[0026] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] The present utility model provides a passive radiator speaker with replaceable counterweights, as Figures 1-7 shown, including a box body 1 with an accommodation cavity, an active sound - generating unit 2, a circuit board 3, and a battery pack 4; the active sound - generating unit 2, the circuit board 3, and the battery pack 4 are all arranged in the accommodation cavity of the box body 1; the active sound - generating unit 2 and the battery pack 4 are both electrically connected to the circuit board 3; a diaphragm 5 is provided on the box body 1, the inner wall of the diaphragm 5 communicates with the accommodation cavity of the box body 1, and a counterweight 6 is magnetically connected to the outer wall of the diaphragm 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is made of plastic or plywood, and through - holes are provided at positions on the side walls corresponding to the active sound - generating unit 2 and the diaphragm 5 for installing the corresponding active sound - generating unit 2 or diaphragm 5. The specific installation method is prior art and will not be elaborated here. The active sound - generating unit 2 includes a woofer and a tweeter, which are respectively installed at the lower end and the upper end of the front of the box body 1. The circuit board 3 is a power amplifier board integrating a charging function in the prior art, which can be externally powered to charge the battery pack 4 and is electrically connected to the active sound - generating unit 2 and the battery pack 4 through wires. The battery pack 4 is composed of two 18650 lithium batteries and is installed inside the box body 1 by existing fixing methods such as hot melt adhesive, and is close to the rear baffle of the box body 1. The edge of the diaphragm 5 is hermetically bonded to the left and right side walls of the box body 1 by an adhesive. A counterweight 6 (the counterweight 6 also serves as a decorative part) is magnetically adsorbed on the outer wall of the diaphragm 5. The counterweight 6 can be separated from the diaphragm 5, but has sufficient adsorption force to ensure that it will not fall during the process of listening to music. The number of counterweights 6 is multiple, and the main difference lies in their respective weights, such as 10 grams, 20 grams, 30 grams, 50 grams, etc., for adapting to different music types, and users can select according to their subjective feelings. The general rule is: when listening to rock and heavy - metal music, use a heavier counterweight 6; when listening to electronic, pop, and pure - tone music, use a lighter counterweight 6.

[0029] The present utility model installs the counterweight 6 on the diaphragm 5 by magnetic adsorption. Users can quickly replace the corresponding counterweight 6 according to different music types being played, so that the passive radiator formed by the box body 1, the diaphragm 5, and the counterweight 6 makes a suitable instantaneous response following the vibration of the active sound - generating unit 2, thereby improving the bass effect of the speaker.

[0030] In another embodiment, the counterweight 6 is formed by a metal stamping and hollowing process and is processed on the surface according to appearance requirements. The hollowed - out part is filled with a light - transmissive material in a composite manner, making the product light - transmissive and increasing the metallic feeling of the exposed part of the product.

[0031] Further, a first magnetic member 51 is inlaid on the outer wall of the diaphragm 5, and a second magnetic member 61 is inlaid on the inner wall of the weight member 6 close to the diaphragm 5. The first magnetic member 51 is magnetically connected to the second magnetic member 61.

[0032] As Figures 4-7 shown, the outer wall of the diaphragm 5 has a groove, and the first magnetic member 51 is tightly inlaid in the groove; the inner wall of the weight member 6 close to the diaphragm 5 also has a groove, and the second magnetic member 61 is also tightly inlaid in the groove; when the first magnetic member 51 and the second magnetic member 61 are close to each other, they can be adsorbed together.

[0033] In addition, a strong double-sided adhesive layer can also be pasted on the bottom surface of the first magnetic member 51 in contact with the diaphragm 5 to enhance the firmness between the first magnetic member 51 and the diaphragm 5. Similarly, a strong double-sided adhesive layer can also be pasted on the bottom surface of the second magnetic member 61 in contact with the weight member 6 to enhance the firmness between the second magnetic member 61 and the weight member 6. Both the first magnetic member 51 and the second magnetic member 61 are circular rings, and the automatic alignment function can be realized.

[0034] In the present utility model, the weight member 6 is installed on the diaphragm 5 by a magnetic adsorption scheme. Compared with other detachable methods (such as by interference fit), when the user replaces the weight member 6, the weight member 6 can achieve an automatic positioning effect without visual alignment, which is more convenient and fast.

[0035] Further, both the first magnetic member 51 and the second magnetic member 61 are magnets; or the first magnetic member 51 is a magnet and the second magnetic member 61 is a hardware member; or the first magnetic member 51 is a hardware member and the second magnetic member 61 is a magnet.

[0036] Specifically, at least one of the first magnetic member 51 and the second magnetic member 61 is a magnet, and the other can be a magnet or a hardware member that can be adsorbed by a magnet. The hardware member is mainly made of metals such as iron, cobalt, nickel or their alloys.

[0037] Further, a weight identifier 62 for displaying the self-weight of the weight member 6 is provided on the outer wall of the weight member 6.

[0038] As Figure 7 shown, the weight identifier 62 shows the self-weight of the weight member 6, such as 10 grams, 20 grams, 30 grams, 50 grams, etc., which can be set according to actual needs. This setting facilitates the user to quickly find the weight member 6 with the target weight.

[0039] Further, a music identifier 63 for displaying the music type suitable for the weight member 6 is provided on the outer wall of the weight member 6.

[0040] As Figure 7As shown, the music identifier 63 indicates which types of music the counterweight 6 is generally applicable to. For example, if it is marked "Rock", it means that the counterweight 6 is suitable for use when listening to rock music. The music identifier 63 can also be used in combination with the weight identifier 62. For example, "30 grams, Rock" means that the counterweight 6 is suitable for use when listening to light rock music, and "40 grams, Rock" means that the counterweight 6 is suitable for use when listening to heavy rock music. This setting facilitates the user to quickly find the counterweight 6 of the target type that matches the music type.

[0041] Furthermore, the cabinet 1 includes an inner liner 11 made of a light-transmitting material and a metal outer shell 12; the metal outer shell 12 is sleeved on the inner liner 11; a diaphragm hole 111 communicating with the accommodation cavity is formed on the inner liner 11, and the edge of the diaphragm 5 is hermetically arranged on the diaphragm hole 111; a counterweight hole 121 is formed at a position corresponding to the diaphragm hole 111 on the metal outer shell 12, and there is a light-transmitting gap between the edge of the counterweight 6 and the inner wall of the counterweight hole 121; a light-emitting chip board 7 is arranged in the accommodation cavity of the cabinet 1, and the light emitted by the light-emitting chip board 7 is transmitted outside the cabinet 1 in a lateral light-emitting manner through the light-transmitting gap; the light-emitting chip board 7 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3.

[0042] As Figures 1-7 shown, the inner liner 11 is injection-molded from a light-transmitting material such as PC. By etching textures on the mold, its surface becomes foggy, showing a foggy frosted effect of light transmission but not high light transmission. Diaphragm holes 111 for installing the diaphragm 5 are formed on both its left and right side walls. A large and a small through hole for installing a bass speaker and a treble speaker respectively are formed on its front surface, and its back surface is hollowed out to facilitate the installation of components such as the active sound generating unit 2, the circuit board 3, and the battery pack 4 in the accommodation cavity. The metal outer shell 12 is made of metals and their alloys such as aluminum and zinc, and its back surface is hollowed out to facilitate the inner liner 11 to be sleeved into its interior. The scheme of sleeving the metal outer shell 12 on the inner liner 11 to form the cabinet 1 makes the cabinet 1 present a unique metallic texture externally and a light guiding effect internally. The edge of the diaphragm 5 is hermetically bonded to the diaphragm hole 111 by an adhesive. The contour of the counterweight hole 121 is the same as that of the diaphragm hole 111, and there is a light-transmitting gap between its edge and the edge of the counterweight 6 (as shown at the position D in Figure 4 ), and the width of the light-transmitting gap is 3 - 8 mm, which can be set according to actual needs, preferably 5 mm. At least one light-emitting chip board 7 is installed inside the inner liner 11 of the cabinet 1, and a plurality of RGB light-emitting lamp cores are attached to the light-emitting chip board 7, which can emit various colors of light according to actual needs to meet the subjective needs of users and improve the user experience. After the light emitted by the light-emitting chip board 7 forms a light guiding effect through the reflection and / or projection of the inner liner 11 and the reflection of the counterweight 6, a soft light band is formed at the position where the light-transmitting gap is located, and the light will not irradiate outside the cabinet 1 in the direction perpendicular to the outer wall of the cabinet 1, that is, the light will not be in Figure 1shoots directly out of the cabinet 1 in the Y-axis direction, and its optical path diagram can be referred to Figure 8 . This structural setting avoids the direct light of the ambient light formed by the soft light band from directly shining into the user's eyes, improves the experience, and overcomes the problem that the light-emitting unit of the light-emitting speaker disclosed in the patents with publication numbers CN216408857U3 and CN215808308U emits light in a direct-emitting manner (the light-emitting direction is perpendicular to the cabinet). When the user faces the speaker, the eyes are easily irradiated by the light vertically, causing discomfort.

[0043] Furthermore, the diaphragm 5 includes a transparent surround portion 52 and an adhesive portion 53 provided inside the surround portion 52. The weight member 6 has a foggy area and a highly transparent area, and the highly transparent area forms a brand identifier 64.

[0044] As Figure 7 shown, the diaphragm 5 consists of a surround portion 52 and an adhesive portion 53. The surround portion 52 is made of a light-transmitting silicone / rubber material, and the adhesive portion 53 is made of a hard material such as carbon fiber, generally a flat plate-like body, providing an adhesive position for the weight member 6. The first magnetic member 51 is embedded in the adhesive portion 53. The weight member 6 is injection-molded from a light-transmitting material such as PC or PMMA. By etching the texture at the position of the non-brand identifier 64 on the mold, its surface becomes foggy, showing a foggy matte effect of being light-transmitting but not highly transparent. The position of the brand identifier 64 has a highly transparent effect, and the brand name or logo of the speaker is displayed in a light-emitting manner. In addition, in order to make the light-emitting effect of the brand identifier 64 and the light-transmitting gap more transparent and distinct, a light-shielding coating can be provided in the foggy area of the weight member 6, specifically on the inner wall of the weight member 6.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any technical solutions falling within the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, several improvements and refinements made without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
