Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a lamp, and more particularly to a speaker lamp.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ARTS

[0002] Embedded lamps have been widely utilized in most households nowadays because embedded lamps can be directly mounted and embedded into the ceiling for illumination purposes. Such installing style occupies less space in the room and is more artistic, especially for the renovation of lower clearance rooms. In addition, features of embedded lamp include higher luminous efficiency, lower power consumption, easier maintenance, and etc. Besides, with the improvement of people's life qualities, people's appreciations of music have increased as well. Therefore, they tend to set speakers in their active area for better sound effects. People may utilize speakers to provide greater sound effect. Sometimes, they also need speakers to serve in offices or meetings to enhance the sounds. Therefore, the functions of speaker are significant in family reunion, recreation, and etc.

[0003] Unfortunately, lamp and speaker are independent products in the market, so the consumers have to purchase them and install them separately. There is a great limitation comes from such separate installation because it not only increases the installation difficulty, but also strictly restricts the installation space. If there is a device being installed at an artistically improper position, it will affect the result of the entire renovation. Moreover, people can barely consider a layout of a room with both lamps and speakers mounted on the ceiling good-looking.

[0004] Also, there are currently lamps with speaker in the market (such as music bulb, music embedded lamp, music track lamp, and etc.). Nevertheless, the structures of these devices are unideal, which can easily render sound defects or distortions, usually including the following specific situations. First, the front sound chamber and rear sound chamber of the speaker part thereof are not separated in a sealed manner, rendering "sound short" and sound distortion. Second, the cavity portion (acoustical channel) between the speaker part and the sound bore is effectively isolated from the air of the external environment, rendering the sound and energy of the speaker being vainly dispersed to the external air rather than being sent out from the designated sound bore. Third, the speaker part does not have a resonator or vent tube, which hinders low frequency sound generated from being effectively sent out and influences the sound effect of the product.
