DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENT

The present disclosure will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment. To make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure is described in further detail together with the figure and the embodiment. It should be understood the specific embodiment described hereby is only to explain the disclosure, not intended to limit the disclosure.


Please refer to FIGS. 1-7, a sound device 100 provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a frame 1 having a receiving space 10, a magnet system 2 received in the receiving space 10, and a first vibration system 3 and a second vibration system 4 separately arranged on two sides of the magnet system 2. The first vibration system 3 and the second vibration system 4 are separately mounted on two opposite sides of the frame 1.


The magnet system 2 includes a first inner yoke 21, a main magnet 22 fixed to the first inner yoke 21, a side yoke 23 fixed to the frame 1, a first side yoke 24 fixed to one side of the side magnet 23 facing the first vibration system 3, and a connection portion 25 connecting the first inner yoke 21 and the first side yoke 24. Therefore, a first magnetic gap 26 is formed between the first side yoke 24 and the main magnet 22; a second magnetic gap 27 is formed between the first inner yoke 21 and the side magnet 23. It can be understood that the sound device 100 is in a rectangle shape. Correspondingly, the frame 1 is also rectangular. In one embodiment, the side magnet 23 is fixed to the frame 1 along a long axis. In another words, the side magnet 23 extends along the long axis of the frame 1. The connection portion 25 connects the first inner yoke 21 with an edge of the first side yoke 24 along a short axis.


As shown in FIGS. 3-4, the first vibration system 3 includes a first diaphragm 31 fixed to the frame 1, a first coil 32 inserted into the first magnetic gap 26, and a first FPC 33 electrically connected with the first coil 32. The first coil 32 is in a rectangle shape and surrounds the main magnet 22. The first coil 32 is electrically activated to drive the first diaphragm 31 to generate sound.


The second vibration system 4 includes a second diaphragm 41 fixed to the frame 1, a second coil 42 inserted into the second magnetic gap 27, and a second FPC 42 electrically connected with the second coil 42. The second coil 42 is malposed with the first coil 32. The second coil 42 is electrically activated to drive the second diaphragm 41 to generate sound. Specifically, a projection of the first coil 32 along a vibration direction is located inside the second coil 42. The first coil 32 and the second coil 42 are both rectangular.


Furthermore, the sound device 100 includes a front cover 5 above the second diaphragm 41. The front cover 5 is located on one side of the second diaphragm 41 away from the second coil 42. A sound hole 51 is provided on the front cover 5. The sound generated by the second diaphragm 41 is transmitted to outside through the sound hole 51.


As shown in FIGS. 2-6, the first FPC 33 includes a first fixation portion 331 fixed to the frame 1, a first welding portion 332 welded to the first coil 32, and a first elastic portion 333 connecting the first fixation portion 331 with the first welding portion 332; the first elastic portion 333 is spaced apart from the first side yoke 24 along the vibration direction; the first welding portion 332 is fixed to a side of the first side yoke 24 facing the first diaphragm 31. Specifically, the first FPC 33 further includes a first bending portion 334 bending from one end of the first elastic portion 333 away from the first fixation portion 331 and extending towards the first side yoke 24; the first welding portion 332 extends from one end of the first bending portion 334 away from the first elastic portion 333. That is, the first bending portion 334 connects the first elastic portion 333 and the first welding portion 332. By fixing to first welding portion 332 to the first side yoke 24, a height difference is formed between the first elastic portion 333 and the first welding portion 332. Thus, an avoidance groove on the first side yoke 24 is no longer needed to avoid the first welding portion 332, thereby effectively avoiding the interference between the first welding portion 332 and the first side yoke 24 during vibration, and improving the magnetic field BL of the magnet system 2 and hence strengthening the magnetic field performance.


Owing that the side magnet 23 is fixed to the frame 1 along the long axis, the first elastic portion 333 extends along the long axis. Furthermore, a protrusion 11 extending towards the first coil 32 is provided on the frame 1; the first elastic portion 333 is fixed to one side of the protrusion 11 facing the first diaphragm 31; the first bending portion 334 is fixed to the protrusion 11. In this manner, the impact of the first elastic portion 333 on the first welding portion 332 during vibration is accordingly reduced. The first welding portion 332 is fixed to the first side yoke 24 more firmly, thereby improving the reliability of the sound device 100.


The magnet system 2 further includes a second inner yoke 28 fixed to one side of the main magnet 22 away from the first inner yoke 21, and a second side yoke 29 fixed to one side of the side magnet 23 facing the second diaphragm 41.


In addition, the second FPC 43 includes a second fixation portion 431 fixed to one end of the second coil 42 away from the second diaphragm 41, a second welding portion 432 fixed to the frame 1, a second elastic portion 433 connecting the second fixation portion 431 with the second welding portion 432, and a third welding portion 434 extending from the second fixation portion 431 to outside of the second coil 42; the second coil 42 is electrically connected with the third welding portion 434. Specifically, the second vibration system 4 further includes two second FPCs 43; two second FPCs 43 are arranged on two opposite sides of the second coil 43 along the short axis


In one embodiment, the sound device 100 further includes a first conductive member 6 and a second conductive member 7 both fixed to the frame 1. The second FPC 43 is electrically connected with external circuit through the first conductive member 6. The first FPC 33 is electrically connected with external circuit through the second conductive member 7.


Compared with the related art, the sound device in present disclosure includes a frame, a magnet system, a first vibration system and a second vibration system. The magnet system includes a first inner yoke, a main magnet fixed to the first inner yoke, a side magnet fixed to the frame, a first side yoke fixed to the side magnet, and a connection portion connecting the first inner yoke with the first side yoke. A first coil of the first vibration system is inserted in to a first magnetic gap formed between the main magnet and the first side yoke. A first FPC of the first vibration system includes a first fixation portion fixed to the frame, a first welding portion welded to the first coil, and a first elastic portion connecting the first fixation portion with the first welding portion; the first elastic portion is spaced apart from the first side yoke along a vibration direction; the first welding portion is fixed to a side of the first side yoke facing the first diaphragm. By fixing to first welding portion to the first side yoke, a height difference is formed between the first elastic portion and the first welding portion. Thus, an avoidance groove on the first side yoke is no longer needed to avoid the first welding portion, thereby effectively avoiding the interference between the first welding portion and the first side yoke during vibration, and improving the magnetic field BL of the magnet system and hence strengthening the magnetic field performance.


It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present exemplary embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms where the appended claims are expressed.
