The present invention relates to electro-acoustic transducers, and more particularly, to an acoustic device used in electronic speaker box products.
With the rapid development of wireless communication technologies, mobile phone and other consumer electronic products are widely used. Acoustic devices are also known as speakers or horns, and are often used in these products. Specifically, they are used in speaker boxes to convert audio signals into sound for playback. As customers' requirements for consumer electronic products increase, more requirements are given to acoustic devices.
In related art, the acoustic device usually includes a frame, a vibration system supported on the frame, and a magnetic circuit system having a magnetic gap. The magnetic system drives the vibration system to generate sounds. The vibration system includes a diaphragm fixed to the frame and a voice coil at least partially located in the magnetic gap. In order to improve a performance of the acoustic device and output a larger sound pressure level (SPL), a double voice coil can be used as a driver in the acoustic device, that is, an inner voice coil is disposed inside the conventional voice coil. In this way, when the acoustic device is working, the two voice coils work at the same time, providing a larger driving force to the diaphragm, which can effectively improve the performance of the acoustic device. However, there is a technical difficulty in the dual-voice coil speaker, which is the problem of how to arrange a leading wire of the inner voice coil.
Therefore, it is desired to provide a new acoustic device which can overcome the above problems.
In view of the above, the embodiments of the present invention provide a new acoustic device with stable structure.

The flexible circuit board includes a first fixing end secured to the frame, a second fixing end secured to the voice coil assembly, a connecting portion connecting the first fixing end and the second fixing end, and a soldering pad extending from the connecting portion. The voice coil assembly includes a first voice coil with an annular shape and a second voice coil surrounding an outer periphery of the first voice coil. The first voice coil includes a first leading wire. The first leading wire includes a first extension part extending from a surface of the first voice coil closed to the diaphragm and extending out of an outer edge of the second voice coil, a second extension part bending and extending from the first extension part along an outer surface of the second voice coil, and a soldering part welding to the soldering pad.
