Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of electro-acoustic technology, and more specifically, to a blocking piece covering the sound hole of a loudspeaker module and an assembling method thereof, a loudspeaker module.


BACKGROUND

With the growth of the consumer electronics market, a large quantity of consumer electronics products including cell phones, laptops are widely used, and correspondingly, loudspeaker modules serving as an important acoustic part in the consumer electronics products are widely demanded. When the requirements on the consumer electronics products are getting higher and higher, the performances of the loudspeaker modules are attracting more and more attentions.


Usually, a loudspeaker module comprises a case and a loudspeaker unit accommodated and fixed in the case, wherein a sound hole is disposed on the case and near to the loudspeaker unit, so that sound waves emitted by the loudspeaker unit may propagate to the outside of the loudspeaker module through the sound hole. A net is commonly attached to the sound hole so as to improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the loudspeaker module and in the meantime to adjust the acoustic performance of the same. The net is usually made of metal materials for convenient assembling thereof. A metal net exhibits higher hardness and is easy to locate and fix when assembled, however, it is made relatively thick and has relatively large meshes with a diameter of 0.1 mm and above due to its material and processing limitations, which results in poor waterproof and dustproof effects and easy corrosion, and thus brings negative influence on the performances of the loudspeaker module. In addition, a metal net may increase the metal using area in the loudspeaker module, which may affect some parts of the terminal products.


The net may also be a nonmetallic flexible net, such as a flexible net made of a nylon material, which may have a thin thickness and small meshes, and often be manually attached to the surface of the case of a loudspeaker module. However, a flexible net is soft and thus not easy to manipulate when attached, which may cause a low assembling efficiency and easily occurring unqualified products. Furthermore, a flexible net is easy to have a rough selvedge, which may affect the appearance of the products.


A damping cloth or a metal net is often manually or automatically attached to the sound hole of a loudspeaker module during its assembling process. The manual attachment method is poor in positioning the damping cloth and has a low assembling efficiency, while the automatic attachment method has a high cost of production. In addition, the damping cloth attached to the sound hole of a loudspeaker module may affect the appearance of the module and increase the volume of the same. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a modification to overcome the defects of the prior loudspeaker module, the net covering the sound hole of the same and the assembling method thereof.


SUMMARY

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a blocking piece covering the sound hole of a loudspeaker module and an assembling method thereof, a loudspeaker module. On the one hand, a nonmetallic flexible net with thin thickness and small mesh diameter is utilized in the assembling method, which has advantages of good waterproof and dustproof performance and acoustic performance, high reliability, high space utilization rate, small metal using area, and high production efficiency, on the other hand, the assembling of the nonmetallic flexible net is convenient to operate, and the assembling efficiency and assembling quality are improved.


In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a blocking piece covering the sound hole of a loudspeaker module, wherein the blocking piece is disposed at a position where the sound hole is located on the case of the loudspeaker module and is covered on the sound hole, the blocking piece is a nonmetallic flexible net, and is integrally formed on the case by injection moulding.


Preferably, the thickness of the blocking piece may be in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm, and the diameter of the meshes of the blocking piece may be in the range of 0.03 mm to 0.1 mm. Further preferably, the thickness of the blocking piece may be in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm, and the diameter of the meshes of the blocking piece may be in the range of 0.03 mm to 0.05 mm.

The blocking piece made of a nonmetallic net according to the present invention is disposed at a position where the sound hole is located and integrally formed by injection moulding on the case of a loudspeaker module, which is advantageous in effectively adjusting the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker module without affecting the volume thereof, and improving the utilization rate of the inner space of the loudspeaker module. The blocking piece and the case are integrally formed by injection moulding so that the blocking piece and the case are securely combined to prevent the blocking piece from falling off and improve the reliability of the loudspeaker module. The nonmetallic blocking piece and the nonmetallic case are integrally formed by injection moulding so that the metal using area in the loudspeaker module can be reduced, and in the mean time, no other parts need to be attached during the production process, and thus the production efficiency can be increased. In a word, the blocking piece covering the sound hole of a loudspeaker module according to the present invention allows the module to have advantages of good acoustic performance, high reliability, high space utilization rate, and high production efficiency.


The present invention further provides an assembling method of a blocking piece covering the sound hole of a loudspeaker module, the assembling method comprises the following steps of:

    • (1) forming a substrate, wherein a plurality of hollow holes are arranged on the substrate;
    • (2) preparing a nonmetallic flexible mesh ribbon, attaching the flexible mesh ribbon to the substrate and having all the hollow holes covered with the flexible mesh ribbon;
    • (3) putting the substrate attached with the flexible mesh ribbon in a first injection moulding mold, and forming by injection moulding a plurality of annular first injection moulding bodies on the flexible mesh ribbon portions covering the plurality of hollow holes, wherein the annular first injection moulding bodies are integrated with the flexible mesh ribbon portions;
    • (4) obtaining a plurality of separate first injection moulding parts by cutting the flexible mesh ribbon from the peripheries of the first injection moulding bodies, wherein each first injection moulding part comprises a first injection moulding body and a blocking piece, the blocking piece is integrated with the first injection moulding body and cut from the flexible mesh ribbon;
    • (5) putting the first injection moulding part in a second injection moulding mold, and forming in a second injection moulding process the case of a loudspeaker module integrated with the first injection moulding part, wherein the inner hole of the first injection moulding body forms the sound hole of the loudspeaker module.


Preferably, between the step (2) and step (3), location holes may be opened on the substrate and on the both sides of the flexible mesh ribbon, and the substrate attached with the flexible mesh ribbon may be fixed in the first injection moulding mold through the location holes.


Preferably, between step (2) and step (3), holes may be formed on both sides of each of the flexible mesh ribbon portions covering the hollow holes so that a flexible mesh ribbon beam is formed between two holes, and the first injection moulding bodies are formed on the flexible mesh ribbon beams, wherein the flexible mesh ribbon beams are greater in length than the first injection moulding bodies, and fully cover the inner holes of the first injection moulding bodies in the width direction thereof.


Preferably, the width of the flexible mesh ribbon beams may be slightly smaller than the width between two outer edges of each first injection moulding body in the width direction thereof, so that the two edges of each flexible mesh ribbon beam may be embedded in the corresponding first injection moulding body during the injection moulding process thereof.


Preferably, in the step (5), the first injection moulding part may form a portion of the walls of the case of the loudspeaker module in the second injection moulding process, and thus the blocking piece embedded in the first injection moulding part may be embedded on the case of the loudspeaker module or in the inner surface of the case of the same.


Preferably, the thickness of the flexible mesh ribbon may be in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm, and the diameter of the meshes of the flexible mesh ribbon may be in the range of 0.03 mm to 0.1 mm. Further preferably, the thickness of the flexible mesh ribbon may be in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm, and the diameter of the meshes of the flexible mesh ribbon may be in the range of 0.03 mm to 0.05 mm.


In the assembling method according to the present invention, the substrate has a long strip shape, a plurality of hollow holes are arranged on the substrate, one first injection moulding part is formed at each single hollow hole in the subsequent steps, and thus a plurality of first injection moulding parts may be formed in one run, which improves the production efficiency. Annular first injection bodies are formed on the flexible mesh ribbon portions covering the hollow holes through a first injection moulding process, wherein the annular first injection moulding bodies are integrated with the flexible mesh ribbon portions, then separate first injection moulding parts can be obtained by cutting the flexible mesh ribbon from the peripheries of the first injection moulding bodies. Therefore, the peripheries of the blocking pieces made of a flexible net are fixed by the first injection moulding bodies, which solves the problem that a flexible net is soft and easy to deform, and thus is not easy to be assembled. Subsequently, the case of the loudspeaker module is formed and the first injection moulding part is integrated with the case by the second injection moulding process, wherein the inner hole of the first injection moulding body serves as the sound hole of the loudspeaker module. At this point, the assembling of the flexible net is done. The assembling method according to the present invention makes the assembling operation of the blocking piece simple and easy to perform, and thus improves the assembling efficiency. In addition, the assembling of the flexible net is achieved by injection moulding, the blocking piece and the case can be securely combined to prevent the blocking piece from falling off due to unfirm sticking thereof in the prior art.


Furthermore, holes may be formed on both sides of each of the flexible mesh ribbon portions covering the hollow holes before the first injection moulding process. The operation of cutting the planar flexible mesh ribbon to form holes is easier to perform than the operation of cutting the flexible mesh ribbon from both sides of each of the molded first injection moulding bodies. After the first injection moulding bodies are formed by injection moulding on the flexible mesh ribbon beams formed between the holes, the flexile mesh ribbon needs only to be cut from other two narrower sides of each of the first injection moulding parts, which makes the cutting of the flexible mesh ribbon less difficult and thus improves the cutting efficiency.


Furthermore, the width of the flexible mesh ribbon beams is slightly smaller than the width between two outer edges of each of the first injection moulding bodies in the width direction thereof, so that the two edges of each of the flexible mesh ribbon beams may be embedded in the corresponding first injection moulding body during the injection moulding process thereof. Thus, the two sides of each of the first injection moulding parts will not have a rough selvedge, so that the appearance of the products looks decent, meanwhile, the blocking pieces can be securely integrated with the first injection bodies.


In addition, in the assembling method according to the present invention, the blocking pieces are made of a nonmetallic flexible net, for example, a nylon mesh ribbon, therefore, the blocking pieces can be made thinner with a thickness of 0.05 mm or so, which can reduce space utilization and thus will not increase the volume of the products; the diameter of the meshes of the flexible mesh ribbon may be very small, for example, in the range of 0.03 mm to 0.05 mm, which can improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the loudspeaker module. Furthermore, the blocking pieces will not get rusty, which can improve the lifetime and the reliability of the loudspeaker module.
