Abstract

The invention provides a terminal device having a main body, a sounding assembly and a cover plate. The sounding assembly includes a housing and a sounding body. The housing has an accommodating groove and a first sounding channel. The main body has a second sounding channel and a first sound emitting hole. The cover plate has a first through hole. When the sounding assembly is located at the first position, the sound is propagated to the outside through the first through hole, the second sounding channel and the first sound emitting hole in sequence. When the sounding assembly is located at the second position, the sound is propagated to the outside through the first sounding channel. The present invention improves the problem that the sound effect is affected by airflow sound, piano sound, etc., generated by the terminal device in the speaker mode.

Claims (9)

1. A terminal device, comprising a main body and a sounding assembly assembled on the main body; wherein the sounding assembly comprises a housing movably connected to the main body, and a sounding body accommodated in the housing; the housing includes a sounding surface and a back surface opposite to the sounding surface, and the sounding surface is recessed toward the back surface to form an accommodating groove for accommodating the sounding body, and to form a first sounding channel communicating with the accommodating groove; the main body includes an exposed outer surface, an inner surface facing the sounding surface, and an extending surface extending from the inner surface to the outer surface, a receiving groove for accommodating the sounding assembly is formed by the inner surface and the extending surface; the inner surface is recessed in a direction away from the sounding body to form a second sounding channel extending to the outer surface, and a first sound emitting hole communicating with the second sounding channel is formed on the outer surface correspondingly; the terminal device further includes a cover plate fixed on the inner surface and covering the second sounding channel, and the cover plate is provided with a first through hole penetrating thereof and communicating with the second sounding channel;

the sounding assembly is moved between a first position and a second position in the receiving groove, when the sounding assembly is located at the first position, the accommodating groove is communicated with the first through hole, the first sounding channel is covered by the main body, and the sound generated by the sounding assembly is propagated to the outside of the terminal device through the first through hole, the second sounding channel and the first sound emitting hole in sequence; when the housing drives the sounding body to move in a direction away from the first through hole to the second position, at least part of the housing is exposed outwards the terminal device, the first sounding channel is communicated with the outside of the terminal device, and the sound generated by the sounding assembly is propagated to the outside of the terminal device through the first sounding channel.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the sounding assembly further includes a baffle covered on the housing, the accommodating groove and the first sounding channel are covered by the baffle, and the baffle is arranged and spaced apart from the sounding body for forming a front chamber; the first sounding channel is communicated with the front chamber, the baffle is provided with a second through hole penetrating thereof and communicating with the front chamber; when the sounding assembly is located at the first position, the second through hole is communicated with the first through hole.

3. The terminal device according to claim 2 , wherein the baffle is further provided with second sound emitting holes communicating with the first sounding channel; when the sounding assembly is located at the second position, at least part of the second sound emitting holes are exposed to the main body and communicated with the outside of the terminal device.

4. The terminal device according to claim 3 , wherein the second sound emitting holes are arranged in an array on the baffle.

5. The terminal device according to claim 2 , wherein when the sounding assembly is located at the first position, the second through hole is arranged coaxially with the first through hole, and a diameter of the second through hole is larger than a diameter of the first through hole.

6. The terminal device according to claim 4 , wherein the baffle is recessed on a side away from the sounding body for forming a limiting slot, and the second sound emitting holes are arranged in a matrix form in the limiting slot.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the outer surface includes a front surface opposite to the inner surface, a side surface bending and extending from an edge of the front surface toward the inner surface, and a bottom surface connected to the side surface at an end away from the front surface; the bottom surface corresponding to the sounding assembly is recessed toward the front surface to form the receiving groove, the inner surface is extended to the side surface and connected with the side surface, and the first sound emitting hole is arranged on the side surface.

8. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein when the sounding assembly is located at the first position, the back surface and the bottom surface are spliced and coplanar.
