[0040] As smart products become thinner, the limited internal space poses a huge challenge to the acoustic performance of speakers. If the size of the speaker is reduced, the performance of the speaker will be weakened. This is because traditional speakers usually improve performance by increasing the volume of the magnet to obtain better performance. However, the use of large-volume magnets will cause the size of the speaker to increase, resulting in the speaker being unable to meet size requirements. However, if the size of the speaker is reduced, the space inside the speaker will also decrease, that is, the space for accommodating the magnet may also decrease. In the case of insufficient space, only smaller magnets can be used, but the reduction in the volume of the magnet will cause the performance of the speaker to even fail to meet the requirements of the entire machine.

[0041] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a sound unit and a sound module to solve the problem of how to enhance the performance of the speaker.

[0042] See also Figures 3 to 5In one embodiment of the present invention, the sound-emitting unit 100 includes a magnetic circuit system 1 and a vibration system 2.

The sides of the first voice coil 22 and the second voice coil 23 away from the auxiliary voice coil 24 are both connected to the diaphragm 21. The current direction of the first voice coil 22 and the current direction of the second voice coil 23 are opposite to the current direction of the auxiliary voice coil 24.

Specifically, the first intermediate magnetic portion 1112 and the second intermediate magnetic portion 1113 are respectively provided with a first avoidance groove 11123 and a second avoidance groove 11133 for avoiding the first flange 1212 on the side facing the first flange 1212; by providing the first flange 1212, it is beneficial to improve the driving force factor BL of the auxiliary voice coil 24, and can also make the driving force trend of the auxiliary voice coil 24 on the diaphragm 21 flatter, thereby reducing the distortion of the sound unit 100; it should be noted that the first magnet 11121 is provided with a first avoidance groove 11123 corresponding to the first flange 1212, which not only avoids the interference between the first magnet 11121 and the first flange 1212, but also effectively reduces the thickness of the sound unit 100. Similarly, the second magnet 11131 is provided with a second avoidance groove 11133 corresponding to the first flange 1212, which not only avoids the interference between the second magnet 11131 and the first flange 1212, but also effectively reduces the thickness of the sound unit 100.

[0053] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the side magnetic yoke 122 includes a second body 1221 and a second flange 1222. The second flange 1222 bends from the inner periphery of the second body 1221 toward the diaphragm 21.

Specifically, a flange avoidance groove 11221 is provided on the side of the side magnet 1121 facing the second flange 1222 for avoiding the second flange 1222. By setting the second flange 1222, it is beneficial to improve the driving force factor BL of the auxiliary voice coil 24, and it can also make the driving force of the auxiliary voice coil 24 on the diaphragm 21 more flat, thereby reducing the distortion of the sound unit 100; it should be noted that the side magnet 1121 is provided with a flange avoidance groove 11221 corresponding to the second flange 1222, which avoids interference between the side magnet 1121 and the second flange 1222, and also reduces the thickness of the sound unit 100.
