Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speaker technology, and in particular to a desktop speaker with an interchangeable artistic faceplate. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional desktop speakers primarily focus on optimizing acoustic performance, often resulting in relatively limited design options. Common products use fixed grilles or plastic shells, with limited color and texture choices, making it difficult to match diverse home decor styles or personal aesthetic preferences. If users wish to change the speaker's appearance, they typically need to replace the entire device, which is costly and environmentally unfriendly.

[0003] Some manufacturers have attempted to beautify speaker surfaces using stickers or spray coatings, but these methods still suffer from the following drawbacks: irreversible modifications, requiring the original structure to be damaged for customized appearances, making replacement difficult; lack of interoperability, with decorative layers obscuring physical buttons, leading to malfunctions. Furthermore, existing detachable covers mostly rely on clips or screws for fixation, requiring tools for disassembly and assembly, easily causing component wear, and reducing connection stability after long-term use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a desktop speaker that balances acoustic performance, ease of operation, and artistic personalization, and to give users the ability to flexibly customize the appearance through a freely interchangeable modular faceplate design, thereby enhancing the aesthetic value and user experience of the product. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the above-mentioned technologies, this utility model proposes a desktop speaker with an interchangeable artistic faceplate.

[0006] The present invention proposes a desktop speaker with an interchangeable artistic faceplate, comprising: a speaker body and a faceplate.

Detailed Implementation

[0058] 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.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The desktop speaker with an interchangeable artistic faceplate in this embodiment 1 includes the following main components: speaker body 1, faceplate 2, support 3, connector 4, locking 5, and two stabilizing bases 6.

[0061] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the speaker body 1 adopts a rectangular cabinet structure, having an upper side wall 11, a lower side wall 12, two side walls 13 connecting the upper side wall 11 and the lower side wall 12, and a rear side wall 14. Multiple function keys 15 are provided on one of the side walls 13, including volume up / down keys and a mode selection key. The speaker unit and circuit unit are integrated within the function key 15. The outer surfaces of the upper side wall 11, lower side wall 12, and the two side walls 13 are smooth planes, serving as mating surfaces.

[0062] likeFigure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the faceplate 2 includes: a frame support 21, a panel 22, a sound-permeable mesh cover 24, a damping layer 25, and a resilient button 26. The frame support 21 is formed by an upper side plate 21a, a lower side plate 21b, and two side plates 21c that are perpendicularly connected to each other. Its inner surface is covered with a damping layer 25, which may be made of silicone rubber, thermoplastic polyurethane, or a velvet fabric.

[0063] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the spring button 26 is integrated on the side panel 21c, and its position corresponds to the function key 15 of the speaker body 1. The position of the spring button 26 corresponds to the position of the function key 15, and pressing the spring button 26 can trigger the function key 15 of the speaker body 1.

[0064] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, panel 22 is fixed to the front side of frame bracket 21, with a rectangular hollow area 23 in the center, the size of which covers the front sound-emitting area of ​​speaker body 1. Sound-permeable mesh cover 24 covers the hollow area 23, with a mesh density of 120 mesh, and the outer surface is colored by spraying and cured by UV to form a decorative layer (not shown in the figure).

[0065] The decorative layer in this embodiment can also be formed by printing or vacuum coating.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the front frame 2 is assembled with the speaker body 1 through a damping connection structure. The front frame 2 is pushed towards the speaker body 1 in the horizontal direction, so that the mating surface of the damping layer 25 and the speaker body 1 forms a 0.5mm interference fit, generating a 6N static friction force, realizing tool-free assembly and disassembly (the disassembly force requires a horizontal pulling force of 5-8N).

[0067] The upper side plate 21a, lower side plate 21b, and two side plates 21c of the frame support 21 of the front frame 2 are detachably connected to the upper side wall 11, lower side wall 12, and two side walls 13 of the speaker body 1, respectively. This detachable connection is achieved through a friction damping structure, which includes a damping layer 25 covering the inner surface of the frame support 21 and mating surfaces formed on each side wall of the speaker body 1. When the frame support 21 mates with the speaker body 1, the damping layer 25 makes interference contact with the mating surfaces, generating static friction. The damping layer 25 may be made of, but is not limited to, the aforementioned silicone rubber, thermoplastic polyurethane, or velour fabric.

[0068] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the support member 3, the connecting seat 4, and the locking member 5 constitute the support adjustment system. Among them, the connecting seat 4 has a U-shaped structure, and the bottom of its U-shaped groove is fixedly connected to the rear side wall 14 of the speaker body 1. The first side 41a of its U-shaped groove has a first side opening 41c, and the second side 41b of its U-shaped groove has a second side opening 41d. The first side opening 41c and the second side opening 41d are coaxially arranged.

[0069] The support member 3 is a frame structure, including an upper connecting part. The upper connecting part of the support member 3 has a through hole 31, the position of which corresponds to the position of the first side opening 41c and the second side opening 41d. The top end of the upper connecting part is machined with a 15° inclined end face 32, which abuts against the bottom of the U-shaped groove when inserted into the connecting seat 4, so as to restrict the rotation of the support member 3 relative to the connecting seat 4.

[0070] The support member 3 extends downward from the upper connecting part and is provided with a first support foot 33 and a second support foot 34. The lower end of the first support foot 33 and the lower end of the second support foot 34 are respectively provided with anti-slip pads 35 to increase the friction with the support surface.

[0071] The locking component 5 includes a screw 51 and a nut 52. The screw 51 passes through the first side opening 41c, the through hole 31 and the second side opening 41d in sequence, and is connected to the nut 52 by thread, thereby locking the upper end of the upper connecting part of the support 3 into the U-shaped groove of the connecting seat 4.

[0072] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the stabilizing base 6, consisting of two L-shaped metal parts (or L-shaped plastic parts), is symmetrically fixed to the lower part of the rear side wall 14 of the speaker body 1. Each stabilizing base 6 includes a vertical connecting part 61 and a horizontal extending part 62. The vertical connecting part 61 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rear side wall 14 of the speaker body 1. The horizontal extending part 62 extends horizontally from the lower end of the vertical connecting part 61 along the direction of the lower side wall 12 of the speaker body 1, and the horizontal extending part 62 is used to abut against the supporting surface.

[0073] A gap space is formed between the upper surface of the horizontal extension 62 of the stabilizing base 6 and the lower side wall 12 of the speaker body 1; the vertical height H of the gap space is greater than the thickness T of the lower side plate 21b of the frame support 21 of the face frame 2, so that when the face frame 2 is disassembled, its lower side plate 21b can be moved out of the gap space in the horizontal direction.

[0074] This embodiment achieves a triple breakthrough of "artistic customization, acoustic fidelity, and minimalist maintenance" for the first time on a single audio device through three major designs: decorative acoustic mesh cover, interference damping quick release, and gap-type base, thus meeting the aesthetic and functional upgrade needs of consumer electronics products.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] like Figure 12 As shown, the main difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the desktop speaker with a replaceable artistic faceplate is composed of a speaker body 1 and a faceplate 2, omitting the support member 3, connecting seat 4, locking member 5, and two stabilizing bases 6 found in Embodiment 1. In use, the desktop speaker can be hung on a wall, and the decorative layer on the outer surface of the sound-permeable mesh cover 24 of the faceplate 2 is used for artistic decoration.

[0077] It should be noted that the speaker unit, circuit unit and energy storage battery integrated inside the speaker body of this utility model are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
