Abstract

An electronic device including a speaker is provided. The electronic device includes a main housing, a cover housing connected to the main housing, a speaker provided inside the main housing and the cover housing, and a guide including a guide base seated on the main housing to support the speaker and a guide body extending from the guide base in a first direction and overlapping the speaker in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device comprising a speaker, the electronic device comprising:
a main housing; a cover housing connected to the main housing; a speaker provided inside the main housing and the cover housing; and a guide comprising a guide base seated on the main housing to support the speaker and a guide body extending from the guide base in a first direction and overlapping the speaker in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the main housing comprises a stainless-steel material.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the guide body is in contact with the speaker.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the speaker comprises:
a speaker body of which at least a portion is provided inside the guide body; and a protective plate, of which at least a portion is provided inside the guide base, connected to the speaker body.

5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the protective plate is spaced apart from the guide base in the second direction.

6 . The electronic device of claim 5 , further comprising:
a seal provided in a state of being compressed between the protective plate and the guide base.

7 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein a first distance from a bottom surface of the cover housing to the protective plate is less than a second distance from a bottom surface of the cover housing to the guide base.

8 . The electronic device of claim 4 , further comprising:
a seal provided in a state of being compressed between the speaker body and the guide body.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the main housing is provided in a state of being inserted into the guide.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the main housing comprises:
a main base in contact with the guide base in the first direction; and a main body extending from an outer edge of the main base to be in contact with the guide base and the guide body in the second direction.

11 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the main housing further comprises:
a main rib extending from an inner edge of the main base and inserted into the guide.

12 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the main body is spaced apart from the guide in the second direction.

13 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the speaker is exposed to an outside the main housing and the cover housing.

14 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of porous capsules provided inside the main housing and the cover housing.

15 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a detachable cover detachably connected to the main housing.

16 . An electronic device comprising a speaker, the electronic device comprising:
a main housing comprising a main base and a main body extending from the main base; a cover housing connected to the main body; and a speaker comprising a speaker body provided inside the main housing and the cover housing and a protective plate, of which at least a portion is exposed to an outside of the main housing, connected to the speaker body.

17 . The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein at least a portion of the speaker body is exposed to an outside of the cover housing.

18 . The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the main housing is attached to the cover housing.

19 . The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the main housing further comprises:
a first rib extending parallel to the main body from the main base; and a second rib extending toward the main body from the first rib.

20 . The electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the main housing comprises a stainless-steel material.

21 . The electronic device of claim 19 , further comprising:
a guide comprising a guide body extending from a guide base in a first direction and overlapping the speaker in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

22 . The electronic device of claim 21 , wherein at least a portion of the main housing is provided in a state of being inserted into the guide.

23 . An electronic device comprising a speaker, the electronic device comprising:
a main housing comprising a stainless-steel material; a cover housing connected to the main housing and comprising a stainless-steel material; a speaker provided inside the main housing and the cover housing; and a guide comprising a guide base seated on the main housing to support the speaker and a guide body extending from the guide base in a first direction and overlapping the speaker in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the main housing comprises:
a main base in contact with the guide base in the first direction, and
a main body extending from an outer edge of the main base to be in contact with the guide base and the guide body in the second direction.
