Detailed Description

The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not restrictive of the invention. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.

It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.

Please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3 to fig. 4. Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a speaker device 100A according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein a housing 110 is separated from a sound guiding structure 140A. Fig. 2 is another perspective view of the speaker device 100A in fig. 1, wherein the sound guide structure 140A covers the assembling opening 112a of the housing 110. Fig. 3 is another perspective view of the speaker device 100A in fig. 1, wherein the housing 110 is engaged with the sound guiding structure 140A. Fig. 4 is a side view of the speaker unit 100A in fig. 3, in which the housing 110 is shown in section.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in the present embodiment, the speaker device 100A includes a housing 110, a connecting structure 120, a speaker unit 130, a sound guiding structure 140A, and a mesh cover 150. The housing 110 has an accommodating space S. The engaging structure 120 is disposed on the housing 110. The sound guide structure 140A is detachably engaged with the engaging structure 120. The speaker unit 130 is located in the accommodating space S and configured to emit sound toward the sound guide structure 140A. The mesh cover 150 is disposed on the casing 110, and the accommodating space S of the casing 110 is communicated to the outside of the casing 110 through the mesh cover 150.

In the present embodiment, the housing 110 has an assembly port 112 a. The assembling port 112a is located at the top of the housing 110 and communicates with the accommodating space S. The engaging structure 120 is disposed in the accommodating space S and adjacent to the assembling opening 112 a. The sound guide structure 140A covers the assembling opening 112a of the housing 110 after engaging with the engaging structure 120.

Specifically, the engaging structure 120 includes a first locking portion 121 and a carrying portion 122. The bearing portion 122 is farther away from the assembling opening 112a than the first tenon portion 121 (i.e., closer to the speaker unit 130 in the accommodating space S). The sound guide structure 140A has a second tenon portion 141. The second tenon 141 is located at the outer edge of the sound guide structure 140A and is rotatably limited between the first tenon 121 and the bearing portion 122.

In some embodiments, the bearing portion 122 of the engaging structure 120 is substantially annular and protrudes from the inner surface 110a of the housing 110. The second locking portion 141 of the sound guiding structure 140A may be a ring structure or a multi-segment arc structure.

In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the bearing portion 122 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second tenon portion 141. Therefore, the sound guiding structure 140A can be supported on the supporting portion 122 of the engaging structure 120 through the second locking part 141, and when the sound guiding structure 140A rotates relative to the assembling opening 112a, the second locking part 141 slides on the supporting portion 122.

In some embodiments, the first tenon portion 121 of the engaging structure 120 is in the shape of a bump and protrudes inward from the inner edge of the assembling opening 112 a. In order to make the second locking part 141 be rotatably limited between the first locking part 121 and the bearing part 122, the inner diameter of the first locking part 121 may be designed to be smaller than the outer diameter of the second locking part 141.

In some embodiments, the second tenon portion 141 has a notch 141 a. The notch 141a is configured to allow the first tenon portion 121 to pass through.

With the above-mentioned structural configuration, when the sound guide structure 140A is to be assembled to the housing 110, the notch 141a of the second tenon portion 141 and the first tenon portion 121 can be aligned as shown in fig. 1. Next, as shown in fig. 2, the sound guide structure 140A is covered on the assembling opening 112a of the housing 110, and the first locking tongue portion 121 passes through the notch 141a of the second locking tongue portion 141. Finally, as shown in fig. 3, the sound guide structure 140A is rotated relative to the assembling opening 112a (the rotation direction is indicated by the large arrow in fig. 2), so that the second locking tenon portion 141 is limited between the first locking tenon portion 121 and the bearing portion 122. Therefore, the procedure of assembling the sound guiding structure 140A to the housing 110 is completed, and the first locking part 121 limits the second locking part 141 to prevent the sound guiding structure 140A from separating from the assembling opening 112 a.

In some embodiments, the sound guide structure 140A further has a stop 142. The stop portion 142 is connected to the second tenon portion 141, disposed at one side of the notch 141a, and configured to abut against the first tenon portion 121. When the sound guide structure 140A rotates relative to the assembly opening 112a until the stop portion 142 abuts against one side of the first tenon portion 121, the first tenon portion 121 is dislocated from the notch 141a of the second tenon portion 141. Therefore, the sound guiding structure 140A can be prevented from rotating excessively relative to the assembly opening 112a and aligning the notches 141a of the first locking tenon portion 121 and the second locking tenon portion 141, so as to prevent the sound guiding structure 140A from separating from the assembly opening 112a of the housing 110.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the housing 110 includes a first housing portion 111 and a second housing portion 112. The speaker unit 130 is disposed on the first shell portion 111. The second housing portion 112 is rotatably connected to the first housing portion 111, and forms an accommodating space S together with the first housing portion 111. The engaging structure 120 and the sound guiding structure 140A are disposed on the second shell portion 112. Thus, in the embodiment where the sound guide structure 140A is a unidirectional sound guide plate, the sound emitting direction can be adjusted by relatively rotating the first casing part 111 and the second casing part 112.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the sound guiding structure 140A is a unidirectional sound guiding plate and has an arc 140A 1. The arc surface 140a1 has two opposite ends E1 and E2 respectively adjacent to the engaging structure 120 and the speaker unit 130. In detail, the sound guiding structure 140A tapers from the top surface of the second shell portion 112 to one side of the speaker unit 130 to form an arc surface 140A 1. Thus, the sound emitted from the speaker unit 130 can be guided to a single direction (or a concentrated range of directions) by the curved surface 140A1 of the sound guiding structure 140A, and leave the speaker device 100A through the mesh cover 150. In practical applications, the speaker device 100A of the present embodiment can be used as a speaker of a personal computer, and the sound is directed only to a user using the personal computer.

However, the shape of the sound guide structure 140A is not limited to the embodiment shown in fig. 4. Referring to fig. 5, a side view of a speaker unit 100B according to another embodiment of the invention is shown, wherein the housing 110 is shown in cross section. As shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, sound directing structure 140B is a multi-directional sound directing plate. Specifically, the sound leading structure 140B has a tapered arc 140B 1. The cone-shaped arc 140B1 has a vertex P, the sound guiding structure 140B tapers from the top surface of the second shell portion 112 to the center of the speaker unit 130, and the vertex P of the cone-shaped arc 140B1 is the closest position of the sound guiding structure 140B to the speaker unit 130. Thus, the sound emitted from the speaker unit 130 can be guided in multiple directions by the tapered curved surface 140B1 of the sound guiding structure 140B, and exit the speaker device 100B through the mesh cover 150. In the present embodiment, the conical curved surface 140B1 of the sound guiding structure 140B can guide the sound coming from below to 360 degrees, so the sound guiding structure 140B can also be referred to as a non-directional sound guiding plate. In practical applications, the speaker device 100B of the present embodiment can be used in a multi-person environment or in the center of an indoor space (e.g., a multi-person party).

Please refer to fig. 6 to 8. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a speaker unit 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a housing 110, a sound guide structure 240, and a mesh cover 250 are separated. Fig. 7 is a perspective assembly view of the speaker unit 200 of fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a partial perspective view of the speaker unit 200 of fig. 6.

As shown in fig. 6 to 8, in the present embodiment, the speaker device 200 includes a housing 110, a connecting structure 220, a speaker unit 130, a sound guiding structure 240 and a mesh cover 250. The housing 210 has an accommodating space S. The engaging structure 220 is disposed on the housing 210. The sound guide structure 240 is detachably engaged with the engaging structure 220. The speaker unit 130 is located in the accommodating space S and configured to emit sound toward the speaker unit 130. The mesh cover 250 is disposed on the housing 210, and the accommodating space S of the housing 210 is communicated to the outside of the housing 210 through the mesh cover 250.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the housing 210 has an inner surface 210 a. The engaging structure 220 is disposed on the inner surface 210a and has a sliding groove 221. The sound guide structure 240 has a slider 241. The slider 241 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 221. In addition, the housing 210 has a sound outlet 213. The mesh cover 250 is detachably engaged with the housing 210 and covers the sound outlet 213.

With the above-mentioned structure configuration, when the sound guiding structure 240 is to be assembled to the housing 210, the mesh cover 250 can be separated from the housing 210 as shown in fig. 6, so that the sound outlet 213 is exposed. Then, the sound guiding structure 240 enters the accommodating space S of the housing 210 through the sound outlet 213, and the sliding block 241 of the sound guiding structure 240 completely slides into the sliding slot 221 of the engaging structure 220, so as to complete the assembly of the sound guiding structure 240 and the engaging structure 220. Finally, as shown in fig. 7, the mesh cover 250 is assembled with the housing 210 to cover the sound outlet 213, thereby completing the procedure of assembling the sound guide structure 240 to the housing 210.

In some embodiments, the sound guiding structure 240 shown in fig. 6 has an arc 140a1 as shown in fig. 4, i.e. is a unidirectional sound guiding plate. In other embodiments, the sound guiding structure 240 shown in fig. 6 may be modified to have the tapered curved surface 140b1 shown in fig. 5 to be a multi-directional sound guiding plate (or non-directional sound guiding plate).

In some embodiments, the housing 210 includes a first housing portion 211 and a second housing portion 212. The connection manner between the first shell portion 211 and the second shell portion 212 is the same as the embodiment shown in fig. 4, so that reference can be made to the related descriptions, which will not be repeated herein.

In some embodiments, the housing 210 and the mesh enclosure 250 may be provided with magnetic attraction members (not shown) that can attract each other, respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly fixing the mesh enclosure 250 to the housing 210 and detaching the mesh enclosure 250 from the housing 210.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the engaging structure 220 further includes a buffer 222 disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding groove 221 and configured to abut against the sliding block 241 of the sound guiding structure 240 after the sliding block 241 slides into the sliding groove 221, so that the sliding block 241 is tightly fitted with the sliding groove 221, and the sound guiding structure 240 is prevented from shaking and loosening on the engaging structure 220. In the present embodiment, the buffer 222 may be made of rubber, but is not limited thereto.

Please refer to fig. 9 and 10. Fig. 9 is a bottom view of a part of the components of the speaker unit 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which the sound guide structure 340 is separated from the engagement structure 320. Fig. 10 is another bottom view of the structure of fig. 9, wherein the sound guide structure 340 is engaged with the engaging structure 320.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, in the present embodiment, the speaker device 300 includes a housing 210, a connecting structure 320, a speaker unit 130, a sound guiding structure 340 and a mesh cover 250, wherein the housing 210, the speaker unit 130 and the mesh cover 250 are the same as or similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 6, and therefore, reference may be made to the related descriptions, which will not be repeated herein. It should be noted that, in a difference of the present embodiment compared to the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the engaging structure 320 has a plurality of sliding slots 321 (only one of which is exemplarily indicated). The sound guiding structure 340 includes a plurality of sound guiding substructures 341 (only one of which is exemplarily indicated). The sound-guiding substructures 341 may be separated from each other and each have a slider 341a (shown in dotted lines, and only one of them is exemplarily indicated). The sliding blocks 341a slidably engage with the sliding grooves 321.

In some embodiments, at least one of the sound leading substructures 341 may have an arc 140a1 as shown in fig. 4. When only one sound guiding substructure 341 has the curved surface 140a1 as shown in fig. 4, the sound guiding structure 340 becomes a single directional sound guiding plate. When the plurality of sound guiding substructures 341 have the curved surfaces 140a1 as shown in fig. 4, the sound guiding structure 340 becomes a multi-directional sound guiding plate. Alternatively, the plurality of sound guiding substructures 341 may adopt curved surfaces 140a1 with different curvatures to combine different sound field effects, which is not limited herein.

In the embodiments shown in fig. 9 and 10, the combination of the four sets of the connection structures 320 and the sound guiding sub-structures 341 is only exemplified, but the invention is not limited thereto, and can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the actual requirement.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, the sliding slots 321 of the engaging structure 320 are substantially radially arranged, but the invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the sliding grooves 321 of the engaging structures 320 may also be substantially parallel to each other.

As apparent from the above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention, in the horn device of the present invention, the horn unit is configured to be vertically arranged, so that the bottom area of the housing can be reduced compared to the conventional horn device. In addition, the sound guide structure adopted by the invention can be one of a unidirectional sound guide plate and a multi-directional sound guide plate, and the sound guide structure can be detachably connected with a connecting structure arranged on the shell. Therefore, a user can replace different sound guide structures according to requirements, and further, different sound fields are generated by sound.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the application and is illustrative of the principles of the technology employed. It will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that the scope of the invention as referred to in the present application is not limited to the embodiments with a specific combination of the above-mentioned features, but also covers other embodiments with any combination of the above-mentioned features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept.
