[0006] Furthermore, the retarding mechanism includes: a retarding gear, a rotating shaft, and a rack; The rotating shaft is disposed on the side wall of the storage compartment, and the retarding gear is disposed on the rotating shaft; the rack is connected to the microphone holder, and the rack meshes with the retarding gear.

[0007] Furthermore, the deceleration mechanism also includes: a support member; The support member is disposed in the storage compartment. The support member has a groove and a protrusion on the side wall of the groove. The protrusion is used to restrict the movement of the rotating shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the retardation mechanism further includes: a retarder element; The retarder is disposed on the rotating shaft, and the retarder is used to limit the rotational speed of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes: a swinging component and a guide component; The guide is disposed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity, and the swing member is movably disposed on the microphone mount. The swing member is used to cooperate with the guide to lock the microphone mount.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide member has a first guide portion and a second guide portion; The first guide portion and the second guide portion are spaced apart, and a guide groove is provided between the first guide portion and the second guide portion, the guide groove being used to limit the swinging member.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0023] In this document, references to "embodiment" or "implementation" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment or implementation may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] In existing technologies, speaker-integrated microphones typically employ a press-lock structure for storage. When the user presses the microphone to unlock it, the internal spring rapidly releases its stored elastic potential energy, causing the microphone to pop out too quickly. This rapid movement is prone to mechanical impact, posing a risk of component wear and tear, and can also make the user perceive the device as unstable, affecting the user experience.

[0025] Therefore, this embodiment provides a microphone storage component and a smart speaker. The microphone storage component allows for smoother microphone raising and lowering.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 A microphone storage assembly 100 includes: Storage compartment 10, wherein the storage compartment 10 has a receiving cavity 11 that is open at one end; A microphone holder 20 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 11. The microphone holder 20 is used to fix a microphone. The microphone holder 20 has a first preset position and a second preset position, and the microphone holder 20 can switch between the first preset position and the second preset position. The limiting and decelerating component 30 is used to lock the microphone base 20 so that the microphone base 20 is in a first preset position, or to unlock the microphone base 20 so that the microphone base 20 provides damping force when it moves from the first preset position to the second preset position; An elastic reset member 40 is disposed inside the storage compartment 10 and abuts against the microphone holder 20.

[0027] The microphone storage assembly 100 includes: a storage compartment 10, which has an open-ended receiving cavity 11, i.e., the receiving cavity 11 is provided inside the storage compartment 10 and communicates with the outside, so that the microphone holder 20 can be installed inside the storage compartment 10. The microphone holder 20 is movably disposed in the receiving cavity 11 and is used to fix the microphone 50. The microphone holder 20 has a first preset position and a second preset position, and the microphone holder 20 can switch between the first preset position and the second preset position; an elastic reset member 40 disposed in the storage compartment 10 abuts against the microphone holder 20 and can provide a reset elastic force for the microphone holder 20 when it is unlocked from the first preset position; a limiting and decelerating member 34 is provided on the side of the storage compartment 10 opposite to the opening, which can lock the microphone 50 in the first preset position to restrict the microphone holder 20 inside the storage compartment 10 and prevent it from moving outwards. The storage compartment 10 moves along its length; the limiting and slowing component 30 can also limit the rising speed of the microphone base 20 during its movement from the first preset position to the second preset position after the microphone base 20 is unlocked, that is, it provides damping force to the microphone base 20 when it moves from the first preset position to the second preset position; specifically, when the limiting and slowing component 30 unlocks the microphone base 20, the elastic reset component 40 provides elastic force to the microphone base 20 so that the microphone base 20 can move from the first preset position to the second preset position. During the process of the microphone base 20 moving from the first preset position to the second preset position, the limiting and slowing component 30 can provide damping force to slow down the speed of the microphone base 20 when it moves from the first preset position to the second preset position, thereby allowing the microphone 50 to rise slowly and avoiding the situation where the microphone 50 pops out directly, so as to improve the user experience.

[0028] Understandably, when the microphone holder 20 is in the second preset position, it can be moved from the first preset position to the second preset position by pressing. During the process of the microphone holder 20 moving from the second preset position to the first preset position, the elastic reset member 40 is compressed by the microphone holder 20 so that the elastic reset member 40 has elastic potential energy. During the process of the microphone holder 20 moving from the first preset position to the second preset position, the elastic potential energy of the elastic reset member 40 is converted into elastic force so that the microphone holder 20 can move from the first preset position to the second preset position.

[0029] It should be noted that the height of the first preset position is lower than the height of the second preset position. When the microphone holder 20 is in the first preset position, the microphone holder 20 is in a locked state and the microphone 50 is located inside the storage compartment 10. When the microphone holder 20 is in the second preset position, the microphone 50 is in an unlocked state and part of the microphone 50 is located outside the storage compartment 10.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the limiting and decelerating assembly 30 includes: a limiting mechanism 31 and a decelerating mechanism 32; Both the limiting mechanism 31 and the slowing mechanism 32 are disposed in the storage compartment 10, and both the slowing mechanism and the limiting mechanism are connected to the microphone holder 20. The limiting mechanism 31 is used to lock or unlock the microphone jack 20 located in the first preset position; the slowing mechanism 32 is used to provide damping force when the microphone jack 20 switches from the first preset position to the second preset position.

[0031] Understandably, the speed limiting and deceleration component 30 includes: a limiting mechanism 31 and a deceleration mechanism 32; both the limiting mechanism 31 and the deceleration mechanism 32 are partially disposed within the storage compartment 10 and partially disposed on the microphone holder 20. The limiting mechanism 31 is used to lock the microphone holder 20 in a first preset position so that the microphone 50 can be fixed inside the microphone holder 20; the deceleration mechanism 32 is used to provide damping force to the microphone holder 20 when it moves from the first preset position to the second preset position, to prevent the microphone 50 from popping out quickly due to the instantaneous release of the elastic force of the elastic reset member 40; so that the microphone holder 20 and the microphone 50 can rise slowly, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0032] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the retardation mechanism 32 includes: a retardation gear 321, a rotating shaft 322, and a rack 323; The rotating shaft 322 is disposed on the side wall of the storage compartment 10, and the retarding gear 321 is disposed on the rotating shaft 322; the rack 323 is connected to the microphone base 20, and the rack 323 meshes with the retarding gear 321.

[0033] Understandably, the deceleration mechanism 32 includes a deceleration gear 321, a rotating shaft 322, and a rack 323. The two ends of the rotating shaft 322 are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the storage compartment 10, allowing the rotating shaft 322 to rotate. The deceleration gear 321 is mounted on the rotating shaft 322. The rack 323 is mounted on the bottom of the microphone holder 20 and meshes with the deceleration gear 321. This allows for deceleration through the engagement of the deceleration gear 321 and the rack 323. For example, by setting a deceleration gear 321 on the rotating shaft 322... An auxiliary component is provided to slow down the rotation of the rotating shaft 322, thereby increasing the friction when the rotating shaft 322 rotates. This slows down the rotation of the retarder gear 321, allowing the rack 323 to rise slowly, which in turn allows the microphone holder 20 to rise slowly. At the same time, the cooperation between the rack 323 and the retarder gear 321 also makes the microphone holder 20 rise more smoothly and reliably during the rising process, so as to prevent the microphone holder 20 from rising too fast and popping the microphone 50 out of the storage compartment 10, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the deceleration mechanism 32 further includes a support member 33; The support member 33 is disposed in the storage compartment 10. The support member 33 is provided with a groove 331. A protrusion 332 is provided on the side wall of the groove 331. The protrusion 332 is used to restrict the movement of the rotating shaft 322.

[0035] Understandably, the deceleration mechanism 32 also includes a support member 33, which is located inside the storage compartment 10. The support member 33 is used to support the rotating shaft 322. Specifically, support members 33 can be set at both ends of the rotating shaft 322, and grooves 331 are provided on the support member 33. The grooves 331 are used to accommodate the rotating shaft 322. The rotating part of the rotating shaft 322 is installed in the grooves 331, so that the rotating shaft 322 can rotate within the grooves 331. To prevent the rotating part of the rotating shaft 322 from displacing in the vertical direction from within the grooves 331 during rotation, the support member 33 is also provided with a protrusion 332, which is located within the grooves 331. In this way, the protrusion 332 can limit the vertical displacement of the support member 33, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating shaft 322 during rotation and improving the user's operating experience.

[0036] Please see Figure 9In some embodiments, the retardation mechanism 32 further includes a retarder 34; The retarder 34 is disposed on the rotating shaft 322, and the retarder 34 is used to limit the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 322.

[0037] Understandably, the decelerating element 34 is mounted on the rotating shaft 322 and can selectively contact or not contact the support element 33. The decelerating element 34 is used to slow down the rotating shaft 322 during rotation, so that the rotating shaft 322 can rotate more smoothly and slowly. Specifically, the decelerating element 34 can be a mechanical component that applies resistance to the rotating shaft 322 to reduce its rotational speed. It can be implemented by using components such as dampers, friction plates, reduction rings, or torsion springs. When the decelerating element 34 is a damper or a torsion spring, the decelerating element 34 does not need to contact the support element 33. However, when the decelerating element 34 is a friction plate or a reduction ring, it needs to cooperate with the support element 33 to generate resistance through friction, so as to reduce the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 322.

[0038] Understandably, when the rotating shaft 322 rotates smoothly and slowly, the gears on the rotating shaft 322 can also rotate smoothly and slowly. When the microphone holder 20 rises, it will drive the rack 323 to rise. However, the rack 323 meshes with the slowing gear 321, so the rising speed of the rack 323 will be affected by the slowing gear 321. When the rotation speed of the slowing gear 321 is low, the rising or falling speed of the rack 323 will also be low. The slowing component 34 on the rotating shaft 322 can make the rotating shaft 322 rotate smoothly and slowly, thus slowing down the rising and falling speed of the rack 323, and consequently slowing down the rising and falling speed of the microphone holder 20. This prevents the microphone holder 20 from popping out quickly due to the elastic force of the elastic reset component 40, ensuring that the microphone 50 extends smoothly and controllably from the storage compartment 10, improving the user's operating comfort and safety.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 31 includes: a swing member 311 and a guide member 312; The guide member 312 is disposed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, and the swing member 311 is movably disposed on the microphone base 20. The swing member 311 is used to cooperate with the guide member 312 to lock the microphone base 20.

[0040] Understandably, the limiting mechanism 31 includes a swing member 311 and a guide member 312; wherein, the guide member 312 is disposed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, and the swing member 311 is movably disposed on the microphone holder 20. The swing member 311 is used to cooperate with the guide member 312 to lock the microphone holder 20; the swing member 311 refers to a mechanical component that can rotate or translate around an axis, and the guide member 312 refers to a guide structure fixed to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, which can be implemented using a track structure with a groove 331 or a protrusion. The guide structure is used to limit and restrict the swing member 311 to limit the swing member 311 in the guide structure; specifically, the swing member 311 is disposed at the bottom of the microphone holder 20 and has a direction such as Figure 4 The reset function shown is a rightward rotation, which allows the swing member 311 to return to the rightmost position after being subjected to an external force.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the guide member 312 has a first guide portion 3121 and a second guide portion 3122; The first guide portion 3121 and the second guide portion 3122 are spaced apart, and a guide groove 12 is provided between the first guide portion 3121 and the second guide portion 3122. The guide groove 12 is used to limit the swing member 311.

[0042] Understandably, the guide member 312 has a first guide portion 3121 and a second guide portion 3122, wherein the first guide portion 3121 and the second guide portion 3122 are spaced apart, and a guide groove 12 is formed between the first guide member 312 and the second guide member 312. The guide groove 12 allows the swing member 311 to move along a preset path. During the movement, the swing member 311 is always constrained by the first guide portion 3121 and the second guide portion 3122, which can prevent the swing member 311 from deviating during the locking or unlocking process, thereby improving the stability of the limiting mechanism 31 during the unlocking or locking process.

[0043] Understandably, the guide groove 12 can also be used to limit the position of the swing member 311, so that the swing member 311 can be confined within the guide groove 12, thereby limiting the swing member 311 to a first preset position to lock the microphone 50. In order to facilitate the insertion of the swing member 311 into the guide groove 12, the size of the guide groove 12 needs to be adapted to the size of the swing member 311 so that the guide groove 12 can play a better guiding role.

[0044] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first guide portion 3121 and the second guide portion 3122 are provided with a plurality of bends 313, and the plurality of bends 313 form a limiting groove 314.

[0045] Understandably, both the first guide portion 3121 and the second guide portion 3122 are provided with multiple bends 313, which form a limiting groove 314, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the first guide portion 3121 includes three bends 313, namely a first bend 313, a second bend 313, and a third bend 313. The first bend 313 and the third bend 313 are both used for guiding, and the first bend 313 and the second bend 313 cooperate to form a limiting groove 314. The second guide portion 3122 has a fourth bend 313, a fifth bend 313, and a sixth bend 313, all of which are used for guiding.

[0046] Understandably, when it is necessary to lock the microphone 50, pressing down on the microphone 50 causes the microphone 50 to push the microphone base 20 downward. During the downward movement of the microphone base 20, the swing member 311 moves downward along the side wall of the first guide member 312. At this time, due to the downward pressure, the swing member 311 moves to the left. When the microphone base 20 is pressed down continuously until the swing member 311 enters the guide groove 12, the reset function of the swing member 311 causes it to move to the right. When the swing member 311 moves to the second bend 313, the second bend 313 blocks the movement of the swing member 311, so as to lock the swing member 311 into the limiting groove 314. This achieves the locking of the swing member 311. When the pressing pressure is removed, the elastic member pushes the microphone base 20 upward to lock the microphone base 20.

[0047] When unlocking is required, press the microphone 50 down again. The microphone holder 20 is pushed down again. After being pressed down, the microphone 50 first moves along the second bend 313, and then along the fifth bend 313, so that the swing member 311 moves out of the guide groove 12 to achieve unlocking. When the pressing force is removed, the swing member 311 moves upward along the side wall of the third bend 313 under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 40 to return to its initial position. This achieves unlocking of the microphone holder 20. (In this embodiment, both left and right sides are referred to as left and right sides.) Figure 4 (Using the left and right directions as an example for explanation).

[0048] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, a coil spring 315 is provided on the side of the swing member 311 near the microphone base 20, and the coil spring 315 is used to drive the swing member 311 to reset. The swing member 311 is provided with a mating member 3111 on the side away from the microphone base 20. The mating member 3111 is used to cooperate with the limiting groove 314 so that the microphone base 20 is located in the first preset position.

[0049] Understandably, in order to enable the swing member 311 to have a reset function, a coil spring 315 is also provided on the swing member 311. The coil spring 315 can apply a restoring force to the swing member 311 to make it rotate in a specific direction, so that the swing member 311 can move along the guide groove 12 to achieve the unlocking or locking function. Specifically, when the microphone base 20 is in the first preset position, the mating part 3111 is embedded in the limiting groove 314. At this time, the coil spring 315 is in a natural state or a slightly compressed state, and the position of the swing member 311 is fixed, thereby restricting the movement of the microphone base 20. When it is necessary to unlock the microphone holder 20, after the mating part 3111 moves out of the limiting groove 314, the coil spring 315 can push the swinging part 311 to move away from the limiting groove 314, so that the microphone holder 20 is unlocked and moves away from the guide groove 12; when the external force disappears, the coil spring 315 releases elastic potential energy to drive the swinging part 311 to reset, and the mating part 3111 re-contacts the limiting groove 314, ensuring that the microphone holder 20 can stably return to the first preset position.

[0050] Understandably, the end of the swing member 311 that is used to cooperate with the guide groove 12 is provided with a mating member 3111. The mating member 3111 protrudes from the swing member 311, can be inserted into the guide groove 12, and can move along the guide groove 12 to ensure the stability and smoothness of the microphone holder 20 when locking or unlocking.

[0051] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the microphone holder 20 is provided with a gripper 21 on the side away from the slowing mechanism 32, and the microphone 50 is provided with a slot 51 on its outer periphery, and the gripper 21 is used to cooperate with the slot 51. When the microphone socket 20 is in the first preset position, the gripper 21 engages in the slot 51 to lock the microphone 50; when the microphone socket 20 is in the second preset position, the gripper 21 moves out of the slot 51 to unlock the microphone 50.

[0052] Understandably, the microphone holder 20 has a gripper 21 on the side away from the deceleration mechanism 32. The gripper 21 can physically lock and unlock the microphone 50 by clamping or releasing. The slot 51 refers to an inwardly recessed structure on the surface of the microphone 50, which surrounds the outer periphery of the bottom of the microphone 50 and is used to form a stable locking engagement with the gripper 21. When the microphone holder 20 is in the first preset position, the gripper 21 is constrained inward by the inner wall of the storage compartment 10 or the guide structure, thereby embedding into the slot 51 of the microphone 50 to form a mechanical lock. When the microphone holder 20 moves to the second preset position, the gripper 21 is released from the constraint with the displacement of the microphone holder 20, expands outward under its own elasticity and separates from the slot 51, releasing the fixation of the microphone 50.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the inner wall of the storage compartment 10 is provided with a groove 3123, the groove 3123 having a guide portion 13, the guide portion 13 gradually protruding from the inner wall of the storage compartment 10 from the end away from the deceleration mechanism 32 toward the end close to the deceleration mechanism 32.

[0054] Understandably, a groove 3123 is provided on the side wall of the storage compartment 10. The groove 3123 has a guide portion 13. The guide portion 13 gradually protrudes from the end away from the deceleration mechanism 32 to the end closer to the deceleration mechanism 32, that is, it gradually protrudes from the inner side wall of the storage compartment 10 from top to bottom. In this way, the guide portion 13 can provide guidance for the gripper 21 during the movement of the gripper 21 from top to bottom. Specifically, the gripper 21 is set on the microphone base 20. When the microphone base 20 is locked, the microphone base 20 will also drive the gripper 21 to move as it moves from the second preset position to the first preset position (moving downward). During the downward movement, the gripper 21 is retracted inward by the guide portion 13, so that the gripper 21 can be inserted into the slot 51 to lock the microphone 50.

[0055] When the microphone holder 20 is unlocked, the microphone holder 20 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position (moving upwards), which also drives the gripper 21 to move. Since the gripper 21 has its own elasticity, as the gripper 21 moves upwards, it will gradually move away from the slot 51. In this way, the gripper 21 can be moved out of the slot 51 to unlock the microphone 50, so that the microphone 50 can be taken out of the storage compartment 10. During the unlocking process, the gripper 21 gradually releases the lock under the guidance of the guide part 13, avoiding the instantaneous release of elasticity to make the microphone 50 pop out of the storage compartment 10, so as to ensure that the microphone 50 can move smoothly during the unlocking or locking process and improve the user operation experience.

[0056] Please see Figure 13 and Figure 14 The present invention also provides a smart speaker 200, including: a speaker body 210, and the microphone storage component 100.

[0057] The storage component in this utility model can also be used in the smart speaker 200. Specifically, the smart speaker 200 includes a speaker body 210, and a microphone storage component 100 can be set inside the speaker body 210 so that the microphone 50 can slowly rise when the smart speaker 200 is unlocked, avoiding the situation where the microphone 50 pops out directly, thereby improving the user experience. In some embodiments, the microphone housing assembly 100 can be as follows: Figure 13 The speaker is vertically mounted in the smart speaker 200 in this manner; in other implementations, it can also be mounted vertically as follows: Figure 14 The horizontal setting shown is in the smart speaker 200.
