DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: Figure 1-5 As shown, a ceiling-mounted sound and light combination audio system comprises a bottom shell 1, an audio system 11, a light strip 12 and a control panel. The audio system 11 and the light strip 12 are both mounted on the bottom shell 1. An adjustment mechanism is provided at one end of the bottom shell 1 relative to the audio system 11 and the light strip 12.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism includes a support suspension 13, an outer ring shell 2 and a control component. The bottom shell 1 is movably embedded in the outer ring shell 2. The support suspension 13 is arranged at the upper end of the outer ring shell 2 and forms a protective cover structure. The control component is arranged between the middle part of the support suspension 13 and the middle part of the upper end of the bottom shell 1.

[0027] Support clamping plates 3 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the outer ring shell 2 through torsion springs.

[0028] When installing the speaker 11, push the support card plate 3 on the outer ring shell 2 upward to keep it vertical to the ground as much as possible, so that the bottom shell 1 and the support suspension 13 can be easily inserted into the reserved hole of the ceiling. When the support card plate 3 and the support suspension 13 are fully inserted into the ceiling, the support card plate 3 automatically flips over through the action of the torsion spring to keep it in contact with the inside of the ceiling, that is, parallel to the ground. At this time, the support card plate 3 cooperates with the ceiling to form a support, which makes installation convenient and quick.

[0029] During the use of the audio 11, the light strip 12 and the audio 11 are controlled by the control panel through the signal harness, and the control panel can realize remote control through functions such as Bluetooth module and wireless communication module. In some scenarios, if it is necessary to adjust the sound direction of the audio 11 to achieve a better stereo surround sound effect, the state of the audio 11 in different positions can be adjusted through the control panel. During the adjustment, the control panel changes the direction and angle of the audio 11 according to the adjustment using the control component. Compared with the conventional direct installation, the sound of the audio 11 facing the ground can more effectively spread the sound to the user's position, making the surround sound effect more three-dimensional and better. At the same time, this can also be based on different places of use. For example, most ceiling-mounted surround stereo audio systems 11 are mostly installed in the living room. Then, when the user is dining in the restaurant, the direction of the audio 11 can be adjusted to make the sound match the user's position as much as possible, thereby achieving a better effect.

[0030] When the speaker 11 is not in use, the light strip 12 can be used as a conventional downlight or spotlight. Especially when there are decorations indoors, the direction of the speaker 11 can be adjusted to reflect light on the decorations, thereby improving the aesthetic effect of the interior.

[0031] The control component includes an inner gear ring 4, a driving motor 41, a driving wheel 42, a pusher and a connector. The inner gear ring 4 is rotatably arranged on the support suspension 13 through a bracket and is concentrically distributed with the outer ring shell 2. The driving motor 41 is fixed to the support suspension 13 through a bracket. The driving wheel 42 is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 41 and meshes with the inner gear ring 4. The pusher is fixed at the lower end of the inner gear ring 4, and the connector is arranged between the upper end of the bottom shell 1 and the support suspension 13.

[0032] The pusher includes a slide plate 43, an electric control push rod 44, a first ball head 45 and a connecting ring 46. The slide plate 43 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the inner gear ring 4. The electric control push rod 44 is elastically slidably arranged at the lower end of the slide plate 43 and slides to the side away from the middle of the bottom shell 1 in the initial state. The first ball head 45 is connected to the output shaft of the electric control push rod 44. The connecting ring 46 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the bottom shell 1. The vertical section of the connecting ring 46 is a semicircular structure and the opening section line exceeds the height of its own center of circle. The first ball head 45 is movably embedded in the opening of the connecting ring 46.

[0033] The connector includes a second ball head 5 and a connecting cover 51. The connecting cover 51 is connected to the supporting suspension 13 and is aligned with the center of the bottom shell 1. The vertical section of the connecting cover 51 is a semicircular structure and the opening section line exceeds the height of its own center. The second ball head 5 is connected to the upper end of the bottom shell 1 and is movably embedded in the connecting cover 51.

[0034] When the audio 11 or the light strip 12 is in use, the drive motor 41 is started to rotate forward or reverse according to the signal output by the control panel, so as to drive the inner gear ring 4 by the drive wheel 42. In order to facilitate wiring, the rotation of the drive motor 41 does not exceed 360° to avoid the wiring harness from being wound around the knot or being damaged by excessive pulling. When the inner gear ring 4 rotates, it will drive the first ball head 45 in the pusher to slide along the opening of the connecting ring 46. In the initial state, the first ball head 45 and the connecting ring 46 are balanced, that is, the first ball head 45 only slides in the connecting ring 46, and the bottom shell 1 remains parallel to the surface of the outer ring shell 2. When the first ball head 45 moves to the specified adjustment position, the electric control push rod 44 starts to extend its output shaft, and uses the first ball head 45 to push the connecting ring 46 and the bottom shell 1, so that the second ball head 5 at the upper end of the bottom shell 1 and the connecting cover 51 are flipped, and then the direction of the speaker 11 and the light strip 12 on the bottom shell 1 is adjusted to achieve a flexible adjustment effect. Since the first ball head 45, the second ball head 5, the connecting ring 46 and the connecting cover 51 are interlocked and clamped, and the two ball heads are limited by the radius size, they can achieve a stable and convenient adjustment effect under different orientations and angles.

[0035] An extension ring 7 is provided on the upper inner part of the outer ring shell 2, and a corrugated cover 71 is provided between the extension ring 7 and the upper end of the bottom shell 1; when the bottom shell 1 is flipped, a gap will appear between the outer ring shell 2 and the bottom shell 1. At this time, in order to improve the aesthetics and prevent external impurities, flying insects, etc. from entering through the gap, the corrugated cover 71 is provided at this time so that the bottom shell 1 can be flipped and the flipping changes of the bottom shell 1 in different directions and angles can be met, while at the same time playing the effect of closing the gap.

[0036] Example 2: Figure 1-2 As shown in , 4-5, it is a further improvement on the basis of Example 1, a locking assembly is further provided between the outer ring shell 2 and the supporting card plate 3, and the locking assembly includes a rotating bolt 6, a sleeve 61, an extension rod 62 and a gear 63. The rotating bolt 6 rotates from bottom to top and penetrates the outer ring shell 2. The sleeve 61 is arranged on the outer ring shell 2 and slides up and down through the guide ribs and is threadedly sleeved with the rotating bolt 6. The extension rod 62 is connected to the supporting card plate 3 and is concentric with its rotation point. The gear 63 is arranged in the middle of the extension rod 62, and a rack 64 meshing and matching with the gear 63 is provided on the side of the sleeve 61.

[0037] There are four supporting clamps 3 which are evenly arranged in a ring shape, and two supporting clamps 3 with locking components are arranged opposite to each other.

[0038] In order to improve the stability of the speaker 11 after installation and avoid the speaker 11 from sagging or falling from the ceiling due to the aging of the torsion spring of the supporting card plate 3 during the long-term support process, after the speaker 11 is initially inserted into the installation hole of the ceiling, the rotating bolt 6 can be twisted by a tool, wherein the twisting end of the rotating bolt 6 can be a cross opening or a hexagonal slot, so as to facilitate operation with a knife or an inner hexagon wrench;

[0039] Before installation, the sleeve 61 is kept in a state of being retracted downward into the outer ring shell 2 to the maximum extent, so that the gear 63 can be turned upward by pulling the rack 64 downward. Of course, according to the meshing direction of the rack 64 relative to the gear 63, the sleeve 61 can also be kept in a state of being extended out of the outer ring shell 2 to the maximum extent. In this embodiment, the rack 64 is located at the rear side of the gear 63, which makes it easy to manually flip the two support card plates 3 to perform preliminary installation of the speaker 11. After the preliminary installation is completed, the rotating bolt 6 can be twisted with a tool. At this time, the sleeve 61 is pulled out of the guide ribs. The sleeve 61 threadedly connected with the rotating bolt 6 will retract the outer ring shell 2. At this time, the rack 64 moves accordingly and drives the gear 63. The gear 63 rotates and uses the extension rod 62 to flip the support card 3 until the support card 3 is parallel to the inner wall of the ceiling. In this way, the state of the support card 3 can be locked through the meshing between the gear 63 and the rack 64 and the self-locking effect of the thread. At the same time, the adjustment part is integrated into the outer ring shell 2, which can effectively reduce the space occupancy of the device and make the appearance of the equipment more neat and beautiful.

[0040] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
