Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of speaker technology, and more specifically, to a speaker mounting structure, a speaker, and a notebook computer. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of laptop speaker assembly, screw fastening, as a traditional fixing method, is widely used due to its structural reliability and technological maturity. However, as electronic devices become more efficient and lightweight, the industry is actively exploring more advanced assembly methods, such as magnetic closures and snap-fit ​​devices, to adapt to the trends of improved production efficiency and optimized user experience.

[0003] However, traditional screw tightening methods have significant problems in practical applications. In terms of production efficiency, precise alignment of the screw holes is required, and the screw-tightening process is time-consuming. Regarding yield control, there is a risk of stripped screw threads, and uneven tightening force may lead to differences in speaker performance and potentially cause cracking or deformation of plastic parts. The repair process is also difficult; disassembly requires specialized tools, and repeated disassembly and reassembly can easily cause wear on the screw holes, extending repair time and increasing after-sales costs.

[0004] There is currently no effective technical solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] The speaker mounting structure includes a retaining edge inside the convex ring, a retaining head at the bottom end of the retaining head that is snapped together with the retaining edge, and the retaining head having multiple circumferentially arrayed expansion joints.

[0015] In the speaker mounting structure described above, the clip is a hollow structure.

[0016] The speaker mounting structure includes a buckle body comprising an iron sheet and a magnet. The iron sheet is embedded in the sleeve, and the magnet serves as the buckle head and is fixed within the protruding ring.

[0036] Firstly, please refer to Figures 1-5 Some embodiments of this application provide a speaker mounting structure, including:

[0037] Base 1, base 1 has a protruding ring 11;

[0038] Speaker 2, the side of speaker 2 has a locking lug 21, and a protruding ring 11 is inserted into the locking lug 21;

[0039] The buckle 3 has an annular insertion part 3a and a buckle head 3b;

[0040] The buckle 3 is engaged between the lock lug 21 and the protruding ring 11 via the annular insertion part 3a, and is engaged inside the protruding ring 11 via the buckle head 3b, so as to fix the speaker 2 on the base 1.

[0041] Specifically, the base 1 is the mounting base for the speaker 2, and the protruding ring 11 is an annular protrusion on the base 1, used to cooperate with the locking lug 21 for initial positioning. The speaker 2 is the component to be installed, and its side is provided with the locking lug 21, which is a protruding structure on the side of the speaker 2, having space to accommodate the protruding ring 11. The latch 3 is a connector for fixing the speaker 2 and the base 1, which has an annular insertion part 3a and a latch head 3b. The annular insertion part 3a is annular and is used to engage between the locking lug 21 and the protruding ring 11, providing radial and axial constraints; the latch head 3b is used to engage inside the protruding ring 11 to form a lock.

[0042] Specifically, the working principle of this application is as follows: the speaker 2 is inserted into the convex ring 11 on the base 1 through the locking lug 21 on its side, so that the convex ring 11 enters the locking lug 21, completing the initial positioning of the speaker 2 on the base 1. Then, the buckle 3 is installed on the convex ring 11 and the locking lug 21. The process includes: simultaneously pushing or locking the annular insertion part 3a of the buckle 3 into the annular space between the locking lug 21 and the convex ring 11, and pushing or locking the buckle head 3b of the buckle 3 into the internal space of the convex ring 11. The annular insertion part 3a generates a pressing force or supporting force on the locking lug 21 and the convex ring 11 to prevent the speaker 2 from undergoing radial or axial displacement relative to the base 1. The buckle head 3b forms a locking structure inside the convex ring 11, for example, by means of expansion, barbs, etc., cooperating with the inner wall or internal structure of the convex ring 11 to prevent the buckle 3 from coming out of the convex ring 11. This installation process utilizes the elastic deformation or structural cooperation of the buckle 3 to achieve locking.

[0043] This application eliminates the need for screw tightening by employing a snap-fit ​​fixing method 3, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the speaker 2 on the base 1. The snap-fit ​​fixing method 3 reduces the requirements for operational precision, lowers the risk of screw stripping and plastic part cracking, and improves assembly yield. The snap-fit ​​structure 3 facilitates disassembly without tools, simplifying the maintenance process and reducing maintenance costs. The snap-fit ​​fixing structure 3 is concealed or flush, improving the product's appearance and reducing the likelihood of loosening and causing abnormal noise, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0044] The speaker mounting structure of this application positions the speaker 2 by inserting the protruding ring 11 on the base 1 into the locking lug 21 on the side of the speaker 2, and introduces a buckle 3 with an annular insertion part 3a and a buckle head 3b. By using the annular insertion part 3a to engage between the locking lug 21 and the protruding ring 11, and the buckle head 3b to engage inside the protruding ring 11, the speaker 2 can be quickly and tool-free fixed. This solves the problems of low efficiency, poor yield and difficult maintenance of traditional screw tightening, and achieves the effects of improving assembly efficiency, reducing production costs, improving product structure stability and user experience.

[0045] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, buckle 3 is integrally formed.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the buckle 3 can be manufactured using processes such as injection molding, die casting, or 3D printing.

[0047] The one-piece snap fastener 3 avoids the weak connection points that may be caused by the assembly of multiple parts. It works together with the protruding ring 11 of the base 1 and the locking lug 21 of the speaker 2 to form a stable installation structure, effectively overcoming the reliability problems that may exist in the multi-part snap fastener 3.

[0048] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figures 3-5As shown, the buckle 3 is not integrally formed, and includes a sleeve 31 and a buckle body 32. The annular insertion part 3a is located on the sleeve 31, the buckle head 3b is located on the buckle body 32, and one end of the buckle body 32 is fixed inside the sleeve 31.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sleeve 31 refers to the main body of the buckle 3 that forms the annular insertion portion 3a, and the buckle body 32 refers to the main body of the buckle 3 that forms the buckle head 3b.

[0050] Specifically, this solution optimizes the design of different functional areas of the buckle 3 by decomposing the buckle 3 into two independent parts: a sleeve 31 and a buckle body 32, and setting the annular insertion part 3a and the buckle head 3b on these two parts respectively. Since one end of the buckle body 32 is fixed inside the sleeve 31, the sleeve 31 and the buckle body 32 work together as a whole, reliably fixing the speaker 2 to the base 1 through the combined action of the annular insertion part 3a and the buckle head 3b. This split design allows the sleeve 31 to focus on optimizing its fit and insertion performance with the locking lug 21 and the protruding ring 11, while the buckle body 32 can focus on optimizing its snap-fit ​​or fixing performance inside the protruding ring 11, for example, by selecting different materials, adjusting the structural shape, or using different manufacturing processes. This design flexibility helps overcome the limitations of a one-piece molded structure in simultaneously meeting different functional requirements, thereby improving the overall fixing effect and assembly efficiency.

[0051] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the convex ring 11 has a buckle 321 inside, and the bottom end of the buckle head 3b has a buckle head that is connected to the buckle 321 buckle 3. The buckle head 3b has multiple circumferentially arrayed expansion seams 322.

[0052] Specifically, the inner edge 321 of the protruding ring 11 refers to the annular or segmented protruding or recessed structure on the inner wall of the protruding ring 11 on the base 1, which is used to engage with the snap head on the snap head 3b. The snap head at the bottom of the snap head 3b, which is connected to the snap edge 321, refers to the structure on the bottom edge or inner side of the snap head 3b, which is used to hook or snap into the inner edge 321 of the protruding ring 11, thereby forming an axial lock. This can be achieved by using a barbed protrusion, a radially expanding flange, or an elastic claw. The multiple circumferentially arrayed expansion slots 322 refer to the slits or cuts that are evenly or non-uniformly spaced in the circumferential direction of the snap head 3b. These slots allow the snap head 3b to undergo radial contraction or expansion deformation when subjected to force. This can be achieved by using straight slots, curved slots, or V-grooves extending axially.

[0053] More specifically, the multiple circumferentially arrayed expansion slots 322 on the buckle head 3b enable the buckle head 3b to elastically deform. When the snap head passes through the snap edge 321, the buckle head 3b radially contracts. Once the snap head has passed the snap edge 321, the buckle head 3b elastically recovers, and the snap head engages below the snap edge 321, forming an axial locking connection. This snap-fit ​​connection fixes the buckle body 32 within the convex ring 11. Through the insertion of the sleeve 31 between the locking lug 21 and the convex ring 11, and the snap-fit ​​of the buckle body 32 within the convex ring 11, the speaker 2 is securely fixed to the base 1. The design of the expansion slots 322 also allows for easy disassembly when disassembly is required. By applying radial pressure to the buckle head 3b to cause it to contract, the snap-fit ​​between the snap head and the snap edge 321 can be released. This solution combines the flexibility of the non-one-piece molded buckle 3 with the optimized structure of the buckle body 32, improving the reliability and ease of operation of the overall installation structure.

[0054] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment where the buckle 3 is not integrally formed, the buckle body 32 includes an integrally formed fixing part and a buckle head 3b, and the fixing part buckle 3 is inside the sleeve 31.

[0055] Specifically, the fixing part buckle 3 inside the sleeve 31 means that the fixing part of the buckle body 32 is locked to the internal structure of the sleeve 31 through elastic deformation or interference fit, etc. It can be achieved by using a barb, a protrusion and groove fit, or an elastic arm structure; in this embodiment, the sleeve 31 is preferably made of soft plastic material, and the buckle body 32 is preferably made of hard plastic material.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments, the snap fastener 3 has a hollow structure.

[0057] Specifically, the hollow structure not only optimizes material usage but also provides additional deformation space, enhancing the overall elasticity of the buckle head 3b and making the installation and removal of the buckle 3 smoother. Simultaneously, this enhanced elastic deformation capability helps the buckle head and the inner buckle edge 321 of the convex ring 11 achieve a tighter fit, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the buckle 3 connection.

[0058] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the buckle body 32 includes an iron sheet 323 and a magnet 324. The iron sheet 323 is embedded in the sleeve 31, and the magnet 324 is used as the buckle head 3b and is fixed in the protruding ring 11. The iron sheet 323 and the magnet 324 are magnetically attracted and fixed.

[0059] Specifically, the magnet 324 can be fixed inside the convex ring 11 by means of bonding, interference fit, mechanical clamping, etc.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the sleeve 31 is pushed into place, the iron piece 323 inside the sleeve 31 and the magnet 324 inside the convex ring 11 approach each other, and the magnetic attraction between them firmly attracts the sleeve 31 (and the iron piece 323 thereon) to the convex ring 11 (and the magnet 324 therein). Since the magnet 324 is used as the buckle head 3b in this solution, this magnetic attraction actually fixes the buckle head 3b to the convex ring 11, thereby firmly connecting the entire non-integral molded buckle 3 structure to the base 1, and thus achieving reliable installation of the speaker 2. This magnetic attraction method avoids the precise alignment and large insertion and extraction force required by traditional mechanical buckles 3, making the assembly process smoother and more convenient. At the same time, the magnetic connection is also easy to separate, facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance. By combining the non-integral molded buckle 3 structure with magnetic attraction technology, this solution effectively solves the problems of inconvenient and inefficient fixing between the buckle body 32 and the convex ring 11 of the base 1 while maintaining the structural flexibility brought by non-integral molding.

[0061] In some preferred embodiments, there are multiple protruding rings 11 and locking lugs 21, and they are paired one by one.

[0062] Specifically, through the above design, this application increases the number of connection points between the speaker 2 and the base 1, enhances the positioning accuracy and installation stability of the speaker 2 on the base 1, restricts the rotation and lateral movement of the speaker 2, overcomes the problems of unstable positioning and insufficient anti-rotation capability that may be caused by the connection points, and improves the firmness and reliability of the speaker 2 installation.

[0063] In some preferred embodiments, the lock lug 21 has an opening 211 located away from the speaker 2 for easy installation and removal.

[0064] Specifically, opening 211 refers to a through or recessed notch or groove formed in the lock lug 21 structure.

[0065] More specifically, this solution facilitates the insertion and separation of the convex ring 11 and the lock lug 21 by providing an opening 211 on the lock lug 21. The presence of the opening 211 allows the convex ring 11 to enter or leave the mating area of ​​the lock lug 21 in a more flexible manner, thereby simplifying the alignment and insertion steps during assembly and making it easier to remove the lock lug 21 from the convex ring 11 during disassembly.

[0066] In some preferred embodiments, the outer side of the annular insertion portion 3a has an annular groove 311 that mates with the locking lug 21.

[0067] Specifically, during the installation process, the clip 3 can be initially fixed to the locking lug 21 of the speaker 2 through the annular groove 311, and then the clip 3 together with the speaker 2 can be installed on the base 1.

[0068] More specifically, the annular groove 311 provides a clear positioning point and constraint between the annular connector 3a and the locking lug 21. The locking lug 21 is guided and accommodated by the annular groove 311, restricting the relative movement of the annular connector 3a in the radial and axial directions. This enhances the connection stability between the annular connector 3a and the locking lug 21 during the process of the clip 3 fixing the speaker 2 to the base 1. It can guide the installation position of the annular connector 3a and form a tight fit after installation, effectively reducing the gap and relative movement between components, thereby enhancing the fixed stability of the speaker 2 on the base 1 and reducing the risk of abnormal noise or performance degradation caused by loosening.

[0069] Secondly, some embodiments of this application also provide a loudspeaker, which is mounted based on the loudspeaker mounting structure provided in the first aspect.

[0070] The speaker of this application has the advantages of high assembly efficiency, reduced reliance on and investment in automated equipment, improved product assembly yield, and reduced risk of component damage.

[0071] Thirdly, some embodiments of this application also provide a laptop computer, which includes a motherboard and mounts speakers based on the speaker mounting structure provided in the first aspect.

[0072] The laptop computer described in this application has the advantage of easy speaker installation, which can improve the product assembly yield and reduce the risk of component damage.
