For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections, electrical connections, or communication; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure based on specific circumstances.

[0032] The lifting device 10 , the speaker assembly 100 and the vehicle according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] 1 and 2 , the lifting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a shell 1, a lifting bracket 2 and a drive assembly 3. The lifting bracket 2 can be installed on the shell 1 in a liftable manner. The lifting bracket 2 has a mounting position 221 for installing a speaker 20. That is, the mounting position 221 can be used to install the speaker 20. By controlling the lifting and lowering of the lifting bracket 2, the lifting and lowering of the speaker 20 can be achieved, thereby changing the playback effect of the speaker 20.

[0034] The drive assembly 3 is installed on the shell 1. The drive assembly 3 includes a drive part 31, a first transmission part 32 and a second transmission part 33. The drive part 31, the first transmission part 32, the second transmission part 33 and the lifting bracket 2 are connected in sequence. The drive part 31 drives the second transmission part 33 to move through the first transmission part 32, so that the second transmission part 33 drives the lifting bracket 2 to rise and fall relative to the shell 1.

[0035] The second transmission part 33 has a transmission state and a protection state. When the load on the second transmission part 33 is less than or equal to a preset threshold, the second transmission part 33 is in the transmission state, and the second transmission part 33 moves synchronously with the first transmission part 32 to achieve the lifting function of the lifting bracket 2. When the load on the second transmission part 33 is greater than the preset threshold, the second transmission part 33 is in the protection state, and the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 can slide relative to each other to achieve the overload protection function of the drive assembly 3.

[0036] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, when the lifting device 10 is in normal use, the load on the second transmission part 33 is less than or equal to a preset threshold, and the second transmission part 33 is in a transmission state. At this time, the driving part 31 drives the second transmission part 33 to move synchronously through the first transmission part 32, and the second transmission part 33 drives the lifting bracket 2 to rise and fall relative to the shell 1 to realize the lifting function of the lifting bracket 2.

[0037] After the lifting bracket 2 is raised or during the lifting process, if the lifting bracket 2 is subjected to a downward external force (for example, the lifting bracket 2 is pressed by an object or pressed by a person, etc.), causing the load transmitted to the second transmission part 33 by the lifting bracket 2 to be greater than a preset threshold, the second transmission part 33 is in a protection state. At this time, the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 can slide relative to each other, that is, the movement of the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 are not synchronized, and the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 can move relatively independently. The transmission between the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 slips, so that the lifting bracket 2 can be lowered by the external force, and the slip between the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 can avoid damage to the drive assembly 3 and the lifting bracket 2, thereby realizing the overload protection function of the drive assembly 3.

[0038] According to the lifting device 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving part 31 can drive the second transmission part 33 to move through the first transmission part 32, so that the second transmission part 33 drives the lifting bracket 2 to rise and fall relative to the shell 1, thereby realizing the lifting function of the speaker 20. At the same time, when the load of the second transmission part 33 is greater than a preset threshold, the second transmission part 33 is in a protection state, and the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 can slide relative to each other to realize the overload protection function of the driving component 3, thereby avoiding damage to the lifting device 10, and thus helping to improve the reliability and service life of the lifting device 10.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 7, the first transmission portion 32 includes a first transmission shaft 321, and the second transmission portion 33 includes a second transmission shaft 331. The first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331 are both rotatably mounted on the housing 1. The housing 1 can support the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331 in the axial and radial directions. The first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331 are coaxially arranged. In the axial direction of the second transmission shaft 331, the first transmission shaft 321 is away from the second transmission shaft 331. One end is connected to the driving part 31 for transmission. The end surface of the first transmission shaft 321 close to the second transmission shaft 331 is provided with a first bevel tooth 3211, and the end surface of the second transmission shaft 331 close to the first transmission shaft 321 is provided with a second bevel tooth 3311. In the transmission state, the first bevel tooth 3211 is engaged with the second bevel tooth 3311 to realize the synchronous rotation of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331. In the protection state, the first bevel tooth 3211 and the second bevel tooth 3311 can slide relative to each other to realize the overload protection function of the driving component 3.

[0040] Specifically, referring to Figures 1, 6, 7 and 10, a first mounting hole 131 and a second mounting hole that are connected can be opened in the shell 1, the first transmission shaft 321 can be rotatably passed through the first mounting hole 131, and the second transmission shaft 331 can be rotatably passed through the second mounting hole. The first mounting hole 131 and the second mounting hole can be coated with grease to reduce the friction resistance of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331 during rotation.

[0041] 5 and 6 , the driving unit 31 includes a motor 311 and a reduction gear set 312 that are transmission-connected. The input gear of the reduction gear set 312 is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the motor 311. The output gear of the reduction gear set 312 has an internal spline. The end of the first transmission shaft 321 away from the second transmission shaft 331 has an external spline 3212. The external spline 3212 is meshed with the internal spline for transmission. The reduction gear set 312 can decelerate and torque the power output by the motor 311 and then transmit it to the first transmission shaft 321.

[0042] 1 to 4, 6 and 7, the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331 are coaxially arranged to reduce the size of the drive assembly 3 in the radial direction of the second transmission shaft 331 and improve the space utilization of the drive assembly 3. The end surfaces opposite to each other of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331 are respectively provided with a first helical tooth 3211 and a second helical tooth 3311, and it is convenient to realize the synchronous transmission and overload protection of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331. At the same time, the first helical tooth 3211 is provided with a first helical tooth 3211 and a second helical tooth 3311. When the first and second bevel teeth 3311 slip, the first and second bevel teeth 3211, 3311 are less likely to break or be damaged. In the transmission state, the first bevel teeth 3211 mesh with the second bevel teeth 3311 to achieve synchronous rotation of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331. In the protection state, the torque transmitted between the first and second bevel teeth 3211 exceeds the design upper limit, and the first and second bevel teeth 3211, 3311 can slide relative to each other to achieve the overload protection function of the drive assembly 3. Specifically, the opposing end surfaces of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331 can be respectively provided with a plurality of first bevel teeth 3211 and a plurality of second bevel teeth 3311 to enhance the stability and reliability of the transmission between the first and second transmission shafts 321, 331.

[0043] In other embodiments of the present disclosure (not shown in the figures), the driving portion 31 has a driving wheel, the second transmission portion 33 includes a driven wheel and a second transmission shaft 331 fixedly connected thereto, the first transmission portion 32 is constructed as a transmission belt, and the transmission belt is connected between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. When the load of the second transmission portion 33 is less than or equal to a preset threshold value, the second transmission portion 33 is in a transmission state, the driving wheel drives the driven wheel and the second transmission shaft 331 to rotate via the transmission belt, and the driven wheel and the second transmission shaft 331 both move synchronously with the transmission belt. When the load of the second transmission portion 33 is greater than a preset threshold value, the second transmission portion 33 is in a protection state, and the driven wheel and the transmission belt can slide relative to each other, so as to realize the overload protection function of the drive assembly 3 by the driven wheel slipping relative to the transmission belt.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure (not shown in the figures), the first transmission part 32 also includes a first positioning pin, which is coaxially arranged with the first transmission shaft 321. The first positioning pin is connected to the end face of the first transmission shaft 321 close to the second transmission shaft 331. The second transmission shaft 331 has a first positioning hole at one end close to the first transmission shaft 321. The first positioning pin is passed through the first positioning hole. The first positioning pin and the first positioning hole can be positioned and matched to ensure the coaxiality of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331, and facilitate the assembly of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331.

[0045] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the second transmission part 33 also includes a second positioning pin 332, which is coaxially arranged with the second transmission shaft 331. The second positioning pin 332 is connected to the end face of the second transmission shaft 331 close to the first transmission shaft 321. The first transmission shaft 321 has a second positioning hole at one end close to the second transmission shaft 331. The second positioning pin 332 is passed through the second positioning hole. The second positioning pin 332 and the second positioning hole can be positioned and matched to ensure the coaxiality of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331, and facilitate the assembly of the first transmission shaft 321 and the second transmission shaft 331.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, 7 and 8, the drive assembly 3 also includes a support shaft 34, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. The housing 1 can support the support shaft 34 in the axial and radial directions. The support shaft 34 is coaxially arranged with the second transmission shaft 331. In the axial direction of the second transmission shaft 331, the support shaft 34 is arranged on the side of the second transmission shaft 331 away from the first transmission shaft 321. The end surface of the support shaft 34 close to the second transmission shaft 331 is provided with a third bevel tooth 341, and the end surface of the second transmission shaft 331 close to the support shaft 34 is provided with a fourth bevel tooth 3312. In the transmission state, the third bevel tooth 341 is meshed with the fourth bevel tooth 3312, and the support shaft 34 can rotate synchronously with the second transmission shaft 331. In the protection state, the third bevel tooth 341 and the fourth bevel tooth 3312 can slide relative to each other to reduce the instantaneous load of the second transmission shaft 331 and improve the service life of the second transmission shaft 331.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-3, 7, 8, and 10, a third mounting hole 132 communicating with the second mounting hole may be defined within the housing 1. The support shaft 34 may be rotatably disposed within the third mounting hole 132. Grease may be applied to the third mounting hole 132 to reduce frictional resistance during rotation of the support shaft 34. The support shaft 34 and the first transmission shaft 321 may support the second transmission shaft 331 on both axial sides thereof to enhance the stability of the movement of the second transmission shaft 331. In the protected state, when external force is transmitted to the second transmission shaft 331 via the lifting bracket 2, both ends of the second transmission shaft 331 may rotate relative to the support shaft 34 and the first transmission shaft 321, thereby reducing the effect of the frictional resistance of the housing 1 on the support shaft 34 on the rotation of the second transmission shaft 331 and thereby reducing the instantaneous load on the second transmission shaft 331.

[0048] It should be noted that, in the protection state, when the second transmission shaft 331 slides relative to the first transmission shaft 321 and the support shaft 34, the friction between the first bevel teeth 3211 and the second bevel teeth 3311, and the friction between the third bevel teeth 341 and the fourth bevel teeth 3312 can form a damping effect on the second transmission shaft 331, so as to reduce the descending speed of the lifting bracket 2 under the action of external force through the second transmission shaft 331, thereby preventing the lifting bracket 2 from descending rapidly and causing damage to the lifting device 10.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present disclosure (not shown in the figures), the drive assembly 3 also includes a third positioning pin, which is coaxially arranged with the support shaft 34.

The support shaft 34 has a fourth positioning hole 342 at one end close to the second transmission shaft 331. The fourth positioning pin 333 is passed through the fourth positioning hole 342. The fourth positioning pin 333 and the fourth positioning hole 342 can be positioned and matched to ensure the coaxiality of the second transmission shaft 331 and the support shaft 34, and facilitate the assembly of the second transmission shaft 331 and the support shaft 34.

[0061] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving part 31 of the lifting device 10 can drive the second transmission part 33 to move through the first transmission part 32, so that the second transmission part 33 drives the lifting bracket 2 to rise and fall relative to the shell 1, thereby realizing the lifting function of the speaker 20. At the same time, when the load of the second transmission part 33 is greater than a preset threshold, the second transmission part 33 is in a protection state, and the second transmission part 33 and the first transmission part 32 can slide relative to each other to realize the overload protection function of the driving component 3, thereby avoiding damage to the lifting device 10, and thus helping to improve the reliability and service life of the lifting device 10.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a speaker assembly 100 can be mounted on a vehicle's dashboard. The speaker assembly 100 has a stowed state and an in-use state. In the stowed state, the upper surface of the speaker 20 is flush with the dashboard. When the vehicle is locked, the vehicle's controller controls the driver 31 to activate the speaker assembly 100 in the stowed state. When the vehicle is playing music, the vehicle's controller controls the driver 31 to activate the speaker assembly 100 from the stowed state to the in-use state. In this state, the driver assembly 3 drives the speaker 20 upward relative to the dashboard via the lift bracket 2, causing the speaker 20 to protrude from the dashboard. When a downward external force is applied to the speaker 20 or lift bracket 2, causing the load transmitted to the second transmission portion 33 by the lift bracket 2 to exceed a predetermined threshold, the second transmission portion 33 enters a protective state, and the lift bracket 2 and speaker 20 descend relative to the dashboard to the stowed state, in which the upper surface of the speaker 20 is flush with the dashboard.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 and 12, the mounting position 221 is located on the side of the lifting bracket 2 facing away from the shell 1, and the mask 201 has a top protective net 2011 and a side protective net 2022. In the retracted state, the top protective net 2011 is flush with the outer surface of the instrument panel, and the side protective net 2022 is located inside the instrument panel. In the use state, the side protective net 2022 is located outside the instrument panel and faces the occupants in the car. The sound output direction of the speaker body can be toward the side protective net 2022, so that the speaker 20 can improve the sound field in the car when it is raised, thereby enhancing the user's listening experience.
