The present disclosure relates to the field of acoustic-electrical conversion, and in particular, to a speaker for a portable electronic product.
With the rapid development of technologies, audio devices become more and more popular, and among numerous recreation modes, high-quality music enjoyment is gradually popularized. Thus, speakers for playing audio have been widely applied to existing smart mobile devices.
The speaker in the related art includes a holder and a vibration unit and a magnetic circuit unit that are fixedly held at the holder. The vibration unit includes a first diaphragm, a voice coil located below the first diaphragm and configured to drive the first diaphragm to vibrate and emit sound, and a flexible circuit board located below the voice coil and configured to support the voice coil. The flexible circuit board is arranged at the lower end of the voice coil, connected to the voice coil with its inner edge, and fixedly connected to a short edge side wall of the holder with its outer edge. When such design is adopted, in order to avoid contact a connection arm of the flexible circuit board, a size of a main magnet needs to be reduced, which seriously limits the size of the main magnet and influence a sensitivity of a magnetic circuit unit of the speaker.
Therefore, it is urgent to provide a novel speaker so as to overcome the above defects.
Many aspects of the exemplary embodiment can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The present disclosure will be further illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings and the embodiments.
With reference to
The vibration unit 1 includes a first diaphragm 11, a voice coil 13 located on a side of the first diaphragm 11 and configured to drive the first diaphragm 11 to vibrate and emit sound, flexible circuit boards 15 located at an end of the voice coil 13 facing away from the first diaphragm 11, and second diaphragms 17 arranged correspondingly to the flexible circuit boards 15. The second diaphragm 17 is fixedly arranged on a side of the flexible circuit board 15 facing away from the first diaphragm 11, and the second diaphragms 17 and the flexible circuit boards 15 are assembled to elastically support the voice coil 13. In this embodiment, two circuit boards 15 are provided, and correspondingly, there are also two second diaphragms 17.
The first diaphragm 11 vibrates and emit sound under the drive of the voice coil 13 and converts an electric signal into an acoustical signal.
With reference to
The second diaphragm 17 and the flexible circuit board 15 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the two second diaphragms 17 are arranged on sides of the two flexible circuit boards 15 facing away from the first diaphragm 11, respectively. The second diaphragm 17 is fixedly connected to the flexible circuit board 15 though an adhesive. The second diaphragm 17 and the flexible circuit board 15 match mutually, which, on the one hand, intensifies a vibration effect of the first diaphragm 11, and on the other hand, prevent a polarization of the voice coil 13.
The magnetic circuit unit 3 includes a yoke 31 fixed to the bottom surface of the holder 5, a main magnet 33 directly facing the first diaphragm 11 and fixed to the yoke 31, auxiliary magnets 35 spaced apart from the main magnet 33 and fixed to the yoke 31, and a main pole plate 37 attached to the main magnet 33.
A magnetic gap is formed between the main magnet 33 and the auxiliary magnet 35, the voice coil 13 extends into the magnetic gap. Two auxiliary magnets 35 are provided, and the two auxiliary magnets 35 are symmetrically arranged at two sides of the main magnet 33 along a length direction of the holder 5.
The holder 5 is of a rectangular frame-shaped structure. The holder 5 includes a bottom surface 51 facing away from the first diaphragm 11 and a groove 53 formed by recessing from the bottom surface 51 towards the first diaphragm 11, and the holder 5 is fixed to the flexible circuit board 15 with the bottom surface 51.
For example, the holder pad 7 is fixed on the bottom surface 51 and arranged correspondingly to the flexible circuit board 15, and the holder pad 7 is sandwiched between the bottom surface 51 and the flexible circuit board 15.
Further for example, the holder pad 7 is received and fixed in the groove 53, and a thickness of the holder pad 7 is not smaller than a recessed depth of the groove.
The holder pad 7 includes a first pad 71 electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 15, a second pad 73 exposed out of the holder 5, and a connection portion 75 connecting the first pad 71 with the second pad 73. The first pad 71 is electrically conducted with the second pad 73, and the second pad 73 is connected to an external circuit.
For example, the first pad 71 and the flexible circuit board 15 can be fixed by a Hot-Bar process.
The first pad 71 and the connection portion 75 are sandwiched between the second fixed portion 153 and the bottom surface 51. In other words, the second fixed portion 153 is arranged to cover a side of the first pad and a side of the connection portion 75, which face away from the groove 53, and to avoid the second pad 73.
The second fixed portion 153 is electrically connected to the first pad 71 by welding at a position corresponding to the first pad 71.
A conductive path electrically conducting the first pad 71 with the second pad 73 is provided in the connection portion 75 and is insulated from the second fixed portion 153.
For example, two holder pads 7 are provided, and the two holder pads 7 are arranged at four corners of the holder 5 along a width direction of the holder 5. The first pad 71 and the second pad 73 disposed on one side of the holder 5 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the width direction of the holder 5.
Compared to the related art, in the speaker 100 provided by the present disclosure, the connection between the flexible circuit board 15 and the holder 5 is a novel connection mode. For example, the holder pad 7 is arranged at the bottom end of the holder 5, the holder pad 7 includes the first pad 71 electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 15, the second pad 73 exposed out of the holder 5 and the connection portion 75 connecting the first pad 71 with the second pad 73, the first pad 71 is connected to the second pad 73, and the second pad 73 is connected to the external circuit. By adopting such design, the occupied space of the holder 5 is reduced so that performance of the speaker 100 can be enhanced by lengthening the magnet.
The above are merely embodiments of the present disclosure, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present disclosure, however, these improvements shall belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
