Background Technology An audio system refers to a combination of electrical devices that produce sound. The history of audio technology development can be divided into four stages: vacuum tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, and field-effect transistors. Currently, the speakers of most audio systems are fixed to the speaker housing. The number and position of the speakers are arranged as needed, but whether it is a single speaker or multiple speakers, they are fixed to the speaker housing by means of adhesive, clips, or screws, and the position of the speaker relative to the speaker housing remains unchanged.

[0002] The inventors discovered during their research that existing audio technologies have at least the following drawbacks: The speaker position is fixed and cannot be adjusted as needed. The only adjustment is to change the position of the speaker itself, which makes it unchanging in use and results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0022] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0023] In the existing technology, the speaker 310 in a typical audio system, also known as a loudspeaker, is fixed in a set position on the speaker housing. To adjust the sound effect, one usually adjusts the working mode of the speaker 310 itself, or moves the speaker directly to change its position, such as raising or lowering it. Adjusting the sound effect by moving the speaker's position is cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0024] In view of this, the designers have provided a multi-functional speaker that can flexibly adjust the position of the speaker 310 without moving the housing 100. It is easy to operate, can adapt to different scenario needs, and provides a high level of user experience.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-10 This embodiment provides a multi-functional speaker, including a housing 100, a controller 200, a speaker 310, and a first drive mechanism 320. The controller 200, speaker 310, and first drive mechanism 320 are all mounted on the housing 100. The controller 200 is communicatively connected to both the speaker 310 and the first drive mechanism 320. The first drive mechanism 320 is connected to the speaker 310 and is used to drive the speaker 310 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the speaker 310 extending out of the housing 100.

[0026] As described above, the multi-functional speaker provided in this embodiment operates as follows: By cooperating with the first drive mechanism 320, the operating state of the first drive mechanism 320 can be adjusted during the use of the audio system. This allows the first drive mechanism 320 to move the speaker 310 relative to the housing 100, adjusting the position of the speaker 310 relative to the housing 100. This adjustment is possible without moving the housing 100, offering flexibility and adaptability to various scenarios. Furthermore, the first drive mechanism 320 can control the height of the speaker 310 extending from the housing 100, adjusting the sound output and enhancing the user experience. In some scenarios, the speaker 310 can also retract into the housing 100, making it less susceptible to contamination and impact damage, resulting in a low failure rate and long service life.

[0027] The following embodiments illustrate the details of the multifunctional speaker of this application by way of example.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-10In this embodiment, optionally, the multi-functional speaker includes a housing 100, a controller 200, two sound-emitting modules 300, and a display module 400. The controller 200, the two sound-emitting modules 300, and the display module 400 are all mounted on the housing 100, and the controller 200 is communicatively connected to both sound-emitting modules 300 and the display module 400. For example, the controller 200 can be electrically connected to the sound-emitting modules and the display module 400 via a power cord.

[0029] It should be understood that the multi-functional speaker can have its own battery, or the battery can be a rechargeable battery that can be used repeatedly. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the controller 200 is provided with an electrical socket, one end of a power adapter is electrically connected to the electrical socket, and the other end of the power adapter is electrically plugged into a socket connected to the mains power supply, thus providing power to the multi-functional speaker through the mains power. The power adapter can be purchased directly and can provide a stable and safe operating voltage for the multi-functional speaker, reducing the failure rate.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 4-5 Optionally, the housing 100 can be configured as a rectangular box, having a bottom wall 110 and a top wall 120 oppositely arranged, and a rectangular annular wall 130 connecting the bottom wall 110 and the top wall 120. An anti-slip rubber sleeve can be installed on the bottom wall 110, preventing slippage on the workbench and direct contact between the housing 100 and dirt, thus preventing corrosion. Two positioning through holes 121 are provided on the top wall 120. Both positioning through holes 121 can be circular holes, spaced apart, with the distance between them designed as needed. The size and shape of the two positioning through holes 121 can be the same or different. The two positioning through holes 121 can respectively position two sound-emitting modules 300. Furthermore, a display window 131 and a mounting through hole 132 can be provided on the rectangular annular wall 130. The display window 131 can be used to position the display module 400, and the mounting through hole 132 can be used to position the operation panel of the controller 200.

[0031] It should be understood that the housing 100 can be configured as a split structure. For example, the bottom wall 110 or the top wall 120 can be detachably connected to the rectangular annular wall 130, facilitating the opening of the bottom wall 110 or the top wall 120 for disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of internal components. Obviously, in some embodiments, an operating port can also be provided on the rectangular annular wall 130, with an openable or closable door at the operating port. By opening the door, it is convenient to perform disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of components from the operating port.

[0032] In this embodiment, optionally, the controller 200 can be directly purchased. The controller 200 generally includes a circuit board, multiple electrical components and chips integrated on the circuit board, and a control panel electrically connected to the circuit board. The working principle of the controller 200 can refer to existing known structures. The controller 200 can send signals to control the operation of the sound module 300 and the display module 400. The control panel can be installed at the location of the mounting through-hole 132, exposing the control panel for easy operation. The control panel can be a touch panel or a physical button panel, etc.

[0033] In this embodiment, optionally, the two sound-generating modules 300 can be configured to have the same structure to reduce manufacturing costs. To avoid repetition, this embodiment uses one sound-generating module 300 as an example for explanation.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 6-8 Optionally, the sound-generating module 300 includes a speaker 310 and a first drive mechanism 320. The controller 200 is communicatively connected to both the speaker 310 and the first drive mechanism 320; the first drive mechanism 320 is connected to the speaker 310 and is used to drive the speaker 310 to rise and fall, so as to adjust the height of the speaker 310 extending out of the housing 100.

[0035] Optionally, the first drive mechanism 320 includes a guide cylinder 321, a sliding member 322, and a power unit 323. The guide cylinder 321 is a circular cylinder, passing through the positioning through hole 121. The guide cylinder 321 and the positioning through hole 121 are coaxial. The top of the guide cylinder 321 has an outwardly flared annular flange 3211, which contacts the top wall 120. The two can be fixedly connected by screws or other fasteners. A guide groove 3212 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the guide cylinder 321, extending along the axis of the guide cylinder 321. Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​groove 3213 is provided at the bottom of the guide cylinder 321, extending along the axis of the guide cylinder 321. The sliding member 322 is located inside the guide cylinder 321, and is slidably connected to the guide cylinder 321 along the extending direction of the axis of the guide cylinder 321. The power unit 323 is mounted on the guide cylinder 321 and connected to the sliding member 322. The power unit 323 is used to drive the sliding member 322 to slide relative to the guide cylinder 321. The speaker 310 is connected to the sliding member 322, and the movement of the sliding member 322 drives the speaker 310 to move.

[0036] Specifically, the power unit 323 includes a first motor 3231, a transmission gear 3232, and a transmission rack 3233. The first motor 3231 can be mounted on the sliding member 322 using fasteners such as screws. The transmission gear 3232 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the first motor 3231. The end of the shaft of the transmission gear 3232 away from the first motor 3231 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 3212, and the shaft can rotate relative to the guide groove 3212. The engagement of the shaft with the guide groove 3212 not only provides a guiding effect, but also reduces friction and wear due to the shaft's ability to rotate relative to the guide groove 3212. The transmission rack 3233 is engaged in the engaging groove 3213, and is clamped by a clamping plate 324 in cooperation with the guide cylinder 321. The transmission rack 3233 can be mounted on the guide cylinder 321 using fasteners such as screws, and the length of the transmission rack 3233 extends along the axis of the guide cylinder 321. After assembly, the transmission gear 3232 meshes with the transmission rack 3233. Simultaneously, the first motor 3231 can be electrically connected to the controller 200 via a power cord. When the first motor 3231 starts, it drives the transmission gear 3232 to rotate. Since the transmission rack 3233 meshes with the transmission gear 3232, and both the transmission rack 3233 and the guide cylinder 321 are fixed relative to the housing 100, the sliding member 322, the first motor 3231, the transmission gear 3232, and the speaker 310 can rise and fall together, thereby adjusting the height of the speaker 310 extending out of the positioning through hole 121.

[0037] Optionally, the sliding component 322 may include a bracket 3221 and a fixing strip 3222. The bracket 3221 is provided with a first slot 3223, and the fixing strip 3222 is provided with a second slot 3224. The first motor 3231 engages with both the first slot 3223 and the second slot 3224. That is, during assembly, one side of the first motor 3231 can be first engaged in the first slot 3223, and then the second slot 3224 of the fixing strip 3222 can be engaged with the other side of the first motor 3231. The fixing strip 3222 is then fixed to the bracket 3221 using screws or other fasteners. The bracket 3221 and the fixing strip 3222 work together to clamp the first motor 3231, ensuring the stable position of the first motor 3231 and allowing it to move up and down with the sliding component 322.

[0038] It should be understood that the speaker 310 can be fixed to the bracket 3221 with screws or other fasteners. After assembly, the speaker 310, bracket 3221, first motor 3231, and fixing strip 3222 are arranged roughly from top to bottom, making reasonable use of longitudinal space and improving the compactness of the overall structure. Furthermore, with the speaker 310 extending from the top of the guide cylinder 321, maintenance of the speaker 310 is also more convenient.

[0039] It should be understood that a sealing ring can be provided between the guide cylinder 321 and the top wall 120 of the housing 100 to improve the sealing performance. Similarly, a sealing element can also be provided on the top of the speaker 310. When the speaker 310 retracts into the guide cylinder 321, the sealing element can close the top opening of the guide cylinder 321, improving the sealing performance and achieving the effect of waterproofing and dustproofing.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 9-10 In this embodiment, optionally, the display module 400 includes a display screen 410 and a second driving mechanism 420. The number of display screens 410 can be three, and each of the three display screens 410 cooperates with the second driving mechanism 420. The second driving mechanism 420 can drive the three display screens 410 to rotate, thereby selectively rotating one display screen 410 to the display window 131 to display corresponding image information.

[0041] Optionally, the second drive mechanism 420 includes a second motor 421 and a support frame 422. The second motor 421 can be mounted on the rectangular ring wall 130 using fasteners such as screws. The rotation axis of the second motor 421 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first motor 3231; that is, the axis of rotation of the first motor 3231 extends vertically, while the axis of rotation of the second motor 421 extends horizontally, and the two are perpendicular to each other. One end of the support frame 422 is connected to the rotation axis of the second motor 421, and the other end of the support frame 422 is rotatably connected to the rectangular ring wall 130 via a bearing. The structure of the support frame 422 is stable. Multiple displays 410 are mounted on the support frame 422 and arranged sequentially around the rotation axis of the second motor 421. The three displays 410 are roughly arranged in a triangular pattern. When the second motor 421 is started, it can drive the three displays 410 to rotate via the support frame 422, thereby rotating one of the corresponding displays 410 to the display window 131, where different patterns can be displayed as needed.

[0042] It should be understood that, in order to improve the sealing performance, a transparent sealing plate can be installed at the display window 131 without affecting the viewing of the content displayed on the display screen 410 from the outside.

[0043] It should be understood that the second motor 421 can be electrically connected to the controller 200 via a power cord.

[0044] In other embodiments, speaker modules 500 electrically connected to the controller 200 may also be installed on opposite sides of the rectangular ring wall 130.

[0045] In addition, the controller 200 can also communicate with smart terminals such as mobile phones and tablets via Bluetooth or wireless networks, enabling remote control of the working status of the first motor 3231, the second motor 421, etc.

[0046] The multi-functional speaker provided in this embodiment allows adjustment of the operating status of the first motor 3231 and the second motor 421 via a control panel. The first motor 3231 drives the speaker 310 to rise and fall, thus adjusting the height of the speaker 310. The second motor 421 adjusts the exposure of different displays 410 in the display window 131, facilitating the viewing of different images. The two sound modules 300 are independently controllable; that is, the controller 200 can control the operating status of the two first motors 3231 separately, and the positions of the two speakers 310 can be adjusted independently, providing flexible use.

[0047] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
