Abstract

Disclosed are a closed loudspeaker box, a display device including the closed loudspeaker box, and a method for testing the closed loudspeaker box. The closed loudspeaker box includes: a housing; a chamber surrounded by the housing; a through hole penetrating the housing and communicating with the chamber; and a plug, at least a part of the plug is inserted into the through hole, wherein the plug includes a plug main body and a vent hole penetrating the plug main body, and the vent hole communicates the chamber and a space outside the housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A closed loudspeaker box, comprising:
a housing;
a chamber, wherein the chamber is surrounded by the housing;
a through hole, wherein the through hole penetrates the housing and communicates with the chamber; and
a plug, wherein at least a part of the plug is inserted into the through hole,
wherein the plug comprises a plug main body and a vent hole penetrating the plug main body, and the vent hole communicates the chamber and a space outside the housing;
wherein the plug main body comprises a head, a neck, and a tail, the neck is located between the head and the tail in a direction along the central axis, and a size of the neck in the direction perpendicular to the central axis is smaller than a size of the head in the direction perpendicular to the central axis;
wherein the tail comprises a tapered portion and a cylindrical portion, the tapered portion is closer to the neck than the cylindrical portion, and a size of the tapered portion in the direction perpendicular to the central axis gradually decreases from the neck toward the cylindrical portion; and
wherein the vent hole penetrates the head, the neck and the tail in the direction along the central axis.

2. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 1 , wherein the plug includes a central axis extending along a length direction of the plug main body, and a size of the vent hole in a direction perpendicular to the central axis is smaller than a size of the through hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis.

3. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 2 , wherein the size of the vent hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis is less than or equal to 1/10 of the size of the through hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis.

4. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 2 , wherein the size of the vent hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis is related to a volume of the chamber.

5. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 4 , wherein a size of the vent hole in a direction along the central axis is related to the size of the vent hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis.

6. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the tapered portion close to the neck has a first size in the direction perpendicular to the central axis, and the size of the neck in the direction perpendicular to the central axis is smaller than the first size of the tapered portion.

7. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 6 , wherein the through hole comprises a first through hole and a second through hole, and a size of the first through hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis is larger than a size of the second through hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis.

8. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 7 , wherein a hole wall of the first through hole is in contact with an outer surface of the head, and a hole wall of the second through hole is in contact with an outer surface of the neck.

9. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 8 , wherein the head of the plug comprises a first stepped surface facing the neck, the housing comprises a protruding portion, the protruding portion comprises a first surface facing the head, and the first stepped surface is in contact with the first surface.

10. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 9 , wherein the tapered portion of the plug comprises a second stepped surface facing the neck, the protruding portion comprises a second surface facing the tail, and the second stepped surface is in contact with the second surface.

11. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 1 , wherein the plug main body is composed of an elastic material.

12. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 1 , wherein the tail is located in the chamber.

13. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 7 , wherein a size of the neck in a direction along the central axis is equal to a size of the second through hole in the direction along the central axis, and a size of the head in the direction along the central axis is equal to a size of the first through hole in the direction along the central axis.

14. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 2 , wherein an orthographic projection of any one of the through hole, the plug main body, and the vent hole in the direction perpendicular to the central axis is circular.

15. The closed loudspeaker box according to claim 1 , wherein the closed loudspeaker box comprises only one plug and one through hole.

16. A display device, comprising the enclosed loudspeaker box according to claim 1 .

17. A method for testing the closed loudspeaker box according to claim 1 , comprising:
inflating the chamber through the through hole before the plug is inserted into the through hole;
performing an air tightness test on the closed loudspeaker box; and
inserting at least a part of the plug into the through hole after the air tightness test is completed.
