[0021] The present invention provides a drum paper structure 100 .
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the drum paper structure 100 includes a carcass 1, the carcass 1 has a major axis and a minor axis, the carcass 1 includes two straight segments 11 and two arc segments 12, the two straight segments 11 are symmetrically distributed about the major axis, the two arc segments 12 are symmetrically distributed about the minor axis, the two sides of each straight segment 11 are respectively connected to the two arc segments 12, the two straight segments 11 and the two arc segments 12 enclose an upper opening 13, and the surface of the side wall of each straight segment 11 close to the upper opening 13 is arranged in an arc surface.
[0023] In the technical solution of the present invention, the surfaces of the side walls of the two straight sections 11 close to the upper opening 13 are arranged in an arc shape, and the arc surface provides a continuous transition area, so that when the carcass 1 vibrates or is subjected to force, the force can be more evenly dispersed to a larger area of the carcass 1, rather than concentrated on a specific point or line; compared with the straight line segment, the stress generated inside the arc surface when subjected to force is more evenly distributed, reducing the possibility of local stress concentration; the arc surface design increases the toughness of the structure, so that the carcass 1 can better absorb and disperse energy when subjected to impact or vibration, thereby reducing the risk of deformation and cracks; because the deformation of the carcass 1 is effectively controlled, the distortion phenomenon of the speaker when playing sound is significantly reduced, which means that the speaker can more accurately reproduce the original audio signal, providing clearer and more Natural sound; uniform stress distribution and reduced deformation not only improve the stability of the speaker, but also help to improve the sound quality. The speaker can better handle the performance at high volume while maintaining the dynamic range and details of the music; by reducing deformation during vibration, the durability of the drum paper structure 100 is improved, which means that the speaker can maintain optimal performance for a longer period of time, reducing the need for repair or replacement due to damage to the carcass 1; this drum paper structure 100 increases the strength of the carcass 1 by setting the surface of the side wall of the straight section 11 close to the upper opening 13 in an arc shape, thereby reducing the vibration deformation of the carcass 1 and the intermodulation distortion of the speaker, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the flatness of the speaker curve and high-frequency extension, and the listening experience is good, the sound is clear, and the product stability is also significantly improved.
[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the two ends of the arc side wall of each straight segment 11 and the arc top is H, where 0.1mm≤H≤10mm. An excessively large H value may cause the connection area between the straight segment 11 and the arc segment 12 to be too sharp, increasing the risk of stress concentration and easily causing local deformation or cracks in the carcass 1 during vibration. An excessively large H value may also cause a decrease in structural strength, making the carcass 1 more likely to deform or be damaged during vibration. An excessively small H value may cause the connection area between the arc segment 12 and the straight segment 11 to be too flat, reducing the vibration effect of the arc surface, thereby weakening the vibration amplitude and sound output of the carcass 1. An excessively small H value may also reduce the durability and reliability of the carcass 1 and shorten the service life of the speaker. Selecting a suitable H value is crucial to ensuring the performance of the carcass 1. The size of H needs to be carefully considered to balance the vibration effect, structural strength and acoustic performance. By optimizing the H value, the sound quality, sensitivity and durability of the speaker can be improved, thereby improving the overall performance and user experience.
[0025] To further enhance the strength of the carcass 1, refer to Figure 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the body 1 further includes four transition sections 14, each of which is connected to a straight section 11 and an arc section 12 on both sides, and the curvatures of the straight section 11, the transition section 14 and the arc section 12 are A1, A2 and A3 respectively, and A1<A2<A3. The four transition sections 14 connect the straight section 11 and the arc section 12 to ensure the continuity and smoothness of the structure. The design of different curvatures helps to more evenly distribute the stress generated during vibration, reduce stress concentration, thereby reducing deformation and improving the stability of the speaker; the curvature of the transition section 14 is between the straight section 11 and the arc section 12, which helps to smooth the vibration mode and reduce the unevenness during vibration. The gradual change of curvature helps to control the vibration characteristics of the body 1, improve the uniformity of the frequency response, and reduce distortion. The existence of the transition section 14 increases the overall strength of the body 1, making it more resistant to deformation caused by vibration.
[0026] To increase the strength of the edge of the carcass 1, refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, a folded edge portion 15 is formed at one end of the carcass 1 close to the upper opening 13 , and the folded edge portion 15 extends in a direction away from the center of the carcass 1 . The folded edge portion 15 is located near the upper opening 13 of the carcass 1 and extends in a direction away from the center of the carcass 1. This design increases the rigidity and strength of the edge of the carcass 1, helps to maintain the shape of the carcass 1 during vibration, and reduces deformation caused by vibration; when the speaker is working, the carcass 1 will vibrate up and down to produce sound. The existence of the folded edge portion 15 makes the edge of the carcass 1 more stable, reduces the bending and twisting of the edge portion during vibration, thereby reducing the overall deformation; the design of the folded edge portion 15 improves the durability of the carcass 1, making it more resistant to wear and damage during long-term use, and extending the service life of the speaker; by reducing the deformation of the carcass 1 during vibration, the folded edge portion 15 helps to maintain the acoustic performance of the carcass 1 and ensure the consistency and accuracy of the sound. Reducing the deformation of the carcass 1 can also reduce intermodulation distortion and provide clearer and more natural sound output.
[0027] In order to ensure the performance and durability of the carcass 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, the angle formed between the folded edge 15 and the carcass 1 is A, wherein 30 degrees ≤ A ≤ 150 degrees. When the angle is too small, the connection area between the folded edge 15 and the carcass 1 becomes sharp, which may cause stress concentration. The sharp angle means that during the vibration process, the material at the connection between the folded edge 15 and the carcass 1 needs to withstand a greater bending force, which may cause material fatigue and damage. In addition, the sharp angle may also cause scattering of sound during propagation, affecting the acoustic performance of the speaker; when the angle is too large, the rigidity of the folded edge 15 may not be sufficient to effectively support the carcass 1, resulting in the folded edge 15 being unable to provide sufficient structural strength during the vibration process and unable to effectively resist the force generated by the vibration, which may cause the carcass 1 to produce greater deformation during vibration, affecting the stability and durability of the speaker. Angles that are too large may also change the vibration mode of the drum paper, resulting in sound distortion or uneven frequency response; the angle A should be selected between 30 and 150 degrees. The angle within this range can provide sufficient structural strength while avoiding stress concentration, ensuring that the carcass 1 can evenly distribute stress during vibration and reduce deformation and distortion.
[0028] In order to ensure the performance and durability of the drum paper, in one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the folded edge 15 is D, where 0.3mm≤D≤5mm. When the length of the folded edge 15 is too small, it may not provide sufficient structural support to resist the force generated during vibration, and cannot effectively disperse the stress generated by vibration, resulting in stress concentration in the edge area, which in turn causes the edge of the carcass 1 to be more easily deformed or damaged during vibration, increasing the risk of rupture or cracking of the drum paper, affecting the durability and reliability of the speaker; when the length of the folded edge 15 is too large, the excessively long folded edge 15 may change the vibration mode of the drum paper, resulting in uneven sound propagation, and the excessively long folded edge 15 may also increase the weight of the drum paper. The increased weight may reduce the overall performance of the speaker, making the speaker sluggish in high-frequency response, resulting in acoustic distortion and thus affecting the sensitivity and response speed of the speaker. The length D of the folded edge 15 is selected between 0.3mm and 5mm. The length within this range can provide sufficient structural support while avoiding excessive weight increase or introducing additional acoustic distortion.
[0029] See also Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the carcass 1 is provided with a lower opening 16 coaxially arranged with the upper opening 13, and the cross-sectional area of the carcass 1 gradually decreases from the end close to the upper opening 13 to the end close to the lower opening 16. The coaxial arrangement of the upper opening 13 and the lower opening 16 helps to maintain the balance of the drum paper during vibration. The cross-sectional area of the carcass 1 gradually decreases from the end close to the upper opening 13 to the end close to the lower opening 16, aiming to optimize the mass distribution and vibration characteristics of the drum paper. By changing the cross-sectional area, the mass distribution of the drum paper can be adjusted so that the vibration is more concentrated in the central area of the drum paper, thereby improving the propagation efficiency and directionality of the sound; the gradually decreasing cross-sectional area may help to change the vibration mode of the drum paper, reduce the vibration of the edge, thereby reducing distortion and improving the sound quality.
[0030] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the wall surface of the body 1 is provided with a plurality of convex ribs 17 at intervals. The convex ribs 17, as structural reinforcements, can significantly improve the rigidity of the wall surface of the body 1. When vibrated, the convex ribs 17 can reduce the bending and twisting of the wall surface, thereby reducing deformation; the convex ribs 17 help to disperse the stress generated during vibration and avoid stress concentration in a specific area, thereby reducing the risk of rupture and cracking of the body 1; by increasing the durability of the body 1, the drum paper can be more resistant to wear and damage in long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the speaker; the appropriate design of the convex ribs 17 can improve the acoustic performance of the body 1, and provide a clearer and more natural sound output by adjusting the vibration mode and frequency response.

[0032] In the technical solution of the present invention, the folding ring 200 is an important component in the speaker, which connects the drum paper and other parts of the speaker, such as the frame or the box. The design of the folding ring 200 has an important influence on the vibration characteristics and sound output of the speaker; the design of the connecting part 210 enables it to adapt to the shape of the carcass 1, ensuring that the connection between the folding ring 200 and the carcass 1 is more stable and reliable, so as to improve the mechanical stability of the speaker and reduce the risk of deformation and damage during operation; through the carefully designed drum paper structure 100 and the folding ring 200, the acoustic performance of the speaker is optimized, including the uniformity of the frequency response and the quality of the sound.
