AI Technical Summary
In the existing speaker testing methods, the free field test has high accuracy but high cost, while the pressure field test has low cost but cannot accurately read the speaker performance. Especially at frequencies below 1kHz, the frequency response curve is a straight line, and it is impossible to accurately correct it.
A micro horn test fixture with equivalent free field test is designed. Through the pressure relief through the coupling cavity that communicates with the outside air, the propagation of sound waves is close to the propagation in the atmosphere, thereby simulating the free field test environment and approaching the actual use environment of the horn.
The test environment of this test fixture is equivalent to the free field. The resulting horn frequency response curve is basically the same as the curve trend measured by the free field. It can be used as an effective basis for R&D personnel to judge the performance of the horn. It has a simple structure and a lower cost than the free field test, which is conducive to promotion and use in small enterprises.

Free field testing has high accuracy, and R&D personnel can read the various performance characteristics of the speaker from the speaker frequency response curve, but its cost is high. Pressure field testing has low cost, but the speaker frequency response curve obtained by pressure field is a flat line before 1kHz, and R&D personnel cannot read the speaker performance from it, resulting in the inability to make accurate corrections to new products. [Summary of the invention]
[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a micro-speaker test fixture for equivalent free-field testing, which makes the propagation of sound waves close to its propagation in the atmosphere through a pressure relief hole that connects the coupling cavity with the outside air. That is, the test environment of the test fixture is equivalent to the free-field test environment, which is close to the actual use environment of the speaker.

[0030] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0031] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that in the free field test, the speaker is fixed on a standard baffle in the anechoic chamber for testing. The sound waves emitted by the speaker propagate in the atmosphere, which is consistent with the actual use environment of the speaker. At the same time, the anechoic chamber is used to isolate external noise and improve the accuracy of sound reception. Therefore, the test effect is accurate and can accurately measure the various performances of the speaker. However, the construction cost of the anechoic chamber is high and small enterprises cannot afford it.
[0032] The present invention provides a micro speaker test fixture body for equivalent free field test. The embodiment 1 of the micro speaker test fixture body for equivalent free field test is shown in 1-5, including a fixture body 1, a coupling cavity 2 and a pressure relief through hole 3 that connects the coupling cavity 2 with the outside air are formed on the fixture body 1, and a sound-emitting element 4 and a sound-receiving element 5 are arranged in the coupling cavity 2. Specifically, the sound-emitting element 4 is a speaker, and the sound-receiving element 5 is a microphone. Among them, due to its small volume, the coupling cavity 2, during the test, the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting element 4 are concentrated in the coupling cavity 2 and collected by the sound-receiving element 5 located in the coupling cavity 2, and the sound insulation effect is good, which is equivalent to an anechoic chamber in a free field. At the same time, the pressure relief through hole 3 connects the coupling cavity 2 with the atmosphere, so that the propagation of the sound wave is close to its propagation in the atmosphere, that is, the test environment of the test fixture is equivalent to the test environment of the free field, which is close to the actual use environment of the speaker. The frequency response curve of the speaker obtained by the test fixture is shown as curve 100 in FIG. 12 , where Fig.12 In the figure, curve 300 is the frequency response curve of the speaker measured by pressure field, and curve 200 is the frequency response curve of the speaker measured by free field. By comparison, curve 300 is a flat straight line before 1000HZ, which is obviously inconsistent with the trend of curve 200, while the trend of curve 100 is basically the same as that of curve 200. That is, the results measured by the micro speaker test fixture are close to the results measured by the free field, which can be used as an effective basis for R&D personnel to judge the performance of the speaker. In addition, the micro speaker test fixture has a simple structure and the cost is much lower than the free field, which is conducive to its promotion and use in small enterprises.
[0033] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the sound-emitting element 4 and the sound-receiving element 5 are arranged opposite to each other on both axial sides of the coupling cavity 2, and the pressure relief through hole 3 is located between the sound-emitting element 4 and the sound-receiving element 5 and extends along the radial direction of the coupling cavity 2. This arrangement facilitates the propagation and collection of sound.
[0034] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the fixture body 1 includes a sounding component bracket 6 for fixing the sounding element 4 and a sound receiving component bracket 7 for fixing the sound receiving component 5, the sound receiving component bracket 7 is formed with the coupling cavity 2 and a second assembly through hole (not shown in the figure) connected with the coupling cavity 2 for inserting the sound receiving component 5, the sounding component bracket 6 is formed with an assembly through hole 65 for inserting the coupling cavity 2 and the pressure relief through hole 3 connected with the coupling cavity 2, and the side of the assembly through hole 65 away from the sound receiving component bracket 7 is connected with the sounding element 4. This structural layout is reasonable and the sound measurement effect is good.
[0035] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the sounding member bracket 6 includes two support plates 61 arranged at intervals to form the pressure relief through hole 3. Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the pressure relief through hole 3 is flat and long. This setting realizes the connection between the coupling cavity 2 and the outside air, so that the sound wave propagates similarly in the atmosphere, realizing the simulation of the free field test environment.
[0036] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, a connecting strip 62 is provided between the two support plates 61, the connecting strip 62 extends along the radial direction of the coupling cavity 2, and the number of the connecting strips 62 is multiple, and the multiple connecting strips 62 are spaced around the circumference of the support plate 61 to form multiple pressure relief holes 3. This arrangement can improve the stability of the connection between the two support plates 61.
[0037] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, the coupling cavity 2 is bowl-shaped.
[0038] Figure 6-10 This is a second embodiment of a micro speaker test fixture for an equivalent free field test, which differs from the first embodiment in that the two support plates 61 are connected to form a connecting portion 63 adjacent to one side of the coupling cavity 2, and a connecting hole 64 connecting the pressure relief through hole 3 and the coupling cavity 2 is formed on the connecting portion 63. This arrangement not only satisfies the connection between the coupling cavity 2 and the outside air, but also improves the sound insulation effect of the coupling cavity 2, avoids external noise from affecting the test effect, and further simulates the free field test environment.
[0039] Furthermore, the difference between the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 1 is that the coupling cavity 2 is formed on the sound receiving element 5. This arrangement is conducive to improving the sealing performance of the coupling cavity 2 and improving the accuracy of sound reception.
[0040] Furthermore, the difference from Example 1 is that the coupling cavity is in a straight cylindrical shape.
