As the terminal of the entire audio system, its function is to convert audio electrical energy into corresponding sound energy and radiate the sound signal into space. The sound-emitting element in the speaker is a speaker, also called a loudspeaker. The speaker is fixed to the speaker body, and the speaker body has a sound outlet. The speaker emits sound toward the sound outlet of the speaker body. Speakers have gradually become one of the indispensable electronic products in people's lives. With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for audio-visual electronic products.

Therefore, it is very suitable for installation on electronic products such as small-sized multi-functional speakers.

[0004] A multifunctional smart speaker disclosed in the related technology includes a box body, a base, wheels and a remote control handle, the wheels are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, brake pads are fixedly installed on the wheels, the box body is fixedly installed on the top of the base, a display screen is fixedly installed on the outside of the box body, a voice recognition device is fixedly installed on the bottom of the display screen, a speaker is fixedly installed on the bottom of the voice recognition device, a monitoring device is fixedly installed on the top of the box body, a number of glare lights are fixedly installed on the side walls on both sides of the inside of the box body, a number of lamp beads are fixedly installed inside the glare lights, power wires are fixedly connected between the several glare lights, a number of control buttons are fixedly installed on the outside of the remote control handle, a control joystick is fixedly installed at the bottom of the control buttons, and a vibration sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the remote control handle.
