Generally, a region enclosed by a side of the diaphragm on which the ring is disposed and an inner wall of the enclosure together is a front cavity region, and a region enclosed by a side of the diaphragm that is away from a protruding direction of the ring and the inner wall of the enclosure together is a rear cavity region. The front cavity region is usually used to help control medium- and high-frequency sound quality of the speaker 100, and the rear cavity region is usually used to help control low-frequency sound quality of the speaker. In this implementation, an in-cavity cross-sectional area of the front cavity 101 gradually increases and expands from an end away from the sound outlet hole 103 to a location of the sound outlet hole 103, so that a cross section of the front cavity 101 is roughly horn-shaped.
The diaphragm 21 vibrates to push an airflow to flow from the front cavity 101 to the sound outlet hole 103.
A hole wall of the sound outlet hole 103 includes a first hole wall 1031 and a second hole wall 1033 that are disposed opposite to and roughly parallel to each other. The second hole wall 1033 is fastened to the first inner bottom wall 111, and the first hole wall 1031 and the second hole wall 1033 are tilted relative to a second direction toward a direction away from the first inner bottom wall 111, to guide a flow direction of an airflow, that is, guide sound output. As shown in
The diaphragm 21 is tilted relative to the first inner bottom wall 111, and the diameter of the end of the front cavity 101 that is in communication with the sound outlet hole 103 is greater than the diameter of the end of the front cavity 101 that is away from the sound outlet hole 103. In other words, an in-cavity cross-sectional area of the end of the front cavity 101 that is in communication with the sound outlet hole 103 is greater than an in-cavity cross-sectional area of the end of the front cavity 101 that is away from the sound outlet hole 103, thereby making an airflow gentle, reducing turbulence intensity, and reducing intensity of a vortex caused by a structural mutation of a side of the diaphragm 21 that is adjacent to the sound outlet hole 103, for example, a structural mutation of the front cavity that is caused by a height of the ring 2113 of the diaphragm 21. Because occurrence possibilities of a vortex and turbulence of the front cavity channel are reduced, noise is reduced, a sound effect of the speaker 100 is improved, and user experience is improved. Referring to
In this implementation, the first inner bottom wall 111 extends roughly in a plane defined by the second direction and a third direction (for example, a Y direction shown in
Surfaces of the two installation parts 1151 and the two first pads 1153 that are away from the first inner bottom wall 111 are bonded to a surface of the diaphragm 21 that faces the first inner bottom wall 111, and the side surface of the stopper console 117 that is adjacent to the first installation console 115 is bonded to the side surface of the sound production monomer 20. Surfaces of the two installation parts 1151 and the two first pad parts 1153 that are away from the first inner bottom wall 111 are bonded to a surface of the sound production monomer 20 that faces the first inner bottom wall 111, so that the sound production monomer 20 faces the bottom of the first inner bottom wall 111, and a sealed connection between the sound production monomer 20 and the first housing 13 is implemented, thereby improving water resistance and air tightness of the speaker 100. The side surface of the stopper console 117 that is adjacent to the first installation console 115 is fastened to the sound production monomer 20 by using fixing glue, to improve connection stability between the first housing 11 and the sound production monomer 20.
In an implementation, when the speaker 100 is assembled, the sound production monomer 20 faces the bottom of the first inner bottom wall 111, and a total of four top surfaces that correspond to the two installation parts 1151 and the two first pad parts 1153 and that are away from the first inner bottom wall 111 are coated with sealing glue, to prevent air leakage caused by a glue failure between the diaphragm 21 of the sound production monomer 20 and the first housing 11 during an air tightness test. Four side surfaces of the sound production monomer 20 that correspond to the stopper console 117 and the first installation console 115 are coated with glue, to prevent air tightness of the speaker 100 from being affected by air leakage caused by a gap of sealing glue at the bottom of the sound production monomer 20 during the air tightness test.
The first housing 11 further includes a plurality of locking protrusions 119, the plurality of locking protrusions 119 protrude, at intervals, from a top surface of the first installation console 115 that is away from the first inner bottom wall 111, and the locking protrusions 119 are fastened to the stopper console 117. The locking protrusions 119 are opposed to the sound production monomer 20, so that a possibility that the sound production monomer 20 is loose and shake can be reduced, thereby improving sound quality of the speaker 100. In this implementation, two locking protrusions 119 spaced apart are disposed on each installation part 1151 and each first pad part 1153.

Alternatively, a part of the first installation console 115 is disposed at an end of the first inner sidewall 113 that is adjacent to the sound outlet hole 103, provided that the first installation console 115 can provide a cushion for the end of the sound production monomer 20 that is adjacent to the sound outlet hole 103.
The second installation console 135 includes two installation parts 1351 and two second pad parts 1353. Each installation part 1351 is fastened between the two second pad parts 1353. The installation part 1351 extends in the third direction, and the second pad part 1353 extends in the second direction. A height of a top surface of the second pad part 1353 that is away from the second inner bottom wall 131 relative to the second inner bottom wall 131 gradually decreases from an end of the second pad part 1353 that is away from the sound outlet hole 103 to an end of the second pad part 1353 that is adjacent to the sound outlet hole 103. In this way, the sound production monomer 20 can be stably accommodated in the enclosure 10, and a possibility that the sound production monomer 20 is loose and shakes can be reduced.
It may be understood that the second housing 13 may be omitted from the enclosure 10, or the first housing 11 and the second housing 13 may be integrated.
