DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Several embodiments of the present invention are disclosed below with reference to the drawings. For clarity, many implementation details are described together in the following description. However, it should be understood that these implementation details should not be used to limit the present invention. In other words, these implementation details are not necessary in some embodiments of the present invention. Moreover, some conventional structures and components are illustrated in a simplified schematic manner to simplify the drawings. In the following embodiments, like reference numerals are used to designate like or similar components.

[0020] See Fig. 1 to Fig. 5. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the speaker structure of the present application; Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the speaker structure of the present application; Fig. 3 is an exploded assembly view of the speaker structure of the present application; Fig. 4 is a partial perspective view of the speaker structure of the present application; and Fig. Figure 5 is a combined view of the press assembly, the connecting assembly, and the locking assembly of the present application. As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5, the present application provides a speaker structure 1 including a speaker 11 and a base 12. The speaker 11 has a mounting assembly 111. The base 12 includes an enclosure 121, a pressing assembly 122, a connecting assembly 123, and a locking assembly 124. A surface of the enclosure 121 has a receiving groove 1211. The speaker 11 is installed in the receiving groove 1211. The connecting assembly 123 and the locking assembly 124 are disposed within the enclosure 121. One end of the pressing assembly 122 extends through into the enclosure 121, and one end of the pressing assembly 122 moves together with the connecting assembly 123. The connecting assembly 123 is used to unlock the locking assembly 124. One end of the locking assembly 124 extends through the enclosure 121 into the receiving groove 1211.One end of the locking assembly 124 is connected and secured to the mounting assembly 111. One end of the pressing assembly 122 is pressed into the enclosure 121, and the pressing assembly 122 moves together with the connecting assembly 123 to unlock the locking assembly 124, thereby releasing the locking assembly 124 from the connection with the mounting assembly 111 of the speaker 11.

[0021] See Fig. 2. In this embodiment, the groove contour of the receiving groove 1211 of the base 12 corresponds to the contour of the side of the speaker 11 with the mounting assembly 111. The mounting assembly 111 has a recess 1111 and a stationary post 1112. Two ends of the stationary post 1112 are attached to the inner wall of the recess 1111. One end of the locking assembly 124 is attached to the stationary post 1112 within the recess 1111.

[0022] See Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. Fig. 6 is a partially exploded view of the press assembly, the connecting assembly and the locking assembly of the present application and Fig. 7 is a side view of it. As in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the pressing assembly 122 in this embodiment includes a pressing member 1221 and a guide post 1222, the pressing member 1221 having a pressing portion 1223 and two extension portions 1224. One end of each of the two extension portions 1224 extends from the pressing portion 1223 toward the interior of the enclosure 121. The guide post 1222 is disposed at one end of the extension portion 1224, that is, the guide post 1222 is located transversely at one end of the extension portion 1224, and both ends of the guide post 1222 are fixed to the extension portion 1224. In addition, the connecting assembly 123 includes a connecting main body 1231. The connecting main body 1231 has two pressing portions 1232. The two pressing portions 1232 extend from the connecting main body 1231 toward the positions of the two extension portions 1224 of the pressing member 1221.The pressure portion 1232 has a sliding hole 1230, wherein the sliding hole 1230 is a transverse opening corresponding to the guide post 1222. The guide post 1222 at one end of the pressing member 1221, which passes through the sliding hole 1230 of the pressing portion 1232, and the guide post 1222 of the pressing member 1221 move along the sliding hole 1230. The sliding hole 1230 of the pressing portion 1232 forms an angle C relative to the moving direction of the pressing member 1221 toward the pressing portion 1232. In other words, when the extension portion 1224 of the pressing member 1221 moves together with the guide post 1222, the guide post 1222 presses against the edge of the lower opening of the sliding hole 1230 because the guide post 1222 moves in a straight line. As a result, the pressing portion 1232 is pushed down due to the guide post 1222 pressing against the sliding hole 1230, whereby the pressing portion 1232 moves.Consequently, the pressure portion 1232 will move downward together with the connecting main body 1231.

[0023] Furthermore, the pressing assembly 122 includes a pressing elastic member 1225. The pressing elastic member 1225 is arranged between the pressing member 1221 and the surface of the casing 121, wherein a direction of the elastic force of the pressing elastic member 1225 and the moving direction of the pressing member 1221 is the first axis X. In this embodiment, when the pressing member 1221 is pressed inward toward the casing 121, the elastic force of the pressing elastic member 1225 compresses the pressing member 1221. When the pressing member 1221 is no longer subjected to external pressure, the restoring force of the pressing elastic member 1225 drives the pressing member 1221 back to its original position before being pressed.

[0024] See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9. Fig. Figure 8 is a schematic view of the locking assembly of the present application and Fig. Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of the locking assembly. See also Fig. 6, in this embodiment, the connecting main body 1231 of the connecting assembly 123 further includes a pressing member 1233. The locking assembly 124 includes a locking housing 1241, a locking unit 1242, a locking elastic member 1243, a locking pin 1244, and a locking pin elastic member 1245. The locking housing 1241 is disposed within the enclosure 121. The locking unit 1242 extends through the locking housing 1241. One end of the locking unit 1242 extends through the enclosure 121 into the receiving groove 1211, and one end of the locking unit 1242 is connected to the mounting assembly 111 attached to the speaker 11. One end of the locking elastic member 1243 is connected to the locking housing 1241. Another end of the locking elastic member 1243 is connected to another end of the locking unit 124.One end of the locking pin 1244 extends through the locking housing 1241, and one end of the locking pin 1244 is engaged with one side of the locking unit 1242. One end of the locking pin elastic member 1245 is connected to the locking housing 1241. Another end of the locking pin elastic member 1245 is connected to another side of the locking pin 1244. The locking pin elastic member 1245 urges the locking pin 1244 to abut one side of the locking unit 1242. The pressing member 1233 of the connecting main body 1231 corresponds to another end of the locking pin 1244 of the locking assembly 124, and the pressing member 1233 moves together with another end of the locking pin 1244.The connection between the pressure element 1233 and the locking pin 1244 can be achieved by structural interlocking, adhesive bonding, or other mounting methods, which can be adapted according to the user's requirements, but are not limited to these methods.

[0025] See Fig. 7: When the pressing member 1221 urges the connecting main body 1231 to move downward, the pressing member 1233 presses downward on the other end of the locking pin 1244. This causes one end of the locking pin 1244 to move away from one side of the locking unit 1242, thereby releasing the locking pin 1244 from the side of the locking unit 1242. Consequently, the locking elastic member 1243 urges the locking unit 1242 to move, thereby releasing the end of the locking unit 1242 from its connection and attachment to the assembly 111 of the speaker 11. The direction of the elastic force of the locking elastic member 1243 and the movement direction of the locking unit 1242 are the first axis X.

[0026] As described above, the locking housing 1241 includes a locking pin channel 1240 and a fixed through-hole 12401. The fixed through-hole 12401 is located on the surface of the locking housing 1241, and the fixed through-hole 12401 communicates with the locking pin channel 1240. The locking unit 1242 further includes a movable member 12421. One side of the movable member 12421 has a fixed notch 12428. The fixed through-hole 12401 is located on the movement path of the fixed notch 12428 of the movable member 12421. One end of the locking pin 1244 passes through the fixed through-hole 12401. One end of the locking pin 1244 is embedded within the fixed notch 12428 to allow one end of the locking pin 1244 to engage with one side of the locking unit 1242.

[0027] In addition, the connecting main body 1231 of the connecting assembly 123 further includes an elastic fastening portion 1234. The connecting assembly 123 further includes a connecting elastic portion 1235. One end of the connecting elastic portion 1235 is connected to the elastic fastening portion 1234, and another end of the connecting elastic portion 1235 is connected to the inner part of the casing 121, see Fig. 4. The direction of the elastic force of the connecting elastic portion 1235 and the direction in which the pressing member 1233 of the connecting main body 1231 presses the locking pin 131 downward is the second axis Y. In this embodiment, when the pressing member 1221 drives the connecting main body 1231 to move downward, the elastic fixing portion 1234 of the connecting main body 1231 extends the elastic force of the connecting elastic portion 1235. When the connecting main body 1231 is no longer pressed downward by an external force, the elastic restoring force of the connecting elastic portion 1235 drives the connecting main body 1231 back to its original position. In addition, the direction of the elastic force of the locking pin elastic element 1245 of the locking assembly 124 and the movement direction of the locking pin 1244 is the second axis Y, see Fig. 9. In this embodiment, when the pressure member 1233 moves the locking pin 1244 downward, the locking pin 1244 extends the elastic force of the locking pin elastic member 1245. When the locking pin 1244 is no longer pressed downward by an external force, the elastic restoring force of the locking pin elastic member 1245 drives the locking pin 1244 back to its original position.

[0028] See Fig. 7, in this embodiment, the direction of the elastic force of the pressing elastic member 1225 and the pressing direction of the pressing member 1221 is the first axis X. The direction of the elastic force of the connecting elastic portion 1235 and the moving direction of the elastic fixing portion 1234 of the connecting main body 1231 is the second axis Y. The direction of the elastic force of the locking pin elastic member 1245 and the moving direction of the locking pin 1244 is the second axis Y. The direction of the elastic force of the locking elastic member 1243 and the moving direction of the locking unit 1242 is the first axis X, wherein the first axis X and the second axis Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0029] In this embodiment, see Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the locking assembly 124 further includes a first guide member 1246. The locking housing 1241 includes a locking pin channel 1240. The first guide member 1246 extends through the locking housing 1241, and the first guide member 1246 is disposed within the locking pin channel 1240. The locking unit 1242 further includes a movable member 12421 and a hook member 12422. The hook member 12422 is rotatably disposed at one end of the movable member 12421. The first guide element 1246 is located on the movement path of the first side 12423 of the hook element 12422. When the movable element 12421 moves together with the hook element 12422, the first guide element 1246 moves along the contour of the first side 12423 of the hook element 12422, causing the hook element 12422 to rotate relative to the movable element 12421.

[0030] As described above, one end of the movable member 12421 has a first recess 12424, and one end of the hook member 12422 has a second recess 12425 relative to the first recess 12424. The second recess 12425 rotates relative to the first recess 12424 to close or open. The first side 12423 of the hook member 12422 has a curved edge 12423A and a first recess edge 12423B. The first recess edge 12423B and the curved edge 12423A are connected and extended side edges. When the curved edge 12423A of the hook member 12422 abuts the first guide member 1246, the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425 are relatively closed; when the first recess edge 12423B of the hook element 12422 abuts the first guide element 1246, the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425 are relatively open.

[0031] Furthermore, the locking assembly 124 includes a second guide member 1247. The second guide member 1247 extends through the locking housing 1241. The second guide member 1247 is disposed within the locking pin channel 1240. The locking unit 1242 further includes a movable member 12421 and a hook member 12422. The hook member 12422 is rotatably disposed at one end of the movable member 12421. The movable member 12421 further includes a movable hole 12426, and the second guide member 1247 is disposed within the movable hole 12426. The second guide member 1247 is located on the movement path of the second side 12427 of the hook member 12422.When the movable member 12421 moves together with the hook member 12422, the second guide member 1247 moves along the contour of the second side 12427 of the hook member 12422, causing the hook member 12422 to rotate relative to the movable member 12421.

[0032] As described above, the second side 12427 of the hook element 12422 has an inclined edge 12427A and a second recessed edge 12427B. The second recessed edge 12427B and the inclined edge 12427A are connected and extended side edges. When the second recessed edge 12427B of the hook element 12422 abuts the second guide element 1247, the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425 are relatively closed; when the inclined edge 12427A of the hook element 12422 abuts the second guide element 1247, the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425 are relatively open.

[0033] In addition, the locking housing 1241 has an opening 12410 at one end of the housing adjacent to the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425, see Fig. 4, wherein the opening 12410 corresponds to the stationary post 1112 of the mounting assembly 111 of the loudspeaker 11. When the stationary post 1112 is locked within the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425, the stationary post 1112 is also fixed within the opening 12410 as an additional fastening structure. Furthermore, the locking assembly 124 further includes a position limiting member 1248. The position limiting member 1248 is arranged on the locking housing 1241. The position limiting member 1248 is located in the locking pin channel 1240. The locking unit 1242 further includes a movable member 12421, and the movable member 12421 further has a position limiting hole 12420.The position limiting member 1248 is located within the position limiting hole 12420, thereby restricting the movement of the position limiting hole 12420 of the movable member 12421, which cannot move beyond the position set by the position limiting member 1248.

[0034] See Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. Fig. 10 is a schematic view of the combination of locking assembly and speaker and Fig. Figure 11 is another schematic view of the combination of locking assembly and speaker. As shown in Fig. 10 and Fig.As shown in Figure 11, in this embodiment, the mounting assembly 111 of the speaker 11 is connected to the locking assembly 124 so that the speaker 11 can be installed on the base 12. To release the connection between the locking assembly 124 and the speaker 11, the pressing member 1233 pulls the locking pin 1244 downward, and one end of the locking pin 1244 is moved away from one side of the locking unit 1242. Consequently, the locking pin 1244 does not engage the fixed notch 12428 of the locking unit 1242.The elastic restoring force of the locking elastic member 1243 drives the locking unit 1242 to move, and one end of the locking unit 1242 moves toward the speaker 11, causing the first recess 12424 of the movable member 12421 at one end of the locking unit 1242 and the second recess 12425 of the hook member 12422 to rotate relative to each other. Thus, the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425 are relatively open, allowing the stationary post 1112 of the mounting assembly 111 of the speaker 11 to detach from the locking assembly 124, thereby releasing the connection between the speaker 11 and the base 12.

[0035] Conversely, to attach the speaker 11 to the base 12, the speaker mounting assembly 111 is aligned with the locking assembly 124 of the base 12, and then the speaker mounting assembly 111 is pressed into the locking assembly 124. Then, the locking unit 1242 of the locking assembly 124 compresses the locking elastic member 1243, thereby realigning the fixed notch 12428 of the locking unit 1242 with the fixed through-hole 12401 of the locking housing 1241. The elastic restoring force of the locking pin elastic member 1245 drives the locking pin 1244 to be embedded within the fixed notch 12428, thereby engaging the locking pin 1244 with the locking unit 1242.At the same time, the first recess 12424 of the movable member 12421 at one end of the locking unit 1242 and the second recess 12425 of the hook member 12422 rotate relative to each other, thereby relatively closing the first recess 12424 and the second recess 12425. This allows the stationary post 1112 of the mounting assembly 111 of the speaker 11 to be secured within the locking assembly 124, thereby securing the connection between the speaker 11 and the base 12.

[0036] In summary, the present application provides a speaker structure comprising a speaker and a base. The speaker is locked to the base. The base fixes or unlocks the speaker through the mutual connection of a press assembly, a connecting assembly, and a locking assembly. The locking assembly of the base is used to fix the speaker. The press assembly is used to move together with the connecting assembly, and then the connecting assembly unlocks the speaker fixed by the locking assembly. This configuration allows the speaker to be easily and quickly removed from the base. In automotive applications, the base of the speaker structure can be embedded and installed at a suitable location within the vehicle body.For example, it can be permanently installed on the flat area of ​​the vehicle dashboard, embedded in the vehicle seat, or positioned in the central control area of ​​the vehicle.
