However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical scheme claimed in the present invention can be implemented.

[0047] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish different objects, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is more than two, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0048] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0049] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, technical terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., which indicate orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present invention.

[0050] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0051] In the drawings corresponding to the embodiments of the present invention, the thickness and area of ​​the layers are exaggerated for better understanding and ease of description.

[0052] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, when a certain component “includes” another component, unless otherwise stated, other components are not excluded and other components may be further included.

[0053] An embodiment of the present invention provides a speaker assembly, referring to Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0054] Install the body 1;

[0055] A plurality of dipole speaker units 2; each dipole speaker unit is arranged inside the mounting body; the dipole speaker unit is used to form a dipole sound source to achieve directional sound emission;

[0056] The control unit 3 is electrically connected to each dipole speaker unit 2 and is used to control control parameters of the dipole speaker unit 2 to adjust the sound field of the dipole speaker unit 2 in a preset area.

[0057] The specific structure of the above-mentioned mounting body is not limited and can be selected according to different application scenarios. For example, if the speaker assembly is used in a vehicle, the mounting body can be a headrest, a neckrest or a part of the seat of the vehicle.

[0058] The dipole sound source is two sound source points that are very close to each other, and their vibration amplitudes are the same, but the phases are opposite. The composite sound source formed by these two point sound sources is the dipole sound source. The specific structure of the dipole speaker unit is not limited, as long as it can generate a dipole sound source.

[0059] It should be noted that two driving voltages with the same amplitude and completely opposite phases can be used to drive the dipole speaker unit at the same time to achieve far-field radiation audio cancellation in the mid- and low-frequency bands, thereby improving the audio directivity effect of the mid- and low-frequency bands, and further achieving directional sound. The sound field directivity of the dipole speaker unit and the conventional speaker (generating only one sound source point) was tested in the near field 10cm and the far field 70cm, respectively, and the following results were obtained: Figure 2 The test results are shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown, the red curves a and b respectively represent the signal strength diagrams of the dipole speaker unit at 10cm near field and 70cm far field, and the black curves c and d respectively represent the signal strength diagrams of the conventional speaker at 10cm near field and 70cm far field. By comparison, it can be concluded that the dipole speaker unit has a significant improvement in the directivity of the sound field in the low-frequency range of 100-1000Hz.

[0060] The structure and type of the above-mentioned control unit are not limited. For example, the control unit may include a control chip, which may be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) chip, an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip or an ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) chip. Of course, other types of chips may also be included.

[0061] The control parameters of the above-mentioned dipole speaker unit are not limited. For example, the control parameters can be the amplitude of the driving signal, the phase of the driving signal, the delay time of the driving signal or the frequency of the driving signal. The control unit can adjust the intensity of the sound signal emitted by the dipole speaker unit by controlling the amplitude of the driving signal, etc., thereby adjusting the sound field of the dipole speaker unit in a preset area. The control parameters can be obtained by performing a time domain or frequency domain system identification method on the electrical / acoustic field performance of the dipole speaker unit, or can be calculated based on the physical parameters of the dipole speaker unit. Specifically, they can be obtained through relevant technologies and will not be repeated here. The characteristics of the control parameters are not limited, and they can be time-varying, linear or nonlinear. The control parameters can also be updated through monitoring by sensors.

[0062] Depending on the application scenario, the adjustment here can be the overall enhancement or weakening of the sound field in the preset area, or the enhancement or weakening of the frequency band, or it can be a customized adjustment of the amplitude, phase and signal delay, etc.; there is no specific limitation.

[0063] The above preset areas can be user-defined, manufacturer-defined, or the device adaptively perceives the space to be divided into user areas and preset areas, which is not limited here.

[0064] An embodiment of the present invention provides a speaker assembly, which forms a dipole sound source through a dipole speaker unit to achieve directional sound. At the same time, a control unit is used to adjust the control parameters of each dipole speaker unit to further adjust the sound field of each dipole speaker unit in a preset area, thereby further improving the effect of directional sound and greatly improving the user experience.

[0065] The structures of three dipole speaker units are provided below.

[0066] The first one, reference Figure 3 As shown, the dipole speaker unit 2 includes two independently arranged first speakers, and the driving signals of the two first speakers are in opposite phases and have the same amplitude.

[0067] The first speaker includes a first shell 211 and a first sound-emitting part 212. A first receiving cavity is arranged in the first shell 211. The first sound-emitting part 212 is arranged in the first shell 211 and divides the first receiving cavity into a first front sound cavity 213 and a first rear sound cavity 214. The first shell 211 is provided with a first speaker hole. The first front sound cavity 213 is connected to the outside of the first shell 211 through the first speaker hole; the first rear sound cavity 214 is closed; and the first rear sound cavities 214 of the two first speakers are arranged opposite to each other.

The driving mode of the first speaker includes electrostatic driving, piezoelectric driving or electromagnetic driving.

[0069] The structures of the two first speakers are completely identical. In this structure, the two first speakers are completely independently arranged, and the first rear sound cavities of the two first speakers are closed, so that the mutual interference between the two first speakers is small, which is conducive to modeling and debugging, thereby reducing the difficulty of design.

[0070] The second one, reference Figure 4 As shown, the dipole speaker unit 2 includes two second speakers which are connected to each other, and the driving signals of the two second speakers are in opposite phases and have the same amplitude.

[0071] The two second speakers connected to each other include a second shell 221 and two second sound-emitting parts 222. A second receiving cavity is arranged in the second shell 221. The two second sound-emitting parts 222 are relatively arranged in the second shell 221 and divide the second receiving cavity into a second rear sound cavity 224 and two second front sound cavities 223. The second shell 221 is provided with a second speaker hole. The two second front sound cavities 223 are connected to the outside of the second shell 221 through the corresponding second speaker holes respectively; the second rear sound cavity 224 is closed.

[0072] The second speaker hole can be configured to be arc-shaped, circular, elliptical, triangular, quadrilateral or hexagonal, etc. The number of the second speaker holes can be multiple, and the arrangement thereof is not limited. The driving mode of the second speaker includes electrostatic driving, piezoelectric driving or electromagnetic driving.

[0073] In this structure, the two second loudspeakers share the same second rear acoustic cavity, so that the volume of the rear acoustic cavity is larger and the size of the rear acoustic cavity can be set larger. Both the first structure and the second structure belong to closed-cavity loudspeaker structures.

[0074] The third type, reference Figure 5 As shown, the dipole speaker unit includes a third speaker;

[0075] The third speaker includes a third shell 231 and a third sound-emitting part 232. A third receiving cavity is arranged in the third shell 231. The third sound-emitting part 232 is arranged in the third shell 231 and divides the third receiving cavity into a third front sound cavity 233 and a third rear sound cavity 234. The third shell 231 is provided with a third sound hole and a fourth sound hole. The third front sound cavity 233 is connected to the outside of the third shell 231 through the third sound hole, and the third rear sound cavity 234 is connected to the outside of the third shell 231 through the fourth sound hole.

[0076] The third and fourth speaker holes can be arranged in arc, circle, ellipse, triangle, quadrilateral or hexagonal shapes. The number of the third and fourth speaker holes can be multiple, and the arrangement is not limited. The driving mode of the third speaker includes electrostatic driving, piezoelectric driving or electromagnetic driving.

[0077] The third structure belongs to the open rear cavity speaker structure. In this structure, the third rear cavity is not closed, and the sound waves emitted by the third rear cavity meet and overlap with the sound waves emitted by the third front cavity, thereby forming a dipole sound source.

[0078] In one or more embodiments, the multiple dipole speaker units each include any one of two independently arranged first speakers, two connectedly arranged second speakers, and one third speaker; that is, the multiple dipole speaker units of the above-mentioned speaker assembly are of the same type of structure.

[0079] Alternatively, among the plurality of dipole speaker units, a portion of the dipole speaker units respectively include two independently arranged first speakers or two connectedly arranged second speakers, and the remaining portion of the dipole speaker units respectively include a third speaker. That is, the plurality of dipole speaker units of the speaker assembly are a combination of different types of structures.

[0080] In one or more embodiments, the speaker assembly is applied to a seat, and the mounting body is a headrest or a neck pillow, and the neck pillow can be an external hanging type, or integrated on the headrest of the seat, which is not limited here. The external hanging neck pillow is made of a softer material and is closer to the user's ear, which has a certain effect on improving the near-field loudness, and can be more conveniently adjusted according to different heights of people, so that the dipole speaker unit fits better with the human ear.

[0081] The specific shapes of the headrest and neck pillow are not limited here, and two structures are provided below.

The dipole speaker units on both sides are closer to the front, which has a certain effect on improving the near-field loudness and making the sound field more surround. Issues such as line of sight obstruction and impact safety need to be considered during the design. The length of the two curved sub-parts cannot be too long.

[0084] In one or more embodiments, the control parameters include any one or any combination of the amplitude of the driving signal, the phase of the driving signal, the delay time of the driving signal, and the frequency of the driving signal.
