Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnetic tape player technology, specifically a novel magnetic tape player. Background Technology

[0002] As a technologically mature music playback device, the cassette player could directly read music from the cassette tape and was used as the primary music playback device for a considerable period of time.

[0003] However, existing cassette players generally have a single-layer casing, which has certain deficiencies in impact resistance and is easily damaged by external impacts. Furthermore, the control panel on cassette players is usually located on one side of the casing. If users want to adjust the playback content while carrying the cassette player, they need to make adjustments at a specific location on the cassette player. Moreover, obstructions during transport limit the control methods for cassette playback. In addition, most existing cassette players rely on the cassette tape to obtain audio data for music playback, resulting in a single method of audio data acquisition and a lack of ability to transfer audio data from the tape to other media, thus limiting the functionality of cassette players.

The main playback control panel 11, the secondary playback control panel 21, and the data transmission module 12 are all electrically connected to the first PCB 6.

[0025] It should be noted that the bottom shell 2 and the front shell 3 are designed with a combination of metal and plastic, which enhances their impact resistance and makes the outer shell structure of the tape player stronger. The loading device 7 with a mode conversion structure is used as the core, which can realize automatic rewind. The tape playback is pure stereo and can be played out through the dual speakers 52. The main playback control panel 11 is used to control the operation of the loading device 7, and the secondary playback control panel 21 can independently control the operation of the speakers 52. The data transmission module 12 can transfer the tape content to a USB flash drive without loss, and the USB flash drive can be played clearly directly on the product.

[0026] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the data transmission module 12 includes a data transmission interface 121 and a headphone jack 122. Both the data transmission interface 121 and the headphone jack 122 are electrically connected to the first PCB 6. The data transmission interface 121 communicates with the processor through the first PCB 6.

[0027] The data transmission interface 121 provides a location for inserting the USB flash drive, thereby transmitting audio data to the processor through the data transmission interface 121. The processor then controls the speaker 52 to play the audio data. The processor can also transfer audio data from the magnetic tape to the USB flash drive on the data transmission interface 121, thereby realizing the operation of lossless transfer of magnetic tape content to the USB flash drive.

[0028] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the main playback control panel 11 includes a plurality of first control buttons 111.

[0029] Among them, several first control buttons 111 include a pause button, a sequential playback button, a rewind button, a switch button, a loop playback button, and a DIR button. Users can form control commands through these buttons and transmit them to the processor. The processor then controls the operation of the loading device 7 according to the commands, thereby controlling the playback of the tape content. The main playback control panel 11 is set up so that users can easily control the tape player when it is placed on the surface of other objects.

[0030] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the secondary playback control panel 21 includes several second control buttons 211 and a second PCB 212. The second PCB 212 is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the middle part of the bottom shell 2. The second control buttons 211 are connected to the bottom shell 2 through and electrically connected to the second PCB 212. The second control buttons 211 are connected to the processor through the second PCB 212 to realize the transmission of control commands.

[0031] The second control button 211 includes a pause button, a play button, an up switch button, and a down switch button. Users can use these buttons to generate control commands and transmit them to the processor. The processor then controls the speaker 52 according to the commands, thereby controlling the playback of the tape content. The secondary playback control panel 21 allows users to easily control the tape player while carrying it.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom shell 2 on the outer side of the second PCB212 has at least two sound ports 22 composed of several through holes, and the position of the speaker 52 corresponds to the position of the sound ports 22.

[0033] The speaker port 22 allows the sound from the speaker 52 to be transmitted outside the tape player.

[0034] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the main housing 1 containing the data transmission module 12 has a power switch 13 and a volume control knob 14. Both the power switch 13 and the volume control knob 14 are electrically connected to the first PCB 6. Both the power switch 13 and the volume control knob 14 are connected to the processor through the first PCB 6 to realize the transmission of control commands.

[0035] The power switch 13 can control the start and stop of the tape player, while the volume control knob 14 can control the playback volume of the speaker 52.

[0036] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 6 As shown, at least two fixing seats 15 are provided on the inner wall of the main shell 1 on one side of the cabin 8.
