Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of electro-acoustics, and more particularly, to a speaker device having good medium-high frequency performance.

BACKGROUND ART

With the development of science and technology, portable electronic devices attract widespread attention. As a major sound generation unit of a portable electronic terminal, a speaker device directly affects the use effects of the portable electronic devices. With increasingly improved requirements for audio effects of the portable electronic terminals, the acoustic performance of the speaker devices attracts more and more attention.

A conventional speaker device comprises a vibration system, a magnetic circuit system and an auxiliary system. The auxiliary system is used for accommodating and fixing the vibration system and the magnetic circuit system. The vibration system comprises a voice coil, a diaphragm and a centering disk. A central position of the centering disk is provided with a reinforcement portion. The magnetic circuit system comprises a magnet and a magnetic conductive piece. The magnetic circuit system is provided with a magnetic gap, into which the voice coil is provided. As current of the conductive voice coil in the magnetic field changes, the voice coil vibrates under Lorentz force, and thereby driving the diaphragm to vibrate to make a sound. For the speaker device of this structure, its high-frequency frequency response curve may fall sharply in a dozen of KHz, which may generate a high-frequency cutoff frequency, making it impossible to generate acoustic waves higher in frequency and better in acoustic quality. Due to limitations on materials and process of conventional speaker devices, it is difficult to increase the high frequency cut-off frequency, and it is also difficult to significantly improve the medium-high frequency effect of the speaker devices.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved speaker device to overcome the defects of the speaker devices in the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the specific embodiment according to the speaker device of the present invention comprises a vibration system, a magnetic circuit system and an auxiliary system. The auxiliary system comprises a front cover 11 and a housing 12. The front cover 11 fits with the housing 12 to accommodate and fix the vibration system and the magnetic circuit system. The vibration system comprises a diaphragm 4, a centering disk 3 and a voice coil 5 fixedly joined with the diaphragm 4. The magnetic circuit system comprises a magnet and a magnetic conductive member. As shown in FIG. 2, the magnetic circuit system is provided with a magnetic gap, into which the voice coil 5 suspends. When an external electrical signal enters into the voice coil 5, current of the voice coil 5 positioned in the magnetic field changes, so that the voice coil 5 vibrates up and down by Lorentz force. Vibration of the voice coil 5 drives the diaphragm 4 to vibrate, and vibration of the diaphragm 4 incites air to make sounds.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the speaker device of the present invention, the centering disk 3 comprises a first fixing portion 31, and a second fixing portion 32 provided in the first fixing portion 31. The first fixing portion 31 is connected to the second fixing portion 32 through a connecting arm 33. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a central position of the second fixing portion 32 of the centering disk 3 is provided with a piezoelectric sheet 2. In the piezoelectric speaker of the present invention, as another sound source, the piezoelectric sheet 2 cooperates with the sound source composed of the voice coil-diaphragm. The sound produced by the piezoelectric sheet 2 has good high frequency effect, and thereby supplementing the audio signal emitted by the voice coil-diaphragm sound generation structure. A signal emitted by the piezoelectric sheet 2 is mixed with an audio signal emitted by the voice coil-diaphragm, such that a medium-high frequency effect of the speaker device is effectively improved, and the acoustic performance of the speaker device is improved.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the speaker device of the embodiment, the second fixing portion 32 of the centering disk 3 has an annular structure. In the manufacturing process of the speaker device of the embodiment, an outer periphery of the piezoelectric sheet 2 is fixedly joined with the second fixing portion 32. Since the second fixing portion 32 has an annular structure, the weight of the vibration system is reduced, and the acoustic performance of the speaker device is improved.

For the diaphragm 4 of the embodiment, the central position of the plane portion also has an annular structure corresponding to the piezoelectric sheet 2, and the diaphragm 4 formed by removing materials from the central position may reduce the weight of the vibration system and improve the acoustic performance of the speaker device.

As shown in FIG. 3, the centering disk 3 is provided with a group of second pads 32b corresponding to the voice coil and the second pads 32b are welded to lead wire of the voice coil.

Each of the first fixing portion 31, the second fixing portion 32 and the connecting arm 33 is provided with the conductive circuit thereon to ensure that the piezoelectric sheet and the voice coil are electrically connected to the external circuits.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the speaker device of the embodiment, the piezoelectric sheet 2 is provided at a side of the centering disk 3 away from the diaphragm 4. Such a design facilitates electrical connections of the piezoelectric sheet 2, the voice coil 5 and the centering disk 4, which may simplify circuit design difficulties of the speaker device, reduce production and assembly difficulties of the speaker device and thereby improving the production efficiency.

According to the speaker device of the present invention, the piezoelectric sheet is used to replace a reinforcement portion provided at the central position of the centering disk of the speaker device having a conventional structure, such that the piezoelectric sheet may play the role of the reinforcement portion to improve the acoustic performance of the speaker device; meanwhile, as an independent sound generation unit, the piezoelectric sheet may generate medium-high frequency audio signals, which may supplement the audio signal generated by the voice coil-diaphragm sound generation structure of the present invention.
