The speaker apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a device housing and a plurality of speaker assemblies.

Description

speaker device

[0001] The present invention relates to a speaker device.

[0002] Typically, the housing of a speaker device, which is an acoustic device, is formed so that the length in one direction (e.g., horizontal direction) is longer than the length in another direction (e.g., vertical direction). The housing forms the exterior of the speaker device and is also called a 'case'.

[0003] The housing of the speaker device has two or more speaker units arranged in one direction (e.g., horizontally). The two or more speaker units may typically include a tweeter speaker, a mid-range speaker, and a woofer or mid-woofer.

[0004] The housing of the speaker device can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

[0005] When the housing of the speaker device is mounted vertically, two or more speaker units are arranged vertically in a row. At this time, the speaker unit arranged at the bottom of the speaker device housing may not face the user's face.

[0006] That is, when the speaker device is placed vertically, the radiation angle of the speaker unit located at the lowest point in the speaker device's housing may not be directed toward the user's face.

[0007] To address this, conventional speaker devices tilt the entire speaker device with a separate actuator when the housing is placed vertically. This speaker device has the problem that the speaker units located at the top, which do not need to be tilted, also tilt, so the speaker units located at the top do not face the user's face, and the separate actuator must be provided, which complicates the mechanism of the actuator and increases the manufacturing cost.

[0008] Therefore, when the speaker device is placed vertically, only the speaker unit located at the bottom can be tilted without external force from the user without having a separate driving device, and when the speaker device is placed horizontally, a speaker device is required in which the tilted speaker unit returns to its original angle.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a speaker device in which, when the speaker device is mounted vertically, at least one speaker unit (e.g., the speaker unit positioned at the bottom) among a plurality of speaker units is tilted toward a user's face without an external force from the user, without a separate driving device, and when the speaker device is mounted horizontally, the tilted speaker unit returns to its original angle.

[0010] The above-described object of the present invention is achieved by the specific contents described below.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a speaker device can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and includes a device housing and a plurality of speaker assemblies. The device housing forms an exterior, and the plurality of speaker assemblies are arranged in the device housing. When the speaker device is mounted vertically, at least one of the plurality of speaker assemblies is tilted by a load. In addition, when the speaker device is mounted horizontally, the tilted speaker assembly returns to its original position by the restoring force of an elastic member.

[0012] Specifically, the device housing includes a plurality of openings. A plurality of rotational shaft insertion holes are formed on the inner surface of the device housing surrounding the openings. When the speaker device is mounted vertically, the plurality of rotational shaft insertion holes are respectively arranged on one side and the other side of the inner surface of the device housing surrounding the openings in the horizontal direction. A rotational shaft member of the speaker assembly is arranged in the rotational shaft insertion holes.

[0013] Specifically, when the speaker device is mounted horizontally, the plurality of rotation axis insertion holes are respectively arranged on one side and the other side in the vertical direction on the inner surface of the device housing surrounding the opening.

[0014] Specifically, at least one speaker assembly among a plurality of speaker assemblies includes a speaker housing, a speaker unit, and a mass member. The speaker unit is accommodated on one side of the speaker housing in one direction. The mass member is accommodated on the other side of the speaker housing in the one direction and is arranged to be spaced apart from the speaker unit by a preset distance in the one direction. In addition, the weight of the mass member is heavier than the weight of the speaker unit.

[0015] Specifically, the speaker housing includes a housing body, a first receiving portion, a second receiving portion, and a plurality of rotational axis members. The first receiving portion is formed in the housing body and accommodates the speaker unit. In addition, the second receiving portion is formed in the housing body and accommodates the mass member. The plurality of rotational axis members are formed on the outer surface of the housing body where the first receiving portion is formed.

[0016] Specifically, when the speaker device is mounted vertically, the housing body tilts in one rotational direction with the rotation axis member as the rotation axis due to the weight of the mass member, so that the mass member goes down and the speaker unit goes up.

[0017] Specifically, at least one of the plurality of speaker assemblies further includes an elastic member, wherein the elastic member is disposed on the rotational axis member and is a torsion spring.

[0018] Specifically, one end of the elastic member is fixed to the housing body or the rotary shaft member, and the other end of the elastic member is fixed to the inner surface of the device housing surrounding the rotary shaft insertion hole or the opening of the device housing.

[0019] A speaker device according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a light assembly. The light assembly is positioned in a light receiving portion of the device housing. The light receiving portion is formed in a recess shape at one or the other edge of the device housing.

[0020] Specifically, the light assembly includes a cover member, a diffusion member, a substrate member, and an LED member. The cover member allows light to pass through. The diffusion member is disposed on the inner surface of the cover member. The substrate member is disposed on the bottom surface and side surfaces of the light receiving portion. The LED member is disposed on the substrate member.

[0021] Specifically, the bottom surface or side surface of the light receiving portion is formed to have different heights or different preset angles for each area.

[0022] Specifically, one side of the substrate member is formed with different heights or different preset angles for each region.

[0023] Specifically, the LED elements are arranged at different heights or at different preset angles on one surface of the substrate element.

[0024] Specifically, at least one of the plurality of speaker assemblies represents a speaker assembly that is positioned at the bottom.

[0025] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, when the device housing of the speaker device is placed vertically, the speaker device has an effect of tilting at least one of a plurality of speaker units (e.g., a speaker unit positioned at the bottom) so that it faces the user's face without a separate driving device or external force from the user.

[0026] In addition, the speaker device according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention has an effect in which, when the housing of the speaker device is placed horizontally, the speaker unit, which was tilted when placed vertically, returns to its original angle without a separate driving device and external force from the user.

[0027] In addition, the speaker device according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention has a light assembly and has the effect of transmitting a uniform amount of light to a diffusion member by using a reflection angle.

For components of the present invention that are clearly understandable and easily reproducible by those skilled in the art using conventional techniques, a detailed description thereof will be omitted so as not to obscure the gist of the present invention.

[0043] The attached drawings are only provided to facilitate understanding of examples of embodiments disclosed in this specification, and the technical ideas disclosed in this specification are not limited by the attached drawings.

[0044] Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0045] Additionally, terms including ordinal numbers, such as "first" and "second," used herein may be used to describe various components, but these components should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, a first component could be referred to as a "second component," and similarly, a second component could also be referred to as a "first component."

[0046] Below, a speaker device according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0047] Hereinafter, a speaker device according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention may be briefly referred to as a ‘speaker device of the present invention.’

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 11, the speaker device (1) of the present invention represents an acoustic device composed of one or more speakers.

[0049] The speaker device (1) of the present invention includes a device housing (10) and a speaker assembly (20).

[0050] The device housing (10) forms the exterior of the speaker device (1) and may be called a ‘case’.

[0051] The device housing (10) is formed so that the length in one direction (e.g., horizontal direction) is longer than the length in another direction (e.g., vertical direction).

[0052] The speaker device (1) (specifically, the device housing (10)) can be mounted (or placed) horizontally or vertically.

[0053] The fact that the device housing (10) is placed (or arranged) horizontally means that, for example, when the speaker device (1) is placed on a desk, the speaker device (1) is placed so that one direction of the device housing (10) is arranged parallel to the horizontal direction (see Fig. 1).

[0054] And, the fact that the device housing (10) is placed (or arranged) vertically means that, for example, when the speaker device (1) is placed on a desk, the speaker device (1) is placed so that one direction of the device housing (10) is arranged parallel to the vertical direction (see Fig. 2).

[0055] In this specification, a case where the speaker device (1) is placed (or arranged) horizontally may be referred to as 'horizontal placement of the speaker device (1)', and a case where the speaker device (1) is placed (or arranged) vertically may be referred to as 'vertical placement of the speaker device (1)'. Here, the speaker device (1) specifically represents the device housing (10).

[0056] When two or more speaker units (22) are arranged in a speaker device (1) (specifically, a device housing (10)), when the speaker device (1) is vertically mounted, the speaker units (22) are arranged in a vertical row. At this time, at least one speaker unit (22) among the plurality of speaker units (22) (for example, the speaker unit (22) arranged at the bottom (see FIG. 3 and FIG. 10)) may not face the user's face. In the drawing, reference numeral 201 indicates a speaker assembly (201) arranged at the bottom.

[0057] For example, when the speaker device (1) is placed vertically, the radiation angle of the speaker unit (22) positioned at the bottom of the device housing (10) may not be directed toward the user's face.

[0058] In order to provide high-quality sound to the user, when the speaker device (1) is placed vertically, the radiation angle of the speaker unit (22) placed at the bottom needs to be rotated or tilted so as to face the user's face.

[0059] Meanwhile, the device housing (10) has an internal accommodation space (10s) (see Fig. 8). The accommodation space (10s) accommodates a speaker assembly (20) and various electrical and electronic devices.

[0060] The above electrical and electronic devices represent various electrical and electronic components that produce sound from the speaker unit (22) of the speaker assembly (20).

[0061] The device housing (10) includes a plurality of openings (11) (see FIG. 3, FIG. 6).

[0062] That is, a plurality of openings (11) are formed in the device housing (10).

[0063] A speaker assembly (20) is placed in each of the plurality of openings (11).

[0064] One side (e.g., speaker cone) of the speaker unit (22), which is a component of the speaker assembly (20), is exposed to the outside of the device housing (10) through the opening (11).

[0065] The opening (11) may be formed in a circular or polygonal shape. The shape of the opening (11) corresponds to the outer shape of the cross-section of the housing body (211) that is arranged in the opening (11), which will be described later. For example, if the outer shape of the cross-section of the housing body (211) that is arranged in the opening (11) is circular, the opening (11) may be formed in a circular shape. In addition, if the outer shape of the cross-section is square, the opening (11) may be formed in a square shape.

[0066] The inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) and the outer surface (or outer circumference) of the housing body (211) are spaced apart by a preset distance. Accordingly, the housing body (211) can be rotated or tilted in the opening (11).

[0067] A rotation shaft insertion hole (12) is formed on the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11).

[0068] The rotation shaft insertion hole (12) is formed horizontally on the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) when the speaker device (1) is mounted vertically (see Fig. 6).

[0069] That is, when the speaker device (1) is placed horizontally, the rotation axis insertion hole (12) is vertically arranged on the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) (see FIG. 7 and FIG. 9).

[0070] A plurality of rotation shaft insertion holes (12) are formed.

[0071] The plurality of rotation shaft insertion holes (12) include a first rotation shaft insertion hole (12a) and a second rotation shaft insertion hole (12b) (see FIG. 6).

[0072] The first rotation axis insertion hole (12a) and the second rotation axis insertion hole (12b) are formed to face each other on the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11).

[0073] In detail, when the speaker device (1) is mounted vertically, the first rotation axis insertion hole (12a) and the second rotation axis insertion hole (12b) are respectively positioned on one side and the other side in the horizontal direction on the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) and face each other (see Fig. 6).

[0074] Accordingly, when the speaker device (1) is mounted horizontally, the first rotation axis insertion hole (12a) and the second rotation axis insertion hole (12b) are respectively positioned on one side and the other side in the vertical direction on the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) and face each other (see FIGS. 7 and 9).

[0075] A rotation shaft member (212) described later is inserted and placed in the rotation shaft insertion hole (12) (see Fig. 9).

[0076] The rotation shaft member (212) is placed in the rotation shaft insertion hole (12) and can rotate.

[0077] A first rotation shaft member (212a) is inserted and placed into the first rotation shaft insertion hole (12a), and a second rotation shaft member (212b) is inserted and placed into the second rotation shaft insertion hole (12b).

[0078] A plurality of speaker assemblies (20) are arranged in the device housing (10).

[0079] Each of the plurality of speaker assemblies (20) is placed in each of the plurality of openings (11) formed in the device housing (10).

[0080] When the speaker device (1) is mounted vertically, at least one speaker assembly (20) among the plurality of speaker assemblies (20) (e.g., the speaker assembly (201) positioned at the bottom) can be rotated or tilted by a load (see FIG. 3, FIG. 10, and FIG. 11).

[0081] Accordingly, the radiation angle of the speaker unit (22) of at least one speaker assembly (20) among the plurality of speaker assemblies (20) (e.g., the speaker assembly (201) arranged at the bottom) can be rotated or tilted toward the user's face.

[0082] In addition, when the speaker device (1) is placed horizontally, at least one of the plurality of speaker assemblies (20) (e.g., the speaker assembly (201) placed at the bottom) can return to its original position by the elastic force (restoring force) of the elastic member (24) described below.

[0083] Below, among the multiple speaker assemblies (20) mounted on the device housing (10), the speaker assembly (201) positioned at the bottom when the speaker device (1) is mounted vertically will be specifically described.

[0084] The speaker assembly (201) positioned at the very bottom, which will be described later, can be applied in the same or similar manner to the speaker assembly (20) positioned above the speaker assembly (201) positioned at the very bottom.

[0085] That is, at least one speaker assembly (20) among a plurality of speaker assemblies (20) can be rotated or tilted by a load when placed vertically. In addition, the rotated or tilted speaker assembly (20) can return to its original position by the restoring force of the elastic member (24) when placed horizontally.

[0086] Below, the description of the speaker assembly (201) placed at the very bottom can be applied to all speaker assemblies (20) that are rotated or tilted when placed vertically and return to their original position when placed horizontally.

[0087] The speaker assembly (20) includes a speaker housing (21), a speaker unit (22), a mass member (23), and an elastic member (24).

[0088] The speaker housing (21) forms the exterior of the speaker assembly (20).

[0089] The speaker housing (21) accommodates a speaker unit (22) and a mass member (23).

[0090] The speaker housing (21) is formed long in one direction.

[0091] The speaker housing (21) may represent a housing body (211) described later.

[0092] The speaker housing (21) (or housing body (211)) can rotate or tilt in one rotational direction.

[0093] The speaker housing (21) includes a housing body (211), a receiving portion (213), and a rotation axis member (212).

[0094] The housing body (211) forms the body of the speaker housing (21).

[0095] The housing body (211) may be formed into a cylindrical shape having a preset length in one direction. The cylindrical shape is an example, and may be formed into a polygonal cylinder shape, etc. The one direction may represent the longitudinal direction of the housing body (211).

[0096] The receiving portion (213) is formed inside the housing body (211) (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5).

[0097] The receiving area (213) represents a space of a preset size.

[0098] The receiving portion (213) includes a first receiving portion (213a) and a second receiving portion (213b).

[0099] The first receiving portion (213a) and the second receiving portion (213b) are arranged in one direction of the housing body (211).

[0100] The first receiving portion (213a) is formed on one side of the housing body (211) in one direction, and the second receiving portion (213b) is formed on the other side of the housing body (211) in one direction.

[0101] The housing body (211) may include an internal bulkhead (214).

[0102] The first receiving portion (213a) and the second receiving portion (213b) can be partitioned (separated) by an internal partition wall (214) (see FIG. 5).

[0103] An internal bulkhead (214) is formed inside the housing body (211) and is formed between the first receiving portion (213a) and the second receiving portion (213b).

[0104] According to an example of an embodiment of the present invention, a hole (not designated) of a preset size may be formed in the inner bulkhead (214), or the inner bulkhead (214) may not be provided. Wires and the like may be arranged in the hole. In an example of an embodiment without the inner bulkhead (214), the first receiving portion (213a) and the second receiving portion (213b) may be in communication with each other.

[0105] The inner bulkhead (214) includes one side and the other side that are opposite to each other. One side of the inner bulkhead (214) faces the first receiving portion (213a), and the other side of the inner bulkhead (214) faces the second receiving portion (213b).

[0106] One side of the first receiving portion (213a) is opened (213h) (see FIG. 4), and the other side of the first receiving portion (213a) is arranged with one surface of the internal partition wall (214). In addition, one side of the second receiving portion (213b) is arranged with the other surface of the internal partition wall (214), and the other side of the second receiving portion (213b) may be opened.

[0107] The first receiving portion (213a) receives the speaker unit (22), and the second receiving portion (213b) receives the mass member (23). The first receiving portion (213a) may be referred to as a 'speaker unit receiving portion', and the second receiving portion (213b) may be referred to as a 'mass member receiving portion'.

[0108] The speaker unit (22) is placed on one side of the first receiving portion (213a), and the mass member (23) is placed on the other side of the second receiving portion (213b). Accordingly, the speaker unit (22) and the mass member (23) are spaced apart by a preset distance.

[0109] The rotation axis member (212) is formed on the outside of the housing body (211) (see FIG. 4).

[0110] The rotation axis member (212) is formed on the first receiving portion (213a).

[0111] Specifically, the rotation shaft member (212) is formed on one side of the housing body (211) in one direction and is formed on the outer surface of the housing body (211). The rotation shaft member (212) is formed on the outer surface of the housing body (211) where the first receiving portion (213a) is formed.

[0112] The rotation axis member (212) is formed by protruding from the outer surface of the housing body (211) in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface.

[0113] In detail, the rotation axis member (212) is formed by protruding from the outer surface of the housing body (211) in a direction orthogonal to one direction of the housing body (211).

[0114] The rotating shaft member (212) is formed to a preset length.

[0115] A plurality of rotating shaft members (212) are formed.

[0116] The plurality of rotational axis members (212) include a first rotational axis member (212a) and a second rotational axis member (212b).

[0117] The first rotation axis member (212a) and the second rotation axis member (212b) are arranged on opposite sides of the outer surface of the housing body (211).

[0118] In detail, the first rotation axis member (212a) and the second rotation axis member (212b) are formed to protrude toward opposite sides from the outer surface of the housing body (211).

[0119] The rotation shaft member (212) is placed in the rotation shaft insertion hole (12) formed in the device housing (10) and can rotate.

[0120] The first rotation axis member (212a) is placed in the first rotation axis insertion hole (12a), and the second rotation axis member (212b) is placed in the second rotation axis insertion hole (12b) (see FIG. 9).

[0121] The speaker unit (22) is placed in the first receiving portion (213a) (speaker unit receiving portion) of the housing body (211) (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5).

[0122] A speaker unit (22) refers to a device that converts an electric acoustic signal into a sound wave.

[0123] The speaker unit (22) represents a conventional speaker, and sound is transmitted to the outside through a speaker cone provided in the speaker unit (22). The speaker unit (22) includes electrical and electronic devices that allow sound to be output through the speaker unit (22). Since the speaker unit (22) is a well-known component, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0124] The speaker unit (22) may be a tweeter speaker, a mid-range speaker, or a woofer or mid-woofer.

[0125] The plurality of speaker assemblies (20) (specifically, speaker units (22)) may include one or more of a tweeter speaker, a mid-range speaker, and / or a woofer speaker.

[0126] When the speaker device (1) is mounted vertically, the speaker unit (22) of the speaker assembly (201) positioned at the bottom among the plurality of speaker assemblies (20) may be a tweeter speaker.

[0127] The mass member (23) is placed in the second receiving portion (213b) (mass member receiving portion) of the housing body (211) (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

[0128] The mass member (23) has a weight that is heavier than the weight of the speaker unit (22). That is, the weight of the mass member (23) is heavier than the weight of the speaker unit (22).

[0129] Accordingly, the housing body (211) can be rotated or tilted in one rotational direction by the weight of the mass member (23).

[0130] Specifically, since the speaker unit (22) is arranged on one side of the housing body (211) in one direction and the mass member (23) is arranged on the other side of the housing body (211) in one direction, when the speaker device (1) is mounted vertically, the speaker assembly (20) (specifically, the speaker housing (21) or the housing body (211)) can rotate or tilt in one rotational direction with the rotational axis member (212) as the rotational axis. At this time, the mass member (23) moves downward and the speaker unit (22) moves upward (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

[0131] Due to this, the speaker unit (22) positioned at the very bottom rotates or tilts to face the user's face.

[0132] The elastic member (24) may be a coiled spring. Specifically, the elastic member (24) may be a torsion spring.

[0133] The elastic member (24) is placed on the rotation shaft member (212) (see Fig. 4). The rotation shaft member (212) is inserted into a through hole of the elastic member (24). The through hole of the elastic member (24) refers to a hole that penetrates the interior in the longitudinal direction of the elastic member (24).

[0134] The elastic member (24) is placed on each of the first rotation axis member (212a) and the second rotation axis member (212b).

[0135] One end of the elastic member (24) is fixed to the housing body (211) or the rotation shaft member (212) of the speaker housing (21). And, the other end of the elastic member (24) is fixed to the rotation shaft insertion hole (12) of the device housing (10) or the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) of the device housing (10).

[0136] When the speaker device (1) is mounted vertically, the first rotation axis member (212a) and the second rotation axis member (212b) are arranged horizontally on one side and the other side of the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) of the device housing (10), respectively.

[0137] Accordingly, the speaker assembly (20) (specifically, the speaker housing (21) or housing body (211)) rotates or tilts in one rotational direction with the rotation axis member (212) as the rotation axis due to the weight of the mass member (23). At this time, the mass member (23) moves downward, and the elastic member (24) has a restoring force to return the speaker assembly (20) to its original position.

[0138] When the speaker device (1) is mounted horizontally, the first rotation axis member (212a) and the second rotation axis member (212b) are respectively arranged on one side and the other side in the vertical direction on the inner surface (or inner circumference) of the device housing (10) surrounding the opening (11) of the device housing (10) (see FIG. 7 and FIG. 9).

[0139] Accordingly, since the load of the mass member (23) is not applied downward, the speaker assembly (20) (specifically, the speaker housing (21) or housing body (211)) rotates in the opposite direction of the rotational direction with the rotational axis member (212) as the rotational axis due to the restoring force of the elastic member (24), so that the speaker assembly (20) returns to its original position.

[0140] Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 12 and 13, the speaker device (1) of the present invention includes a light assembly (30).

[0141] The light assembly (30) can emit light.

[0142] The speaker device (1) of the present invention (specifically, the device housing (10)) includes a light receiving portion (35) (see Fig. 13).

[0143] The light assembly (30) is placed in the light receiving portion (35).
