[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the conductive member 3 is a flat flexible circuit board, comprising a connecting portion 31 for connecting to the voice coil 12, a peripheral portion 33 located outside the connecting portion 31, and an arm portion 32 connecting the connecting portion 31 and the peripheral portion 33. The arm portion 32 is deformable. The peripheral portion 33, the arm portion 32, and the connecting portion 31 each comprise four separate parts. The connecting portion 31 includes two sub-connecting portions 31a that are directly connected to the end portion 12a of the voice coil wire, and two sub-connecting portions 31b that are not directly connected to the end portion 12a of the voice coil wire.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcement 5 is a Z-shaped steel sheet, including a first reinforcement portion 51 , a second reinforcement portion 52 and a third reinforcement portion 53 that are connected to each other.

[0031] like Figure 3-4 As shown, after assembly, the vibration system 1, magnetic circuit system 2, and conductive member 3 are all housed and fixed in the fixing member. The conductive member 3 faces the diaphragm 11, and the outer periphery 33 of the conductive member 3 is fixed to the frame 41 to support the arm portion 32 and the connecting portion 31. The four connecting portions 31 of the conductive member 3 are spaced apart outside the fillet of the voice coil and are adjacent to and spaced apart from the outer surface 122 of the voice coil. The connecting portion 31 has an upper connecting portion surface 311 facing the diaphragm 11 and a lower connecting portion surface 312 facing away from the diaphragm 11. The end 12a of the voice coil wire is connected to the upper connecting portion surface 311 or the lower connecting portion surface 312.

[0039] The present invention replaces the skeleton structure by providing a spherical top boss 1112 on the spherical top portion 111 that is integrated with the spherical top body 1111, thereby reducing the assembly process of the skeleton and reducing the weight of the sound generator; by providing a reinforcement member 5, the voice coil 12 and the conductive member 3, which were originally connected only by the voice coil wire, have a more stable connection relationship, preventing the voice coil 12 and the conductive member 3 from separating, thereby increasing the reliability of the sound generator.

[0040] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, but these improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
