The present invention relates to a novel ultrathin acoustic impedance converter, which belongs to the technical field of acoustics.
In recent years, the design of various products is popular in the world, including ultrathin mobile phones, ultrathin TV sets, ultrathin computers and ultrathin light-weight vibration-reduction and noise-reduction devices for military industries and civil application. To meet this requirement, domestic and foreign scholars and engineering technical personnel have carried out a lot of work. However, one of the bottleneck problems is how to achieve the ultrathin design of acoustic impedance converters. For example, for a loudspeaker as an acoustic impedance converter, the quality of tone thereof depends on the size of the end surface aperture of the loudspeaker. For the traditional loudspeaker, the larger the end surface aperture thereof is, the larger the thickness of the loudspeaker is. At present, to achieve the ultrathin design of an acoustic impedance converter, the following several methods are often used, or the structure of acoustic impedance converter is improved so that the components and parts constituting the acoustic impedance converter are compactly arranged in a limited space, for example, patent CN201310042528.0, and the like; or a piezoelectric ceramic sheet is used as an actuating element of a vibration diaphragm, for example, patent CN201010593395.2 and the like; or a flat vibration diaphragm is used, for example, patent CN201310089954.X and the like. Wherein, the development space is extremely limited by improving the structural configuration to achieve the purpose of reducing the thickness of the acoustic impedance converter; however, although the modes of using the piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the flat vibration diaphragm can substantially reduce the thickness of the acoustic impedance converter really, because of the imitation of the material or design principle thereof, the low frequency characteristics thereof are especially inadequate. At present, under the existing technical condition, design personnel can only seek a balance between the performance and required thickness of the acoustic impedance converter.
To take account of the high-quality performance and ultrath design of acoustic impedance converters, the present invention provides a novel ultrathin acoustic impedance converter.
To solve the technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
A novel ultrathin acoustic impedance converter, including at least one impedance conversion unit which comprises a frame and filling material thereof;
wherein a permeable cavity is arranged in the frame for placing the filling material. According to different application places and different requirements for acoustic impedance conversion, the cavity can be designed in different shapes, including a variable cross section and a uniform cross section.
Placed in the cavity inside the frame, the filling material comprises prestressed membranes and an acoustic material which are alternately arranged, wherein some or all of the prestressed membranes can be replaced by prestressed string nets. Specifically speaking, the filling material comprises: from one end of the cavity of the frame, a prestressed membrane or prestressed string net, and a layer of acoustic material; a prestressed membrane or prestressed string net, and a layer of acoustic material, . . . , and so on and so forth, until the cavity is fully filled.
The prestressed membranes or the prestressed string nets of the filling material mean membranes or string nets applied with prestress, i.e., each prestressed membrane or string net is applied with prestress before being placed in the cavity, and the magnitude of the prestress depends on the resistance value that the prestressed membrane or prestressed string net is required to reach.
The frame comprises two structures, i.e. a multilayer structure and an integrated structure, wherein the multilayer structure means that the frame is composed of multiple layers, one layer is fixedly connected with the other layer by adhesive, rivet, screw or trench, to enable the edge of each prestressed membrane or prestressed string net to be sandwiched between interfaces between adjacent layers of the frame, and the prestressed membrane or prestressed string net is positioned and tensioned by sticking, compacting or tightening; and the integrated structure means that the frame is an integral whole which cannot be split, the side wall of the cavity thereof is provided with trenches and holes for positioning and tensioning all prestressed membranes or prestressed string nets of the filling material.
The prestressed membranes or prestressed string nets and the acoustic material of the filling material are fixed in the frame by sticking, compacting or tightening.
Each prestressed membrane or prestressed string net of the filling material is designed into different types as required, including seven types, i.e. integrated membrane, hole membrane, string net, string nets membrane and other three types, which are described in detail as follows:
(1) integrated membrane: an integrated smooth hole-free membrane, on which no grid line is presented;
(2) hole membrane: fully distributed with holes in roundness, oval, polygon and bounded curve;
(3) string net: filamentous string lines are pulled to form a grid, and at the staggered positions of the grid, the string lines are twined with one another into a knot to form a node, or are overlapped with one another but are not twined into a knot;
(4) string net membrane: filamentous string lines are pulled to form a grid, and at the staggered positions of the grid, the string lines are connected with one another by membrane sheets in roundness, oval, polygon and bounded curved surface;
(5) combination of integrated membrane and string net: staggered grid lines are presented on the integrated membrane;
(6) combination of hole membrane and string net: staggered grid lines are presented on the hole membrane;
(7) variant string net: filamentous string lines are pulled to form a grid, and at the staggered positions of the grid, the string lines are connected with one another by polygonal nets;
Each of multiple layers of acoustic material of the filling material is designed into different types of structures as required, including integrated structure, porous structure, solid filling structure and stereographic string net structure and other four types of structures which are described in detail as follows:
(1) integrated structure: the acoustic material is a whole without hole or grid line;
(2) porous structure: the acoustic material is fully distributed with transparent or non-transparent holes in sphere, cylinder, truncated cone, cone, polyhedron and prism;
(3) solid filling structure: the acoustic material is filled with solids in sphere, cylinder, truncated cone, cone, polyhedron and prism;
(4) stereographic string net structure: filamentous string lines are pulled to form a grid, and at the staggered positions of the grid, the string lines are twined to form a node, or are overlapped with one another but are not twined into a knot;
(5) combination of integrated structure and stereographic string net structure: grid lines are presented in the integrated acoustic material;
(6) combination of porous structure and stereographic string net structure: grid lines are presented in the porous acoustic material;
(7) variant stereographic string net: filamentous string lines are pulled to form a stereographic grid, and at the staggered positions of the grid, the string lines are connected with one another by acoustic material in sphere, cylinder, truncated cone, cone, polyhedron and prism;
(8) variant stereographic string net: filamentous string lines are pulled to form a stereographic grid, and at the staggered positions of the grid, the string lines are connected with one another by stereographic nets or stereographic casings in sphere, cylinder, truncated cone, cone, polyhedron and prism.
The multilayer prestressed membranes or prestressed string nets of the filling material can be membranes or prestressed string nets of compound material, membranes or prestressed string nets of high polymer material, membranes or prestressed string nets of metal material or membranes or prestressed string nets of non-metal material, material of one of a plurality of prestressed membranes or prestressed string nets of the filling material can be one material or the composition of multiple materials, and the materials or structures of different prestressed membranes or prestressed string nets can be identical or different.
The multilayer acoustic material of the filling material can be air, water, oil, gel, polyurethane, polyester, foamed plastics, foamed metal, sonar rubber, butyl rubber, glass wool, glass fiber, felt, perforated plate and the like, and one of multiple layers of acoustic material of the filling material is one material or the composition of multiple materials, and the materials or structures of different layers of acoustic material are identical or different.
The present invention comprises one or more impedance conversion units. By the alternately arranging prestressed membranes or string nets and the acoustic material are in the cavity, i.e., the present invention can realize rapid change from low impedance to high impedance or from high impedance to low impedance, and can substantially reduce the thickness of the acoustic impedance converter while taking account of the low frequency characteristic thereof, and can realize the ultrathin design of the acoustic impedance converter.
The present invention can be applied to air, water and other places requiring acoustic impedance matching. For example, for a wind instrument such as bass horn with longer pipe body, trombone, saxophone, etc., the length thereof can be effectively reduced by rational design; for a loudspeaker of a product such as cell phone, TV set, computer, etc., the thickness thereof can be substantially reduced while increasing the low-frequency effect thereof; for a product such as a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a machine tool, etc., an ultrathin acoustic impedance converter can be designed, to effectively achieve the purposes of vibration reduction and noise reduction; and even, the present invention can be applied to the outer coating of an underwater submarine silencer.
