The damper 130 has an inner edge 131 and an outer edge 133. The outer edge 133 of the damper 130 abuts against the second side edge 123a of the damping ring 120a. The magnetic assembly 140 abuts against the inner edge 131 of the damper 130. The paper cone 110a, the damping ring 120a, the damper 130, and the magnetic assembly 140 define a space S. The voice coil 150 is disposed in the space S and abuts against the paper cone 110a.

[0037] In detail, please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1D at the same time. In this embodiment, the paper cone 110a and the damping ring 120a are specifically an integral structure, which means a seamless connection. The first side edge 121a of the damping ring 120a is vertically connected to the paper cone 110a. That is to say, the paper cone 110a of this embodiment adopts the design without suspension edges, which can not only increase the vibration area, but also be used as a single unit of a coaxial speaker. Furthermore, the paper cone 110a of this embodiment has an opening 115. The voice coil 150 is disposed corresponding to the opening 115 and abuts against the circumference of the opening 115. The opening 115 exposes a surface 151 of the voice coil 150. In addition, the speaker 100a of this embodiment may further include a dustproof cover 160 disposed on the opening 115 of the paper cone 110a to cover the surface 151 of the voice coil 150 exposed by the opening 115. In an embodiment, the dustproof cover 160 is connected to the paper cone 110a through glue connection.

[0038] Next, please refer to FIG. 1C and FIG. 1D. The damper 130 of this embodiment includes a hollow frame body 132 and multiple annular structures 134. The hollow frame body 132 has the inner edge 131 and the outer edge 133. The annular structures 134 are separately disposed on the hollow frame body 132 and located between the inner edge 131 and the outer edge 133. The hollow frame body 132 and the annular structures 134 define a wavy surface W. In an embodiment, the inner edge 131 and the outer edge 133 of the damper 130 are respectively connected to the magnetic assembly 140 and the second side edge 123a of the damping ring 120a through glue connection. Here, an outer diameter D of the outer edge 133 of the hollow frame body 132 of the damper 130 may be greater than or equal to a diameter E of the damping ring 120a.

[0039] In addition, please refer to FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1D. The magnetic assembly 140 of this embodiment includes a yoke 142, a magnet 144, and a washer 146. The yoke 142 abuts against the inner edge 131 of the damper 130. The magnet 144 is disposed in the yoke 142, and the washer 146 is disposed on the magnet 144. In this embodiment, the voice coil 150 has an opening 155. The washer 146 and a part of the magnet 144 are located in the opening 155. Here, the paper cone 110a, the damping ring 120a, the damper 130, and the yoke 142 define the space S. The voice coil 150, the magnet 144, and the washer 146 are located in the space S.

[0040] The damping ring 120a is integrally connected to the paper cone 110a, in which the first side edge 121a of the damping ring 120a is connected to the paper cone 110a, and the second side edge 123a of the damping ring 120a and the magnetic assembly 140 respectively abut against the outer edge 131 and the inner edge 133 of the damper 130. Furthermore, the voice coil 150 is disposed in the space S defined by the paper cone 110a, the damping ring 120a, the damper 130, and the magnetic assembly 140, and abuts against the paper cone 110a. In this way, the voice coil 150 and the paper cone 110a are suspended by the damping ring 120a, which can effectively reduce the overall height of the speaker 100a, improve the stability of the linear (up and down) vibration of the voice coil 150, and prevent the voice coil 150 from jittering and deflecting. In addition, compared with the speaker in the related art that has a cone frame, the speaker 100a of this embodiment does not have a cone frame, so components and processing costs can be reduced.

[0041] It should be noted here that the following embodiments continue to use the reference numerals and some content of the foregoing embodiment, wherein the same reference numerals are adopted to indicate the same or similar elements, and the description of the same technical content is omitted. The description of the omitted parts can be found in the foregoing embodiment and will not be repeated in the following embodiments.

[0042] FIG. 2A is a perspective schematic view of a speaker according to another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 2B is a perspective schematic view of another viewing angle of FIG. 2A. FIG. 2C is a perspective exploded schematic view of FIG. 2A. FIG. 2D is a cross-sectional schematic view of FIG. 2A. Please refer to FIG. 1C, FIG. 1D, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2D at the same time. A speaker 100b of this embodiment is similar to the speaker 100a. The difference between the two is that in this embodiment, the speaker 100b further includes a suspension edge structure 170 and a cone frame 180.

[0043] In detail, please refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2D at the same time. In this embodiment, the suspension edge structure 170 is connected to a paper cone 110b, and the suspension edge structure 170 includes a first connecting portion 172, a second connecting portion 174, and a drum annulus portion 176. The first connecting portion 172 is connected to the paper cone 110b, and the drum annulus portion 176 surrounds and is connected between the first connecting portion 172 and the second connecting portion 174. The drum annulus portion 176 of the suspension edge structure 170 is located outside the space S defined by the paper cone 110b, a damping ring 120b, the damper 130, and the magnetic assembly 140, which means that the damping ring 120b is closer to the voice coil 150 than the drum annulus portion 176 of the suspension edge structure 170, which can effectively improve the stability of the linear (up and down) vibration of the voice coil 150 and prevent the voice coil 150 from jittering and deflecting. Here, a first height H1 of the damping ring 120b is greater than a second height H2 of the drum annulus portion 176. In an embodiment, the first connecting portion 172, the second connecting portion 174, and the drum annulus portion 176 of the suspension edge structure 170 are an integral structure. In an embodiment, the suspension edge structure 170 may also be integrally connected to the paper cone 110b, which means that the paper cone 110b, the damping ring 120b, and the suspension edge structure 170 may be an integral structure.

[0044] Furthermore, please refer to FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2D at the same time. The cone frame 180 of this embodiment has a first assembly port 181 and a second assembly port 183. The first assembly port 181 abuts against the second connecting portion 174 of the suspension edge structure 170. The magnetic assembly 140 passes through the second assembly port 183 and abuts against the inner edge 131 of the damper 130. In an embodiment, the cone frame 180 may be respectively connected to the suspension edge structure 170 and the magnetic assembly 140 through glue connection. Furthermore, the cone frame 180 of this embodiment includes a base portion 182, a surrounding portion 184, and multiple connecting portions 186. The connecting portions 186 are separated from each other and obliquely connected between the base portion 182 and the surrounding portion 184. The surrounding portion 184 has the first assembly port 181, and the base portion 182 has the second assembly port 183. Here, an inner diameter Tl of the surrounding portion 184 of the cone frame 180 is greater than an outer diameter T2 of the base portion 182 of the cone frame 180. A first diameter O1 of the first assembly port 181 is greater than a second diameter O2 of the second assembly port 183. In an embodiment, the base portion 182, the surrounding portion 184, and the connecting portion 186 may be an integral structure. In addition, the orthographic projection of the drum annulus portion 176 of the suspension edge structure 170 on the base portion 182 of the cone frame 180 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the damper 130 on the base portion 182 of the cone frame 180. In an embodiment, the stroke (i.e. linear motion) of the suspension edge structure 170 is smaller than the stroke of the damping ring 120b, and the stroke of the damper 130 is smaller than the stroke of the suspension edge structure 170.

[0045] To sum up, in the design of the speaker of the disclosure, the damping ring is integrally connected to the paper cone. The first side edge of the damping ring is connected to the paper cone. The second side edge of the damping ring and the magnetic assembly respectively abut against the outer edge and the inner edge of the damper. The voice coil is disposed in the space defined by the paper cone, the damping ring, the damper, and the magnetic assembly, and abuts against the paper cone. In this way, the overall height of the speaker can be effectively reduced, the stability of the linear (up and down) vibration of the voice coil can be improved, and the jitter and deflection of the voice coil can be prevented.
