As shown in
In the above embodiment, magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 are filled in the rear cavity and/or the rear cavity 32, to achieve a virtual increase effect in the resonance space of the acoustic rear cavity of the sound generating device 100 by the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1; moreover, magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 can attract each other under the action of magnetic force, thereby restricting the free flow between the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, avoiding or eliminating friction and collision between magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, and thus eliminating the flow noise generated by collisions between the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 and reducing the phenomenon that the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 break due to collisions between magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1. In this way, the broken materials of magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 can be prevented from entering the interior of the sound generating unit 2 to cause contamination, so that the acoustic performance of the sound generating device 100 can be effectively protected.
Here, the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 have a spherical or quasi spherical shape and have a diameter of 100 μm to 600 μm. The magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 may be filled only in the rear cavity 32, may be filled only in the front cavity, or may be filled in both the rear cavity 32 and the front cavity. When the sound-absorbing particles 1 are only filled in the front cavity, the high-frequency performance of the sound generating device can be adjusted. When the sound-absorbing particles 1 are only filled in the rear cavity, the low-frequency performance of the sound generating device can be adjusted. When the sound-absorbing particles 1 are filled in both the front cavity and the rear cavity, both the high-frequency performance and low-frequency performance can be adjusted. For convenience of description, various embodiments will be illustrated in the below by taking the case that the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 are filled in the rear cavity 32 as an example. The diameter of the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1 conforms to the volume of the rear cavity 32, and the diameter of the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1 ranges from 100 μm to 600 μm, so as to facilitate to manufacture and form particles when manufacturing magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, and to meet the requirements for the filling rate of the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 in the rear cavity 32.
In one embodiment, the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 include a porous matrix and a ferromagnetic material that are interconnected with each other, the ferromagnetic material is magnetized to allow the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 to have magnetism. Powder materials can be selected as the ferromagnetic material, the powdery porous matrix and ferromagnetic material are uniformly mixed and connected to form the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, and rapid attraction and desorption property to the gas in the rear chamber by the special physical pore structure inside the porous material is utilized to achieve a virtual increase in the acoustic rear cavity resonance space of the speaker. Of course, integrity materials can also be selected as the ferromagnetic material, the porous matrix is clad on the outer circumference of the ferromagnetic material to form the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1. Before magnetization, the manufactured magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 do not have magnetism to facilitate to be subpackaged and filled into the rear cavity 32; The magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 are subjected to magnetization processing after filling in the rear cavity 32. The ferromagnetic material is magnetized to have magnetism after being subjected to magnetization processing, causing the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 to be attracted together under the action of magnetic force. The porous matrix and the ferromagnetic material can be directly connected by an adhesive to form the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1. In other embodiments, other processing methods may also be used to connect the porous matrix and the ferromagnetic material together, for example, cladding the outside of the ferromagnetic material with the porous matrix or cladding the outside of the porous matrix with the ferromagnetic material.
In a reliability verification experiment, two groups of sound generating devices were arranged for reliability experiment. The two groups of sound generating devices were continuously powered on to operate for 144 h at 70° C. with a voltage of 3.18V and a powdery noise signal. After the experiment, the resonance frequency FO of the sound generating device was measured, and the magnetic sound-absorbing particles were disassembled and observed for whether there was breakage phenomenon. The difference between the two groups of sound generating devices was that, the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 filled in a group of sound generating device were not subjected to magnetization processing (i.e., there was no magnetic attraction force between the magnetic sound-absorbing particles in the rear cavity), whereas the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 filled in the other group of sound generating device were subjected to magnetization processing. Please refer to
In addition, the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1 also includes an adhesive, the adhesive is used to bond the powdery porous matrix and the ferromagnetic material. The porous matrix and the ferromagnetic material are bonded together through the adhesive, which provides appropriate viscosity, facilitates the forming of the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, and is beneficial for improving the mechanical strength of the preform after formation, prevents the ferromagnetic material from separating from the porous matrix, and ensures the magnetic durability of the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1. The adhesive may be one or more of polyacrylic acid, polyurethane, or polyvinyl acetate adhesives. The mass percentage content of the adhesive is 3% to 10%, so as to ensure that the porous matrix and ferromagnetic materials can be bonded together. However, during the process of manufacturing, excessive adhesive may block the gaps on the porous matrix, therefore controlling the amount of adhesive is beneficial for controlling the size and quantity of pores in the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1.
The porous matrix includes at least one of zeolite, activated carbon, porous alumina, porous silica, hydrated aluminosilicate, or metal organic framework material, and the porous matrix has a particle size of 0.1 μm to 80 μm. The metal organic framework material is composed of metal ions and organic small molecule ligand to form a porous material with a periodic network structure. The metal organic framework material has micropores with a pore size range of 0.3 to 0.8 nanometers and mesopores with a pore size range of 2 to 40 nanometers therein. Here, the metal ions include ion of at least one element of copper, iron, zinc, manganese, indium, cadmium, or cobalt; the small molecule ligand includes at least one of formic acid, malonic acid, tartaric acid, or citric acid.
Ferromagnetic material includes one or more of iron, cobalt, nickel, or lanthanide rare earth metals, and/or one or more oxides of iron, cobalt, nickel, or lanthanide rare earth metals, and the ferromagnetic material has a particle size of 0.01 μm to 80 μm. The ferromagnetic material made of the above materials may exhibit magnetism under the action of an external magnetic field, and the formed magnetic field strength is stable and difficult to demagnetize. Ferromagnetic material may specifically be selected from iron powder, nickel powder, cobalt powder, ferric oxide powder, ferrite powder, aluminum cobalt nickel alloy powder, neodymium iron boron powder, iron chromium cobalt alloy powder, samarium cobalt alloy powder, etc.
In the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, the mass percentage content of the porous matrix is 50% to 96%, the mass percentage content of the ferromagnetic material is 0.1% to 70%, and the mass percentage content of the adhesive is 3% to 10%. In an embodiment, in the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, the mass percentage content of the porous matrix is 72%, the mass percentage content of the ferromagnetic material is 20%, and the mass percentage content of the adhesive is 8%. The mass percentage content of the porous matrix and the mass percentage content of the ferromagnetic material in the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1 are balanced to ensure the sound-absorbing ability of the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, to control the magnetic field strength of the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1 after being magnetized, and to ensure that the porous matrix and the ferromagnetic material can be bonded and fastened.
In an embodiment, in the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, the mass percentage content of the porous matrix is 50%, the mass percentage content of the ferromagnetic material is 40%, and the mass percentage content of the adhesive is 10%. By increasing the mass percentage content of the ferromagnetic material as much as possible, the magnetic field strength formed by a single magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1 after being magnetized is improved, so as to ensure a tight connection between two adjacent magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1.
In an embodiment, in the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, the mass percentage content of the porous matrix is 94%, the mass percentage content of the ferromagnetic material is 1%, and the mass percentage content of the adhesive is 5%. When the volume of the rear cavity 32 is relatively small, the mass percentage content of the porous matrix can be increased, and the virtual increase effect in the resonance space of the rear cavity of the sound generating device 100 can be enhanced, so as to effectively reduce the resonant frequency of the speaker.
In addition, the sound generating device 100 further includes magnetic-permeable sound-absorbing particles, the magnetic-permeable sound-absorbing particles are filled in the rear cavity 32, and there is a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic-permeable sound-absorbing particles and the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, and there is a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic-permeable sound-absorbing particles in the magnetic field formed by the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1. Both the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 and the magnetic-permeable sound-absorbing particles have sound-absorbing particles functioned to increase the resonance space of the rear cavity, and the magnetic sound-absorbing particles are doped with magnetic-permeable metal powder or magnetic-permeable metal oxide powder, so that the magnetic-permeable sound-absorbing particles can be attracted to the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 or attracted to each other in the magnetic field formed by the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, thereby restricting the free flow between the sound-absorbing particles, avoiding or eliminating friction and collision between the sound-absorbing particles, eliminating the flow noise generated by collisions between the sound-absorbing particles, and reducing the phenomenon the magnetic sound-absorbing particles break due to collisions between magnetic sound-absorbing particles. In this way, the broken materials of magnetic sound-absorbing particles can be prevented from entering the interior of the sound generating unit to cause contamination, so that the acoustic performance of the sound generating device 100 can be effectively protected.
Here, the sound generating device 100 further includes an isolation mesh 4, and the isolation mesh 4 is arranged in the rear cavity 32 to divide the rear cavity 32 into two portions, and the sound generating unit 2 and the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 are arranged on opposite sides of the isolation mesh 4, respectively; or the isolation mesh 4 clads a surface of the sound generating unit 2 and covers at least a gas ventilation region of the sound generating unit 2; the mesh diameter of the isolation mesh 4 is smaller than the particle diameter of the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1. The mesh diameter of the isolation mesh 4 is smaller than the particle diameter of the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1. By arranging the isolation mesh 4 to isolate the magnetic sound-absorbing particles from the sound generating unit, gas can enter the rear chamber 32 through the isolation mesh 4, whereas the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 are blocked in the rear chamber 32 by the isolation mesh 4, preventing the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 from entering the chamber where the sound generating unit 2 is positioned and causing an impact on the sound generating unit 2. By setting the size of the pores on the isolation mesh 4, it is also possible to further restrict the partially broken magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 from entering the chamber where the sound generating unit 2 is positioned, thereby further ensuring the acoustic performance of the entire sound generating device 100.
The housing 3 is provided with a leakage hole that communicates the rear cavity 32 with the outside. The leakage hole communicates the rear chamber 32 with the exterior of the housing 3 to balance the air pressure inside the rear chamber 32.
When manufacturing the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, a porous material, a ferromagnetic material, and an adhesive are mixed in a predetermined proportion to form a wet material; The mixture is manufactured into a plurality of uniformly sized particle embryos, and the particle embryos are dried to obtain magnetic the sound-absorbing particles 1.
Here, it is possible to uniformly disperse the porous material and the ferromagnetic material into water in a determined proportion to form a mixture at first, and then add an adhesive to the mixture in a predetermined proportion and stir uniformly to form a wet material; Of course, it is also possible to replace water with other solvents, and mixing the porous material and the ferromagnetic material at first is beneficial for uniform mixing of the porous material and the ferromagnetic material. Alternatively, it is also possible to directly add the porous material and the ferromagnetic material into the adhesive aqueous solution and perform mixing and stirring to form a wet material.
The particle embryo may be formed by agglomeration granulation, extrusion granulation, spray granulation, etc., and then, the particle embryo having a particle size of 100 μm to 600 μm may screened out to be dried to obtain the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1. It is also possible to fill the mixture into the mold to form the particle embryo having a particle size of 100 μm to 600 μm, and dry the obtained particle embryo to obtain the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1.
In an embodiment, dry zeolite material and iron(II,III) oxide material are added to solvent water in a determined proportion, and mechanically stirred for 1.5 h at 500 rpm, to obtain a uniformly dispersed mixed suspension solution; polyacrylic acid adhesive is added to the mixture and mechanically stirred for 0.5 h at 500 rpm to form a wet material. Here, the added mass of zeolite is 27% relative to the total mass of the above-described slurry; the added mass of the ferric oxide material is 2.8% relative to the total mass of the above-described slurry; the added mass of polyurethane is 0.2% relative to the total mass of the above-described mixed suspension solution. The mass of solids in the slurry is 30% relative to the total mass of the above-described mixed suspension solution.
Uniformly dispersed wet materials are added into the spray drying granulator, the inlet temperature of the spray drying granulator is set to 140-160° C., the outlet temperature of the spray drying granulator is set to 100-110° C., the spray pressure is set to 0.5 MPa and drying and granulating is performed to obtain preliminarily formed particles.
The preliminarily formed particles are heated, solidified, and dried for 0.5 h in an oven at 120° C. to obtain dry particles. The above-described dried particles are screened out by using a sieve to obtain magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 having a particle size of about 100 μm to 600 μm.
The magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 are filled into the rear cavity 32 of the sound generating device 100 to be assembled; the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 filled in the rear cavity 32 are subjected to magnetization processing to manufacture the sound generating device 100 as described above.
When manufacturing the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1, doping the ferromagnetic material during manufacture of the magnetic sound-absorbing particle 1 enables the manufactured magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 to be magnetized and thus to have magnetism. The rear cavity 32 of the sound generating device 100 formed in this way is filled with the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 therein, the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 can be attracted to each other under the action of magnetic force, thereby restricting the free flow between particles, avoiding or eliminating friction and collision between magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, eliminating the flow noise generated by the collision between magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1, and reducing the phenomenon that the magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 break due to collisions between magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1. In this way, the broken materials of magnetic sound-absorbing particles 1 can be prevented from entering the interior of the sound generating unit 2 to cause contamination, so that the acoustic performance of the sound generating device 100 can be effectively protected.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present disclosure. Under the inventive concept of the present disclosure, equivalent structural changes made using the description and accompanying drawings of the present disclosure, or direct/indirect disclosures in other related technical fields, are all included in the patent protection scope of the present disclosure.
