The present disclosure relates to the technical field of loudspeaker modules, and particularly relates to a sound absorbing assembly for a loudspeaker module and a loudspeaker module.
In recent years, the market imposes increasingly high requirements on the performance of loudspeaker modules, and the application of sound absorbing particles is increasingly extensive. In the prior art, when sound absorbing particles are applied within a loudspeaker module, usually a small cavity is designed in the rear vocal cavity within the housing of the loudspeaker. The small cavity is filled with the sound absorbing particles, a net cloth is injection molded at a sound penetration hole of the small cavity by integral molding technique to form a sealing device, the small cavity communicates with the vocal cavity via the net cloth, and the sound absorbing particles perform the sound absorption function.
In such a design, in order to ensure that the net cloth can be firmly injection molded on a small cavity, the wall thickness of the small cavity must be designed to be thick enough, for supporting the net cloth. However, that causes the vocal cavity space to reduce, which degrades the sound quality. Furthermore, by using that approach, the injection molding has low yield, and has a high requirement on the injection molding machine, which increases the production cost.
In view of the problems of the prior art that the sound absorbing particles filling structure results in a small vocal cavity space and that injection molding has low yield, the present disclosure proposes a sound absorbing assembly for a loudspeaker module and a loudspeaker module, to overcome the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a sound absorbing assembly for a loudspeaker module, wherein the sound absorbing assembly comprises a holding shell, the holding shell is provided with a receiving trough, the receiving trough is filled with a sound absorbing material, the holding shell is fixed within a rear vocal cavity of the loudspeaker module by injection molding, a bottom of the receiving trough is provided with a sound penetration hole, and an interior of the receiving trough communicates with the rear vocal cavity via the sound penetration hole.
In some embodiments, the holding shell is a metal stamping part, or is an injection molded part.
In some embodiments, a trough depth of the receiving trough is 1.5 mm.
In some embodiments, a material of the metal stamping part is stainless steel or copper alloy, and a plate thickness of the metal stamping part is 0.15 mm.
In some embodiments, two opposite edges of the holding shell are respectively provided with a fixing lug, and when the holding shell is being fixed by injection molding, the fixing lugs are injection molded within a housing of a vocal cavity of the loudspeaker module.
In some embodiments, a trough wall of the holding shell is also provided with sound penetration holes.
In some embodiments, the sound penetration hole is of a circle shape, with a diameter of 0.1 mm, and a plurality of the sound penetration holes are evenly distributed.
In some embodiments, the sound absorbing material is non-foaming porous particles.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a loudspeaker module, wherein the sound absorbing assembly according to any one of the above items is installed within a rear vocal cavity of the loudspeaker module.
In some embodiments, a gap is between a bottom of the holding shell and a bottom of the rear vocal cavity, and a width of the gap is 0.8 mm.
The advantages of the present disclosure are:
The sound absorbing assembly of the present disclosure is provided with a receiving trough on the holding shell, and the sound penetration holes of the receiving trough form sound transmission channels, to enable the sound absorbing material placed within the receiving trough to perform the sound absorbing function, to improve the acoustic quality of the loudspeaker. The holding shell has a thin wall thickness and a high strength, which can save the space of the vocal cavity, and facilitates improving the acoustic quality of the product. Furthermore, the holding shell is integrally fixed within a rear vocal cavity of the loudspeaker module by injection molding, and compared with injection molding net cloth, the injection molding of the holding shell has a high yield, and has low requirements on the injection molding process, which can save the cost and facilitates mass production.
The present disclosure will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the following drawing figures, wherein like numerals denote like elements, and:
In order to make the objects, the technical solutions and the advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in further detail in conjunction with the drawings.
As shown in
The sound absorbing material 12 placed within the receiving trough 113 is non-foaming porous particles, such as activated carbon, natural zeolite powder, active silica and molecular sieve.
The holding shell 11 is a metal stamping part, the material of the metal stamping part is stainless steel or copper alloy, and a plate thickness of the metal stamping part is 0.15 mm Using the metal material can ensure the strength of the holding shell 11 while using the thin-wall structure to save the space of the vocal cavity, to more firmly load the sound absorbing material 12. In addition, stamping is a mature process, has low manufacturing cost and high qualification rate. Before stamping, the stamping part may be provided with sound penetration holes 111 by etching.
The sound penetration hole 111 is of a circle shape, with a diameter of 0.1 mm, and a plurality of the sound penetration holes 111 are evenly distributed. More preferably, the trough wall of the holding shell 11 is also provided with the sound penetration holes 111, to increase sound channels, and enable the sound absorbing material 12 to exhibit a better sound absorbing effect.
The depth of the receiving trough 113 of the holding shell 11 is 1.5 mm, and certainly, may also be adjusted according to the size of the rear vocal cavity of the loudspeaker module.
Two opposite edges of the trough of the holding shell 11 are respectively provided with a fixing lug 112, and when the holding shell 11 is being fixed by injection molding, the fixing lugs 112 are injection molded within a housing of a vocal cavity of the loudspeaker module.
In conclusion, the sound absorbing assembly of the present disclosure is provided with a receiving trough on the holding shell, and the sound penetration holes of the receiving trough form sound transmission channels, to enable the sound absorbing material placed within the receiving trough to perform the sound absorbing function, to improve the acoustic quality of the loudspeaker. In a preferable embodiment, the holding shell employs a stamping part, and has a thin wall thickness and a high strength, which can save the space of the vocal cavity, and facilitates improving the acoustic quality of the product. Furthermore, the holding shell is integral and is fixed within the rear vocal cavity of the loudspeaker module by injection molding, and compared with injection molding net cloth on a small cavity, the injection molding of the holding shell has a high yield, and has low requirements on the injection molding process, which can save the cost and facilitates mass production.
