AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Thin speaker drivers suffer from split vibrations due to insufficient rigidity of the diaphragm assembly, which affects the high-frequency cutoff frequency and acoustic performance. At the same time, increasing the rigidity of the diaphragm will increase the height of the speaker driver, while thinning the magnetic circuit assembly will lead to a decrease in sensitivity.

Method used

It adopts a multi-voice coil loudspeaker unit structure, with adjacent voice coils connected by protrusions to form an integral structure, which enhances the rigidity of the diaphragm assembly. The magnetic circuit assembly is optimized through a magnetic guide structure, increasing the total length of the voice coil in the magnetic field.

Benefits of technology

It improves the acoustic performance and sensitivity of the speaker driver while maintaining the speaker driver's thinness and lightness, and enhances the high-frequency cutoff frequency and magnetic field strength.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electro-acoustic transducer, in particular to a multi-coil loudspeaker unit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to space limitations, the parts of a thin loudspeaker unit are often made thin. When the dome (also known as middle paste or ball top) in the diaphragm assembly is thinned to a certain extent, its rigidity will be significantly weakened, and the multiple voice coils in the loudspeaker unit will exhibit obvious split vibration (voice coil vibration out of sync), resulting in a frequency valley in the mid-high frequency of the loudspeaker unit, which affects the high-frequency cutoff frequency of the loudspeaker unit and leads to a decline in the acoustic performance of the loudspeaker unit.

[0003] To improve this problem, the traditional approach is to thicken the middle paste to enhance the rigidity of the diaphragm assembly, but this will result in an increase in the height of the loudspeaker unit. To avoid an increase in the height of the loudspeaker unit, the magnetic circuit components such as the magnetic steel, the dust cap, and the yoke are thinned based on the thickened middle paste, but thinning the magnetic circuit components will weaken the magnetic conductivity of the magnetic circuit components, resulting in a significant decline in the sensitivity of the loudspeaker unit. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present application is to provide a thin multi-coil loudspeaker unit with good acoustic performance.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: a multi-coil loudspeaker unit, comprising:

[0006] a basket;

[0007] a diaphragm assembly connected to the basket;

[0008] a plurality of voice coils connected to the diaphragm assembly, at least one of the two adjacent sides of two adjacent voice coils has a protruding portion protruding towards the other adjacent side, the protruding portion is connected to the other adjacent side to form a connecting portion; two adjacent voice coils have two connecting portions, and the two connecting portions and the two adjacent sides form a four-sided enclosed gap;

[0009] a magnetic circuit assembly connected to the basket, the magnetic circuit assembly comprises a yoke and a magnetic conducting structure provided on the yoke, and the magnetic conducting structure is arranged corresponding to the gap.

[0010] The present application has the following advantages:

[0011] The multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer has a novel single-body structure, and adjacent edges of two voice coils are connected through protruding parts, so that the multiple voice coils form an integral structure, thereby improving the rigidity of the diaphragm assembly of the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer, improving the vibration segmentation phenomenon (the phenomenon that each voice coil vibrates out of step) of the loudspeaker monomer, improving the high-frequency cutoff frequency of FR, and thereby improving the acoustic performance of the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer.

[0012] The magnetic circuit assembly in the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer does not need to be thinned, and the total length of the voice coil in the magnetic field is increased, thereby improving the BL value of the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker, improving the sensitivity of the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer, and further improving the acoustic performance of the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer.

[0013] The middle paste in the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer does not need to be thickened, thereby facilitating the thin and light of the multi-voice-coil loudspeaker monomer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
