IMPLEMENTATION

The present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, it is a dome-shaped diaphragm speaker with a new structure, which comprises:

    • a magnetic circuit assembly (1), a front plate (2) mounted on one (top) side of the magnetic circuit assembly (1), a top dome-shaped diaphragm (3) protruding from the middle of the front plate (2), which is being fixed between the front plate (2) and the magnetic circuit assembly (1). A harmonic eliminator (4) used to eliminate harmful soundwaves or resonances, is being placed between the magnetic circuit assembly (1) and the top diaphragm (3). One end of the harmonic eliminator (4) is installed in the middle of the magnetic circuit assembly (1), and the other (top) end of the harmonic eliminator (4) extends to the inner side of the tog diaphragm (3). The harmonic eliminator (4) is designed with a structured concave-convex sound absorbing surface (41) for the purpose of eliminating standing waves and deviating harmful sound waves, thereby acoustic distortions.


The harmonic eliminator (4) is installed between the magnetic circuit assembly (1) and magnetic circuit assembly (1), and a structured concave-convex sound absorbing surface (41) of the harmonic eliminator (4) which is located in the inner cavity of the top diaphragm (3) is used to cancel out harmful sound waves, thereby improving speaker distortion. When harmful sound waves are generated behind the top diaphragm (3), the concave-convex muffler surface 41 on the harmonic eliminator (4) cancels out the harmful sound waves and guides them to the side or below, so that the harmful sound waves behind the top diaphragm (3) will not be reflected to the front to deteriorate the sound quality. In this embodiment, the harmful sound waves mainly refer to standing waves.


The top end of the harmonic eliminator (4) is matched in its shape with the back of the top diaphragm (3). At the top of the dome-shaped harmonic eliminator (4) is a 1st positioning tip (42) in its centre, which is used to host a sound-absorbing foam (5).


The 1st positioning tip (42) is arranged in the middle of the harmonic eliminator (4), and the sound-absorbing foam (5) is installed in the 1st positioning tip (42), so that the harmful sound waves directly below the top diaphragm (3) are directly absorbed by the sound-absorbing foam (5), therefore further improving the sound quality. The part of the harmonic eliminator (4) which extends into the inner ring of the top diaphragm (3) is designed to a spherical shape, which not only ensures that harmonic eliminator (4) is more suitable for the top diaphragm (3) but also protects the top diaphragm (3) from being deformed by depression. Improve the durability of the product, thereby increasing the service life.


The concave-convex sound-absorbing surface (41) of the harmonic eliminator (4) includes a plurality of equal parts centred around the 1st positioning tip (42) some trapezoidal ribs (411) that spread out in a wave-like shape and a plurality of inclined surfaces (412) that are centred around the 1st positioning tip (42) and are equally distributed in a fan blade shape and divide the trapezoidal ribs (411) into equal parts.


The trapezoidal ribs (411) and the inclined surfaces (412) are used to form uneven shapes similar to the karst landforms so that most of the harmful sound waves will be directly absorbed and offset the energy after entering, and a small part of the sound wave will be reflected and guided to the side or below, thereby cancelling out the harmful sound waves.


The magnetic circuit assembly (1) comprises a magnet (11) and is matched to hold the washer (12) by glue, and the lower yoke (13) of the magnet (11) by glue, the washer (12) is fixed to the front plate (2) with five screws (8). The yoke (13) is extended in its middle with a cylindrical metal part (14) in one piece the yoke (13). On top of the cylindrical part (14) which contains a through hole (141) all along, and is used on its top end to install the harmonic eliminator (4), on its bottom end with a plurality of clips (43).

    • the middle of the back chamber (6) is formed with a deflector cone (61) which extends into the through hole (141) and is used to guide the airflow to the back chamber (6) sides, which contains damping material.


The back chamber (6) is installed on the bottom side of the magnetic circuit assembly (1); a cavity (60) is formed between the back chamber (6) and the york (13); a through hole (141) connecting the cavity (60) and the lumen formed by the top diaphragm (3) and the cylindrical part (14). On top of the through hole (141), the harmonic eliminator (4) is elastically clamped and fixed into the inner wall of the through hole (141) with the fixing clips (43), and space for airflow to pass through is formed between the harmonic eliminator (4) and the through hole (141) for enough clearance and improve the airflow. Furthermore, installing a harmonic eliminator (4) on top of the through hole (141) will prevent the high-frequency sound waves enter the cavity (60), and cause absorption of the high-frequency sound waves, which impacts the sound quality.


The washer (12) contains the 2nd positioning tip (121) for the cylindrical part (14) to be installed through. An installation gap (15) is formed between the cylindrical part (14) and the washer (12) for the purpose of installing the voice coil (9). The magnet (11) is in a ring shape and sits on the cylindrical part (14).


The washer (12) and the front plate (2) are connected together and fixed by a plurality of screws (8), and positioned with a 1st alignment tips (72) formed within the plastic dome mounting plate (7).


The dome mounting plate (7) is installed between the washer (12) and the front plate (2). The edge of the top dome-shaped diaphragm (3) is installed between the dome mounting plate (7) and the front plate (2); a 3rd positioning tip (21) for the top dome-shaped diaphragm (3) to go through the front plate (2). A 4th positioning tip (71) on the dome mounting plate (7) matches the 2nd positioning tip (121)


The washer (12) and the front plate (2) are fixed by several screws (8). At least 2 of 1st alignment tips (72) on the dome mounting plate (7) are used to align with the 2nd alignment tips (122) on the washer (12).


By inserting two or more 2nd positioning tips (121) into the 1st alignment tips (72), the position limit of dome mounting plate (7) relative to the washer (12) is realized, and the relative movement of the dome mounting plate (7) is limited, and the screws (8) also penetrate the dome mounting plate (7) to further fix the positioning of the dome mounting plate (7).


The harmonic eliminator (4) is made of plastic material. Since the harmonic eliminator (4) is a plastic part, it has no direct absorption effect on the sound, so it will not absorb the energy of the high-frequency part and the sound of the high-frequency part will not be greatly attenuated. The sound-absorbing foam (5) which is installed in the middle of the harmonic eliminator (4), compared with the traditional sound-absorbing foam, is much smaller and is located in the inner cavity of the harmonic eliminator (4). Therefore, it will not have a great impact on the energy of high-frequency sound, so it can absorb harmful sound waves while absorbing harmful sound waves. It can reduce the impact on the high-frequency sound, achieve the effect of reducing distortion and improve sound quality.


To sum up, in the present invention, the harmonic eliminator (4) which is added to the inner cavity of the top dome-shaped diaphragm (3) utilizes its structured concave-convex sound absorbing surface (41) at the top of the harmonic eliminator (4) to approach the top dome-shaped diaphragm (3). So that the sound waves generated by the top dome-shaped diaphragm (3), are spread around by the concave-convex shape on the surface of the harmonic eliminator (4) and are guided to the side or to the below, and the below part is absorbed by the sound-absorbing foam (5) in the middle of the harmonic eliminator (4); Since the harmonic eliminator (4) itself is made of plastic material, it causes no impact on sound absorption, it will not absorb the energy of the high-pitched sound, and will not have a great attenuation on the high-frequency part.


Of course, the above descriptions are only specific examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structures, features and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be included in the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
