FIG. 15 is a side cross-sectional view showing the appearance of a speaker device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention before some components are combined. FIG. 16 is an enlarged view of area B of FIG. 15 showing the combined appearance of the speaker device. FIG. 17 is a side cross-sectional view showing the appearance of a speaker device according to one embodiment of the present invention before some components are combined. FIG. 18 is an enlarged view of area C of FIG. 17 showing the combined appearance of the speaker device.
[0099] Referring to FIGS. 13 to 18, when the speaker body (10) is mounted on the holder (100), the holder (100) can be received in the recess (60). Specifically, the holder (100) can be fixed to the recess (60) by being received in the recess (60) and then coupled with the mounting groove (65). When the holder (100) is coupled with the recess (60), the direction in which the holder (100) is received in the recess (60) in a horizontal direction may be called the first direction, and the direction in which the holder (100) moved in the first direction moves in a vertical direction to be coupled with the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60) may be called the second direction. More specifically, with respect to the rear plate (22) and the front plate (21), the direction from the rear plate (22) toward the front plate (21) may be called the first direction, and with respect to the direction of gravity, the direction opposite to the direction of gravity may be called the second direction.
[0100] The speaker device (1) may be configured to supply power to the speaker body (10) as the speaker body (10) is mounted on the holder (100). The speaker body (10) may be mounted on a floor stand (110) or a wall mount bracket (120).
[0101] For example, when the speaker body (10) is mounted on the floor stand (110), the cylinder (113) of the floor stand (110) may be arranged to be fixed to the recess (60) as it moves in a first direction and a second direction relative to the recess (60).
[0102] More specifically, the cylinder (113) can be received in a first direction with respect to the recess (60). Accordingly, the protruding surface (114) of the cylinder (113) can come into contact with the recessed surface (62) of the recess (60). At this time, both sides of the cylinder (113) can be arranged to come into contact with the guide portions (66) on both sides of the recess (60). Additionally, the mounting projection (101) provided on the upper side of the cylinder (113) can be arranged to be aligned vertically with the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60).
[0103] The cylinder (113) in contact with the recess (60) can be moved in a second direction. The cylinder (113) raised in the second direction can be moved so that the mounting projection (101) is inserted into the mounting groove (65). When the cylinder (113) moves in the second direction, the movement of the cylinder (113) can be guided by the guide portions (66) on both sides. That is, when the cylinder (113) moves in the second direction, the protruding surface (114) of the cylinder (113) and both sides of the cylinder (113) are guided by the guide portions (66) of the recess (60) and the inner surface (63) of the recess (60), respectively, so that the insertion of the mounting projection (101) into the mounting groove (65) can be guided. That is, the recess (60) can be provided to guide the connection between the mounting projection (101) and the mounting groove (65).
[0104] More specifically, the cylinder (113) moved into the interior of the recess (60) in the first direction can maintain contact with the interior surface (63) of the recess (60) on both sides in the left and right directions, which are perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Additionally, regarding the first direction, the cylinder (113) can maintain contact between the recessed surface (62) of the recess (60) and the protruding surface (114) of the cylinder (113).
[0105] Accordingly, when the cylinder (113) is moved in the second direction within the recess (60), the cylinder (113) can be moved while maintaining contact with the inner surface of the recess (60) in the first direction (front-backward direction) and the left-right direction, except for the second direction in which it is moved. At this time, the guide portion (64) provided on the inner surface (63) of the recess (60) can be formed to extend in a vertical direction parallel to the second direction. Accordingly, the cylinder (113) moving in contact with the guide portion (64) can reach the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60) without shaking in the left-right direction while moving in the second direction.
[0106] Additionally, the mounting projection (101) provided on the cylinder (113) may be spaced apart from the protruding surface (114) of the cylinder (113) by the distance between the recess (60)'s recess (62) and the mounting groove (65). Accordingly, the mounting projection (101) provided on the cylinder (113), which moves in a second direction while in contact with the recess (60)'s recess (60), may be arranged to be received in the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60) as soon as the movement of the cylinder (113) in the second direction ends.
[0107] That is, the cylinder (113) can be moved without twisting or shaking when moving in the second direction as it is guided by the guide portion (64) of the recess (62) and the inner surface (63) inside the recess (60). In addition, as the stability of movement in the second direction is increased, the mounting projection (101) of the cylinder (113) can be easily received in the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60).
[0108] The principle by which such a guide part (64) guides the holder (100) is not limited to the case of a floor stand (110), but can be similarly applied when a wall mount bracket (120) is coupled to a recess (60). More specifically, the support plate (124) of the wall mount bracket (120) can be guided to move in a second direction in the same way by the guide part (64) of the recess (60), and the support plate (124) can be moved in a second direction while in contact with the rear surface of a power supply unit (130) attached to the inside of the recess (60) in the first direction.
[0109] The thickness of the power supply (130) is provided to correspond to the distance between the recess (60)'s recess (62) and the mounting groove (65), so that the mounting projection (101) provided on the support plate (124) that moves in a second direction along the rear of the power supply (130) can be easily coupled to the mounting groove (65).
[0110] The speaker body (10) can be supplied with power when the recess (60) is combined with the floor stand (110). Specifically, the power supply unit (111) provided on the protruding surface (114) of the cylinder (113) can be configured to be connected to the power supply unit (61) provided on the recess (60) when the mounting projection (101) of the floor stand (110) is coupled to the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60). The power supply unit (61) of the recess (60) and the power supply unit (111) of the cylinder (113) can each be configured as a pogo pin power supply unit. Accordingly, the power supply unit (61) of the recess (60) and the power supply unit (111) of the cylinder (113) can be configured to be electrically connected by contacting each other.
[0111] The power supply unit (61) of the recess (60) may be provided on the upper side of the recessed surface (62). The mounting projection (101) of the floor stand (110) may be coupled to the mounting groove (65) provided on the upper side of the recess (60). The power supply unit (111) of the floor stand (110) may be located near the mounting projection (101) of the floor stand (110). Accordingly, when the recess (60) is coupled with the floor stand (110), the power supply unit (61) of the recess (60) and the power supply unit (111) of the floor stand (110) may be arranged to be connected to each other. Accordingly, the floor stand (110) may be arranged to supply power to the speaker body (10).
[0112] To this end, the distance between the protruding surface (114) of the cylinder (113) and the mounting projection (101) of the floor stand (110) can be arranged to be equal to the distance between the recessed surface (62) of the recess (60) and the mounting groove (65). That is, when the mounting projection (101) of the floor stand (110) is received in the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60), the protruding surface (114) of the cylinder (113) can come into contact with the recessed surface (62) of the recess (60). Accordingly, the power supply units (61, 111) formed on the protruding surface (114) and the recessed surface (62) can be arranged to come into contact with each other.
[0113] For example, when the speaker body (10) is mounted on the wall mount bracket (120), the wall mount bracket (120) can be fixed to the recess (60) as it moves in a first direction and a second direction relative to the recess (60). Additionally, when the speaker body (10) is mounted on the wall mount bracket (120), a separate power supply unit (130) may be provided. The power supply unit (130) may be provided to supply power to the speaker body (10).
[0114] More specifically, when attaching the speaker body (10) to the wall mount bracket (120), the speaker body (10) can be mounted on the wall mount bracket (120) after connecting the power supply unit (130) to the speaker body (10). That is, with the power supply unit (130) attached to the recess (60), the support plate (124) of the wall mount bracket (120) can move in a first direction and a second direction relative to the recess (60) to be attached to the recess (60).
[0115] The power supply unit (130) may be positioned between the recess (62) and the wall mount bracket (120). At this time, the thickness of the power supply unit (130) may be provided to be smaller than the distance between the recess (62) and the mounting groove (65). The recess (60) may be provided to include a magnet on the inside to provide magnetism for the attachment of the power supply unit (130). The power supply unit (130) may be attached to the recess (62) of the recess (60) by the magnetic force provided by the magnet.
[0116] Even when the power supply unit (130) is attached to the recess (60), the support projection (118) of the wall mount bracket (120), which is provided as part of the support plate (124), can be received in the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60). Specifically, the mounting groove (65) can be formed spaced apart from the recessed surface (62) of the recess (60). In addition, the distance between the mounting groove (65) and the recessed surface (62) can be provided to be greater than the thickness of the power supply unit (130). That is, the recess (60) can be provided so that the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60) is exposed to the outside even when the power supply unit (130) is attached to the recessed surface (62) of the recess (60). Accordingly, the wall mount bracket (120) can be moved in the first direction and the second direction to be coupled with the mounting groove (65) of the recess (60).
[0117] That is, even when the speaker body (10) is mounted on a wall mount bracket (120), a power supply unit (130) can be connected to the speaker body (10) to supply power.
