The structure of existing loudspeaker module generally includes a module housing and a loudspeaker unit provided inside the module housing, the loudspeaker unit divides an accommodation cavity inside the module housing into a front sound cavity and a rear sound cavity isolated from each other. For a high-power loudspeaker unit, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the thickness of the module and increasing the heat dissipation capacity, a through hole is provided on the housing in the existing loudspeaker module, so that a part of the magnetic conductive yoke of the loudspeaker unit may occupy a certain space of the module housing in thickness, and the heat dissipation capacity of the loudspeaker unit can be improved after exposing the part of the magnetic conductive yoke of the loudspeaker unit to outside of the module housing. However, the above structure has the following defects: an assembly gap between the magnetic conductive yoke of the loudspeaker unit and the module housing is not protected; sealing with an adhesive is needed; the adhesive is easy to flow into the loudspeaker when it is applied; core components such as a vibrating diaphragm, a voice coil, and the like are contaminated, resulting in poor performance of the loudspeaker.
