[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0043] Some entertainment devices, such as speakers and lights, generate heat when their internal light source components are operating, which can affect their lifespan. Although related technologies use fans for heat dissipation, this method produces noise and vibration, which not only affects the user experience and lifespan of the device, but also the fan noise can significantly interfere with the sound playback of the speakers and lights, severely impacting the user experience.

[0044] Therefore, this application provides an entertainment device 500.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the entertainment device 500 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 An exploded view of the entertainment device 500 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of an entertainment device 500 provided for an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the entertainment device 500 includes a housing assembly 100 and a light source assembly 200 disposed inside the housing assembly 100.

[0046] The light source assembly 200 can be used to provide illumination light or ambient light.

[0047] In some embodiments, the light source assembly 200 includes a base 220 and a light-emitting component 210 disposed on the base 220. It can be understood that the base 220 provides a mounting foundation for the light source assembly 200.

[0048] In some embodiments, the entertainment device 500 may also include an audio player.

[0049] In one example, entertainment device 500 is a sound system.

[0050] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 100 includes a first housing 10 for accommodating the light source assembly 200, the first housing 10 having a support portion for supporting the light source assembly 200, the support portion being configured to be thermally coupled to the base 220.

[0051] It is understandable that the housing assembly 100 can both support the light source assembly 200 and exchange heat with the light source assembly 200.

[0052] It is understood that both the support portion and the base 220 have high thermal conductivity to facilitate heat transfer. In some embodiments, the support portion and the base 220 are made of a metallic material with high thermal conductivity.

[0053] In this embodiment, the heat generated by the light-emitting component 210 can be quickly conducted to the supporting part and exchanged with the external environment through the large-area first outer shell 10. The first outer shell 10 transfers heat with the surrounding air through thermal convection. Compared with fan cooling, this cooling process does not generate noise or vibration, which is beneficial to improving the user experience and service life of the entertainment device 500, and is especially suitable for devices such as speakers and lights that have high requirements for noise control.

[0054] In some embodiments, the base 220 is in contact with the support surface. This arrangement can improve the heat exchange efficiency between the base 220 and the support, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 connected together. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a first receiving cavity 13 for receiving the light source assembly 200. The second housing 12 includes a side wall 121 and a mounting plate 122. The side wall 121 is connected to the first housing 11 and is disposed around the mounting plate 122, which is a support portion.

[0056] Mounting plate 122 facilitates the installation of light source assembly 200 and conducts heat generated by light-emitting component 210 to the outside. Specifically, heat generated by light-emitting component 210 is transferred to mounting plate 122 via base 220, and then transferred to side wall 121 via mounting plate 122. Side wall 121 dissipates heat through thermal convection with air.

[0057] For example, the second housing 12 is disposed at one end of the first housing 11 in the axial direction. The first housing 11 has a top wall, and the mounting plate 122 is disposed opposite to the top wall. The light source assembly 200 is located between the top wall and the mounting plate 122.

[0058] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the second housing 12, the sidewall 121 has a first end 1213 and a second end 1214 opposite to each other, and the sidewall 121 also has a neck 1215 located between the first end 1213 and the second end 1214, the cross-sectional area of ​​the neck 1215 being smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first end 1213 and the second end 1214.

[0059] It should be noted that the sidewall 121 is a hollow structure with an inner diameter and an outer diameter in its cross-section. The cross-sectional area mentioned in this embodiment refers to the area between the inner and outer diameters of the sidewall cross-section. The cross-section can be circular, rectangular, or other shapes.

[0060] For example, the end of the sidewall 121 closest to the first housing 11 is the first end 1213, and the end furthest from the first housing 11 is the second end 1214.

[0061] It can be understood that the neck 1215 is the location where the cross-sectional area of ​​the sidewall 121 is relatively small. In one example, the neck 1215 is the location where the cross-sectional area of ​​the sidewall 121 is the smallest.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, by setting the neck 1215, the outer surface area of ​​the side wall 121 can be increased, the convection area between the side wall 121 and the air can be enhanced, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the sidewall 121 gradually increases from the neck 1215 to the first end 1213, which may be a linear or exponential increase. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the sidewall 121 gradually increases from the neck 1215 to the second end 1214, which may be a linear or exponential increase. This configuration can significantly increase the outer surface area of ​​the sidewall 121, enhance the convection area between the sidewall 121 and the air, and thus improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments, the sidewall 121 includes a first portion 1211 and a second portion 1212 connected together. The first portion 1211 and the second portion 1212 are arranged along the axial direction of the second housing 12. The first portion 1211 is connected to the first housing 11. The second portion 1212 is located at the end of the first portion 1211 away from the first housing 11. The connection between the first portion 1211 and the second portion 1212 defines a neck 1215. Along the direction away from the neck 1215, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first portion 1211 gradually increases, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second portion 1212 gradually increases.

[0065] In some embodiments, the outer surfaces of the first portion 1211 and the second portion 1212 are both tapered surfaces. This configuration reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the sidewall 121.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first portion 1211 and the second portion 1212 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the mounting plate 122. This arrangement helps to position the center of gravity of the second housing 12 at its geometric center, reducing the additional torque caused by the shift in the center of gravity and improving the structural stability of the housing assembly.

[0067] In some embodiments, the ratio of the outer diameter of the first end 1213 to the outer diameter of the neck 1215 ranges from 1.5 to 3. This configuration allows the sidewall 121 to have high structural strength and facilitates heat dissipation.

[0068] For example, the ratio of the outer diameter of the first end 1213 to the outer diameter of the neck 1215 can be 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.9, 3 and any value between these.

[0069] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the first end 1213 is between 70 mm and 90 mm.

[0070] For example, the outer diameter of the first end 1213 is 70mm, 75mm, 77mm, 80mm, 83mm, 86mm, 89mm, 90mm and any value between these.

[0071] In some embodiments, the ratio of the outer diameter of the second end 1214 to the outer diameter of the neck 1215 ranges from 1.5 to 3. This configuration allows the sidewall 121 to have higher structural strength and facilitates heat dissipation.

[0072] For example, the ratio of the outer diameter of the second end 1214 to the outer diameter of the neck 1215 can be 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.9, 3 and any value between these.

[0073] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the second end 1214 ranges from 70 mm to 90 mm.

[0074] For example, the outer diameter of the second end 1214 is 70mm, 75mm, 77mm, 80mm, 83mm, 86mm, 89mm, 90mm and any value between these.

[0075] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the neck 1215 ranges from 35 mm to 45 mm. This configuration provides the sidewall 121 with high structural strength and facilitates heat dissipation.

[0076] For example, the outer diameter of the neck 1215 can be 35mm, 37mm, 39mm, 40mm, 43mm, 45mm and any value in between.

[0077] In some embodiments, the neck 1215 surrounds the mounting plate 122. The neck 1215 has relatively low positional strength, and the mounting plate 122 positioned at the neck 1215 can support it, preventing deformation and thus improving the structural strength of the second housing 12. Simultaneously, the neck 1215 is radially closer to the light source assembly 200, which shortens the heat transfer path and improves heat dissipation efficiency.

[0078] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing assembly 100 further includes a second housing 20 disposed on the side of the second housing 12 away from the first housing 11 and connected to the second housing 12, and the second housing 20 and the second housing 12 define a second receiving cavity 21.

[0079] The second housing 20 can be used to house other components, such as batteries or audio players.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first housing 11 has a first opening at one axial end, the second housing 20 has a second opening at one axial end, and the second housing 12 has openings at its two axially opposite ends, namely a third opening and a fourth opening, respectively. The second housing 12 is located between the first housing 11 and the second housing 20. The second housing 12 covers the first opening and defines a first receiving cavity 13 with the first housing 11. The second housing 12 covers the second opening and defines a second receiving cavity 21 with the second housing 20. A mounting plate 122 is located between the first receiving cavity 13 and the second receiving cavity 21.

[0081] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 122 is provided with a connecting portion 1231, through which the second receiving cavity 21 and the first receiving cavity 13 are connected.

[0082] The connecting portion 1231 can be a notch on the edge of the mounting plate 122 or a through hole in the middle of the mounting plate 122. In one example, the connecting portion 1231 is a through hole, which can be circular, square, irregular, or other shapes.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first receiving cavity 13 and the second receiving cavity 21 are connected, which can improve heat dissipation efficiency and facilitate the connection of components in the second receiving cavity 21 with components in the first receiving cavity 13. For example, the battery or wiring harness in the second receiving cavity 21 is connected to the light source assembly 200.

[0084] In some embodiments, a mounting groove 123 is provided at one end of the second housing 12 near the second outer housing 20.

[0085] The shape of the mounting slot 123 can be set as needed, such as a rectangular slot, a circular slot, etc.

[0086] The mounting slot 123 can limit the position of components installed inside the second housing 20, thereby improving the structural stability of the entertainment device 500, or provide a mounting base for components inside the second housing 20, reducing assembly difficulty.

[0087] In some embodiments, along the radial direction of the second housing 12, the edge of the second housing 12 extends beyond the outer surface of the second outer casing 20 to form a skirt or flange.

[0088] It is understood that the edge of the second end 1214 of the second housing 12 extends radially out of the outer surface of the second outer shell 20.

[0089] The outer surface of the second housing 20 may be fitted with decorative or functional components, such as dustproof nets. The portion of the edge of the second housing 12 that extends beyond the outer surface of the second housing 20 can serve as an axial stop to limit these decorative or functional components, restricting them from approaching the first housing 11 axially and reducing the risk of displacement during use.

[0090] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the light source assembly 200 includes a base 220 and a light-emitting component 210 disposed on the base 220. The base 220 includes a connected mounting base plate 221 and a mounting post 222. The light-emitting component 210 is sleeved on the mounting post 222. The base 220 is thermally coupled to the support portion.

[0091] This configuration increases the contact area between the base 220 and the light-emitting component 210 by installing the column 222, thereby improving their heat exchange efficiency.

[0092] In some embodiments, the mounting post 222 and the base 220 are integrally formed.

[0093] In some embodiments, the radial dimension of the mounting base 221 is configured to be larger than the radial dimension of the light-emitting component 210. Enlarging the size of the mounting base 221 increases the support area, preventing the center of gravity of the light source assembly 200 from shifting. It also helps increase the contact area between the mounting base 221 and the mounting plate 122, improving their heat exchange efficiency and thus enhancing overall heat exchange efficiency.

[0094] In some embodiments, the radial dimension of the mounting plate 122 is the same as the radial dimension of the mounting base plate 221.

[0095] In some embodiments, the difference between the radial dimension of the mounting base 221 and the radial dimension of the light-emitting component 210 is between 8 mm and 10 mm.

[0096] For example, the size difference can be 8mm, 8.5mm, 8.9mm, 9.3mm, 9.7mm, 9.9mm, 10mm and any value in between.

[0097] In some embodiments, the light source assembly 200 further includes a light diffuser 230, which is connected to the base 220 and covers the light-emitting component 210.

[0098] The light diffuser 230 can convert the point light source of the light-emitting component 210 into a surface light source so that the light is evenly distributed.

[0099] The material of the light diffuser 230 can be PC (polycarbonate).
