[0048] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme 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 embodiment described below is only 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.

[0049] In the description of the present utility model, it is to be understood that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally arranged component at the same time. When a component is considered to be "set on" another component, it may be directly set on the other component or there may be a centrally arranged component at the same time.

[0050] In addition, terms such as "long", "short", "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention. They do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have this specific direction or operate with a specific direction structure, and should not be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0051] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] The utility model provides a speaker assembly and an intelligent speaker, which are suitable for application scenarios such as karaoke and the like, and can effectively solve the problem that the microphone is difficult to take out.

[0053] See also Figure 1 The smart speaker includes a plurality of microphones 100 and a speaker assembly 200 for accommodating each microphone 100 .

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The speaker assembly 200 includes a speaker body 1 having a microphone placement space 101, a microphone placement bracket 2 extending into the microphone placement space 101 and used to place the microphone 100, and a cover 3 rotatably connected to the speaker body 1 and used to cover or expose the microphone 100. When the cover 3 rotates relative to the speaker body 1, the microphone placement bracket 2 drives the microphone 100 to enter or leave the microphone placement space 101 as the position of the cover 3 changes.

[0055] Specifically, the microphone placement space 101 is used to place the microphone 100 , and its shape is various, such as a space inside a groove, a space formed by a hollow groove, and a space formed by a support member.

[0056] Further, the microphone placement space 101 is Figure 1 Taking the space enclosed by the slot-shaped structure shown as an example, the microphone 100 entering the microphone placement space 101 includes at least two situations. The first situation is that the microphone 100 is completely separated from the microphone placement space 101 and then stored in the microphone placement space 101. The second situation is that the microphone 100 is stored in the microphone placement space 101 from being partially stored in the microphone placement space 101. Partial storage in the microphone placement space 101 includes the head / tail of the microphone 100 being stored in the microphone placement space 101, and the tail / head of the microphone 101 being suspended above the microphone placement space 101 under the action of the microphone placement bracket 2.

[0057] The microphone 100 is separated from the microphone space 101 partially, such as the head or tail being separated, or completely separated, such as the microphone 100 is completely suspended in the microphone space 101 under the lifting effect of the microphone support 2.

[0058] In addition, before the cover 3 drives the microphone bracket 2 to the microphone space 101, the microphone bracket 2 can be located in the inner cavity of the speaker body 1, partially extend into the microphone space 101 without contacting the microphone 100, and extend into the microphone space 101 to fit the microphone 100 but not conflict with the microphone 100.

[0059] The speaker assembly 200 and the smart speaker provided in this embodiment are provided with a microphone support 2 linked with a cover 3 in the speaker body 1:

[0060] When the cover 3 is rotated to cover the microphone 100, the cover 3 drives the microphone bracket 2 to simultaneously drive the microphone 100 downward into the microphone placement space 101, completing the storage operation of the microphone 100;

[0061] When the cover 3 is rotated to expose the microphone 100 , the cover 3 drives the microphone support 2 to simultaneously drive the microphone 100 upward out of the microphone space 101 , so as to take out the microphone 100 .

[0062] Therefore, the speaker assembly 200 and the smart speaker provided by the present invention can separate the microphone 100 from the microphone placement space 101 only by rotating the cover 3, thereby effectively solving the problem that the microphone 100 is embedded in the microphone placement space 101 and is difficult to remove.

[0063] In this embodiment, the cover 3 is provided with a display screen 4, and further, the display screen 4 can be located on the inner side or the outer side of the cover 3. When singing is needed, the display screen 4 is turned upward to open and the microphone 100 can be raised upward; when singing is not needed, the display screen 4 is turned downward to close and the microphone 100 can be moved downward and stored in the microphone placement space 101.

[0064] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cover 3 may not be provided with the display screen 4 , and may simply be a cover plate for covering the microphone 100 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the cover 3 is connected to the microphone support 2 through a transmission wheel group to drive the microphone support 2 to move relative to the speaker body 1 along the depth direction of the microphone space 101 to lift the microphone 100 out of the microphone space 101 or to drive the microphone 100 into the microphone space 101. Specifically, the plane where the opening of the microphone space 101 is located is the opening plane, and the depth direction of the microphone space 101 is not parallel to the opening plane. For example, the angle between the depth direction of the microphone space 101 and the opening plane is a right angle (taking the opening plane as a horizontal plane, at this time, the microphone support 2 moves vertically upward / vertically downward), or the depth direction of the microphone space 101 is in an acute angle state with the opening plane (taking the opening plane as a horizontal plane, at this time, the microphone support 2 moves obliquely upward / obliquely downward).

[0066] Specifically, the transmission wheel group includes a driving gear 5, a terminal driven gear 6, and an intermediate transmission assembly 7. The driving gear 5 is fixed on the cover 3, and the rotation axis of the cover 3 and the speaker body 1 coincides with the axis of the driving gear 5; the terminal driven gear 6 is rotatably installed in the speaker body 1 and meshed with the microphone bracket 2; the terminal driven gear 6 is transmission-connected to the driving gear 5 through the intermediate transmission assembly 7.

[0067] The microphone support 2 includes a rack portion 201 meshingly connected to the terminal driven gear 6 and a supporting member 202 fixedly connected to the rack portion 201 .

[0068] The speaker body 1 includes a guide column 102, and the rack portion 201 is provided with a guide groove 2011 for the guide column 102 to be inserted, and the length direction of the guide groove 2011 is parallel to the depth direction of the microphone placement space 101. The bottom of the microphone placement space 101 is provided with a through hole 103 for the support member 202 to pass through, and the top of the support member 202 is provided with a limiting groove 2021 for the microphone 100 to be inserted. Optionally, the limiting groove 2021 is a U-shaped structure so as to limit the microphone 100 from both sides to prevent the microphone 100 from shaking left and right.

[0069] When the cover 3 is turned upward to open so that the driving gear 5 rotates forward, the driving gear 5 drives the terminal driven gear 6 to rotate forward through the intermediate transmission assembly 7, which can drive the rack portion 201 to slide upward under the limiting action of the guide groove 2011 and the guide column 102, thereby driving the supporting member 202 to move upward and lift the microphone 100 upward;

[0070] When the cover 3 is turned downward to close so that the driving gear 5 rotates in the opposite direction, the driving gear 5 drives the terminal driven gear 6 to rotate in the opposite direction through the intermediate transmission assembly 7, thereby driving the rack portion 201 to slide downward under the limiting action of the guide groove 2011 and the guide column 102, thereby driving the supporting member 202 to move downward and put the microphone 100 back into the microphone placement space 101.

[0071] In this embodiment, the intermediate transmission assembly 7 includes a two-stage chain transmission structure, specifically including a first intermediate driven gear 701, a first chain 702, a second intermediate driven gear 703, a third intermediate driven gear 704, and a second chain 705. The first intermediate driven gear 701 is rotatably connected to the speaker body 1; the first intermediate driven gear 701 is transmission-connected to the driving gear 5 through the first chain 702; the second intermediate driven gear 703 is coaxial with the first intermediate driven gear 701 and is synchronously rotatably connected; the third intermediate driven gear 704 is coaxial with the terminal driven gear 6 and is synchronously rotatably connected; the second intermediate driven gear 703 is transmission-connected to the third intermediate driven gear 704 through the second chain 705.

[0072] When the cover member 3 is rotated, the driving gear 5 rotates with the cover member 3, and then drives the terminal driven gear 6 to rotate through the intermediate driven gears and the chain. In some other embodiments, the intermediate transmission assembly 7 can also be a chain transmission structure of other levels such as three or four levels, or the intermediate transmission assembly 7 is a pure gear transmission, which is not limited by the present invention.

[0073] In this embodiment, at least two supporting members 202 are provided corresponding to each microphone 100, and all supporting members 202 are fixedly connected to the rack portion 201 through the horizontal connecting plate 203. Therefore, when the rack portion 201 moves up and down, all supporting members 202 can be driven to move up or down together through the horizontal connecting plate 203. It should be noted that only one rack portion 201 can be provided at one end of the horizontal connecting plate 203 to save manufacturing costs, or one rack portion 201 can be provided at each end of the horizontal connecting plate 203 to improve the stability of the horizontal connecting plate 203 when it moves up and down.

[0074] In some other embodiments, see Figure 4 Each microphone 100 is provided with a supporting member 202, and the supporting member 202 is provided corresponding to the end of the microphone 100. When the rack portion 201 drives the supporting member 202 to rise upward, one end of the microphone 100 can be tilted upward, and the microphone 100 can be easily taken out.

[0075] In this embodiment, the speaker body 1 is rotatably connected to the cover 3 via a damping shaft 8, and the damping effect of the damping shaft 8 is greater than the gravity of the microphone 100, so that after the cover 3 is rotated to open, the cover 3 will not automatically rotate downward to a closed state due to the gravity of the microphone 100, but can be maintained at the desired opening angle.

[0076] Alternatively, even if the damping shaft 8 is not used, the weight of the cover 3 can be set to be relatively large, so that after the cover 3 is opened, the gravity of the microphone 100 is not sufficient to rotate the cover 3 to the closed state.

[0077] In summary, the speaker assembly and smart speaker provided in this embodiment have the following advantages:

[0078] ① When the cover 3 is rotated, the microphone support 2 can simultaneously drive the microphone 100 to enter or leave the microphone space 101, thereby solving the problem that the microphone 100 is difficult to take out;

[0079] ② The transmission wheel set is a purely mechanical structure, and no electric components are required between the cover 3 and the microphone support 2, which has low cost and high reliability;

[0080] ③ The limiting groove 2021 of the supporting member 202 can clamp the microphone 100 from both sides to prevent the microphone 100 from shaking left and right;

[0081] ④ The microphone bracket 2 can lift the entire microphone 100 horizontally upward or lift one end of the microphone 100 upward.

[0082] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the utility model. They are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
