[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-6, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an intelligent microphone storage and fixing structure 100 for an intelligent speaker, which includes a speaker main body 110, a storage component 120, and a cover component 130. The storage component 120 is disposed inside the speaker main body 110, and the storage component 120 has a placement channel 121 for placing the intelligent microphone 200; the cover component 130 is disposed inside the placement channel 121 to open or close the placement channel 121 to block the intelligent microphone 200. Exemplarily, there are two storage components 120, and one intelligent microphone 200 can be placed in one storage component 120. The intelligent speaker of the present application can store two intelligent microphones 200 in total. When the intelligent microphone 200 is placed in the placement channel 121, the intelligent microphone 200 will fall and push open the cover component 130 at this time, so that the intelligent microphone 200 continues to fall until the bottom of the placement channel 121. It can be understood that during the falling process of the intelligent microphone 200, the intelligent microphone 200 is blocked by the cover component 130, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the falling speed of the intelligent microphone 200. Compared with the traditional microphone storage structure, when the storage structure of the present application stores the intelligent microphone 200, two impacts with smaller forces are used to replace the traditional single impact with a larger force, which can not only reduce the noise generated during the storage of the intelligent microphone 200, but also protect the internal parts of the storage structure and its intelligent microphone 200, and extend the service life of the storage structure and its intelligent microphone 200. In addition, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the cover component 130 is generally disposed at the middle position of the placement channel 121, which is beneficial to achieving the maximum deceleration effect on the storage of the intelligent microphone 200. Of course, in specific applications, the setting position of the cover component 130 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative solution, if the height of the placement channel 121 is set as H, the cover component 130 can be disposed within the height range of [1 / 3H, 2 / 3H], and no more restrictions are imposed here.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In the smart microphone storage fixing structure 100 of the smart speaker in this embodiment, a movable cover assembly 130 is arranged on the placement channel 121, and the cover assembly 130 is roughly arranged in the middle position of the placement channel 121. When the smart microphone 200 is not placed in the placement channel 121, the cover assembly 130 seals the placement channel 121 to prevent foreign matter from entering the placement channel 121. When the smart microphone 200 is placed in the placement channel 121, the smart microphone 200 falls due to its own gravity and collides with the cover assembly 130 for the first time to open the placement channel 121. At this time, the descending speed of the smart microphone 200 slows down until the smart microphone 200 falls to the bottom for the second impact. Compared with the existing storage structure that directly impacts from the entrance to the bottom, the storage structure of the present application has a smaller impact sound and a smaller impact force, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of damage to the smart microphone 200 or the storage structure.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the placement channel 121 has an inlet end 1211 and an abutment end 1212 that are arranged opposite to each other, the storage assembly 120 includes a sleeve 122 and a base 123, both of which are installed in the speaker body 110, the inlet end 1211 is arranged in the sleeve 122, the abutment end 1212 is arranged in the base 123, and the cover assembly 130 is connected to the side of the sleeve 122 away from the inlet end 1211, and there is a gap between the sleeve 122 and the base 123. Exemplarily, when storing, the smart microphone 200 enters the sleeve 122 from the inlet end 1211, and pushes open the cover assembly 130 when reaching the bottom of the sleeve 122. At this time, the placement channel 121 is opened, and the smart microphone 200 continues to fall until it abuts against the abutment end 1212, completing the storage of the smart microphone 200. The spacing between the sleeve 122 and the base 123 is to provide space for the cover assembly 130 to move when it is removed from the placement channel 121 .

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the cover assembly 130 includes a mounting member 131, an elastic member 132 and a cover body 133, the mounting member 131 is connected to the sleeve 122, the cover body 133 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 131, and the elastic member 132 is disposed between the mounting member 131 and the cover body 133. Exemplarily, the elastic member 132 is a torsion spring. It can be understood that the gravity of the smart microphone 200 itself should be greater than the elastic force of the elastic member 132, so that the smart microphone 200 can rely on its own gravity to push the cover assembly 130 open. In addition, it should be noted that when the smart microphone 200 is placed in the placement channel 121, the elastic member 132 is under force.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the cover assembly 130 further includes a soft rubber part 134 which is nested on the cover body 133. Exemplarily, the soft rubber part 134 is made of a flexible material and is used to seal the sleeve 122. When the intelligent microphone 200 is not placed in the placement channel 121, the soft rubber part 134 abuts against the sleeve 122, sealing the sleeve 122 and preventing foreign matters such as dust from entering the sleeve 122.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the thickness of the soft rubber part 134 is greater than the thickness of the cover body 133. Exemplarily, since the soft rubber part 134 is deformable, when the intelligent microphone 200 falls, it will contact the soft rubber part 134, and the soft rubber part 134 is deformed by the impact force of the intelligent microphone 200, avoiding the rigid contact between the intelligent microphone 200 and the cover assembly 130, which is beneficial to protecting the internal structure of the intelligent microphone 200 and reducing the risk of damage to the internal structure of the intelligent microphone 200.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In a possible implementation, the storage assembly 120 further includes an ejection part 124 which is connected to the base 123. Exemplarily, the ejection part 124 is used to eject the intelligent microphone 200 placed in the placement channel 121, facilitating the user to take the intelligent microphone 200. The structure of the ejection part 124 is prior art, and reference can be made to the relevant content disclosed in the patent documents with the publication numbers CN116389967A or CN116709080A, and details will not be elaborated here.

[0041] Please refer to 2 and Figure 3 In a possible implementation, the intelligent microphone storage and fixation structure 100 of the intelligent speaker further includes a sealing part 140 arranged in the placement channel 121. Exemplarily, the sealing part 140 is a plurality of sealing rings arranged in the placement channel 121. When the intelligent microphone 200 is placed in the placement channel 121, the placement channel 121 and the intelligent microphone 200 are sealed through the sealing part 140.

[0042] Please refer to 2 and Figure 3, in a possible implementation, the placement channel 121 includes an inlet groove 1213 and a receiving cavity 1214. The inlet groove 1213 and the receiving cavity 1214 are in communication. The sealing member 140 includes a first seal 141 and a second seal 142. The first seal 141 is disposed in the inlet groove 1213, and the second seal 142 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1214. Exemplarily, the inlet groove 1213 is in the shape of an inverted frustum, and the receiving cavity 1214 is generally cylindrical. The first seal 141 and the second seal 142 are used to seal with the smart microphone 200 when it is placed inside the placement.

[0043] Please refer to 2 and Figure 5In a possible implementation, the smart microphone 200 includes a head 210 and a handle, the head 210 is connected to the handle, and the force exerted by the second seal on the smart microphone 200 is less than the weight of the smart microphone 200. Exemplarily, when the smart microphone 200 is placed in the placement channel 121, the head 210 is located in the entrance groove 1213, the handle is located in the accommodating cavity 1214, and the cross section of the entrance groove 1213 is trapezoidal, the cross section of the head 210 is trapezoidal, and the maximum diameter of the head 210 is greater than the diameter of the handle, which plays a role of limiting on the one hand, and is conducive to the smart microphone 200 using its own gravity to make the head 210 in close contact with the first seal 141. In addition, it should be noted that when the smart microphone 200 is placed in the placement channel 121, the first seal 141 contacts and seals with the head 210, and the handle contacts and seals with the second seal 142, which is conducive to improving the sealing of the smart microphone 200 and the placement channel 121 when placed. In this embodiment, three second seals 142 are provided, and the three second seals 142 are arranged at intervals in the accommodating cavity 1214. When the smart microphone 200 is placed, it contacts the first seal 141 and the second seal 142 in sequence to achieve sealing without air leakage. The multiple second seals 142 have multiple sealing functions. When contacting the cover assembly 130, the smart microphone 200 has already interfered with the sealing ring, and the sealing of the smart microphone 200 has been achieved when it is stored. When the smart microphone 200 is taken out, the smart microphone 200 is always interfered with and sealed with the second seal 142 without air leakage. When the smart microphone 200 is moved up to the cover assembly 130 for closure, the sleeve 122 is blocked by the soft rubber part 134, and there is no air leakage. In addition, the second seal 142 has another function, which is to further reduce the falling speed of the smart microphone 200. During the falling process, the smart microphone 200 contacts the second seal 142, and the second seal 142 generates friction on the smart microphone 200. This friction reduces the falling speed of the smart microphone 200. In conjunction with the cover assembly 130, it can better reduce the noise generated when the smart microphone 200 is stored, and reduce the impact force of the smart microphone 200 to further protect the smart microphone 200 and the storage assembly 120. It can be understood that the self-gravity of the smart microphone 200 should be greater than the friction of the second seal 142 on the smart microphone 200, so that the smart microphone 200 can fall smoothly during the storage process and will not be stuck in the placement channel 121.

[0044] Please refer to 2 and Figure 5 In a possible implementation, a hand grip groove 211 is provided on the side of the head 210 away from the handle. Exemplarily, the hand grip groove 211 is provided to facilitate the user to take out the smart microphone 200.

[0045] Embodiment 2:

[0046] Please refer to Figure 7 , compared with the first embodiment, the difference in this embodiment lies in the different structure of the placement channel 121. The specific solution is as follows:

[0047] Please refer to Figure 7 , the placement channel 121 is cylindrical. It is equivalent that the placement channel 121 in this embodiment only has the accommodation cavity 1214 of the first embodiment, without the entrance groove 1213, and only the second seal 142 is provided in the placement channel 121, and the first seal 141 is no longer provided. There are three second seals 142, and their functions are the same as those in the first embodiment. The shape of the intelligent microphone 200 is adapted to the structure of the placement channel 121 in this embodiment.

[0048] Except for the above structural differences, the intelligent microphone storage and fixation structure 100 of the intelligent speaker in this embodiment and its components are the same as those in the first embodiment above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.
