Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vehicle decorative component, and more particularly to an outer casing assembly for a car audio system. Background Technology

[0002] Audio systems (speakers, enclosures) are an essential component of modern car entertainment systems, and their appearance is also a significant part of the car's interior design. For example, speaker enclosures not only transmit sound but also play a crucial role in the car's aesthetics.

[0003] In existing technology, the speaker enclosure is mounted on a cover plate base, which in turn is installed in the corresponding position of the speaker. The front of the cover plate base faces the interior of the vehicle and therefore has a decorative surface, which is quite valuable in high-end cars. However, the current method of mounting the speaker enclosure to the cover plate base is generally a concealed installation around the perimeter, such as using clips for engagement. These clips are prone to damaging the decorative surface of the cover plate base during assembly, thus affecting the aesthetics of the vehicle interior and requiring repair costs. Furthermore, the clip-on structure negatively impacts installation stability, and poorly finished seams affect the appearance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing speaker enclosure installation structure to prevent damage to the exterior decorative surface caused by components such as clips during installation, and to provide better installation stability and better treatment of seams to ensure appearance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an outer casing assembly for a car audio system, which can eliminate the problem of damage to the outer decorative surface caused by components such as clips in the prior art during installation, and has good installation stability and better treatment of seams to ensure appearance.

[0006] The present invention relates to a car audio enclosure assembly, comprising an audio enclosure, an enclosure bracket, and a base cover. The audio enclosure is mounted on the base cover via the enclosure bracket, and the base cover is installed at the position corresponding to the audio system in the car.

[0007] Furthermore, the speaker enclosure is detachably mounted on the enclosure bracket and located on the front of the enclosure bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the base cover plate has an outer cover exposure hole, and the outer cover bracket is installed on the base cover plate from the back of the base cover plate, so that the speaker cover faces the outer cover exposure hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer cover support is provided with a columnar sound channel for sound transmission.

[0010] Furthermore, the edge of the speaker enclosure is bent backward to form a mounting flange, and a protruding mounting position is formed on the cover bracket at the position corresponding to the exposed hole of the cover. The speaker enclosure is covered by the mounting flange at the mounting position.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting flange is provided with several snap-fit ​​claws, and the base of the outer cover mounting position is provided with several snap-fit ​​through holes. The snap-fit ​​claws pass through the snap-fit ​​through holes and form a snap-fit, so that the speaker cover is fixed to the outer cover bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the shape of the exposed hole of the outer cover is adapted to the shape of the speaker cover, and after the outer cover bracket is installed on the base cover plate, the hole wall of the exposed hole of the outer cover is tightly abutted against the mounting flange of the speaker cover.

[0013] Furthermore, the back side of the base cover plate has several functional mounting seats distributed around the exposed opening of the outer cover, and the outer cover bracket is detachably mounted on the functional mounting seats.

[0014] Furthermore, light-blocking cotton is provided between the speaker enclosure and the enclosure support.

[0015] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​claw includes a snap-fit ​​claw seat extending along the mounting flange and a snap-fit ​​portion bent relative to the snap-fit ​​claw seat, the snap-fit ​​claw seat passing through the snap-fit ​​through hole so that the snap-fit ​​portion snaps into the edge of the snap-fit ​​through hole.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The car audio enclosure assembly of this utility model has an enclosure that is mounted on a base cover plate via an enclosure bracket. This avoids the method of directly snapping the enclosure onto the base cover plate, thus eliminating the problem of damage to the exterior decorative surface caused by components such as clips in the prior art during installation. At the same time, the structure of mounting the enclosure on the enclosure bracket instead of directly snapping it onto the base cover plate has more operability, resulting in better installation stability and better handling of seams to ensure appearance.

[0021] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Enlarged view of point A. Detailed Implementation

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown: The vehicle audio enclosure assembly of this embodiment includes an audio enclosure 2, an enclosure bracket 4, and a base cover 1. The audio enclosure 2 is mounted on the base cover 1 via the enclosure bracket 4. The base cover 1 is installed in the vehicle at the position corresponding to the audio system. The base cover 1 is a conventional component of the vehicle, installed inside the vehicle and opposite the audio system, and has holes for mounting the audio enclosure 2. The structure of the enclosure bracket 4 is such that it can be mounted on the base cover 1 and the audio enclosure 2 can be installed, ensuring that the audio enclosure 2 is exposed in the holes. In this structure, the audio enclosure 2 is pre-mounted on the enclosure bracket 4 (using an existing mechanical connection mounting structure), and the enclosure bracket 4 is then mounted on the base cover 1 (using an existing mechanical connection mounting structure), so that the audio enclosure 2 does not directly contact the base cover 1. Therefore, the audio enclosure 2, which is generally made of metal, will not damage the decorative surface of the base cover 1 during installation. At the same time, the materials of the enclosure bracket 4 and the base cover 1 are generally the same plastic, or at least have similar physical properties, so no damage due to differences in hardness will occur during assembly.

[0023] In this embodiment, the speaker cover 2 is detachably installed on the cover bracket 4 and located on the front of the cover bracket 4. There are various ways to detach it, such as snap-fit, bolt connection, expansion joint, etc. The front refers to the side facing the interior of the vehicle and the same as the decorative surface. The speaker cover 2 being located on the front of the cover bracket 4 allows the cover bracket 4 to have various installation possibilities on the base cover plate 1. For example, it can be directly fitted onto the base cover plate 1 from the front, or it can be installed from the back side, exposing the speaker cover to the through hole opened on the base cover plate. Both can achieve the purpose of the utility model.

[0024] In this embodiment, the base cover plate 1 has an outer cover exposure hole 101, and the outer cover bracket 4 is installed on the base cover plate 1 from the back of the base cover plate 1, so that the speaker cover 2 faces the outer cover exposure hole 101; Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer cover bracket 4 is installed on the back of the base cover plate 1, and the speaker cover 2 is exposed from the outer cover exposure hole 101. From the front, the outer cover bracket 4 is completely hidden, and the appearance problems caused by the difficulty in handling the seam when the speaker cover 2 is directly installed on the base cover plate 1 are avoided.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outer cover support 4 is provided with a columnar sound channel 402 for sound transmission. The columnar sound channel 402, being integrally formed, ensures that sound is guided from the speaker enclosure 2 while increasing the strength of the outer cover support 4 and simplifying the support of the base cover 1. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the columnar sound channel 402 can be a regular columnar structure (cross-section) or an irregular columnar structure, which will not be elaborated here.

[0026] In this embodiment, the edge of the speaker enclosure 2 is bent in the opposite direction to form a mounting flange 201, and a protruding cover mounting position 401 is formed on the cover bracket 4 at a position corresponding to the cover exposure hole 101. The speaker enclosure 2 is covered by the cover mounting position 101 by the mounting flange 201; Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting flange 201 makes the speaker enclosure 2 form a recessed disc shape, which covers the front-protruding (protruding towards the front relative to the body of the enclosure bracket 4) enclosure mounting position. After the speaker enclosure 2 is exposed through the enclosure exposure hole 101, the enclosure bracket 4 is completely hidden, ensuring the appearance and increasing the installation stability of the speaker enclosure 2. In this structure, the columnar sound channel 402 passes through the enclosure mounting position 401, ensuring smooth sound transmission.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting flange 201 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​claws 2011, and the base of the outer cover mounting position 401 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​through holes 403. The base refers to the connection part between the outer cover mounting position 401 and the body of the outer cover bracket 4. After the speaker cover 2 covers the outer cover mounting position 401, the edge of the mounting flange 201 is directly opposite the base of the outer cover mounting position 401. The snap-fit ​​claws 2011 are distributed on the edge of the mounting flange 201, so that the snap-fit ​​claws 2011 and the snap-fit ​​through holes 403 can cooperate. The snap-fit ​​claws 2011 pass through the snap-fit ​​through holes 403 and form a snap-fit, so that the speaker cover 2 can be detachably fixed to the outer cover bracket 4. The snap-fit ​​claws 2011 can be various structures that can achieve snap-fit, such as inverted snap-fit ​​claws, snap-fit ​​structures that bend after insertion, elastic deformation snap-fit ​​claw structures, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0028] In this embodiment, the shape of the outer cover exposure hole 101 is adapted to the shape of the speaker cover 2, and after the outer cover bracket 4 is installed on the base cover plate 1, the hole wall of the outer cover exposure hole 101 is tightly abutted against the mounting flange 201 of the speaker cover 2, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one side of the mounting flange 201 is tightly wrapped around the outer cover mounting position 401, and the other side is pressed against the hole wall of the outer cover exposed hole 101, forming a tight mounting structure. This not only ensures the stability of the installation, but also effectively handles the seams and ensures the aesthetic appearance.

[0029] In this embodiment, the back side of the base cover 1 has several functional mounting seats distributed around the outer cover exposure hole 101, and the outer cover bracket 4 is detachably mounted on the functional mounting seats; such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a functional mounting base refers to a mounting base that may have other functions, such as positioning. In this embodiment, the functional mounting base includes a positioning mounting base 102 and a dedicated mounting base 103. The outer cover bracket 4 has functional holes, including a positioning hole 406 and a mounting hole 404. In this structure, the positioning mounting base 102 passes through the positioning hole 406 to form a positioning, ensuring the accuracy of installation. The mounting hole 404 is generally a strip-shaped hole and corresponds to the dedicated mounting base 103, and is installed by tightening screws. Of course, the positioning hole 406 can also be installed on the positioning mounting base 102 by tightening screws, forming a structure that both positions and installs, ensuring installation stability. In this embodiment, before positioning, the outer cover bracket also forms a snap-fit ​​pre-installation with the base cover plate 1, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer cover bracket 4 is provided with a pre-installation slot 405, and the base cover plate 1 is provided with an inverted clip 104. Before installing the bracket, the outer cover bracket 4 is clipped into the inverted clip 104 through the pre-installation slot 405 to facilitate positioning and installation, and to maintain installation stability.

[0030] In this embodiment, a light-blocking cotton 3 is spaced between the speaker enclosure 2 and the enclosure support 4, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the light-blocking cotton 3 is bonded and fixed to the speaker housing 2 by adhesive dots distributed around its perimeter. The speaker housing is then installed with the housing bracket 4. The adhesive dots are located at the edge and are not visible. This additional light-blocking cotton prevents the temperature from rising due to direct sunlight; it helps protect the speaker and surrounding components, preventing accelerated aging or damage due to high temperatures. Simultaneously, it provides some sound absorption, reducing sound wave reflections behind the speaker, thereby improving sound quality and overall texture.

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking claw 2011 includes a locking claw seat 2011a extending along the mounting flange 201 and a locking portion 2011b bent relative to the locking claw seat 2011a. The locking claw seat 2011a passes through the locking through hole 403, causing the locking portion 2011b to engage with the edge of the locking through hole 403; as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 2011b can be formed by bending after the snap-fit ​​claw seat 2011a carries the snap-fit ​​part 2011b through the snap-fit ​​through hole 403, or the snap-fit ​​part 2011b can be formed by bending it in advance, using elasticity to force it through the snap-fit ​​through hole 403 and forming a snap-fit ​​directly after passing through. Both methods can achieve the purpose of the utility model. The overall structure is simple and compact, and the installation is stable.
