Abstract

The present disclosure provides an intelligent apparatus that can include a housing, an audio module, an outer dust-proof member, and an inner dust-proof member. The housing defines a mounting chamber therein and is provided with a sound guide hole in communication with the mounting chamber. The audio module is arranged in the mounting chamber and includes a sound guide channel in communication with the sound guide hole. The outer dust-proof member is arranged between the sound guide hole and the sound guide channel, and is provided with an outer filter hole communicating the sound guide hole with the sound guide channel. The inner dust-proof member is arranged between the outer dust-proof member and the sound guide channel, and is provided with an inner filter hole communicating the outer filter hole with the sound guide channel. The outer filter hole has a larger aperture size than the inner filter hole.

Claims (33)

1. An intelligent apparatus, comprising:

a housing defining a mounting chamber therein and having a sound guide hole that is in communication with the mounting chamber;

an audio module arranged in the mounting chamber that includes a sound guide channel in communication with the sound guide hole;

an outer dust-proof member that is arranged between the sound guide hole and the sound guide channel, the outer dust-proof member having an outer filter hole communicating the sound guide hole with the sound guide channel;

an inner dust-proof member that is arranged between the outer dust-proof member and the sound guide channel, the inner dust-proof member having an inner filter hole communicating the outer filter hole with the sound guide channel, where the outer filter hole has an aperture size that is larger than an aperture size of the inner filter hole; and

a buffer member defining a buffer channel therein, one end of the buffer channel is in communication with the sound guide hole through the outer dust-proof member and another end of the buffer channel is in communication with the sound guide channel through the inner dust-proof member,

wherein the buffer member further includes a flexible sealing piece having one end that is communicated with the outer dust-proof member and another end that is communicated with the inner dust-proof member.

2. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the other end of the buffer channel in communication with the inner dust-proof member is projected on the outer dust-proof member.

3. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the other end of the buffer channel in communication with the inner dust-proof member is completely projected on the outer dust-proof member.

4. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the buffer channel along a sound transmission direction is in a range of 0.3 mm-2 mm.

5. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture size of the outer filter hole is in a range of 40-300 μm.

6. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the outer dust-proof member is detachably connected with an inner wall of the housing arranged at a periphery of the sound guide hole.

7. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the inner dust-proof member is detachably connected with a part of the audio module arranged at a periphery of the sound guide channel.

8. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the outer dust-proof member is detachably connected with an inner wall of the housing arranged at a periphery of the sound guide hole, and

the inner dust-proof member is detachably connected with a part of the audio module arranged at a periphery of the sound guide channel.

9. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the outer dust-proof member is bonded to an inner wall of the housing arranged at a periphery of the sound guide hole.

10. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the inner dust-proof member is bonded to a part of the audio module arranged at a periphery of the sound guide channel.

11. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the outer dust-proof member is bonded to an inner wall of the housing arranged at a periphery of the sound guide hole, and

the inner dust-proof member is bonded to a part of the audio module arranged at a periphery of the sound guide channel.

12. An intelligent apparatus, comprising:

a housing defining a mounting chamber therein and having a sound guide hole that is in communication with the mounting chamber;

an audio module arranged in the mounting chamber that includes a sound guide channel in communication with the sound guide hole;

an outer dust-proof member that is arranged between the sound guide hole and the sound guide channel, the outer dust-proof member having an outer filter hole communicating the sound guide hole with the sound guide channel; and

an inner dust-proof member that is arranged between the outer dust-proof member and the sound guide channel, the inner dust-proof member having an inner filter hole communicating the outer filter hole with the sound guide channel, where the outer filter hole has an aperture size that is larger than an aperture size of the inner filter hole,

wherein the inner dust-proof member further includes a dust-proof body and a plurality of dust-proof threads, the dust-proof body is provided with a plurality of through holes and the plurality of dust-proof threads are covered on the through holes in an interwoven manner to form an inner filter hole.

13. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein a surface of the dust-proof thread is provided with at least one of a water-proof layer and an oil-proof layer.

14. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein an aperture size of the through hole is in a range of 50-300 μm.

15. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein a diameter of the dust-proof thread is in a range of 30-50 nm.

16. The intelligent apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:

an aperture size of the through hole is in a range of 50-300 μm, and

a diameter of the dust-proof thread is in a range of 30-50 nm.
