[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Such as Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, a condenser microphone with a new type of microphone plate includes a microphone plate 1, which is generally made of copper. A first diaphragm pressing ring 2 and a second diaphragm pressing ring 3 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the microphone plate 1. The first diaphragm pressing ring 2 and the second diaphragm pressing ring 3 are fixed on the microphone plate 1 by screws. A gold-plated film 4 is covered on the first diaphragm pressing ring 2. Thus, the gap between the gold-plated film 4 and the microphone plate 1 changes, causing the capacitance to change. The second diaphragm pressing ring 3 covers the diaphragm 5. The gold-plated film 4 is connected to the first microphone wire 6, and the first microphone wire 6 is the positive wire. The microphone plate 1 is connected to the second microphone wire 7, and the second microphone wire 7 is the negative wire. Multiple stepped through-holes 8 and multiple blind holes 9 are distributed on the upper surface of the microphone plate 1. The stepped through-hole 8 refers to a hole that connects the front and back sides with different sizes, and the blind hole 9 refers to a hole that does not connect the front and back sides. The multiple stepped through-holes 8 include a first through-hole arrangement 10, two second through-hole arrangements 11, and two third through-hole arrangements 12. One second through-hole arrangement 11 and one third through-hole arrangement 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first through-hole arrangement 10 as a group, and the second through-hole arrangement 11 is arranged between the first through-hole arrangement 10 and the third through-hole arrangement 12. An insulating column 13 is arranged at the central position of the microphone plate 1, and a central fixing hole 14 is arranged in the middle of the insulating column 13. The connection line of the first through-hole arrangement 10 passes through the central fixing hole 14. The first through-hole arrangement 10 is linear. The first through-hole arrangement includes 6 stepped through-holes 8, and three stepped through-holes 8 are arranged as a group on both sides of the central fixing hole 14 respectively. The distance between the central fixing hole 14 and the nearest first through-hole arrangement 10 is 4 - 4.5 mm, preferably 4.2 mm. The distance between two adjacent stepped through-holes 8 in the first through-hole arrangement 10 is 2.5 - 3 mm, preferably 2.8 mm. The second through-hole arrangement 11 includes 4 stepped through-holes 8. Two stepped through-holes 8 form two groups of stepped through-holes 81 as a group. The connection line of the two groups of stepped through-holes 81 forms an included angle B of 140 - 150 degrees, preferably 143.1 degrees. The distance between two stepped through-holes 8 in each group is 4 - 5 mm, preferably 4.4 mm. The third through-hole arrangement 12 includes 5 stepped through-holes 8. The 5 stepped through-holes 8 include an intermediate through-hole 15 and four side through-holes 16. Two side through-holes 16 form two groups of side stepped through-holes 82 as a group. The two groups of side stepped through-holes 82 form an included angle A of 85 - 95 degrees at the intermediate through-hole 15, preferably 90 degrees. The distance between two stepped through-holes 8 in each group is 3.5 - 4.5 mm, preferably 4 mm. The stepped through-hole 8 includes a large through-hole and a small through-hole. The diameter of the large through-hole is 1 - 2 mm, preferably 1.5 mm, and the diameter of the small through-hole is 0.5 - 1 mm, preferably 0.85 mm.

[0027] Through specific embodiments of the present invention, the directivity is tested by using a professional instrument to test the microphone polar pattern. We judge the quality of the directivity by the shape of the polar pattern at different frequencies. The sound frequencies are generally divided into 500 Hz (A), 1000 Hz (B), 2000 Hz (C), and 4000 Hz (D), and the indicators of 500 Hz and 1000 Hz are particularly important. The distinction between good and bad directivity mainly depends on whether the shape of the test pattern can be close to a heart shape, which is called a cardioid pattern. The advantages of the cardioid pattern are obvious. It picks up the sound in the area you point to while ignoring other sounds. It is particularly suitable for the following situations: When recording a drum set, there are so many components closely together that it seems impossible to isolate them one by one. However, this can be achieved by using an appropriate cardioid microphone and the correct position and angle. In a live performance on stage, where sound comes from all directions, the cardioid pattern can play a good isolation role to prevent feedback. In a poor acoustic field environment, using a cardioid microphone at a short distance in a room with a poor sound field helps to reduce the pickup of reflected sounds. Figure 7 is a polar pattern of the prior art, and its 500 Hz and 1000 Hz frequency bands are both close to circular, with poor directivity. Figure 8 is the polar pattern tested by the present invention, and its 500 Hz and 1000 Hz frequency bands are both close to a heart shape, with good directivity.

[0028] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 shown, a metal gasket 18 is arranged above the gold-plated diaphragm 4, and an insulating column 13 with a central fixing hole is arranged in the center of the microphone head electrode plate 1. The central screw 17 passes through the metal gasket 18 and is inserted into the central fixing hole of the microphone head electrode plate 1, and the first microphone head wire 6 is connected to the central screw 17, so that the first microphone head wire 6 is connected to the metal gasket 18. A circle of through holes is evenly distributed on the upper part of the first diaphragm pressing ring 2, and a circle of edge fixing holes 19 is arranged on the edge of the microphone head electrode plate 1. The edge screw 20 passes through the through hole and enters the edge fixing hole 19, and the second microphone head wire 7 is connected to the edge screw 20, so that the second microphone head wire 7 is connected to the microphone head electrode plate 1.

[0029] As Figure 2 shown, the upper surface of the microphone head electrode plate 1 faces the first diaphragm pressing ring 2. The upper surface of the microphone head electrode plate 1 includes a central area and an edge area. A circle of protrusions is arranged in the edge area, so as to form a gap between the gold-plated diaphragm 4 and the central area. Compared with the traditional microphone head electrode plate 1, the intermediate gasket structure is omitted, making the assembly simple and the cost lower. The height of the circle of protrusions is 0.03 - 0.05 mm, preferably 0.04 mm. A washer 21 is arranged between the microphone head electrode plate 1 and the second diaphragm pressing ring 3, and the washer 21 is used to form a gap between the microphone head electrode plate 1 and the second diaphragm pressing ring 3.

[0030] As Figure 6As shown, a notch 22 communicating the inside and outside of the washer 21 is provided. The airflow generated by the vibration of the sound leaks to the outside from the notch, enhancing the directivity of the sound head. The notch is a parallel gap with a pitch of 0.3 - 0.5 mm, preferably 0.4 mm. The extension direction of the notch forms an angle of 35 - 55 degrees, preferably 45 degrees, with the radial direction of the washer.

Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the present invention and its core idea. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
