DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, in conjunction with appended drawings and preferred embodiments.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the present embodiment involves a counter balancing apparatus B1 for moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device, and the counter balancing apparatus B1 comprises a baseboard A1 and counter-balancing blocks A2. The baseboard A1 is configured in a planar structure, with an open notch A3 on its front end; two sheets of counter-balancing blocks A2 are also configured in a planar structure and are provided symmetrically on both sides of the baseboard A1, and an open notch A3 formed on the front end of each of the counter-balancing blocks A2 is aligned with the open notch A3 on the front end of the baseboard A1.


Preferably, the baseboard A1 and the counter-balancing blocks A2 of the counter balancing apparatus B1 in the present embodiment are bound together by laser welding, i.e. the material adjacent to the connection area of the baseboard A1 and the counter-balancing blocks A2 are melted by laser beam, and after cooling down and hardening, connection is achieved. In addition to this, alternative ways of connection also include mortise and tenon connection, resistance welding, ultrasonic welding, or adhesive binding.


In order to achieve functions of the counter balancing apparatus B1 and coordinate with process requirements of laser welding, the baseboard A1 in the present embodiment is preferably made of stainless steel, and the counter-balancing blocks A2 in the present embodiment are preferably made of titanium. In addition, the baseboard A1 may also be made of aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloy, beryllium-copper, phosphorous-copper, red copper, yellow brass, titanium, or plastic; the counter-balancing blocks A2 may also be made of platinum, gold, silver, red copper, beryllium-copper, phosphorous-copper, or yellow brass.


When the counter balancing apparatus B1 in the present embodiment is applied to a moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device, the driving and transduction part B4 of the moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device is fixed to one sheet of the counter-balancing block A2; the vibration conduction apparatus B2 of the moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device is configured to extend through the open notch A3 of the counter balancing apparatus B1 and is fixed to the bottom of the shielding case B3 of the moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device; the back end of the baseboard A1 of the counter balancing apparatus B1 is in hinged connection with the inner wall of the shielding case B3 of the moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device.

During operation, the transduction and driving apparatus B4 of the moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device generates mechanical vibration, and by means of the vibration conduction apparatus B2, the mechanical vibration force is exerted onto the bottom of the shielding case B3 which is in fixed connection with the vibration conduction apparatus B2; as one sheet of the counter-balancing block A2 thereof is in fixed connection with the transduction and driving apparatus B4, and as the back end of the baseboard A1 thereof is in hinged connection with the inner wall of the shielding case B3, the counter balancing apparatus B1 vibrates together with the transduction and driving apparatus B4, so as to enhance the level of vibration exerted onto the shielding case B3 by its own inherent mass. When the shielding case B3 has come into contact with the head of a user, the vibration force is further conducted to auditory nerve by means of the skull, so as to achieve the function of sound transmission.


Compared to the counter balancing apparatus in rectangular solid shape of the prior art, the present invention, on the basis of ensuring its basic functions, encompasses design advantages of the prior art apparatus and at the same time reasonably avoids structural deficiencies of the prior art apparatus, reasonably optimizes the space occupied by the counter balancing apparatus, significantly increases the effective moving mass of the counter balancing apparatus, so as to effectively control the size of the product under the condition of enhancing transduction efficiency and output vibration level of the corresponding moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving device; moreover, compared to the monoblock structure of the counter balancing apparatus of the prior art, the split type design of the baseboard and the counter-balancing blocks in the present invention not only reduces the level of difficulty of manufacturing its counter balancing apparatus, but also flexibly meets the requirement of effective moving mass for various moving-iron bone-conducted sound receiving devices by selection of different thickness and shapes of counter-balancing blocks.
