[0002] A speaker is an electronic device that produces sound, typically used to amplify and play audio signals. With technological advancements, smart speakers that simply play sound are no longer sufficient to meet user needs, leading to the emergence of smart speakers with microphones for karaoke. Existing karaoke smart speakers come with a built-in microphone for user use, and a storage structure is built into the speaker body for the microphone, making it convenient to store it when not in use.
[0003] In the prior art, the storage structure of a smart speaker is usually configured as a combination of a hook and a torsion spring. For example, a patent document with publication number CN116709080A discloses a microphone storage structure, which stores the microphone by moving the hook in a locking groove. However, when storing the microphone, the microphone needs to be pressed to the bottom. Then, the torsion spring drives the hook to hit the abutment surface of the locking groove, resulting in a large rebound impact sound, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.
[0032] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.
[0033] 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.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-15The present invention provides an intelligent microphone storage structure 100, comprising a placement assembly 110, a fixed base 120, and a spring 113. The placement assembly 110 comprises a placement body 111 and a locking member 112. The placement body 111 comprises a placement cylinder 1111 and a locking member 1112. The placement cylinder 1111 is connected to the locking member 1112, and the locking member 112 is rotatably connected to the locking member 1112. The fixed base 120 defines a receiving chamber 121. The receiving chamber 121 is provided with a locking groove 122 that cooperates with the locking member 112. The locking member 112 is disposed within the locking groove 122. The locking groove 122 and the locking member 112 cooperate to enable the placement assembly 110 to have a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the placement assembly 110 is fixed to the fixed base 120. In the unlocked state, the placement assembly 110 is movable relative to the fixed base 120. The spring 113 abuts between the fixed base 120 and the locking member 1112. Exemplarily, the storage structure of the present application only relies on the cooperation of the locking member 112 and the locking groove 122 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 locking member 112 and the locking groove 122 are relatively fixed without being acted upon by external forces, and the microphone is in the stored position at this time, and the unlocked state is defined as the state in which the locking member 112 and the locking groove 122 move relative to each other without being acted upon by external forces, and at this time the placement component 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 placement component 110, the microphone and the placement component 110 will move vertically downward, and finally enter the unlocked state under the action of the locking groove 122. 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. Specifically, in this embodiment, two locking grooves 122 are provided, and are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the accommodating cavity 121. It can be understood that two locking members 112 are also provided. The design of two locking grooves 122 is conducive to improving the stability of the placement component 110 during the up and down movement. By providing two opposing locking grooves 122, the locking member 112 is made more stable during the movement process, while ensuring the correct position of the placement component 110 in the locked and unlocked states, thereby improving the guidance and reliability of the entire structure. Of course, in specific applications, the number of locking grooves 122 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative, the number of locking grooves 122 can also be set to 1, 3, or 4.
[0035] In some embodiments, the storage structure can be a cavity for accommodating a microphone. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cavity is formed on the placement 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, and bottom surfaces of the smart speaker 200.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 15 The microphone storage structure in this embodiment realizes locking and unlocking between the placement component 110 and the fixed base 120 due to the provision of the locking piece 112 and the locking groove 122. When the microphone needs to be stored, by pressing the microphone and the placement component 110, the locking piece 112 rotates under the abutment of the groove wall of the locking groove 122, and at the same time, the spring 113 makes the locking piece 112 clamped in the locking groove 122 and unable to move. When the microphone needs to be taken out, the microphone and the placement component 110 are pressed again, so that the locking piece 112 rotates under the abutment of the groove wall of the locking groove 122, and at the same time, the spring 113 pops out the microphone and the placement component 110 to facilitate the user to take the microphone. During use, the storage structure of this application realizes the storage of the microphone by the locking piece 112 and the groove wall of the locking groove 122, without generating a large impact sound, and can achieve 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 abutment surface of the locking groove 122, 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 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.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 15 The locking member 1112 is formed with a fixing cavity 1112A, and a mounting protrusion 1112B is formed in the fixing cavity 1112A. The mounting protrusion 1112B is used to install the charging assembly 130. The charging assembly 130 is fixed to the mounting protrusion 1112B by screws. The charging assembly 130 is a charging probe, which can be an insertion charging probe or a contact charging probe. When the microphone is placed in the placement assembly 110, the charging interface at the bottom of the microphone contacts or inserts into the charging probe, thereby realizing the function of charging the microphone when stored. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative, the charging assembly 130 can also be configured as a wireless charging form.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 15 In one possible embodiment, the locking member 112 has a first state and a second state. When the locking member 112 is in the first state, the locking member 112 is fixed relative to the locking groove 122. When the locking member 112 is in the second state, the locking member 112 can move relative to the locking groove 122. For example, in the first state, the locking member 112 is tilted and abuts against the locking groove 122, so that the locking member 112 cannot move within the locking groove 122. In the second state, the locking member 112 is vertically arranged and does not abut against the locking groove 122, so that the locking member 112 can move within the locking groove 122.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 In one possible embodiment, the locking groove 122 includes a first abutting surface 1221, a second abutting surface 1222, a third abutting surface 1223, a fourth abutting surface 1224, and a fifth abutting surface 1225. During the rotation process, the locking member 112 sequentially abuts against the first abutting surface 1221, the second abutting surface 1222, the third abutting surface 1223, the fourth abutting surface 1224, and the fifth abutting surface 1225. For example, within the locking groove 122, the third abutting surface 1223, the first abutting surface 1221, the avoidance portion 1227, the sixth abutting surface 1226, the fourth abutting surface 1224, the corner portion 1229, and the fifth abutting surface 1225 are sequentially arranged. The third abutting surface 1223 is inclined, and the closer it is to the bottom of the locking groove 122, the role of the third abutting surface 1223 is to fill the space in the lower half of the locking groove 122, so that the locking member 112 has enough space to rotate. Figure 8 As shown, when in the locked state, one end of the locking member 112 abuts against the third abutting surface 1223 , and the other end of the locking member 112 abuts against the abutting corner portion 1229 , so that the locking member 112 is relatively fixed.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 In one possible embodiment, the locking groove 122 further includes a sixth abutting surface 1226 and an avoidance position 1227. The avoidance position 1227 is provided between the first abutting surface 1221 and the sixth abutting surface 1226, and the height position of the sixth abutting surface 1226 in the vertical direction is lower than that of the first abutting surface 1221. For example, the locking member 112 further includes a fourth abutting angle 1124. The setting of the avoidance position 1227 is conducive to the locking member 112 being tilted (i.e. Figure 5 Change to Figure 6During the tilting process), the fourth abutment angle 1124 is prevented from abutting any part of the locking groove 122, so that the locking member 112 can smoothly complete the dumping. By setting the avoidance position 1227, the locking member 112 can avoid direct contact with the abutment surface of the locking groove 122 during the dumping process. This can avoid obstruction or damage to the locking member 112 due to collision during movement, thereby improving the operational smoothness of the entire storage structure. At the same time, the design of the avoidance position 1227 helps to reduce the collision of the locking member 112 with the abutment surface of the locking groove 122 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] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one possible embodiment, the locking groove 122 further includes an opening 1228 for the locking member 112 to enter. The opening 1228 is in communication with the locking groove 122 and is disposed opposite the avoidance position 1227. Exemplarily, the opening 1228 is provided to allow the locking member 112 to enter the locking groove 122 during assembly or fitting. It is understood that, to facilitate installation, the size of the opening 1228 gradually increases in the direction from the avoidance position 1227 toward the opening 1228. In other words, this design facilitates the locking member 112 to enter the locking groove 122 through the opening 1228.
[0042] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 In one possible embodiment, the height position of the first abutting surface 1221 gradually increases in the direction close to the sixth abutting surface 1226. Figure 5 The status changes to Figure 6 In the state, the first abutting angle 1121 abuts against the first abutting surface 1221, and under the action of the self-weight of the locking member 112, the locking member 112 tilts toward the direction of the fourth abutting surface 1224. The tilting setting of the first abutting surface 1221 is conducive to controlling the tilting direction of the locking member 112, so that Figure 5 Change to Figure 6 During the process, the locking member 112 always tilts in one direction.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 In one possible embodiment, a corner portion 1229 is formed in the locking groove 122. The corner portion 1229 is disposed opposite the third abutting surface 1223. The horizontal distance between the third abutting surface 1223 and the fifth abutting surface 1225 gradually increases in a direction approaching the first abutting surface 1221. For example, the corner portion 1229 is formed by the vertex where the fourth abutting surface 1224 and the fifth abutting surface 1225 intersect.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 8and Figure 9 In one possible embodiment, the locking member 112 includes a first abutment angle 1121, a second abutment angle 1122 and a third abutment angle 1123. In the locked state, the first abutment angle 1121 abuts against the third abutment surface 1223, the second abutment angle 1122 abuts against the fourth abutment surface 1224, and the third abutment angle 1123 abuts against the fifth abutment surface 1225.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the locking member 112 further includes a rotational abutment surface 1125 . In the unlocked state, the rotational abutment surface 1125 is arranged parallel to the moving direction of the locking member 112 .
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 15In one possible embodiment, the placement body 111 further includes a spring 113. A first slot 123 is formed on the fixed base 120, and a second slot 1112C is formed on the locking member 1112. One end of the spring 113 abuts against the first slot 123, and the other end abuts against the second slot 1112C. Exemplarily, the spring 113 is a compression spring 113, and the spring 113 abuts between the locking member 1112 and the fixed base 120. The spring 113 serves to connect and support the placement body 111 and the fixed base 120. Specifically, one end of the spring 113 abuts against the first slot 123 formed on the fixed base 120, and the other end abuts against the second slot 1112C formed on the locking member 1112. This arrangement ensures that when the placement assembly 110 is locked, the spring 113 provides the necessary support and stability, ensuring the microphone is securely fixed in place. In the unlocked state, the spring 113 allows the placement assembly 110 to move relative to the fixed base 120, making it easier for the user to remove or insert the microphone. This design not only makes the smart microphone storage structure 100 easier to operate but also helps reduce noise, enhancing the user experience. It should be noted that the second slot 1112C and the first slot 123 are designed to restrict the fixed position of the spring 113, ensuring that the spring 113 is always engaged between the locking member 1112 and the fixed base 120. Specifically, the second slot 1112C and the first slot 123 are both annular slots. The provision of the second slot 1112C and the first slot 123 ensures the stability of the spring 113 when stored. This structural design allows the spring 113 to be better secured in its designated position, preventing it from loosening or shifting during use. This helps improve the reliability and durability of the entire storage structure. In addition, considering that the locking groove 122 has an opening 1228, in order to prevent the locking member 112 from moving out of the locking groove 122 in the unlocked state, the height of the selected spring 113 in the natural state (not subject to external force) should satisfy the requirement that the locking member 112 is in the locking groove 122. Specifically, in the unlocked state, the position of the locking member 112 can be exactly at the position of the opening 1228, or the position of the locking member 112 can be slightly lower than the position of the opening 1228.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 4 to 14 , the use process of the microphone storage structure of this application:
[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, when the microphone is not pressed, the locking member 112 is at the top of the locking slot 122; Figure 5 As shown, the user presses the microphone downward, and the microphone moves downward, driving the placement component 110 and the locking member 112 to move downward along the locking groove 122 to the bottom of the locking groove 122; Figure 6As shown, the locking member 112 continues to move downward under the action of the pressing force and its own gravity. Since the first abutting angle 1121 abuts against the first abutting surface 1221, the locking member 112 is driven to rotate. At this time, the locking member 112 is tilted toward the fourth abutting surface 1224; Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the user no longer applies external force, and the locking member 112 moves upward under the elastic force of the spring 113 until the second contact angle 1122 contacts the second contact surface 1222. It can be understood that Figure 6 In the state shown, the elastic force of the spring 113 must be greater than the weight of the placement component 110 plus the microphone itself; Figure 8 As shown, the microphone and the placement assembly 110 continue to move upward, the first ground contact portion abuts against the third abutting surface 1223, the second abutting angle 1122 abuts against the fourth abutting surface 1224, and the third abutting angle 1123 abuts against the fifth abutting surface 1225, 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 locking member 112 moves downward, and then the fourth ground contact portion abuts the first abutting surface 1221, and the locking member 112 rotates under the pushing action of the fourth ground contact portion and the first abutting surface 1221. Figure 10 As shown, the microphone continues to press down, and at this time the rotating abutting surface 1125 abuts against the top angle of the first abutting surface 1221, and the locking member 112 rotates until the second abutting angle 1122 abuts against the sixth abutting surface 1226; Figure 11 As shown, the user no longer applies pressure, and the microphone and placement component 110 continues to rise under the action of the spring 113 until the rotating abutting surface 1125 abuts against the corner portion 1229. At this time, the locking member 112 will continue to rotate under the pushing action of the corner portion 1229; Figure 12 As shown, the microphone and placement assembly 110 continue to spring up, and the locking member 112 continues to rotate under the pushing action of the corner portion 1229 until it rotates to the position shown in FIG. Figure 13 The rotating abutment surface 1125 is arranged parallel to the fifth abutment surface 1225. At this time, the locking member 112 is in the unlocked state and can continue to move upward until it reaches the position of Figure 14 The locking slot 122 is shown in the top position.
[0049] This application utilizes a locking member 112 and a locking slot 122 to achieve locking and unlocking functionality between the placement assembly 110 and the fixed base 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 hook member to strike the locking abutment surface, 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] The second object of the present invention is to provide a smart speaker 200, comprising a speaker body 210 and the above-mentioned smart microphone storage structure 100, wherein the smart microphone storage structure 100 is connected to the speaker body 210. For example, in this embodiment, the microphone storage structure 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 are no excessive restrictions 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 component 130 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 component 130 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.
