The present disclosure relates to A technical field of acoustics, and more particularly, to an exciter and an electronic product.
Direct-driven exciters for sounding on display are widely used now, which enable electronic devices to generate stereo effect so that users can have a good use experience. Therefore, such products have a high degree of acceptance among the consumers.
At present, commonly used exciters include integrated exciters and separated exciters. Whether it is a separated or an integrated exciter, coils used in the exciter are made of circular cross-sectional enameled wires. For a coil wound with the circular cross-sectional enameled wires, turns of the coil are arranged tangent to each other due to the shape characteristics of the enameled wire, and an interval between two adjacent turns of enameled wire is large. In this case, the number of turns of coil is less for a certain winding space, resulting in a shorter effective length of the coil. Accordingly, the driving force the coil subjected in the magnetic field is small.

At present, commonly used exciters include integrated exciters and separated exciters. Whether it is a separated or an integrated exciter, coils used in the exciter are made of circular cross-sectional enameled wires. For a coil wound with the circular cross-sectional enameled wires, turns of the coil are arranged tangent to each other due to the shape characteristics of the enameled wire, and an interval between two adjacent turns of enameled wire is large. In this case, the number of turns of coil is less for a certain winding space, resulting in a shorter effective length of the coil. Accordingly, the driving force the coil subjected in the magnetic field is small. In view of the above, it is necessary to improve the coil of a conventional exciter to increase the driving force, which is relatively small.
The present disclosure provides an exciter, including: a magnetic circuit assembly including a first housing and a magnet, the magnet is coupled to the first housing; and a coil assembly including a second housing and a coil, and the coil is disposed in a magnetic field formed by the magnet, wherein the coil is coupled to the second housing, wherein the coil assembly is configured to be capable of generating a vibration relative to the magnetic circuit assembly, and wherein the coil is formed by winding a wire having a polygonal cross section.
Referring to
The coil of the present disclosure can be formed by winding a wire. The wire for winding the coil may be an enameled copper wire or a copper clad aluminum wire. The material of the wire is not limited. Optionally, the wire may have a polygonal-shaped cross-section. That is, the wire has a prismatic shape. By using the wires having a polygon cross section, outer surfaces of two adjacent wires may contact with each other in the wound coil, the contact area between the wires can be increased, and thus the interval between the adjacent wires can be reduced.
In the present disclosure, the coil wire has a polygonal-shaped cross-section, so that outer surfaces of the wires are in surface contact in the wound coil, the interval between the wires can be effectively reduced. As such, within the same coil volume, a winding length of the wire can be increased. According to the relationship between the driving force generated from the energized coil in the magnetic field and the length of the wire, F=B*I*L, where B is a magnetic field strength of the magnet, I is a current passing through the coil, and L is a length of the wire. It can be known that in the case that the magnetic field strength and the current remain unchanged, the driving force on the coil can be significantly increased when the length of the wire is increased, thereby improving the vibration performance of the exciter.
Optionally, the wire has a rectangular cross section.
As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cross section of the wire 301 may be rectangular. When the coil 30 is formed by winding the wire with rectangular cross-section, the interval between the wires in the coil can be further reduced, and the winding length of the wire within the same winding space can be increased, thereby increasing the driving force of the magnetic field on the coil and thus improve the vibration performance of the exciter.
Optionally, the wire has a square cross section.
As shown in
Optionally, the magnet is provided in pairs, and two magnets in each pair of magnets have the same magnetization direction.
As an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in

Optionally, two adjacent wires in the coil are adhered by adhesive.
As an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, a thin layer of adhesive may be coated on a surface of a quadrangular wire 301, and two adjacent wires are connected and fixed by adhesive. After coil 30 is wound, the wires are arranged orderly and are not easy to scatter. Optionally, the thickness of the adhesive is negligible relative to the length or width of the cross section of the wire, i.e., the thickness of the adhesive is less than the length or width of the cross section of the wire. In this way, the advantages of the shape of the wire can be fully utilized, so as to reduce the interval between the wires.
Optionally, the exciter further includes a flexible circuit board disposed between the coil and the second housing.
As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the exciter further includes a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board is used to electrically connect a circuit or a power supply device other than the coil and the exciter to apply an electric signal into the coil. Optionally, other circuit components may also be integrated on the flexible circuit board. As an example, the flexible circuit board may be disposed between the coil and the second housing. That is, the flexible circuit board is coupled to the second housing, and the coil is coupled to a side of the flexible circuit board away from the second housing. In this embodiment, not only the convenience of connecting the flexible circuit board and the second housing is improved, but also the electrical connection structure between the coil and the flexible circuit board can be simplified. Optionally, the flexible circuit board may be coupled to the fixed portion of the second housing, and the coil is coupled to the flexible circuit board. Connecting the flexible circuit board to the fixed portion can avoid interference between the flexible circuit board and the magnet.
The present disclosure also provides an electronic product. The electronic product includes the exciter as described above, and further includes a product body, the product body divided into a fixed member and a vibrating member, wherein one of the first housing and the second housing is coupled to the vibrating member, and the other one of the first housing and the second housing is coupled to the fixed member, and wherein the vibrating member is configured to be capable of vibrating relative to the fixed member. The vibrating member may be a screen and a back cover of the electronic product for vibration and sound generating (the following description is illustrated by taking the screen as an example). The fixed portion is a part of the structure of the product body, and the fixed portion may be a middle frame, a side wall, a PCB, or other structures of the product body. In the product body, structural components such as partitions and middle frames are commonly disposed in order to place other electronic devices. These structural components have good structural stability in electronic products, they are used to place electronic devices and protect the electronic devices. Therefore, by using such structural components in the product body as the fixed member, the vibration reliability can be improved.
The exciter is disposed in the product body. The electronic product may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure. The screen is disposed on the product body and is used as a display screen of the electronic product. The screen is driven to vibrate and sound through the interaction between the coil and the magnetic component.

Meanwhile, the magnets arranged in pairs can increase the magnetic field strength and correct the magnetic lines of force, so that the magnetic induction lines pass through the coil vertically to improve the driving force of the magnet on the coil. Multiple pairs of magnets can increase the magnetic field strength, and on the other hand, the distance between the two pairs of magnets is less than or equal to the height of the winding hole in the vertical direction, which can ensure that the magnetic induction lines pass through the parts with wires on the winding plane, which ensures the effective area of the coil interacting with the magnet, thereby increasing the driving force on the coil. In addition, two adjacent wires are connected and fixed by adhesive, which can improve the structural stability of the coil and prevent the wires from loosing.
