[0046] See also Figure 1 As shown, in the related art, the audio playback device includes a device body 100 and at least two input jacks and at least two output jacks arranged on the device body 100. However, the jacks 200 of the device body 100 are usually arranged in two rows, and the output jacks and the input jacks are not distinguished and are mixed in different rows. That is, the first row of jacks includes the output jacks and the input jacks, and the second row of jacks also includes the output jacks and the input jacks.

[0047] Specifically, see Figure 1 As shown, the first row of sockets 200 includes a LINE IN (line input) socket, a LINE OUT (line output) socket, a COAX OUT (coaxial cable output) socket, a SUB OUT (subwoofer output socket) socket, and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) socket. The second row of sockets 200 includes a POWER (power) socket, a MIC (microphone) socket, an OPTICAL IN (optical fiber input) socket, an OPTICAL OUT (optical fiber output) socket, an HDMI ARC (high-definition multimedia interface) socket, and a LAN (local area network) socket.

[0048] Because some input jacks and some output jacks have the same appearance and shape and are located in the same row. For example, the LINE IN jack and the LINE OUT jack have the same appearance and shape and are located in the first row. The OPTICAL IN jack and the OPTICAL OUT jack have the same appearance and shape and are located in the second row.

[0049] Therefore, when users plug in external loads, they are prone to make mistakes and plug the port of the external load that should be plugged into the input socket (IN) into the output socket, or plug the port of the external load that should be plugged into the output socket (OUT) into the input socket, which can easily cause damage to the external load and the audio playback device.

[0050] In order to solve the above technical problems, the audio playback device provided in the present application arranges the input jacks side by side, and the output jacks side by side, and the output jacks and the input jacks are located in different rows. When the user observes the jacks or reads the instructions, he can quickly know that the input jacks are arranged in the same row and the output jacks are arranged in the same row, so that it is easy for the user to distinguish them, and the user is not easy to make mistakes when connecting an external load.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] In the description of the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0053] The terms "first", "second", "third" (if any) in the specification and claims of the utility model and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the utility model described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, for example.

[0054] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or service tool that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or service tool.

[0055] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0056] See also Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides an audio playback device, comprising: a device body 100 and a plurality of plug interfaces 200. The plug interfaces 200 can be used to connect external loads.

[0057] The plurality of sockets 200 include at least two input sockets and at least two output sockets.

[0058] At least two input sockets are arranged side by side on the device body 100 .

[0059] Exemplarily, at least two input jacks are arranged at intervals along the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure.

[0060] At least two output sockets are arranged side by side on the device body 100, and the output sockets and the input sockets are located in different rows.

[0061] Exemplarily, at least two output sockets are arranged at intervals along the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure.

[0062] It is understandable that when the user observes the socket 200 or reads the instructions, he can quickly know that the input sockets are arranged in the same row, the output sockets are arranged in the same row, and the output sockets and the input sockets are located in different rows. In this way, when the user connects the external load, it is not easy to make a wrong operation, and it is not easy to cause damage to the external load and the audio playback device.

[0063] Exemplarily, the number of input sockets may be two, three, or more than three. The number of output sockets may be two, three, or more than three. This embodiment does not make specific limitations here.

[0064] In some embodiments, in order to improve the aesthetics, the line connecting the center points of two adjacent plug ports 200 in the same row is parallel to the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure.

[0065] In a possible implementation, the audio playback device provided by the present invention further includes a plurality of identification members, which are correspondingly arranged on one side of the plug interface 200 , and the identification members are configured to identify the type of the plug interface 200 .

[0066] For example, the identification element may indicate whether the socket 200 is an output socket, an input socket, or a socket with other functions.

[0067] Meanwhile, for the same functional plug-in interface 200, for example, an input plug-in interface, the identification piece can indicate whether the plug-in interface 200 is a line input plug-in interface or an analog audio input plug-in interface, etc., so that the user can distinguish.

[0068] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to quickly distinguish the types of the plug-in ports 200 , the identification element may be disposed above or below the corresponding plug-in port 200 .

[0069] The identification element may include at least one of text, letters or patterns. The identification element may be provided on the housing 110 by printing or pasting.

[0070] It is understandable that in this embodiment, by providing identification elements, the user can quickly distinguish whether the socket 200 is an output socket or an input socket, and different output sockets with similar shapes or different input sockets with similar shapes can also be quickly distinguished.

[0071] See also Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the socket 200 also includes a power interface, and the power interface and the output socket are arranged side by side.

[0072] It can be understood that the power interface and the output interface generate more heat than the input interface. Therefore, arranging the power interface and the output interface side by side is conducive to setting the heat dissipation structure and improving the heat dissipation effect of the power interface and the output interface.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in the first row of sockets 200, from left to right, the sockets 200 are respectively a LINE IN (line input) socket, a PHONO (analog audio input) socket, a GROUND (ground) socket, an OPTICAL IN (optical fiber input) socket, an HDMI ARC (high-definition multimedia) socket and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) socket.

[0074] Among them, the LINE IN (line input) interface requires two jacks, and the PHONO (analog audio input) requires two jacks.

[0075] It should be noted that, in order to improve integration, there may be more types of input interfaces, thereby meeting the needs of more external loads.

[0076] like Figure 3As shown, in the second row of sockets 200, from left to right, the sockets 200 are respectively a LINE OUT (line output) socket, a SUB OUT (subwoofer output) socket, a COAX OUT (coaxial cable output) socket, a TRIGGER OUT (action trigger) socket, an OPTICAL OUT (optical fiber output) socket, a LAN (local area network) socket and a POWER (power) socket.

[0077] Among them, the LINE OUT (line output) interface requires two socket ends.

[0078] It should be noted that, in order to improve integration, there may be more types of output plug interfaces, thereby meeting the needs of more external loads.

[0079] In a possible implementation, in order to improve the aesthetics of the audio playback device, the number of the plug interfaces 200 in different rows of the plug interfaces 200 is the same.

[0080] Moreover, the plurality of plug interfaces 200 in two adjacent rows are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. That is, the line connecting the center points of the corresponding plug interfaces 200 in different rows is parallel to the height direction of the audio playback device, that is, the direction indicated by the Z axis.

[0081] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the angle between the line connecting the center points of the corresponding plug interfaces 200 in different rows and the height direction of the audio playback device, that is, the direction shown by the Z axis, is relatively small, for example, less than 5 degrees.

[0082] Exemplarily, in the first row of sockets 200 , the number of the sockets 200 is 8, the 8 sockets 200 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the audio playback device, and the interval between two adjacent sockets 200 along the width direction is D.

[0083] In the second row of sockets 200 , the number of the sockets 200 is 8. The 8 sockets 200 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the audio playback device, and the interval between two adjacent sockets 200 along the width direction is D.

[0084] The first row of sockets 200 and the second row of sockets 200 are spaced apart along the height direction of the audio player, wherein the width direction of the audio player is the direction indicated by the X axis, and the height direction of the audio player is the direction indicated by the Z axis.

[0085] It should be noted that D is a variable value, that is, in the same row of sockets 200, the distances between the center points of each socket 200 may be different. In this way, regardless of whether the structural type and shape size of the sockets 200 are the same, the connecting line of the center points of the sockets 200 corresponding to different rows can be parallel to the height direction of the audio playback device, that is, the direction indicated by the Z axis.

[0086] In other embodiments, D may be a fixed value, that is, the distance between the center points of the plug interfaces 200 in the same row of plug interfaces 200 is the same. In this way, when the structure type, shape and size of the plug interfaces 200 are the same, the connecting line of the center points of the plug interfaces 200 corresponding to different rows can be parallel to the height direction of the audio playback device, that is, the direction shown by the Z axis. When the structure type, shape and size of the plug interfaces 200 are different, the plug interfaces 200 are misaligned.

[0087] In some embodiments, each row of the plug ports 200 includes a plurality of plug ports 200 of different sizes. In order to save space, more plug ports 200 are provided to achieve more functions when the width of the audio playback device is constant, and plug ports 200 of similar sizes are provided correspondingly.

[0088] It should be noted that similar sizes can be obtained through comparative analysis. Alternatively, similar sizes can be that the difference between the size of the corresponding first row of middle plug interfaces 200 along the direction indicated by the X-axis and the size of the first row of middle plug interfaces 200 along the direction indicated by the X-axis is less than one quarter of the size of the first row of middle plug interfaces 200 along the direction indicated by the X-axis.

[0089] Exemplarily, the first row of sockets 200 includes an HDMI ARC (High Definition Multimedia Interface) socket and a GROUND (ground) socket. The second row of sockets 200 includes a LAN (local area network) socket and a TRIGGER OUT (action trigger) socket.

[0090] Among them, the size difference between the GROUND (ground wire) plug interface and the TRIGGER OUT (action trigger) plug interface along the direction shown by the X-axis is smaller than the size difference between the GROUND (ground wire) plug interface and the LAN (local area network) plug interface along the direction shown by the X-axis.

[0091] That is, the GROUND (ground wire) plug interface and the TRIGGER OUT (action trigger) plug interface are similar in size, and therefore, the GROUND (ground wire) plug interface and the TRIGGER OUT (action trigger) plug interface are set correspondingly.

[0092] The size difference between the HDMI ARC (High Definition Multimedia Interface) interface and the LAN (Local Area Network) interface along the direction shown by the X-axis is smaller than the size difference between the HDMI ARC (High Definition Multimedia Interface) interface and the TRIGGER OUT (Action Trigger) interface.

[0093] That is to say, the HDMI ARC (High Definition Multimedia Interface) plug interface and the LAN (Local Area Network) plug interface are similar in size, and therefore, the HDMI ARC (High Definition Multimedia Interface) plug interface and the LAN (Local Area Network) plug interface are set correspondingly.

[0094] In some embodiments, input jacks and output jacks of the same type are arranged correspondingly.

[0095] Exemplarily, the OPTICAL IN (fiber input) jack and the OPTICAL OUT (fiber output) jack are of the same type, and have the same shape and size. Therefore, the OPTICAL IN (fiber input) jack and the OPTICAL OUT (fiber output) jack are correspondingly arranged. The LINE IN (line input) jack and the LINE OUT (line output) jack are of the same type, and have the same shape and size. Therefore, the LINE IN (line input) jack and the LINE OUT (line output) jack are correspondingly arranged.

[0096] In a possible implementation, in the audio playback device provided by the present invention, the output interface is located below the input interface.

[0097] It is understandable that the audio output generates more heat than the audio input. Therefore, compared with the input plug interface, the output plug interface generates more heat, so that the temperature at the bottom of the device body 100 is greater than the temperature at the top of the device body 100, and the user is not likely to touch the bottom of the device body 100, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0098] In a possible implementation, in order to accelerate the heat dissipation at the bottom of the device body 100 , a heat dissipation structure is provided at the bottom of the device body 100 .

[0099] In some possible implementations, the heat dissipation structure may be heat dissipation fins, thereby increasing the contact area between the bottom of the device body 100 and the air, thereby accelerating heat dissipation.

[0100] In another possible implementation, the bottom wall of the housing 110 has at least one heat dissipation opening, and the heat dissipation opening is communicated with the inner cavity of the housing 110. In this way, the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved.

[0101] It is understandable that the heat dissipation port is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 110, which has little impact on the appearance of the device body 100 and is beneficial to the overall aesthetics. In addition, dust is not easy to enter the interior of the housing 110 through the heat dissipation port, and the audio playback device is not easy to be damaged.

[0102] See also Figures 2 to 5As shown, in a possible implementation, in order to facilitate the user to adjust the volume, the device body 100 further includes a volume adjustment member 130, which is electrically connected to the control panel 120 and connected to the outer wall of the housing 110. The volume adjustment member 130 is disposed on a side opposite to the plug interface 200.

[0103] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate user operation during placement, the volume adjustment member 130 will be set on the front side, that is, the side facing the user, and the plug interface 200 can be located on the back side, which is beneficial to the overall aesthetics.

[0104] It should be noted that the volume adjustment member 130 may be a rotary volume adjustment structure or a push volume adjustment structure in the related art, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0105] See also Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a display component 140 and / or a touch screen component 150 is disposed on a side of the device body 100 away from the plug interface 200. When the display component 140 and the touch screen component 150 are both configured to the audio playback device, the display component 140 can be electrically connected to the touch screen component 150. The touch screen component 150 is configured to adjust the audio, and the display component 140 is configured to display changes in the audio.

[0106] When using, the user can switch, select or adjust the audio volume through the touch screen component. The display component can change according to the change of the volume or frequency of the audio. For example, the display component can change the height of the lamp column by lighting up different numbers of lamp beads.

[0107] It can be understood that by providing the display component 140 and the touch screen component 150 , user interaction can be facilitated and user experience can be improved.

[0108] In some embodiments, the display component 140 may be located between the touch screen component 150 and the volume adjustment member 130. In some embodiments, only the touch screen component 150 may be provided, and touch interaction and changes in audio content such as related volume may be displayed through the screen of the touch screen component 150, that is, the related content displayed by the display component is integrated with the related content of the touch screen component, so that the display screen display and interaction are integrated.

[0109] In some embodiments, to improve aesthetics, the display assembly 140 and the touch screen assembly 150 are embedded in the device body 100 , and the side of the display assembly 140 and the touch screen assembly 150 facing away from the plug port 200 is flush with the device body 100 .

[0110] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the audio playback device includes but is not limited to: a radio frequency unit, a network module, a sensor, a display unit, a user input unit, a memory, a processor, and a power supply. In addition, those skilled in the art can understand that the above structure does not constitute a limitation on the above audio playback device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In other words, the above audio playback device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include more or less of the above components, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
