Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of record player technology, and in particular to a vinyl record player. Background Technology

[0002] The phonograph is a primitive sound reproduction device that stores sound in arc-shaped grooves acoustically etched into the black vinyl surface of a turntable. The record sits on a turntable and rotates beneath a stylus. Vinyl records can be easily mass-produced, and their playback time is longer than most cylindrical recording media; therefore, the phonograph is considered one of Edison's greatest inventions.

[0003] Currently, most turntables are directly exposed to the air, making them prone to dust accumulation and difficult to clean, which negatively impacts the sound quality of the turntable. Some turntables have a cover on top, but this cover is usually rotatably connected to the turntable body. When changing records, the cover needs to be rotated, which makes the relative position between the cover and the turntable body unstable, potentially causing the turntable to tip over or the cover to accidentally close and cause damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide a turntable that can prevent dust from being covered while also avoiding damage to the turntable body.

[0005] This utility model discloses a turntable, including: a turntable body and a support plate connected to the turntable body.

[0009] Optionally, the support column is provided with a receiving cavity, and the second docking member is connected to the receiving cavity.

[0010] Optionally, one of the first docking member and the second docking member is a magnetic member, and the other is a magnetic member or a magnetic material.

[0011] Optionally, a protective pad is provided at the opposite end of the first and second docking members.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting sleeve is made of a flexible material.

[0013] Optionally, a limiting part is provided inside the mounting sleeve, and the first docking member abuts against the limiting part to isolate the first docking member and the support plate.

[0014] Optionally, the cover includes a substrate and a perimeter disposed on the outer ring of the substrate, the substrate and the perimeter forming an accommodating cavity, and the perimeter and the substrate having an outwardly expanding angle, the support post being located inside the perimeter.

[0015] Optionally, the cover is made of a transparent or translucent material.

[0016] Optionally, the support plate is connected to the phonograph body via a shock-absorbing component.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a turntable 100, including: a turntable body 110, and a support plate 120 connected to the turntable body 110. The support plate 120 is provided with a turntable assembly 130 and a tonearm assembly 140. A cover 150 for covering the turntable assembly 130 and the tonearm assembly 140 is detachably connected to the support plate 120. The support plate 120 is provided with a plurality of first connecting parts 122, and the cover 150 is provided with a plurality of second connecting parts 160. When the cover 150 is placed on the support plate 120, the first connecting parts 122 and the second connecting parts 160 are correspondingly positioned and limited.

[0029] Specifically, the support plate 120 connected to the turntable body 110 facilitates the mounting of the platter assembly 130 and tonearm assembly 140 on the support plate 120. The detachable cover 150 on the support plate 120 can cover the turntable 130 and tonearm assembly 140 when the turntable 100 is not in use for extended periods, preventing external dust from affecting them. Multiple first mating parts 122 are provided on the support plate 120, and multiple second mating parts 160 are provided on the cover 150. When the cover 150 is placed on the support plate 120, the first mating parts 122 and second mating parts 160 correspond one-to-one and are magnetically attracted, forming a magnetic connection that ensures a stable connection between the cover 150 and the support plate 120. When needed, the cover 150 can be simply removed. By adopting the above method, the cover 150 can play a role in preventing dust while avoiding damage to the main body 110 of the record player.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first docking piece 122 is disposed at the four corners of the support plate 120, and the second docking piece 160 is disposed on the inner side of the cover 150.

[0031] Specifically, the first mating member 122 is disposed at the four corners of the support plate 120, which can form a uniform magnetic attraction distribution on the support plate 120, forming a stable connection when the cover 150 is placed on the support plate 120. In addition, the second mating member 160 is disposed on the inner side of the cover 150, which helps to ensure the smoothness of the outer side of the cover 150 and makes the outer edge of the cover 150 flush with the outer ring of the support plate 120, thereby improving the overall consistency.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, a receiving groove 124 is provided on the support plate 120, and the first docking piece 122 is set in the receiving groove 124 through the mounting sleeve 126.

[0033] Specifically, by providing a receiving groove 124 on the support plate 120, it is convenient to install the first mating member 122 within the receiving groove 124. To ensure the ease of mating between the first mating member 122 and the receiving groove 124, the first mating member 122 is positioned within the receiving groove 124 via a mounting sleeve 126. In practical applications, the first mating member 122 can be first loaded into the mounting sleeve 126, and then the mounting sleeve 126 can be inserted into the receiving groove 124. Using this method, the deformation allowance of the mounting sleeve 126 itself is utilized to mate with the receiving groove 124, which helps reduce the difficulty of assembly alignment.

[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a support column 156 is provided on the inner side of the cover 150, and a second docking member 160 is provided in the support column 156. The second docking member 160 protrudes from the opening of the cover 150, and a guide groove 1262 for accommodating the second docking member 160 is formed in the mounting sleeve 126. The part of the second docking member 160 protruding from the cover 150 can be accommodated in the guide groove 1262.

[0035] Specifically, the support column 156 provided inside the cover 150 helps to strengthen the structural strength of the cover 150. Simultaneously, it facilitates the connection of the second mating member 160 to the cover 150 via the support column 156. Furthermore, the protruding portion of the second mating member 160 from the opening of the cover 150 allows it to be accommodated within the guide groove 1262 when the cover 150 is placed on the support plate 120. This limit the cover 150's position on the plane of the support plate 120, preventing accidental lateral slippage and improving the stability of the connection between the cover 150 and the support plate 120. It also allows for magnetic attraction between the first mating member 122 and the second mating member 160. The guide groove 1262 has a guide slope at its opening, reducing alignment difficulty and improving ease of mating when the cover 150 is placed on the support plate 120.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, a receiving cavity 1562 is provided inside the support column 156, and the second docking member 160 is connected to the receiving cavity 1562.

[0037] Specifically, when the second mating member 160 is connected to the receiving cavity 1562, adhesive can be applied to the second mating member 160, and then the second mating member 160 and the receiving cavity 1562 can be bonded together. Alternatively, the second mating member 160 can be heated to achieve a heat-fusion connection between the second mating member 160 and the receiving cavity 1562. An interference fit can also be used to connect the second mating member 160 and the receiving cavity 1562. It is understandable that, to prevent the second mating member 160 from retracting into the receiving cavity 1562, a limiting protrusion can be provided within the receiving cavity 1562 to limit the movement of the second mating member 160.

[0038] In an optional embodiment of this application, one of the first docking member 122 and the second docking member 160 is a magnetic member, and the other is a magnetic member or a magnetic material.

[0039] It should be noted that magnetic components refer to parts that possess magnetism, typically made of magnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel. These materials become magnetized under the influence of an external magnetic field, exhibiting magnetism. Magnetic components refer to parts that use magnetic force for adsorption or fixation. They typically contain one or more magnets, interacting with other magnetic components through magnetic force to achieve fixing, connection, or operation functions. In this embodiment, the first docking member 122 and the second docking member 160 can be magnets, or one can be a magnet and the other an iron block, as long as the magnetic adsorption of the first docking member 122 and the second docking member 160 can be ensured.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of this application, a protective pad is provided at the opposite end of the first docking member 122 and the second docking member 160.

[0041] Specifically, the protective pad can be a silicone pad or a rubber pad to prevent collisions between the first mating part 122 and the second mating part 160 when they are mated and abutted. Additionally, when magnets are used for the first mating part 122 and the second mating part 160, they can be isolated, maintaining a certain distance between them. This ensures magnetic attraction while preventing excessive magnetic force that could make it difficult to remove the cover 150, thus contributing to the stability of the fit and ease of handling.

[0042] In an optional embodiment of this application, the mounting sleeve 126 is made of a flexible material. For example, the mounting sleeve 126 may be made of rubber or silicone. This facilitates the mating connection between the second mating member 160 and the receiving groove 124, respectively.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, a limiting part 1264 is provided inside the mounting sleeve 126, and the first docking member 122 abuts against the limiting part 1264 to isolate the first docking member 122 and the support plate 120.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting part 1264 provided in the mounting sleeve 126 can limit the first docking member 122 and isolate the first docking member 122 and the support plate 120, avoiding rigid contact between the first docking member 122 and the support plate 120. When the cover 150 is placed on the support plate 120, the impact on the support plate 120 can be reduced, the transmission of vibration can be reduced, and the mutual influence between the cover 150 and the phonograph body 110 can be reduced.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the cover 150 includes a substrate 152 and a perimeter 154 disposed on the outer edge of the substrate 152. The substrate 152 and the perimeter 154 form an accommodating cavity, and the perimeter 154 and the substrate 152 have an outwardly expanding angle. The support column 156 is located inside the perimeter 154.

[0046] Specifically, the perimeter 154 surrounding the outer edge of the substrate 152 forms an accommodating cavity for the turntable assembly 130 and the tonearm assembly 140. In practical applications, the depth of the perimeter 154 can be determined based on the height of the turntable assembly 130 and the tonearm assembly 140. The perimeter 154 has an outwardly expanding angle with the substrate 152, which facilitates demolding when the cover 150 is integrally molded and reduces the difficulty of mold opening. In addition, the support pillar 156 is located inside the perimeter 154 and can provide structural support for the perimeter 154.

[0047] In an optional embodiment of this application, the cover 150 is made of a transparent or translucent material. This allows for observation of the contents inside the cover 150, making it easier to check whether a vinyl record is placed on the turntable assembly 130, and also provides a more comfortable overall viewing experience.

[0048] In an optional embodiment of this application, the support plate 120 is connected to the turntable body 110 via a vibration damping component. This reduces vibrations generated when the turntable body 110 produces sound at the vibration damping component, preventing these vibrations from affecting the platter assembly 130 and tonearm assembly 140 mounted on the support plate 120, thus improving the sound quality of the turntable 100. The vibration damping component can employ existing vibration damping methods used in vinyl records, as long as it effectively reduces vibrations.

[0049] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and all such modifications and substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
