It is formed with a substantially rail-like convex part having a narrower width. The guide convex portion 2g is formed to become wider and thicker as it approaches the end portion in the counterclockwise direction (in the vertical direction in FIG. 3).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the joining surface 3b of the back side bracket 3 is formed with a joining surface recess 3c, and the portion of the back side bracket 3 where the joining surface recess 3c exists is made thin. Yes. The bottom surface 3c1 of the joint surface recess 3c projects from the inner peripheral surface 3c2 of the back side bracket 3 at a predetermined distance from the clockwise end when the back side bracket 3 is disposed with the joint surface 3b facing forward. A semi-cylindrical convex portion 3h is formed. Further, a guide convex portion 3i is formed on the inner peripheral surface 3c2 in parallel with the joint surface 3b in the vicinity of the center between the bottom 3c1 of the joint surface recess 3c and the joint surface 3b. This guide convex portion 3i is provided from the vicinity of the center in the circumferential direction of the joint surface concave portion 3c to the end portion in the clockwise direction when the back bracket 3 is disposed with the joint surface 3b in front. Further, the end surface of the joint surface recess 3c in the counterclockwise direction when the rear side bracket 3 is arranged with the joint surface 3b in front is a slope portion 3j.

  The front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 can be connected by the structure of the protrusion 2e of the front side bracket 2 shown in FIG. 3 and the structure of the joint surface recess 3c of the back side bracket 3 shown in FIG. When connecting the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3, first, the protrusion 2 e is inserted into the joint surface recess 3 c and joined to both the joint surfaces 2 d and 3 b, and then the front side with respect to the back side bracket 3. When the bracket 2 is rotated in the clockwise direction when the front bracket 2 is in front, the fixing protrusions 2g and 3i cause the fixing uneven portion 2f to approach the protruding portion 3h, and the fixing uneven portion 2f One convex portion abuts on the convex portion 3h and gets over the convex portion 3h, and the concave portion between the two convex portions of the fixing concave-convex portion 2f and the convex portion 3h are fitted. Thereby, the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 are connected with a certain click feeling. After the connection, the relative motion between the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 is restricted by the fixing uneven portion 2f and the convex portion 3h in the circumferential direction of the joint surfaces 2d and 3b, and is perpendicular to the joint surfaces 2d and 3b. In a certain direction, it is regulated by the guide convex portions 2g and 3i.

  Next, the assembly of the speaker according to this embodiment will be described.

  First, the cord 5 is arranged as shown in FIG. Next, the mounting bracket 4 is screwed to the back side bracket 3. And the front side bracket 2 is connected with the back side bracket 3 as mentioned above. Thereafter, when the speaker unit 1 is pushed into the hole 2a of the front bracket 2, the engagement concave portion 1g of the speaker unit 1 and the engagement convex portion of the leaf spring 4a of the mounting bracket 4 are fitted to each other. 1 is fixed.

  Thus, the speaker according to this embodiment is assembled. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of the speaker according to the embodiment of the present invention after assembly. The state at the time of product shipment may be either an assembled state as shown in FIG. 5 or an exploded state as shown in FIG.

  Next, the case where the speaker according to this embodiment is disassembled from the assembled state (the state shown in FIG. 5) will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an operation at the time of disassembly of the bracket of the speaker according to the embodiment of the present invention. 6A to 6C are diagrams showing the vicinity of the joint surfaces 2d and 3b of the brackets 2 and 3 as viewed from the inside of the speaker at the time of disassembly, and FIGS. 6D and 6E are disassembly. It is sectional drawing of the speaker at the time.

  In the case of the speaker according to this embodiment, when disassembling, first, the front bracket 2 is rotated counterclockwise with respect to the rear bracket 3 when the front bracket 2 is in front. Thereby, first, the fitting state of the fixing uneven portion 2f and the protruding portion 3h at the fixing position shown in FIG. 6A is released. In that case, one convex part of the uneven | corrugated part 2f for fixation gets over the convex part 3h. Accordingly, the connection between the front side bracket 2 and the rear side bracket 3 is released with a certain click feeling, and the front side bracket 2 and the front side bracket 2 are moved along the joint surfaces 2d and 3b while being regulated by the guide convex portions 2g and 3i. The back bracket 3 moves relatively. As a result, the state shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, when the front bracket 2 rotates counterclockwise when the front bracket 2 is in front, the end portion of the protrusion 2e comes into contact with the inclined surface portion 3j that is the end surface of the joint surface recess 3c. When the end portion of the protrusion 2e comes into contact with the inclined surface portion 3j, a part of the rotational force parallel to the joint surfaces 2d and 3b becomes an urging force that pushes the front side bracket 2 away from the rear side bracket 3. Thereby, the joining surface 2d and the joining surface 3b are separated, and the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 are separated. As a result, the state shown in FIG. When the rotation is further advanced, the protrusion 2e of the front bracket 2 is completely detached from the joint surface recess 3c of the rear bracket 3.

  In this series of operations, an urging force that pushes the front side bracket 2 away from the rear side bracket 3 is generated as described above. At this time, since the front side bracket 2 is sandwiched between the flange 1f of the speaker unit 1 and the rear side bracket 3, when the front side bracket 2 is pushed away from the rear side bracket 3, the flange 1f of the speaker unit 1 is Like the front bracket 2, it receives an urging force. Thereby, the speaker unit 1 moves in a direction away from the rear side bracket 3 together with the front side bracket 2. As a result, the engagement convex portion by the leaf spring 4 a of the mounting bracket 4 is detached from the engagement concave portion 1 g of the speaker unit 1, and the speaker unit 1 and the front side bracket 2 are separated from the rear side bracket 3. As a result, the state shown in FIG.

  In this state, the speaker unit 1 is simply inserted into the hole 2a of the front bracket 2 so that the speaker unit 1 and the front bracket 2 are opposite to each other as shown in FIG. The speaker unit 1 can be easily detached from the front side bracket 2 simply by pulling on the front side bracket 2.

  Thus, the speaker according to this embodiment is disassembled. As described above, when disassembling, the first operation of twisting the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 to rotate the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 in the opposite directions, and the speaker unit 1. The speaker is simply disassembled into the speaker unit 1, the front side bracket 2, and the back side bracket 3 by only two operations such as a second operation of pulling the front side bracket 2 and the front side bracket 2 in opposite directions.

  Next, attachment of the speaker according to this embodiment will be described. Various methods can be adopted as the attachment method.

  As a first method, when the speaker is attached to the structure 91 using only the adhesive plate 7, the speaker is mounted between the mounting flat portion 3 a and the structure 91 in the assembled state as shown in FIG. 5. The speaker 7 may be fixed to the structure 91 by inserting the adhesive plate 7.

  As a second method, when the speaker is attached to the structure 91 with screws 8 and nuts 9, the speaker is first disassembled as described above, that is, the speaker unit 1 and the front bracket 2. The back side bracket 3 and the mounting bracket 4 are separated from each other, and the back side bracket 3 and the structure 91 are tightened by inserting the screw 8 into the screw hole 3f and the structure 91 and screwing it into the nut 9. Thereby, the back side bracket 3 is fixed to the structure 91.

  Next, the mounting bracket 4 is fixed to the back side bracket 3 by screwing with the screw 6 and the screw hole 3e. Since the subsequent procedure is the same as that in the above-described assembly, the description thereof is omitted.

  In this way, the speaker is fixed to the structure 91. FIG. 7 is a side view showing a state after the speaker according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached. As shown in FIG. 7, the mounting plane part 3 a is pressed against the surface of the structure 91 by screwing with screws 8 and nuts 9, so that the mounting plane part 3 a and the surface of the structure 91 are parallel. For this reason, the speaker unit 1 faces a predetermined angle (elevation angle) with respect to the surface of the structure 91.

  By the method as described above, the speaker having the spherical wave horn baffle can be attached to the structure 91 in a compact state.

  However, some users may have a desire to make the speaker inconspicuous in order to secure a visual field or reduce a sense of clutter. In that case, according to the speaker according to the present embodiment, it is possible to attach only the speaker unit 1 and the front side bracket 2 without using the back side bracket 3. Thereby, a speaker can be attached in a more compact state.

  In the third method of attaching only the speaker unit 1 and the front side bracket 2, the mounting bracket 4 is first screwed to the structure 91 in a disassembled state. Next, with the speaker unit 1 inserted into the front bracket 2, the engagement recess 1 g of the speaker unit 1 and the engagement protrusion by the leaf spring 4 a of the mounting bracket 4 are engaged. Thereby, the speaker unit 1 and the front side bracket 2 are fixed to the structure 91.

  At that time, the projection 2e of the front bracket 2 may interfere with the mounting. In that case, the protrusion 2e of the front side bracket 2 may be provided on the back side bracket 3, and the joint surface recess 3c of the back side bracket 3 may be provided on the front side bracket 2. Thereby, since the part which protrudes from the joint surface 2d of the front side bracket 2 is lose | eliminated, attachment can be performed easily.

  Alternatively, only the speaker unit 1 may be attached in the same manner without using the front bracket 2.

  When only the speaker unit 1 is attached, the speaker unit 1 is inserted into a hole formed in the structure 91 and the cover is engaged and connected to the structure 91 outside the speaker unit 1. The unit 1 may be fixed to the structure 91.

  As described above, the speaker according to the above embodiment is provided on a part of the outer surface of the speaker unit 1, the brackets 2 and 3 which are attached to the speaker unit and become the spherical wave horn baffle, and the bracket 3 which becomes the spherical wave horn baffle. And a mounting flat portion 3a to be formed. Thus, the speaker device for fixing the speaker having the substantially spherical baffle to the structure 91 while sufficiently utilizing the brackets 2 and 3 for attaching the speaker unit 1 as a spherical wave horn baffle to ensure good acoustic characteristics. The overall size can be smaller.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a measurement result of directivity characteristics of the speaker according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 8, the distribution of the sound pressure level SPL with respect to each angle from the speaker is shown as a graph. In the graph, one scale of a broken line in the radial direction corresponds to 5 decibels, and the outermost circle indicates decibels. The numerical value attached to the outermost circle indicates the angle from the speaker axis. The solid line sound pressure level characteristic in the figure is based on an example of the speaker according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the broken line sound pressure level characteristic is based on a conventional product. 8A shows the characteristics at 4 kHz, and FIG. 8B shows the characteristics at 5 kHz. From FIG. 8, it can be seen that according to the loudspeaker according to the embodiment of the present invention, the sound pressure level is kept almost constant in a wide angle range, and good acoustic characteristics can be obtained.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, since the attachment plane part 3a is formed only in the back side bracket 3, the influence on the acoustic characteristic of the attachment plane part 3a is reduced.

  Furthermore, in the bracket structure of the speaker according to the above embodiment, the front side bracket 2 connected to the speaker unit 1, the back side bracket 3 constituting the spherical wave horn baffle together with the front side bracket 2, and the speaker unit 1 on the back side. When the mounting bracket 4 serving as a locking member for locking to the side bracket 3 and the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 rotate along the joint surfaces 2d and 3b, the mounting bracket 4 and the speaker unit 1 are locked. A release mechanism (flange 1f, protrusion 2e, and slope portion 3j of the joint surface recess 3c) for release is provided. Thereby, a speaker can be easily disassembled only by twisting the front side bracket 2 and the back side bracket 3 in directions opposite to each other. Since it can be easily disassembled, it can be easily attached in various ways.

  Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, the mounting bracket 4 used inside the brackets 2 and 3 can be attached to and detached from the back side bracket 3 and is attached to the speaker unit 1 after being detached from the back side bracket 3. In this case, only the speaker unit 1 or only the speaker unit 1 and the front side bracket 2 are attached to the structure 91. Thereby, the attachment method suitable for a user's needs is realizable, without using another member.

  Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, the engagement recess 1g is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 1d protruding to the back side of the speaker unit 1, and the engagement protrusion by the leaf spring 4a of the mounting bracket 4 is , Engage with the engaging recess 1g. Thereby, since the mounting bracket 4 is hidden behind the cylindrical portion 1d, the mounting bracket 4 can be made inconspicuous when only the speaker unit 1 is mounted with the mounting bracket 4.

  The above embodiment is a preferred example of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. .

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the shape of the protrusion 2e and the joint surface recess 3c is a shape obtained by horizontally reversing the shape along the circumferential direction, and the front-side bracket is rotated in the opposite direction to the case of the above-described embodiment. 2 and the rear side bracket 3 may be connected and separated.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the one end surface of the joint surface recessed part 3c is made into the slope part 3j, in addition to the slope part 3j of the joint surface recessed part 3c, the end surface by the side of the convex part 2g for guides in the processus | protrusion 2e is a slope. It is good.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the engaging recess 1g is provided in the cylindrical portion 1d of the speaker unit 1 and the engaging protrusion is provided in the mounting bracket 4, but the engaging portion 4 is engaged with the cylindrical portion 1d of the speaker unit 1. A convex portion may be provided, and the engaging concave portion may be formed by the leaf spring 4 a of the mounting bracket 4.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, you may use the resin-made fixtures instead of the attachment metal fitting 4. FIG. Further, a fixture such as the fixture 4 may be formed integrally with the rear side bracket 3.

  Further, in the above embodiment, instead of the fixing uneven portion 2f of the front bracket 2 and the convex portion 3h of the rear bracket 3, a hole is provided in the protrusion 2e of the front bracket 2, and the joining surface of the rear bracket 3 is provided. You may make it provide the nail | claw which fits into the hole in the recessed part 3c.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the slope part 3j of the back side bracket 3 is made into a predetermined angle (for example, 30 degree | times, 45 degree | times, 60 degree | times) with respect to the bottom 3c2. When the predetermined angle is reduced, the speaker unit 1 and the front bracket 2 can be pushed apart with a small rotational force, but a relatively large rotational angle is required. Conversely, when the predetermined angle is increased, the speaker unit 1 and the front bracket 2 can be pushed apart with a small rotation angle, but a relatively large rotational force is required. Therefore, this angle may be determined so that it is easy for the user to operate in consideration of the mechanical resistance due to the fitting between the engaging concave portion 1g of the speaker unit 1 and the engaging convex portion of the mounting bracket 4.

  In the above embodiment, only one set of the projection 2e and the joint surface recess 3c is provided on the two brackets 2 and 3, but two or more sets may be provided on the joint surfaces 2d and 3b. When two or more sets are provided, the protrusions 2e and the bonding surface recesses 3c are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the bonding surfaces 2d and 3b.
