[0031] In this embodiment, since the supporting component is movably connected within the receiving cavity of the speaker body, and the receiving cavity has an opening, when the supporting component is housed within the receiving cavity, the speaker body's external structure is simplified, facilitating assembly with a vehicle. This allows switching to vehicle mode and enabling installation as a vehicle speaker.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of this application may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. Furthermore, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0050] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0051] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] A speaker is a device that converts audio signals into sound. Vehicles typically have built-in car speakers for entertainment and audio purposes. However, with the rise of outdoor activities, the demand for portable speakers while driving is increasing. In outdoor scenarios, users need to use portable speakers to play audio. Because both car speakers and portable speakers have relatively limited functionality, their usage scenarios are restricted. Therefore, when driving, users also need to carry a separate portable speaker, reducing the convenience of travel.

[0053] For the reasons mentioned above, the developers considered combining the two types of speakers. However, due to different usage scenarios, the structural requirements of the two types of speakers also differ. The car speaker has a simpler exterior structure to facilitate integration and installation with the vehicle body, while the portable speaker requires supporting components to ensure a certain gap between the bottom of the speaker and the contact surface, preventing wear and tear on the speaker's outer surface and affecting its appearance. These two structural characteristics make it difficult to combine car speakers and portable speakers, limiting the improvement of vehicle functionality.

[0054] Therefore, this application provides a speaker that simultaneously meets the above two structural requirements, enabling switching between in-vehicle mode and portable mode. In in-vehicle mode, the speaker can be installed inside the vehicle as part of the vehicle body, with the support component housed within the speaker body's cavity to ensure a small gap between the speaker and the vehicle body, thus guaranteeing the installation effect. In portable mode, the speaker can be removed and used as an independent product, with the support component providing some support to the speaker body to prevent wear or scratches on the speaker's appearance.

[0055] The speaker provided in the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 2 The diagram shows the speaker's structure in portable and in-vehicle modes in the embodiments of this application. (Refer to...) Figures 3 to 13 Figure 100 shows a schematic diagram of the support component 100 in an embodiment of this application. As shown, the speaker in this embodiment may include a speaker body 200 and a support component 100. The speaker body 200 includes a housing, and a receiving cavity 201 is provided inside the housing. The receiving cavity 201 has an opening 202. The support component 100 is movably connected to the receiving cavity 201. The support component 100 can be housed in the receiving cavity 201 or extend out of the receiving cavity 201 through the opening 202, so that the speaker can switch between vehicle mode and portable mode. In vehicle mode, the support component 100 is housed in the receiving cavity 201 so that the speaker can be installed in a vehicle. In portable mode, the support component 100 extends at least partially out of the receiving cavity 201 through the opening 202 and supports the speaker body 200.

[0057] In practical applications, a speaker is also installed in the housing cavity 201 to enable the speaker to convert audio signals into sound signals. The housing can provide a certain degree of protection for the internal support components 100 and the speaker, preventing the internal structure from being damaged by external forces. At the same time, the shape of the housing can also enhance the overall aesthetics of the speaker.

[0058] In this embodiment, since the support component 100 is movably connected within the receiving cavity 201 of the speaker body 200, and the receiving cavity 201 has an opening 202, when the support component 100 is housed within the receiving cavity 201, the speaker body 200 has a simpler external structure, facilitating assembly with a vehicle, thereby switching to vehicle mode and enabling installation in a vehicle as a car speaker; when at least a portion of the support component 100 extends from the opening 202 of the receiving cavity 201 outside the receiving cavity 201, the support component 100 provides support for the speaker body 200, thereby switching to portable mode and enabling use as a portable speaker for outdoor use. The speaker provided in this embodiment, with the support component 100 movably connected within the receiving cavity 201 and capable of being housed within or at least partially extending outside the receiving cavity 201, simultaneously meets the structural requirements of both car speakers and portable speakers, expanding the speaker's application scenarios, enriching vehicle functionality, and improving user portability.

[0059] Among them, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the housing includes a front panel 203 and a bottom plate (not shown) disposed opposite to each other, and a side plate 204 connected between the front panel 203 and the bottom plate. The front panel 203, the bottom plate, and the side plate 204 are interconnected and enclose a receiving cavity 201. The front panel 203 is used for sound output, and the opening 202 is provided on the side plate 204. Thus, when the speaker is in portable mode, the support assembly 100 extends at least partially from the side plate 204 out of the receiving cavity 201, allowing the speaker to emit sound forward through the front panel 203. In addition, since the side plate 204 has an opening 202, in vehicle mode, the opening 202 of the side plate 204 can also be used to cooperate with the vehicle body to realize the assembly of the speaker with the vehicle, making assembly simpler.

[0060] Optionally, the support assembly 100 includes a drive module 10 and a support module 20 that are movably connected. The drive module 10 is connected to the speaker body 200 and movably connected to the support module 20. The drive module 10 is used to drive the support module 20 to extend out of the receiving cavity 201 or to be stored in the receiving cavity 201, so that the speaker can switch between portable mode and car mode.

[0061] Specifically, there are two support modules 20, and correspondingly, there are at least two openings 202. The drive module 10 can drive both support modules 20 to move simultaneously. Furthermore, the drive support module 20 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 201, so that it can extend out of the receiving cavity 201 or be stored inside the receiving cavity 201. In order to provide a stable driving force to the drive module 10, the drive module 10 can be at least partially connected to the speaker body 200.

[0062] It should be noted that the drive module 10 can be designed to be electrically driven or mechanically driven; this application does not impose a specific limitation on either. When the drive module 10 is electrically driven, a control circuit is also provided inside the speaker body 200 to connect the drive module 10 and the circuit board to supply power to the drive module 10. When the drive module 10 is mechanically driven, since mechanical driving requires manual operation by the user, the operating components of the drive module 10 need to be at least partially exposed outside the speaker body 200. Correspondingly, the support module 20 can be configured in any structural form adapted to the drive module 10.

[0063] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one optional embodiment of this application, the speaker further includes a fixing module 30, which is connected to the speaker body 200. The drive module 10 and the support module 20 are both connected to the fixing module 30, ensuring precise coordination and stable support between the drive module 10 and the support module 20 during operation.

[0064] Specifically, the fixing module 30 can be fixedly connected inside the housing of the speaker body 200. The setting of the fixing module 30 provides a stable mounting position for the drive module 10. On the other hand, since it is connected to the speaker body 200, when the support module 20 is connected to the fixing module 30, it can act as a guide structure to provide precise guidance for the movement of the support module 20, ensuring that the support module 20 can smoothly extend out of the receiving cavity 201 from the opening 202 or be stored in the receiving cavity 201.

[0065] In specific applications, the fixing module 30 can be fixedly connected to the side plate 204 with the opening 202 on the speaker body 200. It can be understood that when the speaker is in portable mode, it needs to be supported by the support module 20 extending from the opening 202. Therefore, by connecting the fixing module 30 to the side plate 204 with the opening 202, the weight distribution of the speaker in portable mode is optimized, making the center of gravity of the speaker more stable, thereby improving the reliability of the speaker and reducing the risk of accidental drops or tipping caused by an unstable center of gravity.

[0066] Furthermore, the drive module 10 includes a drive motor 11 and a lead screw 12. The drive motor 11 is connected to the fixed module 30, one end of the lead screw 12 is connected to the drive motor 11, and the other end of the lead screw 12 is movably connected to the support module 20. The drive motor 11 is used to drive the lead screw 12 to rotate, so as to drive the support module 20 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 12.

[0067] In this embodiment, the speaker also includes a circuit board, which is electrically connected to the drive motor 11 to supply power to the drive motor 11. Figure 4As shown, the drive motor 11 can be connected to the first connecting plate 22 of the fixing module 30 via bolts. The drive motor 11 is connected to the side of the first connecting plate 22 near the opening 202. The lead screw 12 passes through the first connecting plate 22 from the other side and is connected to the drive motor 11. When the drive motor 11 is in working condition, it can drive the lead screw 12 to rotate. In this way, the distance between the lead screw 12 and the opening 202 is greater, thereby providing more room for the support rod 21 to move. Other structures such as gears 42 and first baffles 41 can also be installed on the side of the first connecting plate 22 near the opening 202. The other end of the lead screw 12 is also threadedly connected to the support module 20. During the rotation of the lead screw 12, because the support module 20 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 12, the support module 20 can move along the axial direction of the lead screw 12, thus enabling the support module 20 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 12.

[0068] Understandably, the drive motor 11 is connected to the fixed module 30, providing a stable driving force for the rotation of the lead screw 12, ensuring that the support module 20 maintains a smooth movement trajectory during extension or retraction, thus guaranteeing the performance. Furthermore, this electrically driven method using the drive motor 11 simplifies the switching between portable and in-vehicle modes for the speaker, ensuring user-friendly operation. In specific applications, the drive motor 11 can be a stepper motor, a servo motor, or a DC motor; this application does not specifically limit the type of drive motor 11.

[0069] Optionally, the support module 20 includes a support rod 21 and a first connecting plate 22, the lead screw 12 passes through the first connecting plate 22 and is movably connected to the first connecting plate 22, and the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 22.

[0070] Specifically, the lead screw 12 has an external thread, and the first connecting plate 22 is provided with a mounting hole. The wall of the mounting hole is provided with an internal thread. The lead screw 12 is threadedly connected to the first connecting plate 22. Therefore, when the lead screw 12 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 11, the first connecting plate 22 can move up and down along the axial direction of the lead screw 12, thereby driving the support rod 21, which is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 22, to move up and down. In order to ensure that the support rod 21 can smoothly enter and exit the receiving cavity 201 through the opening 202 when it moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 12, the axial direction of the support rod 21 is set parallel to the axial direction of the lead screw 12.

[0071] In this embodiment, there are two support rods 21. The two ends of the first connecting plate 22 are respectively connected to the two support rods 21. The drive motor 11 is located between the two support rods 21, and the distance between the drive motor 11 and the two support rods 21 is equal. In this way, the force of the drive motor 11 on the two support rods 21 is more balanced, making the two support modules 20 more balanced, and the switching process between portable mode and car mode of the speaker is also more stable.

[0072] Optionally, the speaker also includes a baffle module 40, which is movably connected to the support module 20. When the support module 20 extends outside the receiving cavity 201, the baffle module 40 is housed within the receiving cavity 201. When the support module 20 is retracted into the receiving cavity 201, the baffle module 40 blocks the opening 202. By blocking the opening 202, the baffle module 40 prevents external dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the speaker, reducing damage caused by external impurities and extending the speaker's lifespan.

[0073] Specifically, the baffle module 40 includes a first baffle 41 and a gear 42. The support module 20 has a rack on the side near the opening 202. The gear 42 is connected to the rack in a transmission manner, and the first baffle 41 is connected to the gear 42. When the support assembly 100 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 12, it can drive the gear 42 to rotate and drive the first baffle 41 to rotate, so as to block the opening 202 or release the blocking of the opening 202.

[0074] The first baffle 41 is provided with a mounting structure 411 for connecting with the gear 42. The mounting structure 411 can be two mounting plates 1311 arranged opposite each other, extending towards the gear 42 and respectively disposed on both sides of the end face of the gear 42. The baffle module 40 also includes a gear shaft 43, which connects the gear 42 and the mounting structure 411 to realize the connection between the gear 42 and the first baffle 41. The gear 42 also meshes with a rack at one end of the support module 20. When the support module 20 moves axially along the lead screw 12, the rack meshes with the teeth of the gear 42 to drive the gear 42 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 42 drives the first baffle 41 to rotate, so that the baffle can block the opening 202 or release the blocking of the opening 202.

[0075] In one embodiment of this application, the end face of the gear 42 is provided with a limiting protrusion 421, and the baffle is provided with a limiting groove 412. The limiting protrusion 421 is embedded in the limiting groove 412 so that the baffle can be rotated by the rotation of the gear 42.

[0076] Specifically, the gear 42 and the first baffle 41 are separate structures. The limiting groove 412 is located on the side of the mounting plate 1311 in the mounting structure 411 opposite to the end face of the gear 42. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 412 and the limiting protrusion 421, the first baffle 41 can be driven to rotate when the gear 42 rotates. The limiting protrusion 421 includes two parallel outer walls, and the limiting groove 412 includes an inner wall that fits the two outer walls. It should be noted that this separate structure facilitates processing.

[0077] Optionally, the fixing module 30 further includes a guide rod 34, which is connected to the side of the support rod 21 that is radially away from the gear 42. The guide rod 34 provides a certain limiting effect on the support rod 21, preventing it from shifting away from the gear 42 during meshing, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the support rod 21's movement. In this embodiment, the surfaces where the guide rod 34 and the support rod 21 mate are both planes, further ensuring the limiting and guiding effect of the guide rod 34 on the support rod 21.

[0078] Optionally, the fixing module 30 includes a fixing plate assembly 31, a first guide sleeve 32, and a second connecting plate 33. The fixing plate assembly 31 is connected to the speaker body 200, the first guide sleeve 32 is connected to the fixing plate assembly 31, the second connecting plate 33 is connected to the first guide sleeve 32, the driving module 10 is connected to the second connecting plate 33, and the support module 20 passes through the first guide sleeve 32.

[0079] The first guide sleeve 32 is connected to the fixed plate assembly 31 by bolts. The fixed plate assembly 31 is provided with a fixed plate locking lug 312, which connects the fixed plate assembly 31 to the speaker body 200 by bolts. The surfaces of the first guide sleeve 32 and the fixed plate 311 that mate are flat, increasing the connection area between them. The first guide sleeve 32 has a through hole extending axially along the lead screw 12, and the support rod 21 of the support module 20 is fitted into this through hole. The first guide sleeve 32 provides precise guidance for the movement of the support module 20 along the lead screw 12, improving the stability of the support rod 21's movement and the accuracy of its fit with the opening 202.

[0080] In some optional embodiments of this application, there are two fixing plate assemblies 31, which are spaced apart. The second connecting plate 33 is connected between the two fixing plate assemblies 31. This improves the connection strength and stability of the second connecting plate 33, and indirectly, the stability of the movement of the support rod 21 connected to the second connecting plate 33 is also further improved.

[0081] Furthermore, the fixing plate assembly 31 includes two fixing plates 311 disposed opposite to each other, and a first guide sleeve 32 is connected between the two fixing plates 311.

[0082] Since the fixing plates 311 are all fixedly connected to the speaker body 200, and the first guide sleeve 32 is connected between the two fixing plates 311, the position of the first guide sleeve 32 is more stable, which improves the guiding effect on the support rod 21.

[0083] Optionally, the fixing module 30 also includes a fixing shaft 35, with both ends of the fixing shaft 35 passing through and connecting to the two fixing plate assemblies 31 respectively. Specifically, the fixing shaft 35 passes through the two fixing plate assemblies 31 in sequence and connects the two fixing plate assemblies 31 into a whole. Since the fixing shaft 35 is connected to the two fixing plate assemblies 31 at the same time, and the second connecting plate 33 is also connected between the two fixing plate assemblies 31, the integrity and stability of the fixing module 30 are further guaranteed.

[0084] In another alternative embodiment of this application, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the support assembly 100 also includes a guide module 50, wherein the guide module 50 includes a guide seat 51 and a second baffle 52. The guide seat 51 is provided with a guide hole 511 and is connected to the speaker body 200. The second baffle 52 is slidably connected in the guide hole 511. The support module 20 is movably connected to the second baffle 52. The drive module 10 drives the support module 20 to move so as to move the second baffle 52 along the guide hole 511.

[0085] like Figure 13 As shown, the guide seat 51 is provided with a groove (not shown in the figure), and the end of the second baffle 52 passes through the guide hole 511 and is slidably connected in the groove. The configuration of the guide hole 511 provides precise path guidance for the movement of the second baffle 52, ensuring that the support module 20 can smoothly extend or retract into the receiving cavity 201 along the preset trajectory under the action of the drive module 10, reducing the risk of jamming or damage that may be caused by deviation of the movement trajectory.

[0086] Optionally, the support module 20 includes a first push rod 23, a linkage mechanism 24, and a support foot 25. One end of the first push rod 23 is movably connected to the drive module 10, and the other end is movably connected to the linkage mechanism 24. One end of the linkage mechanism 24 is also connected to the speaker body 200, and the linkage mechanism 24 is also movably connected to the support foot 25 and the second baffle 52.

[0087] Specifically, the first push rod 23, driven by the drive module 10, pushes the linkage mechanism 24 to move. The linkage mechanism 24 acts on the second baffle 52, causing the second baffle 52 to slide within the guide hole 511. Since the linkage mechanism 24 is connected to the speaker body 200, as the linkage mechanism 24 pushes the second baffle 52 to slide, the linkage mechanism 24 unfolds, causing the support foot 25 connected to the linkage mechanism 24 to move downward. When the second baffle 52 slides to its furthest point, the support foot 25 moves down to its lowest position and is exposed in the opening 202. In addition, the end of the first push rod 23 connected to the drive module 10 is provided with a connection opening 231. The fifth link 142 of the drive module 10 is hinged to the first push rod 23 through this connection opening 231. When the drive module 10 pushes the first push rod 23, there is a change in the included angle between the first push rod 23 and the fifth link 142. The opening 202 can play a certain role in avoiding the mutual rotation of the two.

[0088] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 12 As shown, the linkage mechanism 24 includes a first link 241, a second link 242, a third link 243, and a baffle link 244. The two ends of the first link 241 are respectively hinged to one end of the first push rod 23 and the support foot 25. The two ends of the second link 242 are respectively hinged to the middle of the first push rod 23 and the third link 243. One end of the third link 243 is simultaneously hinged to one end of the baffle link 244 and the middle of the support foot 25. The end of the baffle link 244 away from the third link 243 is hinged to the second baffle 52. The end of the third link 243 away from the baffle link 244 is also hinged to the speaker body 200.

[0089] Specifically, the second baffle 52 is provided with a baffle locking lug 521, and the baffle connecting rod 244 is hinged to the second baffle 52 through the baffle locking lug 521. According to the above structure, the first push rod 23 pushes the first connecting rod 241 and the second connecting rod 242 forward, while the baffle connecting rod 244 pushes the second baffle 52 forward. Since the third connecting rod 243 is hinged to the baffle connecting rod 244, and the end of the third connecting rod 243 away from the baffle connecting rod 244 is also hinged to the speaker body 200, the position of the end of the third connecting rod 243 away from the baffle connecting rod 244 is fixed and only rotates. During the forward movement of the second baffle 52, the included angle between the third connecting rod 243 and the baffle connecting rod 244 increases and tends to be a flat angle, thereby driving the support foot 25 connected to it to move downward.

[0090] Furthermore, the support module 20 also includes a connecting seat 26, which is connected to the speaker body 200. The end of the third link 243 away from the baffle link 244 is hinged to the connecting seat 26. The connecting seat 26 serves as a connection medium between the third link 243 and the speaker body 200, making the movable connection between the third link 243 and the speaker body 200 more reliable and improving the flexibility of the rotation of the third link 243.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the drive module 10 includes a pressing module 13 and a connecting rod module 14. The pressing module 13 is connected to the speaker body 200 and extends at least partially out of the receiving cavity 201. The connecting rod module 14 is connected to the pressing module 13, and the first push rod 23 is movably connected to the connecting rod module 14. The pressing module 13 serves as the operating element of the drive module 10, accepting user pressing operations. When the pressing module 13 is pressed, it can drive the connecting rod module 14 to move away from or towards the pressing module 13, thereby driving the first push rod 23 to move toward or away from the opening 202, thus driving the support module 20 to extend out of or retract into the receiving cavity 201.

[0092] like Figure 11 As shown, the linkage module 14 includes a fourth linkage 141 and a fifth linkage 142. The fourth linkage 141 is movably connected to the pressing module 13 and reciprocates axially under the pressing of the pressing module 13. The fifth linkage 142 includes a first end and a second end that are disposed opposite to each other. The first end is movably connected to the fourth linkage 141, and the second end is movably connected to the first push rod 23. When the fourth linkage 141 moves axially, the fifth linkage 142 can be driven to switch between an open state and a retracted state. In the open state, the second end moves away from the fourth linkage 141 and causes the support module 20 to be at least partially exposed in the opening 202. In the retracted state, the second end moves close to the fourth linkage 141 and causes the support module 20 to be received in the receiving cavity 201.

[0093] Specifically, the fourth link 141 is provided with two sets of fifth links 142. Each set of fifth links 142 is used to push one set of support modules 20 to move. Each set of fifth links 142 is spaced apart along the axial direction of the fourth link 141. Because the fifth links 142 switch between the open and retracted states under the pushing action of the fourth link 141, the included angle between the fifth links 142 and the fourth link 141 will change. Therefore, the fourth link 141 is also provided with a mounting groove 1411 to accommodate the end of the fifth link 142. The fifth link 142 is hinged in the mounting groove 1411 by a pin assembly. When the fifth link 142 moves to the point where the included angle with the fourth link 141 increases, it can push the first push rod 23 forward. Combined with the above, this realizes the switching between the retraction and extension of the support module 20 into the receiving cavity 201.

[0094] Optionally, the linkage module 14 further includes a second guide sleeve 143 and an elastic element 144. The second guide sleeve 143 is sleeved on the fourth linkage 141 and fixedly connected to the speaker body 200. A limiting part 1415 is provided on the fourth linkage 141. The elastic element 144 is sleeved on the fourth linkage 141 and movably connected between the second guide sleeve 143 and the limiting part 1415. Since the second guide sleeve 143 is fixedly connected to the speaker body 200, when the fourth linkage 141 moves axially under the pressure of the pressing module 13, the elastic element 144 between the limiting part 1415 and the second guide sleeve 143 can be compressed and restored along the axial direction of the fourth linkage 141. When the elastic element 144 restores its deformation, it can drive the pressing module 13 to reset.

[0095] like Figure 10 As shown, the pressing module 13 includes a mounting base 131, a pressing rod 132, and a second push rod 133. The mounting base 131 is connected to the speaker body 200. The pressing rod 132 extends at least partially from the mounting base 131 to the outside of the receiving cavity 201 and is used to receive pressing operations. The second push rod 133 is connected between the pressing rod 132 and the linkage module 14 to push the linkage module 14 away from or towards the pressing module 13 under the pressing of the pressing rod 132.

[0096] In this embodiment, the structure of the pressing module 13 is similar to that of a ballpoint pen. Specifically, the mounting base 131 is used to connect with the speaker body 200. The mounting base 131 is also provided with a first guide portion, which is connected to the side of the mounting base 131 near the receiving cavity 201. The first guide portion is provided with a guide groove 1312. The pressing rod 132 includes a pressing portion 1321 and a second guide portion. The pressing portion 1321 is connected in the first guide portion and extends out of the receiving cavity 201 from the mounting base 131. The outer peripheral surface of the second guide portion is provided with a first guide protrusion 1322. The outer circumferential surface of the push rod is provided with a second guide protrusion 1331; wherein, the first guide protrusion 1322 and the second guide protrusion 1331 are used to cooperate with the guide groove 1312; when the pressing part 1321 is pressed, the first guide protrusion 1322 pushes the second guide protrusion 1331 to extend out of the guide groove 1312, so that the connecting rod module 14 is away from the pressing module 13, and under the restoring force of the elastic member 144 connected to the fourth connecting rod 141, the pressing module 13 can be driven to reset.

[0097] Furthermore, the end of the first guide portion away from the mounting base 131 is provided with a first end face sliding tooth 1313, the end face of the second guide portion away from the pressing portion 1321 is provided with a second end face sliding tooth 1323, and the end of the push rod near the pressure rod 132 is provided with a third end face sliding tooth 1332 that cooperates with the first end face sliding tooth 1313 and the second end face sliding tooth 1323. Through the setting of the pressing module 13, the connecting rod module 14 can be driven to move axially, thereby driving the support module 20 to extend out of the receiving cavity 201 or be retracted into the receiving cavity 201. In summary, the speaker provided by the embodiments of this application has at least the following advantages:

[0098] In this embodiment, since the supporting component is movably connected within the receiving cavity of the speaker body, and the receiving cavity has an opening, when the supporting component is housed within the receiving cavity, the speaker body's external structure is simplified, facilitating assembly with a vehicle. This allows switching to vehicle mode and enabling installation as a vehicle speaker. When at least a portion of the supporting component extends from the opening of the receiving cavity to the outside of the receiving cavity, the supporting component provides support for the speaker body, thus switching to portable mode and enabling outdoor use as a portable speaker. The speaker provided in this embodiment, with its supporting component movably connected within the receiving cavity and capable of being housed within or at least partially extending outside the receiving cavity, simultaneously satisfies the structural requirements of both vehicle speakers and portable speakers, expanding the speaker's application scenarios, enriching vehicle functionality, and enhancing user portability.

[0099] This application also discloses a vehicle including a speaker as described in any of the preceding claims. The speaker is detachably connected to the vehicle, wherein in in-vehicle mode, the speaker is installed in the vehicle, and in portable mode, the speaker is independent of the vehicle. Furthermore, to facilitate speaker installation, the vehicle is provided with a mounting portion for installing the speaker. This mounting portion can be located in one or more of the following positions: front and rear doors, dashboard, roof, armrest box, glove box, etc., without specific limitation in this application. By installing this speaker in the vehicle, the vehicle's functionality is improved, enhancing user portability and significantly improving the user experience.

[0100] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the speaker are the same as those of the speakers in the foregoing embodiments, and their beneficial effects are also similar, so they will not be described in detail here.
