[0030] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0031] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an elastic fixing structure of an audio output unit, which comprises a locking lug and an elastic arm assembly; the locking lug is used to connect with the audio output unit, and the audio output unit is connected to a connected structure through the locking lug; the elastic arm assembly is connected to the locking lug and has a certain elasticity to absorb the vibration generated when the audio output unit produces sound.

[0032] The following describes the structures of the elastic fixing structure of the audio output unit and the connection relationship between the structures in combination with the drawings.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 5As shown, the locking lug 1 includes a sleeve hole 11, and a protruding column is arranged on the structure connected to the audio output unit 3, and the locking lug 1 is sleeved on the column through the sleeve hole 11. The elastic arm assembly 2 includes an elastic arm 21 and a protruding point 22, the elastic arm 21 is arranged in parallel with the surface of the locking lug 1, one end of the elastic arm 21 is connected to the locking lug 1, the other end is connected to the protruding point 22, and the top end of the protruding point 22 is higher than the surface of the elastic arm 21.

[0034] In use, the structure of the structure connected to the audio output unit 3 is pressed on the upper surface of the protruding point 22, and the structure interferes with the elastic arm assembly 2; when the audio output unit 3 is used, the vibration generated by the audio output unit 3 is transmitted to the elastic arm 21 through the locking lug 1, and the vibration is absorbed by the deformation of the elastic arm 21 of the elastic arm assembly 2.

[0035] In the example of the present disclosure, the elastic arm 21 includes a connecting part 211 and an elastic arm part 212; one end of the connecting part 211 is connected to the elastic arm part 212, the other end is connected to the locking lug 1, the elastic arm part 212 is arranged in parallel with the surface of the locking lug 1, the elastic arm part 212 is arc-shaped, and the arc center of the elastic arm part 212 coincides with the center of the sleeve hole 11.

[0036] For example, one or two arc-shaped elastic arm parts 212 are arranged at one end of the connecting part 211. The elastic arm part 212 is arc-shaped, which can be distributed around the sleeve hole 11, so that it does not extend beyond the position of the locking lug 1, and the structure is more compact.

[0037] In the example of the present disclosure, the elastic arm assembly 2 includes a plurality of elastic arms 21 and protruding points 22, the elastic arm parts 212 in the plurality of elastic arms 21 are arranged on the same circumference, and the elastic arm parts 212 are uniformly arranged on the same circumference, so that when the locking lug 1 is subjected to downward pressure, the pressure can be on the same circumference. For example, the elastic arm parts 212 in the plurality of elastic arms 21 are uniformly arranged on the same circumference, or tend to be uniformly arranged, so that when the locking lug 1 is subjected to downward interference pressure, the force is uniformly distributed, so as to avoid / reduce the phenomenon of tilting of the locking lug 1.

[0038] In the example of the present disclosure, the setting form of the elastic arm assembly 2 is selected according to the space requirement of the installation position of the locking lug 1. Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, one end of the connecting part 211 is connected perpendicularly to the surface of the locking lug 1, and the connecting part 211 has a set height; or, a sleeve 12 protruding from the surface of the locking lug 1 is arranged on the locking lug 1, the sleeve 12 coincides with the sleeve hole 11, and one end of the connecting part 211 is connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 12; the bottom surface of the elastic arm part 212 has a set interval with the surface of the locking lug 1.

[0039] Therefore, the elastic arm part 212 can be connected with the locking lug 1 through the connecting part 211, or can be connected with the sleeve 12, and the height range between the bottom surface of the elastic arm part 212 and the surface of the locking lug 1 can be controlled. For example, when the elastic arm part 212 is directly connected with the surface of the locking lug 1 through the connecting part 211, the height of the elastic arm part 212 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the connecting part 211; when the elastic arm part 212 is connected with the outer wall of the sleeve 12, the height of the elastic arm part 212 can be adjusted by changing the height of the sleeve 12.

[0040] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the height of the elastic arm assembly 2 is relatively high, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 The height of the elastic arm assembly 2 is relatively low, and the corresponding installation structure can be selected according to the actual situation of the installation space.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the locking lug 1 is provided with an avoiding hole 13 which is arranged opposite to the elastic arm part 212. Each elastic arm part 212 corresponds to an avoiding hole 13, and when in use, the avoiding hole provides sufficient deformation space for the elastic arm part 212, and even in the case that the distance between the elastic arm part 212 and the locking lug 1 is small, the vibration absorption can still be realized.

[0042] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an electronic product comprising the elastic fixing structure of the audio output unit. For example, the electronic product is a notebook computer, a tablet computer or a mobile terminal, etc. The corresponding mounting column is arranged on the shell structure, and the sleeve hole 11 of the locking lug 1 in the elastic fixing structure of the audio output unit is sleeved on the mounting column.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic product further comprises a pressing structure 4 for pressing the protruding point 22; the pressing structure 4 is connected with the shell and / or the circuit board of the electronic product. For example, the pressing structure 4 is part of the shell or the circuit board, or can be a separately designed structure and is connected with the original shell or the circuit board. After the installation of the elastic fixing structure of the audio output unit is completed, the pressing structure 4 of the shell or the circuit board etc. is pressed on the elastic arm assembly 2.

[0044] For example, the pressing structure 4 comprises a pressing surface 41 for abutting with the protruding point 22. After the position of the elastic arm assembly 2 is determined, the corresponding pressing surface 41 can be arranged on the corresponding pressing structure 4, and the pressing surface 41 is a planar structure which can abut with the protruding point 22.

[0045] The elastic fixing structure of the audio output unit and the electronic product provided by the present disclosure integrates the elastic arm assembly 2 on the locking lug 1, and the elastic arm 21 and the convex point 22 on the elastic arm assembly 2 are used to absorb the vibration when the audio output unit 3 emits sound. In the technical scheme of the present disclosure, the components are integrated to avoid loss and make the structure more compact and the space utilization higher, and at least two shock-absorbing rubber sleeves and two fixing screws are saved, which not only optimizes the assembly operation, but also saves costs.
