Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of audio technologies, and in particular, to a speaker module and an electronic device.


BACKGROUND

A speaker module is a commonly used audio assembly in a current electronic device. With a development trend of a light and thin electronic device, a mounting space left for the speaker module is getting increasingly smaller, and therefore, the speaker module also develops toward lighting and thinning. However, a volume of a rear sound cavity of the light and thin speaker module is small, which reduces sound quality of the speaker module. As a result, a sound quality experience of the electronic device is poor.


SUMMARY

This application provides a speaker module and an electronic device, to improve sound quality of the speaker module, and improve a sound quality experience of the electronic device.


According to a first aspect, this application provides a speaker module, including a first housing, a second housing, an electroacoustic transducer, sound-absorbing particles, and an isolation assembly. The second housing is mounted in the first housing, and is enclosed with the first housing to form a sound cavity. An avoidance hole is provided on the second housing, and the avoidance hole is in communication with the sound cavity and an outer side of the second housing. The electroacoustic transducer is mounted in the sound cavity. The electroacoustic transducer includes a lower pole piece and a sound membrane. The lower pole piece runs through the avoidance hole, and is spaced apart from a hole wall of the avoidance hole. The sound membrane is spaced apart from the lower pole piece, and divides the sound cavity into a front sound cavity and a rear sound cavity. The sound-absorbing particles are filled in the rear sound cavity. The isolation assembly includes a fixing ring and a breathable isolating member. The fixing ring is mounted between the second housing and the lower pole piece, and is arranged surrounding an edge of the lower pole piece. The breathable isolating member is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the fixing ring, and is located between the hole wall of the avoidance hole and the lower pole piece. The breathable isolating member is arranged surrounding the electroacoustic transducer, and is configured to isolate the sound-absorbing particles and the electroacoustic transducer.


In the speaker module shown in this application, the sound-absorbing particles are filled in the rear sound cavity, implementing acoustic expansion of the rear sound cavity, which is equivalent to expanding a volume of the rear sound cavity. This helps implement better low-frequency speaker performance of the speaker module, and improves a sound effect experience of the speaker module. The breathable isolating member may isolate the sound-absorbing particles and the electroacoustic transducer, which may prevent the sound-absorbing particles from entering the electroacoustic transducer and affecting a sound quality effect of the electroacoustic transducer.


In addition, the breathable isolating member and the fixing ring are predetermined to be fixed, and the breathable isolating member is not directly assembled to the electroacoustic transducer, which not only does not affect a size of the electroacoustic transducer, but also helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module. This may further avoid an impact of the breathable isolating member on a size of a magnetic circuit and performance of a magnetic circuit, and helps improve a sound quality experience of the speaker module.


In an implementation, a sound outlet hole is provided on the first housing, and the sound outlet hole is in communication with the front sound cavity and an outer side of the first housing. Sounds that are emitted when the speaker module operates are transmitted from the sound outlet hole to the outside of the speaker module, to implement sound emission of the speaker module.


In an implementation, the sound outlet hole has a first opening and a second opening that are provided opposite to each other. The first opening is located on an inner surface of the first housing, and the second opening is located on an outer surface of the second housing. A pore size of the sound outlet hole gradually increases in a direction from the first opening to the second opening, which helps improve loudness of sound emission of the speaker module.


In an implementation, a first mounting groove is provided on the second housing, an opening of the first mounting groove is located on a lower surface of the second housing, and the first mounting groove is provided surrounding the avoidance hole, and runs through the hole wall of the avoidance hole. A second mounting groove is provided on the lower pole piece, an opening of the second mounting groove is located on a lower surface of the lower pole piece, and the second mounting groove is provided surrounding the edge of the lower pole piece, and runs through a peripheral side surface of the lower pole piece.


The fixing ring is mounted between the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove. At least a part of the fixing ring may also reuse a space of the second housing and the lower pole piece in a thickness direction of the speaker module, to reduce a space occupied by the fixing ring in the thickness direction of the speaker module. This helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module.


In an implementation, a lower surface of the fixing ring is flush with the lower surface of the second housing, or a lower surface of the fixing ring is located on an upper side of the lower surface of the second housing. The fixing ring may reuse a space of the second housing in a thickness direction of the speaker module, to reduce a space occupied by the fixing ring in the thickness direction of the speaker module. This helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module.


In an implementation, the lower surface of the fixing ring is flush with the lower surface of the lower pole piece, or the lower surface of the fixing ring is located on an upper side of the lower surface of the lower pole piece. The fixing ring may completely reuse a space of the lower pole piece in a thickness direction of the speaker module, to reduce a space occupied by the fixing ring in the thickness direction of the speaker module. This helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module.


In an implementation, both a groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove and a groove bottom wall surface of the second mounting groove are flat surfaces, the speaker module further includes an adhesive layer, a part of the adhesive layer is adhesively connected between the upper surface of the fixing ring and the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove, and a part of the adhesive layer is adhesively connected between the upper surface of the fixing ring and the groove bottom wall surface of the second mounting groove.


Because both the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove and the groove bottom wall surface of the second mounting groove are flat surfaces, when the fixing ring is mounted by using the adhesive layer, glue is easy to apply and flatten. In this way, high-quality adhesive connection between the fixing ring and the second housing and the lower pole piece may be implemented, and a problem of glue overflow in an adhesive connection process may be further avoided. This is beneficial to implementing an ultra-thin design of the speaker module.


In an implementation, the second housing includes a housing body and a reinforcing member, a mounting through hole is provided on the housing body, the mounting through hole runs through the housing body in a thickness direction of the housing body, the reinforcing member is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the housing body, and is arranged surrounding the mounting through hole, and a part of the reinforcing member protrudes relative to a hole wall of the mounting through hole, and is enclosed with the hole wall of the mounting through hole to form the first mounting groove.


The avoidance hole is formed in a middle portion of the mounting through hole, the first mounting groove is formed at an edge of the mounting through hole, and the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove is formed on a lower surface of the reinforcing member.


In an implementation, the housing body is made of plastic, the reinforcing member is made of metal, and the housing body and the reinforcing member are integrally formed. Because the reinforcing member is a steel sheet made of steel, and the lower surface of the reinforcing member forms the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove, structural stability of the first mounting groove may be ensured, and an overall strength of the second housing may be enhanced.


In an implementation, the fixing ring and the second housing are integrally formed, to simplify a manufacturing process of the speaker module, and reduce a production cost of the speaker module.


In an implementation, the electroacoustic transducer further includes a basin frame, the basin frame includes a basket, the basket is located between the lower pole piece and the sound membrane, and the breathable isolating member is located on a lower side of the basket, and is spaced apart from the basket. A size of a gap between the breathable isolating member and the basket is less than a particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles. This may prevent the sound-absorbing particles from entering the inside of the electroacoustic transducer from the gap between the breathable isolating member and the basket, and ensure sound quality of the speaker module.


In an implementation, a plurality of first positioning posts are arranged on the second housing, the plurality of first positioning posts are arranged on an upper surface of the second housing, and are spaced apart surrounding the avoidance hole, and the plurality of first positioning posts are located on an outer side of the breathable isolating member, and are spaced apart from the breathable isolating member, to prevent the breathable isolating member from being deformed in a direction facing away from the electroacoustic transducer, and ensure use reliability of the breathable isolating member.


In an implementation, a plurality of second positioning posts are arranged on the electroacoustic transducer, and the plurality of second positioning posts are located at an edge of the electroacoustic transducer, and are spaced apart from each other. The plurality of second positioning posts are located on an inner side of the breathable isolating member, and are spaced apart from the breathable isolating member, to prevent the breathable isolating member from being deformed toward a direction of the electroacoustic transducer. This may not only ensure use reliability of the breathable isolating member, but also prevent a deformed breathable isolating member from entering the inside of the electroacoustic transducer, causing noise or abnormal vibration.


In addition, positioning of the breathable isolating member is implemented through the first positioning posts and the second positioning posts that are located on two sides. An end of the breathable isolating member away from the fixing ring does not need to be fixed with glue. This avoids a problem of blocking the breathable holes by the glue and affecting vent efficiency, and improves breathability of the breathable isolating member.


In an implementation, a size of a gap between each of the second positioning posts and each of the first positioning posts is less than the particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles, to ensure that after the breathable isolating member is deformed, the sound-absorbing particles cannot enter the electroacoustic transducer through the gap between each of the second positioning posts and each of the first positioning posts. This ensures a sound quality experience of the speaker module.


In an implementation, the basin frame includes a plurality of second positioning posts. The plurality of second positioning posts are fixedly connected to a lower surface of the basket, and are spaced apart from legs.


In an implementation, a plurality of engagement notches are provided on the lower pole piece, the plurality of engagement notches run through the lower pole piece in a thickness direction of the lower pole piece, and run through the peripheral side surface of the lower pole piece, and the plurality of engagement notches are spaced apart from each other.


The basin frame further includes a plurality of legs, the plurality of legs are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the basket, and are spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of legs are engaged with the plurality of engagement notches one by one, to implement assembly between the basin frame and the lower pole piece.


The fixing ring is further mounted on the plurality of legs.


In an implementation, a mounting notch is further provided on each of the legs, and an opening of the mounting notch is located on a lower surface of each of the legs. The mounting notch further runs through an outer surface, a left side surface, and a right side surface of each of the legs, and is in communication with the second mounting groove. The fixing ring is further mounted on the mounting notch.


In an implementation, a groove bottom wall surface of the mounting notch is a flat surface. A part of the adhesive layer is adhesively connected between the upper surface of the fixing ring and the groove bottom wall surface of the mounting notch.


In an implementation, the electroacoustic transducer further includes two first side magnets, and both the two first side magnets are mounted on an upper surface of the lower pole piece, are spaced apart, and are arranged opposite to each other.


Two avoidance notches are provided on the breathable isolating member, both the two avoidance notches run through the breathable isolating member in a thickness direction of the breathable isolating member, and run through an upper surface of the breathable isolating member, and the two avoidance notches are spaced apart and are provided opposite to each other, and are separately configured to avoid the two first side magnets. The two avoidance notches may further avoid the legs of the basin frame, to reduce a space occupied by the breathable isolating member in the electroacoustic transducer. This helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module.


In an implementation, the fixing ring is made of metal. For example, the fixing ring is a steel ring made of steel. The fixing ring has a high strength and therefore can be processed very thin, and a height of the breathable isolating member can be increased, thereby increasing a vent volume of the breathable isolating member.


In an implementation, a plurality of breathable holes are provided on the breathable isolating member, and each of the breathable holes runs through the breathable isolating member in the thickness direction of the breathable isolating member. A pore size of each of the breathable holes is less than the particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles, to prevent the sound-absorbing particles from passing through the breathable isolating member through the breathable holes and entering the electroacoustic transducer, and affecting sound quality of the electroacoustic transducer.


In an implementation, the breathable isolating member is a metal mesh, and the breathable holes are mesh holes of the breathable isolating member. Alternatively, the breathable isolating member is made of metal. For example, the breathable isolating member is a steel plate, and the breathable holes are formed by drilling holes.


According to a second aspect, this application provides an electronic device, including a housing and any of the foregoing speaker module, where the speaker module is mounted on an inner side of the housing.


In the speaker module of the electronic device shown in this application, the sound-absorbing particles are filled in the rear sound cavity, implementing acoustic expansion of the rear sound cavity, which is equivalent to expanding a volume of the rear sound cavity. This helps implement better low-frequency speaker performance of the speaker module, and improves a sound effect experience of the speaker module. The breathable isolating member may isolate the sound-absorbing particles and the electroacoustic transducer, which may prevent the sound-absorbing particles from entering the electroacoustic transducer and affecting a sound quality effect of the electroacoustic transducer.


In addition, the breathable isolating member and the fixing ring are predetermined to be fixed, and the breathable isolating member is not directly assembled to the electroacoustic transducer, which not only does not affect a size of the electroacoustic transducer, but also helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module. This may further avoid an impact of the breathable isolating member on a size of a magnetic circuit and performance of a magnetic circuit, and helps improve a sound quality experience of the speaker module.

The reinforcing member 522 protrudes relative to a hole wall of the mounting through hole 5211, and is enclosed with the hole wall of the mounting through hole 5211 to form the first mounting groove 5202. The avoidance hole 5201 is formed in a middle portion of the mounting through hole 5211, the first mounting groove 5202 is formed at an edge of the mounting through hole 5211, and the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove 5202 is formed on a lower surface of the reinforcing member 522.


In addition, a mounting protruding strip 523 and first positioning posts 524 are further arranged on the housing body 521. The mounting protruding strip 523 and the first positioning posts 524 are all arranged on the upper surface (namely, the upper surface of the second housing 520) of the housing body 521, and all protrude in a direction (a positive direction of a Z axis in the figure) from the upper surface of the housing body 521 to a direction facing away from the lower surface of the housing body 521. Specifically, the mounting protruding strip 523 is arranged at an edge of the upper surface of the second housing 520, and is arranged surrounding the second housing 520. The first positioning posts 524 are connected between the mounting protruding strip 523 and the reinforcing member 522. Surfaces of the first positioning posts 524 that face the avoidance hole 5201 may be flush with a hole wall surface of the avoidance hole 5201.


For example, there are eight first positioning posts 524, and the eight first positioning posts 524 are arranged surrounding the avoidance hole 5201, and are spaced apart from each other. The four first positioning posts 524 are located on a left side of the avoidance hole 5201, and the four first positioning posts 524 are located on a right side of the avoidance hole 5201. In some other embodiments, a quantity of first positioning posts 524 may also be less than eight or greater than eight. A quantity of first positioning posts 524 is not specifically limited in this application.


In this embodiment, the housing body 521 is a plastic member made of a plastic material, and the reinforcing member 522 is a steel sheet made of steel. The housing body 521 and the reinforcing member 522 may be integrally formed. In other words, the second housing 520 is an integrally formed structural member. For example, the second housing 520 may be a structural member formed by in-mold injection molding.


It may be understood that, because the reinforcing member 522 is a steel sheet made of steel, and the lower surface of the reinforcing member 522 forms the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove 5202, structural stability of the first mounting groove 5202 may be ensured, and an overall strength of the second housing 520 may be enhanced.


In some other embodiments, the housing body 521 may also be made of a metal material or another material, and/or the reinforcing member 522 may also be made of another metal material or non-metal material other than steel.



FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the speaker module 500 shown in FIG. 2B cut along I-I. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the speaker module 500 shown in FIG. 2B cut along II-II. Cutting along I-I means cutting along a flat surface on which I-I is located, and cutting along II-II means cutting along a flat surface on which II-II is located. Similar descriptions below may be understood in the same way.


The second housing 520 is mounted in a mounting groove 5102 of the first housing 510. Specifically, the mounting protruding strip 523 of the second housing 520 is mounted in the mounting groove 5102, so that the second housing 520 and the first housing 510 are relatively fixed, and are enclosed to form a sound cavity 5001. Both the avoidance hole 5201 (as shown in FIG. 5A) and the injection hole 5203 are in communication with the sound cavity 5001. For example, the mounting protruding strip 523 may be mounted on the mounting groove 5102 by ultrasonic welding. In some other embodiments, the mounting protruding strip 523 may also be mounted on the mounting groove 5102 by adhesive connection.


The lower surface of the second housing 520 is flush with the lower surface of the first housing 510. The second housing 520 completely reuses a space of the first housing 510 in a Z-axis direction, to save a size of the speaker module 500 in the Z-axis direction. This helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module 500. In some other embodiments, the lower surface of the second housing 520 may also be recessed relative to the lower surface of the first housing 510, or the lower surface of the second housing 520 may also protrude relative to the lower surface of the first housing 510.



FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a structure of an electroacoustic transducer 530 in the speaker module 500 shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of the electroacoustic transducer 530 shown in FIG. 8.


In this embodiment, the electroacoustic transducer 530 is a moving-coil speaker core. The electroacoustic transducer 530 includes a basin frame 10, a magnetic circuit assembly 20, and a vibration assembly 30. The magnetic circuit assembly 20 and the vibration assembly 30 are separately mounted on two opposite sides of the basin frame 10. The basin frame 10 may support the magnetic circuit assembly 20 and the vibration assembly 30. The magnetic circuit assembly 20 may provide a driving magnetic field. The vibration assembly 30 may vibrate relative to the basin frame 10 under an action of the driving magnetic field.


The basin frame 10 includes a basket 11, legs 12, and second positioning posts 13. The legs 12 and the second positioning posts 13 are all fixedly connected to the basket 11. The basket 11, the legs 12, and the second positioning posts 13 may be integrally formed. In other words, the basin frame 10 is an integrally formed structure. In some other embodiments, the basket 11, the legs 12, and the second positioning posts 13 may also form an integrated structure in a manner of being assembled.


The basket 11 is generally in a shape of a square. The basket 11 includes two first baskets 14 and two second baskets 15. Both the two first baskets 14 extend in an X-axis direction, are parallel to each other in a Y-axis direction, and are spaced apart from each other. Both the two second baskets 15 extend in a Y-axis direction, and are parallel to each other in an X-axis direction and are spaced apart from each other. Both the two second baskets 15 are fixedly connected between the two first baskets 14.


The legs 12 and the second positioning posts 13 are all fixedly connected to a lower surface of the basket 11, and all protrude in a direction (a negative direction of a Z axis in the figure) from the lower surface of the basket 11 to a direction facing away from the upper surface of the basket 11. A mounting notch 121 is provided on each of the legs 12, and an opening of the mounting notch 121 is located on a lower surface of each of the legs 12. The mounting notch 121 is recessed in a direction (a positive direction of a Z axis in the figure) from the lower surface of each of the legs 12 to the basket 11, and runs through an outer surface, a left side surface, and a right side surface of each of the legs 12. A groove bottom wall surface of the mounting notch 121 is a flat surface. For example, there are four legs 12, and each two legs 12 are fixedly connected to one first basket 14, and are spaced apart in an X-axis direction.


In some other embodiments, a quantity of legs 12 may be less than four or greater than four, and/or at least a part of legs 12 may also be arranged on the second baskets 15. A quantity and a position of the legs 12 are not specifically limited in this application.


The second positioning posts 13 are spaced apart from the legs 12. An inner surface of each of the second positioning posts 13 is flush with an inner surface of the basket 11. For example, there are six second positioning posts 13. Each three second positioning posts 13 are fixedly connected to one second basket 15, and are spaced apart in a Y-axis direction.


In some other embodiments, a quantity of second positioning posts 13 may also be less than six or greater than six, and/or at least a part of second positioning posts 13 may also be fixedly connected to the first baskets 14. A quantity and a position of the second positioning posts 13 are not specifically limited in this application.



FIG. 10A is a schematic diagram of a structure of a magnetic circuit assembly 20 in the electroacoustic transducer 530 shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 10B is a schematic diagram of a structure of the magnetic circuit assembly 20 shown in FIG. 10A from another perspective. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of the magnetic circuit assembly 20 shown in FIG. 10B.


The magnetic circuit assembly 20 includes a lower pole piece 21, a center magnet 22, two first side magnets 23, two second side magnets 24, a center pole piece 25, and an annular pole piece 26. The center magnet 22, the two first side magnets 23, and the two second side magnets 24 are all mounted on the lower pole piece 21. The center pole piece 25 is mounted on the center magnet 22. The annular pole piece 26 is mounted on the two first side magnets 23 and the two second side magnets 24.


A second mounting groove 211 and clamping notches 212 are provided on the lower pole piece 21. An opening of the second mounting groove 211 is located on a lower surface of the lower pole piece 21. The second mounting groove 211 is recessed in a direction (a positive direction of a Z axis in the figure) from the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21 to the upper surface of the lower pole piece 21, and runs through a peripheral side surface of the lower pole piece 21. The second mounting groove 211 is an annular groove, and is provided surrounding an edge of the lower pole piece 21. A groove bottom wall surface of the second mounting groove 211 is a flat surface.


The clamping notches 212 are in communication with the second mounting groove 211. Openings of the clamping notches 212 are located on the upper surface of the lower pole piece 21. The clamping notches 212 are recessed in a direction from the upper surface of the lower pole piece 21 to the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21, and run through the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21. In other words, the clamping notches 212 run through the lower pole piece 21 in a thickness direction of the lower pole piece 21. In addition, the clamping notches 212 further run through the peripheral side surface of the lower pole piece 21 and a groove wall surface of the second mounting groove 211.


For example, there are four clamping notches 212. Two clamping notches 212 are located on a front side of the lower pole piece 21, and are spaced apart in an X-axis direction. The other two clamping notches 212 are located on a rear side of the lower pole piece 21, and are spaced apart in the X-axis direction. In some other embodiments, the clamping notches 212 may also be located at other positions of the lower pole piece 21, and/or a quantity of clamping notches 212 may also be less than four or greater than four. A position and a quantity of the clamping notches 212 are not specifically limited in embodiments of this application.


The center magnet 22, the two first side magnets 23, and the two second side magnets 24 are all mounted on the upper surface of the lower pole piece 21. Specifically, the center magnet 22 is mounted in a central area of the upper surface of the lower pole piece 21, and the two first side magnets 23 and the two second side magnets 24 are all mounted in an edge area of the upper surface of the lower pole piece 21. In the X-axis direction, the two first side magnets 23 are separately located on two opposite sides of the center magnet 22, and are spaced apart from the center magnet 22. In a Y-axis direction, the two second side magnets 24 are separately located on two opposite sides of the center magnet 22, and are spaced apart from the center magnet 22. Each second side magnet 24 is located between the two clamping notches 212. A first gap (not labeled in the figure) is formed between each first side magnet 23 and the center magnet 22, and a second gap (not labeled in the figure) is formed between each second side magnet 24 and the center magnet 22. For example, the center magnet 22, the two first side magnets 23, and the two second side magnets 24 may all be mounted on the lower pole piece 21 by adhesive connection.


The center pole piece 25 is mounted on an upper surface of the center magnet 22. The annular pole piece 26 is mounted on upper surfaces of the two first side magnets 23 and the two second side magnets 24, is arranged surrounding the center pole piece 25, and is spaced apart from the center pole piece 25. For example, the center pole piece 25 may be mounted on the center magnet 22 by adhesive connection, and the annular pole piece 26 may be mounted on the two first side magnets 23 and the two second side magnets 24 by adhesive connection.


In this embodiment, the annular pole piece 26 includes a connecting frame part 261, two first pole piece parts 262, and two second pole piece parts 263. The two first pole piece parts 262 and the two second pole piece parts 263 are all fixedly connected to an inner surface of the connecting frame part 261. In the X-axis direction, the two first pole piece parts 262 are spaced apart and are arranged opposite to each other. In the Y-axis direction, the two second pole piece parts 263 are spaced apart and are arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, each first pole piece part 262 is mounted on an upper surface of one first side magnet 23, and is spaced apart from the center pole piece 25. Each second pole piece part 263 is mounted on an upper surface of one second side magnet 24, and is spaced apart from the center pole piece 25. A third gap (not labeled in the figure) is formed between each first pole piece part 262 and the center pole piece 25, and the third gap is in communication with the first gap. A fourth gap (not labeled in the figure) is formed between each second pole piece part 263 and the center pole piece 25, and the fourth gap is in communication with the second gap.



FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a vibration assembly 30 in the electroacoustic transducer 530 shown in FIG. 9 from another perspective. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of the vibration assembly 30 shown in FIG. 12.


The vibration assembly 30 includes a sound membrane 31, a voice coil 32, and four flexible circuit boards 33. The voice coil 32 is fixedly connected to the sound membrane 31, and the four flexible circuit boards 33 are all fixedly connected to the voice coil 32. The sound membrane 31 includes a diaphragm 34 and a dome 35. The dome 35 is fixedly connected to the diaphragm 34. The diaphragm 34 is generally in a shape of a rectangular ring. The diaphragm 34 includes a first fixing part 341, a vibration part 342, and a second fixing part 343. Both the vibration part 342 and the second fixing part 343 are located on an outer side of the first fixing part 341. The vibration part 342 is fixedly connected between the first fixing part 341 and the second fixing part 343. A cross section of the vibration part 342 is formed in an arc shape or approximately an arc shape. For example, the vibration part 342 protrudes in a direction (a negative direction of a Z axis in the figure) facing away from upper surfaces of the first fixing part 341 and the second fixing part 343. In some other embodiments, the vibration part 342 may also protrude in a direction (a positive direction of a Z axis in the figure) facing away from lower surfaces of the first fixing part 341 and the second fixing part 343.


The dome 35 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first fixing part 341. When the vibration part 342 is deformed under an action of an external force, the vibration part 342 may drive the first fixing part 341 and the dome 35 to move relative to the second fixing part 343. For example, the dome 35 may be fixedly connected to the first fixing part 341 by adhesive connection. In some other embodiments, the dome 35 may also be fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first fixing part 341.


The voice coil 32 is fixedly connected to a lower surface of the dome 35. In this embodiment, the voice coil 32 is in a shape of a round rectangle. The voice coil 32 includes four straight edge parts 321 and four rounded corner parts 322. Each rounded corner part 322 is fixedly connected between two straight edge parts 321.


The four flexible circuit boards 33 are separately fixedly connected to the four rounded corner parts 322 of the voice coil 32. In this embodiment, the four flexible circuit boards 33 have the same structure. Each flexible circuit board 33 includes a first fixing part 331, a connecting branch 332, and a second fixing part 333. Both the connecting branch 332 and the second fixing part 333 are located on an outer side of the first fixing part 331, and the connecting branch 332 is fixedly connected between the first fixing part 331 and the second fixing part 333. The first fixing part 331 of each flexible circuit board 33 is fixedly connected to one rounded corner part 322 of the voice coil 32.



FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the electroacoustic transducer 530 shown in FIG. 8 cut along III-III. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the electroacoustic transducer 530 shown in FIG. 8 cut along IV-IV.


The magnetic circuit assembly 20 is mounted on a lower side of the basin frame 10. Specifically, the lower pole piece 21 is fixedly connected to four legs 12, and is spaced apart from the basket 11. An end of each leg 12 away from the basket 11 is clamped into one clamping notch 212 of the lower pole piece 21, and is fixedly connected to the lower pole piece 21. In addition, a mounting notch 121 of each of the legs 12 is in communication with the second mounting groove 211 of the lower pole piece 21.


The center magnet 22, the two first side magnets 23, and the two second side magnets 24 are all located on a side of the lower pole piece 21 facing the basket 11. Specifically, the two first side magnets 23 are located between the two first baskets 14, and the two second side magnets 24 are separately located on top sides of the two second baskets 15. The second positioning posts 13 are located at an edge of the electroacoustic transducer 530, and are spaced apart from the first side magnets 23.


The vibration assembly 30 is mounted on an upper side of the basin frame 10. Specifically, the sound membrane 31 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the basket 11, and is spaced apart from the lower pole piece 21. A second fixing part 343 of the diaphragm 34 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the basket 11. A vibration part 342 of the diaphragm 34 protrudes toward a direction of the basin frame 10, and is spaced apart from the annular pole piece 26. For example, the second fixing part 343 of the diaphragm 34 may be fixedly connected to the upper surface of the basket 11 by adhesive connection.


The voice coil 32 is located on an inner side of the basket 11. An end of the voice coil 32 away from the sound membrane 31 is partially located in the first gap and the third gap, and is partially located in the second gap and the fourth gap. In other words, the end of the voice coil 32 away from the sound membrane 31 is located in a magnetic field provided by the magnetic circuit assembly 20. Second fixing parts 343 (as shown in FIG. 13) of the four flexible circuit boards 33 are located at four corners of the basket 11, and are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the basket 11. The four flexible circuit boards 33 are all electrically connected to a connecting circuit board of the speaker module 500. The four flexible circuit boards 33 transmit the electrical signal transmitted by the connecting circuit board to the voice coil 32. The voice coil 32 moves up and down in a Z-axis direction to cut magnetic field lines of the magnetic field provided by the magnetic circuit assembly 20, thereby driving the sound membrane 31 and the flexible circuit boards 33 to vibrate.


Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the electroacoustic transducer 530 is mounted on the first housing 510. Specifically, the electroacoustic transducer 530 is mounted in the accommodating groove 5103 (as shown in FIG. 4). The electroacoustic transducer 530 is mounted on the mounting boss 511. The basin frame 10 is mounted in the accommodating space 5111 (as shown in FIG. 4), and the second positioning posts 13 are spaced apart from the first positioning posts 524 of the second housing 520. For example, a size of a gap between each of the second positioning posts 13 and each of the first positioning posts 524 of the second housing 520 is less than 0.3 mm.


The lower pole piece 21 runs through the avoidance hole 5201 (as shown in FIG. 5A), and is spaced apart from a hole wall of the avoidance hole 5201. The lower surface of the lower pole piece 21 is exposed relative to the lower surface of the second housing 520. For example, the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21 is flush with the lower surface of the second housing 520, so that the electroacoustic transducer 530 completely reuses a space of the first housing 510 and the second housing 520 in a Z-axis direction. This helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module 500.


In some other embodiments, the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21 may also be located on a lower side of the lower surface of the second housing 520. In other words, the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21 is recessed relative to the lower surface of the second housing 520. Alternatively, the lower pole piece 21 may also be located on an upper side of the lower surface of the second housing 520. In other words, the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21 protrudes relative to the lower surface of the second housing 520.


The sound membrane 31 is located in the accommodating space 5111. The sound membrane 31 divides the sound cavity 5001 into a front sound cavity 5002 and a rear sound cavity 5003. The front sound cavity 5002 is formed between the sound membrane 31 and the first housing 510. The front sound cavity 5002 is in communication with the sound outlet hole 5101. The rear sound cavity 5003 is formed on a side of the sound membrane 31 facing away from the front sound cavity 5002. The rear sound cavity 5003 and the avoidance hole 5201 are in communication with the injection hole 5203.


In addition, a leakage hole (not shown in the figure) is further provided on the first housing 510 or the second housing 520. The leakage hole is in communication with the rear sound cavity 5003 and the outside of the speaker module 500, so that the rear sound cavity 5003 is in communication with the outside of the speaker module 500, to ensure an air pressure balance between the rear sound cavity 5003 and the outside of the speaker module 500, and avoid deformation of the sound membrane 31 caused by problems such as an unstable air pressure from affecting sound quality of the speaker module 500. This improves a sound quality experience of the speaker module 500.


In this embodiment, the rear sound cavity 5003 is filled with sound-absorbing particles (not shown in the figure). The sound-absorbing particles may expand a volume of the rear sound cavity 5003, and improve sound quality of the speaker module 500. A particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles is greater than a size of a gap between each of the second positioning posts 13 and each of the first positioning posts 524 of the second housing 520. For example, the sound-absorbing particles may be bass powder, and the particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles is between 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm.


The sound-absorbing particles may be injected into the rear sound cavity 5003 from the injection hole 5203. In addition, the speaker module 500 further includes a sealing member 550. After the sound-absorbing particles are injected into the rear sound cavity 5003 from the injection hole 5203, the sealing member 550 seals the injection hole 5203, to prevent the sound-absorbing particles from leaking out. For example, the sealing member 550 may be made of materials such as plastic, and the like.


It may be understood that, in the speaker module 500 shown in this embodiment, both the second housing 520 and the electroacoustic transducer 530 completely reuse a space of the first housing 510 in a thickness direction (a Z-axis direction in the figure) of the speaker module 500, which is equivalent to reducing a space occupied by the second housing 520 and the electroacoustic transducer 530 in the thickness direction of the speaker module 500. This is beneficial to implementing a light and thin design of the speaker module 500.


In addition, the rear sound cavity 5003 is filled with the sound-absorbing particles, implementing acoustic expansion of the rear sound cavity 5003, which is equivalent to expanding a volume of the rear sound cavity 5003. This helps implement better low-frequency speaker performance of the speaker module 500, and improves a sound effect experience of the speaker module 500.



FIG. 16A is a schematic diagram of a structure of an isolation assembly 540 in the speaker module 500 shown in FIG. 3 in an implementation. FIG. 16B is a schematic diagram of a structure of the isolation assembly 540 shown in FIG. 16A from another perspective.


The isolation assembly 540 includes a fixing ring 40 and a breathable isolating member 50. The breathable isolating member 50 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 40. In this embodiment, the fixing ring 40 is generally in a shape of a rectangular ring. The fixing ring 40 may be a steel sheet made of steel, and a thickness of the fixing ring 40 is 0.1 mm. In some other embodiments, the fixing ring 40 may also be made of materials such as plastic, and/or a thickness of the fixing ring 40 may also be greater than 0.1 mm or less than 0.1 mm. A material and a thickness of the fixing ring 40 is not specifically limited in this application.


The breathable isolating member 50 is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the fixing ring 40. A plurality of breathable holes (not shown in the figure) are provided on the breathable isolating member 50. The plurality of breathable holes all run through the breathable isolating member 50 in a thickness direction of the breathable isolating member 50, and are spaced apart from each other. Air may circulate between an inner side and an outer side of the breathable isolating member 50 from the plurality of breathable holes. A pore size of each of the breathable holes is 0.1 mm. In some other embodiments, the pore size of each of the breathable holes may also be another value, provided that the pore size of each of the breathable holes is less than the pore size of each of the sound-absorbing particles.


In this embodiment, the breathable isolating member 50 is in a shape of a cylinder. The breathable isolating member 50 includes two first isolation parts 51 and two second isolation parts 52. Both the two first isolation parts 51 extend in an X-axis direction, are spaced apart in a Y-axis direction, and are arranged opposite to each other. Both the two second isolation parts 52 extend in the Y-axis direction, are spaced apart in the X-axis direction, and are arranged opposite to each other. Both the two second isolation parts 52 are fixedly connected between the two first isolation parts 51. One avoidance notch 501 is provided on each first isolation part 51. The avoidance notch 501 runs through the first isolation part 51 in the thickness direction of the first isolation part 51, and runs through a lower surface of the first isolation part 51.


In some other embodiments, the avoidance notch 501 may also not be provided on the first isolation part 51, and/or the avoidance notch 501 may also be provided on the second isolation part 52. In this case, the avoidance notch 501 runs through the second isolation part 52 in a thickness direction of the second isolation part 52, and runs through a lower surface of the second isolation part 52. A quantity and a position of the avoidance notch 501 is not specifically limited in embodiments of this application.


In this embodiment, the breathable isolating member 50 is a metal mesh made of a metal material. The breathable holes are mesh holes of the metal mesh. The breathable isolating member 50 is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the fixing ring 40 by welding. An angle between the breathable isolating member 50 and the fixing ring 40 is 90 degrees. In some other embodiments, the breathable isolating member 50 may also be a sheet-shaped structure made of a metal material or another material. In this case, through holes may be drilled on the breathable isolating member 50 to form breathable holes.



FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of a structure of an isolation assembly 540 in the speaker module 500 shown in FIG. 3 in another implementation. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the isolation assembly 540 shown in FIG. 17 cut along V-V.


A difference between the isolation assembly 540 shown in this implementation and the isolation assembly 540 shown in the foregoing implementation is: The breathable isolating member 50 includes a fixing part 53 and an isolation part 54. The isolation part 54 is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the fixing part 53. An angle between the isolation part 54 and the fixing part 53 is 90 degrees. For example, the breathable isolating member 50 may be formed by bending a metal mesh. Specifically, the fixing part 53 is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the fixing ring 40, and the isolation part 54 is fixedly connected to a side of the fixing part 53 away from the fixing ring 40.


It may be understood that, compared with the isolation assembly 540 shown in the foregoing implementation, in the isolation assembly 540 shown in this implementation, a contact area between the breathable isolating member 50 and the fixing ring 40 becomes larger. This is beneficial to improving assembly stability between the breathable isolating member 50 and the fixing ring 40.


Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the isolation assembly 540 is mounted on the second housing 520 and the lower pole piece 21 of the electroacoustic transducer 530, and is arranged surrounding an edge of the lower pole piece 21. Specifically, the fixing ring 40 is mounted in the first mounting groove 5202 of the second housing 520, the mounting notch 121 (as shown in FIG. 9) of each of the legs 12, and the second mounting groove 211 of the lower pole piece 21. The lower surface of the fixing ring 40 is flush with the lower surface of the second housing 520 and the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21, so that the fixing ring 40 completely reuses a thickness of the second housing 520 in the Z-axis direction, to prevent the lower surface of the fixing ring 40 from protruding relative to the lower surface of the second housing 520 and the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21. This helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module 500.


In some other embodiments, the lower surface of the fixing ring 40 may also be located on an upper side of the lower surface of the second housing 520 or an upper side of the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21, provided that the lower surface of the fixing ring 40 does not protrude relative to the lower surface of the second housing 520 and the lower surface of the lower pole piece 21.


In addition, the speaker module 500 further includes an adhesive layer (not shown in the figure). A part of the adhesive layer is adhesively connected between the upper surface of the fixing ring 40 and the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove 5202. A part of the adhesive layer is adhesively connected between the upper surface of the fixing ring 40 and the groove bottom wall surface of the second mounting groove 211. A part of the adhesive layer is adhesively connected between the upper surface of the fixing ring 40 and the groove bottom wall surface of the mounting notch 121. In other words, the fixing ring 40 is mounted on the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove 5202 and the groove bottom wall surface of the second mounting groove 211 by adhesive connection, to mount the fixing ring 40 in the first mounting groove 5202 and the second mounting groove 211.


It should be understood that, because the groove bottom wall surface of the first mounting groove 5202, the groove bottom wall surface of the second mounting groove 211, and the groove bottom wall surface of the mounting notch 121 are all flat surfaces, when the fixing ring 40 is mounted by using the adhesive layer, glue is easy to apply and flatten. In this way, high-quality adhesive connection between the fixing ring 40 and the second housing 520 and the lower pole piece 21 may be implemented, and a problem of glue overflow in an adhesive connection process may be further avoided. This is beneficial to implementing an ultra-thin design of the speaker module 500.


In some other embodiments, the fixing ring 40 may also be mounted in the first mounting groove 5202 and the second mounting groove 211 by welding, or the fixing ring 40 and the second housing 520 may also be integrally formed. In this case, the fixing ring 40 and the reinforcing member 522 (as shown in FIG. 5B) of the second housing 520 may be integrally formed. In other words, the fixing ring 40 and the reinforcing member 522 may be different parts of one component, to simplify a manufacturing process of the speaker module 500, and reduce a production cost of the speaker module.


The breathable isolating member 50 is located between a hole wall of the avoidance hole 5201 (as shown in FIG. 5A) and the lower pole piece 21. The breathable isolating member 50 surrounds the electroacoustic transducer 530, and is spaced apart from the electroacoustic transducer 530. The breathable isolating member 50 isolates the sound-absorbing particles and the electroacoustic transducer 530, which prevents the sound-absorbing particles from entering the electroacoustic transducer 530 and affecting a sound quality effect of the electroacoustic transducer 530. It may be understood that, because the pore size of each of the breathable holes is less than the particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles, the breathable isolating member 50 may prevent the sound-absorbing particles from passing through the breathable isolating member 50 and entering the inside of the electroacoustic transducer 530 while ensuring air circulation.


In this embodiment, the breathable isolating member 50 is located on a lower side of the basket 11 of the basin frame 10, and is arranged surrounding the lower pole piece 21 and the two first side magnets 23. The breathable isolating member 50 is spaced apart from the basket 11, so that a connecting circuit board extends into the electroacoustic transducer 530 through a gap between the breathable isolating member 50 and the basket 11 and is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 33. A size of a gap between the upper surface of the breathable isolating member 50 and the basket 11 is less than the particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles, for example, less than 0.1 mm. This may prevent the sound-absorbing particles from entering the inside of the electroacoustic transducer 530 from the gap between the breathable isolating member 50 and the basket 11, and ensure sound quality of the speaker module 500.


In some other embodiments, a through hole (not shown in the figure) may also be provided on the basket 11, and the flexible circuit board 33 may be electrically connected to the connecting circuit board of the speaker module 500 through the through hole of the basket 11, and/or the breathable isolating member 50 may also be located on an outer side of the basket 11 of the basin frame 10, and is spaced apart from the basket 11. A position of the breathable isolating member 50 is not specifically limited in embodiments of this application, provided that the breathable isolating member 50 may isolate the sound-absorbing particles and the electroacoustic transducer 530.


The two first isolation parts 51 (as shown in FIG. 16B) of the breathable isolating member 50 are separately located on lower sides of the two first baskets 14 (as shown in FIG. 9) of the basket 11. The two second isolation parts 52 (as shown in FIG. 16B) are separately located on lower sides of the two second baskets 15 (as shown in FIG. 9) of the basket 11. Each avoidance notch 501 may avoid two legs 12 and one second side magnet 24 that is located between the two legs 12. First positioning posts 524 of the second housing 520 are located on an outer side of the breathable isolating member 50, and are spaced apart from the breathable isolating member 50, to prevent the breathable isolating member 50 from being deformed in a direction facing away from the electroacoustic transducer 530, and ensure use reliability of the breathable isolating member 50. Second positioning posts 13 are located on an inner side of the breathable isolating member 50, and are spaced apart from the breathable isolating member 50, to prevent the breathable isolating member 50 from being deformed toward a direction of the electroacoustic transducer 530. This not only ensures use reliability of the breathable isolating member 50, but also prevents a deformed breathable isolating member 50 from entering the inside of the electroacoustic transducer 530, causing noise or abnormal vibration.


In addition, positioning of the breathable isolating member 50 is implemented through the first positioning posts 524 and the second positioning posts 13 that are located on two sides. An end of the breathable isolating member 50 away from the fixing ring 40 does not need to be fixed with glue. This avoids a problem of blocking the breathable holes by the glue and affecting vent efficiency, and improves breathability of the breathable isolating member 50. In addition, because the size of the gap between each of the first positioning posts 524 and each of the second positioning posts 13 is less than the particle size of each of the sound-absorbing particles, even if the breathable isolating member 50 is deformed in a direction facing away from the electroacoustic transducer 530 or toward a direction facing away from the electroacoustic transducer 530, the sound-absorbing particles also cannot enter the electroacoustic transducer 530 through the gap between each of the first positioning posts 524 and each of the second positioning posts 13. This ensures a sound quality experience of the speaker module 500.


It may be understood that, in some other embodiments, the second positioning posts 13 may also be arranged on other components of the electroacoustic transducer 530 such as the lower pole piece 21, the first side magnet 23, or the second side magnet 24, provided that the second positioning posts 13 are located on an inner side of the breathable isolating member 50, and can prevent the breathable isolating member 50 from being deformed toward a direction of the electroacoustic transducer 530.


When the speaker module 500 shown in embodiments of this application is assembled, the electroacoustic transducer 530 is first mounted in the accommodating groove 5103 of the first housing 510, then the second housing 520 is mounted in the mounting groove 5102 of the first housing 510, then the isolation assembly 540 is mounted on the second housing 520 and the electroacoustic transducer 530, and then the sound-absorbing particles are filled into the rear sound cavity 5003 through the injection hole 5203 of the second housing 520. After filling of the sound-absorbing particles is completed, the injection hole 5203 is sealed with the sealing member 550. In this way, the assembly of the speaker module 500 is completed.



FIG. 19A is a schematic diagram of a structure of an isolation assembly 540 of a speaker module in a second electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. FIG. 19B is a schematic diagram of a structure of the isolation assembly 540 shown in FIG. 19A from another perspective. FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a speaker module 500 cut along I-I in a second electronic device according to an embodiment of this application.


A difference between the isolation assembly 540 shown in this embodiment and the isolation assembly 540 shown in the foregoing embodiment is: An avoidance notch is not provided on the breathable isolating member 50. The breathable isolating member 50 is arranged surrounding the electroacoustic transducer 530. Specifically, the breathable isolating member 50 is arranged surrounding the lower pole piece 21, the two first side magnets 23 (as shown in FIG. 7), and the two second side magnets 24. Each first isolation part 51 is located on the two legs 12 and an outer side of one second side magnet 24 located between the two legs 12. Each second isolation part 52 is located on an outer side of one first side magnet 23.


It should be understood that, in the existing speaker module, the breathable isolating member is often adhesively connected to a bottom surface of the electroacoustic transducer, occupying a height of the electroacoustic transducer, which not only causes a thickness of the electroacoustic transducer and a thickness of speaker module to increase, but also affects a size of a magnetic circuit and performance of a magnetic circuit in the electroacoustic transducer, and also affects a sealing size between the electroacoustic transducer and the second housing.


In the speaker module 500 shown in this application, the breathable isolating member 50 and the fixing ring 40 are predetermined to be fixed, and the breathable isolating member 50 is not directly assembled to the electroacoustic transducer 530, which not only does not affect a size of the electroacoustic transducer 530, but also helps implement a light and thin design of the speaker module 500. This may further avoid an impact of the breathable isolating member 50 on a size of a magnetic circuit and performance of a magnetic circuit, and helps improve a sound quality experience of the speaker module 500. In addition, because the fixing ring 40 is a steel ring made of steel, the fixing ring 40 has a high strength and therefore can be processed very thin, and a height of the breathable isolating member 50 can be increased, thereby increasing a vent volume of the breathable isolating member 50.

Any variation or replacement readily figured out by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application shall fall within the protection scope of this application. Embodiments of this application and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other in the case of no conflict.
