Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of electro-acoustic technology. More specifically, it relates to a reinforcing part structure for a diaphragm of a speaker, as well as the diaphragm and the speaker to which the reinforcing part structure is applied.

BACKGROUND

A speaker, as a component which can convert electrical energy into sound, is widely used in electronic terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, notebooks, PDAs. A speaker structure typically includes a magnetic circuit system, a vibration system and an auxiliary system, wherein the vibration system essentially includes a diaphragm and a voice coil. When the speaker is in operation, the voice coil generates a lot of heat which cannot be easily dissipated to the outside, since the voice coil is located in a rear acoustic cavity of the speaker which is relatively closed.

Since a front acoustic cavity of the speaker is in communication with the outside through sound holes, a prior art speaker is typically provided with a reinforcing part (a DOME, also called an overlapping part) on the diaphragm, in order to enhance the performance of the high-frequency position of the product. Therefore, through the reinforcing part structure, the heat generated by the voice coil may be conducted from the rear acoustic cavity to the front acoustic cavity, and in turn the heat is dissipated to the outside through the air flow between the front acoustic cavity and the outside, thereby realizing heat dissipation from the speaker.

A prior art reinforcing part structure is typically made of a resin composite material, a metal material, or a composite material of metal and resin; however, such a reinforcing part structure has a low thermal conductivity and a poor heat conduction performance, and thus cannot meet the heat dissipation requirements of a micro speaker. Therefore, there is a need to provide a new reinforcing part structure with an excellent performance of heat conduction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To explain the present invention more clearly, the present invention will be further described below with reference to preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Similar parts are represented by the same reference numerals in the drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the following detailed embodiments are illustrative rather than restrictive, and should not be interpreted as limitation to the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a reinforcing part 1 for a diaphragm, wherein the shape of the reinforcing part 1 is not limited and depends on practical application, such as circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc.; the reinforcing part 1 is made into the shape of a plate, a sphere, etc. according to practical needs, and is overlapped on the diaphragm for direct use. The reinforcing part 1 includes a body layer. The body layer 10 is made of a material selected from one of metal material, resin material or carbon fiber material, and may be a thin plate through a corresponding process selected according to the respectively selected material of the body layer 10.

In order to improve heat transfer efficiency between the two sides of the body layer 10, the body layer 10 of the present invention includes: through holes 101 penetrating the surfaces of the two sides, and fillers 11 arranged in the through holes 101 and having a thermal conductivity greater than that of the body layer 10. Such structure can improve the heat conduction between the two sides of the body layer 10, thereby improving the overall heat conduction capability of the reinforcing part.

Further, the fillers 11 may be made of a material selected from one of graphene, copper or aluminum, and are heat-conducting particles. In this embodiment, the fillers 11 are a copper particles located in the through holes 101 of a steel sheet.

The outer surfaces of the fillers 11 and the inner walls of the through holes 101 are fitted onto each other. Preferably, the above two are fixedly connected by adhering or are fitted and fixed by interference fit. Such structure enhances the connection strength between the fillers 11 and the body layer 10, thereby improving the reliability of the reinforcing part 1.

In another embodiment, the fillers 11 are in a powder form. In order to increase the connection strength between the powdered fillers 11 and the through holes 101, the fillers 11 may be mixed with adhesive therein such that the fillers 11 are fixedly connected to the through holes 101.

Further, the body layer 10 includes a plurality of through holes 101 penetrating through the surfaces of the two sides, which are evenly distributed on the both layer 10 and each of which is provided with a filler 11, so as to further improve the heat conduction capability between the two sides of the body layer 10.

The cross-sectional shape of the through holes 101 provided on the body layer 10 may be a circle, an ellipse or a rectangle, and may be selected by those skilled in the art according to the practical need.

As shown in FIG. 2, the invention further provides a diaphragm 2. The diaphragm 2 includes a fixing part 21 fixed to a sound generator housing, a corrugated rim 22 integral with the fixing part 21, a central part 23 located within the corrugated rim 22, and a reinforcing part 1 bonded and fixed to the central part 23. The central part 23 is a hollowed-out structure, and the reinforcing part 1 is fixedly bonded to the hollowed-out part. Due to the aforementioned structure of the reinforcing part 1, there is high heat conduction capability between the two sides of the body layer 10, thereby improving the heat conduction capability between the two sides of the diaphragm.

The present invention also provides a speaker. The speaker includes a magnetic circuit system and a vibration system in cooperation with the magnetic circuit system. The vibration system includes the above-mentioned diaphragm 2 and a voice coil 3 fixedly bonded to one side of the diaphragm 2. In the speaker of the present invention, the heat generated by the voice coil 3 is conducted from the rear acoustic cavity to the front acoustic cavity through the diaphragm 2, and in turn is dissipated to the outside through the air flow between the front acoustic cavity and the outside. Since the diaphragm 2 has strong heat conduction capability and may quickly dissipate the heat from the speaker, as such, the speaker of the present invention has good heat dissipation capability and thereby improved operation reliability.
