Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of smart speakers, specifically relating to an AI interactive speaker with a flexible touch panel (TP). Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and intelligent recognition, smart interactive speakers have become one of the core interactive devices in smart devices. Existing interactive speakers typically integrate voice assistants, microphone arrays, speakers, virtual avatar imaging, and wireless communication modules, allowing users to control them and interact with virtual avatars through voice commands or gestures.

[0003] However, in actual user applications, the following technical problems have been found in existing AI interactive speakers: Traditional interactive speakers, i.e., speakers with ordinary screens, mainly rely on voice and touch input on the screen. When users want to use touch input, or in noisy environments or when privacy is required, or when voice interaction is inefficient and inconvenient, they can only use touch input. However, due to the fixed position and limited size of the ordinary screen, the interaction area and method are physically confined to one side of the control panel. This not only limits the amount of information it can hold but also results in a single presentation method. Furthermore, if users can only interact with the virtual image displayed on the speaker by touching one panel, it leads to a lack of emotional engagement and immersion. This touch interaction method is not only cold and rigid but also lacks human-like affinity. Without direct touch control of the displayed virtual image, it is difficult to establish an emotional connection through interactive operations.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing an AI interactive speaker with a flexible touch panel (TP). Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes an AI interactive speaker with a flexible touch panel (TP) to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An AI interactive speaker with a flexible touch panel (TP) includes a co-extruded light-transmitting chamber installed inside the enclosure. A lower connecting seat is provided at the lower end of the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber. The co-extruded light-transmitting chamber includes a first chamber and a second chamber, which are fixedly connected by a top-mounted fixing ring. A second limiting part adapted to an imaging screen is provided inside the lower connecting seat. First limiting parts adapted to the imaging screen are spaced apart on the inner wall of the second chamber. A flexible touch panel (TP) is installed on the inner wall of the first chamber, and the functional area within the flexible touch panel corresponds to the display area of ​​the imaging screen.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, it also includes a base, and the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber is mounted on the base via a lower connecting seat.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0020] Example 1 like Figures 1-7As shown, the specific solution of this embodiment is as follows: an AI interactive speaker with a flexible touch panel (TP), including a co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 installed inside the chamber. The co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 is directly formed using a co-extrusion process. A lower connecting seat 7 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4. The co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 includes a first chamber 41 and a second chamber 42. In this embodiment, the first chamber 41 is made of transparent material. The first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 are fixedly connected by a fixing ring 44 installed at the top. That is, the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 are combined into a cylindrical integrated chamber, and then fixed by the fixing ring 44 installed at the top for easy installation and use. The lower connecting seat... The second chamber 42 is equipped with a second limiting part 71 adapted to the imaging screen 8. The inner wall of the second chamber 42 is provided with first limiting parts 43 adapted to the imaging screen 8 at intervals. In this embodiment, the second limiting part 71 is a semi-circular top plate located at the bottom of one side of the imaging screen 8. The first limiting part 43 consists of small limiting blocks spaced vertically at intervals, positioned at the four corners on the other side of the imaging screen 8 on the inner wall of the second chamber 42. Through the cooperation of the first limiting part 43 and the second limiting part 71, the imaging screen 8 can be more easily installed and fixed within the chamber. A flexible touch TP45 (TP stands for touch) is installed on the inner wall of the first chamber 41. The flexible touch panel (TP45) is a transparent and flexible touch device. The functional area within the flexible touch panel (TP45) corresponds to the display area of ​​the imaging screen (8). The functional area is the touch response area of ​​the flexible touch panel (TP45). This area corresponds to the imaging screen, allowing real-time operation on the virtual image. The virtual image can also provide real-time feedback based on the operation commands in the corresponding area, thus enabling a more immersive interaction.

[0021] The top of the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 are provided with fixing grooves 46 that are adapted to the fixing ring 44; when the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 are combined and spliced, a cylindrical chamber shape is formed, and the two are fastened and fixed by the fixing ring 44 installed on the top; through the arrangement of the first chamber 41, the second chamber 42 and the fixing ring 44, the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 of this device can be further facilitated in assembly, disassembly and molding.

[0022] It also includes a base 5, on which the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 is mounted via a lower connecting seat 7. The co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the lower connecting seat 7, and a cross-shaped buckle is provided at the lower end of the lower connecting seat 7. A slot that matches the buckle is provided on the upper surface of the base 5. That is, the base 5 fixes the lower connecting seat 7 through the cooperation of the buckle and the slot. The arrangement of the base 5 and the lower connecting seat 7 makes it easier to install and fix the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4.

[0023] Example 2: like Figures 1-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 is provided with an upper mounting frame 2 at its upper end, and a top cover 1 is provided inside the upper mounting frame 2; the upper mounting frame 2 is fixedly installed on the upper edge of the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 in a covering manner, and at the same time, the top cover 1 is pressed and fixed between the upper mounting frame 2 and the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4; the arrangement of the upper mounting frame 2 and the top cover 1 makes it easier to install the top cover 1 and facilitate subsequent maintenance.

[0024] The base 5 has symmetrically spaced support connection parts 3 that connect to the side wall of the upper mounting frame 2; the support connection parts 3 enable the co-extruded light-transmitting chamber 4 to be more stably fixed between the base 5 and the upper mounting frame 2.

[0025] Example 3: like Figures 1-7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a control panel 6 is provided on one side of the base 5. A processor is provided inside the control panel 6. The flexible touch TP45 is electrically connected to the processor inside the control panel 6 via an FPC (i.e., flexible circuit board, which is prior art and not shown in the figure). In this embodiment, the processor is also connected to the display screen 8. When the user touches the flexible touch TP45, the flexible touch TP45 will emit a signal. This signal is transmitted to the processor inside the control panel 6 via the FPC. After the processor analyzes and processes the signal, it transmits the feedback information of the instruction to the display screen 8 inside the cabin through the control circuit, thereby providing feedback. At the same time, the processor is also provided with an AI algorithm module, which can process the received information more intelligently and intelligently adjust or control other components of the speaker.

[0026] A camera 21 is installed inside one side of the upper mounting frame 2, and a cover plate 22 is detachably installed on the side wall of the upper mounting frame 2 at the position of the camera 21. The camera 21 is electrically connected to the control circuit, which is connected to the processor. The information captured by the camera 21 can be transmitted to the processor for processing, and the processor will then send the processing results to other components of the device for control. The camera 21 enables the device to recognize the user's actions and receive control commands, further improving the operability of the device. The cover plate 22 protects the camera 21 when it is turned off or not in use, while also protecting user privacy.

[0027] Example 4: like Figures 4-7As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the inner wall of the first cabin 41 is provided with a mounting groove 412 adapted to the flexible touch TP45; that is, in this embodiment, the dimming film 45 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 412 by means of bonding.

[0028] The first compartment 41 and the second compartment 42 are respectively provided with matching connecting protrusions 411 and connecting grooves 421 at the connection of their side wall edges; the connection protrusions 411 and connecting grooves 421 make it easy to position the first compartment 41 and the second compartment 42 at the joint, which further facilitates installation.

[0029] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this speaker, first power on the device to start it up. Then, the speaker's imaging screen 8 will display a virtual image, and the speaker will play sound. During use, the user can issue commands to the speaker through the camera 21, and the camera 21 will also capture the user's movements to intelligently control the displayed virtual image. The user can adjust the virtual image displayed on the screen 8 through the control panel 6 or through the processor in the control panel 6. At the same time, the user can also perform touch input through the flexible touch TP45, that is, touch directly on the surface of the cabin. The flexible touch TP45 can sense the user's touch through the first cabin 41. This invention, through the flexible touch TP45 installed inside the cabin, enables the speaker to perform additional touch input via the flexible touch TP45 located on the first cabin 41, enriching the interactive area and operation methods of the device, and improving the information carrying capacity and presentation of the speaker. At the same time, users are no longer limited to interacting with the virtual image through the control panel 6, but can also directly touch and operate the virtual image displayed on the imaging screen 8 in a more direct and intuitive way through the flexible touch TP45 on the cabin. This touch interaction method is no longer cold, rigid, and lacks human-like affinity. This interactive operation is easier to establish an emotional connection, solving the problem of insufficient emotionalization and immersion of existing traditional speakers.
