BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the prior art, when a loudspeaker operates with a low-frequency, a main reason to limit a maximum power application of the product is as following:

The diaphragm reinforcing part can be, for example, a DOME. The magnetic circuit system can be a twin magnetic circuit system, in which a magnet comprises a center magnet provided at a center location of a magnetic yoke and an edge magnet embracing the center magnet, and a washer comprises a center washer corresponding to the center magnet and an edge washer embracing the center washer. An integrated structure of the center magnet and center washer forms a magnetic gap with an integrated structure of the edge magnet and edge washer, with a voice coil being provided in the magnetic gap. Alternatively, the magnetic yoke can have a basin-shaped frame. The base of the basin-shaped frame has a central location provided with a center magnet, and a center washer is provided corresponding to the center magnet. An integrated structure of the center magnet and center washer forms a magnetic gap with the basin-shaped frame, with a voice coil being provided in the magnetic gap.


A capacitor structure is designed by the present disclosure to detect an actual vibration displacement of the moving-coil loudspeaker vibration system. The capacitor structure is constituted by a movable plate and a fixed plate opposed to the movable plate, in which the movable plate as a part of the vibration system is vibrated therewith. When the vibration system vibrates, a change in a distance between the movable plate and fixed plate arises, resulting in a change in a capacitance value of the capacitor. Consequently, the actual vibration displacement of the vibration system can be calculated by monitoring the change in the capacitance value of the capacitor or a change in a current of a circuit connected to the capacitor.


First Embodiment

A configuration of a moving coil loudspeaker according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated with reference to FIG. 1.


The moving-coil loudspeaker comprises a vibration system, a magnetic circuit system located below the vibration system, and a housing accommodating the vibration system and the magnetic circuit system.


The vibration system comprises a diaphragm, a spider 13, and a voice coil 16 combined one on top of the other. The diaphragm comprises a diaphragm body part 15 with a surround portion and a diaphragm reinforcing part 11 combined with the diaphragm body part 15 at a lower central location of the diaphragm body part. The spider 13 has a central hollow portion, and an edge of the spider 13 is fixed with the housing. The diaphragm reinforcing part 11 comprises a first conductive material layer, and the spider 13 comprises a second conductive material layer. The diaphragm reinforcing part 11 and spider 13 are bonded by a conductive adhesive 12, and the conductive adhesive 12 establishes electrically connection between the first and second conductive material layers. Preferably, the diaphragm reinforcing part 11 as a whole can be manufactured by a conductive material, for example, the diaphragm reinforcing part 11 is manufactured by metal.


The magnetic circuit system comprises a center washer 18, a center magnet 19, and a basin-shaped frame 17 combined one on top of the other, all of which are bonded together by a conductive adhesive.


The first and second conductive material layers jointly functioning as a movable plate, and the center washer 18, the center magnet 19, and the basin-shaped frame 17 jointly functioning as a fixed plate constitute a capacitor structure for detecting a vibration displacement of the moving-coil loudspeaker.


As the spider 13 is generally hollow, the second conductive material layer has a relatively small area, thus if only the second conductive material layer is made as the movable plate, the constituted capacitor structure would have a very low capacitance and hence be insensitive during detection. In the embodiment, the diaphragm reinforcing part 11 has the first conductive material layer. As the conductive adhesive 12 establishes electrically connection between the first and second conductive material layers, an area of the movable plate is increased by being constituted by both the first and second conductive material layers, thus improving the capacitance and sensitivity of the capacitor structure.


When the energized voice coil 16 is vibrated under an action of the magnetic circuit system, the voice coil 16 would bring the diaphragm and spider 13 to vibrate together, thus causing a change in a capacitance value of the capacitor formed by the movable plate and fixed plate. Consequently, the actual displacement of the vibration system can be calculated by monitoring the change in the capacitance value of the capacitor, or by indirectly monitoring a change in a current of a circuit connected to the capacitor. It is possible to connect an intelligent power amplifier control unit with the capacitor, so as to monitor the actual displacement of the vibration system and decrease an input power to the moving-coil loudspeaker when necessary, thus protecting the moving-coil loudspeaker from being distorted excessively or physical damaged.


As the center washer 18, the center magnet 19, and the basin-shaped frame 17 are conductive, a lead wire 101 can be led from the base of the basin-shaped frame 17, such that the fixed plate can be connected to an external circuit via the base of the basin-shaped frame 17. As the spider 13 is a Flexible Printed Circuit Board, a lead wire 102 can be led from an edge of the spider 13, such that the movable plate can be connected to the ground or the external circuit via the spider 13, and a chip for detecting capacitance values can be provided on the Flexible Printed Circuit Board.


In this embodiment, the spider has multiple functions, so as to reduce components required by the loudspeaker product and hence the cost, and reduce the space requirement for the designed product. Particularly, one hand, the spider itself on has a function of maintaining a concentric vibration of vibration components of the vibration system to decrease polarization. On the other hand, the spider as a part of the movable plate can be used to detect the vibration displacement of the vibration system. In the mean while, the spider as an electrical connection structure can feed back an electrical signal of the capacitance value to an external detection system.


In the embodiment, while meeting the design requirement of the movable plate of the capacitive sensor, more adjustable items are introduced for the acoustic performance adjustment of the loudspeaker. Particularly, the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker can be adjusted by selecting different materials for the diaphragm reinforcing part, especially in the high frequency range. Also, the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker can be adjusted by designing the size of the central hollow portion of the spider.


In another embodiment, the magnetic circuit system can be the twin magnetic circuit system as mentioned above. The center washer, center magnet, and magnetic yoke which are closest to the vibration system are used as fixed plate.


Second Embodiment

A configuration of a moving coil loudspeaker according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated with reference to FIG. 2.


The moving-coil loudspeaker comprises a vibration system, a magnetic circuit system located below the vibration system, and a housing accommodating the vibration system and the magnetic circuit system.


The vibration system comprises a diaphragm, a spider 23, and a voice coil 26 combined one on top of the other. The diaphragm comprises a diaphragm body part 25 with a surround portion and a diaphragm reinforcing part 21 arranged below a central location of the diaphragm body part 25. The spider 23 has a central hollow portion, and an edge of the spider 23 is fixed with the housing. The diaphragm reinforcing part 21 comprises a first conductive material layer, and the spider 23 comprises a second conductive material layer. The diaphragm reinforcing part 21 and spider 23 are bonded together by an insulative adhesive 22. Preferably, the diaphragm reinforcing part 21 as a whole can be manufactured by a conductive material, for example, the diaphragm reinforcing part 21 is manufactured by metal.


The magnetic circuit system comprises a center washer 28, a center magnet 29, and a basin-shaped frame 27 combined one on top of the other, all of which are bonded together by a conductive adhesive.


The first and second conductive material layers functioning as a movable plate, and the center washer 28, the center magnet 29, and the basin-shaped frame 27 functioning as a fixed plate constitute a capacitor structure for detecting a vibration displacement of the moving-coil loudspeaker.


As the spider 23 is generally hollow, the second conductive material layer has a relatively small area, thus if only the second conductive material layer is made as the movable plate, the constituted capacitor structure would have a very low capacitance and hence be insensitive during detection. In the embodiment, the diaphragm reinforcing part 21 has the first conductive material layer, the first and second conductive material layers are jointly used as the movable plate. It is known from the basic principle of capacitance that although the diaphragm reinforcing part 21 and the spider 23 are not electrically connected, the capacitance of the capacitor structure is relatively high due to a close distance between the diaphragm reinforcing part 21 and the spider 23 and a relative large area of the first conductive material layer. After tested by practice, it is found that the capacitor structure is very sensitive so that the requirement for detecting the vibration displacement of the loudspeaker is well met.


As the center washer 28, the center magnet 29, and the basin-shaped frame 27 are conductive, a lead wire 201 can be led from the base of the basin-shaped frame 27, such that the fixed plate can be connected to an external circuit via the base of the basin-shaped frame 27. As the spider 23 is a Flexible Printed Circuit Board, a lead wire 202 can be led from an edge of the spider 23, such that the movable plate can be connected to the ground or the external circuit via the spider 23, and a chip for detecting capacitance values can be provided on the Flexible Printed Circuit Board.


In the embodiment, the spider has multiple functions, so as to reduce components required by the loudspeaker product and hence the cost, and reduce the space requirement for the designed product. Particularly, the spider itself on one hand has a function of maintaining a concentric vibration of vibration components of the vibration system to decrease polarization. On the other hand, the spider as a part of the movable plate can be used to detect the vibration displacement of the vibration system. In the mean while, the spider as an electrical connection structure can feed back an electrical signal of the capacitance value to an external detection system.


In the embodiment, while meeting the design requirement of the movable plate of the capacitive sensor, more adjustable items are introduced for the acoustic performance adjustment of the loudspeaker. Particularly, the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker can be adjusted by selecting different materials for the diaphragm reinforcing part, especially in the high frequency range. Also, the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker can be adjusted by designing the size of the central hollow portion of the spider.


In this embodiment, the insulative adhesive is chosen to bond the diaphragm reinforcing part with the spider, so a sensitive capacitor structure can also be realized, which renders this embodiment compatible with the first embodiment which utilizes the conductive adhesive. Therefore, options in selecting adhesives are increased.
