In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. The following is a more detailed description of the specific implementation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a handle 100 provided in an embodiment of the utility model is used to be assembled on a speaker body 200 so that the user can hold it and then move the speaker body 200; the handle 100 provided in this embodiment can also be rotatably arranged on the speaker body 200, so as to adjust the angle of the handle 100 relative to the speaker body 200 in different states; the handle 100 provided in this embodiment can solve the problem of high assembly difficulty caused by processing errors, and at the same time make the user feel high consistency when operating the handle 100; the following is explained through specific implementation methods:

[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the handle 100 of this embodiment includes:

[0044] A gasket 1, a cover plate 2 stacked with the gasket 1, a handle body 3 connected to the cover plate 2, an elastic member 4 arranged between the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2, and a locking member 5 connecting the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2; wherein, the gasket 1 is used to be fixed on the speaker body 200, the cover plate 2 and the handle body 3 can rotate around the axis of the locking member 5, the handle body 3 is used for being held by a user, the elastic member 4 elastically abuts against the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2 to provide friction, and the locking member 5 is used to change the distance between the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2 to adjust the friction.

[0045] The gasket 1 is a component fixed to the speaker body 200, so that the handle 100 can be connected to the speaker body 200;

[0046] The cover plate 2 is a component used to rotate with the gasket 1. The cover plate 2 is connected to the handle body 3. The cover plate 2 and the handle body 3 can rotate synchronously relative to the gasket 1 around the axis, that is, the cover plate 2 and the handle body 3 can rotate relative to the speaker body 200.

[0047] The handle body 3 is a component for the user to hold. The user can lift the speaker body 200 together with the handle body 3, which is convenient for the user to move the speaker body 200. At the same time, the handle body 3 and the cover plate 2 can rotate synchronously around the axis.

[0048] The elastic member 4 is a member used to provide resistance when the cover plate 2 rotates relative to the gasket 1; the elastic member 4 is arranged between the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2, and the elastic member 4 elastically abuts against the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2 respectively, so that the elastic member 4 can provide friction to the cover plate 2 and the gasket 1, so that the cover plate 2 and the gasket 1 are relatively stationary, or provide resistance when the cover plate 2 rotates relative to the gasket 1; in this embodiment, the elastic member 4 is an elastic ring;

[0049] The locking member 5 refers to a component used to adjust the distance between the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2; the locking member 5 connects the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2, and is used to adjust the distance between the two to adjust the force applied by the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2 to the elastic member 4. When the distance between the two is smaller, the force applied by the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2 to the elastic member 4 is greater, and the friction force that the elastic member 4 can provide is greater. Conversely, the greater the distance between the two, the smaller the force applied by the gasket 1 and the cover plate 2 to the elastic member 4 is, and the friction force that the elastic member 4 can provide is smaller.

[0050] The assembly principle of the handle 100 provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] Since the handle body 3 is made of linear material, the difference in internal stress during processing will cause differences in each shape. This difference includes bending angles that are too large or too small, twisting, etc., which makes each handle body 3 have errors when assembled on the speaker body 200, making assembly difficult. It also makes the resistance of each handle 100 when rotating relative to the speaker body 200 inconsistent, which leads to poor consistency in the feel when the user operates the handle 100. In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment performs assembly constraints along the axial direction of the rotating shaft that is consistent with the deformation direction of the handle body 3, corrects the deformed handle body 3 through the locking member 5, and after one correction, adds a damping structure, which includes a gasket 1 and a cover plate. 2 and elastic member 4, and then connect the handle body 3 to the cover plate 2. When different handle bodies 3 are connected to the cover plate 2, different handle bodies 3 have different distances between the cover plate 2 and the gasket 1 due to slight differences in shape, thereby resulting in different friction forces provided by the elastic member 4. At this time, the distance between the cover plate 2 and the gasket 1 is adaptively adjusted through the locking member 5, so that the friction forces provided by the elastic members 4 of different handles 100 tend to be the same, thereby improving the consistency of the feel of different handles 100 during operation. It needs to be further explained that the consistency of the feel of the handle 100 is mainly based on a calibration of the locking member 5. Without calibration, the deviation of the radial axis such as the rotation axis is large, and the rotation feels very poor.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, the difficulty of assembling the handle 100 due to processing errors is reduced, and the consistency of the feel of different handles 100 during operation is improved.
