An electronic device and a loudspeaker are provided. The loudspeaker includes: a hollow frame for being connected to the electronic device, a vibration means for producing sound through vibration, a voice coil for driving the vibration means and a magnetic circuit having a magnetic property and arranged at a lower end of an interior of the hollow frame, wherein an end face opening is provided at an upper end of the hollow frame; the vibration means covers the end face opening; one end of the voice coil is connected to the vibration means, and the other end can enter a gap of the magnetic circuit to perform reciprocating motion; the vibration means includes a vibrating diaphragm and a top dome fixedly installed in the middle of the vibrating diaphragm; an outer edge of the vibrating diaphragm is connected to an edge of the end face opening.

Disclosed is a vibrating film comprising a vibrating film body, wherein the vibrating film body comprises a central plane part and a peripheral fixing part. A Dome reinforcing part is arranged on the plane part, a first thermosetting adhesive layer is provided between the plane part and the Dome reinforcing part, and the plane part and the Dome reinforcing part are adhered together by thermosetting through the first thermosetting adhesive layer. Further disclosed is an assembling process for the vibrating film.

In some aspects, an electro-acoustic driver includes: a cone having a surface area configured to radiate acoustic energy; a suspension coupled to the cone; and a support structure coupled to the suspension and having an outer linear dimension in a plane of the cone of approximately 6.0 millimeters (mm) or less, wherein the surface area of the cone is at least 49% of an overall cross-sectional area of the electro-acoustic driver in the plane of the cone.

The present invention provides a sound generation device and a preparation method of a metal plastic part. The sound generation device comprises a metal plastic part. The metal plastic part comprises a plastic part and a metal insert that is combined with the plastic part. An oxidation film that is obtained through metal nanocrystallization and a nanopore that is formed in a surface of the oxidation film and has a pore diameter of 20-1,000 nm are arranged on a surface of the metal insert. The nanopore is filled with a resin composition from which the plastic part is made. As the nanopore is filled with the resin composition from which the plastic part is made, the metal insert and the plastic part are in close fit with each other, which greatly enhances the gluing capability of the metal insert and prevents the metal insert and the plastic part which are formed through injection molding from being separated. A length of a portion embedded into the plastic part of the metal insert is greatly reduced, such that transfer of ultrasonic energy is smooth. The metal plastic part is effectively prevented from ultrasonic unmelting. Thus, the waterproofness and the sealing property of the metal plastic part are improved. Accordingly, the performance of the sound generation device is improved.

A damper and a speaker apparatus includes the damper, which suppresses damage to an oscillatory system from an excessive input signal, enabling an efficiency increase of the speaker apparatus. As a damper has a planar surface, undue deformation of the oscillatory system due to an excessive input signal is suppressed, and damage to the oscillatory system can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the deformation of a corrugation portion by a normal input signal is hardly prevented, a reduction in sound pressure of the speaker apparatus with respect to an input signal is suppressed, enabling an increase in efficiency. Furthermore, the planar surface is extended at a height in a thickness direction different from that of an attachment portion. Thus, rising portions are deformed when a voice coil bobbin is oscillated, enabling suppression of rupture of the damper in the vicinity of a boundary between the planar surface and the attachment portion.

A diaphragm for a loudspeaker may include a continuous primary diaphragm having an upper surface and a lower surface, where the primary diaphragm comprises a ring-shaped, flat region having an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The diaphragm may also include a reinforcing ring attached to the upper surface of the primary diaphragm, where the reinforcing ring has an inside diameter and an outside diameter, and where the reinforcing ring is attached to the upper surface of the primary diaphragm such that the inside diameter of the reinforcing ring coincides with the inner diameter of the flat region.

A transducer assembly including a frame, a diaphragm positioned within the frame, a surround connecting the diaphragm to the frame, the surround having a corner section and a plurality of corrugations formed within the corner section, wherein each corrugation of the plurality of corrugations comprises a length dimension perpendicular to a line of maximum stress intersecting a radial axis of the corner section, a voice coil extending from one side of the diaphragm and a magnet assembly having a magnetic gap aligned with the voice coil.

Circumferential mode vibrations, in a diaphragm of an acoustic transducer, are damped by defining at least one elongated opening extending radially along a portion of a length from the central area to the outer perimeter being covered by a material having higher damping properties than the material of the cone.
