Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of audio playback device technology, and in particular to a portable integrated tape and CD player. Background Technology
[0002] Various audio players, such as cassette players, CD players, and cassette-CD all-in-one players, have been widely used for a long time to enrich people's entertainment lives. Among them, cassette-CD all-in-one players are favored by many users because they can play both CDs and cassettes and have good sound quality. A typical cassette-CD all-in-one player includes a housing, a door assembly, a cassette playback assembly, and a CD assembly. The door assembly is used to insert the cassette when pulled outwards. The door assembly usually includes a door bracket and a door face. The door bracket is mounted on the front shell of the housing, and the door face is mounted on the door bracket; the door face is an external component. As a typical structure, a spring is installed on the left side of the door hinge to open and close the door. Due to the spring's elasticity, the door bracket is pushed, causing it to shift towards the side without the spring. Visually, this manifests as the door face shifting irregularly to the right by 0.3-0.8mm. This visual shift not only affects the aesthetics but also gives a lower-end impression. In severe cases, it may cause interference between the door jamb assembly and the front shell, resulting in rubbing when opening and closing the door jamb assembly, causing inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a simple, reliable, practical, and aesthetically pleasing integrated tape and CD player that prevents the tape from shifting. Of course, this structure can also be applied to tape players.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a magnetic tape and CD integrated player, comprising a housing, a CD assembly, and a cassette assembly for loading magnetic tapes. The housing includes a front shell and an upper shell, the upper shell being assembled and fixed to the front shell, the CD assembly being assembled in the upper shell, and the cassette assembly being installed in the front shell. The cassette assembly includes a cassette bracket and a cassette face. Cassette shafts are respectively provided on both sides of the cassette bracket in the magnetic tape compartment of the front shell. The cassette bracket is assembled with the cassette shafts via its left and right support legs to form a rotatable structure. A spring is mounted on one of the cassette shafts, with both ends of the spring respectively locking the front shell and the cassette bracket. The cassette face is assembled and fixed to the cassette bracket. The feature is that: a limiting bone extending in a front-back posture is provided above the cassette shaft on the side without the spring, and a guide bone is provided on the side of the cassette bracket opposite to the limiting bone. The guide bone and the limiting bone are opposite to each other but not parallel, and the guide bone and the limiting bone abut against each other.
[0005] Furthermore, an arc-shaped rack for meshing with a gear on the front housing is provided on the upper part of the support leg of the card door bracket, and the guide bone is located below the rack.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer surface of the guide bone is an arc-shaped surface, and the guide bone abuts against the limiting bone through its arc-shaped surface.
[0007] Furthermore, the limiting bone extends horizontally in the front-rear direction on the side wall of the anterior shell, and the guide bone extends vertically, with the limiting bone and the guide bone making X-shaped cross contact.
[0008] Furthermore, a downward-protruding reinforcing protrusion is provided on the bottom surface of the rack, and the top of the guide bone abuts against the bottom surface of the reinforcing protrusion.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting bone and the anterior shell are an integral structure, manufactured by injection molding; the guide bone and the cardioid bracket are an integral structure, manufactured by injection molding.
[0010] This invention features a limiting rib on the side of the front housing located near the tape compartment, and a guide rib on the side of the door bracket opposite the limiting rib. The guide rib presses against the side of the limiting rib, ensuring that the door remains centered during opening and closing because the limiting rib abuts against the guide rib, preventing positional shift. This not only achieves a more aesthetically pleasing result but also prevents other parts of the door from rubbing against the front housing due to overall positional shift.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-8 The tape-CD integrated player includes a housing, a CD assembly 5, and a cassette assembly for loading tapes. The housing includes a front shell 1 and an upper shell, with the upper shell fixedly assembled to the front shell 1. The CD assembly is installed in the upper shell, and the cassette assembly is installed in the front shell 1. The cassette assembly includes a cassette bracket 2 and a cassette face 4. Cassette shafts 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the cassette bracket 2 within the tape compartment 11 of the front shell 1. The cassette bracket 2 is assembled with the cassette shafts 12 via its left and right support legs 21 and 22 to form a rotatable structure. (In this embodiment, the left-side door hinge) is equipped with a spring 3 (specifically a torsion spring). The two ends of the spring 3 respectively hold the front shell 1 and the door bracket 2. The door surface 4 is assembled and fixed to the door bracket 2. A limiting bone 13 extending in a front-back posture is provided above the door hinge 12 on the side without the spring (i.e., the right side). A guide bone 25 is provided on the side of the door bracket 2 opposite to the limiting bone 13 (i.e., the right side). The guide bone 25 and the limiting bone 13 are opposite to each other but not parallel (i.e., they are in cross contact). The guide bone 25 and the limiting bone 13 abut against each other. In this way, during the opening or closing of the door, the guide bone 25 slides against the limiting bone 13, thereby eliminating the space for the door bracket 2 to shift position. This ensures that the door surface 4 can remain in the center position after the door is closed, ensuring its aesthetics.
[0021] An arc-shaped rack 23 (a rack and pinion mechanism is a prior art structure) for meshing with a gear on the front housing 1 is provided on the upper part of the right support leg 22 of the cardinator bracket 2, and the guide bone 25 is provided below the rack 23.
[0022] The outer surface of the guide bone 25 is arc-shaped, and the guide bone 25 abuts against the limiting bone 13 through its arc-shaped surface. This can minimize the friction between the two and ensure smooth opening and closing of the door.
[0023] The limiting bone 13 extends horizontally in the front-back direction on the side wall of the front shell 1, and the guide bone 25 extends vertically. The limiting bone 13 and the guide bone 25 are in X-shaped cross contact, and their lengths are such that they always remain in contact when the door is opened and closed.
[0024] A reinforcing protrusion 24 protruding downwards is provided on the bottom surface of the rack 23, and the top of the guide bone 25 abuts against the bottom surface of the reinforcing protrusion 24. This can strengthen the rack 23 and prevent the rack 23 from deforming due to long-term use, which would cause the mating structure to loosen and affect the damping during opening and closing.
[0025] The limiting bone 13 and the front shell 1 are an integral structure, which is made by injection molding; the guide bone 25 and the cardioid bracket 2 are an integral structure, which is made by injection molding.
[0026] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
