[0043] 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.

[0044] Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of the structure of the entertainment device 100 provided for some embodiments of this application; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of an entertainment device 100 provided for some embodiments of this application; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The front view; Figure 4 A partial structural schematic diagram of an entertainment device 100 provided for some embodiments of this application.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an entertainment device 100, including a housing 10, a protective shell 20, and a power module 30. The housing 10 has a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 disposed opposite to each other along a first direction X. The protective shell 20 is disposed inside the housing 10, with one end connected to the first wall 11 and the other end connected to the second wall 12. The power module 30 is disposed inside the protective shell 20 and configured to supply power to the entertainment device 100.

[0046] The protective housing 20 serves as the mounting base for the power module 30. The protective housing 20 can be made of materials such as steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber composites.

[0047] The protective shell 20 and the first wall 11 can be fixedly connected, movably connected, or abutted. Similarly, the protective shell 20 and the second wall 12 can be fixedly connected, movably connected, or abutted.

[0048] In one example, the power module 30 includes batteries, the number of which can be set as needed.

[0049] The protective case 20 is shaped to fit the battery; for example, the protective case 20 adopts a cylindrical design adapted to the battery.

[0050] In this embodiment, one end of the protective shell 20 is connected to the first wall 11 and the other end is connected to the second wall 12. This connection structure allows the protective shell 20 to become a force transmission part of the entertainment device 100. When the entertainment device 100 is impacted along the first direction X, the protective shell 20 can transmit the compressive force along the first direction X, thereby maintaining the structural integrity of the entertainment device 100 and reducing the risk of leakage or fire of the power module 30.

[0051] In some embodiments, the protective shell 20 is movably connected to the first wall 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, the protective shell 20 is movably connected to the second wall 12.

[0053] The movable connection can absorb external impact or vibration energy. Compared with a rigid connection, it can avoid problems such as cracking of the connection and damage to components caused by the direct transmission of impact force to the shell 10.

[0054] Clearly, designating the protective casing 20 as a force transmission component can only mitigate the impact on the power module 30 along the first direction X; when the power module 30 is impacted along other directions, there is still a risk of leakage or fire.

[0055] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the guide mechanism 40 provided for some embodiments of this application; Figure 6 A partial structural schematic diagram of an entertainment device 100 provided for some embodiments of this application, wherein the protective shell 20 is in an initial state; Figure 7 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of an entertainment device 100 provided for some embodiments of this application, wherein the protective shell 20 is in an avoidance state.

[0056] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, at least one of the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 is provided with a guide mechanism 40, which is configured to guide the protective shell 20 to move along the second direction Y when the protective shell 20 is impacted along the second direction Y, so that the protective shell 20 avoids the impact direction, the second direction Y intersecting the first direction X.

[0057] In one example, both the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are provided with guide mechanisms 40.

[0058] In one example, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0059] In addition to using the protective shell 20 as a force transmission part, in this embodiment of the application, the protective shell 20 avoids a certain distance along the impact direction. This avoidance process has the functions of buffering energy absorption and displacement force relief, which can provide a buffer space for instantaneous and concentrated impacts, and convert the impact force into a dispersed force that is gradually released during the avoidance process. This significantly reduces the impact load intensity directly transmitted to the power module 30 inside the protective shell 20, and avoids the power module 30 from cracking and internal structural damage due to severe stress.

[0060] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the guide mechanism 40 includes a guide portion 44 and a limiting portion 45. The guide portion 44 extends along a second direction Y, and the limiting portion 45 is configured to restrict the movement of the protective shell 20 along the second direction Y and to deform when the protective shell 20 avoids an impact in the impact direction so that the protective shell 20 passes over the limiting portion 45.

[0061] The specific structure of the guide part 44 can be flexibly set. It can use a guide rail alone, a guide groove alone, or a guide rail and a guide groove at the same time to form a matching guide structure.

[0062] The limiting part 45 can be a groove-shaped structure, a protrusion-shaped structure, or a combination of a groove-shaped structure and a protrusion-shaped structure.

[0063] The limiting part 45 can ensure the positional stability of the protective shell 20 when the entertainment device 100 is in use, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the power module 30 and ensuring that the power module 30 can achieve stable power supply; at the same time, the limiting part 45 will deform during the process of the protective shell 20 avoiding the impact direction, and the protective shell 20 can pass through the limiting part 45 through this deformation, thereby realizing the avoidance action along the impact direction.

[0064] In some embodiments, the guide portion 44 has a first end 441 and a second end 442 opposite to each other, and the limiting portion 45 is spaced apart from the first end 441 and the second end 442 along the second direction Y.

[0065] It is understood that the limiting part 45 is located between the first end 441 and the second end 442. In this way, when the protective shell 20 is impacted and passes the limiting part 45, it can still be within the constraint range of the guide part 44 and is not easy to deviate in other directions other than the impact direction. This reduces the possibility of the protective shell 20 interfering with or colliding with other components during the avoidance process.

[0066] Reference Figure 6In some embodiments, multiple limiting portions 45 are provided, and the multiple limiting portions 45 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. In the initial state, the protective shell 20 forms a limiting engagement with one of the multiple limiting portions 45. When the protective shell 20 is impacted along the second direction Y, the limiting force provided by the limiting portion 45 that provides the limiting force can be overcome by the protective shell 20, so that the protective shell 20 passes over the limiting portion 45 and forms a new limiting engagement with the adjacent limiting portion 45.

[0067] For example, four limiting portions 45 are provided, and the four limiting portions 45 are spaced apart along the second direction Y.

[0068] In this embodiment, the provision of multiple limiting parts 45 enables the protective shell 20 to have multi-level avoidance conditions, thereby giving the avoidance process a stepped avoidance characteristic. Specifically, the number of avoidance levels of the protective shell 20 varies depending on the impact force. The greater the impact force, the more limiting parts 45 the protective shell 20 passes through, and the more avoidance levels it has.

[0069] For example, when the entertainment device 100 is in use, the initial state of the protective casing 20 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when the protective shell 20 is impacted along the second direction Y, the multi-stage avoidance mechanism will... Figure 7 As shown, by Figures 6 to 7 During the avoidance process, the protective shell 20 crossed the three limit sections 45.

[0070] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the guide mechanism 40 further includes a base 43 and a first groove plate 41 and a second groove plate 42 disposed on the base 43. The base 43 is connected to the housing 10. The first groove plate 41 and the second groove plate 42 define a plurality of straight groove segments and a plurality of limiting groove segments. The straight groove segments and the limiting groove segments are alternately arranged along the second direction Y. The limiting groove segments connect two adjacent straight groove segments. One end of the protective shell 20 near the guide mechanism 40 is embedded in one of the plurality of limiting groove segments. The straight groove segment is the guide part 44, and the limiting groove segment is the limiting part 45.

[0071] Specifically, the first groove plate 41 and the second groove plate 42 are spaced apart along a third direction, which is perpendicular to the plane containing the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first groove plate 41 has a plurality of first straight portions and a plurality of first recesses, which are alternately arranged along the second direction Y. The second groove plate 42 has a plurality of second straight portions and a plurality of second recesses, which are alternately arranged along the second direction Y. The second straight portions correspond to the first straight portions, and the two define a straight groove segment. The second recesses correspond to the first recesses, and the two define a limiting groove segment.

[0072] In one example, the second slot plate 42 and the first slot plate 41 are arranged symmetrically, with the center line of symmetry parallel to the second direction Y.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first slot plate 41 and the second slot plate 42 may be made of copper.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first groove plate 41 and the second groove plate 42, which are made of copper, have low hardness. This characteristic helps the first groove plate 41 and the second groove plate 42 to deform themselves, so that the protective shell 20 can smoothly pass over the limiting part 45.

[0075] In some embodiments, the protective shell 20 includes a body 21 and a slider 22. The power module 30 is disposed within the body 21, and the slider 22 is disposed at one end of the body 21 near the guide mechanism 40. The slider 22 is embedded in one of a plurality of limiting slots to form a limiting engagement with the limiting slot. The slider 22 facilitates the connection between the protective shell 20 and the housing 10, and allows the protective shell 20 to avoid obstruction along the second direction Y.

[0076] For example, slider 22 is a pulley.

[0077] In some embodiments, the ratio of the size of the slider 22 to the width of the straight groove section is between 1.2 and 1.8 along the width direction of the straight groove section.

[0078] With this configuration, the slider 22 and the straight groove section are appropriately sized in the width direction. This allows the slider 22 to be stably confined within the limiting groove section during normal use of the protective shell 20, and also allows the slider 22 to break free from the limiting groove section and enter the straight groove section when the protective shell 20 is impacted, thereby enabling the protective shell 20 to avoid collisions.

[0079] For example, the ratio can be 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and any value in between.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first slot plate 41 is a conductor, and the power module 30 is electrically connected to the first slot plate 41 via a slider 22. This configuration allows the first slot plate 41 to conduct current, replacing traditional wires and thus simplifying the number of components.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second slot plate 42 is a conductor, and the power module 30 is electrically connected to the second slot plate 42 via a slider 22. This configuration allows the second slot plate 42 to conduct current, replacing traditional wires and thus simplifying the number of components.

[0082] It should be understood that when both the first slot plate 41 and the second slot plate 42 are conductors, both the first slot plate 41 and the second slot plate 42 can be used as electrical connection components instead of traditional wires. As long as one of the first slot plate 41 and the second slot plate 42 is in stable contact with the slider 22, the two can be electrically connected.

[0083] It is understood that the power module 30 can be electrically connected to the first slot plate 41 and / or the second slot plate 42 via the slider 22.

[0084] Of course, in other embodiments, the slider 22 can also be an insulating component. The slider 22 is provided with conductive terminals, which are electrically connected to the power module 30 through wires passing through the slider 22. The conductive terminals are in contact with the first slot plate 41 and / or the second slot plate 42, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the power module 30 and the first slot plate 41 and / or the second slot plate 42.

[0085] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the entertainment device 100 further includes an audio playback module 50, which is connected to the housing 10 and electrically connected to the power module 30.

[0086] Furthermore, the audio playback module 50 is electrically connected to the first slot plate 41.

[0087] Furthermore, the audio playback module 50 is electrically connected to the second slot plate 42.

[0088] In the above embodiments of this application, the first slot plate 41 and / or the second slot plate 42 are configured as conductors. This configuration not only replaces the traditional guide structure to perform the guiding function, but also provides a larger electrical connection area. When the protective shell 20 is impacted and avoids an impact along the second direction Y, and after the avoidance is completed, it can still maintain an electrical connection with the first slot plate 41 and / or the second slot plate 42, thereby improving power supply stability.

[0089] In addition to the above-described embodiment in which the protective shell 20 is configured for passive avoidance, the protective shell 20 can also be designed for active avoidance.

[0090] In some embodiments, the protective shell 20 is movably disposed on the housing 10 along the second direction Y, and the guiding mechanism 40 further includes a driving member 48, which is used to drive the protective shell 20 to move along the second direction Y when the protective shell 20 is impacted along the second direction Y. This configuration enables active avoidance and improves the timeliness of avoidance.

[0091] The driving component 48 can be a power component such as a motor or electric motor.

[0092] In some embodiments, when the entertainment device 100 is applied to the vehicle 1000, the drive member 48 is electrically connected to the control system of the vehicle 1000. When the control system receives a collision signal from the vehicle 1000 or the entertainment device 100 along the second direction Y, it controls the drive member 48 to operate. The drive member 48 drives the protective shell 20 to move along the second direction Y to achieve avoidance.

[0093] In some embodiments, the guide mechanism 40 further includes a transmission assembly, through which the drive member 48 drives the protective housing 20 to move. The transmission assembly can be used to change the direction and form of power transmission to adapt to different layouts and space requirements.

[0094] Figure 8 Schematic diagrams of the transmission assembly provided for some embodiments of this application, with reference to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a gear 46 and a rack 47 that mesh with each other. The gear 46 is rotatably disposed on the housing 10 and is connected to the drive member 48. The rack 47 is connected to one end of the protective housing 20 near the guide mechanism 40.

[0095] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a worm gear and a worm for meshing transmission. The worm is rotatably disposed in the housing 10 and is connected to the drive member 48. A tooth is provided at one end of the protective housing 20 near the guide mechanism 40, and the tooth meshes with the worm gear.

[0096] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a lead screw and a nut, which are connected in a transmission manner. The lead screw is rotatably disposed in the housing 10, and the nut is connected to the protective housing 20. The drive member 48 is configured to drive the lead screw to rotate.
