[0042] EPROM39は、周知の不揮発性メモリである。 EPROM39は、後述するように CP U40がモータ 12, 22を制御してスピーカ 5の位置を調整する際に、該スピーカ 5から 出力する音声情報を記憶している。例えば、 EPROM39は、前述した音声情報とし て「ピー」という音声に応じた情報を記憶している。前述した音声情報は、後述するよ うに、スピーカ 5のドアパネル 2に対する相対的な位置を調整する際に前述したスピ 一力 5から出力される。また、 EPROM39は、前述した記憶用スィッチ 34と読み出し 用スィッチ 35毎にスピーカ 5の位置を示す情報を記憶するための領域を設けている 。 EPROM39は、前述した領域に対応する記憶用スィッチ 34が操作された際に、該 記憶用スィッチ 34が操作された時点のスピーカ 5の位置を示す情報が CPU40によ つて書き込まれる。 [0042] The EPROM 39 is a known nonvolatile memory. The EPROM 39 stores audio information output from the speaker 5 when the CPU 40 controls the motors 12 and 22 to adjust the position of the speaker 5 as will be described later. For example, the EPROM 39 stores information corresponding to the voice “Pee” as the voice information described above. The audio information described above is output from the above-described force 5 when adjusting the relative position of the speaker 5 with respect to the door panel 2 as will be described later. In addition, the EPROM 39 has an area for storing information indicating the position of the speaker 5 for each of the storage switch 34 and the read switch 35 described above. In the EPROM 39, when the storage switch 34 corresponding to the above-described area is operated, information indicating the position of the speaker 5 at the time when the storage switch 34 is operated is displayed by the CPU 40. Is written.
[0043] CPU40は、 ROM38に記憶された動作プログラムやリモコン 7からの命令及び前述 したポテンショメータ 14, 24の検出結果に基づいて、前述した各モータ 12, 22を制 御する。  The CPU 40 controls each of the motors 12 and 22 described above based on the operation program stored in the ROM 38, the command from the remote controller 7 and the detection results of the potentiometers 14 and 24 described above.
[0044] CPU40は、図 4中のステップ S1で、スピーカユニット 1の電源がオンにされたり、前 述した自動車のィグニッシヨンスィッチがオンにされると、ステップ S2に進む。なお、ス テツプ S1では、スピーカ 5はカバー 4内に収容されている。 CPU40は、ステップ S2で 複数の読み出し用スィッチ 35のうち一つの読み出し用スィッチ 35が操作された力否 かを判定する。読み出し用スィッチ 35が操作されたと判定すると、ステップ S3に進み 、読み出し用スィッチ 35が操作されていないと判定すると、ステップ S4に進む。  The CPU 40 proceeds to step S2 when the power of the speaker unit 1 is turned on in step S1 in FIG. 4 or the automobile ignition switch described above is turned on. In step S1, the speaker 5 is housed in the cover 4. The CPU 40 determines whether or not one of the plurality of read switches 35 has been operated in step S2. If it is determined that the read switch 35 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S3. If it is determined that the read switch 35 has not been operated, the process proceeds to step S4.
[0045] ステップ S3では、 CPU40は、操作された読み出し用スィッチ 35に対応した EPRO M39の前述した領域に書き込まれているスピーカ 5の位置を示す情報を読み出す。 そして、 CPU40は、前述した読み出した情報通りに、前述したモータ 12, 22を動作 させて、スピーカ 5をカバー 4内から該カバー 4の外に移動させて、前述した読み出し た情報通りの位置に位置付けて、ステップ S6に進む。このように、 CPU40は、 EPR OM39に記憶されたスピーカ 5が音声を出力する際のドアパネル 2に対する相対的 な位置に、該スピーカ 5を位置付ける。  In step S3, the CPU 40 reads information indicating the position of the speaker 5 written in the aforementioned area of the EPRO M39 corresponding to the operated read switch 35. Then, the CPU 40 operates the motors 12 and 22 as described above to move the speaker 5 from the inside of the cover 4 to the outside of the cover 4 to the position as described above. Position and go to step S6. In this way, the CPU 40 positions the speaker 5 at a position relative to the door panel 2 when the speaker 5 stored in the EPR OM 39 outputs sound.
[0046] ステップ S4では、 CPU40は、 ROM38に記憶されている音声情報を読み出して、 該音声情報とおり音声電流をスピーカ 5に供給する。そして、 CPU40は、スピーカ 5 力 前述した音声情報を出力させて、ステップ S5に進む。  [0046] In step S4, the CPU 40 reads the audio information stored in the ROM 38 and supplies the audio current to the speaker 5 in accordance with the audio information. Then, the CPU 40 outputs the above-described audio information from the speaker 5 and proceeds to step S5.
[0047] ステップ S5では、 CPU40は、リモコン 7のジョイスティック 33が操作されているか否 かを判定する。リモコン 7のジョイスティック 33が操作されていると判定すると、ステツ プ S4に戻る。リモコン 7のジョイスティック 33が操作されていないと判定すると、ステツ プ S6に進む。  [0047] In step S5, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the joystick 33 of the remote controller 7 is being operated. If it is determined that the joystick 33 on the remote control 7 is being operated, the process returns to step S4. If it is determined that the joystick 33 on the remote control 7 has not been operated, the process proceeds to step S6.
[0048] こうして、ステップ S4とステップ S5とを、ジョイスティック 33が操作されなくなるまで、 繰り返すことで、聴取者が希望する位置にスピーカ 5を位置付けることができる。また 、前述したリモコン 7の表示部 32には、前述したスピーカ 5のドアパネル 2に対する相 対的な位置が表示されている。さらに、 CPU40は、スピーカ 5のドアパネル 2に対す る相対的な位置を調整するに、前記スピーカ 5から前述した音声情報を出力させる。 [0048] In this way, by repeating Step S4 and Step S5 until the joystick 33 is not operated, the speaker 5 can be positioned at a position desired by the listener. Further, the relative position of the speaker 5 with respect to the door panel 2 is displayed on the display unit 32 of the remote controller 7 described above. Furthermore, the CPU 40 is connected to the door panel 2 of the speaker 5. In order to adjust the relative position, the above-described audio information is output from the speaker 5.
[0049] ステップ S6では、 CPU40は、スピーカユニット 1の電源がオフにされたり、前述した 自動車のィグニッシヨンスィッチがオフにされると、ステップ S7に進む。 CPU40は、ス テツプ S7で、前述したモータ 12, 22を制御して、スピーカ 5をカバー 4内に収容する 。こうして、 CPU40は、スピーカ 5からの音声の出力を停止する際に、移動部 6にスピ 一力 5をカバー 4内に収容させる。  [0049] In step S6, when the power of the speaker unit 1 is turned off or the above-described automobile ignition switch is turned off, the CPU 40 proceeds to step S7. At step S7, the CPU 40 controls the motors 12 and 22 described above to accommodate the speaker 5 in the cover 4. In this way, the CPU 40 causes the moving unit 6 to accommodate the spinning force 5 in the cover 4 when stopping outputting the sound from the speaker 5.
[0050] また、前記 CPU40は、ステップ S5とステップ S6との間に、記憶用スィッチ 34が操 作されると、該操作された記憶用スィッチ 34に対応する EPROM39の領域に、スピ 一力 5の位置を示す情報を記憶する。  [0050] Further, when the storage switch 34 is operated between the step S5 and the step S6, the CPU 40 applies a force to the area of the EPROM 39 corresponding to the operated storage switch 34. Information indicating the position of is stored.
[0051] 次に、前述した構成のスピーカユニット 1の動作を説明する。まず、イダ-ッシヨンス イッチがオンにされたりスピーカユニット 1の電源がオンにされる。そして、聴取者がリ モコン 7の読み出し用スィッチ 35を操作すると、 EPROM39に記憶された位置にスピ 一力 5が位置付けられる。  [0051] Next, the operation of the speaker unit 1 configured as described above will be described. First, the idling switch is turned on or the power of the speaker unit 1 is turned on. Then, when the listener operates the read switch 35 of the remote controller 7, the spinning force 5 is positioned at the position stored in the EPROM 39.
[0052] また、聴取者がリモコン 7のジョイスティック 33を操作すると、スピーカ 5から前述した 音声情報が出力されながら、ジョイスティック 33の操作に応じて、スピーカ 5が移動す る。このときのスピーカ 5の位置は、リモコン 7の表示部 32に表示される。また、聴取者 は、前述した音声情報を聴きながら、最適な音質が得られる位置にスピーカ 5を位置 付けることとなる。そして、必要に応じて、記憶用スィッチ 34が操作される。さらに、ィ グ-ッシヨンスィッチがオンにされたりスピーカユニット 1の電源がオフにされると、スピ 一力 5がカバー 4内に収容される。  [0052] When the listener operates the joystick 33 of the remote controller 7, the sound information described above is output from the speaker 5, and the speaker 5 moves according to the operation of the joystick 33. The position of the speaker 5 at this time is displayed on the display unit 32 of the remote controller 7. In addition, the listener positions the speaker 5 at a position where the optimum sound quality can be obtained while listening to the above-described audio information. Then, the storage switch 34 is operated as necessary. Further, when the signal switch is turned on or the power of the speaker unit 1 is turned off, the spinning force 5 is accommodated in the cover 4.
[0053] 本実施例によれば、スピーカ 5をドアパネル 2に対する相対的な位置を変更可能に 、スピーカ 5をドアパネル 2に対して移動自在に支持する移動部 6を設けることで、音 声を出力する際に音質が最適な位置にスピーカ 5を位置付けることができる。こうする ことで、音声を出力しない際にスピーカ 5の振動板などの前方に障害物が設けられて いても、音声を出力する際に音質が最適な位置にスピーカ 5を位置付けて、比較的 狭い室内などに設置されるスピーカ 5でも聴取者に十分な音質の音声情報を伝える ことを可能としている。  [0053] According to the present embodiment, the relative position of the speaker 5 with respect to the door panel 2 can be changed, and the moving unit 6 that supports the speaker 5 with respect to the door panel 2 is provided to output sound. The speaker 5 can be positioned at a position where the sound quality is optimal. In this way, even when an obstacle is provided in front of the diaphragm of the speaker 5 when the sound is not output, the speaker 5 is positioned at a position where the sound quality is optimal when the sound is output. Speakers 5 installed indoors can also convey sufficient sound quality to listeners.
[0054] また、移動部 6にスピーカ 5の移動方向を指示するリモコン 7を備えているので、聴 取者の望む位置にスピーカ 5を確実に位置付けることができる。即ち、聴取者がスピ 一力 5からの音声を聴取しながら、スピーカ 5からの音声の音質が最適な位置に、該 スピーカ 5を位置付けることができる。 [0054] Further, since the moving unit 6 is provided with a remote controller 7 for instructing the moving direction of the speaker 5, The speaker 5 can be reliably positioned at the position desired by the user. That is, the speaker 5 can be positioned at a position where the sound quality of the sound from the speaker 5 is optimal while the listener listens to the sound from the force 5.
[0055] さらに、リモコン 7にスピーカ 5の位置を表示する表示部 32を設けているので、スピ 一力 5がドアパネル 2などに隠れるように配置されて ヽる場合などでも、該スピーカ 5を 所望の位置に確実に位置付けることができる。  [0055] Further, since the remote controller 7 is provided with the display unit 32 for displaying the position of the speaker 5, the speaker 5 is desired even when the speaker 5 is placed so as to be hidden behind the door panel 2 or the like. It can be positioned reliably at the position.
[0056] また、音声を出力する際に音質が最適な該スピーカ 5のドアパネル 2に対する相対 的な位置を記憶する EPROM39と、音声を出力する際に EPROM39に記憶された 位置にスピーカ 5を位置付ける CPU40と、を備えているので、聴取者の操作を増や すことなぐスピーカ 5を音質が最適な位置にスピーカ 5を位置付けることができる。  [0056] Further, EPROM 39 for storing the relative position of speaker 5 with the optimum sound quality when outputting sound relative to door panel 2 and CPU 40 for positioning speaker 5 at the position stored in EPROM 39 for outputting sound. Therefore, the speaker 5 can be positioned at a position where the sound quality is optimal without increasing the operation of the listener.
[0057] また、 CPU40がスピーカ 5の位置を調整する際に EPROM39に記憶された音声 情報を出力するので、聴取者は、スピーカ 5からの音声情報を聴取しながら、スピー 力 5の位置を調整できる。したがって、より確実に最適な位置にスピーカ 5を位置付け ることがでさる。  [0057] Further, since the CPU 40 outputs the audio information stored in the EPROM 39 when adjusting the position of the speaker 5, the listener adjusts the position of the speech force 5 while listening to the audio information from the speaker 5. it can. Therefore, it is possible to position the speaker 5 at an optimal position more reliably.
[0058] さらに、スピーカ 5が音声を出力しない状態では、カバー 4内に収容されるので、非 使用時にスピーカ 5が破損することを防止できるとともに、自動車の乗員の乗り降りを スピーカ 5が妨げることを防止できる。  [0058] Further, when the speaker 5 does not output sound, it is housed in the cover 4, so that the speaker 5 can be prevented from being damaged when not in use, and the speaker 5 can prevent the passenger from getting on and off the vehicle. Can be prevented.
[0059] 要するに、聴取者の聞く位置(リスニングポジション)に対して、スピーカ 5の位置が 調整されることによって、スピーカ 5とリスニングポジションとの間に障害物がある場合 などであっても、最適な音調整を行うことができる。また、調整した位置を EPROM39 に記憶することによって、リスニングポジションを変更する場合にも、記憶された位置 を読み出すことによって、速やかに対応することができる。  [0059] In short, by adjusting the position of the speaker 5 with respect to the listening position (listening position) of the listener, it is optimal even when there is an obstacle between the speaker 5 and the listening position. Sound adjustment can be performed. Moreover, even if the listening position is changed by storing the adjusted position in the EPROM 39, it is possible to respond quickly by reading the stored position.

That is, the motor 43 rotates the speaker 5 around its axis.
[0061] また、図 6に示すように、移動部 6の第 1移動板 15とドアパネル 2との間に、軸芯がド ァパネル 2の表面に対して直交(交差)するモータ 44を設けても良い。なお、図 6にお いて、前述した実施例と同一部分には、同一符号を付して説明を省略する。第 1駆動 部 9のモータ 12やリニアガイド 11を設けずに、第 1移動板 15を前述したモータ 44の 軸芯回りに回転させる。こうすることで、第 2駆動部 10を用いて、スピーカ 5を鉛直方 向と水平方向との双方に交差する方向に移動できるので、より多様な位置にスピーカ 5を位置付けることができる。 [0061] Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the shaft core is inserted between the first moving plate 15 of the moving unit 6 and the door panel 2. A motor 44 orthogonal to (crossing) the surface of the panel 2 may be provided. In FIG. 6, the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Without providing the motor 12 and the linear guide 11 of the first drive unit 9, the first moving plate 15 is rotated around the axis of the motor 44 described above. By doing so, the speaker 5 can be moved in the direction intersecting both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction by using the second drive unit 10, so that the speaker 5 can be positioned at more various positions.
[0062] さらに、前述した実施形態では、移動部 6が第 1駆動部 9と第 2駆動部 10との双方を 備えている。し力しながら、本発明では、移動部 6が第 1駆動部 9と第 2駆動部 10との 少なくとも一方を備えて 、れば良 、。  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the moving unit 6 includes both the first drive unit 9 and the second drive unit 10.
