Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] The popularity of wearable electronic products has greatly improved human work efficiency and entertainment. Smart glasses are the representative of these products. Producing high-quality sound in a small space is a huge challenge. Conventional smart glasses use a micro-speaker cavity design, which has high sound efficiency but insufficient bandwidth. In addition, the closed cavity design will cause a large amount of sound leakage, which cannot protect personal privacy and greatly interferes with the surrounding environment. To solve the above problems, bone conduction solutions using bone vibrator modules for sound playback have appeared on the market. The essence of bone conduction sound playback is that part of the bone vibrator module is closely attached to the facial skin to transmit the sound to the facial bones, and then from the facial bones to the inner ear cochlea, so that the human ear perceives the sound. The other part of the bone vibrator module diaphragm vibrates to produce sound in the air, which is transmitted from the air to the cochlea to be perceived by people. However, there will still be some sound leakage, which is not conducive to protecting privacy. In order to further eliminate sound leakage, smart glasses using two bone vibrators with opposite acoustic phases have emerged. For example, as shown in the patent document with publication number CN115734132A, the acoustic phase of a positive bone vibrator is canceled out by an anti-phase bone vibrator. Two bone vibrators are needed on one side and four bone vibrators are needed on both sides, which greatly increases the production cost. Summary of the invention

By opening an air vent 4 on the side of the vibrator cavity 21 facing the head, the air vent 4 maintains the balance of air pressure inside and outside the vibrator cavity 21, and is also conducive to the transmission of internal sound to the outside. The air vent 4 is connected to the back of the bone vibrator module 3, so that the acoustic phase of the bone vibrator module 3 that is in contact with the front of the face is 0 degrees, and the acoustic phase of the back vibration is 180 degrees. Since the sound waves generated by the bone vibrator module 3 are diffracted from the air vent 4 connected to it to the front, the two sound phases are completely opposite, and the sound amplitude cancellation is close to 0, that is, no sound is generated. This effect is used to greatly reduce sound leakage, protect personal privacy, and reduce external interference. The frequency of bone conduction vibration is low, the bandwidth is wide, and the sound quality restoration is better, which further improves the sound quality. In this case, the reverse phase sound wave on the back of a single bone vibrator module 3 is transmitted through the air to the positive phase sound wave on the front of the bone vibrator module 3 for sound cancellation. The structure is simple. Compared with the positive phase bone vibrator and the reverse phase bone vibrator for sound phase cancellation, a single vibrator can cancel out sound leakage, which greatly reduces the production cost.
[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4 Preferably, the bone vibrator module 3 includes a vibrator unit 31 and a vibrator shell 32.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 Preferably, the air leakage holes 4 are provided in plurality, and the air leakage holes 4 are connected with the gap between the vibrator housing 32 and the vibrator cavity 21 along the front or rear side of the axial direction of the temple 2. The sound emitted by the plurality of air leakage holes 4 together has a better effect of offsetting sound leakage, and preferably, air leakage holes 4 can be provided on the front and rear sides of the temple 2 in the axial direction. Through the bone conduction design, the external leakage sound is reduced; further, holes are punched around the bone vibrator diaphragm (flexible material 5), and the leakage sound is greatly reduced through the phase cancellation principle.
[0024] See also Figures 1 to 4 Preferably, the sound outlet holes 33 are provided on one side of the vibrator housing 32 facing the other temple 2 and the other side away from the other temple 2. It is convenient for the vibrator monomer 31 to emit sound through the front sound outlet hole 33 and the back sound outlet hole 33 respectively, forming a 0° sound phase and a 180° sound phase.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 Preferably, the air leakage hole 4 is provided on the flexible material 5. It is convenient to process the air leakage hole 4 first and then assemble, which reduces the processing difficulty. Of course, the air leakage hole 4 can also be provided on the side wall of the vibrator cavity 21 in the temple 2 facing the face of the person, and is not located on the flexible material 5.
[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4 Preferably, the vibrator cavity 21 is excavated from one side of the temple 2 toward the other temple 2 to the side away from it, and the flexible material 5 covers the side of the vibrator cavity 21 toward the other temple 2. It is convenient to load the bone vibrator module 3 into the vibrator cavity 21. The flexible material 5 can be connected to the temple 2 by ultrasonic welding or the like, and the vibrator housing 32 can be fixed on the flexible material 5, and then the side of the flexible material 5 equipped with the vibrator module is placed toward the vibrator cavity 21 to complete the packaging. Of course, the entire bone vibrator module 3 and the flexible material 5 can also be installed in a shell, and then the shell as a whole can be installed in the vibrator cavity 21, and it is only necessary to leave a channel for the sound phase propagation on the back of the bone vibrator module 3 in the shell.
[0030] The present invention has the following working principle: The bone conduction scheme is adopted to use the bone vibrator module 3 for sound reproduction. The essence of bone conduction sound reproduction is that part of the bone vibrator module 3 is closely attached to the facial skin to transmit the sound to the facial bones, and then the facial bones are transmitted to the inner ear cochlea, so that the human ear perceives the sound. The other part of the bone vibrator module 3 diaphragm vibrates to generate sound in the air, which is transmitted from the air to the cochlea and perceived by the human body. In order to reduce the sound conducted by air, the flexible material 5 on the vibrating bonding surface of the bone vibrator monomer 31 is further used to design the venting hole 4, so that the sound phase on the back of the diaphragm of the bone vibrator monomer 31 is diffracted to the front sound phase through the gap of the vibrator cavity 21 and the venting hole 4 to offset the sound phase, thereby greatly reducing sound leakage, protecting personal privacy, and reducing interference with the external environment. Since the resonant frequency of the bone vibrator module 3 is lower than that of a conventional micro speaker, the bone vibrator module 3 is better than a conventional micro speaker in the effective bandwidth of reproduction, and the sound quality is also greatly improved. The product starts to work normally after the power button is pressed. The MCU module will transmit the sound information to the optical lens through the optical engine, and the background music will amplify the signal through the power amplifier and transmit it to the bone vibrator module 3. The bone vibrator unit 31 will vibrate, and the sound phase of the vibration in contact with the front of the face is 0 degrees, while the sound phase of the vibration on the back is 180 degrees. Since there are openings on the surface of the soft material that seals the bone vibrator and the cavity, the sound waves generated inside will diffract to the front. The two sound phases are completely opposite, and the sound amplitude cancellation is close to 0, that is, there is no sound leakage.
