The deceleration mechanism is used to provide damping force when the microphone holder moves from a first preset position to a second preset position. A locking mechanism is provided at the bottom of the storage compartment, and the locking mechanism is used to lock the microphone holder so that the microphone holder is located in the first preset position.

[0005] Furthermore, the storage compartment is provided with multiple mounting parts protruding from the side wall of the storage compartment, and each mounting part is provided with the deceleration mechanism, which is connected to the microphone base.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the microphone holder is provided with a plurality of extension members, which extend into the mounting portion. The slowing mechanism is connected to the extension members to drive the microphone holder to move from the first preset position to the second preset position or to drive the microphone holder to move from the second preset position to the first preset position.

[0007] Furthermore, the deceleration mechanism also includes: an elastic reset element; The elastic reset member is disposed in the storage compartment and abuts against the microphone base.

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] 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.

[0023] The speaker in the related technology is equipped with a microphone. The microphone is locked and unlocked by pressing to store it in the speaker. However, when the microphone is unlocked, the elastic force causes the microphone to rise too quickly, which affects the user experience.

[0024] In existing technologies, smart speakers generally employ a built-in microphone structure to achieve voice interaction. In traditional designs, the microphone is retracted and ejected via a pressing mechanism, relying on spring force to drive the microphone to rise quickly. This mechanical structure releases stored elastic potential energy upon unlocking, making the microphone ejection speed difficult to control, easily generating mechanical impact noise, and potentially causing component collisions in confined spaces, affecting the device's lifespan. In some scenarios, when users frequently operate the microphone's raising and lowering, the excessively rapid ejection speed causes increased microphone sway, making it difficult to quickly and stably locate the microphone, thus affecting voice pickup accuracy.

[0025] 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 disposed within the receiving cavity 11. The microphone holder 20 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. A deceleration mechanism 30 is disposed in the storage compartment 10 and connected to the microphone base 20. The deceleration mechanism 30 is used to provide damping force when the microphone base 20 moves from a first preset position to a second preset position. A locking mechanism 40 is disposed at the bottom of the storage compartment 10. The locking mechanism 40 is used to lock the microphone holder 20 so that the microphone holder 20 is located in the first preset position.

[0026] The microphone storage assembly 100 includes: a storage compartment 10, which has an open end that communicates with the interior of a receiving cavity 11. A microphone holder 20 can be inserted into the receiving cavity 11 through the open end. The microphone holder 20 can move along the length of the receiving cavity 11. Specifically, the microphone holder 20 has a first preset position and a second preset position within the receiving cavity 11, and the microphone 50 can switch between the first preset position and the second preset position. A slowing mechanism 30 is disposed within the storage compartment 10 and is connected to the microphone holder 20. When the microphone holder 20 switches between the first preset position and the second preset position... When the microphone 50 is locked, the slowing mechanism 30 provides damping force to the microphone holder 20. The locking mechanism 40 is located at the bottom of the storage compartment 10. The locking mechanism 40 is used to lock the microphone holder 20 so that the microphone holder 20 can be located in the first preset position to lock the microphone 50. When the locking mechanism 40 unlocks the microphone holder 20, the slowing mechanism 30 can make the microphone holder 20 slowly move from the first preset position to the second preset position so that the microphone holder 20 can rise from the storage compartment 10 relatively slowly, thereby making the microphone 50 rise relatively slowly, preventing the microphone 50 from popping out of the storage compartment 10, and achieving the purpose of improving the user experience.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the storage compartment 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting portions 12 protruding from the side wall of the storage compartment 10, and each mounting portion 12 is provided with a slowing mechanism 30, and the slowing mechanism 30 is connected to the microphone base 20.

[0028] Understandably, multiple mounting portions 12 protruding from the side wall of the storage compartment 10 are provided inside the storage compartment 10. The mounting portions 12 are positioned above the highest movable height that the microphone base 20 can move to. In this embodiment, mounting portions 12 are provided, and multiple mounting portions 12 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the side wall of the storage compartment 10. Each mounting portion 12 is independently provided with a slowing mechanism 30. When the microphone base 20 moves inside the storage compartment 10, each slowing mechanism 30 generates a damping effect synchronously. Through multiple slowing mechanisms 30, the microphone base 20 inside the storage compartment 10 can be slowly raised. Specifically, when the microphone base 20 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position or from the second preset position to the first preset position, the slowing mechanism 30 generates a damping force opposite to the direction of movement, so that the movement speed tends to be stable and avoids sudden speed changes from interfering with the user's operating experience.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the microphone base 20 is provided with a plurality of extension members 21 at intervals on its outer periphery. The plurality of extension members 21 extend into the mounting portion 12. The slowing mechanism 30 is connected to the extension members 21 to drive the microphone base 20 to move from the first preset position to the second preset position or to drive the microphone base 20 to move from the second preset position to the first preset position.

[0030] Understandably, the extension 21 refers to a protruding structure fixed to the outer periphery of the microphone holder 20. The number of extensions 21 is the same as the number of deceleration mechanisms 30. The extensions 21 are used to connect with the deceleration mechanisms 30. The extensions 21 extend into the mounting portion 12, and the central axis of the deceleration mechanism 30 is connected to the extensions 21. When the deceleration mechanism 30 extends or retracts, the extensions 21 can also move along the length of the mounting portion 12 along with the deceleration mechanism 30. Specifically, when the microphone holder 20 needs to move from the first preset position to the second preset position, the deceleration mechanism 30 applies a reverse force to the microphone holder 20 through the extensions 21 to slow down the microphone holder 20 from the first moving speed. When the microphone holder 20 needs to move in the opposite direction, the deceleration mechanism 30 also provides damping through the extensions 21 to ensure a smooth movement process and prevent the microphone 50 from rushing out of the storage compartment 10, thereby improving the stability and comfort of user operation.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the deceleration mechanism 30 further includes an elastic reset member 35; The elastic reset member 35 is disposed in the storage compartment 10. The elastic reset member 35 abuts against the microphone base 20. The elastic reset member 35 is used to move the microphone base 20 from the first preset position to the second preset position.

[0032] Understandably, the deceleration mechanism 30 also includes: an elastic reset member 35, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the microphone base 20 and abuts against the microphone base 20. The elastic reset member 35 can provide elastic force when the microphone base 20 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position. Specifically, the elastic reset member 35 can store elastic potential energy and generate elastic force when released. Specifically, it can be implemented by components such as a coil spring or an elastic rubber body. Understandably, when the microphone holder 20 is in the second preset position, it can be moved from the second preset position to the first preset position by pressing. During this movement, the elastic reset member 35 is compressed, giving it elastic potential energy. As the microphone holder 20 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position, this potential energy is converted into elastic force, enabling the microphone holder 20 to move from the first preset position to the second preset position. However, during this movement, the deceleration mechanism 30 provides damping force, allowing the elastic potential energy of the elastic reset member 35 to be released slowly. For example, the elastic force of the elastic reset member 35 drives the microphone holder 20 to rise. The fluid resistance or frictional resistance formed between the piston 33 and the housing 31 within the deceleration mechanism 30 gradually consumes the kinetic energy, limiting the movement speed of the microphone holder 20 within a preset range. This ensures that the microphone holder 20 can rise slowly and uniformly.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, one end of the slowing mechanism 30 is connected to the microphone holder 20, and the other end of the slowing mechanism 30 is disposed at the bottom of the storage compartment 10.

[0034] It is understood that the slowing mechanism 30 in this embodiment is set in a parallel manner with the above embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the slowing mechanism 30 is set at the bottom of the storage compartment 10. The two ends of the slowing mechanism 30 are respectively connected to the bottom of the storage compartment 10 and the microphone holder 20. The slowing mechanism 30 can be set at intervals in the storage compartment 10. When the microphone holder 20 moves in the storage compartment 10, the slowing mechanism 30 generates a damping force synchronously. Through multiple slowing mechanisms 30, the microphone holder 20 in the storage compartment 10 can be slowly raised. Specifically, when the microphone holder 20 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position or from the second preset position to the first preset position, the slowing mechanism 30 generates a damping force in the opposite direction of movement, so that the movement speed tends to be stable and avoids sudden speed changes from interfering with the user's operating experience.

[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a slowing mechanism 30 is provided at the bottom of the microphone base 20. When the slowing mechanism 30 moves upward, it pulls the microphone base 20 so that the microphone base 20 can rise slowly. In the above embodiment, the microphone base 20 is pressed down during the rising process so that the microphone 50 rises slowly.

[0036] Please see Figure 5In some embodiments, the deceleration mechanism 30 includes: a housing 31, a return spring 32, a piston 33, and a push rod 34; The piston 33 and the return spring 32 are both disposed inside the housing 31. One end of the return spring 32 abuts against the housing 31, and the other end of the return spring 32 abuts against the piston 33. The piston 33 is connected to the push rod 34.

[0037] Understandably, the deceleration mechanism 30 includes: a housing 31, a piston 33, and a return spring 32, all housed within the housing 31. The piston 33 is connected to the push rod 34, and the return spring 32 is located on the side away from the push rod 34, abutting against the piston 33. The return spring 32 can be compressed by the piston 33, so that the return spring 32 has the force to reset the piston 33. The piston 33 divides the cavity into a lower chamber and an upper chamber. The lower chamber is connected to the outside through a through hole, and the upper chamber is filled with liquid. When the user presses the microphone 50 downwards, the push rod 34 and the piston 33 are pressed downwards, increasing the gas pressure in the lower chamber. The locking mechanism keeps the piston 33 in its current position. When the locking assembly unlocks, the air pressure in the lower chamber and the reset elasticity cause the piston 33 to be pushed up, which in turn causes the push rod 34 to move upward, thereby raising the microphone 50. As the microphone 50 moves upward, the liquid in the upper chamber provides resistance, making the piston 33 rise at a slower speed. This suppresses the instantaneous acceleration of the microphone holder 20, avoids mechanical impact caused by excessively rapid release of elasticity, and ensures the smooth movement of the microphone holder 20 during locking and unlocking, thus improving the user's operating experience.

[0038] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 40 includes: a swing member 41 and a guide member 42; The guide member 42 is disposed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, and the swing member 41 is movably disposed on the microphone base 20. The swing member 41 is used to cooperate with the guide member 42 to lock the microphone base 20.

[0039] Understandably, the limiting mechanism includes a swing member 41 and a guide member 42. The guide member 42 is located at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, and the swing member 41 is movably mounted on the microphone base 20. The swing member 41 is used to cooperate with the guide member 42 to lock the microphone base 20. The swing member 41 is a mechanical component that can rotate or translate around an axis. The guide member 42 is a guide structure fixed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, which can be implemented using a track structure with grooves or protrusions. The guide structure is used to limit and swing member 41 to limit the swing member 41 within the guide structure. Specifically, the swing member 41 is located at the bottom of the microphone base 20, and the swing member 41 has a reset function (the swing member 41 is provided with a torsion spring so that the swing member 41 can reset), so that the swing member 41 can return to its original position after the external force is removed.

[0040] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the guide member 42 has a first guide portion 421 and a second guide portion 422; The first guide portion 421 and the second guide portion 422 are spaced apart on the guide member 42, and a guide groove 423 is provided between the first guide portion 421 and the second guide portion 422. The guide groove 423 is used to limit the swing member 41.

[0041] Understandably, the guide member 42 has a first guide portion 421 and a second guide portion 422, wherein the first guide portion 421 and the second guide portion 422 are spaced apart, and a guide groove 423 is formed between the first guide member 42 and the second guide member 42. The guide groove 423 allows the swing member 41 to move along a preset path. During the movement, the swing member 41 is always constrained by the first guide portion 421 and the second guide portion 422, which can prevent the swing member 41 from deviating during the locking or unlocking process, thereby improving the stability of the limiting mechanism during the unlocking or locking process.

[0042] Understandably, the guide groove 423 can be used to limit the position of the swing member 41 so that the swing member 41 can be confined within the guide groove 423, thereby limiting the swing member 41 to a first preset position to lock the microphone 50. In order to facilitate the insertion of the swing member 41 into the guide groove 423, the size of the guide groove 423 needs to be adapted to the size of the swing member 41 so that the guide groove 423 can play a better guiding role.

[0043] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first guide portion 421 and the second guide portion 422 are provided with a plurality of bends (all bends are shown in the drawings), and the plurality of bends form a limiting groove 13.

[0044] Understandably, both the first guide portion 421 and the second guide portion 422 are provided with multiple bends, which form a limiting groove 13. As shown in the figure, the first guide portion 421 includes three bends, namely the first bend, the second bend, and the third bend. The first bend and the third bend are used for guiding, and the first bend and the second bend cooperate to form the limiting groove 13. The second guide portion 422 has a fourth bend, a fifth bend, and a sixth bend, which are all used for guiding.

[0045] 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 41 moves downward along the side wall of the first guide member 42. At this time, due to the downward pressure, the swing member 41 moves to the left. When the microphone base 20 is pressed down continuously until the swing member 41 can enter the guide groove 423, after the swing member 41 enters the guide groove 423, the reset function of the swing member 41 causes the swing member 41 to move to the right. When the swing member 41 moves to the second bend, the second bend blocks the movement of the swing member 41, so as to lock the swing member 41 into the limiting groove 13. In this way, the swing member 41 can be locked. When the pressing pressure is removed, the elastic reset member 35 pushes the microphone base 20 upward to lock the microphone base 20.

[0046] 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 and then along the fifth bend, so that the swing member 41 moves out of the guide groove 423, thereby unlocking. When the pressing force is released, the swing member 41 moves upward along the side wall of the third bend under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 35 to return to its initial position. This unlocks the microphone holder 20. (In this embodiment, both left and right sides are referred to as...) Figure 6 (Using the left and right directions as an example for explanation).

[0047] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the microphone holder 20 is provided with a plurality of grippers 22 on its outer periphery, and the microphone 50 is provided with a slot 51 on its outer periphery, and the grippers 22 are used to cooperate with the slot 51. When the microphone socket 20 is in the first preset position, the gripper 22 engages in the slot 51 to lock the microphone 50; when the microphone socket 20 is in the second preset position, the gripper 22 moves out of the slot 51 to unlock the microphone 50.

[0048] Understandably, the microphone holder 20 has a gripper 22 on the side away from the slowing mechanism. The gripper 22 can 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 engagement with the gripper 22. When the microphone holder 20 is in the first preset position, the gripper 22 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 22 is released from the constraint as the microphone holder 20 moves, expands outward under its own elasticity and separates from the slot 51, releasing the fixation of the microphone 50.

[0049] Please see Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the inner wall of the storage compartment 10 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 13, the limiting grooves 13 having a guide portion 131, the guide portion 131 gradually protruding from the inner wall of the storage compartment 10 from the end away from the locking mechanism 40 toward the end close to the locking mechanism 40. The gripper 22 can slide along the length direction of the limiting groove 13.

[0050] Understandably, a limiting groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the storage compartment 10. The limiting groove 13 has a guide part 131. The guide part 131 gradually protrudes from the end away from the slowing mechanism to the end closer to the slowing mechanism, that is, it gradually protrudes from the inner side wall of the storage compartment 10 from top to bottom. In this way, the guide part 131 can provide guidance for the gripper 22 during the process of the gripper 22 moving from top to bottom. Specifically, the gripper 22 is set on the microphone base 20. When the microphone base 20 is locked, the microphone base 20 will also drive the gripper 22 to move during the process of moving from the second preset position to the first preset position (moving downward). During the downward movement, the gripper 22 is retracted inward by the action of the guide part 131. In this way, the gripper 22 can be inserted into the slot 51 to lock the microphone 50.

[0051] 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 22 to move. Since the gripper 22 has its own elasticity, as the gripper 22 moves upwards, it will gradually move away from the slot 51. In this way, the gripper 22 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 22 gradually releases the lock under the guidance of the guide part 131, 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.

[0052] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the microphone socket 20 has a contact 23 on the side for mounting the microphone 50, and the microphone 50 has a contact 52 on the side for connecting to the microphone socket 20. The contact 52 is electrically connected to the contact 23 and is used to charge the microphone 50.

[0053] Understandably, a protrusion is provided on the side of the microphone holder 20 for mounting the microphone 50, and the contact 23 can be implemented using a spring-loaded pin structure; the contact 52 is located at the bottom of the microphone 50, and the contact 52 is electrically connected to the energy storage device (battery) in the microphone 50, so that the energy storage device in the microphone 50 can be charged through the contact 52; when the microphone 50 is placed in the storage compartment 10, the microphone 50 contacts the microphone holder 20 under the influence of gravity, and when they contact, the contact 23 on the microphone holder 20 can make contact with the contact 52 on the microphone 50, so that the battery inside the microphone 50 can be powered through the cooperation of the contact 23 and the contact 52; in order to make the contact 23 and the contact 52 cooperate precisely, a positioning groove can also be provided on the side wall of the storage compartment 10 so that the microphone 50 can be accurately positioned when it is installed on the microphone holder 20.

[0054] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The present invention also provides a smart speaker 200, including: a speaker body 210, and the microphone storage component 100.

[0055] The microphone storage component 100 in this utility model can also be used in a smart speaker 200.
