Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of acoustic design technology, and in particular, to a speaker.


BACKGROUND

In the related art, a speaker includes a housing and a vibration unit and a magnetic circuit unit that are received in the housing. The magnetic circuit unit includes a magnetic frame, and a main magnet and a pole plate that are sequentially arranged in the magnetic frame. The magnetic frame includes a bottom wall and sidewalls extending from the bottom wall while being bent towards the housing. Moreover, in order to achieve that the magnetic frame has a Z-direction positioning, rounded corners are provided between two adjacent ones of the sidewalls.


However, as for the speaker in the above structure, the flanging feature of the magnetic frame and the Z-direction positioning feature (i.e., a rounded corner) do not overlap each other, such that a flanging length of the magnetic frame cannot be maximized, resulting in the poor speaker performance.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The present disclosure will be further illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings and the present embodiments.


As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the present disclosure relates to a speaker 100, and the speaker 100 includes a housing 110 and a vibration unit 120 and a magnetic circuit unit 130 that are received in the housing 110. The magnetic circuit unit 130 includes a magnetic frame 131. The magnetic frame 131 includes a bottom wall 131a and a sidewall 131b extending from the bottom wall 131a while being bent towards the housing 110. Further, a positioning portion 131b1 that protrudes outwardly is provided on the sidewall 131b of the magnetic frame 131, and the positioning portion 131b1 abuts against the housing 110.


Specifically, when the speaker 100 of the above structure is being assembled, the magnetic frame 131 is placed on the housing 110, and the Z-direction positioning of the magnetic frame 131 can be achieved by using the positioning portion 131b1 provided on the sidewall 131b of the magnetic frame 131, i.e., when the positioning portion 131b1 abuts against the housing 110, positioning of the magnetic frame 131 in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction can be achieved. In this way, when achieving the positioning of the magnetic frame 131, it is unnecessary to sacrifice the flanging length of the magnetic frame 131, so that the flanging of the magnetic frame 131 can be maximized, thereby improving the performance of the speaker 100.


It should be noted that the specific structure and the specific number of the positioning portions 131b1 provided on the sidewall 131b of the magnetic frame 131 are not limited. In practical applications, a person skilled in the art can determine the specific number and specific shape of the required positioning portions 131b1 according to actual needs.


As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the housing 110 includes a holder 111 and a bracket 112 connected to the holder 111. The bracket 112 is sandwiched between the sidewall 131b of the magnetic frame 131 and the holder 111, and the bracket 112 comprises an upper surface 1121 away from the vibration unit 120, a lower surface 1122 close to the vibration unit 120, and a side surface 1123 connecting the upper surface 1121 and the lower surface 1122; and the positioning portion 131b1 abuts against the upper surface 1121 of the bracket 112. The sidewall 131b has an orthographic projection on the bottom wall 131a along a vibration direction X of the vibration unit 120 not overlapping an orthographic projection of the bracket 112 on the bottom wall 131a along the vibration direction X of the vibration unit 120. The sidewall 131b comprises a top surface 1311 close to the vibration unit 120, a distance h1 from the top surface 1311 to the bottom wall 131a along the vibration direction X of the vibration unit 120 is greater than a distance h2 from the lower surface 1122 of the bracket 112 to the bottom wall 131a. In this way, the magnetic frame 131 abuts against the bracket 112 only through the positioning portion 131b1, when achieving the positioning of the magnetic frame 131, it is unnecessary to sacrifice the flanging length of the magnetic frame 131, so that the flanging of the magnetic frame 131 can be maximized, thereby improving the performance of the speaker 100.


Specifically, when the speaker 100 of such structure is being assembled, the bracket 112 and the holder 111 can be first assembled to form the structure of the housing 110. Thereafter, the magnetic frame 131 is assembled in the housing 110. During the assembly process, when the positioning portion 131b1 on the sidewall 131b of the magnetic frame 131 abuts against the upper surface of the bracket 112, it shows that the magnetic frame 131 has its horizontal or vertical position determined or has found its position in the horizontal or vertical direction. In this way, when achieving the positioning of the magnetic frame 131, it is unnecessary to sacrifice the flanging length of the magnetic frame 131, so that the flanging of the magnetic frame 131 can be maximized, thereby improving the performance of the speaker 100.


Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bracket 112 includes a first connecting portion 112a and a second connecting portion 112b recessed from the first connecting portion 112a in a direction facing away from the magnetic frame 131. The first connecting portion 112a is connected to the holder 111, and an upper surface of the second connecting portion 112b abuts against the positioning portion 131b1.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the magnetic frame 131 has a long axis direction and a short axis direction. The sidewall 131b includes two first sidewalls 131b2 that are arranged opposite to and spaced apart from each other along the long axis direction, and two second sidewalls 131b3 that are arranged opposite to and spaced apart from each other along the short axis direction and connecting the two first sidewalls 131b2. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the two second sidewalls 131b3 are respectively provided with a positioning portion 131b1. Further, the positioning portion 131b1 may be provided on the two first sidewalls 131b2. Of course, it is also possible to provide the positioning portion 131b1 on both the first sidewalls 131b2 and the second sidewalls 131b3, and the like.


By providing the positioning portion 131b1 on the two first sidewalls 131b2 and/or the two second sidewalls 131b3, the speaker 100 of the structure of the present embodiment can effectively achieve the positioning of the magnetic frame 131 in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction, and it is further unnecessary to sacrifice the flanging length of the magnetic frame 131, so that the flanging of the magnetic frame 131 can be maximized, thereby improving the performance of the speaker 100.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, each of the second sidewalls 131b3 is provided with two positioning portions 131b1 symmetrically arranged. Of course, it is possible that each of the first sidewalls 131b2 is provided with two positioning portions 131b1 symmetrically arranged. In addition, it is also possible that each of the first sidewall 131b2 and each of the second sidewalls 131b3 are respectively provided with two positioning portions 131b1 symmetrically arranged.


By providing two positioning portions 131b1, which are symmetrically arranged, on the two first sidewalls 131b2 and/or the two second sidewalls 131b3, the speaker 100 of the structure of the present embodiment can effectively achieve the positioning of the magnetic frame 131, and it may be further unnecessary to sacrifice the flanging length of the magnetic frame 131, so that the flanging of the magnetic frame 131 can be maximized, thereby improving the performance of the speaker 100.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the magnetic circuit unit 130 further includes a main magnet 132 and a pole plate 133 that are sequentially provided in the magnetic frame 131. There is a magnetic gap 134 provided between the magnetic frame 131 and each of the main magnet 132 and the pole plate 133.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the vibration unit 120 includes a voice coil 121 and a voice diaphragm 122. The voice coil 121 is inserted in the magnetic gap 134, and the voice diaphragm 122 is connected to an end of the voice coil 121 facing away from the pole plate 133.


What has been described above is only an embodiment of the present disclosure, and it should be noted herein that one ordinary person skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present disclosure, but these are all within the scope of the present disclosure.
