Detailed Implementation

[0026] Example: As shown in the figure, an openable and height-adjustable car speaker includes a base 9, a miniature HB motor 10 with a worm gear, a speaker bracket 8, a spherical housing, a top cover, and a sector helical gear 7. The miniature HB motor 10 is mounted on one side of the base 9, and a precision worm gear 10-1 is mounted on the shaft of the miniature HB motor 10. The speaker bracket 8 is placed inside the inner ring of the base 9. The speaker bracket 8 is composed of an upper bracket 8-1 and a lower bracket 8-2 fixed together by self-tapping screws 15. Four horizontal grooves 8-3 are spaced circumferentially between the upper bracket 8-1 and the lower bracket 8-2, extending downwards towards the lower bracket 8-2 to form oblique grooves 8-4 on the lower bracket 8-2. The speaker 24 is fixed to the speaker... Above the upper bracket 8-1, two vertical grooves 29 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the upper bracket 8-1 of the speaker 24. The spherical shell includes an outer shell and an inner shell that provides fixed support. The outer shell is composed of an upper outer shell hemisphere 4 and a lower outer shell hemisphere 5 connected to each other. The inner shell is composed of an upper inner shell hemisphere 1 and an inner shell hemisphere 2 connected to each other. The upper end of the upper inner shell hemisphere 1 has four pin holes evenly distributed circumferentially. The lower inner shell hemisphere 2 is composed of an upper hemispherical part and a lower support part. Four horizontal grooves are evenly distributed between the hemispherical part and the support part. These four horizontal grooves correspond one-to-one with the four horizontal grooves between the upper and lower brackets of the speaker. The upper inner shell hemisphere 1 and the lower inner shell hemisphere 2 are connected and fixed, with four horizontal grooves 1-1 evenly distributed between them. The shell is installed on the outside of the speaker 24 and the speaker bracket 8, and fixed on the inner ring of the base 9. The horizontal groove 1-1 corresponds to the space between the speaker bracket and the speaker. The inner shell lower hemisphere 2 has a vertical guide plate 30 on its inner side. The vertical guide plate 30 is inserted into the vertical groove 29 on the outer side wall of the speaker upper bracket 8-1 and slides up and down in the vertical groove 29. The upper and lower ends of the outer shell lower hemisphere 5 are each evenly spaced with four pin holes along their circumference, and the pin holes at the upper and lower ends correspond one-to-one. The lower end of the outer shell upper hemisphere 4 is also evenly spaced with four pin holes along its circumference, and these pin holes correspond one-to-one with the pin holes at the upper end of the outer shell lower hemisphere 5. The outer shell is installed on the outside of the inner shell, and the outer shell lower hemisphere 5 is placed on the convex part of the inner ring of the base 9. On the platform, the upper cover is formed by four fan-shaped petals 3 surrounding a spherical top. Each fan-shaped petal 3 has a groove 28 along a radius and a pin hole at the central corner. The pins 6 are sequentially inserted into the pin hole at the lower end of the outer shell lower hemisphere 5, the horizontal groove between the hemispherical part and the support part of the inner shell lower hemisphere 2, and the horizontal groove 8-3 between the upper support 8-1 and the lower support 8-2 of the speaker. The pins 6 are also sequentially inserted into the pin hole at the upper end of the outer shell lower hemisphere 5, the pin hole of the outer shell upper hemisphere 4, the groove 28 of the fan-shaped petals 3, and the pin hole between the upper hemisphere 1 and the lower hemisphere 2 of the inner shell, connecting the upper and lower hemispheres 4 and 5, the fan-shaped petals 3, and the inner shell. The rivet pins 13 are inserted into the pin holes of the fan-shaped petals 3 and the upper hemisphere 1 of the inner shell, connecting the fan-shaped petals 3 to the upper hemisphere 1 of the inner shell.Four fan-shaped petals 3 rotate around the pin hole and the sliding groove 28 to form a spherical top cover. Nylon gaskets 22 are fitted between the fan-shaped petals 3 and the pin hole of the upper hemisphere 1 of the inner shell. The fan-shaped helical gear 7 is fixed to the lower hemisphere 5 of the outer shell by self-tapping screws 17 and meshes with the worm gear 10-1.

[0027] The lower bracket 8-2 of the speaker bracket has a groove along its circumference, and a lifting damping ring 14 is installed in the groove.

[0028] The outer wall of the speaker 24 is provided with a groove along its circumference, and a lifting damping ring 14 is installed in the groove.

[0029] The lower hemisphere 2 of the inner shell has a groove along its circumference on the outer wall of the support portion, and a lifting damping ring 23 is installed in the groove.

[0030] The LED aluminum substrate 12 is installed on the inner side of the upper hemisphere 1 of the inner shell, fixed to the upper hemisphere 1 of the inner shell, and surrounds the outer periphery of the speaker 24. A light guide ring 11 is installed above the LED aluminum substrate 12 and surrounds the outer side of the speaker 24.

[0031] The control board 18 is installed inside the base 9, below the speaker bracket 8. Three Hall sensors 31 and one neodymium iron boron magnet 21 are installed at intervals on the control board 18, located at the bottom of the sector helical gear 7. The Hall sensors correspond to three position states: 1. The top cover of the sector petal with the groove is completely closed, and the speaker is at the bottom; 2. The top cover of the sector petal with the groove is completely open, and the speaker is at the bottom; 3. The top cover of the sector petal with the groove is completely open, and the speaker is at the top, fully raised. These three positions are detected by the neodymium iron boron magnet installed at the bottom of the sector helical gear. The Hall sensors detect the position state of the top cover of the sector petal and the speaker. A magnetic encoder 19 is installed on one side of the base 9. The magnet sleeve 20 is opposite to the magnetic encoder 19 and is installed at one end of the worm gear 10-1. The neodymium iron boron magnet 21 is installed inside the magnet sleeve 20.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When the precision worm gear is driven to rotate by the motor, the sector helical gear drives the spherical shell to rotate vertically along the center of the sphere, thereby moving the upper and lower rows of pins. The upper row of four pins moves within the slide groove, causing the sector petals to rotate along the hollow pins, opening or closing simultaneously. The lower row of four pins moves into the inclined groove, causing the speaker bracket to move up and down. When the lower row of four pins passes through this horizontal groove, it coincides with the upper row of four pins driving the sector petals to rotate along the hollow pins to open or close. The horizontal groove of the speaker bracket does not cause the speaker bracket to rise or fall, but when the lower row of four pins passes through the inclined section of the inclined groove... This will push the speaker bracket to move up and down. The vertical grooves and vertical guide plates on the side wall of the speaker bracket cooperate to restrict its rotation, thereby driving the speaker to complete the lifting and lowering action. The upper row of pins drives the four fan-shaped petal covers to rotate around the hollow rivets, realizing the opening and closing action of the fan-shaped petals. At the same time, the lower row of pins causes the spliced ​​speaker bracket with inclined grooves to slide up and down in the spherical inner shell. The inclined grooves and horizontal grooves are combined to ensure that the opening and closing and lifting actions are separated in sequence, so that the speaker bracket, carrying the speaker, stops in the spherical inner shell in conjunction with the opening and closing of the fan-shaped petal covers, and its up and down sliding, thus enabling a motor to achieve two-dimensional motion.

[0034] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and all of them will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
