Patent Application
20160119698
The subject matter herein generally relates to a loudspeaker.
Known loudspeakers typically comprise a driver and an enclosure. The components of the driver typically include a magnet (or more specifically, a magnet with a top plate and yoke), a voice coil, a sound radiating element (typically, a cone), suspensions, and a basket or frame. The cone may also be referred to as a radiator or diaphragm.
The voice coil is rigidly attached to the cone, and the magnet is stationary, attached to the enclosure of the loudspeaker. The voice coil and magnet are arranged such that the voice coil is placed in the magnetic field of the magnet. In operation, current flows through the voice coil, which when placed in this magnetic field, causes the voice coil to move in response to an applied signal. As the voice coil and cone move as one entity, movement of the voice coil results in movement of the cone to radiate sound.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to a loudspeaker comprising a voice coil, a protecting cover attached to the voice coil, a washer, and a voice cavity case. The voice cavity top case is aligned with the protecting cover.
The voice coil 10 and the magnet 50 can be arranged such that the voice coil 10 can be placed in the magnetic field of the magnet 50. In use, current flows through the voice coil 10, which when placed in this magnetic field of the magnet 50, causes the voice coil 10 to move in response to an applied signal to generate sound.
The washer 40 can be attached to the magnet 50. The loudspeaker sleeve 60 comprises a main base 61 and an extending wall 63 coupled to the main base 61. The main base 61 is substantially circle, and the extending wall 63 perpendicularly extends from edges of the circle defined by the main base 61. The extending wall 63 can be coupled with the extending portion 37, thereby an accommodating portion 90 is defined between the extending wall 63 and the extending portion 37 for receiving the washer 40 and magnet 50.
The voice cavity bottom case 70 comprises a bottom plate 71 and four side plates 73 coupled to four edges of the bottom plate 71. In at least one embodiment, each side plate 73 is substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate 71. The four side plates 73 can be secured to the four side panels 33, so that the voice cavity bottom case 70 is secured to the voice cavity top case 30.
The resisting panel 35 is sandwiched between the washer 40 and the voice coil 10, and the top surface of the top panel 31 is aligned with the top surface of the protecting cover 20. The top panel 31 cannot be attached to the top surface of the protecting cover 20, so that the thickness of the loudspeaker 100 can be decreased.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a voice coil. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
