[0043] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present disclosure, and cannot be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the usual meanings understood by persons with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the disclosure. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a cable guiding assembly for a ceiling-mounted speaker device is provided, the ceiling-mounted speaker device comprising a shell for accommodating a speaker, the shell having a lateral surface and a top surface, the cable guiding assembly comprising: a bracket pivotally connected to the shell, wherein the bracket is constructed in an L-shape and has a first section and a second section, the first section comprising a first opening and the second section comprising a second opening, wherein the bracket is pivotally connected to the lateral surface of the shell via the first section and is detachably connected to the top surface of the shell via the second section; and a cable guiding joint, the cable guiding joint being selectively arranged in the first opening or the second opening of the bracket.

[0046] In the prior art, the cable guide device can only be arranged at the top of the housing of the ceiling speaker device in a fixed position. When the space between the ceiling where the housing can be fixed and the top of the room is narrow or the height difference is too small, it is difficult for the operator to smoothly install the cable guide joint on the housing. In addition, when the ceiling leaks, the upper part of the housing is directly exposed to an unfavorable environment, which can easily cause water to enter the interior of the housing. Different from the prior art, the cable guide assembly according to the present disclosure can provide a variety of arrangements, wherein the bracket can be respectively attached to the side surface and the top surface of the housing with its two sections, and openings for the cable guide joint to pass through are respectively provided on the two sections, thereby enabling the cable guide joint to be selectively arranged at an appropriate position as required. For example, when the distance between the ceiling and the top of the room is too small, the cable guide joint is arranged at the side surface of the housing, rather than the top surface of the housing. This arrangement simplifies the installation operation and subsequent maintenance on the one hand, and also avoids the cable guide joint from being directly exposed to the space that is easily affected by the ceiling leak, thereby improving the waterproof effect.

[0047] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the first section can be pivoted at an angle of at least 130° relative to the lateral surface of the housing. Thus, the bracket can be fully opened when necessary to expose the cable interface blocked by the bracket for easy wiring, disassembly or maintenance operations.

[0048] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the first opening and the second opening have the same geometric shape. Preferably, the first opening and the second opening are configured as circular openings with the same diameter. Thus, the installation position of the cable guide connector can be conveniently changed without the need for additional adapters.

[0049] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the cable guide joint is detachably mounted in the first opening or the second opening. The cable guide joint comprises a hollow guide tube, the guide tube comprising an inlet end with a tube flange and an outlet end opposite to the tube flange, wherein the guide tube can pass through the first opening or the second opening with its outlet end.

[0050] Thus, the cable can be introduced into the guide tube from the outside through the inlet end, and led out from the outlet end to be connected to the cable interface arranged on the shell.

[0051] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the cable guide connector is connected to the bracket via a threaded connection. Preferably, the threaded connection is achieved by means of an external thread provided on the outlet end of the guide tube and a nut cooperating therewith.

[0052] Of course, in an embodiment not shown, an outlet end without an external thread can also be considered, but an additional flange with a perforation is provided at the outlet end, and matching perforations are provided on the bracket, and the bolts pass through the perforations on the flange and the matching perforations on the bracket and are tightened with the help of nuts.

[0053] In addition, it is also possible to connect the cable guide connector to the bracket via a snap connection. Preferably, the snap connection is achieved by means of a hook disposed on the outlet end of the guide tube cooperating with an edge of the first opening or the second opening.

[0054] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the cable guiding joint further includes a baffle, which is movably supported on the pipe flange to partially close the inlet end of the guiding pipe.

[0055] The baffle partially closes the inlet end, thereby minimizing the risk of foreign matter, such as water droplets, entering the device.

[0056] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the second section is threadedly connected to the top surface. Preferably, the threaded connection is achieved by a captive screw. The installation and maintenance of ceiling speaker equipment is usually carried out at a relatively high height. If parts fall, the operation will inevitably be interrupted. Therefore, when the threaded connection is released, the screw will not fall off the bracket, making the operation more convenient.

[0057] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the cable guide assembly further includes a sealing pad, wherein the sealing pad can be selectively arranged in the first opening or the second opening of the bracket. The sealing pad can cover the opening that is not passed through by the cable guide connector as needed. For example, when the cable guide connector is arranged in the first opening, the sealing pad is arranged in the second opening; and when the cable guide connector is arranged in the second opening, the sealing pad is arranged in the first opening. Thereby, the waterproof performance of the cable guide assembly is improved.

[0058] In addition, another aspect of the present disclosure provides a ceiling speaker device, which includes: a shell for accommodating a speaker, the shell including a lateral surface and a top surface; and the above-mentioned cable guiding assembly.

[0059] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the housing includes a recessed portion extending downward from the top surface for arranging a cable interface, wherein the cable guide assembly is pivotally connected to the housing to close or expose the recessed portion. Preferably, the recessed portion extends between the lateral surface and the top surface.

[0060] The recessed portion extends downward from the top surface, reducing the installation height of the cable interface, which is beneficial for the installation of the ceiling speaker device in a narrow space. In addition, when the recessed portion extends between the top surface and the side surface, a channel open to the side surface is formed at the edge of the shell. In this design, on the one hand, it is convenient for the bracket to fit closely to the top surface, and on the other hand, it allows moisture that may accidentally enter the shell to flow out from the recessed portion without forming water accumulation.

[0061] Figure 1 A ceiling speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown, hereinafter referred to as a speaker device. The speaker device includes: Figure 1 The cable guide assembly 10, the housing 20 for accommodating the speaker and Figure 1 A loudspeaker not explicitly shown, wherein the loudspeaker is arranged inside the housing 2. The housing 20 is cylindrical in shape as a whole. Figure 1As shown, the housing 20 has a circumferential surface 22, a top surface 24 and a housing flange 28 protruding outward from the circumferential surface 22. The circumferential surface 22, the top surface 24 and the housing flange 28 of the housing 20 together define an internal space, in which the speaker is arranged. The speaker works in a known manner and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] A cable interface 4 is provided on the top surface 24 of the housing 20. Figure 7 As shown, the cable interface is connected to the speaker arranged inside the housing 20. A cable can be inserted into the cable interface 4 from the outside, thereby establishing an electrical connection and / or a communication connection with the internal speaker.

[0063] In order to reduce the height of the cable interface 4, a downwardly extending recessed portion 26 may be provided on the top surface 24 of the housing 20, and the cable interface 4 is arranged in the recessed portion 26. Figure 7 As shown, the recessed portion 26 is disposed between the top surface 24 and the lateral surface 22 of the housing 20 , whereby the recessed portion is configured as a channel open to the outside on both the top surface 24 and the lateral surface 22 . This preferred design advantageously avoids the formation of water accumulation at the housing 20 .

[0064] In order to introduce and fix the cable, the cable guide assembly 10 is provided. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the cable guiding assembly 10 may include an L-shaped bracket 12 , a cable guiding connector 14 detachably connected to the bracket 12 , and a sealing gasket 16 .

[0065] The cable guide assembly 10 may further include a mounting bracket 128. The mounting bracket 128 is configured as a U-shaped frame including two mutually opposing sides and a connecting strip connecting the two sides. The connecting strip of the mounting bracket 128 is fixed to the lateral surface 22 of the housing 20, and the two sides protrude outward and respectively include a shaft hole. Figure 3 As shown, there are a first section 122 and a second section 124 perpendicular to each other, wherein the free end of the first section 122 includes two mutually opposed lugs 1222, and the two lugs 1222 respectively include through holes corresponding to the shaft holes. The pivot shaft 186 passes through the shaft hole 124 and the through holes, thereby realizing the pivot connection between the first section 122 and the lateral surface 22 of the housing 20.

[0066] Of course, in an embodiment not shown, the mounting bracket 128 may also be replaced by a lug with a shaft hole that is integrally formed on the lateral surface 22 of the housing 20 .

[0067] The second section 124 of the bracket 12 is provided with at least one through hole at its free end for a screw to pass through. The second end 124 is threadedly connected to the top surface 24 of the housing 20 by means of a screw 184. The screw 184 is preferably a captive screw. An upturned section is also provided in the middle of the second end 124 so that an operator can manually grasp the upturned section to operate the second end 124 or even the entire bracket 12.

[0068] A first opening 1220 is provided on the first section 122, and a second opening 1240 is provided on the second section 124. Preferably, the first opening 1220 and the second opening 1240 are configured as circular openings of the same size and shape, so that the cable guide connector 14 can be selectively installed in the first opening 1220 or the second opening 1240 as required.

[0069] The cable guide connector 14 includes a hollow guide tube 140, and the guide tube 140 includes an inlet end and an outlet end opposite to each other, wherein the inlet end includes a radially widened tube flange 142, and the outlet end can pass through the first opening 1220 or the second opening 1240, and the extension degree of the guide tube 140 is limited by the mutual stop between the tube flange 142 and the bracket 12. Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the outlet end opposite to the inlet end includes an external thread 144. When the outlet end is inserted into the bracket 12, the guide tube 140 is fixed in the first opening 1220 or the second opening 1240 by tightening the nut 146 and the external thread 144. In an embodiment not shown, at least one hook may be provided at the outlet end, and the guide tube 140 is snap-connected to the bracket 12 through the cooperation of the hook and the edge of the first opening 1220 or the second opening 1240.

[0070] The cable guide joint 14 also includes a baffle 148, which can partially close the inlet end of the guide tube 140. To this end, the tube flange 142 at the inlet end of the guide tube 140 includes a flange extension 142a protruding forward, and the flange extension 142a can be constructed as an arc segment extending along the shape of the inlet end and includes mutually opposed threaded holes. Correspondingly, the baffle 148 is generally plate-shaped and includes a baffle flange 150 protruding forward. The baffle flange 150 includes a matching threaded hole opposite to the threaded hole of the flange extension 142a, and the adjusting bolt 182 is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the flange extension 142 a and the baffle flange 150 are passed through, and the closing degree of the baffle 148 to the inlet end is adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt 182 , and the cable is clamped between the flange extension 142 a and the baffle flange 150 .

[0071] It can be imagined that when operating the adjusting bolt 182, it is necessary to consider the accessibility of the adjusting bolt 182 by the tool. For example, when the cable guide connector 14 is arranged in the second opening 1440 of the second section 144 of the bracket 12, and the tail of the adjusting bolt 182 is facing the edge of the housing 20, the head of the adjusting bolt 182 is facing the center of the housing 20. This makes it extremely inconvenient to operate the adjusting bolt 182 with a tool, such as a screwdriver, and even difficult to operate it effectively. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the orientation of the guide tube 140 relative to the bracket 12. To this end, a tool such as a screwdriver can be provided on the outlet end of the guide tube 140. Figure 3 The directional protrusion 144a shown is provided with a first directional groove 1220a and a second directional groove 1240a at the edges of the first opening 1220 and the second opening 1240, respectively. Thus, the guide tube 140 is only allowed to be inserted into the corresponding opening of the stent 12 in a specified direction.

[0072] In addition, the cable guide assembly 10 further includes a sealing pad 16, wherein the sealing pad 16 can cover the first opening 1220 or the second opening 1240 in a sealed manner, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the cable guide assembly 10. The sealing pad 16 can be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, at least one elastic arm 162 is included. The elastic arm 162 has a buckle so as to clamp the edge of the first opening 1220 or the second opening 1240 when the sealing gasket 16 is installed on the bracket 12 .

[0073] In addition, a sealing strip 126 made of elastic material is also provided on the inner side of the bracket 12. When the bracket 12 is mounted on the housing 20, the sealing strip 126 is arranged between the bracket 12 and the lateral surface 22 and / or the top surface 24 of the housing 20, thereby further improving the waterproof performance of the cable guide assembly 10.

[0074] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cable guide assembly 10 is shown in a closed state and an open state, respectively.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 12 is pivotally connected to the lateral surface 22 of the housing 20 with its first section 122, and is screwed to the top surface 24 of the housing 20 with its second section 124, so that the cable guide assembly 10 covers the recessed portion 26 of the housing 20. In this case, the degree of closing of the baffle 148 to the inlet end of the guide pipe 140 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt 182.

[0076] like Figure 7As shown, the threaded connection between the second section 124 of the bracket 12 and the top surface 24 of the housing 20 is released, and only the first section 122 thereof remains pivotally connected to the lateral surface 22 of the housing 20. As a result, the bracket 12 is pivotally connected to the housing 20 as a whole, wherein the pivot angle can reach 130°. In this case, the cable guide assembly 10 is opened to fully expose the recessed portion 26 of the housing 20.

[0077] When the cable needs to be introduced, the threaded connection between the second section 124 of the bracket 12 and the top surface 24 of the housing 20 is first released by rotating the screw 84, so that the cable guide assembly 10 is in a Figure 7 The adjusting screw 182 is then rotated in one direction to increase the distance between the baffle flange 150 of the baffle 148 and the flange extension 142a of the guide tube 140, so that the inlet end of the guide tube 140 is exposed to a size sufficient to allow the cable to be introduced, so that the cable can be introduced from the inlet end of the guide tube 140 and led out from the outlet end of the guide tube 140. The introduced cable is then connected to the cable interface 4 arranged in the recessed portion 26. Finally, the second section 124 of the bracket 12 is fixed to the top surface 24 of the housing 20 again by means of the screw 84, so that the cable guide assembly 10 is in the open state. Figure 6 In this case, the adjusting bolt 182 can be rotated in the opposite direction as needed to reduce the distance between the baffle flange 150 and the flange extension 142a until the cable is clamped.

[0078] In this embodiment, the cable guide connector 14 is installed in the first opening 1220 of the first section 122 of the bracket 12, and the sealing gasket 16 is installed in the second opening 1240 of the second section 124. By means of the shape matching between the directional protrusion 144a of the guide tube 140 and the directional groove 1220a of the first opening 1220, the introduction tube 140 is inserted into the first opening 1220 with its flange extension 142a located at the bottom. In this configuration, the head of the adjustment bolt 182 faces upward to provide a larger operating space for the operator.

[0079] If the installation space is sufficient, especially if the height condition is good, the cable guide connector 14 can also be installed in the second opening 1240 of the second section 124 of the bracket 12 so that it is arranged on the top surface 24 of the housing 20, and the sealing gasket 16 is installed in the first opening 1220 of the first section 122 of the bracket 12. The position exchange of the cable guide connector 14 and the sealing gasket 16 can also be easily completed. To this end, first release the threaded connection between the second section 124 of the bracket 12 and the top surface 24 of the housing 20, and the bracket 12 is pivoted relative to the housing 10 to open, such as Figure 8As shown. Then, the connection between the cable and the cable interface 4 is loosened, and the cable is pulled out of the guide tube 140. Then, the cable guide connector 14 and the sealing gasket 16 are removed and their positions are interchanged so that the cable guide connector 14 is arranged in the second section 124 and the sealing gasket 16 is arranged in the first section 122, as shown. Fig. 9 Then, as described above, the cable is passed through the bracket 12 again via the cable guide connector 14 and connected to the cable interface 4 in the recess 26 of the housing 20. Finally, the second section 124 of the bracket 12 is threadedly connected to the top surface 24 of the housing 20 again, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 shown.
