(5) FIG. 4 shows frequency response curves of a speaker of the present disclosure having a sound-absorbing material including or not including an activated carbon fiber.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

(6) The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in connection with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it will be apparent that the embodiments described here are merely a part, not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(7) Referring to FIG. 2, a speaker of the present disclosure includes a housing 1 with an accommodating space, a sounding unit 2 placed in the housing 1, and a rear cavity 3 defined by the sounding unit 2 and the housing 1, and the rear cavity 3 is filled with a sound-absorbing material.

(8) The sound-absorbing material includes an adsorbent material and a thermal conductive material and the thermal conductive material is uniformly dispersed in the sound-absorbing material.

(9) The adsorbent material includes at least one of a molecular sieve, activated carbon, a metal-organic framework material and a polymer framework material. The molecular sieve has a pore size generally between 0.4 nm and 1.0 nm and a specific surface area between 300 m.sup.2/g and 1000 m.sup.2/g. The molecular sieve includes at least one of a FER-structure molecular sieve, an MFI-structure molecular sieve, a BEA-structure molecular sieve, or a MEL-structure molecular sieve.

(10) The thermal conductive material includes a carbon fiber material and the carbon fiber material has excellent thermal conductivity. Moreover, the thermal conductive carbon fiber material has a filamentary fiber shape. After being filled into the sound-absorbing material, the carbon fibers are likely to overlap each other to form a thermal conductive network structure, so that the sound-absorbing material has good thermal conductivity. After the sound-absorbing material is filled into a rear cavity 3 of a speaker, a speaker with better heat dissipation performance can be obtained. Moreover, after being filled into the sound-absorbing material, the filamentous carbon fiber material occupies a small volume and is unlikely to block micropores in the surface of the absorbent material in the sound-absorbing material, which causes little effect on the acoustic performance of the sound-absorbing material.

(11) It should be noted that the weight ratio of the carbon fiber material in the sound-absorbing material needs to be maintained in a range of 0.05% to 10%. If the content of the carbon fiber material is excessively low, it is not conducive to improving the thermal conductivity of the sound-absorbing material. An excessive air content will cause reduction of the acoustic performance of the sound-absorbing material. In an embodiment, the weight ratio of the carbon fiber material in the sound-absorbing material needs to be maintained within a range of 0.1% to 5.0%.

(12) Further, an average diameter of the carbon fiber material is within a range of 1 nm to 50 um. Optionally, the average diameter of the carbon fiber material is within a range of 10 nm to 20 um.

(13) Further, a length-diameter ratio of the carbon fiber material is not less than 5. When the length-diameter ratio of the carbon fiber material is greater than 5, the carbon fibers are more likely to overlap each other to form a thermal conductive network structure, so that the sound-absorbing material has better thermal conductivity. On the contrary, the fiber morphology of the carbon fiber material is closer to particles, which is not conducive to the overlapping of the carbon fibers to form a thermal conductive network structure.

(14) Further, the thermal conductive material further includes a non-carbon fiber material having a weight ratio of 0 to 1% in the sound-absorbing material. The non-carbon fiber material includes at least one of boron nitride, boron carbide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, and graphene. Based on experiments, it is found that adding the non-carbon fiber material in the above ratio to the sound-absorbing material can work together with the carbon fiber material to improve thermal conductivity. When the addition of the non-carbon fiber material is higher than the above ratio, since the content of the non-carbon fiber material is so high that the non-carbon fiber material occupies more volume, resulting in the loss of the acoustic performance of the sound-absorbing material.

(15) Further, the adsorbent material and the thermal conductive material may also be bonded and formed into sound-absorbing particles by an adhesive (i.e., the sound-absorbing material exists in the form of sound-absorbing particles). The adhesive includes at least one of a polyacrylic adhesive, a polyurethane adhesive, an epoxy resin adhesive, and a cellulose adhesive.

(16) As shown in FIG. 3, the sound-absorbing particles are granular. However, it should be noted that, in addition to granular, the sound-absorbing particles may also be in the form of blocks or flakes.

(17) Based on experiments, it is found that if the particle size of the sound-absorbing material is less than 0.1 mm, gaps between the particles will be small, resulting in a large air flow resistance of the sound-absorbing material; if the particles are greater than 1 mm, an air diffusion path in the particles will be too large, which is not conducive to exerting the sound-absorbing performance of the sound-absorbing material. Therefore, the particle size of the sound-absorbing material is optionally within a range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

(18) Further, the carbon fiber material includes at least one of a nano carbon fiber material and an activated carbon fiber material.

(19) The thermal conductivity of the nano carbon fiber material can be greater than 1500 W/mK.

(20) In addition to high thermal conductivity, the activated carbon fiber material also has a large number of uniform micropores in the surface. The pore size of the micropores is within a range of 1 nm to 4 nm, and the specific surface area is greater than 1000 m.sup.2/g. Therefore, similar to a molecular sieve, the activated carbon fiber material also has excellent adsorption capacity. Therefore, due to use of the activated carbon fiber as a heat-conducting material, a heat dissipation capacity can be provided, and its micropores and huge specific surface area can simultaneously provide a certain adsorption capacity. FIG. 4 shows frequency response curves of a speaker of the present disclosure having a sound-absorbing material including or not including an activated carbon fiber. The volume of the rear cavity 3 of a speaker model is 1 cc, curve I indicates a frequency response curve of the speaker without the sound-absorbing material including the activated carbon fiber, and curve II is a frequency response curve of the speaker with the sound-absorbing material including the activated carbon fiber. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that after the addition of the activated carbon fiber material, the speaker shows a higher sound pressure level in a low frequency range, indicating that the activated carbon fiber material has an acoustic effect similar to that of a molecular sieve, activated carbon or other materials.

(22) A first preparation method specifically includes the following steps:

(111) 2. After being filled into the sound-absorbing material, the filamentous fiber material occupies a small volume and is unlikely to block micropores in the surface of the absorbent material in the sound-absorbing material, which causes little adverse effect on the acoustic performance of the sound-absorbing material.

(112) The above are only the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted here that for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present disclosure and these improvements all belong to the scope of the present disclosure.
