Detailed Implementation

[0030] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] To reduce component size, current cameras often use a single speaker. However, improper speaker design during installation can affect assembly precision, potentially causing abnormalities in the speaker's sealing or sound production, resulting in quality defects. To address these issues, such as... Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a camera with a speaker 20, which may include a housing 10, a speaker 20, and a locking member 30.

[0033] The inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a horn mounting position, and at least one hook 11 is provided along the side of the horn mounting position. The hook 11 provided on the inner wall of the housing 10 can be specifically as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown; the camera housing 10 can be a modular structure, for example, composed of multiple separate housings, to facilitate manufacturing. The various functional components of the camera can be arranged and installed within the cavity enclosed by the housing 10. The horn 20 is located at the horn mounting position, with its first side abutting against the housing 10, and its second side having a support surface 21, such as... Figures 4-6 As shown, the hook 11 engages with the bearing surface 21 of the horn 20. The horn mounting position is used to accommodate and fix the horn 20. For example, multiple hooks 11 are arranged on the side of the horn mounting position. After the horn 20 is placed in the horn mounting position, the hooks 11 can abut against the bearing surface 21 of the horn 20, restricting the movement of the horn 20 in the vertical direction along the bearing surface 21. The bearing surface 21 can specifically be an annular structure provided on the second side edge of the horn 20 to facilitate the engagement of the hooks 11.

[0034] The locking member 30 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, and the locking member 30 is provided with a stop portion 31, such as... Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the specific structure of the stop part 31 can be designed according to the shape of the horn 20. The stop part 31 abuts against the bearing surface 21 of the horn 20. It can be understood that if the horn 20 is fixed by the hook 11 alone, the hook 11 may interfere with the horn 20 and cause damage during the process of locking the horn 20 into the horn mounting position between multiple hooks 11. Therefore, this embodiment adopts a fixing scheme in which the locking part 30 cooperates with the hook 11. For example, one or more hooks 11 can be set along a preset circumferential section on the side of the horn mounting position. The preset circumferential section can be less than or equal to half the circumference of the horn mounting position, so that it can be inserted from the opposite side of the preset circumferential section of the horn mounting position. The horn 20 is mounted on a pre-set circumferential section, which engages with the bearing surface 21 of the horn 20 to prevent interference between the hook 11 and the horn 20. This creates a stopping constraint on the horn 20. To further create a stopping constraint on the horn 20 on the opposite side of the pre-set circumferential section of the horn mounting position, a locking member 30 can be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, so that the stop portion 31 of the locking member 30 abuts against the bearing surface 21 of the horn 20, thereby limiting and fixing the horn 20 in the horn mounting position. It can be seen that in this embodiment, during the entire installation process of the horn 20, only the locking member 30 needs to be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, resulting in fewer installation steps and effectively avoiding damage to the horn 20 during installation. Figures 4-6 As shown, the speaker 20 in this embodiment can be a single speaker 20 that only retains the sound output part and has no rear sound cavity structure. Therefore, the structural volume of the speaker 20 can be reduced. After the speaker 20 is installed in the camera housing 10, the rear sound cavity can also be formed by utilizing the structure of the housing 10, thereby making full use of the structural functions of each component of the camera and improving the spatial compactness and integration capability of the camera.

[0035] Therefore, the camera with a speaker 20 provided in the embodiments of this application includes: a housing 10, a speaker 20, and a locking member 30, wherein the inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a speaker mounting position, and at least one hook 11 is provided along the side of the speaker mounting position; the speaker 20 is disposed at the speaker mounting position, and the first side of the speaker 20 abuts against the housing 10, and the second side of the speaker 20 is provided with a bearing surface 21, and the hook 11 is engaged with the bearing surface 21 of the speaker 20; the locking member 30 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, and the locking member 30 is provided with a stop portion 31, which abuts against the bearing surface 21 of the speaker 20. The locking component 30 of the camera allows the speaker 20 to have sufficient assembly space during the process of being locked in the hook 11, avoiding deformation or damage to local parts of the speaker 20 due to interference, thereby improving the reliability of the speaker 20 assembly; in addition, the hook 11 is wrapped around the side of the speaker mounting position, which can form a stable and reliable installation fit and structural limit for the speaker 20, thereby further improving the assembly quality and assembly accuracy of the speaker 20.

[0036] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a column 12, the column 12 and the hook 11 are arranged along the side of the horn mounting position, and the horn 20 is engaged between the column 12 and the hook 11; the column 12 is provided with a screw hole 121, the locking member 30 is provided with a screw 32, and the screw 32 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 121, and the stop portion 31 of the locking member 30 has a disc-shaped structure. When the column 12 is arranged along the side of the horn mounting position, it can be specifically arranged on the opposite side of the preset circumferential section where the hook 11 is provided. When installing the horn 20, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the speaker 20 can be inserted obliquely into the preset circumferential section of the speaker mounting position equipped with the hook 11, and then as shown... Figure 11 As shown, the horn 20 is pressed down to bring its first side against the housing 10. Since the pillar 12 lacks the hook-like structure of the latch 11, interference or contact with the horn 20 is avoided. Figure 12 As shown, the screw 32 of the locking member 30 is then screwed into the screw hole 121 of the column 12, connecting the locking member 30 to the inner wall of the housing 10, and making the disc-shaped structure of the locking member 30 abut against the bearing surface 21 of the horn 20. Under the limiting action of the hook 11 and the locking member 30, the horn 20 is fixed in the horn mounting position. By wrapping the column 12 and the hook 11 around the side of the horn mounting position, the assembly quality and assembly accuracy of the horn 20 can be further improved. In this embodiment, the locking member 30 can specifically be a pan head screw. Preferably, there are two hooks 11 and one column 12. The two hooks 11 and one column 12 are evenly arranged circumferentially along the side of the horn mounting position, for example, arranged at an alternating angle of 120 degrees. Under the premise of ensuring a reliable limiting constraint on the horn 20, the component production cost is reduced and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0037] During the use of the camera, it may be exposed to rain. To reduce the risk of the speaker 20 being soaked in rainwater, causing abnormal sound quality or damage, optionally, in one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the speaker mounting position is provided with a base 13, and a contact surface 131 is formed on the top of the base 13. The first side of the speaker 20 abuts against the contact surface 131. It can be understood that by setting the base 13 at the speaker mounting position, and because the base 13 has a preset height, the speaker 20 has a certain mounting height relative to the bottom of the base 13. Thus, when an outdoor camera is exposed to rainwater for a period of time, even if a certain amount of water remains at the bottom of the base 13, it will not affect the speaker 20 located on top of the base 13, thereby improving the reliability of the speaker 20 in harsh environments. Specifically, the base 13 can be a frustum-shaped or cylindrical structure set on the inner wall of the housing 10. The hook 11 and the column 12 can also be set on the base 13 to improve the structural compactness of the components.

[0038] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a ring-shaped rubber pad 22 is provided on the first side of the speaker 20, and the rubber pad 22 abuts against the contact surface 131. This rubber pad 22 can ensure the sound quality of the speaker 20 and prevent sound leakage. It also helps to prevent dust and water from entering between the first side of the speaker 20 and the contact surface 131 of the base 13. The rubber pad 22 can be adapted to the shape of the speaker 20, for example, it can be ring-shaped, and it is made of elastic material such as silicone, so that the speaker 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10 form an elastic abutment effect, and do not wobble after installation.

[0039] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a groove 132 is provided at the center of the top of the base 13. A first transition surface 133 is formed between the bottom of the groove 132 and the contact surface 131. The first transition surface 133 is either inclined or curved. When the speaker 20 is inserted obliquely into the preset circumferential section with the hook 11 at the speaker mounting position, the groove 132 can form a clearance space, reducing the risk of contact interference to the speaker 20. Multiple through holes can be formed at the bottom of the groove 132 to facilitate the speaker 20 to transmit sound to the outside. In addition, the first transition surface 133 is formed between the bottom of the groove 132 and the contact surface 131 of the top of the base 13. This first transition surface 133 is either inclined or curved, which can guide the speaker 20 to be installed in the preset position, avoiding deformation or folding of the speaker 20's fragile parts, such as the rubber pad 22, due to force, which would affect the speaker 20's sound effect. It can be seen that the design of the first transition surface 133 is conducive to further improving the assembly quality and assembly accuracy of the speaker 20.

[0040] To improve the waterproof performance of the speaker 20, optionally, in one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a second transition surface 134 is formed from the edge of the contact surface 131 of the base 13 toward the bottom of the base 13. The second transition surface 134 is either a slope or an arc surface. This second transition surface 134 can guide rainwater from the top of the base 13 toward the bottom of the base 13, preventing water accumulation on the top of the base 13 and thus avoiding any impact on the speaker 20 installed on the top of the base 13.

[0041] On the side of the speaker mounting position, the hook 11 and the locking member 30 can limit the speaker 20. Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the inner wall of the housing 10 is also provided with a stop structure 14. The stop structure 14 and the hook 11 are arranged along the side of the speaker mounting position; the speaker is held between the stop structure and the hook. The stop structure 14 can be plate-shaped or column-shaped, etc., and forms a more stable and reliable auxiliary limit for the speaker 20 on the side of the speaker mounting position. For example, the stop structure 14, the hook 11, and the column 12 can be circumferentially wrapped around the side of the speaker mounting position, thereby further ensuring the assembly quality and assembly accuracy of the speaker 20. The processing of the stop structure 14 is simpler and more economical than that of the hook 11. Under the premise of ensuring the installation effect of the speaker 20, it is beneficial to reduce the number of hooks 11 and reduce the component cost of the camera.

[0042] By mounting the horn 20 on the base 13 and providing a second transition surface 134 and other guiding structures on the base 13, the horn 20's ability to resist rainwater that has intruded into the horn mounting location can be effectively improved. Furthermore, to prevent rainwater from intruding into the horn mounting location, optionally, in one embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a cover plate 15 is also provided inside the housing 10, covering the upper part of the second side of the speaker 20. It can be understood that by placing the cover plate 15 above the second side of the speaker 20, i.e., above the speaker mounting position, it can prevent rainwater from falling into the speaker mounting position, thus preventing rainwater from intruding into the speaker mounting position at the source. The cover plate 15 can be an arc-shaped plate connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. In some embodiments, drainage grooves or drainage holes can be further provided at appropriate positions on the housing 10 or the cover plate 15 to promptly drain rainwater. Therefore, the cover plate 15 further enhances the waterproof capability of the camera speaker 20.

[0043] When the locking member 30 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, for example, when the locking member 30 is threaded to the column 12 on the inner wall of the housing 10, in order to provide operating space for the installation tool, optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the cover plate 15 is provided with a notch 151 or a through hole along the extension direction of the column 12, or the housing 10 is formed with a channel along the extension direction of the column 12. In this way, the shank of the installation tool, such as a screwdriver, can be inserted through the notch 151 or the through hole of the cover plate 15 to screw the locking member 30 into the threaded hole 121 of the column 12; in some embodiments, for example, the structure of the camera may be small, and the housing 10 can be designed to have a channel along the extension direction of the column 12, so that the installation tool can be inserted from the outside of the housing 10 along the channel to screw the locking member 30 into the threaded hole 121 of the column 12, thereby ensuring the assembly efficiency of the speaker 20.

[0044] Since the speaker 20 needs to be connected to the electrical components of the camera via a cable, to ensure that the speaker 20 cable does not interfere with other structures such as the hook 11, column 12, stop structure 14, etc. during speaker 20 installation, optionally, in one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the speaker 20 is provided with a first anti-mistake structure 23, and the inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a second anti-mistake structure 16. The first anti-mistake structure 23 and the second anti-mistake structure 16 are used to align the first anti-mistake structure 23 and the second anti-mistake structure 16 when the speaker 20 is installed on the housing 10. It can be understood that the alignment design of the first anti-mistake structure 23 and the second anti-mistake structure 16 can ensure that the speaker 20 has a definite cable exit position relative to the housing 10, avoiding interference between the cable and other structures that would affect the installation effect, thereby ensuring the assembly quality and assembly accuracy of the speaker 20. The first anti-mistake structure 23 and the second anti-mistake structure 16 can be specifically easily identifiable features such as protrusions or indicator arrows. For example, the first anti-mistake structure 23 can be a protrusion protruding outward from the edge of the rubber pad 22 of the speaker 20, and the second anti-mistake structure 16 can be an indicator arrow formed by injection molding on the side wall of the base 13. This embodiment does not limit this; Figures 9-12 As shown, when the speaker 20 is installed on the housing 10, the first anti-foolproof structure 23 and the second anti-foolproof structure 16 are aligned so that the speaker 20 has a defined cable exit position relative to the housing 10, avoiding cable squeezing and interference with other structures, ensuring the consistency of product assembly, and improving assembly quality and assembly accuracy.
