A mesh hole 11 cooperating with the speaker 4 is embedded in the side surface of the base 1.

[0028] A control module 21 is arranged on the control board 2. A protruding column 22 is fixedly arranged on the control board 2 on one side of the control module 21. A push switch 221 is arranged at the top of the column 22. An upper cover 7 is threadedly connected to the base 1. A pressing structure that can elastically move up and down is arranged at the center position of the upper cover 7. An adhesive sheet 6 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the base 1.

[0029] The upper cover 7 is in the shape of a cylindrical barrel with a lower opening. A circular through hole 71 is embedded at the center position. Internal threads are arranged on the inner side surface of the upper cover 7. An annular boss 5 is arranged on the upper end surface of the base 1. External threads 51 cooperating with the upper cover 7 are arranged on the outer side of the annular boss 5.

[0030] The pressing structure includes a columnar slider 72 slidably embedded in the circular through hole 71 of the upper cover 7. A circular pressing plate 73 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the slider 72. The area of the pressing plate 73 is larger than the area of the circular through hole 71 (to prevent upward slippage). A plurality of vertical tension springs 74 are fixedly arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction between the edge of the pressing plate 73 and the inner top surface of the upper cover 7.

[0031] After the upper cover 7 is tightened, the bottom surface of the pressing plate 73 is in contact with the top surface of the push switch 221.
