Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a loudspeaker assembly and an electronic device, relating to the technical field of electronic devices, so as to solve the problems of single sound effect and lack of good sound effect. The loudspeaker assembly includes a first housing, a second housing, a loudspeaker vibrator and an adjusting mechanism. The first housing and the loudspeaker vibrator form a first cavity, and the second housing and the loudspeaker vibrator form a second cavity. The adjusting mechanism includes a driving mechanism and a filling part. The driving mechanism drives the filling part to move, so as to change the volume of the filling part extending into the second cavity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A loudspeaker assembly, comprising: a first housing, a second housing, a loudspeaker vibrator and an adjusting mechanism; the first housing and the loudspeaker vibrator form a first cavity, and the second housing and the loudspeaker vibrator form a second cavity; the adjusting mechanism comprises a driving mechanism and a filling part; and the driving mechanism is able to drive the filling part to move, so as to change a volume of the filling part extending into the second cavity; the driving mechanism comprises a driving motor and a transmission assembly, and the filling part is a sliding block; the driving motor is in transmission connection with the sliding block through the transmission assembly; the second housing is provided with a sliding hole that limits reciprocating sliding of the sliding block; wherein the transmission assembly is able to convert a rotation motion of the driving motor into a linear motion, so as to drive the sliding block to slide in a straight line; the transmission assembly is a gear and rack mechanism; a gear of the gear and rack mechanism is sleeved on the output shaft of the driving motor, a rack of the gear and rack mechanism is connected with the sliding block, and the driving motor drives the gear to rotate, so as to drive the rack and the sliding block to move. 2. The loudspeaker assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding block is a rectangular block structure, and the sliding hole is a rectangular hole corresponding to the sliding block; wherein the sliding block is in sealing contact with the sliding hole. 3. An electronic device, comprising a controller, and further comprising the loudspeaker assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller is able to control a power on/off state of a driving mechanism, so as to control a volume size of a filling part extending into or exiting from a second cavity. 4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the electronic device is any one of a smart phone, a tablet computer and a loudspeaker box. 5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising an audio acquisition module; the audio acquisition module is able to acquire a frequency information of an audio information to be played; and the controller is able to control the power on/off state of the driving mechanism according to the frequency information. 6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the sliding block is a rectangular block structure, and the sliding hole is a rectangular hole corresponding to the sliding block; wherein the sliding block is in sealing contact with the sliding hole. 7. A loudspeaker assembly comprising: a first housing, a second housing, a loudspeaker vibrator and an adjusting mechanism; the first housing and the loudspeaker vibrator form a first cavity, and the second housing and the loudspeaker vibrator form a second cavity; the adjusting mechanism comprises a driving mechanism and a filling part; and the driving mechanism is able to drive the filling part to move, so as to change a volume of the filling part extending into the second cavity; wherein the driving mechanism comprises an air pump, the filling part is a flexible sealing bag, and the sealing bag is provided with an air hole; the air pump is able to inflate and deflate the flexible sealing bag through the air hole. 8. The loudspeaker assembly as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second housing is provided with a through hole communicated with the second cavity, and the flexible sealing bag is in sealing contact with the through hole. 9. An electronic device comprising a controller, and further comprising the loudspeaker assembly as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the controller is able to control a power on/off state of a driving mechanism, so as to control a volume size of a filling part extending into or exiting from a second cavity. 10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the second housing is provided with a through hole communicated with the second cavity, and the flexible sealing bag is in sealing contact with the through hole.
