[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a turntable 100, including: a speaker 110, and a support panel 120 connected to the speaker 110. The support panel 120 is provided with a turntable assembly 130 and a tonearm assembly 140. The turntable assembly 130 includes a drive member 132 disposed on the support panel 120, and a platter body 134 rotatably connected to the support panel 120. The platter body 134 includes an inner platter 1342 and an outer platter 1344 connected to each other. The drive member 132 is pulsatorically connected to the inner platter 1342. The support panel 120 is also provided with a light strip structure 150, all or part of which is disposed outside the orthographic projection range of the inner platter 1342 on the support panel 120.

[0027] Specifically, orthographic projection refers to projecting the inner disk 1342 downwards along a direction perpendicular to the support panel 120, forming a projection area on the support panel 120 below the inner disk 1342. To ensure that the light emitted by the light strip structure 150 passes through the gap between the disk 134 and the support panel 120, the light strip structure 150 can be positioned outside the orthographic projection range of the inner disk 1342 on the support panel 120, thus avoiding the projection area of ​​the inner disk 1342. Alternatively, part of the light strip structure 150 can be positioned outside the projection area of ​​the inner disk 1342, while another part overlaps with the projection area of ​​the inner disk 1342. Both of these configurations ensure the transmission of the rendering light generated by the light strip structure 150.

[0028] The turntable 100 provided in this application embodiment directly compensates for the lack of light emission in traditional record players by adding a light strip structure 150 to the support panel 120, giving the turntable 100 the ability to create an atmosphere and meeting users' demands for enhanced aesthetics and a richer user experience. Furthermore, all or part of the light strip structure 150 is positioned outside the projected area of ​​the inner disc 1342, effectively preventing the inner disc 1342 from obstructing the light. In this way, the light emitted by the light strip structure 150 can diffuse evenly and stably to the surrounding area, forming a clear and continuous light and shadow effect, which is beneficial for improving the visual experience and thus enhancing the user's overall experience.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the light strip structure 150 is annular, and a portion of the light strip structure 150 is located outside the orthographic projection range of the inner disk 1342 on the support panel 120.

[0030] Specifically, the light strip structure 150 is designed as a ring, forming a circumferentially distributed light-emitting area around the rotating disc 134. This shape matches the circular structure of the disc 134 of the turntable 100, creating a light and shadow effect around the disc 134. Furthermore, a portion of the ring light strip 152 is located outside the projected area of ​​the inner disc 1342, preventing excessive light obstruction by the inner disc 1342 while creating a more layered light and shadow effect. For example, the portion of the ring light strip 152 near the inner disc 1342 may be slightly obscured by the inner disc 1342, while the outer portion is fully exposed, resulting in a gradual change in light from the inside out, rather than a single uniform emission. This further enhances the ability to create atmosphere and solves the problem of monotonous visual effects in traditional ambient lighting. In addition, the ring-shaped light strip can achieve 360° circumferential illumination, ensuring good lighting effects when viewed from different angles, improving the user's overall experience.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the light strip structure 150 includes an annular light strip 152 and a light-transmitting lampshade 154 corresponding to the annular light strip 152.

[0032] Specifically, in practical applications, the ring-shaped light strip 152 can utilize a ring-shaped circuit board with multiple LEDs arranged in a circumferential array on the board. The light-transmitting lampshade 154 can completely or partially cover the ring-shaped light strip 152 and is translucent, allowing the light emitted from the ring-shaped light strip 152 to pass through. The light-transmitting lampshade 154 is made of a translucent material, allowing light to scatter and refract during transmission, transforming the originally dispersed point light source into a uniform surface light source, forming a soft and continuous ring-shaped light and shadow, further solving the problem of poor visual effects of ambient lighting in background technology. In addition, the light-transmitting lampshade 154 provides physical protection for the ring-shaped light strip 152, preventing dust, water stains, and other impurities from directly contacting the light strip, which helps ensure the stability of the ring-shaped light strip 152 during use. It should also be noted that the light-transmitting lampshade 154 can also serve a decorative purpose; its surface can be designed with different textures such as frosted or striped, further enriching the presentation of light and shadow and enhancing the visual experience during use.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the support panel 120 is provided with an annular groove 122, and the bottom of the annular groove 122 is provided with a through hole 1222. The annular light strip 152 and the light-transmitting lamp cover 154 are located in the annular groove 122, and the wires connected to the annular light strip 152 can pass through the through hole 1222 and extend into the speaker 110.

[0034] Specifically, the annular groove 122 provides dedicated installation space for the annular light strip 152 and the light-transmitting lampshade 154, which can position and fix them, preventing the annular light strip 152 or the light-transmitting lampshade 154 from shifting or falling off during the handling and movement of the turntable 100, thus ensuring the stability of the lighting effect. Compared with directly pasting the light strip to the surface of the support panel 120, the structure installed by the annular groove 122 is more robust and has a longer service life. In addition, the through hole 1222 provided at the bottom of the annular groove 122 allows the wires to extend orderly from the support panel 120 into the speaker cabinet 110, avoiding the wires being exposed on the outside, and also facilitating the integration of the wires with the circuit system inside the speaker cabinet 110, improving the rationality of the overall circuit design.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the annular groove 122 is also provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 1224, the annular light strip 152 is provided with a plurality of second positioning holes 1522, and the light-transmitting lamp cover 154 is provided with positioning posts 1542, which are sequentially inserted into the second positioning holes 1522 and the first positioning holes 1224.

[0036] In practical applications, the first positioning hole 1224 is a blind hole or through hole formed at the bottom of the annular groove 122. Its number and position are set according to positioning requirements, and it is usually evenly distributed around the circumference of the annular groove 122. The second positioning hole 1522 is a through hole formed on the annular light strip 152. Its number, position, and size are matched with the first positioning hole 1224 to ensure that the positioning post 1542 can pass through smoothly. The positioning post 1542 is a columnar protrusion 1548 set on the inner side of the light-transmitting lamp cover 154. Its number is the same as the first positioning hole 1224 and the second positioning hole 1522, and its size is adapted to the positioning hole so that it can be tightly inserted into the positioning hole. During assembly, the positioning post 1542 on the light-transmitting lampshade 154 first passes through the second positioning hole 1522 on the annular light strip 152, and then inserts into the first positioning hole 1224 at the bottom of the annular groove 122. Through the cooperation of the positioning post 1542 with the first positioning hole 1224 and the second positioning hole 1522, the precise positioning of the annular light strip 152 and the light-transmitting lampshade 154 is achieved.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the light-transmitting lampshade 154 includes a first perimeter 1544 and a second perimeter 1546 with an L-shaped cross section. The first perimeter 1544 is parallel to the plane of the support panel 120 and abuts against the side of the annular groove 122. The second perimeter 1546 abuts against the bottom of the annular groove 122. The positioning post 1542 is disposed on the first perimeter 1544.

[0038] Specifically, the L-shaped light-transmitting lampshade 154 achieves comprehensive positioning in both radial and axial directions through the abutment of the first edge 1544 against the side of the annular groove 122 and the abutment of the second edge 1546 against the bottom of the annular groove 122. This effectively prevents the light-transmitting lampshade 154 from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring that it always accurately covers the annular light strip 152. The L-shaped first edge 1544 and second edge 1546 form a semi-enclosed protective space, which, when combined with the annular groove 122, provides all-around protection for the annular light strip 152.

[0039] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 The positioning post 1542 is provided with a protrusion 1548, which is used to abut against the ring light strip 152.

[0040] Specifically, the protrusion 1548 abuts against the surface of the annular light strip 152 to press the annular light strip 152 against the bottom of the annular groove 122, thereby preventing the annular light strip 152 from axially moving or shaking within the annular groove 122, which helps to ensure the stability of the assembly.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer plate 1344 has a retaining edge 1346 facing the direction of the support panel 120.

[0042] Specifically, the aforementioned edge 1346 can shield the inner disc 1342, and when the drive unit 132 (motor) is connected to the inner disc 1342 via a belt, it can also shield the belt, which helps to ensure the overall neatness of the appearance and improve the user's perception.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, a receiving groove 112 is formed on the top of the speaker 110, and a support panel 120 is located in the receiving groove 112. The edge of the support panel 120 has a gap with the side wall of the receiving groove 112. The support panel 120 is connected to the speaker 110 through a vibration damping assembly 160.

[0044] Specifically, the support panel 120 is located within the receiving groove 112, enhancing the overall appearance and aesthetics of the turntable 100, meeting users' demands for a simple and elegant product design. Simultaneously, the receiving groove 112 provides some protection for the support panel 120; its sidewalls can block external collisions and impacts, reducing direct impact on the support panel 120. A gap exists between the edge of the support panel 120 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 112. The support panel 120 is connected to the speaker 110 via a vibration damping component 160. While the vibration damping component 160 absorbs and buffers vibrations transmitted from the speaker 110, reducing the impact of vibrations on the platter assembly 130 and tonearm assembly 140, it avoids direct contact between the support panel 120 and the speaker 110, ensuring the effectiveness of the vibration damping component 160. The vibration damping component 160 can adopt currently common structural forms, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0045] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 6 The turntable 100 also includes a cover 170, which can be fastened to the speaker 110 and covers the support panel 120.

[0046] Specifically, the cover 170 can be made of a transparent or semi-transparent material. When the turntable 100 is not in use, the closed cover 170 can effectively prevent dust, hair, water stains, and other impurities from falling onto the support panel 120, platter assembly 130, and tonearm assembly 140, preventing impurities from entering the gaps between the components and ensuring overall cleanliness. In addition, when the cover 170 is fastened to the speaker 110, a latching structure such as a protrusion can be provided at the corresponding position of the cover 170 to ensure a stable fastening with the speaker 110.

[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.
