[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0046] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a liftable speaker and a car according to the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a liftable speaker is proposed, comprising a speaker element 1, a speaker housing 2, a decorative component 3, a liftable component 4, and a drive component 6. The speaker housing 2 has a storage cavity inside. The decorative component 3 is installed at the top of the speaker housing 2 and has a clearance opening. The liftable component 4 and the drive component 6 are both disposed within the storage cavity. The liftable component 4 includes a liftable cover 41, a base 42, and a rack 43. The liftable cover 41 is installed on the upper surface of the base 42, and the rack 43 is integrally installed on the lower surface of the base 42. A decorative cover 5 is installed on the side of the liftable cover 41 opposite to the base 42. The decorative cover 5 is detachably connected to the liftable cover 41 by bolts. A storage space for placing the speaker element 1 is provided between the liftable cover 41 and the base 42. The liftable cover 41 and the base 42 are also detachably connected by bolts. The drive component 6 drives the rack 43 to move along the height direction of the speaker housing 2, thereby causing the decorative cover 5 to extend or retract from the clearance opening.

[0048] The liftable speaker in this application combines the decorative cover 5, base 42, and speaker top cover 413 of the prior art into a single liftable cover 41. Furthermore, the rack 43 is integrally mounted on the lower end face of the base 42, making the rack 43 and base 42 a single component. This simplifies the overall number of parts in the liftable speaker, providing a simple and low-cost liftable speaker. The height direction of the speaker housing 2 is... Figure 1 The up and down directions in the middle.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the decorative component 3 includes a decorative cover plate 31 and an ambient light component 32 disposed on the side of the decorative cover plate 31 facing the speaker housing 2, to provide the user with a better visual experience. A clearance opening is formed on the decorative cover plate 31, which protrudes from the side opposite to the speaker housing 2 and forms a raised portion 311. The raised portion 311 is located on the outer periphery of the clearance opening, and the decorative cover 5 covers the raised portion 311. When the lift speaker switches from a closed state to an open state, the lifting component 4 lowers and drives the decorative cover 5 upward, extending it out of the clearance opening. When the lift speaker switches from an open state to a closed state, the lifting component 4 drives the decorative cover 5 downward, retracting it from the clearance opening. At this time, the decorative cover 5 covers the raised portion 311, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance and preventing external debris from entering the lift speaker.

[0050] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the ambient light component 32 includes an ambient light body 321 and an ambient light holder 322. The ambient light body 321 is sandwiched between the ambient light holder 322 and the bottom surface of the decorative cover plate 31. Multiple limiting protrusions 312 are spaced apart on the side of the decorative cover plate 31 facing the speaker housing 2. Multiple first mounting ears 7 are spaced apart circumferentially on the side wall of the ambient light holder 322, and the first mounting ears 7 are correspondingly and locking with the limiting protrusions 312. Additionally, the ambient light component 32 also includes a light panel 323. The ambient light body 321 is annular, and the light panel 323, as an LED light source, is evenly distributed on both sides of the ambient light body 321, guiding the light beam into the ambient light body 321 at a certain angle, thereby making the light from the ambient light body 321 more uniform and improving the user's viewing experience.

[0051] When the lift speaker is on, the ambient light body 321 is illuminated; when the lift speaker is off, the ambient light body 321 is off. Similarly, two light panels 323 are sandwiched between the ambient light base 322 and the bottom surface of the decorative cover plate 31 of the light panel 323. It should be noted that the color of the ambient light body 321 is adjustable. In this embodiment, when the lift speaker is used in a car, it can be set to match the color of other ambient lights in the car.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting speaker also includes multiple guide rods 8 disposed within the storage cavity. The outer peripheral wall of the lifting cover 41 is also provided with second mounting ears 9 through which the guide rods 8 can move. There are multiple second mounting ears 9, each corresponding to one of the guide rods 8. All guide rods 8 extend along the height direction of the speaker housing 2, and their two ends along their length are connected to the top and bottom walls of the speaker housing 2, respectively. In this embodiment, two second mounting ears 9 are provided, located on the left and right sides of the lifting cover 41, respectively. This arrangement works well with the guide rods 8 for sliding adjustment, improving the stability of the lifting assembly 4 during lifting. Furthermore, the number of guide rods 8 and second mounting ears 9 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the rack 43 is provided with an elongated limiting hole 431 extending along the height direction of the speaker housing 2. The lifting speaker also includes a limiting rod 10, which is vertically inserted into the elongated limiting hole 431 and one end is installed on the inner peripheral wall of the speaker housing 2 to limit the range of movement of the rack 43 in the height direction of the speaker housing 2.

[0054] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the drive assembly 6 includes a drive motor 61 and a gear 62 coaxially connected to the drive motor 61. The drive motor 61 is mounted on the inner peripheral wall of the speaker housing 2, and the outer peripheral wall of the gear 62 meshes with the teeth of the rack 43. When the decorative cover 5 needs to be adjusted by moving up or down, the drive motor 61 drives the gear 62 to rotate, and further drives the rack 43 meshing with the gear 62 to move, so that the lifting assembly 4 rises or falls along the guide rod 8 to meet the user's adjustment needs. The drive motor 61 can be an integrated motor as in the prior art. The use of an integrated motor reduces the number of components used in the overall lifting speaker. Furthermore, this embodiment uses a gear and rack 43 meshing technology for transmission, which is simple in structure and highly reliable in operation. In addition, the lifting stroke of the lifting assembly 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the number of teeth on the rack 43.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting speaker also includes a control component placed in the storage cavity. The control component includes a control board electrically connected to the drive motor 61, an upper limit switch 201, and a lower limit switch 202. The control board is used to receive start and stop commands from the upper limit switch 201 or the lower limit switch 202. The drive motor 61 drives the gear component 62 to stop rotating clockwise or counterclockwise according to the start and stop commands. The control system is simple and reliable.

[0056] During the upward movement of the lifting module, when the lifting cover 41 contacts and triggers the upper limit switch 201, the lifting cover 41 reaches its highest point. The upper limit switch 201 then sends a stop command to the control board, stopping the lifting module. Similarly, during the downward movement of the lifting module, when the lifting cover 41 contacts and triggers the lower limit switch 202, the lifting cover 41 reaches its lowest point. The lower limit switch 202 then sends a stop command to the control board, stopping the lifting module. Both the upper limit switch 201 and the lower limit switch 202 are microswitches in the prior art, with a compact structure and small footprint.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the speaker housing 2 is also provided with a mounting base 30 for mounting external workpieces. There are two mounting bases 30, which are symmetrically arranged on opposite side walls of the speaker housing 2 to facilitate the installation and fixing of the speaker by raising and lowering it.

[0058] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the top surface of the lifting cover 41 is provided with a plurality of sound-amplifying holes 411, which are spaced apart around the center point of the lifting cover 41 to enhance the sound effect of the speaker element 1. Further, the lifting cover 41 includes a lifting cover body 412 and a top cover 413 disposed at the top of the lifting cover body 412. A decorative cover 5 is installed on the side of the top cover 413 opposite to the lifting cover body 412. The lifting cover body 412 and the lifting cover 41 together form a storage space for accommodating the speaker element 1. A second mounting ear 9 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the lifting cover body 412 for the guide rod 8 to pass through. A shock-absorbing pad 40 is also provided at the bottom of the speaker element 1 to reduce the impact of the speaker element 1's vibration on the rack 43's operation.

[0059] In this embodiment, a car is also proposed, including a retractable speaker as described above. Since the car employs all embodiments of the retractable speaker, it also possesses all the beneficial effects of the retractable speaker, which will not be elaborated upon here.
