Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive technology and relates to a microphone mounting structure and an automotive roof. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive technology, mounting microphones on the headliner has become a very common practice. Currently, the structure for mounting microphones on the headliner generally includes a mask, a mounting ring, the headliner itself, and a connector. In the above solution, when installing the microphone, the mask covers the lower edge of the mounting holes in the headliner fabric from below, forming a basic support surface and ensuring the microphone opening is aligned with the headliner. The mounting ring is arranged around the edge of the mounting holes on the upper side of the headliner substrate, forming an upper and lower clamping structure through a fixed connection with the headliner. This design clamps the headliner between the mask and the mounting ring, and the connector passes through the mounting holes in the ring and the mask tube post to connect the mask to the mounting ring. Because it requires two mounting components—the mask and the mounting ring—and the headliner needs to have mounting holes, this not only increases the difficulty of automotive assembly processes but also adds intermediate steps, extends the working time, and increases production costs. Furthermore, the mask is an exposed component, usually made of plastic, which clashes with the fabric of the headliner, resulting in an jarring appearance and affecting the overall aesthetics of the interior. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and provide a microphone mounting structure and a car roof. This utility model saves on the production process and time of the roof.

[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] One of the technical solutions of this utility model is to provide a microphone mounting structure, which includes a fixed bracket arranged on the ceiling and fixedly connected to the ceiling. A pickup hole is provided on the ceiling, and a microphone is inserted into the fixed bracket. The microphone is aligned with the pickup hole. By setting the pickup hole, the microphone can easily pick up sound. At the same time, since only the pickup hole needs to be opened on the ceiling, there is no need to open mounting holes for the microphone and other mounting components, which saves the process and production time in the ceiling production process.

[0006] Furthermore, the ceiling includes a layered ceiling substrate and a ceiling fabric.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixed bracket is arranged on the ceiling substrate, the ceiling substrate is provided with substrate sound pickup holes, and the ceiling fabric is provided with fabric sound pickup holes.

[0008] Furthermore, an installation marking frame is provided on the ceiling substrate, which serves as a marker for the installation position of the fixed bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing frame is provided on the fixing bracket, and a microphone is inserted into the fixing frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed frame has snap-fit ​​holes, and the microphone is equipped with a snap fastener. By cooperating with the snap-fit ​​holes and the snap fastener, the microphone is fixed in the fixed frame, constraining and limiting the microphone. The microphone can be assembled without a microphone cover, preventing vibration, displacement and abnormal noise during vehicle operation, which would affect the driving experience.

[0011] Furthermore, the microphone is provided with buckles on both sides of its lower part, the fixed frame houses the lower part of the microphone, and the upper part of the microphone exposes the fixed bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed bracket has bracket fixing holes, through which bolts pass to secure the fixed bracket to the ceiling, or

[0013] The fixing bracket is adhered to the ceiling.

[0014] Both methods ensure that there will be no relative wobbling between the fixed bracket and the ceiling after assembly.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the bracket fixing hole is a countersunk hole to achieve a flush surface.

[0016] One of the technical solutions of this utility model is to provide a car roof, which includes a roof base material and a roof fabric. The structure is arranged on the roof base material. The roof fabric serves as the front to expose the sound pickup hole, and the roof base material serves as the back to expose the microphone. The car body sheet metal covers and conceals the microphone, avoiding unnecessary mounting parts and openings, and making the interior aesthetically pleasing overall.

[0017] Furthermore, the microphones and mounting brackets are arranged in four sets, two in each pair on both sides of the vehicle body. Specifically, the two sets on each side are located next to the second row of door handles on the roof and next to the third row of air vents on the roof, respectively.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) This utility model uses a fixed bracket design to fix the microphone on the bracket by snap-fit, which reduces the dependence on the face mask, simplifies the assembly process, and saves production costs.

[0020] (2) In this utility model, a microphone hole is opened in the ceiling to replace the mask. This hidden microphone hole design reduces the visual abruptness.

[0021] (3) This utility model only requires one step of opening the sound pickup hole, which saves the process and production time in the ceiling production process;

[0022] (4) The microphone mounting structure in this utility model has several openings. The microphone mounting structure provides a fastening position for the microphone mounting structure. The microphone mounting structure is fixed to the front end module of the vehicle body by fasteners, thereby forming the stability of the microphone mounting structure itself.
