Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobiles, and particularly to a dashboard vertical center speaker, an assembly method and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Automobile speakers are important components of automobile interiors. A center speaker is often provided in the instrument panel area of the automobile cockpit to provide an important functional source for the overall vehicle environment atmosphere, audio-visual perception, etc. With the development of automobile intelligence, users have higher and higher requirements for the in-cabin audio-visual perception of automobiles. Conventional design schemes usually arrange a midrange speaker in the middle area of the instrument panel to create an internal sound field. Specifically, there are design schemes such as flat-laying type, floating type, and vertical type:

[0003] 1. The flat-laying type arranges the speaker in the middle area of the instrument panel in a nearly horizontal manner, with the speaker facing upward towards the vehicle. The audio emitted by the speaker rebounds through the front windshield towards the passenger area inside the vehicle; the upper part of the speaker is covered by a cover with sound-transmitting holes for shielding the internal structure and for appearance decoration;

[0004] 2. The floating type usually hides the support structure below the normal vision of passengers through creative styling and structural splitting, while the decorative cover presents a floating visual effect, enhancing the creativity and technological sense of the interior structure design;

[0005] 3. The vertical speaker is no longer arranged in a nearly horizontal manner, but instead flips the angle so that the speaker points towards the head area of the front-row passengers. Through part splitting and ingenious combination, a structural design is achieved in which the speaker is arranged obliquely, directly transmitting the audio emitted by the speaker to the ears of the front-row passengers, improving the audio transmission efficiency and sound quality, and providing a more direct sound quality experience for passengers.

[0006] In the above common speaker schemes, either the visual perception is not prominent or the sound perception is not prominent, and they cannot provide users with an audio-visual experience that takes into account both visual effects and high-quality audio. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a dashboard vertical center speaker, an assembly method and an automobile, which integrate a vertical high-frequency speaker, a flat-laying midrange speaker and an ambient light, not only meeting better visual perception, but also having both midrange and high-frequency speakers, and being able to form a better sound field and sound quality effect.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0009] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dashboard vertical center speaker, including a tweeter, a midrange speaker, and an ambient light. The tweeter adopts a vertical structure and is fixed to the upper side of the speaker cover body through a mounting panel. The ambient light is arranged at the junction of the mounting panel and the speaker cover body. The midrange speaker is a flat structure and is installed on the lower side of the speaker cover body, and the sound emitted by the midrange speaker faces the windshield.

[0010] As a further implementation, the speaker cover body is provided with an opening area corresponding to the midrange speaker, and the midrange speaker is hermetically connected to the speaker cover body.

[0011] As a further implementation, the mounting panel is connected to the cover through a snap-fit structure. The cover is provided with a BOSE column structure, and the BOSE column structure is fixed to the speaker cover body through a connecting member.

[0012] As a further implementation, the tweeter and the mounting panel cooperate through a snap-fit structure, and an inclined metal grille is provided inside the mounting panel.

[0013] As a further implementation, the ambient light includes an ambient light guiding structure and an ambient light head. The ambient light guiding structure is sleeved outside the mounting panel.

[0014] The ambient light head is connected to the ambient light guiding structure, and the ambient light head is located below the connection position of the mounting panel and the speaker cover body.

[0015] As a further implementation, the ambient light guiding structure is inclined, with its upper side located at the connection position of the tweeter and the mounting panel, and its lower side located at the connection position of the mounting panel and the speaker cover body.

[0016] As a further implementation, the midrange speaker forms a press-fit with the speaker cover body through a sponge structure.

[0017] As a further implementation, the tweeter is arranged in front of the midrange speaker.

[0018] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention also provides an assembly method for a dashboard vertical center speaker. Assemble the metal mesh cover and the mounting panel together, and sleeve the ambient light guiding structure outside the mounting panel. Assemble the tweeter and the mounting panel together to form a first assembly. Assemble the first assembly and the cover into a second assembly.

[0019] Assemble the second assembly to the speaker cover body through the connecting member and the BOSE column structure of the cover, and then connect the ambient light head to the ambient light guiding structure.

[0020] After that, the midrange speaker is hermetically connected to the speaker cover body.

[0021] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an automobile equipped with the dashboard vertical center speaker described above.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] (1) The present invention integrates a midrange speaker, a tweeter, and an ambient light.

[0031] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] This embodiment provides a dashboard vertical center speaker, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, integrated with a midrange speaker 7, a tweeter 8 and an ambient light. Through the reasonable layout of the three, a better sound field and sound quality effect can be created, and at the same time, a better visual perception can be achieved.

[0034] Specifically, the dashboard vertical center speaker includes a speaker cover body 1. The tweeter 8 is installed on the upper side of the speaker cover body 1, and the midrange speaker 7 is installed on the lower side of the speaker cover body 1; and the midrange speaker 7 adopts a flat structure, and the tweeter 8 adopts a vertical structure. According to the installation state, the midrange speaker 7 is arranged in the rear area, and the tweeter 8 is arranged in the front area.

[0035] Since the midrange speaker 7 is laid flat at the rear end close to the front passenger position and is arranged close to the horizontal, the sound is directed towards the windshield, and the midrange audio is reflected by the windshield and transmitted to the human ear; the tweeter 8 is arranged in front of the midrange speaker 7, and the inclination angle makes it face the front row human ear position, so that the high-frequency sound waves can be directly transmitted to the front row human ear, improving the audio transmission efficiency of the tweeter 8 to achieve a more excellent audio experience.

[0036] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the tweeter 8 is installed on the speaker cover body 1 at a certain angle, and its installation angle meets the requirement of facing the ears of a 95% dummy. After the audio is scattered by the metal mesh cover 4, it diverges in a conical shape and can be transmitted to the ear positions of people of different heights. The tweeter 8 is installed in the cover 3 through the mounting panel 2, and the tweeter 8 and the mounting panel 2 are matched through the first clamping structure 81. The metal mesh cover 4 is installed inside the mounting panel 2, and the metal mesh cover 4 corresponds to the sound-emitting area of the tweeter 8.

[0037] The metal mesh cover 4 is provided with a sound-permeable hole area 42, and the circumferential edge has a reserved edge structure 41. The upper edge of the reserved edge structure 41 is matched with the step structure formed at the connection position between the mounting panel 2 and the top of the tweeter 8, and the lower edge is matched with the step structure at the connection position between the mounting panel 2 and the speaker cover body 1, so that the metal mesh cover 4 is inclinedly installed.

[0038] Inside the cover 3, there is a BOSE column structure 31, and the connection with the speaker cover body 1 is realized through the BOSE column structure 31 and the self-tapping screw 9; the BOSE column structure 31 is arranged vertically, and the speaker cover body 1 is provided with a groove structure adapted to the BOSE column structure 31. After the BOSE column structure 31 is inserted into the groove structure, the two are connected through the self-tapping screw 9.

[0039] At the same time, the mounting panel 2 of the tweeter 8 is matched with the cover 3 through the second clamping structure 21. The mounting panel 2 is of a flared structure, and the edge of the mounting panel 2 forms a step structure. Through the cooperation of the step structure and the speaker cover body 1, the two can be stably clamped. Coupled with the connection structure of the BOSE column structure 31 and the self-tapping screw 9 and the second clamping structure 21, the firm installation of the tweeter 8 is realized.

[0040] The tweeter 8 in this embodiment is arranged vertically, and the tweeter 8 faces the ears of the front row passengers. The audio emitted by the tweeter 8 can be directly transmitted to the ears of the front row passengers through the sound-permeable hole area 42 on the metal mesh cover 4 without sound wave refraction / reflection in the middle, improving the transmission efficiency of the high-frequency audio; at the same time, the sound-permeable hole area 42 can also be designed with special shapes, such as snowflake shapes, petal shapes, rippling mesh grilles and other shapes, to induce the conical emission of the high-frequency audio, so that the high-frequency audio can more effectively point to the ears of the front row drivers and passengers, thereby forming a high-frequency audio scattering effect, that is, the concept of a high-frequency scatterer.

[0041] As Figure 3 shown, an ambient light guiding structure 5 is installed at the connection position between the mounting panel 2 and the tweeter 8, and an ambient light lamp head 6 is installed at the connection position between the lower side of the mounting panel 2 and the speaker cover body 1. The ambient light lamp head 6 is matched with the ambient light guiding structure 5 through the third clamping structure 61, so that the ambient light lamp head 6 is located below the speaker cover body 1.

[0042] It should be noted that the first clamping structure 81, the second clamping structure 21 and the third clamping structure 61 in this embodiment are distinguished for the convenience of description, and do not limit the specific structure of the clamping structure. As long as the clamping structure meets the requirements of plug-in fit, for example, it can be realized by the cooperation of protrusions and grooves.

[0043] In this embodiment, the ambient light lamp head 6 adopts a 256-color RGB lamp head. By integrating with the vehicle functions, it can realize in-vehicle ambient linkage functions such as incoming call reminder, warning reminder, and audio color follow-up.

[0044] As Figure 3 shown, the midrange speaker 7 forms a press-fit with the rib plate at the bottom of the speaker cover body 1 through the sponge structure 71, sealing the midrange speaker 7 in the inner area of the speaker cover body 1 to prevent internal audio interference and sound leakage. In addition to the sealing function, the sponge structure 71 also prevents abnormal noise generated by the structure when vibrating and colliding. Therefore, the sponge can also be replaced by other structures with the same function; the speaker cover body 1 is provided with an opening area 11 corresponding to the installation position of the midrange speaker 7. The sealed connection method between the midrange speaker 7 and the speaker cover body 1 enables all the audio of the midrange speaker 7 to pass through the opening area 11.

[0045] The assembly method of the dashboard vertical center speaker in this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] The metal mesh cover 4 is assembled with the installation panel 2 through the reserved edge structure 41. The ambient light guide structure 5 is assembled to the outside of the installation panel 2 in a socketing form. The tweeter 8 is assembled with the installation panel 2 through the first clamping structure 81 to form a first assembly; then the first assembly is assembled with the cover 3 through the second clamping structure 21 to form a new assembly (the second assembly). Then the second assembly is assembled with the speaker cover body 1 through the self-tapping screw 9 and the BOSE column structure 31 of the cover 3; after completion, the ambient light lamp head 6 is assembled with the ambient light guide structure 5 through socketing and the third clamping structure 61 to form an assembly; then the assembly body is hermetically connected with the midrange speaker 7.

[0047] Normally, the midrange speaker is first installed on the dashboard body structure, while in this embodiment, it is pre-assembled into an assembly and then assembled on the dashboard assembly, making the structure more compact.

[0048] In this embodiment, through the vertical tweeter 8, the flat midrange speaker 7 and the ambient light integration, the audio can be transmitted to the front row head area more directly and effectively, improving the audio texture; and at the same time forming a better visual perception.

[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] This embodiment provides an automobile equipped with the dashboard vertical center speaker described in Embodiment 1. Among them, the midrange speaker 7 is arranged close to the front passenger position, and the tweeter 8 is arranged on the front side of the midrange speaker 7.
