Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home audio-visual systems, and more specifically, to a wall-mounted speaker. Background Technology

[0002] In the home audio-visual system field, wall-mounted speakers, as a space optimization solution, traditionally employ a square cabinet design in pursuit of acoustic performance, with surface treatments primarily consisting of metal mesh covers or plastic. This clashes sharply with the minimalist and natural style advocated by modern homes. Most products only have audio playback functions and do not interact with the home environment, failing to automatically adjust sound effects based on content or integrate with smart lighting systems to create a contextualized experience.

[0003] In the contemporary home decoration industry, consumers are increasingly demanding living environments that integrate personalization, artistry, and functionality, and traditional decorative elements can no longer meet diverse aesthetic needs. Among these, murals, as a core category of wall decoration, exhibit significant limitations in their development history and current market situation.

[0004] For example, two-dimensional paintings, such as oil paintings and watercolors, while creating atmosphere through color and composition, are limited by their two-dimensional presentation, resulting in a lack of visual depth and a sense of spatial interaction. Three-dimensional works, achieved through techniques like relief carving and 3D printing, are prone to dust accumulation and difficult to clean over time. Lighting-assisted murals, such as those integrating LED light strips, can enhance atmosphere through light and shadow variations, but the lighting design is often superficial and lacks deep integration with the artwork. All of these products have entered a highly mature market stage, leading to fierce competition and a continuous decline in consumer interest in mural decorations.

[0005] In conclusion, current interior design and decoration lacks solutions that can both address the aesthetic shortcomings of traditional audio equipment and offer consumers innovative wall decoration options. While the use of traditional murals in home decoration has declined due to severe homogenization, consumer demand for wall decoration has not disappeared; instead, it has shifted towards more personalized and interactive solutions. To enhance market appeal, the product's structure should be simple and stable to reduce costs and improve competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and provide a wall-mounted speaker to solve the problems of traditional speakers having aesthetic defects, monotonous visual effects, low space utilization and lack of scene-based interactive experience.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is a wall-mounted speaker, including a housing, a speaker assembly, a front lighting mechanism, and a control circuit board. The speaker assembly, the front lighting mechanism, and the control circuit board are installed inside the housing. The housing includes a back shell and a front panel. The front lighting mechanism faces the front panel to achieve a front lighting effect. It also includes a rear lighting mechanism. The back shell has a backlight hole. The rear lighting mechanism faces the back shell and achieves backlight illumination around and / or on the back of the housing through the backlight hole. The speaker assembly, the front lighting mechanism, and the rear lighting mechanism are electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0008] In this design, the audio assembly, front lighting mechanism, and control circuit board are housed within the casing, resulting in a compact structure that optimizes traditional audio installation and improves space utilization. The front lighting mechanism faces the panel and is used to provide multi-layered dynamic lighting effects in conjunction with personalized patterns, diversifying visual layers and adapting to different personalized scenarios. The light emitted by the rear lighting mechanism can pass through backlight holes on the back cover, creating a backlighting effect on the back and / or surrounding area of ​​the casing, enhancing visual appeal, improving the ambient atmosphere, and enhancing the interactive experience. The control circuit board can receive user-issued command signals to drive the audio assembly, front lighting mechanism, and rear lighting mechanism. Its high integration enables unified control of audio playback, lighting effect switching, and brightness adjustment, providing convenient and quick operation.

[0009] Furthermore, the back cover is provided with a boss protruding towards the back side, and the backlight holes are at least distributed on the side of the boss. The backlight mechanism is disposed in the boss within the housing, and the light-emitting surface is at least facing the side of the boss.

[0010] The protrusion provides installation space for the rear-side lighting mechanism. The backlight holes are distributed at least on the side of the protrusion, guiding the direction of light emitted from the rear-side lighting mechanism, preventing the light from being blocked when shining directly, expanding the light emission space, and effectively utilizing the space to allow light to surround the back and / or surroundings of the housing, enhancing ambient light and creating a sense of spatial interaction.

[0011] Furthermore, the backlight hole includes a plurality of first holes, which are strip-shaped and extend from the side of the boss to the top surface of the boss.

[0012] The first hole is strip-shaped and extends from the side of the boss to the top surface of the boss. It is used to form a beam of light radiating outward from the center and a continuous light band effect on the back and / or around the housing, thereby expanding the light coverage and enhancing the visual effect.

[0013] Furthermore, the backlight hole also includes a plurality of second holes, which are strip-shaped or dot-shaped and are distributed alternately with the first holes on the top surface of the boss.

[0014] The second hole is in the form of a strip or dot, used to form light spots or light patterns, enhancing the expressiveness of light and enriching the lighting effects. The second hole and the first hole are distributed alternately on the top surface of the boss, used to combine and superimpose the light formed by the first hole to create unique lighting effects suitable for different music scenes.

[0015] Furthermore, the backlight hole also includes multiple third holes. The boss is frustum-shaped, and the multiple third holes are radially or centrally symmetrically distributed in the middle of the top surface of the boss. The second hole and the first hole are radially distributed from the inside out.

[0016] The third hole is radially or centrally symmetrically distributed on the top surface of the boss, used to create a starlight-like radiation and / or concentric circle diffusion light effect. The overall hole position distribution of the third hole is that the second hole and the first hole are radially distributed from the inside out, so that the lighting effect is combined and superimposed with the first and second holes. Users can personalize the adjustment according to the music style, meet diverse aesthetic demands, and immerse themselves in the atmosphere where music, light and scene are deeply integrated.

[0017] Furthermore, the back cover is provided with a protruding connection port facing the back side. The connection port is wedge-shaped and extends from the protrusion at the edge of the back cover at an angle from high to low. The side near the edge of the back cover is a plug-in panel, and the electrical plug-in interface and / or control button provided on the plug-in panel are electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0018] The connection port protrudes in a wedge shape towards the back, extending sloping downwards from the edge of the back shell to ensure sufficient space and prevent obstruction of light emitted from the backlight hole or uneven light distribution, allowing for a full display of the lighting effects. The plug-in panel is located on one side near the edge of the back shell, i.e., the side with the higher wedge shape. This optimizes the interface design, providing sufficient and evenly distributed space for electrical connectors and / or control buttons, preventing cables from tangling and facilitating cable insertion and removal, while maintaining the integrity of the back of the shell and enhancing overall strength and structural stability.

[0019] Furthermore, the back shell is provided with a suspension bracket and a support bracket protruding towards the back side. The height of the suspension bracket and the support bracket protruding is approximately the same and not lower than the boss. The suspension bracket is located above the boss, and the support bracket is located below the boss.

[0020] The hanging bracket is a fixed component for attaching to the wall, and the support bracket provides support points to maintain a reasonable distance between the speaker and the wall. When the speaker is suspended, the hanging bracket and the support bracket both contact the wall, providing stable multi-point support and ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure. The protruding heights of the hanging bracket and the support bracket are approximately the same and not lower than the protrusion, avoiding the problem of blurred music and poor playback effect caused by the speaker being too close to the wall, and ensuring that the light emitted from the backlight hole can fully illuminate the speaker, forming a complete light pattern and effect.

[0021] Furthermore, the audio assembly includes a loudspeaker and a resonance cavity. The loudspeaker is mounted on the resonance cavity, and an echo hole is provided on the back cover. The echo hole extends into the resonance cavity through an echo tube.

[0022] The audio assembly improves sound quality, creating a clear, bright, and three-dimensional sound effect, enhancing the penetration of music, and improving the user experience. The sound is emitted by the speaker, amplified and timbre adjusted by the resonance chamber, and finally propagated through the echo tube to the echo port for emission. The speaker converts electrical signals into sound waves, amplifying the music's sound effect. The resonance chamber amplifies the sound waves through resonance, enhancing and adjusting the sound output. The echo port extends into the resonance chamber through the echo tube, improving bass response, enhancing the overall sound effect, and making the sound fuller, more three-dimensional, and more layered.

[0023] Furthermore, the panel includes a pattern layer and a light-shielding layer. The pattern layer is disposed outside the light-shielding layer. The light-shielding layer is made of an opaque or semi-transparent material. Multiple light-transmitting holes are formed on the light-shielding layer according to the pattern portion of the pattern layer.

[0024] Light emitted from the front lighting mechanism passes sequentially through a light-shielding layer, light-transmitting holes, and a pattern layer, creating unique patterns and lighting effects. The pattern layer allows users to customize images to meet individual needs, integrating images, lighting, and music to form multi-layered scene interaction, adapting to diverse scenarios. The light-shielding layer, made of opaque or semi-transparent material, shields structural components behind it, ensuring the pattern layer's aesthetic appeal. The light-transmitting holes can be selectively created based on the pattern. When light from the front lighting mechanism passes through these holes, the desired unique light and shadow effects are displayed on the panel, allowing light and pattern to complement each other, satisfying personalized needs, enhancing the spatial expressiveness of the pattern, and improving the user experience.

[0025] Furthermore, the housing is generally flat, and the front lighting mechanism includes multiple radially distributed lighting units or one or more linear lighting units and a drive motor, wherein the drive motor drives the linear lighting units to rotate.

[0026] The housing is flat to save space and accommodate wall mounting. The front lighting mechanism offers two options: one is multiple radially distributed independent lighting units, creating a continuous lighting effect at desired locations, giving the pattern a three-dimensional feel and enhancing overall aesthetics; the other is one or more linear lighting units and a drive motor. The linear lighting units include, but are not limited to, light strips and LED bars. The drive motor rotates the linear lighting units, creating dynamically changing linear light and shadow effects on the panel, enhancing ambiance and interacting with the surrounding environment.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This technical solution achieves multi-directional lighting and multi-dimensional light effects by setting up rear and front lighting mechanisms, creating a three-dimensional, immersive light and shadow atmosphere and enhancing the product's visual appeal and environmental ambiance. Utilizing the rear shell protrusion structure and specifically distributed backlight holes, it achieves unique and diverse lighting effects from the back and sides of the speaker, satisfying diverse aesthetic needs and providing a sense of spatial interaction. The optimized speaker structural design, with its protrusion structure and backlight holes, provides reasonable installation space and light guidance for the rear lighting mechanism. The wedge-shaped connection port facilitates cable insertion and removal and operation of interfaces and buttons after wall mounting. The coordinated design of the hanging bracket and support frame improves the stability and reliability of wall mounting. The panel offers rich and customizable light effects; the combination of patterned layers and light-shielding layers with light-transmitting holes, along with different light-shielding layer and light-transmitting hole designs, allows for personalized and diverse patterned light effects through the front lighting mechanism, satisfying users' pursuit of individuality. It also boasts high space utilization. The flat shell design saves space, and the compact internal layout integrates audio, dual lighting systems, and control circuits. It has a high degree of functional integration. The audio assembly adopts a combination design of loudspeakers and resonance chambers. Through the setting of echo holes and echo tubes, the sound is clearer, fuller, and more layered. It combines high-quality audio playback with innovative lighting effects, integrating images, lights, and music to form a multi-layered scene interaction, adapting to diverse scenarios and meeting the user's dual needs for hearing and vision.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. To better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0034] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment is a wall-mounted speaker, including a housing 100, a speaker assembly 300, a rear lighting mechanism 200, a front lighting mechanism 400, and a control circuit board 500.

[0035] The outer shell 100 is assembled from the back shell 110 and the panel 120, and the whole is in the shape of a flat cylinder or other shape suitable for wall mounting, which saves space and has a compact structure.

[0036] Panel 120 includes a pattern layer and a light-shielding layer arranged from the outside in. The pattern layer is located on the outside of the light-shielding layer and can be a translucent or semi-translucent film, board, or textured material with a pattern. The pattern can be customized according to user needs. The light-shielding layer uses opaque or semi-translucent materials, such as dark plastic sheets or metal sheets, to shield structural components located behind the light-shielding layer. According to the lighting effects displayed on the panel as required by the user, multiple light-transmitting holes are precisely opened in the light-shielding layer. Light from the front lighting mechanism 400 passes through the light-transmitting holes, through the pattern layer, and displays unique patterns and lighting effects on the front of panel 120, meeting personalized needs, enhancing the spatial expressiveness of the pattern, and improving the user experience.

[0037] The back cover 110 is made of plastic or metal and has a boss 140, a connection port 150, a hanging bracket 160 and a support bracket 170.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, a boss 140 protruding towards the back side is provided in the middle of the back side of the back shell 110. The shape of the boss 140 can be rectangular, circular, or other geometric shapes. In this embodiment, the boss 140 is approximately frustum-shaped, providing installation space for the back-side lighting mechanism 200. Multiple backlight holes 130 are provided on the boss 140 to guide the direction of light emitted from the back-side lighting mechanism 200, enabling light to surround the back side and / or surroundings of the shell, enhancing ambient light. The backlight holes 130 are at least distributed on the side surface 141 of the boss 140, including multiple first holes 131, second holes 132, and third holes 133. The multiple first holes 131 are strip-shaped, extending from the side surface 141 of the boss 140 to the top surface 142, forming a beam of light radiating outward from the center and a continuous light band effect. The multiple second holes 132 are strip-shaped or dot-shaped, distributed alternately with the first holes 131 on the top surface 142 of the boss 140, forming light spots or light patterns, improving light performance. Multiple third holes 133 are radially or centrally symmetrically distributed on the top surface 142 of the boss 140. Second holes 132 and first holes 131 are radially distributed from the inside out, forming a light effect similar to starlight radiation and / or concentric circle diffusion. After passing through multiple first holes 131, second holes 132 and third holes 133, the light combines and superimposes to form diverse lighting effects, satisfying diverse aesthetic demands and creating a sense of spatial interaction.

[0039] The back cover 110 also has a connection port 150 protruding towards the back side. The connection port 150 is wedge-shaped and extends from the edge of the back cover 110 towards the boss 140 at a low angle to avoid blocking the light emitted from the backlight hole. A plug-in panel 151 is provided on the higher side of the connection port 150. The plug-in panel 151 is provided with electrical plug-in interfaces and / or control buttons, and is electrically connected to the control circuit board 500 through internal cables, so that even after the speaker is wall-mounted, the user can still easily perform plug-in and unplugging operations and controls from the side.

[0040] The back cover 110 also features a hanging bracket 160 and a support bracket 170 protruding towards the back. The hanging bracket 160 is located above the boss 140, and the support bracket 170 is located below the boss 140. The protruding heights of the hanging bracket 160 and the support bracket 170 are approximately the same as and not lower than the boss 140, preventing the speaker from being too close to the wall and affecting lighting and sound quality. During installation, the speaker is fixed to a wall fixture using the mounting holes or brackets on the hanging bracket 160, while the support bracket 170 provides bottom support, together forming a stable support structure. In this embodiment, the hanging bracket 160 and the support bracket 170 are respectively fixed to three connection points on the back cover 110. The end face of the hanging bracket 160 has mounting holes for easy insertion of wall-mounted screws, forming a stable three-point support structure with the hanging bracket 160, enhancing overall strength and structural stability.

[0041] The rear-side lighting mechanism 200 is located within the space enclosed by the boss 140, with its light-emitting surface facing the back cover 110. The light emitted by the rear-side lighting mechanism 200 is emitted through the backlight hole 130. When the speaker wall mount is installed, the light emitted from the side 141 can achieve the lighting effect around the back cover 110; the light emitted from the top surface 142 can form decorative light spots or light patterns, creating a multi-layered lighting effect and improving the ambient atmosphere.

[0042] The housing 100 contains a front lighting mechanism 400, an audio assembly 300, and a control circuit board 500.

[0043] The front lighting mechanism 400 is located behind the panel 120, and the light it emits is directed towards the panel 120. The front lighting mechanism 400 includes multiple radially distributed lighting units or one or more linear lighting units and a drive motor. Multiple independent lighting units are radially distributed, creating a continuous lighting effect on the pattern at the desired location, giving the pattern a three-dimensional feel and improving the overall aesthetics. The linear lighting units include, but are not limited to, LED light strips and light guides. The drive motor is electrically connected to the control circuit board 500. The linear lighting units are driven by the drive motor and can rotate around an axis (such as an axis perpendicular to the panel). After the light passes through the light-transmitting holes on the panel 120, it forms dynamically changing light and shadow lines or patterns on the panel, such as rotating halos or scanning light rays, enhancing the dynamic visual effect of the front lighting.

[0044] The audio assembly 300 includes a speaker and a resonance chamber. A sound hole is provided on the back cover 110, extending into the resonance chamber via a sound tube. Sound emitted by the speaker is amplified and enhanced in the resonance chamber, then propagated through the sound tube to the sound hole, improving bass response and enhancing the overall sound quality, making the sound fuller, more three-dimensional, and more layered.

[0045] The control circuit board 500 is electrically connected to the audio assembly 300, front lighting mechanism 400, rear lighting mechanism 200, and plug-in panel via internal cables. It is responsible for receiving user commands via buttons or remote control / APP, processing audio signals, driving the audio assembly 300, and controlling the on / off state, brightness, color, and dynamic modes of the front lighting mechanism 400 and rear lighting mechanism 200. The control circuit board 500 can integrate a Bluetooth or WiFi module for wireless connectivity.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: The user mounts the speaker on the wall using the hanging bracket 160 and support frame 170, and connects the necessary equipment cables and power cords through the plug-in panel on the connection port 150. The user issues commands via buttons, remote control, or wireless connection. The control circuit board 500, located inside the housing 100, receives the command signals and drives the speaker assembly 300, the front lighting mechanism 400, and the rear lighting mechanism 200. The audio signal input to the control circuit board 500 is processed and drives the speakers of the speaker assembly 300 to produce sound. The resonance chamber and echo hole 310 help improve the tone. The light emitted from the front lighting mechanism 400 passes through the light-transmitting holes 123 on the light-shielding layer of the panel 120, and through the pattern layer, displaying static or dynamic patterns and lighting effects on the front of the speaker. The light emitted from the rear-side lighting mechanism 200 exits through the backlight hole 130 of the boss 140. After passing through multiple first holes 131, second holes 132, and third holes 133 of the backlight hole 130, it forms specific decorative light spots, light patterns, and / or halos on the back and / or around the speaker. The combination of the front-side lighting mechanism 400 and the rear-side lighting mechanism 200 can create a three-dimensional, immersive light and shadow environment. Users can control the brightness, color, and dynamic effects of the lights according to different scenes and needs, creating different lighting atmospheres and forming multi-layered scene interaction to meet the user's dual auditory and visual needs.
