Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a handle assembly for electronic devices, and more specifically to an electronic device having a handle assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Portable speaker equipment often requires frequent moving or relocation in practical use. For example, stage or party speaker equipment often needs to be transported to the target venue before a performance or event, and then moved to another location or stored after use. To improve the convenience and efficiency of moving the equipment, such speaker equipment is often equipped with carrying handles.

[0003] Among various handle components, sliding handles are widely used in speaker equipment due to their retractable design, simple appearance, and flexible operation. These handles typically connect to the device's casing via a sliding groove, allowing them to be pulled out during use and retracted when not in use, thus balancing functionality and aesthetics. However, existing sliding handles still face several technical challenges in practical applications that urgently need to be addressed.

[0004] First, the handles are prone to jamming during sliding, resulting in a stiff and unsmooth operation, which may even affect their normal function in severe cases. Second, some handles lack an effective automatic reset mechanism, failing to return to their original position after being lifted, requiring manual pushing by the user, which is cumbersome. Furthermore, considering the generally high load-bearing requirements of speaker equipment, some handles are prone to deformation or breakage after prolonged use, as their structural strength fails to meet practical requirements. Additionally, some handles lack ergonomic design, leading to poor comfort during gripping. More significantly, when the speaker equipment vibrates during operation, the sliding handle may cause abnormal noises due to vibration between itself and the equipment casing, significantly affecting the product's sound quality and the user's overall experience.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to provide a sliding handle device that is structurally sound, easy to operate, has reliable load-bearing capacity, is comfortable to hold, and effectively reduces abnormal noise, so as to better meet the usage needs of portable speaker devices and improve the overall user experience.

[0037] Figure 1A-1BAn electronic device 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention is shown, wherein... Figure 1A This is a perspective view of electronic device 100. Figure 1B This is an exploded view of electronic device 100. Electronic device 100 includes an electronic device body 110 and a handle assembly 140 connected to the electronic device body 110. In one or more embodiments, electronic device 100 may be a speaker device, such as a stage speaker or party speaker device. The handle assembly 140 may be connected to a first side housing or top housing 112 of the electronic device housing of the electronic device body 110. In the use of stage speaker devices or party speaker devices, they often need to be transported to the target venue before a performance or event, and then moved to another location or stored after use. To improve the convenience and efficiency of device handling, the speaker device is equipped with a handle assembly 140. In one or more embodiments according to this invention, the speaker device may have a large mass, such as tens of kilograms or even more than twenty kilograms. Therefore, the handle assembly 140 needs to have a high load-bearing capacity. At the same time, the handle assembly 140 is expected to be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, and also needs to avoid generating abnormal noises when the speaker device is operating. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device 100 is not limited to the speaker device shown in the figure, but can be any electronic device that needs to be frequently moved or transported.

[0038] Figure 2A-2B This is a partial enlarged view of an electronic device 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, wherein... Figure 2A It is a perspective view. Figure 2B This is an exploded view. The electronic device body 110 of the electronic device 100 has a receiving groove 114 for receiving a handle assembly 140 arranged on its first side housing or top housing 112. The receiving groove 114 has two sliding grooves 120 at its bottom. These two sliding grooves 120 are located near both ends of the receiving groove 114. The extending directions of the two sliding grooves 120 are generally parallel to the extending direction of the receiving groove 114. The handle assembly 140 includes a handle body 142 and two end posts 150. The two end posts 150 are fixedly connected to the handle body 142 at or near both ends. The two end posts 150 of the handle assembly 140 are slidably received in the two sliding grooves 120. In its natural state, such as… Figure 2A As shown, most of the handle assembly 140 is housed or contained in the receiving slot 114, while at least the middle portion of its handle body 142 protrudes at least partially from the receiving slot 114. This configuration provides both an aesthetically pleasing appearance and facilitates the user's gripping of the handle body 142 of the handle assembly 140 when needed to lift the electronic device 100.

[0039] Figure 3AA perspective view of the first side housing or top housing 112, viewed from the inside of the electronic device body 110, is shown, with the handle assembly 140 in a disassembled state. Figure 3B An exploded view of a handle assembly 140 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention is shown. As shown, the handle assembly 140 includes a handle body 142 and two end posts 150, which are fixedly connected to the handle body 142 at or near both ends of the handle body 142. The two end posts 150 of the handle assembly 140 respectively engage in corresponding grooves 120 on the first side housing or the top side housing 112 of the electronic device body 110 and are slidable along the grooves 120. One end of the end post 150 is fixedly connected to the handle body 142, and the other end has a threaded hole 152.

[0040] The handle assembly 140 also includes a washer 160, a spring 170, and a screw 180. The end post 150, washer 160, spring 170, and screw 180 of the handle assembly 140 can collectively be referred to as a sliding connection structure. In the assembly position where the handle assembly 140 is mounted to the electronic device body 110, the handle body 142 is located outside the first side housing or top housing 112 of the electronic device body 110, and the end post 150 extends from the outside of the first side housing or top housing 112 through a groove 120 to the inside of the first side housing or top housing 112. The washer 160, spring 170, and screw 180 of the handle assembly 140 are connected to the end post 150 of the handle assembly 140 on the inside of the first side housing or top housing 112, thereby securely connecting the handle assembly 140 to the electronic device body 110. Here, "outer side" refers to the side outside the electronic device 100, and "inner side" refers to the side inside the electronic device.

[0041] Specifically, screw 180 has a screw head 184 and a shank 182 extending from the screw head 184. Spring 170 is a tapered spring and has a small tapered end 172 and a large tapered end 174. Washer 160 has a center hole 162. The shank 182 of screw 180 extends through the center hole 162 of spring 170 and washer 160 and is threaded into the threaded hole 152 of end post 150. The small tapered end 172 of spring 170 abuts against the screw head 184 of screw 180, and its large tapered end 184 abuts against washer 160, thereby pressing washer 160 against the inside of the first side housing or top housing 112 of electronic device body 110.

[0042] When the handle assembly 140 of the electronic device 100 is not lifted by the user, i.e., in its natural state, most of the handle body 142 of the handle assembly 140 is hidden or stored in the receiving groove 114, and the two end posts 150 of the handle assembly 140 are respectively in the corresponding slide grooves 120, with the two end posts 150 being relatively far apart from each other.

[0043] When the user lifts the handle assembly 140 of the electronic device 100, the two end posts 150 of the handle assembly 140 slide toward each other in the corresponding grooves 120, while the handle body 142 bends further and extends from the receiving groove 114. This makes it easier for the user to lift the electronic device using the handle assembly 140. However, during this process, as the handle body 142 bends further, the two end posts 150 located at both ends of the handle body 142 and the screws 180 threaded onto the two end posts 150 will tilt accordingly (i.e., no longer perpendicular to the inner surface of the first side housing or top housing 112). This, in turn, causes the gasket 160 to tend to no longer lie flat against the inner surface of the first side housing or top housing 112, but rather tilt towards the inner surface of the first side housing or top housing 112 and scrape against it. This can cause the handle assembly 140 to jam during sliding, resulting in a stiff operating feel, discontinuous sliding, and in severe cases, may affect its normal function.

[0044] In the handle assembly 140 according to this utility model, a tapered spring 170 is arranged between the head 184 of the screw 180 and the washer 160. The small tapered end of the spring 170 abuts against the screw head 184 of the screw 180, and its large tapered end 184 abuts against the washer 160. Thus, when the handle assembly 140 of the electronic device 100 is lifted by the user, and the two end posts 150 of the handle assembly 140 and the screw 180 are tilted, the spring force of the spring 170 will reliably press the washer 160 flat against the inner side of the first side housing or the top side housing 112 of the electronic device body 110 (i.e., the washer 160 is parallel to the inner surface of the first side housing or the top side housing 112 and flat against it). This ensures that the end posts 150 and the washer 160 of the handle assembly 140 slide smoothly within the groove 120.

[0045] Furthermore, by employing a tapered spring 170, the larger tapered end 174 is enlarged, making it easier to reliably press the pad 160 against the inner side of the first side housing or the top side housing 112 of the electronic device body 110. Additionally, the tapered shape of the spring 170 allows it to be substantially flattened when the electronic device 100 is lifted, which facilitates the operation of the handle assembly 140.

[0046] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the gasket 160 is disc-shaped, and its outer edge 164 is bent toward the spring member 170. The gasket 160 is sized to fit the spring member 170, and its bent edge 164 securely holds the spring member 170 (its large tapered end 174) in place, even when the handle assembly 140 is lifted and the end post 150 and screw 180 are tilted relative to the first side housing or top side housing 112 of the electronic device body 110. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the shape may be different, and its edge may not include a bend toward the spring member.

[0047] The end post 150 of the handle assembly 140 and the screw 180 threaded to the end post 150 can be collectively referred to as a connecting post. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the connecting post of the handle assembly 140 may take a different form than that shown in the figure. For example, the end post 150 of the handle assembly 140 may not include the threaded hole 152, and the handle assembly 140 may include other fasteners or connectors different from the screw 180, as long as they include an enlarged head and can be connected to the end post 150 to firmly hold the spring 170 and the washer 160 against the inner side of the first side housing or the top side housing 112 of the electronic device body 110.

[0048] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the handle body 142 of the handle assembly 140 includes a metal reinforcing core plate 144 and an elastomeric material layer 146 overmolded on the metal reinforcing core plate 144. Figures 4A-4C The manufacturing process of the handle body 142 and end posts 150 of the handle assembly 140 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention is shown. As shown, the metal reinforcing core plate 144 has an elongated shape and includes two holes 144a near its two ends. The two end posts 150 are made of metal. In the manufacturing process, the two metal end posts 150 are first riveted into the two holes 144a of the metal reinforcing core plate 144, as shown. Figure 4B As shown. The riveted metal reinforcing core plate 144 and two metal end posts 150 are then placed into a mold and an elastomeric material is injected for overmolding. In one or more embodiments, the elastomeric material overmolded on the metal reinforcing core plate 144 and the two metal end posts 150 can be silicone resin. Such a handle body 142 provides high strength through the metal reinforcing core plate 144 therein, and a good grip through the elastomeric material overmolded thereon.

[0049] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the metal reinforcing core plate 144 is a stamped metal sheet. In another one or more embodiments of the present invention, the metal reinforcing core plate 144 is a manganese steel sheet, such as 65 manganese steel sheet. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the metal reinforcing core plate 144 is formed of a shape memory alloy material or a metal having shape memory alloy properties. Thus, the handle body 142 of the handle assembly 140 can return to its natural state after use, and most of it is hidden or stored in the receiving groove 114.

[0050] Figure 5 A partially enlarged cross-sectional view of an electronic device 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention is shown. As shown, a receiving groove 114 on the first side housing or top housing 112 of the electronic device body 110 has protrusions 116 extending into the receiving groove 114 at both ends. In the natural position of the handle assembly 140, the protrusions 116 abut against or interfere with the elastomeric material 146a coated on the metal end post 150. This prevents the handle assembly 140 from making abnormal noises when the electronic device 100 vibrates (e.g., vibrations generated by the speaker operation in the case that the electronic device is a speaker device). In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the metal reinforcing core plate 144 in the handle body 142 is formed of a shape memory alloy material or a metal having shape memory alloy properties. Therefore, after each use, the handle assembly 140's handle body 142 can return to its natural state, that is, the position where its elastomer material 146a is abutted or interfered with by the protrusion 116. This ensures that the handle assembly 140 will not make abnormal noise when the electronic device 100 vibrates after each transport. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the protrusion 116 can be formed in other locations, as long as it can abut or interfere with the elastomer material overlaid on the metal reinforcing core plate 144 or metal end post 150 in the natural position of the handle assembly 140, thereby avoiding abnormal noise. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the protrusion 116 can be omitted.

[0051] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the handle body 142 of the handle assembly 140 is designed to be a straight or slightly curved component. The distance between the protrusions 116 on the first side housing or top side housing 112 of the electronic device housing 100 may be slightly smaller than the distance between the corresponding elastomeric materials on the handle assembly 140 against which they abut. Therefore, when the handle assembly 140 is mounted on the electronic device housing 110, under the pressure of the protrusions 116, the handle body 142 of the handle assembly 140 and the metal reinforcing core plate 144 therein undergo a certain degree of initial deformation. This initial deformation generates an elastic force, which ensures that the elastomeric material of the handle assembly 140 does not interfere with the protrusions 116, thereby avoiding abnormal noise. In addition, this initial deformation also causes at least a portion of the central part of the handle body 142 to protrude from the receiving groove 114, facilitating the user to lift the handle assembly 140 by hand.

[0052] Figure 6A This is a perspective view of an assembly of the handle body 142 and the end post 150 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention. Figure 6B yes Figure 6A A cross-sectional view of the assembly. The handle body 142 is designed to be ergonomic, thus providing a good grip. The bottom of the handle body 142 is also provided with anti-slip textures or anti-slip protrusions 148 to prevent the user from slipping during use and improve the user experience.

[0053] In the embodiment shown, the handle assembly 140 includes two sliding connection structures (including end posts 150, washers 160, springs 170, and screws 180) at its two ends, which slidably engage in corresponding two grooves in the electronic device housing. In one or more other embodiments according to the present invention, the handle assembly 140 may include only one sliding connection structure at one end, which engages in a corresponding groove in the electronic device housing. In this case, the other end of the handle assembly 140 may be connected to the electronic device housing in other suitable ways, such as being fixedly connected to the electronic device housing.

[0054] In the embodiment shown in the figure, the handle body 142 includes a metal reinforcing core plate 144 and a metal end post 150, as well as an elastomeric material overlaid on the metal reinforcing core plate 144 and the metal end post 150. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the handle body may employ other suitable structures, as long as they provide sufficient strength and a comfortable feel. In another one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the connection method between the metal end post 150 and the metal reinforcing core plate 144 may not be limited to riveting, but may include welding or bonding, etc.
