MINIATURE LOUDSPEAKER

Abstract

A loudspeaker module emitting sound at a lateral side comprises a loudspeaker unit and a module housing comprising a lower module housing, a middle module housing and an upper module housing. A space formed by the loudspeaker unit, the middle module housing and the lower module housing is a rear sound cavity. A space formed by the loudspeaker unit, the middle module housing and the upper module housing is a front sound cavity. The loudspeaker module further comprises a cover plate which forms a cavity together with the upper module housing. The cavity is communicated with the rear sound cavity through a conducting hole. By utilizing the loudspeaker module of the present invention, superfluous space of the upper module housing can be converted into the rear sound cavity, and therefore the size of the rear sound cavity is increased, and the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker module is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Referring to FIG. 1, a micro loudspeaker according to the present invention comprises a magnetic circuit system 11, a vibration system 12 and a support system. The magnetic circuit system 11 comprises a yoke 1, a magnet 2 accommodated within the yoke 1, and a washer 3 fixed to the surface of the magnet 2. The vibration system 12 comprises a voice coil 4 and a diaphragm 5. The support system comprises a housing 7 and a front cover 8 combined with the housing 7. The magnetic circuit system 11 and the vibration system 12 are accommodated within a cavity formed by the housing 7 and the front cover 8. The yoke 1 comprises a base portion extending in the horizontal direction and side portions protruding in the vertical direction, wherein two major axis side portions are disposed symmetrically about the major axis of the base portion of the yoke 1, and two minor axis side portions are disposed symmetrically about the minor axis of the base portion of the yoke 1. Sound holes 9 are symmetrically provided at the two minor axis side portions of the yoke 1, and the positions of the housing 7 which correspond to the sound holes 9 are provided with avoidance structures.

[0020] For the micro loudspeaker, the position of the sound hole 9 is improved by providing the sound holes on the minor axis side portions of the yoke 1 instead of on the bottom plane of the product according to the above-described technical solution. On one hand, this may reduce the loss of the magnetic induction lines of the magnetic circuit system 11, thus ensuring product performance; on the other hand, when the micro loudspeaker is assembled during overall machine assembly, the bottom plane of the product is flush with the assembly plane, and the sound holes 9 are provided at the minor axis side portions of the yoke 1, and avoidance structures are provided at the positions of the housing 7 which correspond to the sound holes 9, so as to prevent the sound holes 9 from being blocked after completion of product assembly and ensure the effect of the installation test curve.

[0021] In a specific implementation, all parts of the magnetic circuit system 11 are fixed with each other by adhesive bonding, wherein a certain distance exists between the magnet 2 and the yoke 1, so as to form a magnetic gap, and the end parts of the voice coil 4 close to the magnetic circuit system 11 is suspended in the magnetic gap. On the other hand, the housing 7 is typically injection-molded with an electric connecting part which is electrically connected with the lead wires of the voice coil 4 inside the micro loudspeaker and is electrically connected with external circuits at the same time, so that the current signals of the external circuits can be transmitted to the voice coil 4 through the electric connecting part. After receiving the current signals, the voice coil 4 may move so as to cut magnetic induction lines back and forth under the action of the electromagnetic field, thereby driving the vibration of the diaphragm 5 connected thereto.

[0022] In the present embodiment, the minor axis side portion of the yoke 1 has a rectangular structure formed by four upright edges. The bottom part of the sound hole 9 is located at an upper portion of the upright edge at the inner side of the minor axis side portion of the yoke 1. The top part of the sound hole 9 is lower than the upright edge at the outer side of the minor axis side portion of the yoke 1. Both ends of the sound hole 9 are located in the space defined by two lateral sides of the minor axis side portion of the yoke 1.

[0023] In the present embodiment, the yoke 1 and the sound hole 9 are rectangular.

[0024] In addition, in the present embodiment, the sound hole 9 is covered with damper 10 so as to adjust the acoustic performance and prevent the invasion of dust.

[0025] In the present embodiment, a reinforcing member 6 is bonded to the intermediate position of the diaphragm 5. The inner edge of the diaphragm 5 surrounds the outer periphery of the reinforcing member 6, and generally, the reinforcing member 6 preferably has a rigid composite layer structure, mainly for enhancing performance of the product at high frequency.

[0026] The above mentioned are only embodiments of the present invention and are not for restricting the present invention, thus the equivalent modification or variation made by those skilled in the art according to the present invention should be incorporated into the scope of protection recorded in the claims.
