[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0035] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-8 This application provides an embodiment of a vehicle loudspeaker suitable for use in vehicles, comprising a loudspeaker body, a connecting bracket 3, a ring-shaped lamp tube 5, and a sound outlet cover 4. The loudspeaker body includes a base 1, a magnetic circuit system (e.g., magnets, magnetic plates, and washer), and a vibration system (voice coil, diaphragm 2, etc.); the diaphragm 2 is disposed on the surface of the base 1. The connecting bracket 3 is connected to the base 1 and is arranged around the circumference of the base 1, for example, in a ring shape. The connecting bracket 3 is located on the side of the base 1 where the diaphragm 2 is located, and the diaphragm 2 is opposite to the hollow area of the connecting bracket 3. The sound outlet cover 4 is connected to the connecting bracket 3 and covers the diaphragm 2.
[0036] Furthermore, the connecting bracket 3 is equipped with a light-shielding part (an opaque area), and the ring lamp tube 5 is connected to the light-shielding part and located on the side of the light-shielding part facing the eardrum 2. Therefore, the light from the ring lamp tube 5 is blocked by the light-shielding part and cannot be directly projected onto the sound outlet 4, but instead emits light towards the eardrum 2; Figure 1 As shown, the tympanic membrane 2 is not a flat structure, but rather tilted and concave. Through reflection, it allows light to pass parallel and evenly through the sound cover 4. Furthermore, the vibration of the tympanic membrane 2 causes the light to sway, creating a rhythmic frequency that enhances the rhythmic and levitation feel of the light emitted by the speaker.
[0037] With this configuration, the vehicle speaker provided in this application not only has a light-emitting component, but the light-emitting component is a ring-shaped lamp tube 5 that emits light uniformly in the circumferential direction. At the same time, the connection bracket 3 not only facilitates the fixing of the ring-shaped lamp tube 5 and the sound outlet cover 4, but also blocks the ring-shaped lamp tube 5 to prevent direct light transmission to the sound outlet cover 4. This allows the light from the ring-shaped lamp tube 5 to be reflected by the diaphragm 2 and projected onto the sound outlet cover 4 over a wide area, passing through the sound outlet cover 4 in a parallel and uniform manner. This increases the range and uniformity of the light emitted by the speaker, making the emitted light not a ring beam but a light cluster. Furthermore, the vibration of the diaphragm 2 causes the light to sway, increasing the three-dimensional atmosphere of the light. This gives the uniform light cluster emitted by the speaker a sense of diffusion, rhythm, and suspension, enhancing the atmosphere inside the vehicle.
[0038] Furthermore, the sound cover 4 includes an edge protrusion 41, an inclined portion 42, and a central recess 43, with sound holes distributed at least on the inclined portion 42. Thus, the sound cover 4 is not a flat plate or a small curved surface, but a basin or cone shape with a central recess and an edge protrusion, which can further enhance the floating effect of light and improve the atmosphere created by the lighting inside the vehicle.
[0039] The connection between the sound cover 4 and the connecting bracket 3 can be achieved by having a flange 44 on the outer side of the edge protrusion 41 of the sound cover 4, and a snap fastener 45 is further provided on the flange 44. In this way, the flange 44 can be inserted between the connecting bracket 3 and the cover 6 and clamped, and the snap fastener 45 can be connected to the connecting bracket 3 to stabilize the sound cover 4.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the snap fastener 45 can be a bent snap structure consisting of two plates connected at an angle.
[0041] The annular connecting bracket 3 may include an annular support portion 31 and an outer wing portion 32 located outside the annular support portion 31. The axial dimension of the outer wing portion 32 is smaller than that of the annular support portion 31, and it is located axially at the end of the annular support portion 31 near the base 1. Thus, an annular stepped groove is formed between the outer wing portion 32 and the annular support portion 31, and the axial end face of the outer wing portion 32 and the outer side surface of the annular support portion 31 form an L-shaped groove inner wall. Furthermore, an insertion hole 321 is provided on the outer wing portion 32. The edge protrusion of the sound outlet cover 4 fits against the axial end face of the annular support portion 31, the flange 44 at the edge is inserted into the annular stepped groove, and the insertion buckle 45 is inserted into the insertion hole 321 to connect with the outer wing portion 32.
[0042] The light-shielding part is located on the annular support part 31. Specifically, the light-shielding part can be an annular plate or a fixing groove 311 formed on the connecting bracket 3. That is, the connecting bracket 3 is provided with a fixing groove 311, the fixing groove 311 faces the opening towards the tympanic membrane 2 and forms a light-shielding part, and the annular lamp tube 5 is embedded in the fixing groove 311.
[0043] The wiring harness connector for the ring lamp tube 5 can be mounted on the connecting bracket 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the connecting bracket 3 is also provided with a receiving seat 324 for accommodating the wire harness connector, and a guide groove 325 for connecting the receiving seat 324 and the fixing groove 311. The receiving seat 324 is provided with a receiving groove, the opening of the receiving groove faces away from the base 1, and an opening is formed on the groove wall that communicates with the guide groove 325.
[0044] In some embodiments, a fixing member is also provided on the connecting bracket 3. The fixing member connects the annular lamp tube 5 to the connecting bracket 3, which improves the stability of the annular lamp tube 5 and solves the potential problem that the annular lamp tube 5 may fall out of the fixing groove 311 due to vehicle vibration.
[0045] For example, the fixing component is a fixing plate 7, which is annular; one of the fixing plate 7 and the connecting bracket 3 is provided with a insertion groove 312, and the other is provided with an insertion protrusion, so that the fixing plate 7 is inserted into the connecting bracket 3 and covers a local area of the annular lamp tube 5 in the radial direction.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 1 As shown, the annular support 31 is provided with a insertion groove 312 opening towards the base 1, and the insertion groove 312 is located radially outside the fixing groove 311; the annular lamp tube 5 is embedded in the fixing groove 311, and the insertion protrusion on the fixing plate 7 is inserted into the insertion groove 312, and the fixing plate 7 radially covers part of the opening of the insertion groove 312, for example, the fixing plate 7 can be L-shaped. In this way, it is very convenient to install the fixing plate 7.
[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer edge of the fixing plate 7 has a folded edge 71. The folded edge 71 can be a complete ring or it can include multiple ring segments arranged at intervals along the circumference. Lugs 72 can be provided between the intervals. The lugs 72 are higher than the folded edge 71 (that is, the dimension of the fixing plate 7 in the axial direction is greater than the dimension of the folded edge 71 in that direction). In this way, it is easy to install onto the connecting bracket 3 and the connection is stable.
[0048] A cover strip 73 may also be provided at a local outer edge of the fixing plate 7. The cover strip 73 is used to cover the section of the guide groove 325 on the annular support 31.
[0049] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the fixing plate 7 may be connected to the connecting bracket 3 by screws. Alternatively, the fixing element may be a plurality of rotatable snap fasteners arranged circumferentially along the fixing groove 311. The snap fasteners are similar to door panels, each snap fastener is arranged radially, one end is hinged to the fixing groove 311 or the area outside the fixing groove 311, and the other end has a snap body that inserts into a snap groove on the other side of the fixing groove 311. When rotated to cover the fixing groove 311 and inserted into the snap groove, the annular lamp tube 5 can be securely locked.
[0050] The connection between the connecting bracket 3 and the base 1 can be detachable. For example, the base 1 may have a through hole.
[0051] The outer wing 32 is provided with a connecting post 323 that connects to the base 1. The connecting post 323 is provided with a threaded hole. By inserting a screw into the through hole and the threaded hole, the connection between the connecting bracket 3 and the base 1 can be realized.
[0052] The speaker can be fixed to the vehicle body by connecting bracket 3. For example, the speaker is usually connected to the interior panel of the vehicle body, and the interior panel has a through hole for the speaker cover 4. The interior panel forms a covering 6 that encloses the speaker.
[0053] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cover 6 is provided with a positioning protrusion 61; the outer wing 32 is provided with a positioning hole 322 for the positioning protrusion 61 on the cover 6 to be inserted and positioned and connected with the cover 6. The positioning hole 322 and the positioning protrusion 61 can accurately position the speaker, aligning its sound cover 4 with the through hole and avoiding misalignment.
[0054] While positioning and connecting, the connecting bracket 3 and the cover 6 can also be glued or welded together to enhance the stability of the connection and prevent the speaker from loosening or falling off due to vibration during driving.
[0055] Embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle, including a body and a vehicle speaker as described in any of the above, the vehicle speaker being connected to an interior panel of the body, the interior panel forming a covering 6 surrounding the periphery of the vehicle speaker.
[0056] Specifically, vehicle speakers can be installed in any one or any combination of locations on the vehicle body, such as the doors, dashboard, armrest box, and roof panel.
[0057] Furthermore, the vehicle speaker is connected to the interior panel at the installation location, and the interior panel is provided with a positioning protrusion 61 for positioning and connecting with the connecting bracket 3.
