The present application is a U.S. national stage application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of PCT Application No. PCT/KR2019/001024, filed Jan. 24, 2019, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0014587, filed Feb. 6, 2018. The disclosures of the aforementioned priority applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present invention relates to a flat panel speaker, and more specifically, to a flat panel speaker with which a high-quality and high-capacity speaker may be implemented by maximizing the number of coil turns and reducing unnecessary coil lines and weight.
A movable coil plate used for flat panel speaker is spirally wound or printed and patterned on a single surface or both surfaces of a plate-like coil bases.
In the movable coil plate, when current flows through a movable coil, the current flowing at that time generates a magnetic field that expands and shrinks at the same frequency as an audio signal around the movable coil, and since the movable coil is subjected to the magnetic field generated by a magnet inside a speaker unit, the movable coil plate moves vertically while interacting with the magnetic field generated at the movable coil corresponding to the magnetic field. Since the movable coil plate is connected to a vibration plate of the speaker unit, the vibration plate generates push out air while moving vertically and generates a sound by the vibration of air.
These flat panel speakers tend to have been developed to have increased output capacity, gradually decreasing sizes, and long structures, and in order to increase the output capacity of the flat panel speakers, development of a flat panel speaker having a structure in which a plurality of magnetic circuits are coupled has emerged as an important problem.
However, in case of a movable coil film laminated in multiple layers, number of windings should be maximally increased to raise inductive electromotive force, but the value of resistance increases as the number of windings increases to cause inefficiency, and conversely, when the value of resistance is preset, the number of windings may not be increased and the inductive electromotive force may not be increased, and thus, there is a difficulty in implementing a high-output speaker.
Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1147904 discloses a “flat panel speaker having multilayer PCB pattern movable coil film.
This patent implements a multilayer movable coil film so that the inductive electromotive force thereof can be increased by controlling the impedance thereof, but it is only possible to implement a multilayer structure with four or more layers, it is difficult to improve the demerits of an increase in weight and unnecessary left and right-side transverse vibration forces occurring due to a current flow according to the multilayer structure in left and right-side track lines that are misaligned by approximately 90 degrees with the positive direction of magnetic field of the movable coil plate, it is difficult to maximize the inductive electromotive force by increasing the number of effective straight track lines while decreasing the number of side surface idle track lines, and it is not possible to implement a flat panel speaker equipped with a dual PCB pattern movable coil.

As illustrated in
The flat panel speaker includes a movable coil plate 10 and a pair of magnetic bodies 11a and 11b which are spaced apart a predetermined interval d from the movable plate 10, the movable coil plate 10 being positioned between the pair of magnetic bodies 11a and 11b.
The pair of mutually facing magnetic bodies 11a and 11b may have the same configuration and may be composed of: magnets 12a, 13a, 12b and 13b; upper magnet plates 14a and 14b positioned on the upper surfaces of the magnets 12a, 13a, 12b, and 13b; and lower magnet plates 15a and 15b positioned on the lower surfaces of the magnets 12a, 13a, 12b and 13b.
The magnets 12a, 13a, 12b, and 13b provided inside the magnetic bodies 11a and 11b have reverse polarities so that an attractive force acts between the magnets, and the movable coil plate 10 favorably maintains the same distance d so as to receive the same magnetic force from the both-side magnetic bodies 11a and 11b.
The speaker configured as such is attached inside a base frame (not shown), and a vibration plate (not shown) for transmitting vibration energy to the upper end of a movable coil plate 10 may be formed.
Each of the upper magnet plates 14a and 14 and the lower magnet plates 15a and 15b are composed of a single plate, and the magnets 12a, 13a, 12b and 13b are disposed such that the two magnets 12a and 13a on one side and the two magnets 12b and 13b on the other side are disposed while spaced apart a predetermined distance from each other.
The magnets 12a, 13a, 12b and 13b are formed in two pairs so as to match the length of a dual track effective straight line section, and the upper magnet plates 14a and 14b and the lower magnet plates 15a and 15b are integrally formed with the two magnets and may prevent inward bending due to the attractive forces of the N and S poles.
In the present invention, considering that magnets are disposed up to left and right unnecessary tack portions in positioning the magnet, which are one of the most important components of a flat panel speaker, on the left and right sides of the movable coil plate, and thus the non-efficient left and right vibration force is maintained, it is possible to achieve an effect of removing non-efficiency and reducing the length of the magnets to thereby remarkably lower costs by disposing the length of the magnets only in the straight line track (horizontal line coil 201 of
The movable coil plate 10 may be configured in a multilayer laminated in two or more even number of layers (2, 4, 6 . . . ), and specific tracks and patterns of the movable coil of the movable coil plate 10 will be described below.
The movable coil may be patterned and printed on a printed circuit board (PCB).
Referring to
The movable coil plate 10 form a pair by the lamination of a first movable coil plate 10A and a second movable coil plate 10B.
In the first and second movable coil plates 10a and 10B, a first coil tack 100A and a second coil tack 100B, which are two dual coil tracks, are patterned and formed on a single coil plate, and via holes may be formed in required positions for mutual electrical connection.
Reference numerals 101 and 105 are lead wire connection terminals, reference numerals 102 and 104 are coil end terminals, and reference numeral 103 is a connection terminal for connecting the first coil track 100A and the second coil track 100B.
Referring to
The coil tracks 100A and 100B are mutually connected in a shape in which a horizontal line coils 202 and a vertical line coils 202 are wound inward or unwind outward and have one track structure.
In general, in case of a flat panel speaker, the coil pattern structure of a movable coil plate may be said to be the core thereof, a current flow in the track portions of the left and right coil lines of a movable coil is changed by approximately 90 degrees, and thus does not generate an inductive electromotive force of vertical vibration, but generates a left and right-side vibration force and it is thus necessary to remove or minimize the left and right vibration force.
In addition, the left and right-side tracks unnecessarily increase only the weight of the coil line (copper wire) and are inversely proportional to the efficiency of vertical vibration of the speaker.
Thus, the present invention proposes a structure in which a left and right vibration force may be reduced while improving the inductive electromotive of vertical vibration of the movable coil plate, and a movable coil structure that may reduce the weight of the coil line, and this results in the design structure like that in
That is, the direction of magnetic field and the direction of the current changed by approximately 90 degrees may not affect the vertical vibration of an actuating driver and rather generate a force of vibrating in the left-right direction, and therefore may minimize the number of lines or this portion to suppress unnecessary transverse vibration force, and may minimize the coil line (copper wire) of an ideal coil track and reduce the weight thereof to contribute to the improvement of negative pressure, and may overcome a typical technical limitation by maximizing the number of line turns of the portion of the horizontal line coil 201 which is a straight line effective coil track through which current flows in the positive direction of the magnetic field.
The coils are connected in parallel in a plurality of lines in the horizontal line coil 201, are combined in a single line and pass the vertical line coil 202 section, and are re-connected in parallel and pass in a plurality of lines in the horizontal line coil 201 which have reverse-direction current flow, and while repeating this in a spiral form, the coils form en end terminal 102 of an inner tack.
The end terminal 102 of the inner track may be connected in series to a second movable coil plate 10B using the via holes.
The lead wire connection terminals 101 and 105 may be formed in a lower end section in a half moon shape having a thin film metal structure in order to facilitate lead wire soldering.
