Furthermore, existing portable speakers lack connectivity with vehicle computers and require pre-charged batteries, creating significant inconveniences. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a vehicle-mounted storage compartment for a portable speaker, so as to achieve stable storage of the portable speaker and facilitate removal.

[0005] Specifically, the utility model provides a car storage compartment for a portable audio system, comprising a storage compartment, and an audio fixing compartment, a screw drive assembly, and a gear drive assembly arranged in the storage compartment; the screw drive assembly is fixed to the bottom inner wall of the storage compartment; the gear drive assembly is arranged on the side inner wall of the storage compartment; and a take-out opening is provided on one side of the storage compartment;

[0006] A rack is provided on the bottom surface of the audio fixing bin, and the rack is engaged with the gear drive assembly; one end of the bottom surface of the audio fixing bin is movably connected to the screw drive assembly; the audio fixing bin is driven at a constant speed by the screw drive assembly and the gear drive assembly to move horizontally along the top inner wall of the accommodating bin to the taking and placing port, and then the audio fixing bin is differentially driven to tilt by the screw drive assembly and the gear drive assembly until one end of the audio fixing bin extends outside the taking and placing port.

[0007] The storage compartment can be fixed in the car and connected to the vehicle system to energize the internal screw drive assembly and gear drive assembly. The portable speaker is loaded in the speaker fixing compartment. In the initial state, the portable speaker is installed in the speaker fixing compartment. The screw drive assembly fixes the speaker fixing compartment by self-locking, and the upper gear drive assembly engages with the rack at the bottom of the speaker fixing compartment. When the user opens the speaker fixing compartment through the vehicle system, the upper gear drive assembly drives the rack at the bottom of the speaker fixing compartment by driving the gear with a linear speed of Acm / s, so that the speaker fixing compartment moves backward. At the same time, the lower screw drive assembly also moves slowly backward at a speed of A cm / s, and then drags the speaker fixing compartment to move horizontally and smoothly backward until the portable speaker is completely exposed at the take-out port of the storage compartment. The speed Acm / s is freely set by the user based on the in-car system.

[0008] When the portable speaker is completely exposed from the access port, the gear drive assembly drives the rack at the bottom of the speaker fixing compartment to continue rotating at a linear speed of A cm / s. After the synchronous screw drive assembly completes a fixed number of rotations at an initial speed of A cm / s, the drive speed of the screw drive assembly is switched based on the system setting, so that the screw drive assembly moves the tail of the portable speaker quickly at a speed greater than A cm / s, thereby causing the tail of the portable speaker to rotate downward quickly and enable the portable speaker to be lifted from the access port, making it convenient for the user to take out the portable speaker, until the user takes out the portable speaker, completing the complete removal process.

[0009] Furthermore, the screw drive assembly includes one or more screw transmission assemblies; the screw transmission assemblies are electrically connected to the vehicle battery. Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the screw transmission assemblies are two sets, one connected to each side of the rear end of the audio fixing compartment, and are movably connected to facilitate adjustment of the angle between the two sets.

[0010] More preferably, the screw transmission assembly includes a first drive motor, a screw mounting seat, a screw member, a sliding rod, a slider and a traction rod; the first drive motor and the screw mounting seat are respectively fixed to the bottom inner wall of the accommodating bin, the screw member passes through the slider, one end is connected to the first drive motor; the other end is connected to the screw mounting seat; the two ends of the sliding rod are respectively fixed to the screw mounting seat; the slider is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole, the screw member passes through the first through hole; the sliding rod passes through the second through hole; one end of the traction rod is rotatably connected to the audio fixing bin; the other end is rotatably connected to the top of the slider.

[0011] The portable speaker of the present invention is loaded into a fixed speaker compartment. The rear end of the fixed speaker compartment is rotatably connected to a traction rod via latches on both sides. Driving the first drive motor rotates the lead screw, driving the slider to move along the axis of the lead screw and the slider. The slider serves as a linear guide.

[0012] Furthermore, the angle between the audio fixing compartment and the traction rod is 100 to 160 degrees.

[0013] Furthermore, the gear drive assembly includes two or more transmission gear sets, each of which is engaged with the rack. Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, there are two transmission gear sets.
