[0004] Currently, electric speakers are all in the traditional dynamic, capacitive or piezoelectric types, using a 555 timer or IC to generate a frequency signal, driving the MOS tube to generate an induced electromotive force to make the speaker sound. Its structure is relatively complex, large in size, poor in stability, low in reliability, and high in manufacturing cost. Summary of the invention:

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric speaker using a mems mic as a driving circuit and a sound control method thereof, which has good stability, simple structure and small size.

[0007] The above purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] An electric horn using a mems mic as a driving circuit comprises: a diaphragm, the diaphragm is fixed by a gland and an outer stopper of a housing seat, a coil frame is provided between the diaphragm and the housing seat, the coil frame is fixed to the inner bottom of the housing seat, a controller and a terminal are respectively installed on the side surface of the coil frame, the terminal is connected to a wiring harness on a vehicle, a connecting stud is fixed to the lower center of the housing seat, the external thread of the connecting stud passes through the housing seat and is fixed to the vehicle body steel frame, and a horn shell is fixed to the upper part of the housing seat.

[0010] The electric speaker and sound control method using mems mic as a driving circuit are described. The mems mic is a micro-electromechanical microphone, and its pressure-sensitive membrane is directly etched on a silicon chip using micro-electromechanical technology. On this basis, an amplifier and a signal feedback processing circuit are integrated. When the switch button is closed during operation, the mems mic generates a pulse signal to drive the circuit. The driving circuit generates an induced electromotive force to excite the diaphragm to vibrate and make a sound. Then, the mems mic pressure-sensitive membrane receives the sound signal fed back from the diaphragm after the sound is made and converts it into a voltage signal. After signal processing, the circuit is driven again, and the speaker coil is driven to continue to excite the diaphragm to vibrate and make a sound. In this way, a closed-loop circuit is formed, which continuously makes the diaphragm vibrate and make a sound, and the operation stops when the switch is opened.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0012] 1. When the present invention is working, the mems mic generates a pulse signal to drive the circuit, and generates an induced electromotive force to make the diaphragm vibrate and make sound. Then, after the sound signal is fed back and processed, the circuit is driven to oscillate the diaphragm again to make sound, and the cycle is repeated. After the mems mic is packaged, the electric speaker has good high-temperature stability and reflux stability, reduces power consumption, and improves sensitivity and adaptability.

[0013] The present invention completely changes the original production process by applying MEMS MIC micro-electromechanical technology. Its processing technology is non-mechanical. It adopts integrated circuit batch processing micro-manufacturing technology, has a simple structure, a small size, is easy to install, is compatible with digitalization, has strong anti-interference ability, good stability, a high degree of automation, is suitable for large-scale production, reduces costs, and is very convenient to use and replace, thereby improving work efficiency and expanding the market's new product updates and usage rates.
