[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-15The present invention provides a microphone storage structure 100, comprising a storage assembly 110, a base assembly 120, and an elastic member 1114. The storage assembly 110 comprises a storage body 111 and a retaining member 112 for the storage body 111. The storage body 111 comprises a storage cylinder 1111 and an extension plate 1113. The storage cylinder 1111 is connected to the extension plate 1113, and the retaining member 112 is rotatably connected to the extension plate 1113. The base assembly 120 is provided with a guide groove 121 that cooperates with the retaining member 112. The retaining member 112 is disposed within the guide groove 121. The cooperation between the guide groove 121 and the retaining member 112 enables the storage assembly 110 to have a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the storage assembly 110 is fixed to the base assembly 120. In the unlocked state, the storage assembly 110 can move relative to the base assembly 120. The elastic member 1114 abuts between the base assembly 120 and the retaining member 112. Exemplarily, the storage structure of the present application only relies on the cooperation between the clamping fixture 112 and the guide groove 121 to achieve the storage of the microphone. In addition, it should be noted that the locked state is defined as the state in which the clamping fixture 112 and the guide groove 121 are relatively fixed without being affected by external forces, and the microphone is in the stored position at this time. The unlocked state is defined as the state in which the clamping fixture 112 and the guide groove 121 move relative to each other without being affected by external forces, and at this time the storage assembly 110 can drive the microphone to a position that is convenient for the user to pick up. It should be noted that in the locked state, when the user presses downward on the microphone and the storage assembly 110, the microphone and the storage assembly 110 will move vertically downward, and finally enter the unlocked state under the action of the guide groove 121. That is, in the locked state, the microphone is in the stored position and is configured to be unlocked and popped out only when subjected to downward pressure.
[0034] In some embodiments, the storage structure can be a cavity for accommodating a microphone. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cavity is formed on the storage tube 1111, the cavity depth is greater than or equal to the length of the microphone, and the cavity includes an opening. Through the opening, the microphone can be inserted vertically or horizontally into the cavity along the length direction to achieve plug-in storage. A microphone fixing structure can be provided inside or outside the opening to secure the microphone after it is stored. The opening can be provided at any position of the smart speaker 200, including the top, side, or bottom surface of the smart speaker 200.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4The microphone storage structure 100 in this embodiment is provided with a clamping piece 112 and a guide groove 121 to realize locking and unlocking between the storage component 110 and the base component 120. When the microphone needs to be stored, by pressing the microphone and the storage component 110, the clamping piece 112 rotates under the abutment of the groove wall of the guide groove 121, and at the same time, the elastic piece 1114 makes the clamping piece 112 clamped in the guide groove 121 and unable to move. When the microphone needs to be taken out, the microphone and the storage component 110 are pressed again, so that the clamping piece 112 rotates under the abutment of the groove wall of the guide groove 121, and at the same time, the elastic piece 1114 pops out the microphone and the storage component 110 to facilitate the user to take the microphone. During use, the storage structure of the present application realizes the storage of the microphone by the clamping piece 112 and the groove wall of the guide groove 121, without generating a large impact sound, and can realize low-noise storage of the microphone, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. The technical solution of the present application eliminates the torsion spring. On the one hand, it helps to avoid the torsion spring driving the hook part to hit the groove wall of the guide groove 121, resulting in a large rebound impact sound, affecting the user's experience, and realizing low-noise storage of the microphone. At the same time, it can avoid the technical problem that the torsion spring fails after long-term use, resulting in the microphone storage structure 100 being unusable. On the other hand, eliminating the setting of the torsion spring is also beneficial to reducing the cost of the microphone storage structure 100.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 14 In one possible embodiment, the fastening member 112 has a first state and a second state. When the fastening member 112 is in the first state, the fastening member 112 is fixed relative to the guide slot 121. When the fastening member 112 is in the second state, the fastening member 112 can move relative to the guide slot 121. For example, in the first state, the fastening member 112 is tilted and abuts against the guide slot 121, so that the fastening member 112 cannot move within the guide slot 121. In the second state, the fastening member 112 is vertically arranged and does not abut against the guide slot 121, so that the fastening member 112 can move within the guide slot 121.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14In a possible embodiment, the guide groove 121 includes a first groove wall 1211, a second groove wall 1212, a third groove wall 1213, a fourth groove wall 1214 and a fifth groove wall 1215, and the clamping piece 112 abuts against the first groove wall 1211, the second groove wall 1212, the third groove wall 1213, the fourth groove wall 1214 and the fifth groove wall 1215 in sequence during the rotation process. Exemplarily, in the guide groove 121, the third groove wall 1213, the first groove wall 1211, the avoidance groove 1218, the sixth groove wall 1217, the fourth groove wall 1214, the corner portion 1216 and the fifth groove wall 1215 are arranged in sequence. Among them, the third groove wall 1213 is arranged at an angle, and the closer it is to the bottom of the guide groove 121, the role of the third groove wall 1213 is to occupy the space in the lower half of the guide groove 121, so that the clamping piece 112 has enough space to rotate. In addition, as Figure 8 As shown, when in the locked state, one end of the clamping member 112 abuts against the third groove wall 1213 , and the other end of the clamping member 112 abuts against the corner portion 1216 , so that the clamping member 112 is relatively fixed.
[0038] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 In a possible embodiment, the clamping member 112 includes a first abutting portion 1121, a second abutting portion 1122 and a third abutting portion 1123. In the locked state, the first abutting portion 1121 abuts against the third groove wall 1213, the second abutting portion 1122 abuts against the fourth groove wall 1214, and the third abutting portion 1123 abuts against the fifth groove wall 1215.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 In a possible implementation, the locking member 112 further includes a sliding side surface 1125 . In the unlocked state, the sliding side surface 1125 is arranged parallel to the moving direction of the locking member 112 .
[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the guide groove 121 further includes a sixth groove wall 1217 and an avoidance groove 1218. The avoidance groove 1218 is provided between the first groove wall 1211 and the sixth groove wall 1217, and the height position of the sixth groove wall 1217 in the vertical direction is lower than that of the first groove wall 1211. For example, the clamping member 112 further includes a fourth abutting portion 1124. The provision of the avoidance groove 1218 is beneficial to the clamping member 112 in the process of tipping (i.e. Figure 5 Change to Figure 6During the tilting process), the fourth abutment portion 1124 is prevented from abutting against any part of the guide groove 121, so that the clamping member 112 can smoothly complete the dumping. By providing the avoidance groove 1218, the clamping member 112 can avoid direct contact with the groove wall of the guide groove 121 during the dumping process. This can avoid obstruction or damage to the clamping member 112 due to collision during the movement, thereby improving the operational smoothness of the entire storage structure. At the same time, the design of the avoidance groove 1218 helps to reduce the collision of the clamping member 112 with the groove wall of the guide groove 121 during the tilting process. This design can effectively reduce the noise and wear caused by collision, and improve the durability and stability of the overall structure.
[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 5 , in a possible embodiment, the height position of the first groove wall 1211 gradually increases in the direction close to the sixth groove wall 1217. For example, the clamping member 112 changes from the state shown in FIG. 5 to Figure 6 In the state, the first abutting portion 1121 abuts against the first groove wall 1211, and under the action of the self-weight of the clamping member 112, the clamping member 112 tilts toward the direction of the fourth groove wall 1214. The inclined setting of the first groove wall 1211 is conducive to controlling the tilting direction of the clamping member 112, so that Figure 5 Change to Figure 6 During the process, the clamping member 112 always tilts in one direction.
[0042] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 In one possible embodiment, a corner portion 1216 is formed in the guide groove 121. The corner portion 1216 is disposed opposite the third groove wall 1213. The horizontal distance between the third groove wall 1213 and the fifth groove wall 1215 gradually increases in a direction approaching the first groove wall 1211. Exemplarily, the corner portion 1216 is formed by the vertex where the fourth groove wall 1214 and the fifth groove wall 1215 intersect.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one possible embodiment, the storage body 111 further includes a storage cylinder 1111, a clamping jaw 1112, an extension plate 1113, and an elastic member 1114. The storage cylinder 1111 is connected to the clamping jaw 1112, and the extension plate 1113 is connected to the end of the clamping jaw 1112 facing away from the storage cylinder 1111. The clamping member 112, the extension plate 1113, and the elastic member 1114 abut between the clamping jaw 1112 and the base assembly 120. Exemplarily, the base assembly 120 includes a base 122 and a guide plate 123. The guide plate 123 is mounted on the base 122, and the guide groove 121 is formed on the guide plate 123. The elastic member 1114 is a spring that abuts between the clamping jaw 1112 and the base 122.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 15 The base assembly 120 further includes a mounting base 124, which is fixedly mounted on the base 122. A guide plate 123 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 124. A sliding groove 1241 is formed on the mounting base 124. The guide plate 123 is slidably mounted within the sliding groove 1241. The guide plate 123 encloses the sliding groove 1241 on the mounting base 124 to form a sliding cavity. Specifically, the sliding cavity is in the shape of a square column. It is understood that the shape and size of the extension plate 1113 are adapted to match the sliding cavity. Of course, in specific applications, the cross-section of the sliding cavity can also be configured as an inverted trapezoid. Accordingly, the shape of the extension plate 1113 is adapted to match the shape of the sliding cavity. The sliding cavity serves to guide the extension plate 1113, ensuring that the storage assembly 110 always moves in a vertical direction. When storing the microphone, the guiding structure formed by the sliding cavity and the extension plate 1113 prevents the storage assembly 110 from getting stuck or shifting during its upward and downward movement, thereby further ensuring the stability of the microphone storage structure 100.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 15 A mounting cavity 1221 is formed on the base 122, and a mounting boss 1222 is formed in the mounting cavity 1221. The mounting boss 1222 is used to install the charging part 125. The charging part 125 is fixed to the mounting boss 1222 by screws. The charging part 125 is a charging probe, which can be an inserted charging probe or a contact charging probe. When the microphone is placed in the storage assembly 110, the charging interface at the bottom of the microphone contacts or inserts with the charging probe, thereby realizing the function of charging the microphone when stored. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative, the charging part 125 can also be set in the form of wireless charging. It can be understood that the guide plate 123, the mounting seat 124, the elastic member 1114, the charging part 125, and the extension plate 1113 are all arranged in the mounting cavity 1221.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 15The clamping jaw 1112 is provided with a first avoidance notch 1112A for avoiding the mounting boss 1222, and the mounting seat 124 is formed with a second avoidance notch 1242 for avoiding the mounting boss 1222. The first avoidance notch 1112A and the second avoidance notch 1242 are provided to prevent the clamping jaw 1112 and the mounting seat 124 from interfering with the mounting boss 1222 during sliding. It should also be noted that the base 122 also has a lower retaining groove 1223, and the clamping jaw 1112 has an upper retaining groove 1112B. One end of the elastic member 1114 engages with the upper retaining groove 1112B, and the other end of the elastic member 1114 engages with the lower retaining groove 1223, thereby securing the elastic member 1114. Specifically, the upper retaining groove 1112B and the lower retaining groove 1223 are both annular grooves. The arrangement of upper retaining groove 1112B and lower retaining groove 1223 ensures the stability of elastic member 1114 in the stored state. This structural design allows elastic member 1114 to be better secured in place, preventing loosening or displacement during use. This helps improve the reliability and durability of the entire storage structure.
[0047] The usage process of the microphone storage structure 100 of this application is as follows:
[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, when the microphone is not pressed, the clamping member 112 is at the top of the guide groove 121; Figure 5 As shown, the user presses the microphone downward, and the microphone moves downward, driving the storage component 110 and the clamping member 112 to move downward along the guide groove 121 to the bottom of the guide groove 121; Figure 6 As shown, the clamping member 112 continues to move downward under the action of the pressing force and its own gravity. Since the first abutting portion 1121 abuts against the first groove wall 1211, the clamping member 112 is driven to rotate. At this time, the clamping member 112 is tilted toward the fourth groove wall 1214; Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the user no longer applies external force, and the clamping member 112 moves upward under the elastic force of the elastic member 1114 until the second abutting portion 1122 abuts against the second groove wall 1212. It can be understood that Figure 6 In the state shown, the elastic force of the elastic member 1114 must be greater than the weight of the storage assembly 110 plus the microphone itself; Figure 8 As shown, the microphone and storage assembly 110 continue to move upward, the first grounding portion abuts against the third slot wall 1213, the second abutting portion 1122 abuts against the fourth slot wall 1214, and the third abutting portion 1123 abuts against the fifth slot wall 1215, and is now in a locked state. Figure 9 As shown, when the user needs to take the microphone, the user presses the microphone again, the clamping member 112 moves down, and then the fourth ground connection portion abuts the first groove wall 1211, and the clamping member 112 rotates under the pushing action of the fourth ground connection portion and the first groove wall 1211. Figure 10 As shown, the microphone continues to press down, and at this time the sliding side surface 1125 abuts against the top corner of the first groove wall 1211, and the clamping member 112 rotates until the second abutting portion 1122 abuts against the sixth groove wall 1217; Figure 11 As shown, the user no longer applies pressure, and the microphone and storage assembly 110 continues to rise under the action of the elastic member 1114 until the sliding side 1125 abuts against the corner portion 1216. At this time, the clamping member 112 will continue to rotate under the pushing action of the corner portion 1216; Figure 12 As shown, the microphone and the storage assembly 110 continue to spring up, and the clamping member 112 continues to rotate under the push of the corner portion 1216 until it rotates to the position shown in FIG. Figure 13 The sliding side surface 1125 shown is arranged parallel to the fifth groove wall 1215. At this time, it is in the unlocked state, and the clamping member 112 can continue to move upward until it reaches Figure 14 The top position of the guide slot 121 is shown.
[0049] This application utilizes a design that incorporates a latching member 112 and a guide slot 121 to achieve locking and unlocking functionality between the storage assembly 110 and the base assembly 120. This design eliminates the traditional torsion spring structure. This change not only reduces the significant rebound noise that can occur when the torsion spring drives the latching member to strike the wall of the guide slot 121, improving the user experience, but also ensures silent storage of the microphone. Furthermore, this design eliminates the potential for functional degradation of the torsion spring after prolonged use, thereby preventing failure of the entire storage structure due to technical malfunction. Furthermore, omitting the torsion spring also helps reduce the production cost of the overall structure.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 15 The second object of the present invention is to provide a smart speaker 200, comprising a speaker body 210 and the aforementioned microphone storage structure 100, wherein the microphone storage structure 100 is connected to the speaker body 210. For example, in this embodiment, the microphone storage structure 100 of the present application is applied to the smart speaker 200. Of course, in specific applications, it can also be applied to other audio devices, and there is no excessive limitation here.
[0051] When the microphone is connected to the smart speaker 200, it will cause howling if it is too close to the smart speaker 200. The smart speaker 200 will emit a harsh howling sound, which greatly affects the user experience. Especially when the smart speaker 200 stores the microphone, the probability of howling caused by the impact and friction sounds between the microphone and the smart speaker 200 during the storage process is higher.
[0052] Based on this, the microphone can be automatically shut down when it is close to the smart speaker 200 to prevent howling when the microphone is close to the smart speaker 200 or when the smart speaker 200 stores the microphone.
[0053] In some embodiments, the smart speaker 200 may be provided with a screen, and may also be provided with a movable structure and a screen storage slot. The movable structure can be used to close the screen so that the screen is stored in the screen storage slot. The microphone storage structure 100 may be provided below the screen. When the screen is closed, the microphone is completely covered by the screen and stored completely within the smart speaker 200.
[0054] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the microphone from howling when it is close to the smart speaker 200 or when the smart speaker 200 receives the microphone, the microphone can be automatically shut down when it is close to the smart speaker 200. Specifically, a sensing element can be set on the microphone and / or the smart speaker 200, and the sensing element can be used to sense the distance between the smart speaker 200 and the microphone, and generate a corresponding sensing signal after the distance between the smart speaker 200 and the microphone is less than or equal to a preset distance, and send the sensing signal to the control device of the microphone, or send the sensing signal to the control device of the microphone through the smart speaker 200, so that the control device controls the microphone to shut down. More specifically, the sensing element can be one or more, which can be a Hall element, a distance sensor, an infrared sensor, and any other single electronic component that can sense the distance between the smart speaker 200 and the microphone, as well as any combination of electronic components.
[0055] In some specific embodiments, the sensing element can be positioned at the opening of the cavity. When the microphone is inserted into the cavity, the sensing element can generate a corresponding sensing signal immediately upon insertion to shut down the microphone. Alternatively, the sensing element can be positioned at an end of the cavity away from the opening. Similarly, a corresponding sensing signal can be generated when the microphone is inserted near the sensing element to shut down the microphone. This can also prevent the sensing element from being exposed to the outside due to the opening facing outward, which could lead to degradation of the component.
[0056] In some more specific embodiments, the sensing element is a Hall element and a magnetic element, which are respectively arranged at corresponding positions of the smart speaker 200 and the microphone. For example, a magnetic element is arranged at a corresponding position of the microphone and a Hall element is arranged at a corresponding position of the smart speaker 200, or a Hall element is arranged at a corresponding position of the microphone and a magnetic element is arranged at a corresponding position of the smart speaker 200. The trigger condition of the Hall element can be that the detected magnetic field strength reaches a preset value. When the detected magnetic field strength is greater than or equal to the preset value, it means that the distance between the smart speaker 200 and the microphone is sufficient to cause howling, and the microphone needs to be turned off at this time.
[0057] In some preferred embodiments, a magnetic element is provided at the corresponding position of the microphone, and a Hall element is provided at the corresponding position of the smart speaker 200. Since users carry the microphone with them when singing karaoke, they may move to other places with strong magnetic field strength. If a Hall element is provided on the microphone, it may cause the microphone to shut down incorrectly, thus affecting the user experience. When the microphone storage structure 100 is a cavity, that is, the microphone is inserted into the cavity, the Hall element can be provided at the opening of the smart speaker 200 cavity or at the end away from the opening.
[0058] It should be understood that when the charging part 125 abuts the charging interface, there will be a change in the magnetic field. Based on this, the trigger condition of the Hall element can be set to detect a change in the magnetic field. When the Hall element detects a change in the magnetic field, it means that the charging part of the smart speaker 200 is in contact with the charging interface of the microphone. At this time, the distance between the smart speaker 200 and the microphone is sufficient to cause howling, and the microphone needs to be turned off. The charging part 125 is arranged at the end of the smart speaker 200 cavity away from the opening, and the charging interface is correspondingly arranged at the bottom or bottom surface of the microphone. The Hall element can be arranged near the charging part so that the Hall element can sense the change in the magnetic field caused by the moment of power-on.
[0059] The smart speaker 200 and the microphone may also be provided with a magnetic component, which is arranged outside the induction triggering range of the Hall element. The magnetic component is used to fix the microphone rather than trigger the Hall element.
