Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202211283609.5, filed on Oct. 20, 2022, and entitled “High-Acoustic-Resistance Piston Motion Loudspeaker”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure belongs to an acoustic device in the field of sound-electricity conversion, and relates to a structural design of a high-acoustic-resistance piston loudspeaker, which may be applied to consumer electronics or medical electronics.


BACKGROUND

A core indicator of a loudspeaker is an output sound pressure level (SPL) at a certain position. Since an output sound pressure of the loudspeaker is directly proportional to a square of a frequency and a first power of vibrating diaphragm displacement, the SPL is usually small at a low frequency (20 Hz-1 kHz), and under a condition that a device size is at a mm or even um level, the SPL at 10 mm in a free field testing environment is difficult to exceed 80 dB. For example, in order to realize a purpose of 80-dB SPL at 10 mm at the frequency of 1 kHz, a conventional fully-enclosed fixed support diaphragm (a diameter of a circular diaphragm is 3 mm) loudspeaker needs to reach 40-um vibrating diaphragm displacement, which is very difficult for the fully-enclosed fixed support diaphragm loudspeaker, and thus, it is necessary to use an open piston motion mode loudspeaker based on a driving structure.


Compared with the conventional fully-enclosed fixed support diaphragm loudspeaker, for the open piston motion mode loudspeaker based on the driving structure, since a fixed support state of the vibrating diaphragm is changed, restriction factors of boundary conditions of the vibrating diaphragm during vibration are significantly reduced, moreover, the vibrating diaphragm relies on the driving structure for motion, a motion range of the driving structure is much larger than that of the conventional fully-enclosed fixed support diaphragm, and therefore, the open piston motion mode loudspeaker based on the driving structure may realize larger vibrating diaphragm displacement. At the same time, for the open piston motion mode loudspeaker based on the driving structure, since a mechanical-acoustic energy conversion coefficient corresponding to a piston vibration mode is three times a mechanical-acoustic energy conversion coefficient of a vibrating diaphragm vibration mode of the conventional fully-enclosed fixed support diaphragm loudspeaker, a larger sound pressure output may be generated under the same size and excitation conditions. Therefore, the open piston motion mode loudspeaker based on the driving structure has more advantages in vibrating diaphragm displacement.


However, the open piston motion mode loudspeaker based on the driving structure has a problem of acoustic short circuit between front and rear cavities. During vibration of the vibrating diaphragm, the front cavity and the rear cavity generate audio signals with opposite phases at the same moment, and if there is a large air gap between the front and rear cavities, the audio signals of the front and rear cavities will weaken an audio signal generated by the loudspeaker after being superposed through the air gap, which corresponds to acoustic resistance of the air gap between the front and rear cavities. On the premise of not affecting the vibration of an air spring of the rear cavity, the smaller the air gap is, the greater the corresponding acoustic resistance between the front and rear cavities is, and the greater a conversion coefficient of converting energy generated by a mechanical motion of the vibrating diaphragm into energy of sound radiated by the front cavity to the air is, thereby generating a larger SPL.


Taking a square diaphragm with a side length of 3 mm as an example, and assuming that a length of an air gap formed between an edge of the vibrating diaphragm and a sidewall structure is 20 um at a room temperature, since the acoustic resistance is directly proportional to a first power of an air viscosity coefficient and a first power of the air gap length, and is inversely proportional to a square of a cross-sectional area of the air gap, when a distance between the edge of the vibrating diaphragm and the sidewall structure is increased, the acoustic resistance is reduced quickly, and the SPL at 10 mm is driven to be reduced quickly, referring to FIG. 2 (a) and FIG. 2 (b). At the same time, if the distance between the edge of the fixed vibrating diaphragm and the sidewall structure is 2 um, when the length of the air gap formed between the edge of the vibrating diaphragm and the sidewall structure is increased, the acoustic resistance will be increased, and the SPL at 10 mm is driven to be increased, referring to FIG. 3 (a) and FIG. 3 (b).


Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved piston loudspeaker that can generate a large displacement motion of the vibrating diaphragm and also provide sufficient acoustic resistance between the front and rear cavities, thereby increasing the output sound pressure level of the loudspeaker.


SUMMARY

Different from a connecting structure coplanar with a vibrating diaphragm in a traditional piston loudspeaker, a high-acoustic-resistance piston motion loudspeaker disclosed in the present disclosure adopts a concealed connecting structure not coplanar with the vibrating diaphragm, and a displacement range of the vibrating diaphragm in a perpendicular direction is within a height range of a cavity formed by a supporting structure extending in a thickness direction of a base. On the basis of maintaining an advantage of large motion displacement of a piston loudspeaker, the concealed connecting structure may significantly alleviate a problem of serious air leakage caused by structural design and process limitations, and increase an acoustic resistance value of front and rear cavities of the piston motion loudspeaker in a working state, so that an output sound pressure level of the piston motion loudspeaker is effectively increased. In addition, by optimizing design of a vibrating diaphragm structure, the supporting structure and other assemblies of the piston loudspeaker with the above concealed connecting structure, a length and cross-sectional area of an air gap between the front and rear cavities and an opening of the base may be adjusted, and the effect of further increasing the acoustic resistance and the output sound pressure level is achieved.

A working method of the high-acoustic-resistance piston motion loudspeaker disclosed in the present disclosure is: under an exciting action of an external electrical signal, the driving assembly is forced to make mechanical deformation and drive the vibrating diaphragm to make the piston motion in a direction perpendicular to the vibrating diaphragm. The vibrating diaphragm making the piston motion in a perpendicular direction drives air inside the vibration cavity to move, so as to generate an acoustic wave signal. The vibrating diaphragm is not coplanar with the connecting assembly, and the displacement range of the vibrating diaphragm in the perpendicular direction is within the height range of the vibration cavity formed by the supporting structure extending in the thickness direction of the base.

Beneficial Effects

1. The high-acoustic-resistance piston motion loudspeaker disclosed in the present disclosure has the concealed connecting structure, which may increase the acoustic resistance between the front and rear cavities of the piston loudspeaker during working, and improve the output sound pressure level of the loudspeaker. It is suitable for traditional loudspeaker design and manufacturing, as well as the design and manufacturing process of the MEMS loudspeaker.


2. Compared with a piston loudspeaker structure in which the connecting assembly and the vibrating diaphragm are located on the same plane and a large air gap penetrating through the front and rear cavities is formed when making the piston motion, for the high-acoustic-resistance piston motion loudspeaker disclosed in the present disclosure, since the vibrating diaphragm is not coplanar with the connecting assembly, the displacement range of the vibrating diaphragm is within the height range of the vibration cavity, the cross-sectional area of the air gap between the front and rear cavities during the piston motion of the vibrating diaphragm in the perpendicular direction is reduced, and air leakage is alleviated. In addition, based on the principle of increasing the length of the air gap between the front and rear cavities and reducing the cross-sectional area of the air gap between the front and rear cavities, the vibrating diaphragm and the supporting structure of the piston motion loudspeaker with the concealed connecting structure are optimized to jointly increase the acoustic resistance of the front and rear cavities and improve the sound pressure level of the sound output, and four specific structures that meet the structural optimization principle and realize the optimization technical effects are specifically provided.


3. Compared with a loudspeaker with the vibrating diaphragm fixed and supported at an edge, for the high-acoustic-resistance piston motion loudspeaker disclosed in the present disclosure, since the vibrating diaphragm is connected with the supporting structure through the connecting assembly, compared with the vibrating diaphragm fixed and supported at the edge, the displacement that the vibrating diaphragm may reach in the vibration process is not limited by the supporting structure, which improves a vibration amplitude of the vibrating diaphragm, and thus the output sound pressure level of the loudspeaker is improved.


4. The high-acoustic-resistance piston motion loudspeaker disclosed in the present disclosure significantly enriches the design and manufacturing freedom of the piston motion loudspeaker. The advantages are applied to the design and manufacturing of the piston loudspeaker, which may increase the acoustic resistance of the front and rear cavities and the output sound pressure level of the loudspeaker.
