DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0062] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0063] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0064] A microphone is a transducer that converts sound into an electronic signal. Its official Chinese name is microphone, also known as microphone, pickup, and loudspeaker. Its basic principle is based on sound-to-electric conversion, that is, sound is transmitted through the air to the diaphragm of the microphone, causing the diaphragm to vibrate, which in turn drives the internal circuit to generate a corresponding electrical signal. This electrical signal is then amplified, processed, and stored or transmitted. In the prior art, the microphone is connected to the speaker signal to achieve karaoke or speech. When not in use, the microphone can be stored separately from the speaker, or it can be integrated with the speaker. The microphone can be partially inserted into the speaker, and the other part can be exposed outside the speaker, or it can be completely stored in the speaker.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 24An embodiment of the present invention provides a smart speaker 300, including a speaker body 310 and a microphone storage assembly 100, wherein the microphone storage assembly 100 is disposed in the speaker body 310, and the microphone storage assembly 100 includes a driving assembly 130 and a supporting seat 120 for supporting a microphone 200, wherein the driving assembly 130 is disposed opposite to the supporting seat 120, and the driving assembly 130 is connected to the supporting seat 120 to drive the supporting seat 120 to move along a first direction. For example, the conventional storage structure of the microphone 200 usually uses a purely mechanical structure to realize the storage and taking out of the microphone 200. The purely mechanical structure stores and fixes the microphone 200 (for example, using self-locking structures such as springs, swing arms, hook locks, etc.) to realize the reciprocating storage of the microphone 200. Due to the angle deviation and durability factors of the design, locking failure or unlocking failure is prone to occur, which leads to high instability of the mechanical structure and affects the user experience. At the same time, the prior art also discloses that in order to smoothly take out the microphone 200 in the storage slot 121, the opening 1211 of the storage slot 121 is set large enough to allow the user to manually pull out the microphone 200. Therefore, a large gap needs to be reserved between the storage slot 121 and the microphone 200. In addition, in order to facilitate the user to place the microphone 200, an inclined guide groove is usually set at the opening 1211 of the storage groove 121, so that the gap between the microphone 200 and the storage groove 121 is further increased, thereby causing dust or other foreign matter to easily enter the storage groove 121, resulting in adverse consequences. The microphone storage assembly 100 of the present application uses an electric method to drive the microphone 200 to rise and fall. Such a structural design is conducive to improving the precise control of the microphone 200 rise and fall, avoiding the instability of a purely mechanical structure, and at the same time changing from manual lifting to electric lifting, thereby reducing the gap between the storage groove 121 and the microphone 200, and canceling the setting of the guide groove, thereby effectively preventing dust or foreign matter from entering the storage groove 121. The connection between the drive assembly 130 and the bearing seat 120 can be a fixed connection or a movable connection.

[0066] like Fig.13 As shown, when the microphone 200 is placed in the storage slot 121, the gap D between the microphone 200 and the storage slot 121 is very small. Specifically, in this embodiment, the gap D is in the range of 0-1.5 mm. At this time, there is a gap fit between the microphone 200 and the storage slot 121, which is conducive to preventing dust or foreign matter from entering the storage slot 121 and improving the sealing and dustproof effect. In addition, the storage slot 121 provided by the present application cancels the setting of the guide slot, further preventing dust or foreign matter from entering the storage slot 121.

[0067] In a possible embodiment, the first direction can be a vertical direction or a horizontal direction, and the function of the driving component 130 is to drive the support seat 120 to move. Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving component 130 can drive the support seat 120 to rise or drive the support seat 120 to fall. Of course, as an alternative, the driving component 130 can also be set to only drive the support seat 120 to rise, and then use other methods (such as manual pressing) to achieve the descent of the support seat 120, or the driving component 130 can be set to only drive the support seat 120 to fall, and then use other methods (such as manual pressing) to achieve the rise of the support seat 120.

[0068] The microphone storage assembly 100 further includes a fixing seat 110, the fixing seat 110 is formed with a mounting groove 1111, and the bearing seat 120 is slidably mounted in the mounting groove 1111. The fixing seat 110 includes a seat body 111 and a guide column 112, the mounting groove 1111 is formed on the seat body 111, the guide column 112 is disposed in the mounting groove 1111, and the bearing seat 120 is slidably connected to the guide column 112.

[0069] As an alternative, the fixing seat 110 may be eliminated, the guide column 112 may be directly mounted on the housing 311 of the sound box, the bearing seat 120 may be slidably mounted on the guide column 112, the driving assembly 130 may be connected to the bearing seat 120, and the driving assembly 130 may drive the bearing seat 120 to move up and down along the guide column 112 to realize the lifting and lowering of the microphone 200. Compared with the solution of setting the fixing seat 110, the solution of this embodiment reduces the fixing seat 110, reduces the material cost, the processing and assembly cost, and simplifies the assembly and assembly process.

[0070] As an alternative, an elastic component is provided on the inner surface of the storage groove 121. The elastic component can be made of elastic materials such as airbags or silicone. After the microphone 200 is inserted, part of the microphone 200 is wrapped or squeezed. When the microphone 200 is not placed in the storage groove 121, the size of the accommodating cavity formed on the elastic component is smaller than the size of the microphone 200. When the microphone 200 is placed in the accommodating cavity, the elastic component tightly wraps the microphone 200. This is not only conducive to reducing the speed of the microphone 200 when it falls, but also can form a seal when the microphone 200 is stored, preventing dust and other foreign matter from entering the storage groove 121.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The microphone storage assembly 100 in this embodiment changes the storage structure to a motor drive, and the motor drive can provide more precise control, so that the positioning of the microphone 200 during the storage and retrieval process is more accurate, and the motor drive structure is generally more stable, reducing the change in the gap D caused by vibration or impact. Therefore, the microphone storage assembly 100 of the present application can set the gap D between the storage slot 121 and the microphone 200 to be very small, and no guide groove is set at the opening 1211 of the storage slot 121, which is beneficial to prevent dust or other foreign matter from entering the storage slot 121 from the guide groove, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the stability of the microphone storage assembly 100 and extending the service life of the microphone storage assembly 100 and the microphone 200.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In a possible implementation, the driving assembly 130 includes a driving motor 131 and a gear 132, the gear 132 is connected to the driving end of the driving motor 131, and the supporting seat 120 is formed with a rack portion 122 that cooperates with the gear 132. Exemplarily, the driving motor 131 is fixedly mounted on the fixing seat 110, the gear 132 is meshed with the rack portion 122, the driving motor 131 drives the gear 132 to rotate, and the gear 132 drives the supporting seat 120 to rise or fall. It can be understood that when the gear 132 does not rotate, it can serve as a fixing member of the supporting seat 120. If the gear 132 does not move, the supporting seat 120 does not move, and the microphone 200 does not move. When the gear 132 rotates forward, the supporting seat 120 drives the microphone 200 to rise along the guide column 112, and the microphone 200 is taken out; when the gear 132 rotates reversely, the supporting seat 120 drives the microphone 200 to rise along the guide column 112, and the microphone 200 is stored. It should be noted that the triggering mode of the driving motor 131 may be, but is not limited to, the following modes: The first triggering mode is triggered by pressing a button. For example, a single button is set. When the button is pressed short, the microphone storage assembly 100 rises, and when the button is pressed long, the microphone storage assembly 100 falls. Two buttons may also be set, one button controls the microphone storage assembly 100 to rise, and the other button controls the microphone storage assembly 100 to fall. The second triggering mode is to set a knob trigger. For example, when the knob is rotated clockwise, the microphone storage assembly 100 rises, and when the knob is rotated counterclockwise, the microphone storage assembly 100 falls. Of course, the opposite is also possible. The third triggering mode is to set a roller trigger. When the roller rolls forward, the microphone storage assembly 100 rises, and when the roller rolls reversely, the microphone storage assembly 100 falls. Of course, the opposite is also possible. The fourth triggering mode is voice command triggering. Voice command triggering includes, but is not limited to, fixed voice content commands (for example, the trigger words may be karaoke, microphone 200, rise, fall, etc.), sound commands (for example, snapping fingers, clapping hands), and the like. The fifth triggering mode is triggered by touch operation, for example, setting a pop-up instruction or setting a lifting icon on the screen 315, or setting a sensing area on the top of the microphone 200, or setting a sensing area on the top of the storage slot 121. The sixth triggering mode is infrared induction triggering, an infrared transmitter is set in the storage slot 121, and the user's hand covers the storage slot 121 for a certain period of time (for example, 5S) and then lifts the microphone 200.

[0073] In a possible implementation, the driving assembly 130 may also be disposed on the bearing seat 120 , and the rack portion 122 is formed on the guide column 112 . When the driving assembly 130 drives the bearing seat 120 to rise and fall, the driving assembly 130 rises and falls along with the bearing seat 120 .

[0074] As an alternative, the drive assembly 130 may not be limited to using the gear 132 rack structure to achieve lifting and lowering, and may also use other methods, including the following solutions: the first is to use a reeling and unwinding mechanism and a traction rope, the reeling and unwinding mechanism is connected to the drive motor 131, the traction rope is connected between the reeling and unwinding mechanism and the bearing seat 120, the drive motor 131 rotates to drive the reeling and unwinding mechanism to rotate to achieve the reeling and unwinding of the traction rope, thereby achieving the lifting and lowering of the bearing seat 120. The second is to use a hydraulic lifting mechanism, that is, a hydraulic rod, the hydraulic lifting mechanism is connected to the bearing seat 120, and directly drives the bearing seat 120 to achieve lifting and lowering. The third is to use a pneumatic lifting mechanism, the pneumatic lifting mechanism is connected to the bearing seat 120, and directly drives the bearing seat 120 to achieve lifting and lowering. The fourth is to use an upper electromagnet, a lower electromagnet and an iron block, the upper electromagnet and the lower electromagnet are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the mounting groove 1111, and the iron block is arranged on the bearing seat 120, and the lifting and lowering of the bearing seat 120 is achieved by controlling the on and off of the upper electromagnet and the lower electromagnet.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In a possible embodiment, the fixed seat 110 includes a seat body 111 and a guide column 112, a mounting groove 1111 is formed on the seat body 111, the guide column 112 is arranged in the mounting groove 1111, and the bearing seat 120 is slidably connected to the guide column 112. Exemplarily, the guide column 112 can be a separate part, and then installed on the fixed seat 110 or the shell 311. Of course, as an alternative, the guide column 112 can also be integrally formed with the shell 311 or the fixed seat 110. The bearing seat 120 has a sliding groove, which is arranged on the side of the storage groove 121, and the bearing seat 120 is connected to the guide column 112 through the sliding groove. And the sliding groove is arranged between the rack part 122 and the storage groove 121. The sliding cooperation between the guide column 112 and the bearing seat 120 ensures that the bearing seat 120 will not be offset when sliding, which is conducive to improving the accuracy and avoiding the microphone 200 or the bearing seat 120 and other parts from being damaged by collision during the sliding process. It is understandable that the guide post 112 is cylindrical, and the shape of the sliding groove is the same as that of the guide post 112. The cylindrical shape is conducive to the bearing seat 120 sliding along the guide post 112. Of course, in specific applications, the shapes of the guide post 112 and the sliding groove are not limited thereto. For example, as an alternative, its cross-section can also be rectangular, elliptical, trapezoidal or other irregular shapes, which are not restricted here. In addition, it should be noted that the seat body 111 includes a base and a storage cylinder, and the storage cylinder is mounted on the base by screws, wherein the guide post 112 is arranged in the base. The seat body 111 is divided into two sections for the convenience of processing and installation. The storage cylinder can also limit the bearing seat 120. When the microphone 200 is stored, it first enters from the storage cylinder, and then passes through the inside of the base, so that the microphone 200 completely falls into the storage groove 121, completing the storage of the microphone 200.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the microphone storage assembly 100 further includes a charging unit 140, the storage slot 121 is provided with an opening 1211, and the charging unit 140 is provided at one end of the storage slot 121 away from the opening 1211. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, specifically, the charging unit 140 is installed inside the base, and the charging unit 140 is a charging probe, which can be an inserted charging probe or a contact charging probe. The charging probe extends into the storage slot 121 through the through slot. When the microphone 200 is placed in the storage slot 121, the charging interface 240 at the bottom of the microphone 200 contacts or inserts with the charging probe, thereby realizing the function of charging the microphone 200 when stored. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative, the charging unit 140 can also be provided in the form of wireless charging. The charging unit 140 can be integrated into the bearing seat 120, or can be provided on the fixing seat 110, or on other components of the smart speaker 300.

[0077] In a possible implementation, when the microphone 200 is in the storage state, the microphone 200 is completely placed in the storage groove 121, and the top of the microphone 200 is flush with the opening 1211, or the top of the microphone 200 is lower than the position of the opening 1211. When the microphone 200 needs to be taken, the microphone 200 moves along the first direction driven by the support base 120, and the top part of the microphone 200 passes through the opening 1211, so that the upper part of the microphone 200 is higher than the position of the opening 1211, which is convenient for the user to take. In addition, it should be noted that the opening 1211 can be a fixed open shape or an adaptive closed shape, which is opened only when the microphone 200 passes through.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the charging unit 140 is installed in the bearing seat 120, and the charging unit 140 is connected to the power source through the cable 190. Exemplarily, the charging unit 140 of this embodiment is arranged on the bearing seat 120, that is, the charging unit 140 will move with the bearing seat 120. It can be understood that the length of the cable 190 should be greater than the maximum distance from the charging unit 140 to the bottom of the mounting groove 1111, so that the cable 190 can cooperate with the movement of the charging unit 140. The advantage of this embodiment is low material cost and fewer assembly processes. In this embodiment, the charging unit 140 is a charging probe, which can be an inserted charging probe or a contact charging probe. When the microphone 200 is placed in the storage groove 121, the charging interface 240 at the bottom of the microphone 200 contacts or inserts the charging probe, thereby realizing the function of charging the microphone 200 when it is stored. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative, the charging unit 140 can also be set in the form of wireless charging.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a possible implementation, a first magnetic member 150 is provided on the bearing seat 120, and the microphone 200 is provided with a second magnetic member 210 that cooperates with the first magnetic member 150. Exemplarily, the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 210 can be permanent magnets or electromagnets. The first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 210 can attract each other. The second magnetic member 210 is provided at the tail of the microphone 200, and the first magnetic member 150 is provided at the bottom of the storage groove 121. The first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 210 can fix the microphone 200 in the storage groove 121, so that the microphone 200 will not shake when stored. The advantage of the storage assembly of this embodiment is that the charging part 140 is provided in the base, the overall height of the microphone 200 is reduced, there is no need to process the side groove of the microphone 200, and the microphone 200 cannot rotate left and right, the probe is fixed, and the stability is good.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 5 In a possible implementation, the microphone storage assembly 100 further includes a clamping jaw 160 and a third magnetic member 170, the clamping jaw 160 is connected to the fixing seat 110, the third magnetic member 170 is connected to the fixing seat 110 and is arranged close to the clamping jaw 160, and the microphone 200 is provided with a limiting groove 220 that cooperates with the clamping jaw 160, and a fourth magnetic member 230 that cooperates with the third magnetic member 170. Exemplarily, the clamping jaw 160 and the third magnetic member 170 are arranged on the side of the storage tube away from the base, that is, the clamping jaw 160 and the third magnetic member 170 are arranged close to the entrance of the storage slot 121. On the one hand, the clamping claw 160 cooperates with the limiting groove 220 to fix the microphone 200 in the storage groove 121. On the other hand, when the microphone 200 is lifted but not taken out, the microphone 200 still needs to be fixed. However, the clamping claw 160 has been separated from the limiting groove 220. Therefore, the third magnetic member 170 and the fourth magnetic member 230 are provided to cooperate and assist in fixing the microphone 200. The third magnetic member 170 and the fourth magnetic member 230 can be permanent magnets or electromagnets, and the third magnetic member 170 and the fourth magnetic member 230 can attract each other.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 5 In a possible implementation, the driving assembly 130 is located on one side of the supporting seat 120. For example, compared with the driving assembly 130 being arranged at the bottom of the supporting seat 120, the advantages of arranging the driving assembly 130 on one side of the supporting seat 120 are: first, it is conducive to reducing the overall height of the microphone storage assembly 100; second, when the microphone 200 is manually stored, the microphone 200 may be affected by the driving assembly 130 during the descent process, and the driving assembly 130 arranged at the bottom will hinder the movement of the microphone 200, resulting in the microphone 200 being unable to be quickly lowered for storage. However, if the driving assembly 130 is arranged on one side of the supporting seat 120, this problem will not occur, which is conducive to the rapid storage of the microphone 200.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6In a possible implementation, the microphone storage assembly 100 further includes an elastic kit 180, which is connected to the fixing seat 110, and a limiting protrusion 181 is provided on the side of the elastic kit 180 away from the fixing seat 110. Exemplarily, the elastic kit 180 is installed in the storage tube, and the storage tube cooperates with the silicone sleeve inside to decelerate the microphone 200 and fix it in the left and right directions to prevent physical impact sounds during the falling process and left and right shaking after storage. It can be understood that the elastic kit 180 is made of elastic and deformable materials such as silicone. The limiting protrusion 181 can be set as a protrusion or a protrusion protruding from the main body of the elastic kit 180, or other shapes. The setting of the limiting protrusion 181 is conducive to further blocking the falling of the microphone 200, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the falling speed of the microphone 200. On the one hand, reducing the falling speed of the microphone 200 is conducive to reducing the impact sound between the microphone 200 and the supporting seat 120, thereby improving the user experience. On the other hand, reducing the falling speed of the microphone 200 is conducive to reducing the impact force of the microphone 200, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the structure of the microphone 200 and the storage component.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 7-Figure 23 , the smart speaker 300 also includes a speaker body 310 and the above-mentioned microphone storage assembly 100, and the microphone storage assembly 100 is installed in the speaker body 310. Exemplarily, it should be noted that the circuit of the speaker body 310 and the circuit of the microphone storage assembly 100 are independent of each other. The circuit of the speaker body 310 is composed of electronic components such as speakers, batteries, and screen 315. In other words, the circuit of the microphone storage assembly 100 can exist and operate independently. Even if the circuit of the speaker body 310 fails, the user can still take out the microphone 200 through the microphone storage assembly 100. A power button is set on the speaker body 310. After pressing the power button to turn on the speaker and the screen 315 is turned on, the microphone 200 can rise. After pressing the power button to turn off the speaker, the microphone 200 falls.

[0084] Speakers can be divided into three types according to their structure: open, semi-enclosed and enclosed. Semi-enclosed speakers can be divided into phase reflex, rear horn, empty paper cone, etc. Speakers can be divided into wired speakers and wireless speakers according to their connection methods. Wireless speakers can be connected in a variety of ways. Microphone 200 can be a condenser microphone 200, a dynamic microphone 200 or an aluminum ribbon microphone 200.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 7 and Fig.10In a possible implementation, the speaker body 310 includes a housing 311, the housing 311 includes a circumferential side plate 3111, a top plate 3112 and a bottom plate 3113, the top plate 3112 and the bottom plate 3113 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the circumferential side plate 3111, and the circumferential side plate 3111 is provided with diffusion grooves 3111A, and the area of ​​the circumferential side plate 3111 is S1, and the total area of ​​all the diffusion grooves 3111A on the circumferential side plate 3111 is S2, then the ratio of S2 / S1 is not less than 0.4. Exemplarily, the circumferential side plate 3111 is a hollow structure that is roughly in the shape of a square column, and the cross section is a rounded rectangular shape. The function of the diffusion groove 3111A is to diffuse the sound emitted by the speaker outward through the diffusion groove 3111A. The diffusion groove 3111A is in the shape of a vertical rectangular strip, and the diffusion groove 3111A is evenly spaced and arranged on the circumferential side plate 3111. The outer surface of the circumferential side plate 3111 is almost distributed with the diffusion groove 3111A, which is conducive to improving the ability of all-round diffusion of sound and achieving a 3D surround effect to improve the user's experience. By setting the diffusion groove 3111A, the sound diffusion effect of the speaker can be effectively improved, making the sound propagation more uniform and extensive. This helps to improve the overall sound quality of the speaker and provide users with a better auditory experience. Considering the ratio of the total area of ​​the diffusion groove 3111A to the expansion area of ​​the circumferential side plate 3111 during the design, it can ensure that the structure of the speaker is both compact and efficient. This design not only improves the space utilization rate, but also reduces the material cost while maintaining good acoustic performance. At the same time, it should be noted that the ratio of S2 / S1 should not be too small. If it is too small, the sound diffusion effect of the speaker will be poor. The ratio of S2 / S1 should not be too large. If it is too large, the structural strength of the shell 311 will be reduced. In specific applications, the ratio of S2 / S1 can be 0.5, or 0.6, or 0.7, without too many restrictions here. In addition, it should be noted that when the circumferential side panel 3111 is integrally formed, the circumference of the circumferential side panel 3111 can be measured by a flexible measuring component, and then the width (height) of the circumferential side panel 3111 can be measured. The area S1 of the circumferential side panel 3111 can be calculated by multiplying the circumference by the width (height). In this embodiment, the diffusion slots 3111A are evenly distributed. Of course, in a specific application, the diffusion slots 3111A can also be arranged to be unevenly distributed. In this case, the ratio of S2 / S1 within the coverage range of the orthographic projection of the high-frequency speaker 312, the low-frequency speaker 313 and the full-range speaker 314 is not less than 0.4.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9In one possible embodiment, the guide column 112 is mounted on the circumferential side plate 3111 or the bottom plate 3113. Exemplarily, in the first embodiment, the guide column 112 is mounted on the circumferential side plate 3111, and the bearing seat 120 is slidably mounted on the guide column 112. In addition, it should be noted that the guide column 112 is mounted on the upper half of the circumferential side plate 3111. This installation method allows a large space to exist between the microphone storage assembly 100 and the bottom plate 3113. After reserving these spaces, it is more conducive to waterproofing at the bottom, or placing a larger battery to increase the battery life of the smart speaker 300. In the second embodiment, the guide column 112 is mounted on the bottom plate 3113, and the bearing seat 120 is slidably mounted on the guide column 112. The advantage of this installation method is that it simplifies the installation structure and facilitates the installation of the microphone storage assembly 100.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In a possible embodiment, the shell 311 includes an inner shell 3114 and an outer shell 3115, the inner shell 3114 is nested in the outer shell 3115, the diffusion slot 3111A is arranged on the outer shell 3115, and the inner shell 3114 includes a front shell plate 3114A and a rear shell plate 3114B arranged on opposite sides. Exemplarily, the diffusion slot 3111A is arranged on the outer shell 3115. In this embodiment, the inner shell 3114 is obtained by integral molding. The inner shell 3114 prepared by such a processing method has a stable structure and uniform size, which is conducive to improving the quality of the product and extending the service life of the product. Of course, in a specific application, a part of the inner shell 3114 can also be manufactured by integral molding and then assembled. For example, the rear inner shell 3114 is prepared separately, and the rest of the inner shell 3114 is prepared by integral molding, and then assembled to obtain the inner shell 3114.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9In a possible implementation, the speaker body 310 further includes a high-frequency speaker 312, a low-frequency speaker 313, and a full-range speaker 314. The high-frequency speaker 312 and the low-frequency speaker 313 are mounted on the front shell plate 3114A, and the full-range speaker 314 is mounted on the rear shell plate 3114B. Exemplarily, the high-frequency speaker 312 and the low-frequency speaker 313 are mounted on the front shell plate 3114A of the inner shell 3114, and the full-range speaker 314 is mounted on the rear shell plate 3114B of the inner shell 3114. It can be understood that the inner shell 3114, the high-frequency speaker 312, the low-frequency speaker 313, the full-range speaker 314, and the microphone storage assembly 100 are all arranged in the outer shell 3115, and the outer shell 3115 plays a protective role. It can be understood that a dustproof net can be provided between the outer shell 3115 and the inner shell 3114, and the dustproof net separates the outer shell 3115 from the high-frequency speaker 312, the low-frequency speaker 313, and the full-range speaker 314 to prevent dust or other foreign matter from entering the interior of the smart speaker 300 through the diffusion groove 3111A, causing damage to components such as the high-frequency speaker 312, the low-frequency speaker 313, the full-range speaker 314, and the microphone storage assembly 100, thereby affecting the service life of the smart speaker 300.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.24 In a possible implementation, the speaker body 310 further includes a screen 315, a damping shaft and a sensor. The screen 315 is rotatably connected to the top plate 3112 via the damping shaft to close or open the storage slot 121. The sensor is used to obtain the position of the screen 315. During the process of rotating and closing, the screen 315 passes through the first section and the second section in sequence. Assuming that the angle between the screen 315 and the top plate 3112 is the position angle θ, the damping shaft is characterized as follows: when the screen 315 is located in the first section, the resistance of the damping shaft increases as the position angle θ decreases, and when the screen 315 is located in the second section, the resistance of the damping shaft decreases as the position angle θ decreases. Exemplarily, the screen 315 is rectangular as a whole and is used to display the information of the song being played or video information such as MV. When the screen 315 is in the storage state, one side of the display screen is arranged close to the storage slot 121. That is, in the storage state, the storage slot 121 and the inner side of the screen 315 are both inside the smart speaker 300, which can prevent the screen 315 from being scratched and protect the microphone 200 in the storage slot 121. The ultimate purpose of setting the sensor is to obtain the opening and closing degree of the screen 315, that is, the position angle θ of the screen 315, such as Fig.24As shown, the position angle θ is defined as the angle formed between the top surface of the speaker body 310 and the screen 315. It can be understood that the sensor can be a Hall element, a distance sensor or an angle sensor. The damping shaft can be a purely mechanical structure or an electric structure. In the process of closing the screen 315, the smaller the angle of the screen 315 in the first section, the greater the resistance of the damping shaft. After reaching the second section, the smaller the angle of the screen 315, the smaller the resistance of the damping shaft. This design can ensure that the screen 315 transitions smoothly during the closing process, avoiding the discomfort caused to the user by the sudden closing. The movement speed and strength of the screen 315 can be effectively controlled to avoid equipment damage caused by rapid or violent movement. This helps to extend the service life of the smart speaker 300. Reasonable damping design can avoid the risk of injury to the user caused by the sudden closing of the screen 315. Especially at night or in a dimly lit environment, slowly closing the screen 315 can reduce interference to the user and improve safety. In addition, the noise generated by the screen 315 during the closing process will also be reduced accordingly. This is particularly beneficial for occasions where a quiet environment needs to be maintained (such as bedrooms, libraries, etc.). It can be understood that the first section is configured when the screen 315 is far away from the top plate 3112, and the second section is configured when it is close to the top plate 3112 and is about to close.

[0090] like Fig.24 As shown, in other embodiments, the resistance of the damping shaft is inversely proportional to the distance H between the microphone 200 when it is not in the storage state. When the microphone 200 is not in the storage state, the smaller the distance H between the screen 315 and the top surface of the microphone 200, the greater the resistance, so as to prevent the screen 315 from colliding with the microphone 200. The state of not being in the storage state includes two situations. The first situation is that the microphone 200 is placed in the storage slot 121 and is in the access state. At this time, the microphone 200 is not moving. The second situation is that the microphone 200 is in the process of rising or falling. At this time, the microphone 200 is in a moving state. The distance H between the microphone 200 and the screen 315 in the first direction (vertical direction) is greater. The greater the distance between the microphone 200 and the opening 1211, the greater the risk of the screen 315 colliding with the microphone 200. On the contrary, the smaller the distance between the microphone 200 and the opening 1211, the smaller the risk of the screen 315 colliding with the microphone 200. In addition, when the microphone 200 is completely placed in the storage groove 121, that is, in the storage state, there is no risk of collision between the screen 315 and the microphone 200. At this time, the resistance of the damping shaft may no longer be restricted.

[0091] like Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , as an embodiment, the back side of the screen 315 (i.e., the back side of the display surface) is set to be a curved surface. Fig.11As shown, as another embodiment, the back side of the screen 315 (ie, the back side of the display surface) is set to be a plane.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In one possible implementation, a placement groove 316 for placing the screen 315 is formed on the speaker body 310, and a buffer member used in conjunction with the screen 315 is provided on the placement groove 316. When the screen 315 is in use, the screen 315 is rotated to disengage the placement groove 316, and when the screen 315 is in the storage state, the screen 315 is completely placed in the placement groove 316. And the thickness of the screen 315 gradually decreases from the rotating end to the opposite end of its rotating end. It can be understood that the placement groove 316 has an inclined surface adapted to the screen 315 so that when the screen 315 is located in the placement groove 316, the outer end surface of the screen 315 is basically in a horizontal state. The buffer member can play a buffering role when the screen 315 is closed, which is helpful to protect the screen 315 from damage. Fig.12 As shown, since the screen 315 of the present application uses a thin and light screen, the depth of the placement groove 316 is relatively shallow, and the bottom surface of the placement groove 316 is a plane, and the outer edge of the bottom surface extends with a curved transition, which is conducive to better adapting to the thin and light screen 315.

[0093] When the microphone 200 is connected to the speaker, howling will occur if it is too close to the speaker. The speaker will emit a harsh howling sound, which will greatly affect the user experience. Especially when the speaker stores the microphone 200, the collision and friction sounds between the microphone 200 and the speaker during the storage process are more likely to cause howling.

[0094] Based on this, the microphone 200 can be automatically turned off when it is close to the speaker, so as to prevent howling when the microphone 200 is close to the speaker or when the speaker accommodates the microphone 200.

[0095] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the microphone 200 from howling when it is close to the speaker or the speaker receives the microphone 200, the microphone 200 can be automatically turned off when it is close to the speaker. Specifically, a sensing element can be set on the microphone 200 and / or the speaker, and the sensing element can be used to sense the distance between the speaker and the microphone 200, and generate a corresponding sensing signal after the distance between the speaker and the microphone 200 is less than or equal to a preset distance, and send the sensing signal to the control device of the microphone 200, or send the sensing signal to the control device of the microphone 200 through the speaker, so that the control device controls the microphone 200 to turn off. More specifically, the sensing element can be one or more, which can be a Hall element, a distance sensor, an infrared sensor, and any other single electronic component that can sense the distance between the speaker and the microphone 200, and any combination of electronic components.

[0096] In some specific embodiments, the sensing element may be disposed at the opening 1211 of the storage slot 121. When the microphone 200 is inserted into the storage slot 121, the sensing element may generate a corresponding sensing signal to shut down the microphone 200 immediately after the microphone 200 is inserted. In addition, the sensing element may also be disposed at an end of the storage slot 121 away from the opening 1211. Similarly, when the microphone 200 is inserted near the sensing element, a corresponding sensing signal may be generated to shut down the microphone 200. This may also prevent the sensing element from being exposed to the outside due to the opening 1211 facing outward, which may cause the element to age.

[0097] In some more specific embodiments, the sensing element is a Hall element and a magnetic element, which are respectively arranged at corresponding positions of the speaker and the microphone 200. For example, a magnetic element is arranged at a corresponding position of the microphone 200 and a Hall element is arranged at a corresponding position of the speaker, or a Hall element is arranged at a corresponding position of the microphone 200 and a magnetic element is arranged at a corresponding position of the speaker. The triggering condition of the Hall element may be that the detected magnetic field strength reaches a preset value. When the detected magnetic field strength is greater than or equal to the preset value, it means that the distance between the speaker and the microphone 200 is sufficient to cause howling, and the microphone 200 needs to be turned off.

[0098] The third object of the present invention is to provide a control method of a smart speaker 300, which is used to control the smart speaker 300, and is characterized in that the method includes:

[0099] When the first preset condition is met, the microphone 200 rises to reach the first position 317 , otherwise it does not rise.

[0100] In a possible implementation, when the first preset condition is met, it includes: the smart speaker 300 is powered on and the screen 315 is turned on;

[0101] The position angle θ between the top surface of the smart speaker 300 and the screen 315 is detected, and the position angle θ is greater than or equal to a preset angle.

[0102] In a possible implementation manner, when the second preset condition is met, the microphone 200 descends from the second position 318 to the first position 317 .

[0103] In a possible implementation manner, the second preset condition includes:

[0104] The power of the speaker body 310 is turned off; or,

[0105] The position angle θ is smaller than the preset angle; or,

[0106] The smart speaker 300 receives the storage instruction from the microphone 200.

[0107] Exemplarily, the position angle θ of the screen 315 specifically includes: the lifting height of the microphone 200 follows the opening and closing angle of the screen 315. The larger the opening and closing angle of the screen 315, the higher the microphone 200 rises, and the smaller the opening and closing angle of the screen 315, the lower the microphone 200 rises. The user input instruction includes two ways. The first way is that the user selects the height of the microphone 200 rises on the screen 315. In this embodiment, the selectable range of the microphone 200 rises is between 20-40mm. The second way is to select the height according to the distance of the human hand. The farther the human hand is from the smart speaker 300, the higher the microphone 200 rises. In this embodiment, when the second way is adopted, the rising height of the microphone is controlled within the range of 0-25mm.

[0108] In a possible implementation, when the second preset condition is met, the microphone 200 descends at a first speed, and when the third preset condition is met, the microphone 200 descends at a second speed, and the second speed is greater than the first speed. Exemplarily, under the second preset condition, that is, under the normal state, the microphone 200 is first stored in place, and the screen 315 is then closed. Under the third storage condition, the microphone 200 has not yet started to be stored or has not yet been stored, and the screen 315 is closed. Under the third storage condition, in order to avoid the collision between the microphone 200 and the screen 315, it is necessary to increase the descending speed of the microphone 200, that is, to descend at the second speed. It can be understood that under normal storage, the microphone 200 and the screen 315 are both moving at a uniform speed. Similarly, when the microphone 200 and the screen 315 rise at the same time, under normal circumstances, the microphone 200 and the screen 315 are both moving at a uniform speed, and when the screen 315 is about to contact the microphone 200, in order to avoid the collision between the microphone 200 and the screen 315, it is necessary to increase the rising speed of the screen 315. In addition, by rapidly descending, the microphone 200 can be switched from the use state to the storage state in a short time, thereby improving the overall storage efficiency. This is particularly important for users who need to use the microphone 200 frequently. Rapid descent can reduce the waiting time of the user, making the entire operation process smoother and more efficient. When the distance between the top of the microphone 200 and the screen 315 in the vertical direction is less than the preset distance, it is determined that the third storage condition is met. Specifically, the preset distance can be set to 20 mm, or 15 mm, or 25 mm. Users or manufacturers can set it according to actual needs, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0109] In a possible implementation, when the fourth preset condition is met, the microphone 200 is determined not to be used, and the microphone 200 is then lowered from the second position 318 to the first position 317. Exemplarily, when the stagnation time of the microphone 200 in the storage slot 121 after it is lifted exceeds the preset retention time, the drive assembly 130 drives the microphone 200 to descend and complete the storage. After the microphone 200 is lifted, it is in a state of being taken. If the user has not taken it, when the time exceeds 30 seconds (i.e., the preset retention time), the microphone storage assembly 100 automatically starts and stores the microphone 200. Of course, in specific applications, the preset retention time can be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset retention time can also be set to 20 seconds, or 40 seconds, or 50 seconds, or 1 minute. The preset retention time can be set by the user himself or by the manufacturer.

[0110] In a possible implementation, when the fifth preset condition is met, the microphone 200 is determined to need to be raised again, and the microphone 200 rises from the second position 318 to the first position 317. When the smart speaker 300 has power, if the user accidentally touches or attempts to manually press the microphone 200 to store it, the user can take out the microphone 200 again. The methods of taking out the microphone 200 include: the first method, manually pressing the storage structure to lift the microphone 200 again; the second method, after the microphone 200 is stored, a pop-up window prompt appears on the screen 315, and the user can choose to lift the microphone 200 again; the third method, the driving component 130 is used to lift the microphone 200, and its triggering methods include the above-mentioned button pressing trigger, or knob trigger, or roller trigger, or voice command trigger, or touch operation trigger, or infrared sensing trigger.

[0111] In a possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0112] The storage methods of the microphone 200 include storage driven by the drive component 130 and storage driven by manual pressing; for example, under normal circumstances, the microphone storage component 100 is powered by the drive component 130 to drive the microphone 200 to rise or fall. In special circumstances, such as when the smart speaker 300 is out of power or the smart speaker 300 is not turned on, the user can use manual pressing to access the microphone 200. It can be understood that the drive motor 131 in the microphone storage component 100 will not self-lock when there is no power, and the motor output shaft can rotate passively. At this time, the drive motor 131 will not affect the rise and fall of the microphone 200. The motor can reverse when there is no power or strong pressure, and the user can manually store the microphone 200 at this time.

[0113] In one possible implementation, under normal circumstances, after the smart speaker 300 is turned on, the microphone 200 will rise while the screen 315 is turned on. However, under special conditions, for example, the user puts the microphone 200 back while using the smart speaker 300, and the screen 315 is turned on. At this time, the user wants to use the microphone 200 again, which is a secondary use. Because there is no restriction from the screen 315, there is no risk of the microphone 200 colliding with the screen 315 during the rising process. Therefore, the microphone 200 can rise quickly at this time to meet the user's urgent need to use the microphone 200.

[0114] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
