Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of smart speakers, and more particularly to a smart speaker with a microphone storage structure. Background Technology

[0002] A speaker is an electronic device that produces sound, typically used to amplify and play audio signals. With technological advancements, simple sound-playing smart speakers no longer meet user needs, leading to the emergence of smart speakers with built-in microphones for karaoke. Existing karaoke smart speakers come with a built-in microphone and feature a storage structure on the speaker itself for easy storage when not in use.

[0003] In existing technologies, microphone storage structures require a fixing mechanism to secure the microphone during use. These existing fixing mechanisms are typically purely mechanical structures consisting of a swing arm and a torsion spring, requiring manual pressing to store and retrieve the microphone. This process is cumbersome, inefficient, and prone to failure to lock or rebound due to angle compatibility issues, resulting in insufficient stability. Furthermore, the swing arm and torsion spring produce a clicking sound at the moment of locking, creating noise and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart speaker with a microphone storage structure, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing storage structures being cumbersome to use, inefficient, unstable, and generating noise during storage that affects the user experience.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, a smart speaker with a microphone storage structure is provided, comprising:

[0006] Speaker body;

[0007] A microphone storage assembly is disposed inside the speaker body. The microphone storage assembly includes a manual drive component and a carrier. The manual drive component is disposed opposite to the carrier. The carrier has a storage slot for storing the microphone. The manual drive component drives the carrier to reciprocate along a first direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the microphone storage assembly also includes a mounting base with a mounting groove, and the support base is slidably mounted in the mounting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the manual drive component includes a knob and a gear, the knob being connected to the gear, the support base including a support body and a rack component, the rack component being connected to the support body and meshing with the gear, and the storage groove being formed on the support body.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing base includes a lower housing and a guide post, the mounting groove is formed on the lower housing, the guide post is installed in the mounting groove, and the bearing base is slidably connected to the guide post.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing base includes an upper housing and an elastic component, the upper housing is connected to the lower housing, the elastic component is nested inside the upper housing, and the bearing seat and the manual drive component are both disposed on the lower housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed base has an upper abutment surface and a lower abutment surface formed on it to limit the range of movement of the support base.

[0013] Furthermore, the manual drive component also includes a fixing component, which is connected to the fixing base, and the fixing component is provided with a damping structure that cooperates with the knob.

[0014] Furthermore, the speaker body includes a rear housing, on which a mounting position for mounting the knob is formed.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting position is configured as a groove, the knob is placed in the groove, and the top surface of the knob does not extend beyond the opening end face of the groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the smart speaker also includes a screen, and the speaker body is provided with a slot for storing the screen, the slot having an opening.

[0017] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model will have the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The microphone storage assembly in this embodiment features a manually operated drive mechanism that raises and lowers the support base, thereby raising and lowering the microphone. The gears of the manually operated drive mechanism engage with the rack and pinion structure on the support base. When raising or lowering is required, the user controls the raising and lowering of the support base by turning a knob. When the user stops applying external force to the knob, the manually operated drive mechanism acts as a fixed structure for the support base, allowing for immediate movement and stopping. This overcomes the problems of existing microphone storage structures, which are typically purely mechanical structures using swing arms and torsion springs, and are prone to instability due to angle compatibility issues leading to failure to lock or rebound. In addition, it avoids the problem of noise generated during storage, thus affecting the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-12This utility model embodiment provides a smart speaker 300 with a microphone storage structure, including a speaker body 310 and a microphone storage assembly 100. The microphone storage assembly 100 is disposed within the speaker body 310 and includes a manual drive component 130 and a support base 120. The manual drive component 130 is disposed opposite to the support base 120, and the support base 120 has a storage groove 1211 for storing a microphone 200. The manual drive component 130 drives the support base 120 to reciprocate along a first direction. Exemplarily, the storage groove 1211 is cylindrical to accommodate the shape of the microphone 200. The manual drive component 130 drives the support base 120 to rise and fall, thereby causing the microphone 200 to rise and fall. At this time, the support base 120 slides within the fixed base 110. In this embodiment, the manual drive component 130 is rotated by the user applying force to it with their hand, thereby causing the support base 120 to rise and fall. Compared to a solution that uses an electrically driven microphone 200 for raising and lowering, the manual drive unit 130 provided in this application allows for a simpler structure, achieving the raising and lowering of the microphone 200 with a simple structure and low cost. Furthermore, waterproofing and automation structures are not required at this point. It should also be noted that "relative arrangement" refers to the location on one side along the length of the microphone 200. In this embodiment, the manual drive unit 130 can drive the support base 120 to either rise or fall. Of course, in specific applications, the manual drive unit 130 can also only drive the support base 120 to rise or only drive the support base 120 to fall.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the microphone storage assembly 100 is equipped with a manual drive component 130 to drive the support base 120 to rise and fall, thereby driving the microphone 200 to rise and fall. The gear 132 of the manual drive component 130 cooperates with the rack and pinion structure on the support base 120. When it is necessary to raise or lower, the user controls the raising and lowering of the support base 120 by turning the knob 131. When the user stops applying external force to the knob 131, the manual drive component 130 acts as a fixed structure for the support base 120, which can be started and stopped immediately. This overcomes the problem that the existing microphone 200 storage structure is usually a purely mechanical structure of swing arm and torsion spring, which is prone to locking and not rebounding due to angle compatibility issues, resulting in insufficient stability. In addition, it can also avoid the problem of noise generated during storage, which would affect the user experience.

[0040] The microphone storage assembly 100 also includes a mounting base 110, which has a mounting groove 1111, and a support base 120 is slidably mounted in the mounting groove 1111.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the manual drive component 130 includes a knob 131 and a gear 132, with the knob 131 connected to the gear 132. The support base 120 includes a support body 121 and a rack component 122, with the rack component 122 connected to the support body 121 and meshing with the gear 132. A receiving groove 1211 is formed on the support body 121. Exemplarily, the knob 131 is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 110, and the rack component 122 has a rack that meshes with the gear 132. The knob 131 drives the gear 132 to rotate, and the gear 132 causes the support base 120 to rise or fall. It is understood that when the gear 132 is not rotating, it can act as a fixing structure for the support base 120; if the gear 132 does not move, the support base 120 does not move, and therefore the microphone 200 does not move either. When knob 131 rotates clockwise, it drives gear 132 to rotate clockwise, and the carrier 120 drives microphone 200 to rise along guide post 112, and microphone 200 is taken out; when knob 131 rotates counterclockwise, it drives gear 132 to rotate counterclockwise, and the carrier 120 drives microphone 200 to rise along guide post 112, and microphone 200 is put back in.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the mounting base 110 includes a lower housing 111 and a guide post 112. A mounting groove 1111 is formed on the lower housing 111, and the guide post 112 is mounted within the mounting groove 1111. The support base 120 is slidably connected to the guide post 112. Exemplarily, a sliding groove is formed on the support base 120. It is understood that the guide post 112 and the sliding groove are in a clearance fit. The sliding groove is formed by the support body 121 and the rack component 122. The sliding groove is located beside the receiving groove 1211, and the support base 120 is connected to the guide post 112 through the sliding groove. The sliding fit between the guide post 112 and the support base 120 prevents the support base 120 from shifting during sliding, which helps improve accuracy and avoids damage to components such as the microphone 200 or the support base 120 due to impact during sliding. Understandably, the guide post 112 is cylindrical, and the shape of the sliding groove is the same as that of the guide post 112. The cylindrical shape is conducive to the sliding of the bearing seat 120 along the guide post 112. Of course, in specific applications, the shapes of the guide post 112 and the sliding groove are not limited to this. For example, as an alternative, its cross-section can also be rectangular, elliptical, trapezoidal or other irregular shapes. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5In one possible implementation, the manual drive component 130 further includes a fixing member 133 connected to the fixing base 110. The fixing member 133 is provided with a damping structure (not shown) that cooperates with the knob 131. Exemplarily, the fixing member 133 is provided with a mounting hole 1331, and a damping structure is formed on the mounting hole 1331. The knob 131 includes a torsion part 1311 and a rotating shaft part 1312. The rotating shaft part 1312 extends outward from the center of the torsion part 1311 and passes through the mounting hole 1331. The rotating shaft part 1312 is cylindrical in shape. The torsion part 1311 should be configured in a shape that facilitates the user to apply force, so that the user can rotate the rotating shaft part 1312 by rotating the torsion part 1311, thereby driving the support base 120 and the microphone 200 to rise and fall. The damping structure works in conjunction with the pivot 1312. When the user applies force to rotate the knob 131, the damping structure can slow down or control the movement speed of the support 120 in the microphone housing assembly 100, preventing impact or damage caused by rapid movement. When the user removes the external force, due to the effect of the damping structure, the support 120 will not passively descend due to the weight of the microphone 200 itself. At this time, with the help of the damping structure, the user can suspend the support 120 and the microphone 200 in any position. That is to say, the frictional force that the damping structure can provide to the knob 131 should be greater than the frictional force caused by the weight of the microphone 200 on the knob 131. In addition, during the process of the user rotating the knob 131, the damping structure provides a smoother and quieter operating environment by reducing noise and vibration, thereby enhancing user satisfaction.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the mounting base 110 has an upper abutment surface 1131 and a lower abutment surface 1112 formed on it to limit the range of movement of the carrier 120. Exemplarily, the upper abutment surface 1131 and the lower abutment surface 1112 can effectively limit the range of movement of the carrier 120 within the mounting base 110, ensuring the stability of the microphone storage assembly 100 during operation. Physical constraints prevent the carrier 120 from rising or falling excessively, thereby avoiding possible mechanical damage or malfunction. This ensures that the microphone 200 can accurately reach the predetermined position when stored and retrieved, improving the reliability and ease of use of the entire assembly.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In one possible implementation, the mounting base 110 includes an upper housing 113 and an elastic sleeve 114. The upper housing 113 is connected to the lower housing 111, and the elastic sleeve 114 is nested within the upper housing 113. The support base 120 and the manual drive component 130 are both disposed on the lower housing 111. Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper abutment surface 1131 is formed in the upper housing 113, and the lower abutment surface 1112 is formed in the lower housing 111. The elastic sleeve 114 is installed in the mounting groove 1111, and a limiting protrusion 1141 is provided on the side of the elastic sleeve facing away from the mounting base 110. The elastic sleeve 114 is installed within the upper housing 113, and the upper housing 113, with its internal silicone sleeve, decelerates and fixes the microphone 200 in the left and right directions, preventing physical impact noise during descent and lateral swaying after storage. It is understood that the elastic sleeve 114 is made of an elastic and deformable material such as silicone. The limiting protrusion 1141 can be configured as a protrusion or strip protruding from the body of the elastic kit 114, or other shapes. The setting of the limiting protrusion 1141 is conducive to further blocking the fall of the microphone 200, thereby reducing the falling speed of the microphone 200. On the one hand, reducing the falling speed of the microphone 200 helps to reduce the impact sound between the microphone 200 and the support 120, improving the user experience. On the other hand, reducing the falling speed of the microphone 200 helps to reduce the impact force of the microphone 200, thereby protecting the structure of the microphone 200 and the microphone storage component 100.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 6 In one possible implementation, the microphone storage assembly 100 further includes a charging unit 140. The storage slot 1211 has an opening, and the charging unit 140 is located at the end away from the opening. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the charging unit 140 is installed inside the base. The charging unit 140 is a charging probe, which can be an insertion type or a contact type. The charging probe extends into the storage slot 1211 through a through-slot. When the microphone 200 is placed in the storage slot 1211, the charging interface at the bottom of the microphone 200 contacts or inserts into the charging probe, thereby achieving the function of charging the microphone 200 during storage. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative, the charging unit 140 can also be configured for wireless charging.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6In one possible implementation, a first magnetic chuck 150 is provided on the support 120, and a second magnetic chuck 210 that cooperates with the first magnetic chuck 150 is provided on the microphone 200. Exemplarily, the first magnetic chuck 150 and the second magnetic chuck 210 can be permanent magnets or electromagnets. The first magnetic chuck 150 and the second magnetic chuck 210 can attract each other. The second magnetic chuck 210 is located at the tail of the microphone 200, and the first magnetic chuck 150 is located at the bottom of the storage slot 1211. The first magnetic chuck 150 and the second magnetic chuck 210 can fix the microphone 200 in the storage slot 1211, so that the microphone 200 will not shake when stored. The advantage of the storage assembly in this embodiment is that the charging part 140 is located in the lower housing 111, the overall height of the microphone 200 is reduced, there is no need to process the side groove 313 of the microphone 200, and the microphone 200 cannot rotate left or right, the probe is fixed, and the stability is good.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 7In one possible implementation, the microphone storage assembly 100 further includes a gripper 160 and a third magnetic member 170. The gripper 160 is connected to the fixing base 110, and the third magnetic member 170 is connected to the fixing base 110 and disposed near the gripper 160. The microphone 200 is provided with a limiting groove 230 that cooperates with the gripper 160 and a fourth magnetic member 220 that cooperates with the third magnetic member 170. Exemplarily, the gripper 160 and the third magnetic member 170 are disposed on the side of the upper housing 113 away from the base, that is, the gripper 160 and the third magnetic member 170 are disposed near the entrance of the storage slot 1211. On one hand, the gripper 160 engages with the limiting groove 230 to fix the microphone 200 in the storage groove 1211. On the other hand, if the microphone 200 is lifted but not removed, it still needs to be fixed. However, since the gripper 160 has disengaged from the limiting groove 230, a third magnetic element 170 and a fourth magnetic element 220 are provided to assist in fixing the microphone 200. The third magnetic element 170 and the fourth magnetic element 220 can be permanent magnets or electromagnets, and they can attract each other. In this embodiment, the charging unit 140 is installed inside the support base 120 and is connected to the power source via a cable 180. In this embodiment, the charging unit 140 is mounted on the support base 120, meaning that the charging unit 140 moves with the support base 120. It is understood that the length of the cable 180 should be greater than the maximum distance from the charging unit 140 to the bottom of the mounting groove 1111, so that the cable 180 can move in conjunction with the movement of the charging unit 140. The advantages of this embodiment are low material cost and fewer assembly steps. In this embodiment, the charging unit 140 is a charging probe, which can be an insertion type or a contact type. When the microphone 200 is placed in the storage slot 1211, the charging interface at the bottom of the microphone 200 contacts or inserts into the charging probe, thereby realizing the function of charging the microphone 200 when it is stored. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative, the charging unit 140 can also be configured as a wireless charging device.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The smart speaker 300 also includes a screen 320, which is rotatably connected to the speaker body 310 to close or open the storage slot 1211. The screen 320 is rectangular in shape and is used to display information about the song being played or video information such as music videos. When the screen 320 is in the storage state, one side of the display screen is positioned close to the storage slot 1211. In other words, in the storage state, both the storage slot 1211 and the inside of the screen 320 are inside the smart speaker 300, which can prevent the screen 320 from being scratched and protect the microphone 200 inside the storage slot 1211.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The speaker body 310 includes a rear housing 312, on which a mounting position for mounting a knob 131 is formed. The mounting position is configured as a groove 313, and the knob 131 is placed within the groove 313, with the top surface of the knob 131 not exceeding the opening end face of the groove 313. The rear housing 312 has an inwardly recessed groove 313. After installation, the knob 131 is located within the groove 313, and at this time, the knob 131 is completely placed within the groove 313. That is, the knob 131 is flush with or lower than the outer surface of the rear housing 312. This arrangement improves the overall aesthetics of the smart speaker 300, protects the manual drive component 130, and prevents collisions between the exposed manual drive component 130 and the user. It is understood that sufficient clearance should be left between the knob 131 and the groove wall of the groove 313 to allow for finger insertion. In this embodiment, the groove 313 is provided on the rear housing for easy installation. The speaker body 310 also includes a front housing 314. Since the rear housing 312 can be molded separately, it is easy to machine the groove 313, allowing it to be simply assembled onto the front housing 314 during installation. Figure 10 As shown, a connector 3121 is provided on the rear housing 312. During installation, the rear housing 312 is detachably installed on the front housing 314 via the connector 3121.

[0051] In another embodiment, the speaker body 310 also includes a front housing 314, and the grooves 313 can also be disposed on the left and right sides of the front housing 314. That is to say, the knobs 131 are disposed on the left and right sides of the front housing 314. This design is convenient for users, as the knobs 131 can be touched only from the front of the smart speaker 300. Furthermore, the user can raise and lower the microphone 300 using the knobs 131 while using the screen 320.

[0052] like Figure 11 As shown, there is a gap between the microphone storage assembly 100 and the rear housing 312, that is, an installation space is formed between the microphone storage assembly 100 and the rear housing 312, and the installation space is used to install the battery.

[0053] like Figure 12 As shown, the knob 131 is mounted on the other side of the rear housing 312. Specifically, the pivot 1312 passes through the rear housing 312 and engages with the gear 132.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 8In one possible implementation, the smart speaker 300 further includes a screen 320. The speaker body 310 is provided with a placement groove 311 for housing the screen 320, and the placement groove 311 has an opening 3111. The placement groove 311 for housing the screen 320 is formed on the speaker body 310, and a buffer member (not shown in the figure) is provided on the placement groove 311 to cooperate with the screen 320. When the screen 320 is in use, it is rotated to disengage it from the placement groove 311. When the screen 320 is in the retracted state, it is completely placed within the placement groove 311. Furthermore, the thickness of the screen 320 gradually decreases from the rotating end to the opposite end. It is understood that the placement groove 311 has an inclined surface adapted to the screen 320, so that when the screen 320 is located in the placement groove 311, the outer end face of the screen 320 is basically horizontal. The buffer member can act as a buffer when the screen 320 is closed, which helps protect the screen 320 from damage.

[0055] When the microphone 200 is connected to the smart speaker 300, it will cause feedback if it is too close to the smart speaker 300. The smart speaker 300 will emit a piercing feedback sound, which will greatly affect the user experience. Especially when the smart speaker 300 is storing the microphone 200, the probability of feedback is even higher due to the impact and friction sounds between the microphone 200 and the smart speaker 300 during the storage process.

[0056] Based on this, the microphone 200 can be automatically turned off when it is near the smart speaker 300, preventing feedback from occurring when the microphone 200 is near the smart speaker 300 or when the smart speaker 300 is storing the microphone 200.

[0057] In some implementations, to prevent feedback when the microphone 200 is near the smart speaker 300 or when the smart speaker 300 houses the microphone 200, the microphone 200 can be automatically powered off when it is near the smart speaker 300. Specifically, a sensing element can be provided on the microphone 200 and / or the smart speaker 300. The sensing element can be used to sense the distance between the smart speaker 300 and the microphone 200, and generate a corresponding sensing signal after the distance between the smart speaker 300 and the microphone 200 is less than or equal to a preset distance. This sensing signal is then sent to the control device of the microphone 200, or the smart speaker 300 sends the sensing signal to the control device of the microphone 200, so that the control device can power off the microphone 200. More specifically, the sensing element can be one or more, and can be a Hall element, a proximity sensor, an infrared sensor, or any other single electronic component that can sense the distance between the smart speaker 300 and the microphone 200, as well as any combination of electronic components.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the sensing element can be located at the opening of the receiving slot 1211. When the microphone 200 is inserted into the receiving slot 1211, the sensing element can generate a corresponding sensing signal to turn off the microphone 200 immediately after insertion. Alternatively, the sensing element can be located at the end of the receiving slot 1211 away from the opening. Similarly, it can generate a corresponding sensing signal to turn off the microphone 200 when it is inserted near the sensing element, and this also prevents the sensing element from being exposed due to the opening facing outwards, thus preventing component aging.

[0059] In some more specific embodiments, the sensing elements are Hall effect sensors and magnetic elements, respectively disposed at corresponding positions on the speaker and microphone 200. For example, a magnetic element is disposed at the corresponding position on the microphone 200 and a Hall effect sensor is disposed at the corresponding position on the speaker, or vice versa. The trigger condition for the Hall effect sensor can be that the detected magnetic field strength reaches a preset value. When the detected magnetic field strength is greater than or equal to the preset value, it means that the distance between the speaker and microphone 200 is sufficient to trigger feedback, at which point the microphone 200 needs to be turned off.
