Description

[0002] In order to facilitate storage, some speakers have storage slots to store microphones. In order to save internal space, some speakers have storage slots that are set as vertical storage slots, that is, the microphone can be inserted vertically into the speaker storage slot. Although this setting can save internal space, when the microphone is vertically inserted into the speaker storage slot, since most or all of the microphone is stored in the vertical storage slot, the microphone's accessible range is very small when the user uses it, which greatly affects the user experience.

When the user takes out the microphone stored in the vertical storage slot, the lifting structure in the speaker can lift the microphone, and the user can easily take out the microphone. Although this method can conveniently take out the microphone, the lifting structure will occupy more space inside the speaker, thus affecting the spatial layout of the speaker and causing the speaker to be larger in size. Summary of the invention

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed on" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or indirectly set on the other component; when a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected to the other component.

[0039] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0040] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present application, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text is to include three parallel schemes, taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0041] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the conditions under which this application can be implemented. Therefore, they have no substantive technical significance. Any structural modification, change in proportional relationship or adjustment of size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by this application.

[0042] In order to facilitate storage, some speakers have storage slots to store microphones. In order to save internal space, some speakers have storage slots that are set as vertical storage slots, that is, the microphone can be inserted vertically into the speaker storage slot. Although this setting can save internal space, when the microphone is vertically inserted into the speaker storage slot, since most or all of the microphone is stored in the vertical storage slot, the microphone's accessible range is very small when the user uses it, which greatly affects the user experience.

[0043] In order to solve this problem, in the related art, some speakers are provided with a lifting structure. When the user takes out the microphone stored in the vertical storage slot, the lifting structure in the speaker can lift the microphone, and the user can easily take out the microphone. Although this method can conveniently take out the microphone, the lifting structure will occupy more space inside the speaker, thus affecting the spatial layout of the speaker and causing the speaker to be larger in size.

[0044] In view of this, the present application proposes an intelligent microphone and a control method thereof. By setting a microphone body 11, a sensing module 13, a controller 14, and a lifting module 12, the microphone can be automatically lifted and lowered, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, the lifting module 12 is set inside the microphone. The automatic lifting of the microphone can be achieved by simply increasing the length of the microphone a little, without the need to set the lifting module 12 inside the speaker 2. The volume of the microphone increased by setting the lifting structure inside the microphone is much smaller than the volume increased by setting the lifting structure inside the speaker 2. Therefore, it can avoid occupying more space inside the speaker 2, thereby reducing the volume of the speaker 2, and will not affect the spatial layout of the speaker 2.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 The figure shows the smart microphone 1 provided by the present application. Specifically, the smart microphone 1 may include a microphone body 11 , a sensing module 13 , a controller 14 and a lifting module 12 .

[0046] The microphone body 11 includes an outer shell 111 and a bottom shell 112 . The bottom of the outer shell 111 is slidably connected to the front end of the bottom shell 112 . An installation cavity 113 is formed between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112 .

[0047] The sensing module 13 is disposed on the microphone body 11 and is used to detect a contact signal.

[0048] The controller 14 is disposed in the microphone body 11 and is electrically connected to the sensing module 13 , and is used to control the lifting module 12 to work when receiving a contact signal.

[0049] The lifting module 12 is disposed in the installation cavity 113 and is electrically connected to the controller 14 , and is used to drive the outer shell 111 to move relative to the bottom shell 112 , so as to achieve the approach or separation between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112 .

[0050] Specifically, the housing 111 is the outer protective shell of the microphone, which is used to wrap and protect the internal electronic components. The bottom of the housing 111 is designed with a sliding connection structure, which can be slidably matched with the bottom shell 112. The bottom shell 112 is the bottom structure of the microphone body 11, and forms an installation cavity 113 with the housing 111. And the front end of the bottom shell 112 is designed with a structure that is slidably connected to the housing 111, allowing the housing 111 and the bottom shell 112 to slide relative to each other. The installation cavity 113 is a space surrounded by the housing 111 and the bottom shell 112, and is used to install the lifting module 12.

[0051] The sensing module 13 is disposed on or inside the housing 111 of the microphone body 11 to detect contact signals. Specifically, it can be disposed under the microphone mesh cover 114 at the top of the microphone body 11. When a user touches or approaches the microphone, the sensing module 13 can collect the corresponding contact signal.

[0052] The controller 14 is the core control unit of the microphone body 11, which is arranged inside the microphone body 11 and is electrically connected to the sensing module 13 and the lifting module 12. When the sensing module 13 detects a contact signal, it transmits the signal to the controller 14. In one usage scenario, the controller 14 can determine whether it is necessary to control the lifting module 12 to work based on the received signal through an internal program. Specifically, when the controller 14 receives a contact signal, it can generate a lifting instruction through an internal program to control the lifting module 12 to work so that the microphone body 11 rises upward relative to the bottom shell 112, so that the smart microphone 1 is in a raised state (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, at this time, a part of the microphone body 11 will protrude from the vertically arranged speaker storage slot, and the user can easily take out the smart microphone 1. Of course, in another usage scenario, the controller 14 can also generate a retracting instruction according to other signals, control the lifting module 12 to work so that the bottom shell 112 moves from being away from the microphone body 11 to being close to the microphone body 11, so that the smart microphone 1 is in a retracted state (as shown in the figure). Figure 3 As shown), that is, it returns to normal use status to avoid affecting the user experience.

[0053] The lifting module 12 is a key component that drives the outer shell 111 to move relative to the bottom shell 112, and is arranged in the installation cavity 113. The lifting module 12 is electrically connected to the controller 14, and is used to receive instructions from the controller 14 to work. When the controller 14 issues a lifting command, the lifting module 12 can drive the outer shell 111 to slide relative to the bottom shell 112. Since the bottom shell 112 abuts against the bottom of the speaker storage slot, when the lifting module 12 can drive the outer shell 111 to slide relative to the bottom shell 112, the bottom shell 112 will not move. At this time, the outer shell 111 will move relative to the bottom shell 112 in the extension direction of the microphone body 11, thereby realizing the separation between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112. At this time, a part of the microphone body 11 will protrude from the vertically arranged speaker storage slot, and the user can easily take out the smart microphone 1. On the contrary, when the controller 14 issues a folding command, the lifting module 12 can drive the bottom shell 112 to slide relative to the outer shell 111, so that the bottom shell 112 moves from being away from the microphone body 11 to being close to the microphone body 11, so that the smart microphone 1 is in a folded state to avoid affecting the user experience.

[0054] The smart microphone 1 provided by the technical solution of the present application can realize automatic lifting of the smart microphone 1 by setting a microphone body 11, a sensing module 13, a controller 14, and a lifting module 12, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, the lifting module 12 is set inside the microphone body 11, and automatic lifting can be achieved by simply increasing the length of the microphone body 11, without the need to set the lifting module 12 inside the speaker 2. The volume increased by setting the lifting module 12 inside the microphone body 11 is much smaller than the volume increased by setting the lifting module 12 inside the speaker 2, so it can avoid occupying more space inside the speaker 2, thereby reducing the volume of the speaker 2, and will not affect the spatial layout of the speaker 2.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the lifting module 12 includes a driving motor 121, a transmission gear 122 and a transmission bar 123. The driving motor 121 is fixed on the bottom shell 112, the transmission gear 122 is fixed on the rotating shaft of the driving motor 121, the transmission bar 123 is fixed on the outer shell 111, and the transmission bar 123 is meshed with the transmission gear 122 for transmission. The driving motor 121 is used to drive the transmission bar 123 to move up and down through the transmission gear 122 to achieve the approach or separation between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the drive motor 121 is the power source of the lifting module 12, which is used to provide the necessary torque to drive other components to move. The drive motor 121 can be fixed on the bottom shell 112 to ensure that the motor will not move due to external force during operation, and it is also convenient for the connection between the motor and the power supply and control system. The transmission gear 122 is fixed on the rotating shaft of the drive motor 121. When the drive motor 121 rotates, the transmission gear 122 will also rotate. The function of the transmission gear 122 is to convert the rotational motion of the drive motor 121 into a specific transmission ratio to meet the movement requirements of the transmission bar 123. The transmission bar 123 is a key component connecting the housing 111 and the transmission gear 122. It is fixed on the housing 111, arranged along the extension direction of the microphone body 11, and meshed with the transmission gear 122. When the transmission gear 122 rotates, the transmission gear 122 will push the transmission bar 123 up and down through the meshing relationship, thereby driving the housing 111 to move up and down.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application uses a motor drive and a transmission mechanism of gears and transmission bars 123 to allow the housing 111 of the smart microphone 1 to be easily moved up and down, thereby adjusting the position or shape of the microphone according to the needs of the user. And because the drive motor 121 is fixed to the bottom shell 112 and the transmission mechanism is reasonably designed, the entire lifting process has high stability, reducing the noise and vibration caused by movement. In addition, the design of this lifting module 12 is relatively simple and universal, and can be applied to different types of smart microphone 1 products. It only needs to adjust the transmission ratio and the length of the transmission bar 123 according to specific needs.

[0058] In some other optional implementations, the driving motor 121 is fixed on the outer shell 111 , and the transmission bar 123 is fixed on the bottom shell 112 .

[0059] The embodiment of the present application can also realize the approach or separation between the housing 111 and the bottom housing 112 under the drive of the lifting module 12, but the implementation principles of the two settings are different. In the aforementioned setting, when the smart microphone 1 is lifted, the drive motor 121, the transmission gear 122 and the bottom housing 112 are stationary, driving the transmission bar 123 to move upward and thus driving the smart microphone 1 to rise. In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission bar 123 and the bottom housing 112 are stationary, driving the drive motor 121 and the transmission gear 122 to move upward relative to each other and thus driving the smart microphone 1 to rise.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, a first convex edge 1121 is provided at one end of the bottom shell 112 close to the outer shell 111 , and a second convex edge 1111 is provided at one end of the outer shell 111 close to the bottom shell 112 .

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the first flange 1121 is a raised structure arranged at one end of the bottom shell 112 close to the outer shell 111. It can be annular, strip-shaped or other shapes. The main function of the first flange 1121 is to provide positioning, limiting, supporting or sealing functions between the outer shell 111. The second flange 1111 corresponds to the first flange 1121, and the second flange 1111 is a raised structure arranged at one end of the outer shell 111 close to the bottom shell 112. Its shape, size and position should match the first flange 1121 to ensure that the two can achieve functions such as relative sliding, snap-fitting or sealing. In some specific embodiments, a sealing material (such as a rubber pad, a silicone ring, etc.) is also provided between the first flange 1121 and the second flange 1111 to improve the waterproof, dustproof or soundproof performance of the microphone.

[0062] In some optional implementations, the sensing module 13 includes a pressure sensor 131 and a temperature sensor 132 , the microphone body 11 includes a microphone mesh cover 114 , and the pressure sensor 131 and the temperature sensor 132 are disposed under the microphone mesh cover 114 .

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the pressure sensor 131 is used to detect the pressure change on itself. The temperature sensor 132 can be used to detect whether the user triggers the pressure sensor 131. The microphone mesh cover 114 is located at the front end of the microphone body 11 and is the part that the user directly contacts. It not only protects the microphone element, but also prevents dust and foreign objects from entering. The sensing module 13 (including the pressure sensor 131 and the temperature sensor 132) is arranged under the microphone mesh cover 114 to better sense the changes in the external environment. The sensor can be connected to the controller 14 in the microphone body 11 via a wire or wirelessly (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.).

[0064] It is understandable that when the smart microphone 1 is stored in the vertical storage slot in the speaker 2, the user can press the head of the smart microphone 1. At this time, the pressure sensor 131 set under the microphone mesh cover 114 can sense the pressure applied by the user and send a related signal to the controller 14. However, in some scenarios, other objects may accidentally touch the head of the smart microphone 1. At this time, the pressure sensor 131 can still sense the pressure and send a related signal to the controller 14, which may cause the controller 14 to mistakenly determine that the user has pressed the head of the smart microphone 1, thereby controlling the lifting module 12 to work and make the smart microphone 1 extend out of the storage slot, which is likely to cause a bad user experience for the user. Or in cases such as Figure 5 In the speaker with screen 2 shown, when the smart microphone 1 is stored in the storage slot of the speaker with screen 2, and the screen of the speaker 2 is stored up and covers the top of the smart microphone 1, if an external force presses the screen at this time, the screen may transmit the pressure to the smart microphone 1. At this time, the pressure sensor 131 may sense the pressure and send a related signal to the controller 14. The controller will control the lifting module 12 to make the smart microphone 1 extend out of the storage slot. At this time, the smart microphone will come into contact with the screen of the speaker 2, and may even continue to squeeze the screen to cause damage to the screen.

[0065] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application also simultaneously sets up a temperature sensor 132, and the controller 14 can also be configured: only when the pressure signal collected by the pressure sensor 131 and the temperature signal collected by the temperature sensor 132 are received at the same time, and the temperature signal is within the preset range (the normal temperature range of human fingers), the lifting module 12 is controlled to work, which can effectively prevent other objects from mistakenly triggering the pressure sensor 131 and causing the smart microphone 1 to extend out of the storage slot, thereby improving the user experience and avoiding damage to the screen or other components of the speaker 2.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, a magnetic component is disposed in the microphone body 11 , and the magnetic component is used to adsorb to an external magnetic component to fix the smart microphone 1 when the smart microphone 1 is in the storage position.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the magnetic part is a material that can generate a magnetic field, and can be a magnet or ferrite, etc. The external magnetic part is a component that matches the magnetic part of the smart microphone 1, and can be set in the storage slot of the speaker 2 at a position corresponding to the storage position of the smart microphone 1, so as to be adsorbed with the magnetic part in the microphone body 11, thereby fixing the smart microphone 1. Specifically, the magnetic part set in the microphone body 11 can be a material that can be adsorbed by a magnet, such as a magnet or iron, and the external magnetic part set in the storage slot of the speaker 2 can also be a material that can be adsorbed by a magnet, such as a magnet or iron, but it is necessary to ensure that the two will be adsorbed to each other. For example, the magnetic part set in the microphone body 11 can be a magnet, and the external magnetic part set in the storage slot of the speaker 2 can be an iron block. The smart microphone 1 is in the storage position means that the smart microphone 1 is completely received in the storage slot of the speaker 2, that is, the outer shell 111 is in contact with the bottom shell 112.

[0068] In some optional embodiments, the magnetic attraction component is disposed on the bottom shell 112 , and the smart microphone 1 also includes a first charging module 15 , the first charging module 15 includes a power supply and a metal disk, the power supply is electrically connected to the metal disk, and the metal disk is fixed to the outer side of the bottom of the bottom shell 112 .

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, a magnetic member may be provided on the bottom shell 112 so that the external magnetic member provided at the bottom of the storage slot can be adsorbed to fix the smart microphone 1. The first charging module 15 is a component used for charging in the smart microphone 1, and includes a power supply and a metal disk. The power supply is a component that provides electrical energy to the charging module, and may be a battery. The metal disk is a conductive component that is fixed to the outside of the bottom of the bottom shell 112, and is used to establish an electrical connection with a charging interface (e.g., a charging contact pin) provided at the bottom of the storage slot in the speaker 2, so as to transfer electrical energy to the battery.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application can achieve a more convenient charging method and a more stable storage and fixation by arranging a magnetic attraction member and a first charging module 15 on the bottom shell 112, thereby improving the user experience.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the magnetic attraction component is disposed on the housing 111 , and the smart microphone 1 also includes a second charging module, which includes a power supply and a charging ring, which is electrically connected to the power supply and is disposed on the outside of the microphone body 11 .

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the magnetic attraction member may be disposed on the housing 111, and may be directly fixed at a certain position of the housing 111, so as to interact with an external magnetic member at the storage position of the microphone. The second charging module is a component used for charging in the smart microphone 1, and includes a power supply and a charging ring. The power supply is a component that provides electrical energy to the charging module, and may be a battery. The charging ring is a ring-shaped or ring-like conductive component that is electrically connected to the power supply and is used to establish an electrical connection with a charging interface (e.g., a charging contact pin) disposed at a corresponding position of the storage slot in the speaker 2 (e.g., the middle of the storage slot) so as to transfer electrical energy to the battery.

[0073] It is understandable that in addition to the above-mentioned charging module, other types of charging modules may be provided on the smart microphone 1, such as a coil-type charging structure, etc., and the implementation manner of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the speaker 2 is provided with a smart microphone 1 storage structure for storing the smart microphone 1. The storage structure can be a cavity for accommodating the smart microphone 1. The depth of the cavity is greater than or equal to the length of the smart microphone 1. The cavity includes an opening. Through the opening, the smart microphone 1 can be inserted vertically or horizontally into the cavity along the length direction to achieve insertion storage. A smart microphone 1 fixing structure can be set inside or outside the opening to fix the smart microphone 1 after storage. The opening can be set at any position of the speaker 2, including the top surface, side surface, and bottom surface of the speaker 2. In addition, the storage structure can also be a groove, and the smart microphone 1 can be embedded in the groove to achieve insertion storage. A smart microphone 1 fixing structure can be set inside or outside the groove to fix the smart microphone 1 after storage. The smart microphone 1 is placed vertically or horizontally into the groove along the vertical direction of the length to achieve storage. The groove can be set at any position of the speaker 2, including the top surface, side surface, and bottom surface of the speaker 2.

[0075] In some embodiments, the speaker 2 may be provided with a screen, and may also be provided with an active structure and a screen storage slot, and the screen may be closed through the active structure so that the screen is stored in the screen storage slot. The storage structure of the smart microphone 1 may be provided under the screen, and when the screen is closed, the smart microphone 1 is completely covered by the screen and completely stored in the speaker 2.

[0076] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the smart microphone 1 from howling when it is close to the speaker 2 or when the speaker 2 receives the smart microphone 1, the smart microphone 1 can be automatically shut down when it is close to the speaker 2. Specifically, a sensing element can be set on the smart microphone 1 and / or the speaker 2, and the sensing element can be used to sense the distance between the speaker 2 and the smart microphone 1, and generate a corresponding sensing signal after the distance between the speaker 2 and the smart microphone 1 is less than or equal to a preset distance, and send the sensing signal to the control device of the smart microphone 1, or send the sensing signal to the control device of the smart microphone 1 through the speaker 2, so that the control device controls the smart microphone 1 to shut down. 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 2 and the smart microphone 1, and any combination of electronic components.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, when the storage structure of the smart microphone 1 is a cavity, the sensing element can be set at the opening of the cavity. When the smart microphone 1 is inserted into the cavity, the sensing element can generate a corresponding sensing signal to shut down the smart microphone 1 within the first time after the smart microphone 1 is inserted. In addition, the sensing element can also be set at the end of the cavity away from the opening. Similarly, when the smart microphone 1 is inserted near the sensing element, a corresponding sensing signal can be generated to shut down the smart microphone 1. It can also prevent the sensing element from being exposed to the outside due to the opening facing outward, which may cause the element to age. In addition, when the storage structure of the smart microphone 1 is a groove, the sensing element can be set at one end, the middle, or both ends of the groove.

[0078] 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 2 and the smart microphone 1. For example, a magnetic element is arranged at a corresponding position of the smart microphone 1 and a Hall element is arranged at a corresponding position of the speaker 2, or a Hall element is arranged at a corresponding position of the smart microphone 1 and a magnetic element is arranged at a corresponding position of the speaker 2. 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 2 and the smart microphone 1 meets the requirement of causing howling, and the smart microphone 1 needs to be turned off.

[0079] In some preferred embodiments, a magnetic part is provided at a corresponding position of the smart microphone 1 and a Hall element is provided at a corresponding position of the speaker 2. Since the user will carry the smart microphone 1 with him / her when singing karaoke, and may move to other places with a large magnetic field strength, if the Hall element is provided on the smart microphone 1, the smart microphone 1 may be shut down by mistake, thus affecting the experience. When the storage structure of the smart microphone 1 is a cavity, that is, the smart microphone 1 is inserted into the storage, the Hall element can be provided at the opening of the cavity of the speaker 2 or at one end away from the opening; when the storage structure of the smart microphone 1 is a groove, that is, the smart microphone 1 is inserted into the storage, the Hall element can be provided at one end, the middle, or both ends of the groove.

[0080] In other more specific embodiments, the sensing element is a Hall element and a charging element, and the charging element includes a charging structure and a first charging module 15. The charging structure is correspondingly provided for the speaker 2, and the first charging module 15 is correspondingly provided for the smart microphone 1. It should be understood that there will be a change in the magnetic field at the moment when the charging structure abuts against the first charging module 15. Based on this, the trigger condition of the Hall element can be set to detect a change in the magnetic field. When the Hall element detects a change in the magnetic field, it means that the charging structure of the speaker 2 abuts against the first charging module 15 of the smart microphone 1. At this time, the distance between the speaker 2 and the smart microphone 1 is sufficient to cause howling, and the smart microphone 1 needs to be shut down.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the implementation process of an intelligent connection method for audio devices provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method can be applied to Figures 1 to 5 The smart microphone 1 is shown.

[0082] Specifically, the above-mentioned intelligent connection method of audio devices may include steps S601 to S603.

[0083] Step S601, when receiving the pressure signal and the temperature signal sent by the sensing module 13, it is determined whether the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within a preset temperature range.

[0084] The sensing module 13 may be disposed under the microphone mesh cover 114, and may specifically include a pressure sensor 131 and a temperature sensor 132. The pressure sensor 131 is used to collect pressure signals, and the temperature sensor 132 is used to collect temperature signals.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, a signal receiving unit is provided inside the smart microphone 1. The smart microphone 1 can receive the pressure signal and temperature signal sent by the sensing module 13 in a wired or wireless manner through the signal receiving unit, thereby obtaining the pressure and temperature information of the current environment and providing a basis for subsequent judgment.

[0086] Step S602: When it is determined that the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within a preset temperature range, a first control instruction is generated.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the pressure signal, the smart microphone 1 can further compare the temperature corresponding to the received temperature signal with the preset temperature range, so as to determine whether the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within the preset temperature range. When it is determined that the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within the preset temperature range, it can be considered that the user has triggered the pressure sensor 131 and the temperature sensor 132 at the same time. At this time, the smart microphone 1 can generate a first control instruction according to the preset logic to adjust the distance between the housing 111 and the bottom housing 112.

[0088] Step S603 , sending the first control instruction to the lifting module 12 , controlling the lifting module 12 to drive the outer shell 111 to move relative to the bottom shell 112 , so as to achieve the approach or separation between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112 .

[0089] Among them, in the implementation mode of the present application, the smart microphone 1 can transmit the first control instruction to the lifting module 12 through the internal communication bus or wirelessly to instruct the lifting module 12 to drive the shell 111 to rise or fall through the motor, transmission mechanism, etc., thereby realizing automatic lifting of the microphone and improving the user experience.

[0090] In some optional implementations, when it is determined that the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within a preset temperature range, generating a first control instruction may specifically include step S701 and step S702.

[0091] Step S701: When it is determined that the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within a preset temperature range, it is determined whether a charging signal is received.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within the preset temperature range, the smart microphone 1 can further determine whether a charging signal is received. Specifically, it can determine whether a charging signal is input by detecting the state of the charging interface or reading the output signal of the charging detection circuit.

[0093] Step S702: When it is determined that a charging signal is received, a first control instruction is generated.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that a charging signal is received, the controller 14 may generate a first control instruction. Conversely, when it is determined that a charging signal is not received, the controller 14 does not generate a first control instruction.

[0095] In some usage scenarios, after the user takes out the smart microphone 1 from the speaker storage slot and starts using it, the user may place a finger on the head of the smart microphone 1 during use. At this time, the controller 14 may receive a pressure signal and a temperature signal, and the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is also within the preset temperature range. In the aforementioned embodiment, the controller 14 will generate a first control instruction to control the lifting module 12 to drive the separation between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112, which may bring a bad user experience. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application determines that the temperature corresponding to the temperature signal is within the preset temperature range, and then further determines whether a charging signal is received. Only when it is determined that a charging signal is received, the first control instruction is generated, which can effectively avoid the above problems and improve the user experience.

[0096] When the lifting module 12 works to drive the outer shell 111 to move relative to the bottom shell 112, the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112 are separated, that is, when the smart microphone 1 extends out of the speaker storage slot, the user can easily take out the smart microphone 1. After the user takes out the smart microphone 1, the smart microphone 1 is still in a raised state. At this time, the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112 are separated. When the user holds the position between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112, the position is not a plane, so it will affect the user's grip. Based on this, in some optional embodiments, after sending the first control instruction to the lifting module 12, controlling the lifting module 12 to work to drive the outer shell 111 to move relative to the bottom shell 112, and achieving the approach or separation between the outer shell 111 and the bottom shell 112, the above method can also include steps S801 and S802.

[0097] Step S801, when no charging signal is received within a preset time, a second control instruction is generated.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the smart microphone 1 receives the charging signal in real time. It is understandable that when the charging module of the smart microphone 1 is electrically connected to the charging module of the speaker storage slot, that is, when the user does not take out the smart microphone 1, the controller 14 can receive the charging signal. When the user takes out the smart microphone 1, the controller 14 cannot receive the charging signal. Therefore, when the charging signal is not received within the preset time, the smart microphone 1 can generate a second control instruction.

[0099] Step S802 , sending a second control instruction to the lifting module 12 , controlling the lifting module 12 to work so as to drive the bottom shell 112 to approach the outer shell 111 .

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, the smart microphone 1 can send a second control instruction to the lifting module 12 to control the lifting module 12 to drive the bottom shell 112 to be close to the outer shell 111. At this time, the bottom shell 112 will fit with the outer shell 111, and there is no obvious gap between the two. Even if the user holds the fitting point of the two, there will be no foreign body sensation, which can improve the user experience.

[0101] The above are only optional embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
