DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENT

The present disclosure will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to an exemplary embodiments. To make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure is described in further detail together with the figure and the embodiment. It should be understood the specific embodiment described hereby is only to explain the disclosure, not intended to limit the disclosure.

This disclosure relates to a multifunctional speaker integrating three functions in one. The speaker is a frequency-selection type three-in-one device, and can realize vibration and/or sound production functions by applying different currents to the coil. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, a multifunctional speaker 100, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises a frame 110 with an accommodation space, a spring plate 120 connected with the frame 110 and a magnetic circuit system 130 suspended in the accommodation space by the spring plate 120. The magnetic circuit system 130 comprises a magnetic bowl 131 and a magnetic body 132 provided on the magnetic bowl 131. The magnetic bowl 131 comprises a baseplate 1311 fixedly connected with the magnetic body 132 and a side wall 1312 formed by bending from the edge of the baseplate 1311. The side wall 1312 and the baseplate 1311 form the accommodation part which accommodates the magnetic body 132. One end of the spring plate 120 is fixed at the frame 110, the other end of the spring plate 120 is fixed at the side wall 1312. The end of the frame 110 is connected with an annular rear cover 140, the annular rear cover 140 is provided as wound around the periphery of the baseplate 1311. As shown in FIG. 3, a gap g1 is formed between the periphery of the baseplate 1311 and the annular rear cover 140, the gap g1 is between 0.05 and 0.20 mm, for example, the gap can also be between 0.08 and 0.15 mm. The configuration can decrease drop failure of three in one products. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 1, the frame 110 includes a main body 110a and an extending arm 110b extending from only a part of the main body 110a towards the rear cover 140, with the extending arm 110b fixed to the rear cover 140 and the main body 110a spaced apart from the rear cover 140, and two adjacent extending arms 110b spaced apart from each other. The rear cover 140 includes an upper surface 140a close to the extending arm 110b, and a protrusion 142 extending from the upper surface 140a towards the main body 110a and formed between the two adjacent extending arms 110b. The spring plate 120 is partially fixed to the protrusion 142 and sandwiched between the main body 110a and the protrusion 142. The spring plate 120 is annular, comprising a pair of first arms 120a opposite to each other and connecting to the side wall 1312, a pair of second arms 120b opposite to each other and fixed to the upper surface 140a, and a connecting arm 120c connecting the first arm 120a and the second arm 120b. The first arm 120a, the connecting arm 120c and the connecting arm 120b are linked end-to-end to form the spring plate 120. As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting arm is configured for avoiding the extending arm 110b, thus saving the product size and space. The first arm 120a is positioned between the main body 110 and the upper surface 140a and spaced apart from the main body 110 and the upper surface 140a separately.

The baseplate 1311 is a rounded rectangle. A distance between the rounded corners of the baseplate 1311 and the rear cover 140 is greater than or equal to a width of the gap, that is, the distance between the rounded corner R of the baseplate 1311 and the rear cover 140 g2 is greater than or equal to the gap between the straight side of the baseplate 1311 and the rear cover 140 g1.

To make sure that the vibration performance of every direction is consistent, the spring plate 120 is annular and provided as wound around the periphery of the side wall 1312.

The end of the side wall 1312 which is far from the baseplate 1311 has a supporting plate 1313 extending toward the spring plate 120. The inner side of the spring plate 120 has a fixing part 121 which is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 1313 and is extended from the inner side. The supporting of the magnetic bowl 131 by the spring plate 120 is realized by the fixed connection between the fixing part 121 and the supporting plate 1313.

A supporting column 112 is formed symmetrically at the bottom of the frame 110 in the direction of the rear cover, and a through hole 141 is to formed correspondingly on the rear cover 140 which coordinates with the supporting column 112. The fixing of the rear cover 140 and the frame 110 is realized by respective corresponding of the supporting column 112 and the through hole 141.

As shown in FIG. 2, a distance d is defined between the baseplate 1311 and the end face of the rear cover 140 far from the frame 110, and the distance d is greater than or equal to the amplitude of the magnetic bowl 131, through which the collision between the magnetic bowl 131 and other components of a mobile terminal which installs the speaker can be avoided.

The rear cover 140 and the frame 110 in this disclosure are assembled after they are separately molded. In other preferred embodiments of this disclosure, the rear cover 140 and the frame 110 are molded all-in-one.

The multifunctional speaker 100 of this disclosure also comprises a vibration system 150, which is fixed at the side of the frame 110 far from the rear cover 140.

The vibration system 150 comprises a diaphragm 151 which is fixed at the frame 110 and a voice coil 152 which is fixed at the diaphragm 151 and drives the diaphragm 151 to vibrate and produce sounds, and the voice coil 152 is suspended between the magnetic body 132 and the side wall 1312. When the voice coil 152 is electrified, the magnetic body 132 drives the voice coil 152 to vibrate, thereby driving the diaphragm 151 to vibrate and produce sounds.

It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present exemplary embodiment have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiment, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms where the appended claims are expressed.
