1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the technical field of electro-acoustic conversion, and in particular, to a receiver.
2. BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE
A receiver is also called a handset, which is an electroacoustic device that converts audio electrical signals into acoustical signals without sound leakage and is widely used in a communication terminal device such as a mobile phone, a fixed-line telephone, and a hearing aid to achieve audio output.
Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a receiver in the prior art, the receiver includes a shell 110, a diaphragm 120, and an electromagnetic driving mechanism. The diaphragm 120 is disposed within the shell 110 and partitions an inner cavity of the shell into a front cavity and a back cavity, and the electromagnetic driving mechanism is fixed in the back cavity. The electromagnetic driving mechanism includes a driving rod 130, a reed (or an armature) 140, two permanent magnets 150, and a coil 160. One end of the reed 140 is fixed to inner wall surfaces of side walls of the shell 110, and the other end is connected to the diaphragm 120 through the driving rod 130. The coil 160 is sleeved on the reed 140 and is close to a U-shaped arc transition portion of the reed 140, and two permanent magnets 150 are respectively located on upper and lower sides of the reed 140 close to the end of the driving rod 130 and are fixed to the inner side surface of the shell 110.
Since the reed 140 and the diaphragm 120 need to be connected using the driving rod 130 (or a driving plate) in the receiver shown in FIG. 1, the design of the driving rod 130 (or the drive plating) is very difficult to assemble so that the assembly efficiency is low. It is difficult to achieve automated production, which requires high skills for employees and has an unstable manufacturing process. As a result, assembly quality control may affect product reliability, and a high reworking rate even causes scrapping, which impedes reduction of manufacturing costs.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved technical solution to overcome the above problems.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a receiver according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the receiver includes: a housing 210, a diaphragm mechanism 230, and an electromagnetic driving mechanism (not labelled).
The housing 210 has a hollow inner cavity 220. The diaphragm mechanism 230 is disposed in the hollow inner cavity 220 and partitions the hollow inner cavity 220 into a first cavity 222 and a second cavity 224. The diaphragm mechanism 230 includes a vibration plate 232. A fixed end of the vibration plate 232 is fixed on an inner wall of the housing 210, and a free end of the vibration plate 232 is suspended in the hollow inner cavity 220.
The electromagnetic driving mechanism is disposed in the hollow inner cavity 220 and includes at least one coil assembly 242 and at least one magnetic field assembly 244 or 246. The magnetic field assembly 246 or 244 is disposed in the first cavity 222 or the second cavity 224, and the magnetic field assembly 244 or 246 is close to the free end of the vibration plate 232. The coil assembly 242 is arranged in the first cavity 222 or the second cavity 224, and the coil assembly 242 is close to the fixed end of the vibration plate 232.
In one embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the housing 210 includes a first shell 212 formed by a first bottom surface and side walls, and a second shell 214 formed by a second bottom surface and side walls. The first shell 212 and the second shell 214 are snap-fitted to each other to form the hollow inner cavity 220. For example, the first shell 212 and the second shell 214 are fixedly connected by adhesive or electric welding. In a preferred embodiment, the first shell 212 and the second shell 214 are all made of magnetic permeable materials.
In one embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the diaphragm mechanism 230 is arranged in the first shell 212 and partitions the hollow inner cavity 220 into the first cavity 222 close to the first bottom surface and the second cavity 224 close to the second bottom surface.
Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic exploded view of a diaphragm mechanism in FIG. 2 in one embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the diaphragm mechanism 230 includes the vibration plate 232, a fixed frame 234, and a sounding film 236. The fixed frame 234 is fixed to inner side surfaces of the side walls of the first shell 212 and has an inner space 2342 formed through the fixed frame in a thickness direction of the fixed frame 234. The fixed frame 234 is made of a non-magnetic permeable material that may be stainless steel, aluminium, or other non-magnetic permeable metal or non-metal materials. The fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232 is fixed to an inner side of the fixed frame 234, and the free end 2324 of the vibration plate is suspended in the fixed frame 234. A reserved gap 238 is formed between an outer side surface of the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232 and an inner side surface of the fixed frame 234. The sounding film 236 independent from the housing 210 is pre-attached to a side surface of the fixed frame 234 facing the first cavity 222, and seals at least the reserved gap 238 formed between the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232 and the fixed frame 234.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the sounding film 236 is provided with a protrusion 2362 facing the second cavity 224 at a position corresponding to the reserved gap 238. Due to the arrangement of the protrusion 2362, when the vibration plate 232 drives the sounding film 236 to vibrate, the sounding film 236 may vibrate more easily along with the vibration plate. In an optional embodiment, the sounding film 236 may alternatively be pre-attached to a side surface of the fixed frame 234 facing the second cavity 224, and the protrusion 2362 faces the first cavity 223.
In one embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the electromagnetic driving mechanism includes a first coil assembly 242 arranged in the second cavity 224 and close to the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232, and a first magnetic field assembly 244 arranged in the second cavity 224 and close to the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232, and a second magnetic field assembly 246 arranged in the first cavity 222 and close to the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232. The first magnetic field assembly 244 is opposite to the second magnetic field assembly 246. The coil assembly 242 and the magnetic field assembly 244, 246 are spaced apart from each other.
Tn one embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the first coil assembly 242 includes a first magnetic core 2422 and a first coil 2424. The first coil 2424 is arranged on the second bottom surface of the second shell 214. One end of the first magnetic core 2422 is threaded in a hollow inner hole of the first coil 2424, and the other end of the first magnetic core protrudes from the hollow inner hole of the first coil 2424 to be connected to the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232. The first magnetic core 2422 is preferably an iron core. The first magnetic field assembly 244 includes a first magnetic field generation member 2442 that generates a fixed magnetic field and a first magnetic permeable block 2444. The first magnetic permeable block 2444 is fixed to the second bottom surface of the second shell 214. The first magnetic field generation member 2442 is fixed to the first magnetic permeable block 2444 and faces the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232. A required gap is reserved between the first magnetic field generation member 2442 and the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232. The second magnetic field assembly 246 includes only a second magnetic field generation member 2462 that generates a fixed magnetic field. The second magnetic field generation member 2462 is directly fixed to the first bottom surface of the first shell 212 and faces the free end 2324 of the vibration 232 (or directly faces the first magnetic field generation member 2442). A required gap is reserved between the second magnetic field generation member 2462 and the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232. The magnetic core is flat or circular. When the magnetic core is flat, a direction of a short diameter of the flat shape is a length direction of the vibration plate, and a direction of a long diameter of the flat shape is a width direction of the vibration plate. In this way, the entire coil assembly is closer to the fixed end of the vibration plate, so that the vibration end is extended, stiffness of the vibration end is reduced, and sensitivity is improved under the condition that a size of the housing remains unchanged.
In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic field generation member 2442, 2462 is a permanent magnet. In another embodiment, the first coil assembly 242 may only include the first coil 2424, and the first coil 2424 is directly connected to the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232, so that the AC magnetic field generated by the first coil 2424 being energized can enter the vibration plate 232. In one embodiment, only the first magnetic field assembly 244 or only the second magnetic field assembly 246 can be used.
A principle of the electromagnetic driving mechanism shown in FIG. 2 driving the vibration plate 232 is that when the first coil 2424 is supplied with an alternating current, the AC magnetic field generated by the first coil 2424 enters the vibration plate 232 through the first magnetic core 2422, so that the vibration plate 232 has polarity. Under the action of the fixed magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generation members 2442, 2462, the vibration plate 232 is made to vibrate back and forth in the vertical direction, thereby driving the sounding film 236 to agitate the air to make sound.
In summary, compared with the receiver shown in FIG. 1, the receiver shown in FIG. 2 is not provided with the driving rod 130 and the reed 140. Since the vibration plate 232 in FIG. 2 is made of a magnetic permeable material, and the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate is connected to the coil assembly 242, the AC magnetic field generated by the coil 2424 being energized directly acts with the fixed magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generation member 2442 and 2462 via the vibrating plate 232 to generate the driving force to push the vibrating plate 232 to produce vibration and sound. In other words, the vibration plate 232 made of the magnetic permeable material in the present invention has the function of the reed, that is, the vibration plate 232 and the reed are combined into one in the present invention, and no additional driving rods and reeds are required, thereby reducing the connection between the movable parts, simplifying the assembly process, and reducing the manufacturing cost.
Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic exploded view of the receiver shown in FIG. 2. Compared with FIG. 1, assemblies inside the receiver shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 are well arranged, and the stacked design makes the assembly process simple, which is very suitable for automated production.
Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a receiver according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the receiver shown in FIG. 2, the receiver shown in FIG. 5 is additionally equipped with a fixed block 250. The fixed block 250 is located in the first cavity 222. One end of the fixed block is fixed to the bottom surface of the first shell 212, and the other end of the fixed block is opposite to the magnetic core 2422 to tightly press the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232, so as to improve stability of the fixed end 2322. FIG. 6 is a schematic exploded view of the receiver shown in FIG. 5.
Please refer to FIG. 7, which is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the receiver according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The electromagnetic driving mechanism of the receiver shown in FIG. 7 is designed with double coils. A main difference between the receiver shown in FIG. 7 and the receiver shown in FIG. 2 is: the electromagnetic driving mechanism in FIG. 7 further includes a second coil assembly 248; the second magnetic field assembly 746 in FIG. 7 further includes a second magnetic permeable block 7464; and the vibration plate 232 is arranged between openings of the first shell 212 and the second shell 214.
Tn one embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the second coil assembly 248 is arranged in the first cavity 222 and is close to the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232.

The second coil 2484 is arranged on the first bottom surface of the first shell 212, one end of the second magnetic core 2482 is threaded in a hollow inner hole of the second coil 2484, and the other end protrudes from the hollow inner hole of the second coil 2484 to be connected to the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232. The second magnetic field assembly 746 includes a second magnetic field generation member 7462 that generates a fixed magnetic field and a second magnetic permeable block 7464. The second magnetic permeable block 7464 is fixed to the first bottom surface of the first shell 212, the second magnetic field generation member 7462 is fixed to the second magnetic permeable block 7464 and faces the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232 (or directly faces the first magnetic field generation member 2442), and a required gap is reserved between the second magnetic field generation member 7462 and the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232.
The electromagnetic driving mechanism in FIG. 7 is designed with double coils, which can drive the vibration plate 232 more effectively to vibrate and increase the sensitivity of the receiver. In addition, the two magnetic cores 2482, 2422 in FIG. 7 can be pressed against the fixed end 2322 of the vibration plate 232, thereby improving the stability of the fixed end 2322. FIG. 8 is a schematic exploded view of the receiver shown in FIG. 7.
Please refer to FIG. 9, which is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the receiver according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, wherein the electromagnetic driving mechanism of the receiver is also designed with double coils. A main difference between the receiver shown in FIG. 9 and the receiver shown in FIG. 7 is: the first magnetic field assembly 944 in FIG. 9 only includes a first magnetic field generation member 9442 and the second magnetic field assembly 946 only includes a second magnetic field generation member 9462. The first magnetic field generation member 9442 is directly fixed to the second bottom surface of the second shell 214 and faces the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232, and a required gap is reserved between the first magnetic field generation member 9442 and the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232. The second magnetic field generation member 9462 is directly fixed to the first bottom surface of the first shell 211 and faces the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232, and a required gap is reserved between the second magnetic field generation member 9462 and the free end 2324 of the vibration plate 232. The first magnetic field generation member 9442 and the second magnetic field generation member 9462 are placed opposite to each other. In other words, in the receiver shown in FIG. 9, the thickened magnetic field generation members 9442 and 9462 are mounted to the housing 210 by increasing a thickness of the magnetic field generation member without needing additional magnetic permeable blocks. FIG. 10 is a schematic exploded view of the receiver shown in FIG. 9.
Please refer to FIG. 11, which is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the receiver according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, wherein the electromagnetic driving mechanism of the receiver is also designed with double coils. A main difference between the receiver shown in FIG. 11 and the receiver shown in FIG. 7 is: an area on the first bottom surface of the first shell 212 for disposing the second magnetic field generation member 1462 protrudes toward the inside of the first shell 212 relative to other areas of the first bottom surface to form a first boss 2122 in FIG. 11, and an area on the second bottom surface of the second shell 214 for disposing the first magnetic field generation member 1442 protrudes toward the inside of the second shell 215 relative to other areas of the second bottom surface to form a second boss 2142 in FIG. 11.

Tn summary, the vibration plate 232 made of the magnetic permeable material in the present invention has the function of a reed, that is, the vibration plate 232 and the reed are combined into one in the present invention, and no additional driving rods and reeds are required. Therefore, the receiver of the present invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects.
(1) The assemblies inside the receiver are clearly structured, and the stacked design makes the assembly process simple, which is very suitable for automated production.
(2) The connection between the movable parts (for example, the driving rod and the reed) is reduced, and the reliability is higher.
(3) Fewer component parts and simpler assembly process lead to higher production efficiency.
(4) Fewer components and simpler assembly process facilitate cost reduction.
In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the terms such as “connection”, “connected”, “connecting”, “connect” and the like that indicate electrical connection indicate direct or indirect electrical connection.
It should be noted that any modifications made by a person skilled in the art to the specific implementations of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention. Correspondingly, the scope of the claims of the present invention is not merely limited to the foregoing specific implementations.
