Abstract

Disclosed are a voice coil and a sounding device using the voice coil. The coil body includes at least two sub coils fixed together in sequence. Each sub coil is provided with an incoming wire end and an outgoing wire end, and forms only one current path from the incoming wire end to the outgoing wire end and flowing in the same direction. The incoming wire ends of the at least two sub coils are welded together to form an incoming area on the coil body. The outgoing wire ends of the at least two sub coils are welded together to form an outgoing area on the coil body. The voice coil and the sounding device can select a wire with a lighter weight and a greater resistance, thereby decreasing a weight of a vibration system of the sounding device and improving a mid-frequency performance of the sounding device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is apparent that, the described embodiments are merely some of rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments acquired by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1-2, the present disclosure discloses a voice coil 100 including a coil body 11. The coil body 11 includes at least two sub coils 111 fixed together in sequence. Each sub coil 111 is provided with an incoming wire end 121 and an outgoing wire end 131. Each sub coil 111 forms only one current path from the incoming wire end 121 to the outgoing wire end 131 and flowing in the same direction. The incoming wire ends 121 of the at least two sub coils 111 are welded together to form an incoming area 12 on the coil body 11. The outgoing wire ends 131 of the at least two sub coils 111 are welded together to form an outgoing area 13 on the coil body 11. In this embodiment, the at least two sub coils 111 are stacked up and down in sequence to form the coil body 11.

[0025] In other embodiments, as a choice, referring to FIG. 3, in another voice coil 100, the at least two sub coils 111 also can be sleeved one another in sequence to form the coil body 11. An incoming area 12 and an outgoing area 13 are formed on the coil body 11 in the same way as the coil body 11.

[0026] In addition, as a choice, each sub coil 111/111 is wound separately, at least one sub coil 111/111 has a different wire material than another sub coil 111/111. In this way, the coil body 11/11 may be formed in different shapes, such as abnormal shapes including steps, grooves and the like, thus the coil body 11/11 can be adapted to different application environments.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 4, the present disclosure also discloses a sounding device 200 including the voice coil 100/100 and a magnetic circuit system 201. The voice coil 100/100 locates in a magnetic gap 202 of the magnetic circuit system 201. The sounding device 200 further includes a flexible printed circuit board 203. The flexible printed circuit board 203 includes a fixed end 204 and a free end 205 extending from the fixed end 204 and connected to the voice coil 100/100. The free end 205 is provided with two pads, one pad 206 is connected to the incoming area, and the other pad 207 is connected to the outgoing area. The fixed end 204 can be fixed to a fixed position of the sounding device 200. The flexible printed circuit board 203 is electrically connected to the voice coil 100/100 and helps to support the voice coil 100/100.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 5, the present disclosure also discloses another voice coil 300 further including an incoming lead 32 and an outgoing lead 33 that are connected to the coil body 31 on the basis of the aforesaid voice coil. The incoming lead 32 is connected to the incoming area 34, and the outgoing lead 33 is connected to the outgoing area 35.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 6, the present disclosure also discloses another sounding device 400 including the voice coil 300. The sounding device 400 further includes a conductive connector 401. The conductive connector 401 is provided with two pads, the incoming lead 32 is connected to one pad 402, and the outgoing lead 33 is connected to the other pad 403. The conductive connector 401 may be a flexible printed circuit board as the aforesaid sounding device 200. The conductive connector 401 is electrically connected to the voice coil 300 and helps to support the voice coil 300. The difference is that the two pads of the conductive connector 401 are connected to the incoming lead 32 and the outgoing lead 33 respectively.

[0031] In the voice coil and the sounding device using the voice coil according to the present disclosure, the coil body of the voice coil includes at least two sub coils fixed together in sequence. Each sub coil is provided with an incoming wire end and an outgoing wire end. Each sub coil forms only one current path from the incoming wire end to the outgoing wire end and flowing in the same direction. The incoming wire ends of the at least two sub coils are welded together to form an incoming area on the coil body. The outgoing wire ends of the at least two sub coils are welded together to form an outgoing area on the coil body. Compared with the related art, in the case that B, L, and the voltage across the voice coil are certain, the voltage across each sub coil conducted by the incoming area and the outgoing area is same as before, and because the divided wire length of each sub coil becomes smaller, the resistance of each sub coil becomes smaller, if obtain the same driving force as before, the resistance of each sub coil can be larger, as a result, a wire with a lighter weight and a greater resistance can be selected, thereby the weight of the vibration system decreases and the mid-frequency performance of the sounding device gets better.

[0032] The above are only embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be pointed out that those of ordinary skill in the art may also make improvements without departing from the ideas of the present disclosure, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
