As shown in
The speaker in the embodiment of the present application has a diaphragm of metal diaphragm 21, since the rigidity of the metal diaphragm 21 is much greater than the strength of other materials such as a paper diaphragm, thereby the overall rigidity of the vibration system 20 of the speaker can be improved via adopting the metal diaphragm 21, and the split vibration of the speaker during high-frequency vibration can be reduced to make the high-frequency curve of the speaker smoother. In addition, the flexible connector 23 of the speaker support 30 is designed to connect with the metal diaphragm 21 to make the metal diaphragm 21 more easy to vibrate and for easier sound production, and the damping characteristics of the vibration system 20 can also be effectively increased to further reduce the split distortion of the speaker at high-frequency, the bandwidth of the speaker is extended, and the overall performance of the speaker is improved.
Specifically, the flexible connector 23 is preferably made of a non-metallic material.
More specifically, the flexible connector 23 is preferably made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of, a PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), a PEN (Polyethylene naphthalate two formic acid glycol ester), a PEEK (polyetheretherketone), a PU (polyurethane), a PAR (Polyarylate), a PEI (Polyetherimide), a silica gel, a silk, and a cloth. That is, the flexible connector 23 is preferably made of a monomer such as PU, PEEK, PET, PEN, PAR, PEI, silica gel, silk, cloth or the like, or a composite material thereof. The above materials have characteristics that the physical property is good, the flexibility is good, and the resistance for bending is good, the strength of extension is high, and the texture is light, which is used to manufacture the flexible connector. Not only is the metal diaphragm 21 fixedly connected to the speaker support 30, but also the rigidity and damping characteristic of the vibration system 20 can be better ensured due to the excellent physical property therewith, and the performance of the speaker in the embodiment can be further steadied.
In the embodiment, as shown in
In the embodiment, as shown in
Specifically, since the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211 of the metal diaphragm 21 is a hemispherical structure that is provided with a convex outward at the central portion thereof, when the metal diaphragm 21 is vibrated, the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211 may be vibrated to generate a first force configured to act on the angular flat diaphragm portion away from the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211. Simultaneously, since the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 is convexly disposed toward the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211, when the metal diaphragm 21 is vibrated, the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 may generate a second force configured to act on the angular flat diaphragm portion away from the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211; the first force and the second force are simultaneously configured to be applied to the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, or the first force is transmitted to the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 through the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, and the second force is transmitted to the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211 through the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, and the first force and the second force are in opposite directions. When the first force and the second force are configured to act on the straightness of structural annular flat diaphragm portion 212, the first force and the second force can be partially or completely counteracted, thereby the force which is configured to cause the metal diaphragm 21 to be deformed when the metal diaphragm 21 is vibrated can be partially or completely counteracted. Thereby, the rigidity of the metal diaphragm 21 can be improved, the thickness of the metal diaphragm can be reduced, and the damping characteristics of the metal diaphragm 21 can be increased when the rigidity is constant. Thus, the split distortion of the speaker at high-frequency is reduced to ensure that the metal diaphragm 21 can be normally vibrated to produce sound.
Specifically, as shown in
In the present embodiment, as shown in

In this embodiment, as shown in
In this embodiment, the metal diaphragm 21 is preferably made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of the following materials: magnesium, aluminum, beryllium, and titanium, that is, the metal diaphragm 21 is preferably made of magnesium, magnesium alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, beryllium, beryllium alloy, titanium, or titanium alloy material. More specifically, the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211, the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, and the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 are preferably made of pure magnesium metal material. Since the density of the magnesium metal is smaller (the density of the magnesium metal is only 1.74 kilogram (kg)/cubic meter (m3)), a higher sensitivity of the speaker can be ensured by adopting the magnesium metal to manufacture the metal diaphragm 21, and since the magnesium metal can be configured to absorb external vibration, a better damping characteristic of the metal diaphragm 21 can be provided due that the metal diaphragm 21 is made of magnesium metal. In addition, the magnesium metal also has good ductility, and the thickness of the diaphragm can be reduced in the case of a certain rigidity, so that the damping characteristic of the metal diaphragm 21 can be further increased. Therefore, the metal diaphragm 21 of the present embodiment is made of a magnesium metal material, so that the manufactured diaphragm can not only retain the rigidity of the metal, but also has good damping characteristic, the split distortion of the speaker can be weakened, and a better sensitivity of speaker can also be ensured. Alternatively, the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211, the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, and the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 may all be made of a magnesium alloy material, and the magnesium alloy herein refers to a magnesium alloy material containing more than 96% of a magnesium component, such as AZ13B magnesium alloy, etc. This kind of magnesium alloy has higher strength, better plasticity, and is easy to be made into a thin plate structure, and the requirements for the diaphragm thickness of metal diaphragm 21 can be satisfied greatly, therefore, the rigidity of the diaphragm is increased, the damping characteristic is improved, and the speaker distortion is reduced.
In the present embodiment, a thickness of the metal diaphragm 21 preferably ranges from 6 μm to 50 μm, or from 60 μm to 300 μm, different thicknesses of the metal diaphragms 21 corresponding to different rigidity strengths, and the rigidity thereof is increased synchronously with the increasing of the thickness of the metal diaphragm 21, so when the speaker is designed, the thickness of the metal diaphragm 21 can be selected according to the rigidity required by the speaker, and the thickness herein is not particularly limited. Specifically, it may be 6 μm, 30 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 90 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 210 μm, 240 μm, 270 μm or 300 μm.
In the present embodiment, the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211, the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, and the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 are integrally formed. Since the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211, the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, and the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 are integrally formed, the manufactured metal diaphragm 21 is configured to have good continuity, the vibration process of the metal diaphragm 21 is more stable, and the normal vibration of the metal diaphragm 21 cannot be affected due to the gap between the three thereof. Moreover, since the density of the magnesium metal and the magnesium alloy metal material is small, the texture is brittle, and they are easily broken by a force when being bent, and the above-mentioned annular flat diaphragm portion 212 is configured to play a function of connection and transition between the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211 and the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213. The problem that the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211 being directly folded to form a trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 is solved, and the transition between the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211 and the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 is more stable and reliable.
In the present embodiment, the hemispherical diaphragm portion 211, the annular flat diaphragm portion 212, and the trumpet-shaped diaphragm portion 213 are preferably integrally formed by stamping. The metal diaphragm 21 of the present embodiment is preferably made of integral and flaky pure magnesium metal material or magnesium metal alloy material that is formed by a stamping machine at one stamping, thus, the metal diaphragm 21 can be made thin enough, the unnecessary deformation of the metal diaphragm 21 cannot be caused due to the stamping process, and the superior performance of the pure magnesium metal and magnesium metal alloy of the metal diaphragm 21 can be ensured.

Specifically, the number of above-described peripheral magnet units 1221 is provided with N, the number of central magnet units 1211 is provided with M, and N is preferably configured to equal to M, and the N respective peripheral magnet units 1221 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the M respective central magnet units 1211. In this way, an end surface of the first internal magnetic end of the peripheral magnet unit 1221 can be opposite to an end surface of the second external magnetic end of the center magnet unit 1211 and parallel to each other, so that the uniformity of the magnetic induction line in the second magnetic gap 123 is not affected due to the existence of a connection gap, so that the distribution of the magnetic induction lines in the second magnetic gap 123 is more uniform.
