Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technology of audio devices, and more particularly, to the technology of a cylindrical contact-type microphone.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Most of the traditional microphones are electret microphones. For such microphones, as sounds are converted into electric signals via electret diaphragms, sound pick-up effects are poor when environmental noises are loud.

For piezoelectric microphones, as vibrations produced by sounds are converted into electric signals via piezoelectric ceramic sheets, sound pick-up effects are excellent in a noisy environment. However, existing piezoelectric microphones are complex in structure and large in size, which renders assembly inconvenient. Moreover, as their machining manners are greatly different from those of traditional electret microphones, additional devices are required to be purchased for production and machining, which increases production costs of microphone manufacturing enterprises.

In view of the above drawbacks existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cylindrical contact-type microphone that is simple in structure, small in size and convenient in assembly, and may reduce production costs of enterprises.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the cylindrical contact-type microphone provided by the present invention is characterized by comprising a shell and a circuit board mounted within the shell, and it is further characterized by comprising a piezoelectric ceramic sheet;

the shell is a tapered, two-section cylindrical conductive cylinder body, a step is formed at a joint portion of an upper cylinder section and a lower cylinder section of the shell, and a lower-stage connection plate and a conductive polar ring are mounted within the upper cylinder section of the shell;

a via-hole is arranged in the middle of the lower-stage connection plate, a positive signal lower connection sheet is secured to an upper plate face edge portion of the lower-stage connection plate, and a negative signal lower connection sheet is secured to a lower plate face edge portion of the lower-stage connection plate, wherein the negative signal lower connection sheet is pressed against the step at the joint portion of the upper cylinder section and the lower cylinder section of the shell, and forms electrical connection therewith;

the conductive polar ring is an annular conductor, and mounted on the lower-stage connection plate; a bottom edge of the conductive polar ring is pressed against the positive signal lower connection sheet on the lower-stage connection plate and forms electrical connection therewith, and the periphery of the conductive polar ring is sleeved with an insulated annular separation ring;

the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is inserted into the shell, an upper end of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet passes through the central via-hole of the lower-stage connection plate, a positive electrode of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is connected to the positive signal lower connection sheet of the lower-stage connection plate, and a negative electrode of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is connected to the negative signal lower connection sheet of the lower-stage connection plate;

the circuit board is mounted on the upper end of the conductive polar ring, a positive signal upper connection sheet: is secured to a lower board face of the circuit board, and a negative signal upper connection sheet is secured to an upper board face of the circuit board, wherein the positive signal upper connection sheet is pressed against an upper edge of the conductive polar ring and forms electrical connection therewith;

an upper edge of the shell is bent inward, and pressed against the negative signal upper connection sheet on the circuit board to form electrical connection therewith.

Further, a weight block is secured to a lowerend of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet.

The cylindrical contact-type microphone provided by the present invention employs a structure similar to that of an electret microphone, and the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is connected to the circuit board through the shell and the conductive polar ring. Consequently, the present microphone is featured by simple structure, small size and convenient assembly, the machining of which can be accomplished by means of production and machining devices and some accessories for electret microphones, thereby reducing production costs of enterprises.
