[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 ,in, Figure 1 This is a front side view of a miniature loudspeaker according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a rear side view of a miniature loudspeaker illustrated according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the I-I' section of a miniature loudspeaker. Figure 4 for Figure 1 An exploded view of a miniature speaker.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the miniature loudspeaker 1 includes a frame 10 and a drum paper 20 disposed on the frame 10. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the drum paper 20 may include a diaphragm 201 and a surround 202 surrounding the diaphragm 201 with an arc-shaped or wavy cross-section. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the diaphragm 201 and the surround 202 may be made of different materials, but are not limited thereto.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the diaphragm 201 of the diaphragm 20 is flexibly connected to one end of the frame 10 via a suspension edge 202. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the diaphragm 201 is elongated, meaning its length is greater than its width. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame 10 has an opening 10p adapted to the shape of the diaphragm 20, and the diaphragm 201 is connected to the frame 10 via an annular suspension edge 202 to seal the opening 10p, thus forming a suspension system at one end of the frame 10.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic circuit structure 30 is provided within the frame 10, including a main magnetic part 301, a yoke 303 covering and surrounding the main magnetic part 301, and a washer 305 disposed on the main magnetic part 301 for conducting magnetism. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the main magnetic part 301 is fixed to the flat bottom 303b of the yoke 303. According to an embodiment of the present invention, as... Figure 3As shown, a magnetic gap G is provided between the main magnetic part 301 and the plurality of concave and folded portions 303a of the yoke 303. The concave and folded portions 303a are substantially perpendicular to the flat bottom 303b of the yoke 303 and have the same height. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the yoke 303 can be glued and fixed to the inner periphery of the frame 10 by means of the concave and folded portions 303a of the yoke 303.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the yoke 303 has, for example, four discontinuous concave folds 303a, with gaps 303g formed between adjacent concave folds 303a. Four downwardly extending wall structures 110a are provided on the frame 10 relative to the four gaps 303g between the concave folds 303a of the yoke 303. During assembly, the wall structures 110a seal the corresponding gaps 303g, forming a sealed space SS between the diaphragm 20, the yoke 303, and the frame 10. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a vent hole VH is provided on the flat bottom 303b of the yoke 303, and a breathable mesh PL is attached to the outside of the vent hole VH to balance the internal and external pressure.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a voice coil 40 is further provided inside the frame 10. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voice coil 40 is formed by winding enameled wire separately, without the need for a voice coil bobbin. The voice coil 40 is fitted around the outer periphery of the main magnetic part 301 and passes through the magnetic gap G in the vertical direction. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voice coil 40 is configured as an elongated shape, that is, its length dimension is greater than its width dimension, and one end of the voice coil 40 is fixedly connected to the diaphragm 201. Preferably, in an embodiment of the present invention, the center of the voice coil 40 is located on the central axis of the diaphragm 201 in the length direction. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voice coil 40 can be connected to an external signal via a voice coil lead, and in conjunction with the magnetic field provided by the magnetic circuit structure 30, the voice coil 40 vibrates, driving the diaphragm 201 to vibrate and produce sound.

[0037] Because the miniature speaker 1 of the present invention forms a sealed space SS between the drum paper 20, the yoke 303 and the frame 10 through a special yoke 303 structure and the wall structure 110a on the yoke 303, the back box can be omitted, and the volume of the miniature speaker 1 can be further reduced, making it more suitable for use in smaller or thinner electronic products.

[0038] Please see Figures 5 to 6 ,in, Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a miniature loudspeaker according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 An exploded view of a miniature loudspeaker according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the same layers, regions, elements or materials are still represented by the same symbols.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the miniature speaker 2 is similar to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main difference in the structure of the miniature loudspeaker 1 is that a central opening 301p is formed in the main magnet 301 of the miniature loudspeaker 2, and a central opening 305p is formed in the washer 305. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the central opening 301p penetrates the entire thickness of the main magnet 301, and the central opening 305p penetrates the entire thickness of the washer 305. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the central opening 301p of the main magnet 301 is aligned with the central opening 305p of the washer 305. By providing such a special structure, the volume of the sealed space SS can be increased, enabling the miniature loudspeaker 2 to provide better sound effects.

[0040] Those skilled in the art should understand Figure 5 and Figure 6 The single central opening 301p and single central opening 305p shown are for illustrative purposes only. In other embodiments, there may be more than one opening in the main magnet 301 and the washer 305.

[0041] Please see Figures 7 to 8 ,in, Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a miniature loudspeaker according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 This is an exploded view of a miniature loudspeaker according to yet another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the same layers, regions, elements or materials are still represented by the same symbols.

[0042] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the structure of the miniature speaker 3 is similar to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The main difference in the structure of the miniature speaker 2 is that, in addition to the central opening 301p formed in the main magnet 301 and the central opening 305p formed in the washer 305, the miniature speaker 305 is covered with a breathable mesh fabric PU, and porous gas-absorbing materials such as zeolite ZL are filled into the central openings 301p and 305p to increase the virtual volume and achieve the effect of reducing the resonant frequency. According to an embodiment of the present invention, for example, the zeolite ZL may contain zeolite particles composed of silicon dioxide with a silicon-to-aluminum mass ratio greater than 200, or the zeolite ZL may not contain aluminum and may only be composed of pure silicon dioxide or MFI zeolite type modified from pure silicon dioxide.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
