Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an expandable acoustic reinforcement component and a manufacturing method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of electroacoustic products. Background Art
[0002] European patent EP2424270 discloses a technology that uses zeolite materials to virtually enlarge the back cavity of a speaker. By arranging acoustic enhancement materials with gas adsorption and desorption capabilities such as zeolite and activated carbon in the speaker cavity, the performance of the speaker can be achieved as if the cavity volume was expanded to several times the original value without changing the cavity volume.
[0003] In recent years, this technology has been widely used in speakers of smartphones, tablets, thin and light laptops and other devices, enabling them to achieve better sound performance in limited space.
[0004] At present, acoustic enhancement materials are mostly in the form of granular microspheres with a diameter of 100-600 microns. Applying the granular microspheres to the back cavity of micro speakers can reduce the lowest resonance frequency, enhance low-frequency sensitivity, and improve the low-frequency performance of the speaker. However, during the application of granular acoustic enhancement materials, problems such as particle breakage, powder shedding, and collision noise have been reported. This problem is particularly obvious in low-temperature environments. The causes of this type of problem include:
[0005] The shape of the acoustic enhancement material particles and the limitations of the filling technology. Specifically, it is difficult for the acoustic enhancement material particles to be 100% filled in the speaker cavity space, that is, there will be empty space for the acoustic enhancement material particles in the cavity to move freely; in addition, when the speaker is working, the diaphragm pushes the airflow, and the airflow pushes the acoustic enhancement material particles, causing the acoustic enhancement material particles to vibrate, resulting in collisions between the acoustic enhancement material particles and between the acoustic enhancement material particles and the speaker casing, thereby causing the above situation to occur.
[0006] In addition, due to the current increase in consumer demand for the sound performance of electronic devices, speaker design requires a lower F0 value and tends to improve sound performance by increasing the amplitude. However, its negative effects include an increase in the operating temperature of the speaker, and the existing acoustic enhancement material particles usually have low thermal conductivity, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the speaker.
[0007] In this regard, Chinese patent CN111163392A achieves the purpose of fixing the acoustic enhancement material particles by simply mixing expandable microspheres with acoustic enhancement material particles and then loading them into a speaker. However, this technical solution has the following disadvantages: the prior art only simply mixes the acoustic enhancement material particles with the expandable microsphere material. In actual mass production applications, after the filling is completed, it is often easy for the ratio of expandable microsphere material to acoustic enhancement material particles filled in a single micro speaker to be inconsistent with the target ratio during mass mixing, resulting in poor uniformity of acoustic performance of the same batch of speakers, and unable to truly achieve reliable mass industrial production. Chinese patent CN111534017A makes improvements on the above scheme, bonding the expandable material pieces to the acoustic adjustment material particles one by one to achieve the purpose of collision buffering of the acoustic adjustment material particles. However, this technical solution still has the following disadvantages: in order to achieve effective collision cushioning, the volume of acoustic regulating material that can be filled in the same fillable space is significantly reduced, and in order to achieve effective bonding, the acoustic regulating material particles need to lose a certain amount of surface area, which reduces the number of channels through which air can enter the acoustic regulating material particles. The above two points both reduce the acoustic performance of speakers equipped with this component compared to speakers equipped with traditional acoustic regulating materials; and the size of traditional acoustic regulating material particles is at the micron level, and this technical solution also cannot achieve reliable large-scale industrial production.
[0008] Therefore, providing a new type of expandable acoustic reinforcement component and its manufacturing method and application has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field. Summary of the invention

[0034] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned expandable acoustic reinforcement member, wherein the manufacturing method comprises:

[0041] As a specific embodiment of the assembly method of the inflatable acoustic reinforcement member described above, the target apparent volume of the inflatable acoustic reinforcement member is 100-150% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied.
[0042] Among them, any one of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles, expandable acoustic enhancement sheets and any two or three of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles, expandable acoustic enhancement sheets and expandable acoustic enhancement coatings are filled and / or assembled into the back cavity of the speaker.

[0061] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and beneficial effects of the present invention, the technical scheme of the present invention is now described in detail in conjunction with the following specific embodiments, but it should not be understood as limiting the applicable scope of the present invention.
[0062] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a speaker. In some embodiments, the speaker 100 includes an acoustic sensor 110, an upper speaker housing 120, and a lower speaker housing 130. The acoustic sensor 110 is used to realize the conversion of electrical energy and acoustic energy. The acoustic sensor 110 is fixedly connected to the opening of the upper speaker housing 120, so that the sound propagation between the acoustic sensor 110 and the external space can be realized, and the connection method includes but is not limited to bonding, fastener connection, plug-in and the like. The upper speaker housing 120 includes an opening, and the upper speaker housing 120 is fixedly connected to the lower speaker housing 130, and the connection method includes but is not limited to bonding, fastener connection, plug-in and the like. The acoustic sensor 110, the upper speaker housing 120 and the lower speaker housing 130 together form the back cavity of the speaker 100.
[0063] In some embodiments, the speaker 100 further includes an acoustically transparent component 140. The acoustically transparent component 140 has low acoustic impedance and does not affect the gas flow in the rear cavity. In some embodiments, the acoustically transparent component 140 may be a combination of one or more of a cloth mesh, a metal mesh, a plastic mesh, etc. The acoustically transparent component 140 is assembled in the rear cavity of the speaker 100. In some embodiments, the acoustically transparent component 140 is fixedly connected to the upper speaker housing 120 and the lower speaker housing 130, respectively, and forms a cavity 150. In some embodiments, the acoustically transparent component 140 may be fixedly connected only to the upper speaker housing 120 or the lower speaker housing 130, and forms a cavity 150. In some embodiments, the acoustically transparent component 140 may be a three-dimensional structure, directly forming the cavity 150. The acoustically transparent component 140 allows gas flow between the cavity 150 and the rest of the rear cavity of the speaker 100. In some embodiments, the cavity 150 may be filled with an expandable acoustic enhancement piece. The expandable acoustic enhancement piece reduces the F0 value of the speaker 100 by adsorbing gas, and the bass performance is better. In some embodiments, the expandable acoustic enhancement member can be a combination of expandable acoustic enhancement particles, expandable acoustic enhancement sheets, expandable acoustic enhancement coatings, etc. When the speaker 100 is in normal speaker operating conditions, the acoustically transparent component 140 can confine the expandable acoustic enhancement member in the cavity 150.
[0064] Figure 2a and Figure 2b Schematic diagram of a cross-section of a cavity filled with expandable acoustic enhancement particles. Figure 2a An initial state of filling the cavity 150 with expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 is shown. Figure 2b The state where the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 are filled in the cavity 150 is shown.
[0065] In some embodiments, at least one side wall of the cavity 150 is a porous structure that allows gas to flow between the cavity 150 and the rest of the rear cavity of the speaker 100. In some embodiments, the cavity 150 is filled with a plurality of expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210. The expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 are porous structures with adsorption properties that can easily adsorb and desorb gas molecules. The filling amount of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 in the cavity 150 is 65%-95%. After the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 are filled into the cavity 150, the cavity 150 filled with the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 is subjected to one or more expansion triggering conditions. The particle diameter of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 in the initial state of filling is 50-900 μm, and the particle diameter can be selected according to the application scenario and requirements. The expansion triggering conditions include, but are not limited to, one or more combinations of mechanical force, temperature, humidity, sound waves, light, current, magnetic field force, chemical atmosphere, air pressure, etc. In some embodiments, when one or more expansion trigger conditions are applied, the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement particle 210 increases to a specific value and no longer changes. At this time, the expandable acoustic particle 210 reaches the assembled state, and one or more trigger conditions can continue to exist. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement particle 210 expands to a specific value, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement particle 210 expands to its initial state, that is, 105% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement particle 210 expands to its initial state, that is, 110% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement particle 210 expands to its initial state of filling, that is, 125% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancing particle 210 expands to its initial state, i.e., 135% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancing particle 210 expands to its initial state of filling, i.e., 145% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancing particle 210 expands to its initial state of filling, i.e., 150% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, after the one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed, the expandable acoustic enhancing particle 210 immediately reaches the filled state.In some embodiments, after one or more expansion triggering conditions are removed, the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 need to undergo a stabilization period to reach a fully loaded state.
[0066] The expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 loaded in the cavity 150 exert mechanical force on each other, effectively reducing or even eliminating the position movement of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 in the cavity 150, thereby effectively reducing or even eliminating the collision between the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210, and fully improving the service life of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210. In addition, compared with conventional acoustic enhancement particles, the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 have larger pore size and volume inside the particles. Under the premise of assembling the same number of expandable acoustic enhancement particles and conventional acoustic enhancement particles, the gas adsorption performance of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles in the assembled state is better than that of the conventional acoustic enhancement particles, thereby making the acoustic performance of the speaker better.
[0067] Figure 3a and Figure 3b Schematic diagram of a cross section of a cavity filled with an expandable acoustic enhancement sheet. Figure 3a An initial state of filling an expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 in a cavity 150 is shown. Figure 3b The state where the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 is completely filled in the cavity 150 is shown.
[0068] In some embodiments, at least one side wall of the cavity 150 is a porous structure that allows gas to flow between the cavity 150 and the rest of the rear cavity of the speaker 100. In some embodiments, the cavity 150 is filled with a plurality of expandable acoustic enhancement sheets 310. The expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 is a porous structure with adsorption properties that can easily adsorb and desorb gas molecules. The filling amount of the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 in the cavity 150 is 75%-95%. After the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 is filled into the cavity 150, the cavity 150 filled with the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 is subjected to one or more expansion triggering conditions. The sheet thickness of the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 in the initial state of filling is 50-900 μm, and the sheet thickness can be selected according to the application scenario and requirements. The expansion triggering conditions include, but are not limited to, one or more combinations of mechanical force, temperature, humidity, sound waves, light, current, magnetic field force, chemical atmosphere, air pressure, etc. In some embodiments, when one or more expansion trigger conditions are applied, the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 increases to a specific value and no longer changes. At this time, the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 reaches the assembled state, and one or more trigger conditions can continue to exist. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 expands to a specific value, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 expands to its initial state, that is, 105% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 expands to its initial state, that is, 110% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 expands to its initial state of filling, that is, 125% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 expands to 135% of its initial state, i.e., its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 expands to 145% of its initial state, i.e., its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 expands to 150% of its initial state, i.e., its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, after the one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed, the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 immediately reaches the assembled state.In some embodiments, after one or more expansion triggering conditions are removed, the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310 needs to undergo a stabilization period to reach a fully loaded state.
[0069] The inflatable acoustic enhancement sheets 310 loaded in the cavity 150 exert mechanical force on each other, effectively reducing or even eliminating the position movement of the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheets 310 in the cavity 150, thereby effectively reducing or even eliminating the collision between the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheets 310, and fully improving the service life of the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheets 310. In addition, compared with conventional acoustic enhancement sheets, the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheets 310 have larger pore size and volume inside the sheet layer. Under the premise of assembling the same number of inflatable acoustic enhancement sheets and conventional acoustic enhancement sheets, the gas adsorption performance of the inflatable acoustic enhancement sheet in the assembled state is better than that of the conventional acoustic enhancement sheet, thereby making the acoustic performance of the speaker better.
[0070] Figure 4a and Figure 4b Schematic diagram of a cross-section of a cavity equipped with an expandable acoustic enhancement coating. Figure 4a An initial state of assembly of an expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 in a cavity 150 is shown. Figure 4b The expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 is shown in a completed state of assembly in the cavity 150 .
[0071] In some embodiments, at least one side wall of the cavity 150 is a porous structure that allows gas to flow between the cavity 150 and the rest of the back cavity of the speaker 100. In some embodiments, the cavity 150 is equipped with an expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410. The expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 is a porous structure with adsorption properties that can easily adsorb and desorb gas molecules. The process of assembling the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 on one or more walls of the cavity 150 includes but is not limited to a combination of one or more methods such as spraying, brushing, and vapor deposition. The thickness and area of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 can be selected according to the acoustic performance requirements of the speaker 100. After the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 is assembled in the cavity 150, the cavity 150 equipped with the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 is subjected to one or more expansion triggering conditions. The expansion triggering conditions include but are not limited to a combination of one or more mechanical forces, temperature, humidity, sound waves, light, current, magnetic field forces, chemical atmospheres, air pressure, etc. In some embodiments, when one or more expansion trigger conditions are applied, the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 increases to a specific value and no longer changes. At this time, the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 reaches the assembly completion state, and one or more trigger conditions can continue to exist. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 expands to a specific value, the one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 expands to its initial assembly state, that is, 105% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 expands to its initial assembly state, that is, 110% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 expands to its initial assembly state, that is, 125% of its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 expands to 135% of its initial assembly state, i.e., its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 expands to 145% of its initial assembly state, i.e., its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed. In some embodiments, when the apparent volume of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 expands to 150% of its initial assembly state, i.e., its apparent volume before the expansion trigger condition is applied, the aforementioned one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed.In some embodiments, after one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed, the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 immediately reaches the assembled state. In some embodiments, after one or more expansion trigger conditions are removed, the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 needs to undergo a stabilization period to reach the assembled state.
[0072] The expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 assembled in the cavity 150 is fixed on the wall of the cavity 150, avoiding collisions between particles after conventional acoustic enhancement particles are loaded, thereby improving the service life. The expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 can also adapt to cavities 150 of different shapes, especially in cavities 150 with irregular shapes and narrow spaces, the filling rate of the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 is higher than the filling rate of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles 210 and the expandable acoustic enhancement sheet 310. In addition, compared with conventional acoustic enhancement coatings, the expandable acoustic enhancement coating 410 has increased pore size and volume inside the coating.

[0138] The test results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 7 As shown:
[0139] Table 2
[0140]
[0141] It can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2 above that the improved acoustic enhancement material particles provided in Example 1 of the present invention, i.e., the expandable acoustic enhancement particles, can fill the speaker cavity 150 after heat treatment, and the particles can be completely fixed in the speaker cavity 150 without particle collision, powder falling, etc.; in addition, in terms of acoustic performance, compared with the conventional acoustic enhancement material particles provided in Comparative Example 1, the improved acoustic enhancement material particles provided in Example 1 of the present invention have a performance improvement of about 12%, wherein "12%" is calculated according to the experimental data in Table 1 according to the following formula (1):
[0142]
[0143] In addition, in terms of reliability, compared with conventional acoustic enhancement material particles, the improved acoustic enhancement material particles provided in Example 1 of the present invention have better reliability; in summary, compared with the existing technical solutions for solving noise and powder falling, the expandable acoustic enhancement particles provided in the embodiment of the present invention have significantly better acoustic performance and reliability.
[0144] Test Example 3
[0145] This test example uses a heat transfer experiment to test the thermal conductivity of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles prepared in Example 1 and the acoustic enhancement material particles prepared in Comparative Example 1, wherein the steps of the heat transfer experiment include:
[0146] 1) The acoustic enhancement material particles prepared in Comparative Example 1 and the expandable acoustic enhancement particles prepared in Example 1 are respectively filled into a carrier tube. To simulate the actual usage scenario, the filling amount of conventional acoustic enhancement material particles and expandable acoustic enhancement particles in the carrier tube is 80% of the filling cavity volume. The carrier tube body is a hard heat-insulating material, and both axial ends are copper heat-conducting blocks, which seal the carrier tube filling cavity, and the aspect ratio of the carrier tube is greater than 5.
[0147] 2) The carrier tubes filled with conventional acoustic enhancement material particles and expandable acoustic enhancement particles were treated at 110° C. for 30 min and then cooled to room temperature.
[0148] 3) At room temperature, one axial end of the carrier tube is contacted with a constant temperature heat source (100° C.), and the other axial end is contacted with a thermocouple, and the temperature measured by the thermocouple after different time periods is recorded.
[0149] The results of the above tests are shown in Table 3 below:
[0150] Table 3
[0151] plan Starting temperature Temperature measured after 5 minutes The temperature was measured after 10 minutes. Example 1 25.1℃ 41.6℃ 49.2℃ Comparative Example 1 25.2℃ 36.4℃ 43.1℃
[0152] It can be seen from Table 3 above that compared with the conventional acoustic enhancement material particles in the art, the expandable acoustic enhancement particles provided in Example 1 of the present invention have more excellent thermal conductivity. The reason is that during the heat triggering treatment, the expandable material can increase the apparent volume of the particles. After the apparent volume of the particles increases, due to the extrusion between the particles, the contact area between the particles becomes larger and the contact becomes closer, thereby improving the thermal conductivity of the expandable acoustic enhancement particles.

Therefore, the replacement of equivalent components, or equivalent changes and modifications made according to the protection scope of the patent of the present invention, should still fall within the scope of this patent. In addition, the technical features of the present invention can be freely combined with each other, with each other and with each other, and with each other.
