[0002] As an important electroacoustic device, speakers are widely used in electronic devices. Speakers can be divided into dynamic speakers, moving iron speakers and piezoelectric speakers according to their technical types. Compared with dynamic speakers, piezoelectric speakers have the advantages of being small, thin, light and free of magnetic field interference.

[0003] In the prior art, a piezoelectric speaker includes a piezoelectric sheet and a diaphragm stacked with the piezoelectric sheet.

A support block is usually arranged between the piezoelectric sheet and the diaphragm. The piezoelectric sheet is a cantilever beam structure, and the support block is directly arranged at the free end of the piezoelectric sheet. Since the piezoelectric sheet usually includes a substrate and a piezoelectric driver arranged on the substrate, the stiffness of the piezoelectric sheet is relatively large. The piezoelectric sheet directly drives the diaphragm to vibrate through the support block, which is more likely to cause damage to the diaphragm, has low reliability, and has a short service life of the piezoelectric speaker.

[0045] This embodiment provides a loudspeaker that can reduce the probability of damage to the diaphragm assembly and has high reliability and long service life.

[0046] The speaker in this embodiment may be a MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) speaker. MEMS speakers can be widely used in current mobile electronic devices, such as mobile phones, smart wearable devices, etc., due to their advantages such as low power consumption and light weight.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the speaker includes a supporting frame 100 , a first piezoelectric cantilever 200 , a connecting member 300 and a supporting member 400 .

[0048] Exemplarily, the support frame 100 is made of hard material, such as metal, plastic, etc.

[0049] Exemplarily, the support frame 100 is a frame structure, and the support frame 100 has a cavity (not shown in the figure) that runs through two surfaces in the thickness direction thereof. The support frame 100 can be an independent part, or the support frame 100 can also be a combined part. For example, Figure 2As shown, the support frame 100 includes a frame 110 and a circuit board 120 disposed on the frame 110. The cavity is disposed through the frame 110 and the circuit board 120. The circuit board 120 is used to be electrically connected to the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 to provide the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 with an acoustic and electrical signal.

[0050] Exemplarily, a welding pad may be provided on the circuit board 120 , and the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is welded on the welding pad to achieve electrical connection between the two.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, one end of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is clamped between the circuit board 120 and the frame 110 to improve the fixing effect of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 on the support frame 100 .

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 includes a first fixed end 210 and a first free end 220. The first fixed end 210 is connected to the support frame 100, for example, the first fixed end 210 is sandwiched between the circuit board 120 and the frame 110. The first free end 220 is suspended on the inner side of the support frame 100, for example, the first free end 220 is suspended on one side of the cavity of the support frame 100, so that the first free end 220 can vibrate in the cavity. Exemplarily, the first fixed end 210 and the first free end 220 are two opposite ends of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200.

[0053] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the first end (not shown) of the connecting member 300 is connected to the first free end 220 of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200, and the connection method between the connecting member 300 and the first free end 220 includes but is not limited to bonding, welding, etc. In addition, the stiffness of the connecting member 300 is less than the stiffness of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200.

[0054] It should be noted that stiffness refers to the ability of a material or structure to resist elastic deformation when subjected to force. The greater the stiffness of a structure, the higher the ability of the structure to resist elastic deformation when subjected to force, and the smaller the elasticity of the structure itself. In this embodiment, the stiffness of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is greater than the stiffness of the connecting member 300, that is, the stiffness of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is greater than the stiffness of the connecting member 300, so that the elasticity of the connecting member 300 is greater than the elasticity of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200.

[0055] It should also be noted that the stiffness of the connecting member 300 in the vibration direction of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is smaller than the stiffness of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 in its own vibration direction. For example, the vibration direction of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 may be the thickness direction of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 .

[0056] Exemplarily, the material of the connector 300 includes, but is not limited to, metal materials, polymer materials, etc., as long as the best performance can be achieved. For example, the material of the connector 300 is polyimide (PI).

[0057] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the support member 400 is connected to the connecting member 300, that is, the support member 400 is not directly connected to the first piezoelectric cantilever 200, but is connected to the connecting member 300. The support member 400 is used to connect to the diaphragm assembly 600 of the speaker to transmit vibration to the diaphragm assembly 600, and can also support the connecting member 300, thereby supporting the first piezoelectric cantilever 200.

[0058] For example, the support member 400 is made of hard materials, such as metal, plastic, etc., so that the transmission of power and motion is efficient and accurate. The support member 400 can be made of light materials, such as light metal, etc., to reduce transmission resistance and improve the sensitivity of power and motion transmission.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connection position between the support member 400 and the connecting member 300 is spaced from the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the first free end 220, that is, the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is different from the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the support member 400. The connection position between the support member 400 and the connecting member 300 is named as the first connection position, and the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the first free end 220 is named as the second connection position. There is a certain distance between the first connection position and the second connection position, for example, there is a section of the connecting member 300 between the first connection position and the second connection position.

[0060] In the speaker provided in the present embodiment, the first free end 220 of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is connected to a connecting member 300, the stiffness of the connecting member 300 is smaller than the stiffness of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200, the supporting member 400 is connected to the connecting member 300, the supporting member 400 is used to connect the connecting member 300 and the diaphragm assembly 600 of the speaker to transmit power, and the connecting position of the supporting member 400 and the connecting member 300 is spaced from the connecting position of the connecting member 300 and the first free end 220, so that the first free end 220 of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 does not directly contact the supporting member 400. The first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is not connected to the support member 400, but is connected to the support member 400 through the connecting member 300, and the stiffness of the connecting member 300 is less than the stiffness of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200, so that the connecting member 300 has a certain elasticity compared with the first piezoelectric cantilever 200. The existence of the connecting member 300 prevents the amplitude of the diaphragm assembly 600 from changing drastically in a short time, and further makes it difficult for the diaphragm assembly 600 to be damaged when the connecting member 300 drives the diaphragm assembly 600 to vibrate through the support member 400, thereby improving the reliability of the speaker and extending the service life of the speaker.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, the other end of the connecting member 300 extends in a direction away from the first free end 220, that is, the connecting member 300 has a portion located outside the first piezoelectric cantilever 200. The supporting member 400 can be connected to the portion of the connecting member 300 located outside the first piezoelectric cantilever 200, so that the distance between the supporting member 400 and the first free end 220 can be large, thereby making full use of the elasticity of the connecting member 300.

[0062] In other optional embodiments, the connecting member 300 includes a portion located above or below the first free end 220 and arranged opposite to the first free end 220. For example, the connecting member 300 is L-shaped, and the supporting member 400 can be connected to the portion of the connecting member 300 arranged opposite to the first free end 220. When the first free end 220 vibrates, the driving force can be transmitted to the connecting member 300 and the supporting member 400 in sequence.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the speaker further includes a second piezoelectric cantilever 500. The second piezoelectric cantilever 500 is arranged in the same layer as the first piezoelectric cantilever 200. For example, the minimum distance between the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 and the diaphragm assembly 600 is equal to the minimum distance between the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the diaphragm assembly 600. By providing the second piezoelectric cantilever 500, the driving area of ​​the diaphragm assembly 600 is increased, thereby improving the sensitivity of the speaker and enhancing the acoustic performance of the speaker.

[0064] For example, the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 is identical or similar to the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 so as to balance the weight of each area of ​​the speaker.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 are symmetrically arranged, thereby reducing the overall vibration amplitude of the speaker and improving the vibration stability of the speaker.

[0066] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 includes a second fixed end 510 and a second free end 520. Exemplarily, the second fixed end 510 and the second free end 520 are two opposite ends of the second piezoelectric cantilever 500. The second fixed end 510 is connected to the support frame 100, and the second free end 520 is suspended on the inner side of the support frame 100. Exemplarily, the second free end 520 is suspended on one side of the cavity of the support frame 100, so that the second free end 520 can have enough vibration space.

[0067] In this embodiment, the second free end 520 is spaced apart from the first free end 220 to prevent the first free end 220 and the second free end 520 from interfering with each other during vibration, thereby improving feasibility.

[0068] It should be noted that the vibration direction of the first free end 220 and the second free end 520 is the same, that is, the first free end 220 and the second free end 520 move synchronously and in the same direction, so that the first free end 220 and the second free end 520 can drive the connecting member 300 to move closer to or away from the diaphragm assembly 600, and then drive the diaphragm assembly 600 to move through the supporting member 400.

[0069] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the second end (not shown in the figure) of the connecting member 300, which is arranged opposite to the first end, is connected to the second free end 520. By connecting the first end and the second end of the connecting member 300 to the first free end 220 and the second free end 520 respectively, the length of the connecting member 300 can be shorter, and thus the weight of the speaker can be smaller.

[0070] Optionally, the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 is spaced apart from the connection position between the supporting member 400 and the connecting member 300, so that there is a section of connecting member 300 between the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 and the connection position between the supporting member 400 and the connecting member 300. The second piezoelectric cantilever 500 is not directly connected to the supporting member 400, but is connected to the supporting member 400 through the connecting member 300, and the force of the second free end 520 is transmitted to the diaphragm assembly 600 through the connecting member 300 and the supporting member 400.

[0071] Optionally, the stiffness of the connecting member 300 is less than the stiffness of the second piezoelectric cantilever 500. When the second free end 520 drives the connecting member 300 to vibrate, the connecting member 300 drives the diaphragm assembly 600 to vibrate through the supporting member 400, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the diaphragm assembly 600 due to drastic changes and further improving reliability.

[0072] Alternatively, if Figure 2 or Figure 8 As shown, the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 are spaced apart in the first direction X, and the support member 400 is located between the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 in the first direction X, so that the support member 400 can be far away from the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the first free end 220 and the connection position between the connecting member 300 and the second free end 520, thereby making full use of the elasticity of the connecting member 300.

[0073] Of course, it is understandable that the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 may not be arranged at intervals in the first direction X, but may have staggered portions in the second direction Y. For example, the first free end 220 and the second free end 520 are arranged at intervals in the second direction Y, so that the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 can be both longer, which can improve the low-frequency sensitivity of the speaker and further enhance the acoustic performance of the speaker.

[0074] The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. Exemplarily, the first direction X is the length direction of the speaker, and the second direction Y is the width direction of the speaker.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support member 400 is provided with one. In the first direction X, the minimum distance between the support member 400 and the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is equal to the minimum distance between the support member 400 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500, that is, the support member 400 is located between the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500, so that the driving force of the first free end 220 and the second free end 520 is transmitted to the support member 400 at the same time, thereby improving the effect of driving the diaphragm assembly 600 to vibrate.

[0076] In some other optional embodiments, a plurality of support members 400 may be provided, and the plurality of support members 400 are spaced apart in the first direction X. By providing a plurality of support members 400 , the diaphragm assembly 600 may have a plurality of driving points, further ensuring the driving effect of the diaphragm assembly 600 .

[0077] Exemplarily, in the first direction X, multiple support members 400 can be located between the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500, that is, the orthographic projection of the support member 400 on the plane where the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 are located does not overlap with the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500, so as to fully utilize the elasticity of the connecting member 300.

[0078] As another example, in the first direction X, the plurality of support members 400 may also include a support member 400 located above or below the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and / or the second piezoelectric cantilever 500, and the support member 400 is separated from the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 by the connecting member 300 so as to be able to fully utilize the elasticity of the connecting member 300.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, two support members 400 are provided, one support member 400 is arranged near the first free end 220 in the first direction X, and the other support member 400 is arranged near the second free end 520 in the first direction X. The distance between one support member 400 and the edge of the first free end 220 facing the second free end 520 is equal to the distance between the other support member 400 and the edge of the second free end 520 facing the first free end 220, so that the two support members 400 can vibrate synchronously and in the same direction, thereby ensuring the reliability of driving the diaphragm assembly 600.

[0080] For example, Figure 3As shown, the thickness direction of the connecting member 300 is the same as the thickness direction of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 . For example, the connecting member 300 and the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 are both plate-shaped, and the connecting member 300 is arranged parallel to the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 .

[0081] In this embodiment, one side of the connecting member 300 in the thickness direction is connected to the first free end 220 , so that the connecting member 300 and the first free end 220 have a larger connection area to improve the connection reliability between the two.

[0082] Furthermore, the thickness of the connecting member 300 is less than that of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200, which can improve the elasticity of the connecting member 300 on the one hand, and is conducive to the lightweight and miniaturization of the speaker on the other hand. It should be noted that the thickness of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 is equal to the thickness of the second piezoelectric cantilever 500. It should also be noted that the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 are both equal thickness structures to facilitate vibration control.

[0083] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the length of the connecting member 300 in the second direction Y (i.e., the width of the connecting member 300) is less than or equal to the length of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 in the second direction Y (i.e., the width of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200), so that the connecting member 300 does not have a portion extending out of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 in the second direction Y, thereby reducing energy loss. It should be noted that the connecting member 300 and the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 are both equal-width structures with relatively regular shapes, which facilitates vibration control.

[0084] Similarly, the length of the connecting member 300 in the second direction Y is less than or equal to the length of the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 in the second direction Y.

[0085] Exemplarily, the length of the support member 400 in the second direction Y is less than or equal to the length of the connecting member 300 in the second direction Y, which is not limited in this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the length of the support member 400 in the second direction Y is less than the length of the connecting member 300 in the second direction Y. However, the length of the support member 400 should not be too small, as this will affect the effect and accuracy of driving force transmission.

[0086] Alternatively, if Figure 2As shown, when the speaker also includes a diaphragm assembly 600, the diaphragm assembly 600 is arranged on one side of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 in the thickness direction, specifically on the side of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 facing away from the cavity, and the connecting member 300 is connected to the surface of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 facing the diaphragm assembly 600. Since the connecting member 300 has a large amplitude when moving toward the diaphragm assembly 600, the connecting member 300 is arranged to be connected to the surface of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 facing the diaphragm assembly 600. This can reduce the probability of failure of the connection between the connecting member 300 and the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and improve the connection stability.

[0087] Similarly, the connecting member 300 is connected to the surface of the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 facing the diaphragm assembly 600 to reduce the probability of failure in the connection between the connecting member 300 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 .

[0088] For example, Figure 7 As shown, a protrusion 610 is provided on the surface of the diaphragm assembly 600 facing the first piezoelectric cantilever 200, and an avoidance structure 410 matching the protrusion 610 is provided on the surface of the support member 400 facing the diaphragm assembly 600. The avoidance structure 410 is used to avoid the protrusion 610 to prevent the support member 400 from colliding with the diaphragm assembly 600 when moving, thereby further improving the reliability of the speaker.

[0089] For example, the diaphragm assembly 600 includes a diaphragm (not shown in the figure), and the protrusion 610 is an annular protruding structure on the diaphragm.

[0090] As another example, the avoidance structure 410 may be an avoidance groove, an avoidance opening, an avoidance slope, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the avoidance structure 410 in this embodiment is a avoidance slope, and the space above the avoidance slope can be used to accommodate the protrusion 610.

[0091] It should be noted that when the protrusion 610 is an annular protruding structure, two avoidance structures 410 are correspondingly provided.

[0092] Alternatively, if Figure 5As shown, the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 (or the second piezoelectric cantilever 500) may include a driver 240 and a cantilever beam 230, one end of the cantilever beam 230 is connected to the support frame 100, the other end of the cantilever beam 230 is suspended inside the support frame 100, and the other end of the cantilever beam 230 is a free end. The driver 240 is connected to the cantilever beam 230. The driver 240 may be formed above and / or below the cantilever beam 230. In addition, the area of ​​the driver 240 may be equal to the area of ​​the cantilever beam 230, or may be smaller than the area of ​​the cantilever beam 230. The driver 240 may drive the cantilever beam 230 to vibrate along the thickness direction of the first piezoelectric cantilever 200. By way of example, the driver 240 may be any one of a piezoelectric driver, an electrostatic driver, an electromagnetic driver, and a thermoelectric driver.

[0093] In some other optional embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, two diaphragm assemblies 600 are provided, that is, the speaker in this embodiment is a dual-diaphragm speaker. The two diaphragm assemblies 600 are relatively arranged on the opposite side surfaces of the support frame 100. Correspondingly, two first piezoelectric cantilevers 200, connectors 300 and supports 400 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the two diaphragm assemblies 600, that is, the two first piezoelectric cantilevers 200 are connected to the two connectors 300 in a one-to-one correspondence, the two connectors 300 are connected to the two supports 400 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two supports 400 are connected to the two diaphragm assemblies 600 in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby realizing the driving of the two diaphragm assemblies 600, and also improving the reliability of the dual-diaphragm speaker and extending the service life.

[0094] Exemplarily, the two diaphragm assemblies 600 are respectively a first diaphragm assembly 620 and a second diaphragm assembly 630. One support member 400 is connected to the first diaphragm assembly 620, and the other support member 400 is connected to the second diaphragm assembly 630.

[0095] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the dual-diaphragm loudspeaker in this embodiment is a symmetrical structure. Figure 8 As shown, the upper and lower directions are symmetrically arranged, and the vibration directions of the first diaphragm assembly 620 and the second diaphragm assembly 630 are opposite. When vibrating in opposite directions, the vibrations will cancel each other out, achieving a better shock-absorbing effect and providing a better user experience.

[0096] In this embodiment, two second piezoelectric cantilevers 500 are also provided, and the two second piezoelectric cantilevers 500 are connected to the two connecting members 300 in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to increase the driving area of ​​the two diaphragm assemblies 600, improve the sensitivity of the speaker, and enhance the acoustic performance of the speaker.

[0097] In this embodiment, two first piezoelectric cantilevers 200 are arranged in upper and lower layers, two second piezoelectric cantilevers 500 are arranged in upper and lower layers, and the first piezoelectric cantilever 200 and the second piezoelectric cantilever 500 corresponding to one diaphragm assembly 600 are arranged in the same layer.

[0098] This embodiment further provides a speaker module, comprising a housing (not shown in the figure) and the speaker as described above. The speaker module provided by this embodiment has high reliability.

[0099] The shell is provided with a sound outlet hole (not shown in the figure), the sound outlet hole connects the internal space of the shell with the external space of the shell, and the speaker is installed in the internal space of the shell.

[0100] This embodiment further provides an electronic device, comprising the above-mentioned speaker or the above-mentioned speaker module. The electronic device provided by this embodiment has high reliability.

[0101] The electronic device may include a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a camera, a personal computer, a laptop, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, augmented reality (AR) glasses, AR helmets, virtual reality (VR) glasses, VR helmets, fixed-line handsets (pickups), medical auxiliary equipment (such as hearing aids), various headphones (such as wireless headphones or wired headphones), and other devices with speakers.
