Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sound-generating device, and more particularly to a speaker capable of emitting sound waves in multiple directions. Background Technology

[0002] Speakers are very common devices in our lives. They are usually powered by electricity and produce sound by converting electrical signals into sound waves. They are commonly used in concerts, venue broadcasts, cinemas, or home theaters. These speakers are usually sold in pairs and symmetrically placed on both sides facing the audience to achieve a stereo effect. However, this symmetrical placement of speakers often only ensures a good sound reception experience for those near the center. As the speakers move further away from the center, a deviation occurs in the distance from which the sound waves from the two speakers reach the audience. This causes the two sound waves to not reach the audience simultaneously, creating a small time difference. Especially in larger venues, this deviation can reduce the sound quality for listeners at the edges of the venue.

[0003] Furthermore, a single traditional speaker can often only emit sound waves in the horizontal direction, which is usually insufficient for scenarios with gradients, such as theaters, stadiums, concerts, and other scenarios with height differences. Generally, the sound effects caused by height differences can be reduced by increasing the number of speakers in different directions and angles. However, too many speaker devices will also bring a lot of costs for debugging and manual handling and setup.

[0004] In a circular environment, ordinary speakers are somewhat difficult to handle because they mainly emit sound waves in one direction. Although multiple speakers can be placed in all directions to achieve a certain effect, the speaker placement in a circular environment becomes significantly more difficult and requires a higher level of technical skill from the sound engineer.

[0005] Traditional speakers mostly require external power and sound signals, making them less portable, and the large number of wires can also make the installation process difficult.

[0006] Furthermore, traditional speakers can only produce sound and cannot provide users with other sensory information or stimulation. This often makes listening to traditional speakers alone seem monotonous. In situations with specific needs, users need to configure other equipment to work with traditional speakers to create an atmosphere, which undoubtedly increases the complexity of operation and the cost of use.

[0042] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this invention, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0044] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0045] Figures 1A to 1D The first preferred embodiment of the present invention is a speaker 1. The speaker 1 can simultaneously emit sound waves and propagate sound effects in all directions, so that listeners in all directions can receive similar sound effects. At the same time, the speaker 1 includes a vertically upward sound-emitting element, so that the speaker 1 can emit sound waves upward to improve the listening effect of listeners located above. The speaker also has a reflective element, which can reflect part of the upward-propagating sound waves to different angles and directions, thereby further expanding the sound transmission range of the speaker 1, so that the speaker 1 can further propagate sound waves to different angles and heights to achieve a better listening effect in all directions.

[0046] The speaker 1 includes a housing assembly 10, a sound-emitting assembly 20, a transmission assembly 30, a power supply module 40, and a control module 50. The sound-emitting assembly 20 is disposed in the housing assembly 10 for transmitting sound outwards. The transmission assembly 30 is coaxially disposed above the sound-emitting assembly 20. The power supply module 40 is electrically connected to the sound-emitting assembly 20. The control module 50 is electrically connected to the sound-emitting assembly 20 and the power supply module 40.

[0047] The housing assembly 10 is used to protect the various components and modules installed therein. The housing assembly 10 includes a lower mounting portion 11, an upper mounting portion 12, two surrounding housings 13, and a dustproof component 14. The two surrounding housings 13 are combined and mounted on the lower mounting portion 11. The upper mounting portion 12 is fastened around the upper ends of the two surrounding housings 13. The dustproof component 14 is detachably mounted on the upper mounting portion 12 and is detachably connected to the conveying assembly 30.

[0048] Since the speaker 1 can emit sound waves and propagate sound effects in all directions at the same time, preferably, the outer shell assembly 10 of the speaker 1 is implemented as a structure with arc-shaped sides, and more preferably, the outer shell assembly 10 of the speaker 1 is implemented as an egg-shaped structure.

[0049] The lower mounting part 11 is mainly used to support and install various components and to ensure that the speaker 1 can be stably placed on various supporting surfaces, such as... Figure 2A As shown, the lower mounting portion 11 further includes a lower mounting base 111, a lower mounting ring 112, and an anti-slip pad 113. The anti-slip pad 113 is disposed at the bottom of the lower mounting base 111, and the lower mounting ring 112 is surrounded and covered on the side of the mounting base 111.

[0050] Because the lower mounting portion 11 needs to bear most of the weight of the speaker 1 on one hand, and also needs to contact various bearing surfaces on the other hand, the anti-slip pad 113 of the lower mounting portion 11 is preferably made of a material with a high coefficient of friction and a certain degree of elasticity, such as rubber or silicone. In order to better distribute the weight of the speaker 1, the lower mounting base 111 can be made of a hard plastic, because plastic has a low cost and is easy to mass-produce. The lower mounting ring 112, because it covers the lower mounting base 111, can prevent the lower mounting base 111 from deforming under force, and its structure is relatively simple. It can be made of a strong metal material, and more preferably, it can be made of stainless steel.

[0051] The upper mounting portion 12 is mainly used to fasten the two surrounding housings 13 and provide a mounting platform for the component body above them. The upper mounting portion 12 further includes an upper mounting base 121 and an upper mounting ring 122, and the upper mounting portion 12 also has a mounting hole 123. The upper mounting ring 122 is fastened around the upper ends of the two surrounding housings 13, and the upper mounting base 121 is fixedly mounted on the upper mounting ring 122 and the upper edges of the two surrounding housings 13. The mounting hole 123 is opened in the middle of the upper mounting portion 12.

[0052] The upper mounting base 121 is used to install and fix the transmission assembly 30, the upper mounting ring 122 is used to fasten the upper parts of the two surrounding housings 13, and the mounting hole 123 of the upper mounting part 12 allows the mounting part 12 to be nested and installed on the top of the sound-generating assembly 20.

[0053] Preferably, the upper mounting base 121 is made of a hard plastic, and the upper mounting ring 122 is made of a metal, more preferably stainless steel.

[0054] The two surrounding shells 13 primarily serve to protect the sound-generating component 20 enclosed within them. Simultaneously, the surrounding shells 13 do not obstruct the sound waves emitted by the sound-generating component 20, allowing the sound waves to easily penetrate. The two surrounding shells 13 combine to form a 360° protective enclosure surrounding the sound-generating component 20. Each surrounding shell 13 further includes a sound-guiding frame 131 and a covering layer 132. The surrounding component 13 further has multiple side sound-guiding holes 133. The covering layer 132 is attached to the outer side of the sound-guiding frame 131, and each side sound-guiding hole 133 is formed through the sound-guiding frame 131 from both the inside and outside.

[0055] The sound guide frame 131 can protect the sound-generating component 20 inside the speaker 1 while also bearing the weight from the upper mounting part 12. The covering layer 132 can prevent dust or debris from falling into the interior of the speaker 1 through the side sound guide holes 133 surrounding the outer shell 13.

[0056] Preferably, the sound guide frame 131 is made of a hard plastic, the covering layer 132 is made of a textile, and the covering layer 132 is woven with a certain texture to increase its coefficient of friction, so that when the user holds and moves the speaker 1 through the covering layer 132, a large friction force can be generated to prevent it from slipping.

[0057] On the other hand, the sound-generating component 20 is surrounded by the sound-guiding frame 131 of each of the surrounding shells 13. The sound waves emitted by the sound-generating component 20 can be propagated to all sides through the side sound-guiding holes 133 of the surrounding shells 13. At the same time, by opening multiple side sound-guiding holes 133 in the sound-guiding frame 131, its weight can be further reduced, and the overall weight of the speaker 1 can be reduced.

[0058] The dustproof component 14 is mainly used to cover the conveying assembly 30 to prevent dust from falling into it. The dustproof component 14 further includes a dust cover 141, a sound guide cover 142 and a connector 143. The dustproof component 14 has a plurality of upper sound guide holes 144. The connector 143 is installed on the top of the sound guide cover 142. The dust cover 141 is covered on the outer layer of the sound guide cover 142. Each of the sound guide holes 144 is opened vertically through the sound guide cover 142.

[0059] On the other hand, the connector 143 of the dustproof component 14 is detachably connected to the top of the transmission assembly 30, so that the dustproof component 14 can be removed or installed according to the user's needs. Meanwhile, the sound waves emitted upward by the sound-emitting component 20 can pass through the upper sound guide holes 144 of the sound guide cover 14.

[0060] Furthermore, by opening the upper sound guide hole 144, the weight of the sound guide cover 14 can be reduced, and the weight of the dustproof component 14 can be further reduced, since it may be moved frequently, and the lower weight can reduce the difficulty for the user to move it.

[0061] Preferably, the sound guide cover 142 is made of a hard plastic, and the dust cover 141 is made of a textile.

[0062] The sound-emitting component 20 is mainly used to emit sound waves in multiple directions, such as Figure 2A As shown, the sound-generating component 20 includes a first sound-generating part 21 and a second sound-generating part 22, and the sound-generating component 20 also has a receiving cavity 23. The first sound-generating part 21 is disposed in the outer shell component 10 to emit sound in all directions, and the second sound-generating part 22 is connected to the top of the first sound-generating part 21 to emit sound upwards. The receiving cavity 23 is opened at the bottom of the first sound-generating part 21, that is, the receiving cavity 23 is opened at the bottom of the sound-generating component 20.

[0063] The first sound-emitting part 21 and the second sound-emitting part 22 are electrically connected to the power supply module 40 and the control module 50, respectively. The first sound-emitting part 21 can emit sound waves in all directions 360°, and the second sound-emitting part 22 can emit sound waves vertically upward. Through the coordinated work of the first sound-emitting part 21 and the second sound-emitting part 22, the speaker 1 can emit sound waves in both horizontal and vertical directions at the same time, so that listeners in all directions can hear better sound effects.

[0064] As shown in 3A and 3B, the first sound-generating part 21 further includes two active sound generators 211, two passive vibrators 212, a sealing cover 214 and a sound-generating frame 215, and the first sound-generating part 21 has two vibration chambers 213.

[0065] Two vibration chambers 213 are formed in the sound-generating frame 215 in a mutually isolated manner. Two active sound generators 211 are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the sound-generating frame 215, and each active sound generator 211 is connected to a different vibration chamber 213. The two active sound generators 211 are electrically connected to the power supply module 40 and the control module 50, respectively. Two passive vibrators 212 are symmetrically arranged on the other two sides of the sound-generating frame 215, and each passive vibrator 212 is connected to a different vibration chamber 213. The sealing cover 214 is sealed and installed on the top of the sound-generating frame 215 so that each vibration chamber 213 forms a sealed space.

[0066] In simple terms, one of the active sound generators 211 and one of the passive vibrators 212 are connected to one of the vibration chambers 213, and another active vibrator 211 and another passive vibrator 212 are connected to another vibration chamber 213. Furthermore, the active sound generators 211 and passive vibrators 212 are spaced apart and positioned in different directions on the sound-generating frame 215. When the active sound generator 211 vibrates due to an electric current, it can drive the passive vibrator 212 connected to the same vibration chamber 213 to vibrate. The different orientations of the active sound generators 211 and passive vibrators 212 allow the sound-generating assembly 20 to emit sound waves in a 360° horizontal direction.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sound-generating frame 215 further includes two spacers 216. The two spacers 216 divide the sound-generating frame 215 into two parts by connecting adjacent sides of the sound-generating frame 215. Specifically, the two sides of the sound-generating frame 215 and one of the spacers 216 define a vibration cavity 213. The spacer 216 has a groove 2161. When the two spacers 216 are fitted together facing each other, the grooves 2161 are fitted together facing each other to form the receiving cavity 23. Preferably, the groove 2161 is disposed in the middle of the spacer 216. That is, the receiving cavity 23 is formed at the center of the lower part of the first sound-generating part. The receiving cavity 23 is surrounded by the two vibration cavities 213.

[0068] The second sound-emitting part 22 is used to emit sound waves vertically upwards. When the listener's horizontal height is higher than that of the speaker 1, the second sound-emitting part 22 can better enhance the listening effect at higher altitudes. The second sound-emitting part 22 further includes a mounting base 221, a top sound emitter 222, and a central reflector 223. The second sound-emitting part 22 also has a central reflective surface 224. The mounting base 221 is mounted on the sealing cover 214 of the first sound-emitting part 21. The top sound emitter 222 is mounted upwards on the mounting base 221 and is electrically connected to the power supply module 40 and the implementation control module 50. The central reflector 223 is located at the top center of the top sound emitter 222, and the central reflective surface 224 is formed on the upper surface of the central reflector 223.

[0069] On the other hand, the upper part of the top sound generator 222 is embedded in the mounting hole 123 of the upper mounting part 12, so that the sound generating component 20 can be stably fixed in the housing component 10.

[0070] The receiving cavity 23 can be used to install some components of the power supply module 40, providing a larger installation space to accommodate larger battery components.

[0071] The transmission component 30 is coaxially connected to the upper mounting base 121 of the upper mounting part 12 along the second sound-emitting part 22. The transmission component 30 is mainly used to reflect some of the sound waves emitted by the second sound-emitting part 22 in various directions and angles. The transmission component 30 further includes a transmission body 31, a suspension component 32 and a light-emitting element 33. The lower end of the suspension component 32 is connected to the upper mounting base 121 of the upper mounting part 12 of the housing assembly 10. The transmission body 31 is suspended at the axis of the suspension component 32. The light-emitting element 33 is disposed on the top of the transmission body 31 and illuminates downwards. At the same time, the light-emitting element 33 is electrically connected to the power supply module 40 and the control module 50 respectively.

[0072] On the other hand, the transmitter 31 is coaxially suspended directly above the second sound-emitting part 22 to uniformly reflect a portion of the sound waves emitted by the second sound-emitting part 22. Preferably, the transmitter 31 is implemented as a sphere to achieve uniform sound wave reflection.

[0073] In this first preferred embodiment of the invention, the conveyor 31 is implemented as a glass ball. It is not difficult to infer that the conveyor 31 can also be implemented as a ball made of other materials, such as a metal ball, a plastic ball, a stone ball, an acrylic ball, etc., including opaque balls and transparent balls.

[0074] The transmitting body 31 further comprises an outer reflective surface 311 and an inner reflective surface 312. The outer reflective surface 311 is formed on the outer surface of the transmitting body 31, and the inner reflective surface 312 is formed on the inner surface of the transmitting body 31. The outer reflective surface 311 can reflect a portion of the sound waves emitted by the second sound-emitting part 22 to various surrounding directions, and the inner reflective surface 312 can reflect a portion of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 33 onto the transmitting body 31 to various surrounding directions. Moreover, a portion of the light-emitting element 33 directly passes through the inner reflective surface 312 and illuminates the central reflective surface 224 of the second sound-emitting part 22, and is further reflected by the central reflective surface 224 of the second sound-emitting part 22 to the surrounding areas.

[0075] It is worth mentioning that high frequencies have strong directionality and are easily reflected. Without the sound wave reflection by the transmission component 30 and the transmission body 31, most of the high frequencies emitted by the second sound-emitting part 22 would propagate vertically upwards, causing the speaker 1 to lose some sound effects during playback and resulting in sound distortion. By reflecting the sound waves through the transmission body 31, most of the high frequencies emitted by the second sound-emitting part 22 can be reflected to various directions, allowing listeners in the surrounding area to hear roughly the same sound effects.

[0076] Preferably, the outer reflecting surface 311 and the inner reflecting surface 312 are implemented as spherical surfaces, because spherical surfaces can reflect uniformly.

[0077] Preferably, the light-emitting element 33 is implemented as an LED lamp, and the light-emitting element 33 can change its color and brightness according to the control of the control module 50.

[0078] The suspension component 32 is used to suspend the conveyor body 31, so that the conveyor body 31 is suspended at a certain height directly above the top sound emitter 222 of the vertical generating part 22. The suspension component 32 further includes at least one cantilever 321, a central member 322, and a fixing member 323. The suspension component also has a fixing hole 324. The lower end of the cantilever 321 is connected to the upper edge of the housing assembly 10, that is, the edge of the upper mounting base 121 of the housing assembly 10, and the upper end of the cantilever 321 is connected to the central member 322. The central member 322 is coaxially positioned directly above the top emitter 222. The fixing hole 324 is vertically through the center of the central member 322, and the fixing member 323 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the fixing hole 324. Preferably, the central axis of the receiving cavity 23 is coaxial with the conveyor body 31.

[0079] Preferably, the number of cantilever 321 is three, and the three cantilever 321 are connected to the central member 322 at an included angle of 120°. This is because the three cantilever 321 can provide more stable support for the transmission assembly 30.

[0080] On the other hand, the connector 143 of the dustproof component 14 is detachably connected to the fixing member 323. Preferably, the fixing member 323 is made of magnetic material, and the connector 143 is made of ferromagnetic material containing iron or nickel, so that the dustproof component 14 can be easily disassembled and magnetically fixed to the conveying assembly 30.

[0081] The power supply module 40 provides power to the sound-generating component 20, the light-emitting element 33, and the control module 50. The power supply module 40 includes a power storage component 41 and a power interface 42. The power interface 42 is electrically connected to the power storage component 40 and is located at the lower part of the housing assembly 10, specifically at the lower mounting base 111 of the lower mounting portion 111 of the housing assembly 10. The power storage component 41 is installed in the receiving cavity 23 of the sound-generating component 20 and is electrically connected to the control module 50. The lower mounting portion 11 further includes a mounting cavity 114. The power storage component 41 is installed in the mounting cavity 114. The mounting cavity 114 is aligned with the receiving cavity 23. That is, the mounting cavity 114 is located in the middle of the lower mounting portion 11. Preferably, the power storage component is vertically disposed between the mounting cavity 114 and the receiving cavity 23. The mounting cavity 114 and the receiving cavity 23 are combined to form a battery cavity 24. That is, the battery cavity 24 is divided into two parts: the mounting cavity 114 and the battery cavity 24.

[0082] Preferably, the energy storage component 41 is a rechargeable battery.

[0083] The control module 50 is used to control the light-emitting element 33 of the sound-generating component 20 and the transmission component 30. The control module 50 includes a control circuit 51, a control panel 52 and a signal interface 53. The control panel 52 is electrically connected to the control circuit 51, and the signal interface 53 is electrically connected to the control circuit 51. At the same time, the control panel 52 is disposed on the upper mounting base 121 of the upper mounting part 12, and the signal interface 53 is disposed on the lower mounting base 111 of the lower mounting part 11. The control circuit 51 is electrically connected to the main vibrator 211, the top sound generator 222 and the light-emitting element 33.

[0084] The control circuit 51 can control the main vibrator 211, the top sound generator 222 and the light-emitting element 33 to work according to the user's operation or signal.

[0085] The control panel 52 is operable by the user and transmits the user's operation signals to the control circuit 51, which then responds.

[0086] The signal interface 53 is used to transmit audio signals to the control circuit 51, so that the control circuit 51 converts the audio signals into a changing current, and finally the changing current causes the active speaker 211 and the top speaker 222 of the sound-generating component 20 to emit different sound waves.

[0087] The signal interface 53 further includes a storage module 531, an input interface 532, an output interface 533, and a wireless transmission module 534. The storage module 531, the input interface 532, the output interface 533, and the wireless transmission module 534 are all communicatively electrically connected to the control circuit 51.

[0088] The storage module 531 can be used to connect to an external data medium, such as a memory card. By connecting the external data medium to the storage module 531, the control circuit 51 can read the audio data in the storage module 531 and emit sound waves by controlling the active speaker 211 and the top speaker 222 of the sound-emitting component 20.

[0089] The input interface 532 can be communicatively electrically connected to an external data source, such as a mobile phone, MP3 player, or other playback device. The input interface 533 can receive audio signals transmitted from the external data source and transmit the received audio signals to the control circuit 51. Finally, the control circuit 51 controls the active speaker 211 and the top speaker 222 to emit sound waves.

[0090] The output interface 533 can be communicatively and electrically connected to an external sound-generating device, such as other speakers. The control circuit 51 can read the audio data in the storage module 531, convert the audio data into an audio signal, and then transmit it to the external sound-generating device for playback through the output interface 533.

[0091] The wireless transmission module 534 can be wirelessly connected to an external data source, such as a mobile phone, laptop, or other device. The wireless transmission module 534 can receive audio signals transmitted from the external data source and transmit the received audio signals to the control circuit 51. Finally, the control circuit 51 controls the active speaker 211 and the top speaker 222 to emit sound waves.

[0092] When the speaker 1 plays music, the control module 50 can adjust the light-emitting element 33 according to the different characteristics of the music type, rhythm, style, etc., so that the light-emitting element 33 emits light in different ways. Then, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 33 is reflected to the surroundings through the transmitter 31 to create an atmosphere in conjunction with the music being played. Alternatively, the user can set the light-emitting logic of the light-emitting element 33 according to their own preferences through the control module 50.

[0093] For example, when the speaker 1 is playing fast-paced music, the control module 50 can control the light-emitting element 33 to flash rapidly according to the rhythm of the music. Then, through the transmission component, the light effect can be well matched with the sound effect to create a more exciting atmosphere. Or, when the speaker 1 is playing more soothing music, the control module 50 can control the light-emitting element to brighten and dim slowly according to the rhythm of the music to create a soothing atmosphere. In addition, the control module 50 can also control the light-emitting element 33 to emit different colors of light to match different atmospheres.

[0094] Alternatively, the user can control the light-emitting element 33 to work in a certain way through the control module 50, and then reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting element 33 to the surroundings through the transmitter 31. Even when the speaker 1 does not emit sound, it can provide a certain atmosphere for the user to match the atmosphere requirements of different scenarios.

[0095] Figure 4A The diagram shows the sound wave reflected by the transmission component 30 when the speaker 1 is working. The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of sound wave propagation. When the top speaker 222 of the second sound-emitting part 22 of the sound-emitting component 20 emits sound waves upward, some of the sound waves will propagate at different angles to the outer reflective surface 311 of the transmission body 31 of the transmission component 30. Then, these sound waves will be reflected by the reflective surface 311 of the transmission body 31 to various surrounding directions to improve the sound reception effect in various directions.

[0096] Figure 4B The diagram shows the light emitted by the light-emitting element 33 reflected by the central reflective surface 224 of the transmission component 30 and the second sound-emitting part 22 when the speaker 1 is working. The diagram illustrates the path of a certain light ray.

[0097] When the light-emitting element 33 emits light downwards, it emits light into the interior of the transmitter 21 from different angles. When the emitted light reaches the inner reflective surface 312 of the transmitter 21, part of the light exits the transmitter 21 and reaches the central reflective surface 224 of the second sound-emitting component 22, and is further emitted to the outside by the central reflective surface 224. The other part of the light is reflected by the inner reflective surface 312 of the transmitter 31 in other directions and finally exits the transmitter 31 from other directions.

[0098] When light is reflected similarly from all directions, the user can see the light emitted by the light-emitting element 33 from all 360° around the speaker 1, allowing the speaker 1 to change the light-emitting element 33 according to the music to create different musical atmospheres. Furthermore, the light-emitting element 33 can emit suggestive light, such as operation feedback, power indicators, and working status indicators, providing feedback to the user from all 360° when operating the speaker.
