Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] For modular speaker systems, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-3The system includes a main speaker 100 and three side speakers 200 detachably connected to the main speaker 100. The number of side speakers 200 is not limited to this embodiment; in other embodiments, there may be more than three side speakers 200 to form multiple speaker combinations surrounding the main speaker 100. The main speaker 100 is provided with a first speaker 110 for playing audio, a first wireless communication component 120, and a first power supply component 130. The first speaker 110 is located on the upper side of the main speaker 100 and can play vertically outward. The position of the first speaker 110 can be adjusted according to the placement of the main speaker 110. When the main speaker 110 is placed upright, the first speaker 110 plays upward; when the main speaker 110 is placed upside down, the first speaker 110 plays downward. A control panel 140 is provided on the side of the main speaker 100 away from the first speaker 110, meaning that the control panel 140 and the first speaker 110 are located at opposite ends of the main speaker 110 in the vertical direction. The main speaker 100 has multiple sliding grooves 101 on its outer side, and the side speaker 200 has a slide rail 201 that matches the sliding grooves 101. The main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200 have plastic shells. The slide rail 201 and the sliding groove 101 are integrally formed on the shells of the side speaker 200 and the main speaker 100, respectively. The side speaker 200 is connected to the main speaker 100 by sliding the slide rail 201 into the sliding groove 101. The side speaker 200 is equipped with a second speaker 200. The side speaker 200 is combined with the main speaker 100, and its second speaker 210 can play horizontally outward. After the three side speakers 200 are combined with the main speaker 100, the main speaker 100 can be placed on a table or the ground with the control panel 140 facing downward. When playing audio, the first speaker 110 plays upward, while the second speakers 210 of the three side speakers 200 play in different directions to the side. This allows the audio playback sound to spread from multiple directions or angles, enabling the audio playback to cover a wide range of usage scenarios, such as living rooms and offices, ensuring that users at different angles can clearly hear the audio content and guaranteeing the listening effect.

[0023] Furthermore, the main speaker 100 is provided with a first magnetic attraction component 202 on its side, and the side speaker 200 is provided with a second magnetic attraction component 202 that matches the first magnetic attraction component 102. The first magnetic attraction component 102 and the second magnetic attraction component 202 include magnets on the outer shells of the main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200 to achieve a stable connection between the main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200. The first magnetic attraction component 102 and the second magnetic attraction component 202 are respectively located at corresponding positions of the main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200. When the side speaker 200 slides after being inserted into the slide groove 101 by the slide rail 201, when it slides to the point where the second magnetic attraction component 202 approaches the first magnetic attraction component 102, the two attract each other, the side speaker 200 stops sliding and is positioned and attracted to the main speaker 100, preventing the side speaker 200 from sliding excessively or falling off when the main speaker 100 is carried and moved, and ensuring the connection stability between the two. The main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200 are respectively provided with matching elastic metal contacts to realize electrical connection and signal connection. The positions of the elastic metal contacts on the main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200 are corresponding. When the first magnetic attraction component 102 and the second magnetic attraction component 202 form an attractive connection, the elastic metal contacts on the main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200 are connected accordingly. After the main speaker 100 and the side speaker 200 are connected, it can be ensured that the side speaker 200 and the main speaker 100 play audio synchronously, and the main speaker 100 can supply power to the side speaker 200.

[0024] Furthermore, the control panel 140 has a recessed connecting groove 141 in the center. A hook 142 is detachably mounted on the connecting groove 141. The hook 142 is magnetically inserted into the connecting groove 141 to connect to the main speaker 100. When the hook 142 is installed on the main speaker 100, the assembly of the main speaker 100 and multiple side speakers 200 can be inverted and suspended using the hook 142. This allows the combined speaker to be suspended from the ceiling or beams of shopping malls, supermarkets, and other similar locations. When playing audio, the sound propagates outwards and downwards, providing a wide range suitable for broadcasting or music playback, thus avoiding the need for multiple speakers to meet broadcasting requirements in these locations. The portion of the control panel 140 outside the connecting groove 141 is planar to ensure the main speaker 100 remains stable when the control panel 140 is placed downwards. The control panel 140 includes a touch control panel and a display panel, allowing users to control the speaker's operation and monitor its status via touch buttons. If the hook 142 is installed on the main speaker 100 and its hook structure protrudes from the surface of the control panel 140, then the hook 142 needs to be removed before the speaker can be placed with the control panel 140 facing down. If the hook structure does not protrude from the surface of the control panel 140, then the speaker can be adjusted without removal.

[0025] Furthermore, the first wireless communication component 120 adopts Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies. The main speaker 100 connects to terminal devices such as mobile phones and computers through the first wireless communication component 120 for easy audio playback control. The first power component 130 includes a built-in rechargeable battery and a circuit board that connects to the control panel 140. The power module integrated on the circuit board allows the speaker to be directly connected to an external power source. When powered by the rechargeable battery, the speaker can be self-powered, ensuring flexibility of use. In addition to connecting to the main speaker 100 and transmitting power and signals through the main speaker 100, the side speaker 200 can also be equipped with a second wireless communication component 220 and a second power supply component 230. The second wireless communication component 220 adopts Bluetooth technology, and the second power supply component 230 has a built-in rechargeable battery. The side speaker 200 can connect to the main speaker 100 through the cooperation of the second wireless communication component 220 and the first wireless communication component 120. When the side speaker 200 is detached from the main speaker 100, it can be powered by the second power supply component 230 for independent use, or it can be wirelessly connected to the main speaker 100 through the second wireless communication component 220 to play audio synchronously, which can effectively improve the flexibility of use of the combination speaker.
