.) Figure 4 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9The speaker body 20 may include a cabinet 27 and a cover plate 28. In this case, a sound cavity 21 is formed inside the cabinet 27, and a mounting port 22 is provided. The speaker 23 is mounted on the cabinet 27. The cover plate 28 is connected to the lower surface of the cabinet 27 and, together with the cabinet 27, forms a first mounting space 25. A rotating shaft 24 protrudes from the surface of the cover plate 28 opposite to the cabinet 27. By forming the first mounting space 25 through the cabinet 27 and the cover plate 28, the two can be set up separately and independently, and then assembled into a whole to directly form the first mounting space 25. The structure of the cabinet 27 and the cover plate 28 is simpler than the integral structure of the speaker body 20, facilitating their individual manufacturing and thus improving the ease of forming the first mounting space 25. This can be achieved by either a partial recess in the enclosure 27 that forms the first mounting space 25 with the cover plate 28, a partial recess in the cover plate 28 that forms the first mounting space 25 with the enclosure 27, or partial recesses in both the enclosure 27 and the cover plate 28. The connection between the enclosure 27 and the cover plate 28 can be via screws or snap-fit ​​connections to simplify the connection structure and improve installation efficiency. Furthermore, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, when both the rotating shaft 24 and the mounting cylinder 11 have a certain height, the first motor 31 can be directly mounted on the lower surface of the speaker body 20, or the lower surface of the speaker body 20 can be recessed to form a groove for accommodating the first motor 31.

[0062] Please refer to the reference. Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker further includes a display screen 40, which is slidably disposed on the speaker body 20 in the vertical direction. The speaker also includes a second driving member 50, which can drive the display screen 40 to slide relative to the speaker body 20.

[0063] It is understandable that adding a display screen 40 to the speaker body 20 provides a relatively large display area for better viewing. Furthermore, since the display screen 40 is mounted on the speaker body 20, the first driving component 30 can rotate the speaker body 20 to a more direct viewing angle for the user, depending on their position. The display screen 40 can be a simple display screen, or it can be a touchscreen, allowing users to perform touch operations such as playing songs, watching movies, or shopping online. Further, the display screen 40 can also include a microphone and a camera, allowing users to interact with the speaker via voice and track their location using the camera. At this time, the camera can be electrically connected to the first driving component 30 and the second driving component 50. After identifying the user's specific location, it transmits a detection signal to the first driving component 30 and the second driving component 50, so that the first driving component 30 can promptly stop driving the speaker body 20 and the second driving component 50 can promptly stop driving the display screen 40, allowing the display screen 40 to be accurately positioned relative to the user's direct gaze. Furthermore, the display screen 40 and the speaker body 20 can be directly connected, or indirectly connected via a connector. Further, the second driving component 50 drives the display screen 40 to slide up and down relative to the speaker body 20, allowing the position of the display screen 40 in the vertical direction to be adjusted. This increases the versatility of the display screen 40's movement, making it easier and more accurate to adjust the display screen 40 to match the user's current position, providing the user with a relatively good viewing angle.

[0064] Please refer to the reference. Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second driving member 50 includes a second motor 51 and a transmission structure 53. The second motor 51 is disposed on the speaker body 20. The transmission structure 53 is connected to the second motor 51 and the display screen 40. The second motor 51 drives the display screen 40 to slide relative to the speaker body 20 through the transmission structure 53.

[0065] It is understood that the rotational motion of the second motor 51 can be converted into linear motion of the display screen 40 in the vertical direction through the transmission structure, so that the second drive member 50 will not extend or retract in the vertical direction. Therefore, there is no need to provide a sliding space on the speaker body 20 for the second drive member 50 to slide, which helps to further reduce the overall size of the speaker. Of course, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the second drive member 50 can also be a cylinder or a linear module, etc.

[0066] Please refer to the reference. Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission structure 53 includes a drive wheel 531, a driven wheel 533, and a belt 535. The drive wheel 531 is sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor 51. The driven wheel 533 is rotatably disposed on the speaker body 20 and is spaced apart from the drive wheel 531 in the vertical direction. The belt 535 is sleeved on the drive wheel 531 and the driven wheel 533, and the display screen 40 is connected to the belt 535.

[0067] It is understandable that, due to the elasticity of the belt 535, it can mitigate impact and vibration, thereby enabling the transmission structure 53 to smoothly drive the display screen 40 up and down while reducing noise, thus minimizing noise interference and ensuring playback quality when playing music from the speaker. Both the driving wheel 531 and the driven wheel 533 can have a circular arc surface on their side circumference; alternatively, both the driving wheel 531 and the driven wheel 533 can have teeth on their side circumference, in which case the belt 535 has corresponding teeth that mesh with them, further improving the stability of the driving wheel 531. Furthermore, it should be noted that this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the transmission mechanism can also include a lead screw and a slide. In this case, the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the speaker body 20 and extends vertically, with one end of the lead screw connected to the output shaft of the second motor 51; the slide is fitted onto the lead screw, and the display screen 40 is connected to the slide. In this way, the second drive motor can drive the lead screw to rotate, and the rotating lead screw can drive the slide to move up and down, thereby driving the display screen 40 to rotate.

[0068] Please refer to the reference. Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, a second mounting space 29 is formed by a recess on the outer peripheral surface of the speaker body 20, and a second driving member 50 is disposed in the second mounting space 29; a connecting rod 41 is connected to the display screen 40, and one end of the connecting rod 41 away from the display screen 40 extends into the second mounting space 29 to connect with the second driving member 50.

[0069] It is understood that the second mounting space 29 provides a accommodating space for the second driving component 50, allowing it to be housed. This enables the second driving component 50 to be installed more compactly on the speaker body 20, further reducing the overall size of the speaker. Simultaneously, the second mounting space 29 also provides some isolation and protection for the second driving component 50, reducing the possibility of damage from external objects and thus extending its service life. When the speaker body 20 includes a cabinet 27 and a cover plate 28, the second space can be formed by the speaker body 20 and the cover plate 28, allowing the second space to be assembled after the cabinet 27 and cover plate 28 are individually formed, reducing the complexity of its construction. Specifically, the second space may include an upper groove section 291 and a lower groove section 293. The upper groove section 291 is located on the enclosure 27, and the lower groove section 293 is formed by the enclosure 27 and the cover plate 28 and communicates with the upper groove section 291. In this case, the second motor 51 of the second drive member 50 is located within the lower groove section 293, and a portion of the drive wheel 531 and belt 535 of the transmission structure are also located within the lower groove section 293. The other portion of the driven wheel 533 and belt 535 may be located within the upper groove section 291. Of course, in other embodiments, the second space may only be formed on the enclosure 27 of the speaker body 20. Alternatively, the second drive member 50 may be directly disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the enclosure 27. Furthermore, the display screen 40 is connected to the belt 535 via a connecting rod 41, creating a certain distance between the display screen 40 and the speaker body 20. This reduces the possibility of interference during installation or the up-and-down sliding of the display screen 40, thereby improving the safety of the display screen 40's installation and movement. The connecting rod 41 can be straight, arc-shaped, or zigzag-shaped. Further, the belt 535 can be equipped with a mounting block, and the connecting rod 41 and the mounting block on the belt 535 can be detachably connected. This allows the display screen 40 to be easily removed from the belt 535 for repair and replacement in case of damage, improving the convenience of maintenance and replacement. The mounting block on the connecting rod 41 and the belt 535 can be connected by screws or clips to simplify the assembly and disassembly process.

[0070] Please refer to the reference. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker further includes an inner shell 60, which covers the speaker body 20 and has an exposure opening 61 at the position corresponding to the mounting opening 22 and a first passage opening 63 at the position corresponding to the second mounting space 29. The outer peripheral surface of the inner shell 60 also has a guide groove 65 at the position adjacent to the first passage opening 63. Both the guide groove 65 and the first passage opening 63 extend in the vertical direction. The end of the connecting rod 41 away from the display screen 40 extends into the second mounting space 29 through the first passage opening 63. The connecting rod 41 also has a guide block 411, which is slidably embedded in the guide groove 65 in the vertical direction.

[0071] It is understandable that the inner shell 60 can further surround the speaker 23, effectively reducing the impact of vibration and resonance on the smart speaker 23, thereby improving the speaker's sound performance. Simultaneously, the inner shell 60 can also be provided with a guide groove 65, allowing a guide block 411 to be correspondingly provided on the connecting rod 41. The cooperation between the guide block 411 and the guide groove 65 guides the vertical sliding of the display screen 40, thereby improving the stability of the display screen 40's sliding and ensuring accurate sliding to the preset position. The guide groove 65 can be formed by a recess on the outer periphery of the speaker body 20's enclosure 27; alternatively, an L-shaped block can be provided on the outer periphery of the enclosure 27, with the L-shaped block and the outer periphery of the enclosure 27 forming the guide groove 65. This avoids requiring a relatively thick overall wall thickness for the enclosure 27, thus reducing manufacturing costs.

[0072] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker further includes a housing 70, which includes a lower housing 71 and an upper housing 73. The lower housing 71 has an upward-facing lower cavity 711, and the support body 10 is disposed in the lower cavity 711. The upper housing 73 has a downward-facing upper cavity 731, which covers the inner housing 60. The lower surface of the upper housing 73 abuts against the upper surface of the lower housing 71. The upper housing 73 has a plurality of sound outlet holes 733 at the positions corresponding to the display port 61, and a second passage port 735 at the positions corresponding to the first passage port 63. The second passage port 735 extends in the vertical direction, and the end of the connecting rod 41 away from the display screen 40 extends into the first passage port 63 through the second passage port 735.

[0073] It is understandable that the upper housing 73 further surrounds the speaker 23, effectively reducing the impact of vibration and resonance on the intelligent speaker 23, thus improving the speaker's sound performance. Simultaneously, this design avoids direct exposure of the speaker 23, reducing the possibility of damage from external objects and extending its lifespan. The lower housing 71 accommodates the support base 10. The contact area between the lower housing 71 and the support surface increases, further enhancing the speaker's stability. Furthermore, the projected area of ​​the lower housing 71 on the horizontal plane can be set to be the same as that of the upper housing 73, ensuring a consistent outer perimeter and enhancing aesthetics, thereby improving the product's market competitiveness. The upper shell 73 and the lower shell 71 can both have circular projections on the horizontal plane to keep their volume relatively small, and to maintain consistency with the lower shell on its outer circumferential surface after the outer shell 70 rotates with the inner shell 60 and the speaker body 20. To ensure that the upper cavity 731 of the upper shell 73 and the lower cavity 711 of the lower shell 71 are both relatively small, the projections of the support body 10, the inner shell 60, and the speaker body 20 on the horizontal plane can all be circular. Furthermore, to further improve the rotational stability of the speaker body 20 and the inner shell 60, the lower section of the inner shell 60 can extend between the sidewalls of the support body 10 and the lower cavity 711. Simultaneously, the inner shell 60 can also abut against the side circumferential surface of the support body 10 and the bottom wall of the lower cavity 711, so that the side circumferential surface of the support body 10 can provide rotational guidance, and the bottom wall of the lower cavity 711 can provide support.
