Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A record player is a sound playback device that plays the sound stored on a vinyl record. The surface of the record has spiral-shaped grooves that acoustically store sound on their walls, leaving the groove walls uneven. A record player includes a cabinet and a speaker mounted inside. A platter and a stylus electrically connected to the speaker are located on top of the cabinet. When the record is placed on the platter, it rotates around its own axis. The stylus presses down into the grooves of the record. The rotation of the record causes the groove walls to move, rubbing against the stylus and causing it to vibrate. This vibration generates an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the speaker. The speaker receives this signal and emits sound, thus playing the sound information stored on the record.

[0003] When a record player is not in use, dust accumulates on its surface, making cleaning the platter and tonearm assemblies particularly difficult. Some record players have a cover added to the chassis to isolate dust. However, when there is a gap between the support plate for the platter and tonearm assemblies and the chassis, installing the cover becomes challenging. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide a record player cover connection structure and a record player, which can connect the cover to the chassis and cover it on the support plate, and reduce the difficulty of setting up the cover.

[0005] This utility model discloses a record player cover connection structure, including: a housing, a cover, and a support plate spaced apart from the housing. The support plate is used to mount a turntable assembly and a tonearm assembly. A connector is provided on one side of the housing, and a connecting part is provided on the cover. The connector and the connecting part are connected by a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft includes a rotating connecting section and a fixed connecting section connected to each other. The rotating connecting section and the fixed connecting section are L-shaped. The rotating connecting section is rotatably connected to the connector, and the fixed connecting section is fixedly connected to the connecting part. The cover can rotate relative to the connector and can cover the support plate.

[0006] Optionally, the connector is flush with the upper surface of the housing, and the fixed connection section extends from the housing to the support plate.

[0007] Optionally, the connector includes a first connecting part, a rotating connecting part, and a second connecting part connected in sequence.

The first connecting part and the second connecting part are fixedly connected to the housing by a first fastener.

[0008] Optionally, the first fastener can adjust the distance between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to adjust the rotational friction between the rotating connecting portion and the rotating connecting segment.

[0009] Optionally, the connector is flush with the upper surface of the support plate, and the fixed connection section extends from the support plate to the top of the support plate.

[0010] Optionally, the connector includes a fixed connecting part, an extension part, and a rotating connecting part connected in sequence. The rotating connecting part is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting segment. The extension part is provided with an adjustment port extending along the width direction of the connecting segment. The extension part is also provided with an adjustment member that can adjust the width of the adjustment port to adjust the rotational friction between the rotating connecting part and the rotating connecting segment. The side of the extension part facing the support plate is provided with a clearance groove for clearance of the support plate.

[0011] Optionally, the rotating connection part is provided with a limiting notch, and the rotating connection section is provided with a pin, which is held in the limiting notch to limit the rotation angle of the cover.

[0012] Optionally, the edge of the cover is further provided with an elastic element, the elastic element including an elastic body and a retaining part disposed in the elastic body, the cover is provided with a retaining groove, the elastic body can clamp onto opposite sides of the side wall of the cover, and the retaining part is engaged with the retaining groove.

[0013] Optionally, the connecting part is located on the outside of the cover, the connecting part has a limiting hole for inserting the fixed connecting section, and the inner side of the cover corresponding to the connecting part is provided with a groove.

[0014] This utility model also discloses a record player, including the record player cover connection structure described in any one of the above.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the record player housing connection structure and record player provided by this utility model embodiment are as follows: By setting the connecting shaft as an interconnected rotating connecting section and a fixed connecting section, and the rotating connecting section and the fixed connecting section are arranged in an L-shape, the connecting shaft is more flexible in spatial layout. The rotating connecting section is rotatably connected to the connector, allowing the housing to rotate around the connector; the fixed connecting section is fixedly connected to the connector, ensuring the stability of the connection. Ultimately, the housing can rotate flexibly relative to the connector and can be closed on the support plate, thereby protecting the turntable assembly and tonearm assembly on the support plate. In traditional record players, when there is a gap between the support plate and the cabinet, the housing is difficult to install and cannot effectively protect critical components. However, this structure cleverly utilizes space through the L-shaped connecting shaft to connect the housing to the cabinet, and can be closed on the support plate, reducing the difficulty of housing installation, ensuring that the housing can be smoothly connected and achieve opening and closing actions, and providing reliable dust protection for the turntable assembly and tonearm assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[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 Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a record player cover connection structure 100, including: a housing 110, a cover 120, and a support plate 130 spaced apart from the housing 110. The support plate 130 is used to set a turntable assembly and a tonearm assembly. A connector 140 is provided on one side of the housing 110, and a connecting part 122 is provided on the cover 120. The connector 140 and the connecting part 122 are connected by a connecting shaft 150. The connecting shaft 150 includes a rotating connecting section 152 and a fixed connecting section 154 connected to each other. The rotating connecting section 152 and the fixed connecting section 154 are L-shaped. The rotating connecting section 152 is rotatably connected to the connector 140, and the fixed connecting section 154 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 122. The cover 120 can rotate relative to the connector 140 and can cover the support plate 130.

[0029] Specifically, by configuring the connecting shaft 150 as a rotating connecting section 152 and a fixed connecting section 154 connected to each other, and with the rotating connecting section 152 and the fixed connecting section 154 arranged in an L-shape, the connecting shaft 150 becomes more flexible in spatial layout. The rotating connecting section 152 is rotatably connected to the connector 140, allowing the cover 120 to rotate around the connector 140; the fixed connecting section 154 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 122, ensuring the stability of the connection. Ultimately, the cover 120 can rotate flexibly relative to the connector 140 and can be closed onto the support plate 130, thereby protecting the turntable assembly and tonearm assembly on the support plate 130. In traditional record players, when there is a gap between the support plate 130 and the cabinet 110, the cover 120 is difficult to install and cannot adequately protect critical components. This structure cleverly utilizes space by connecting the L-shaped pivot 150 to the chassis, allowing the cover 120 to be connected and fitted onto the support plate 130. This reduces the difficulty of setting up the cover 120, ensuring that the cover 120 can be smoothly connected and open and close, and providing reliable dust protection for the turntable assembly and tonearm assembly.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this application, the connector 140 is flush with the upper surface of the housing 110, and the fixed connecting section 154 extends from the housing 110 to the support plate 130.

[0031] Specifically, the connector 140 is flush with the upper surface of the housing 110, and the fixed connecting section 154 extends from the housing 110 to the support plate 130, so that the top of the connector 140 is on the same plane as the surface of the housing 110, ensuring the flatness and aesthetics of the housing 110. At the same time, the extended design of the fixed connecting section 154 ensures that the connecting shaft 150 can span between the housing 110 and the support plate 130, realizing an effective connection between the cover 120 and the housing 110, so that the cover 120 can accurately cover the support plate 130.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the connector 140 includes a first connecting part 141, a rotating connecting part 145, and a second connecting part 147 connected in sequence. The first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 147 are arranged in parallel. The rotating connecting part 145 is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting section 152. The first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 147 are fixedly connected to the housing 110 by a first fastener.

[0033] Specifically, the connector 140 is integrally formed, and the parallel first connecting portion 141 and the second connecting portion 147 are fixed to the housing 110 by a first fastener, which can evenly distribute the force during connection and prevent the connector 140 from loosening or deforming during use. The rotating connecting portion 145 can be rotatably connected to the rotating connecting section 152. The rotating connecting portion 145 has a receiving cavity for the rotating connecting section 152 to be inserted to ensure the reliability of the connection. The first fastener can be a bolt that passes through the second connecting portion 147 and the first connecting portion 141 in sequence and is connected to the housing 110, thereby fixing the connector 140.

[0034] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 The first fastener can adjust the distance between the first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 147 to adjust the rotational friction between the rotating connecting part 145 and the rotating connecting section 152.

[0035] Specifically, when the first fastener can be a bolt, when one end of the first fastener is screwed into the housing 110, the limiting cap of the bolt can compress the second connecting part 147, thereby shortening the distance between the first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 147. In this way, the deformation between the first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 147 can reduce the accommodating cavity formed in the rotating connecting part 145 for the rotating connecting section 152 to be inserted, thereby increasing the rotational friction between the rotating connecting part 145 and the rotating connecting section 152, so as to realize the slow-down operation when the cover 120 is closed, and avoid impact on the support plate 130 when the cover 120 is closed.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in another optional embodiment of this application, the connector 140 is flush with the upper surface of the support plate 130, and the fixed connecting section 154 extends from the support plate 130 to the support plate 130.

[0037] Specifically, the connector 140 is flush with the upper surface of the support plate 130, and the fixed connecting section 154 extends from the support plate 130 to the top of the support plate 130, also to optimize the spatial layout of the connection structure. This arrangement allows the connecting shaft 150 to better adapt to the spacing between the housing 110 and the support plate 130, ensuring a tight connection between the cover 120 and the support plate 130, and achieving effective protection of the components on the support plate 130 by the cover 120.

[0038] like Figure 6As shown, the connector 140 includes a fixed connecting part 142, an extension part 143, and a rotating connecting part 145 connected in sequence. The rotating connecting part 145 is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting section 152. The extension part 143 is provided with an adjustment port 1432 extending along the width direction of the connecting section. The extension part 142 is also provided with an adjustment member, which can adjust the width of the adjustment port 1432 to adjust the rotational friction between the rotating connecting part 145 and the rotating connecting section 152. The side of the extension part 143 facing the support plate 130 is provided with a relief groove 1434 for avoiding the support plate 130.

[0039] Specifically, the connector 140 consists of a fixed connecting part 142, an extension part 143, and a rotating connecting part 145 connected in sequence. The rotating connecting part 145 is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting section 152. The extension part 143 is provided with an adjustment port 1432 extending along the width direction of the connecting section, and also has an adjustment member. The width of the adjustment port 1432 can be adjusted by the adjustment member, thereby adjusting the rotational friction between the rotating connecting part 145 and the rotating connecting section 152. Furthermore, the side of the extension part 143 facing the support plate 130 has a clearance groove 1434 to avoid interference between the connector 140 and the support plate 130 during connection and use. The adjustment member can be a screw. Tightening the screw can compress the two sides of the adjustment port 1432 at the location of the extension part 143, causing them to move closer together. This reduces the size of the accommodating cavity formed within the rotating connecting part 145 for the insertion of the rotating connecting section 152, thus adjusting the friction.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a limiting notch 1452 is provided on the rotating connecting part 145, and a pin 156 is provided on the rotating connecting section 152. The pin 156 is held in the limiting notch 1452 and is used to limit the rotation angle of the cover 120.

[0041] Specifically, by holding the pin 156 within the limiting notch 1452, the rotation angle of the cover 120 during rotation is constrained by the limiting notch 1452 and the pin 156, preventing excessive rotation and ensuring the safety and accuracy of the cover 120 during opening and closing.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the edge of the cover 120 is also provided with an elastic element 160. The elastic element 160 includes an elastic body 162 and a retaining part 164 disposed in the elastic body 162. The cover 120 is provided with a retaining groove 124. The elastic body 162 can be clamped on the opposite sides of the side wall of the cover 120, and the retaining part 164 is engaged with the retaining groove 124.

[0043] Specifically, the elastic element 160 consists of an elastic body 162 and a retaining part 164 disposed within the elastic body 162, with a corresponding retaining groove 124 provided on the cover 120. The elastic body 162 can clamp onto opposite sides of the side wall of the cover 120, and the retaining part 164 is engaged with the retaining groove 124. This design allows the elastic element 160 to be securely installed on the edge of the cover 120, while utilizing the elastic cushioning characteristics of the elastic body 162 to prevent rigid collisions between the cover 120 and the support plate 130. The elastic element 160 can be made of rubber or silicone to provide cushioning protection, reducing collisions and impacts during the closing process of the cover 120, protecting the record player's components from damage, and also making the cover closing process quieter, thus improving the user experience.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the connecting part 122 is located on the outside of the cover 120. The connecting part 122 has a limiting hole 1222 for inserting and fixing the connecting section 154. The inner side of the cover 120 corresponding to the connecting part 122 is provided with a groove 126.

[0045] Specifically, the cover 120 is typically made in one piece by injection molding. In practical applications, it can be made of transparent or semi-transparent materials. Because the connection between the connecting part 122 and the cover 120 is too thick, defects are prone to occur during the injection molding process. By providing a groove 126 on the inner side of the cover 120 corresponding to the connecting part 122, it is beneficial to better mold the product and ensure the yield rate.

[0046] This utility model also discloses a record player, including the record player housing connection structure 100 in the foregoing embodiments. This record player has the same structure and beneficial effects as the record player housing connection structure 100 in the foregoing embodiments. The structure and beneficial effects of the record player housing connection structure 100 have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0047] 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.
