[0039] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the speaker provided by this utility model includes: a lower cover assembly 1 and a charging mechanism.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the charging structure includes a charging connector 5 and a rechargeable battery 15, which provide power for the speaker to operate. The charging mechanism is located inside the lower cover assembly 1.

[0041] The lower cover assembly 1 is generally columnar and has four circumferential surfaces. One of the surfaces is provided with a recessed platform 2 that is recessed inward. The platform surface of the platform 2, that is, the surface that is lower than the axial side surface of the lower cover assembly 1, is provided with a charging interface 3 that communicates with the interior of the lower cover assembly 1. The connector 5 of the charging mechanism is located inside the charging interface 3.

[0042] The charging port 3 on the speaker is located on the countertop of the recessed platform 2 on the circumferential side wall of the lower cover assembly 1. In environments such as kitchens, water or condensation on the side of the lower cover assembly 1 will flow from top to bottom to the recessed platform 2 and drip directly down, instead of being bent and flowing laterally into the charging port 3 inside the recessed platform 2, thus improving the waterproof performance of the charging port 3.

[0043] The lower cover assembly 1 has a circumferentially protruding water-blocking structure on its outer circumferential wall. This water-blocking structure includes a water-blocking section 18 located above the submerged platform 2, and water-guiding sections 19 extending downwards in an arc shape from both ends of the water-blocking section 18. The two water-guiding sections 19 are located on the left and right sides of the submerged platform 2, respectively. By providing a water-blocking structure on the side wall, the water-blocking section 18 above the submerged platform 2 can block the downward-flowing water, and then the water-guiding sections 19 on both sides guide the water to the left and right sides of the submerged platform 2, preventing it from flowing into the interior of the submerged platform 2.

[0044] After the two water diversion sections 19 extend to the middle of the vertical position of the sinking platform 2, they can extend around the lower cover assembly 1 around the circumference.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, the water-blocking section 18 forms a shielding area along its vertical downward projection. The charging interface 3 adopts a recessed design and is set inside the recessed platform 2 so that the charging interface 3 is located inside the shielding area. Water flowing down from top to bottom drips directly from the outer edge of the water-blocking section 18 due to gravity. The charging interface 3 located inside the shielding area formed by the water-blocking section 18 is not affected by the dripping water.

[0046] Furthermore, the two water-guiding sections 19 are located on the left and right sides of the charging interface 3, respectively, with the lowest point of each water-guiding section 19 spaced apart from the charging interface 3. The water-guiding sections 19 guide the water blocked by the water-blocking section 18 to the left and right sides of the charging interface 3. Also, because the lowest point of each water-guiding section 19 is spaced apart from the charging interface 3, the discharged water is also far away from the charging interface 3, creating a relatively dry environment around the charging interface 3.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the speaker also includes a plug 4, which is detachably connected to the charging interface 3 and is used to block the charging interface 3.

[0048] The plug 4 can be a separate component or connected to the lower cover assembly 1 via a connecting rope or other structure to prevent loss. When charging is required, the plug 4 is removed, and after charging is complete, the plug 4 is used to seal the charging interface 3.

[0049] Furthermore, in order to allow the plug 4 to be inserted deeper and improve the tightness of the connection between the plug 4 and the lower cover assembly 1, the plug 4 includes an insertion part that is inserted into the charging interface 3. The insertion part is provided with a notch for avoiding the connector 5. When the plug 4 is fully inserted into the charging interface, the outer wall of the insertion part is sealed to the inner wall of the charging interface 3, and the connector 5 is inserted into the notch to form an avoidance relationship.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shape and size of the plug 4 correspond to the recessed platform 2, so that after the plug 4 is inserted into the charging interface 3, the plug 4 fills the recessed platform 2, thereby forming a smooth transition of the circumferential outer wall of the lower cover assembly 1, which is convenient for wiping and cleaning, and is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the speaker also includes a top cover assembly 7, which includes an ambient light 8, a light guide ring 9, and a top cover 10. The ambient light 8, the light guide ring 9, and the top cover 10 are all located above the bottom cover assembly 1. The ambient light 8 is located inside the light guide ring 9. The top cover 10 has mounting holes, and the light guide ring 9 is located inside the mounting holes. The top cover 10 has a reflective surface 17 facing the outer circumferential wall of the light guide ring 9. The reflective surface 17 is used to reflect light emitted laterally from the outer circumferential wall of the light guide ring 9 upwards. The outer circumferential wall of the light guide ring 9 and the inner circumferential wall of the top cover 10 are injection molded together using a two-material injection molding process.

[0052] A top cover 10 is provided on the outer circumferential side of the light guide ring 9. The top cover 10 is provided with a reflective surface 17 facing the outer circumferential side wall of the light guide ring 9. The reflective surface 17 can be arc-shaped. The reflective surface 17 is used to reflect the light emitted laterally from the outer circumferential side wall of the light guide ring 9 upwards so that it can be easily observed by the user. However, the setting of the reflective surface 17 will cause a recessed structure to be formed at the top cover 10, which is prone to water accumulation. Therefore, in this embodiment, the top cover 10 and the light guide ring 9 are injection molded into one piece using a two-material injection molding process to achieve the connection between the two and waterproofing.

[0053] The light guide ring 9 has a first concave-convex structure 11 on its outer circumferential wall, and the upper cover 10 has a second concave-convex structure 12 on its inner circumferential wall. The first concave-convex structure 11 and the second concave-convex structure 12 are complementary. The light guide ring 9 and the upper cover 10 are connected vertically by the first concave-convex structure 11 and the second concave-convex structure 12, which improves the firmness and sealing of the connection between the two materials.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, similarly, the upper cover 10 and the lower cover assembly 1 are also connected vertically through a docking structure; specifically, the docking structure includes a third concave-convex structure 13 provided on the upper cover 10 and a fourth concave-convex structure 14 provided on the lower cover assembly 1. The third concave-convex structure 13 and the fourth concave-convex structure 14 are interlocked to prevent water and moisture from entering the product and improve the product's waterproofness.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the charging mechanism also includes a rechargeable battery 15, which is suspended inside the lower cover assembly 1. The bottom of the rechargeable battery 15 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the lower cover assembly 1. This suspension method keeps the rechargeable battery 15 away from the bottom of the lower cover, preventing damage to the battery 15 due to internal water ingress.

[0056] The lower cover assembly 1 is internally equipped with magnets 16, each capable of withstanding a tangential force at least one times the weight of the speaker itself. In this embodiment, four magnets 16 are distributed at the four corners of the lower cover assembly 1. The magnetic attraction of the four magnets 16 can withstand a tangential force more than three times the weight of the speaker itself, preventing it from falling off when magnetically attached. The speaker can be used and stored magnetically.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
