[0021] Currently, common protective measures for audio devices integrated into furniture surfaces are quite complex, requiring separate waterproofing designs for microphones and other audio components, resulting in high costs. This application provides an audio device and a furniture mount to address these technical problems.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides an audio device for use in furniture. The audio device includes a housing 10, a cover 20, a receiver module 30, a sound-emitting module 40, and a circuit board 50. The cover 20 is assembled to the housing 10.

[0023] The housing 10 includes a first receiving portion 11 and a second receiving portion 12. The second receiving portion 12 protrudes from the first receiving portion 11 toward one side, and the first receiving portion 11 extends into the mounting hole of the furniture.

[0024] The sound-generating module 40 is installed in the first receiving part 11, and the sound-receiving module 30 is installed in the second receiving part 12. The second receiving part 12 has a sound-receiving hole 121 on the side opposite to the first receiving part 11, and a breathable and waterproof component 122 is assembled in the sound-receiving hole 121.

[0025] This application integrates the microphone module 30 and the sound-emitting module 40 into the housing, and utilizes the breathable and waterproof component 122 to simultaneously waterproof both the microphone module 30 and the sound-emitting module 40, eliminating the need for separate waterproofing of each module and reducing the manufacturing cost of the audio equipment.

[0026] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of microphone modules 30 is two. The two microphone modules 30 may include a left microphone module 31 and a right microphone module 32. The left microphone module 31 and the right microphone module 32 are spaced apart along a first direction, which may be the length direction of the audio device. By setting the left microphone module 31 and the right microphone module 32, the microphone reception effect of the audio device can be improved.

[0027] In one embodiment, the radio module 30 further includes a fixing block 33. The left radio module 31 and the right radio module 32 are first fixed to the fixing block 33, and then the whole is fixed to the first receiving part 11 by screwing, so as to improve the installation efficiency of the radio module 30.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 are integrally formed. Since the first receiving portion 11 and the second receiving portion 12 are integrally formed, gaps are avoided between them, preventing moisture from entering the housing 10 through gaps and improving the waterproof effect of the audio device.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first receiving portion 11 is provided with a mis-connecting portion 112, which is located on one side of the first receiving portion 11 in the first direction. Since the mis-connecting portion 112 is provided only on one side, it prevents the left and right microphone modules 32 from being installed in reverse order, thus improving the ease of installation of the audio equipment. The first receiving portion 11 may also have fixing portions 113 on both sides perpendicular to the first direction, which are used for screwing onto the carrier plate 60.

[0030] In one embodiment, in the first direction, one end of the second receiving portion 12 is arc-shaped and the other end is square. By setting one end of the second receiving portion 12 to be arc-shaped and the other end to be square, a mis-proof effect can be achieved, preventing reverse installation. For example, the end of the second receiving portion 12 near the left microphone module 31 is square, and the end of the second receiving portion 12 near the right microphone module 32 is square. The carrying plate of the furniture can be provided with corresponding hole structures, the shape of which corresponds to the first receiving portion 11.

[0031] The first receiving portion 11 has a plug-in interface 111 on its side for electrical connection with the circuit board 50 to supply power or control the radio module 30 and the sound-emitting module 40. In one embodiment, the first receiving portion 11 has a water-blocking member 13 on its side, located between the second receiving portion 12 and the plug-in interface 111. By providing the water-blocking member 13, liquid can be prevented from entering the plug-in interface 111, thus improving the waterproof effect of the audio device.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the water-blocking member 13 includes a base 131 and a pair of guide portions 132. The base 131 protrudes from the first receiving portion 11. In a direction perpendicular to the protrusion of the base 131, the pair of guide portions 132 extend from the base 131 toward both sides. By providing the guide portions 132, water passing through the water-blocking member 13 will flow out to both sides through the guide portions 132, reducing the probability of water intrusion into the connector 111 and further improving the waterproof effect of the audio device.

[0033] In one embodiment, the water-blocking member 13 protrudes from the first receiving portion 11 and is inclined in a direction away from the plug interface 111. When liquid passes through the water-blocking member 13, it will first be guided to accumulate on the side wall of the first receiving portion 11 and then flow out to both sides, further reducing the probability of water intrusion into the plug interface 111 and thus further improving the waterproof effect of the audio device.

[0034] The second receiving portion 12 is provided with a limiting portion 123 surrounding the sound receiving hole 121, and the breathable and waterproof component 122 is disposed inside the limiting portion 123. By providing the limiting portion 123 to limit the breathable and waterproof component 122, misalignment of the breathable and waterproof component 122 can be avoided, thus ensuring the waterproof effect of the breathable and waterproof component 122.

[0035] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a second aspect of this application provides a furniture for carrying items, including a storage board 60 and the aforementioned audio equipment. The storage board 60 is provided with a mounting hole 61, a first receiving portion 11 is fixedly connected to the storage board 60, and a second receiving portion 12 extends into the mounting hole 61.

[0036] Because the cost of audio equipment is reduced, the cost of the furniture in this application is also reduced. The furniture can be a smart coffee table, a smart dining table, etc., and the specific type is not limited.

[0037] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
