Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of loudspeaker technology, and particularly to sound-generating devices and sound-generating modules. Background Technology

[0002] In conventional loudspeakers, the voice coil and diaphragm vibrate in the same direction. To increase the diaphragm's vibration amplitude, the physical height of the entire driving structure, including the magnetic circuit system and voice coil, must be increased accordingly, resulting in an increase in the overall height of the product. Current smart products are trending towards thinner and lighter designs, leading to limited internal space and thus restricting the product's vibration amplitude. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a sound-generating device and a sound-generating module that can achieve a large displacement amplitude of the loudspeaker without increasing the thickness of the product.

A vibration assembly includes a diaphragm, two voice coils, and two connecting structures. The diaphragm is connected to the other end of the housing along a first direction. The two voice coils are respectively located within two magnetic gaps. Under the action of magnetic force, both voice coils can swing along an axis extending in a third direction. The connecting structure has a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. The first end is connected to the diaphragm, and the second end is connected to the two voice coils. When the voice coils swing, the first end and the second end can move relative to each other in the first direction, thereby converting the rotational drive of the voice coils into a linear drive along the first direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] In one embodiment, in each of the magnetic groups, the central magnetic portion and the two side magnetic portions are all magnetized along the second direction, and the magnetization directions are the same; the magnetization directions of the central magnetic portions of the two magnetic groups are opposite; or, In each of the magnetic groups, the central magnetic part and the two side magnetic parts are magnetized along the second direction and the magnetization direction is the same.

The magnetization directions of the first side magnet and the second side magnet are both set at an angle to the second direction. The magnetic poles of the first side magnet and the second side magnet near the magnetic gap are opposite in polarity to the magnetic poles of the central magnetic portion near the second side magnetic portion. The magnetization directions of the central magnetic portions of the two magnetic groups are opposite.

[0009] In one embodiment, the angle between the magnetization direction of the first side magnet and the second direction is 0° to 80°; and / or, The angle between the magnetization direction of the second magnet and the second direction is 0~80°.

[0010] In one embodiment, the two side magnets include a first side magnet located on the side of the voice coil away from the other magnet group, and a second side magnet located on the side of the voice coil closer to the other magnet group. The first side magnet or the second side magnet has a protrusion on the side facing the diaphragm, and the area adjacent to the protrusion forms a clearance groove, which is used to avoid a part of the connection structure.

[0011] In one embodiment, the connection structure is configured as a linkage mechanism, which includes a first linkage, a second linkage, and a third linkage connected in sequence. The first linkage is connected to the diaphragm, the third linkage is connected to the voice coil, and the second linkage is connected to the first linkage and the third linkage through a first flexible part.

[0012] In one embodiment, the linkage mechanism further includes a flexible pad, wherein the first link, the second link, and the third link are all fixedly connected to the flexible pad, such that the portion of the flexible pad located between the second link and the first link and the third link forms the first flexible portion; and / or, Multiple second links are provided, and the multiple second links are arranged at intervals along a third direction; and / or, The rotation axes of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod relative to each other are arranged to coincide with the projection of the corresponding rotation axis of the voice coil along the first direction; and / or, The distance between the rotation centers of the two first flexible parts is L1, and the distance between the rotation center of the first flexible part closest to the corresponding voice coil and the rotation center of the voice coil is L2. When the vibration assembly is in the equilibrium position, L1=L2.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sound-generating device further includes two rotating engagement structures corresponding to the two voice coils. Each rotating engagement structure includes two first connectors and two second connectors. The two second connectors are fixedly connected to the two opposite sides of the voice coils along a third direction. The two first connectors are connected to the second connectors through a second flexible part and are fixedly connected to the housing.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first connector and the second connector that cooperate with each other each include a body and a protrusion. The body of the first connector is connected to the housing. The protrusion of the first connector is connected to the middle part of the second flexible part and is located on the rotation axis of the voice coil. The second connector has two protrusions, which are respectively connected to the two opposite sides of the second flexible part along the second direction. The body of the second connector is connected to the third connecting rod.

[0015] In one embodiment, the second connector is stepped; and / or, The second connector and the third connecting rod are integrally formed.

[0016] In one embodiment, the housing includes a first housing and a second housing disposed along the first direction, the diaphragm is connected to the first housing, and the magnetic circuit assembly is connected to the second housing; a rear cavity is formed between the diaphragm and the second housing, and a vent hole communicating with the rear cavity is provided on the side surface of the second housing or the first housing; and / or, The side surface of the housing has a through hole, and part of the magnetic circuit assembly is disposed in the through hole.

[0017] The present invention also proposes a sound-generating module, including a housing and a sound-generating device, wherein the sound-generating device includes: case; A magnetic circuit assembly, connected to one end of the housing along a first direction, the magnetic circuit assembly having two magnetic gaps spaced apart along a second direction; and... A vibration assembly includes a diaphragm, two voice coils, and two connecting structures. The diaphragm is connected to the other end of the housing along a first direction. The two voice coils are respectively located within two magnetic gaps. Under the action of magnetic force, both voice coils can swing along an axis extending in a third direction. The connecting structure has a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. The first end is connected to the diaphragm, and the second end is connected to the two voice coils. When the voice coils rotate, the first end and the second end can move relative to each other in the first direction, thereby converting the rotational drive of the voice coils into a linear drive along the first direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The peripheral side of the housing is provided with vent holes; The housing includes a main body and a sound-emitting part located on the side of the main body. The main body is located on one side of the sound-generating device. The main body is connected to the vibration assembly and forms a front cavity with the diaphragm. The sound-emitting part communicates with the front cavity.

[0018] In the technical solution of this invention, by rationally designing the magnetic field distribution of the magnetic circuit assembly, the voice coil can be rotated along a third-direction axis under the influence of magnetic force after being energized. When the voice coil rotates, the first and second ends of the connecting structure can move closer or further apart in the first direction, thus amplifying the displacement. The voice coil only needs a small oscillation amplitude to drive the diaphragm to achieve a large vibration displacement. The cooperation between the two voice coils and the two connecting structures can provide a stable tensile force to the diaphragm, while also allowing the horizontal component forces generated during the movement of the two connecting structures to cancel each other out, thereby ensuring stable vibration of the diaphragm in the first direction.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.

[0026] In conventional loudspeaker vibration systems, the voice coil typically vibrates perpendicular to the magnet, thus its maximum amplitude is limited by the height of both the voice coil and the magnet. As the amplitude gradually increases, the effective size of the voice coil within the magnetic gap gradually decreases. When the amplitude reaches a large value, the voice coil may jump out of the magnetic gap, affecting its ability to drive the voice coil to achieve large-amplitude vibrations, further limiting the loudspeaker's performance. Meanwhile, current smart products are rapidly developing towards thinner and lighter designs, with increasingly compact internal spaces, making it difficult to increase the height of the loudspeaker. This further restricts the loudspeaker's amplitude, limiting its overall sound performance potential.

[0027] This invention proposes a sound-generating device that converts the oscillating motion of the voice coil into the up-and-down vibration of the diaphragm, thereby achieving a large displacement amplitude of the loudspeaker without increasing the product thickness.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The sound-generating device 100 includes a housing 1, a magnetic circuit assembly 3, and a vibration assembly 2. The magnetic circuit assembly 3 is connected to one end of the housing 1 along a first direction and has two magnetic gaps spaced apart along a second direction. The vibration assembly 2 includes a diaphragm 21, two voice coils 22, and two connecting structures 23. The diaphragm 21 is connected to the other end of the housing 1 along the first direction. The two voice coils 22 are respectively located in the two magnetic gaps. Under the action of magnetic force, both voice coils 22 can swing along an axis extending in a third direction. The connecting structure 23 has a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. The first end is connected to the diaphragm 21, and the second end is connected to the two voice coils 22. When the voice coils 22 swing, the first end and the second end can move relative to each other in the first direction, thereby converting the rotational drive of the voice coils 22 into a linear drive along the first direction.

[0029] In the technical solution of this invention, by rationally designing the magnetic field distribution of the magnetic circuit assembly 3, the voice coil 22 can be oscillated along a third-direction axis under the action of magnetic force after being energized. When the voice coil 22 oscillates, the first end and the second end of the connecting structure 23 can move closer to or further away from each other in the first direction, thus amplifying the displacement. The voice coil 22 only needs a small oscillation amplitude to drive the diaphragm 21 to achieve a large vibration displacement. The cooperation between the two voice coils 22 and the two connecting structures 23 can provide a stable pulling force for the diaphragm 21, thereby ensuring the stable vibration of the diaphragm 21 in the first direction.

[0030] It should be noted that the first direction, second direction, and third direction shown in this invention are perpendicular to each other and are relative directions. Depending on the different usage states and placement positions of the product, the first direction, second direction, and third direction can correspond to the up-down direction, the front-back direction, and the left-right direction. In this embodiment, the first direction corresponds to the thickness direction of the voice coil 22, the second direction corresponds to the extension direction of the short axis side of the voice coil 22, and the third direction corresponds to the extension direction of the long axis side of the voice coil 22.

[0031] It should be understood that during the oscillation of voice coil 22, it should always be within the magnetic field region, and the two voice coils 22 should remain synchronized.

[0032] Specifically, by changing the direction of the current in the voice coil 22, the swing direction of the voice coil 22 is changed, thereby driving the diaphragm 21 to vibrate up and down in the first direction. The following describes the different positions of the diaphragm 21 corresponding to the three states of the voice coil 22 according to one embodiment: Equilibrium position (please refer to) Figure 2 The voice coil 22 remains horizontal, and the diaphragm 21 remains in its initial position. Lower vibration position (please refer to) Figure 3 The two voice coils 22 rotate in opposite directions at a certain angle, and the distance between the first and second ends of the connecting structure 23 becomes smaller than when in the equilibrium position, causing the diaphragm 21 to vibrate downwards. Upper vibration position (please refer to) Figure 4 The two voice coils 22 rotate relative to each other at a certain angle, and the distance between the first and second ends of the connecting structure 23 becomes larger than in the equilibrium state, causing the diaphragm 21 to vibrate upward.

[0033] The connecting structure 23 can be multiple rigid components that are rotatably connected to each other, or it can be a flexible component with a certain toughness, or it can be a structure in which rigid components and flexible components cooperate. The present invention does not limit this.

[0034] Depending on the form of the connection structure 23, in some embodiments, the two voice coils 22 swing in opposite directions. In this case, the two voice coils 22 can swing in opposite or opposite directions along a third-direction axis.

[0035] In this embodiment, the center line of the voice coil 22 is coplanar with the rotation axis of the voice coil 22. Here, the center line of the voice coil 22 refers to the central axis of the voice coil 22. At this time, the voice coil 22 is subjected to more balanced forces in the magnetic field, which can effectively reduce the additional stress caused by eccentric oscillation. The oscillation amplitude of the voice coil 22 is easier to control. When the diaphragm 21 vibrates up and down, the oscillation angle of the voice coil 22 relative to the horizontal plane tends to be consistent.

[0036] The major axis of the voice coil 22 extends in a third direction. The major axis sides of the two voice coils 22 that are close to each other are defined as the first major axis side 221, and the major axis sides of the two voice coils 22 that are far apart are defined as the second major axis side 222. The second ends of the two connecting structures 23 are connected to either the two first major axis sides 221 or the two second major axis sides 222, respectively. In this case, the rotation directions of the two voice coils 22 are opposite, driving the two connecting structures 23 synchronously to drive the diaphragm 21 with the same displacement. This configuration ensures that the rotation axis of the voice coil 22 is aligned with the extension direction of its major axis side, thereby improving energy transfer efficiency.

[0037] For example, taking the second direction as left and right as an example, please combine... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first major axis edge 221 and the second major axis edge 222 of the two voice coils 22 on the left and right sides are symmetrically arranged. The two connecting structures 23 are located on the sides of the two voice coils 22 that are far apart from each other, that is, they connect the two second major axis edges 222 respectively. When the two voice coils 22 rotate toward each other, the diaphragm 21 vibrates upward. Please refer to Figure 17 The two connecting structures 23 are located on the sides of the two voice coils 22 that are close to each other, that is, they connect the two first long axis sides 221. Accordingly, when the two voice coils 22 rotate toward each other, the diaphragm 21 vibrates downward. Axis b is the central axis of the sound-generating device perpendicular to the second direction (in conjunction with...). Figure 10 The two connecting structures 23 are symmetrically distributed along axis b, meaning they are mirror-symmetrical. This symmetrical distribution ensures a more balanced driving force on the diaphragm 21 during the oscillation of the two voice coils 22. It also allows the horizontal components of the forces generated by the two connecting structures 23 during their movement to cancel each other out, effectively preventing diaphragm 21 vibration shift or distortion caused by excessive force on one side. Furthermore, regardless of whether the connecting structure 23 is located near or far from the voice coil 22, its connection point with the voice coil 22 is within the effective lever arm of the voice coil 22's vibration. This allows the oscillation of the voice coil 22 to be efficiently converted into the vibrational energy of the diaphragm 21, and more effectively cancels out the horizontal components of the forces generated by the connecting structure 23.

[0038] The magnetic circuit assembly 3 includes two magnetic groups arranged sequentially along the second direction. Each magnetic group includes a central magnetic part 31 and two side magnetic parts 32. The two side magnetic parts 32 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the central magnetic part 31 along the second direction. The two side magnetic parts 32 and the central magnetic part 31 together define a magnetic gap.

[0039] Depending on the different requirements of the product size, in one embodiment, the two long axis sides of the voice coil 22 are located within two magnetic gaps. At this time, the extension direction of the long axis side of the voice coil 22 is consistent with the direction of the rotation axis of the voice coil 22. Based on this rotational fit relationship, the connecting structure 23 is preferentially connected to the long axis side of the voice coil 22.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 11 In the first magnetization scheme, in each magnetic group, the central magnetic part 31 and the two side magnetic parts 32 are magnetized along the second direction, and the magnetization directions are the same. The magnetization directions of the central magnetic parts 31 of the two magnetic groups are opposite. At this time, the N pole of the central magnetic part 31 is opposite to the S pole of the side magnetic parts 32, and the S pole of the central magnetic part 31 is opposite to the N pole of the side magnetic parts 32, so that a uniform magnetic field with the same direction is formed in the magnetic gap. Therefore, when current is passed through the voice coil 22, the Ampere force on the two long axis sides of the voice coil 22 is in different directions, realizing the oscillation of the voice coil 22. At this time, the current direction of the two voice coils 22 is the same. Figure 21 With this magnetization method, the magnetic field line density on both sides is more balanced, and the voice coil 22 experiences more symmetrical forces in the magnetic field.

[0041] It should be noted that the central magnetic part 31 and the two side magnetic parts 32 in this solution are all permanent magnets. Compared with the conventional product solution of magnetizing along the vibration direction (axial magnetization) and setting a magnetic guide above the magnet, the technical solution of this invention is to magnetize perpendicular to the vibration direction (radial magnetization), which does not require setting a magnetic guide. Therefore, the thickness of the sound generating device can be further reduced, which is conducive to the design of a thinner and lighter device.

[0042] In the second magnetization scheme, in each magnetic group, the central magnetic part 31 and the two side magnetic parts 32 are magnetized along the second direction, and the magnetization directions are the same. The magnetization directions of the central magnetic parts 31 of the two magnetic groups are the same, and the adjacent side magnetic parts 32 in the two magnetic groups are either integrally arranged or separately arranged. At this time, the current directions of the two voice coils 22 are opposite. Please refer to... Figure 22 When the adjacent side magnetic parts 32 in the two magnetic groups are integrated or separate, the magnetic circuit assembly 3 can be fixed to the housing first, and then the side magnetic parts 32 can be magnetized. This is because magnetization in a single direction will not cause the magnets to repel each other, making it easier to position them.

[0043] The side magnet 32 ​​located on the side of the voice coil 22 furthest from the other magnet group is defined as the first side magnet 321, and the side magnet 32 ​​located on the side of the voice coil 22 closest to the other magnet group is defined as the second side magnet 322. Please refer to... Figure 12In each magnetic assembly, the central magnetic section 31 and the first side magnetic section 321 are both magnetized along the second direction, and the magnetization directions are the same. The second side magnetic section 322 includes a first side magnet 3221 and a second side magnet 3222 stacked along the first direction. The magnetization directions of the first side magnet 3221 and the second side magnet 3222 are both set at an angle to the second direction. The magnetic poles of the first side magnet 3221 and the second side magnet 3222 near the magnetic gap are opposite in polarity to the magnetic poles of the central magnetic section 31 near the second side magnetic section 322. The magnetization directions of the central magnetic sections 31 of the two magnetic assemblies are opposite. By setting the second side magnetic section 322 located between the two voice coils 22 as a separate unit, and setting the magnetization of the first side magnet 3221 and the second side magnet 3222 at a first fixed angle, it is intended that the magnetic field generated by the second side magnet 3222 can form a superposition and enhancement effect with the magnetic field generated by the first side magnet 3221 within the magnetic gap. When current flows through the voice coil 22, the conductor of the voice coil 22 in this combined magnetic field will be subjected to a greater Ampere force, which will give the voice coil 22 a greater driving force, thereby driving the diaphragm 21 to produce a greater amplitude vibration.

[0044] The magnetization direction of the first side magnet 3221 and / or the second side magnet 3222 forms an angle of 0° to 80° with the second direction. In this embodiment, the magnetization direction of the first side magnet 3221 forms an angle of 60° with the second direction. Simultaneously, the first side magnet 3221 and the second side magnet 3222 are symmetrically arranged, with the magnetization direction of the second side magnet 3222 forming an angle of 120° with the magnetization direction of the first side magnet 3221. This arrangement allows the first side magnet 3221 to be magnetized along a direction forming a 60° angle with the second direction, while the second side magnet 3222 is magnetized along a direction forming a 120° angle with the magnetization direction of the first side magnet 3221. The magnetic fields generated by the two magnets within the magnetic gap can form a specific superposition effect. Of course, in other cases, the angle between the magnetization direction of the first side magnet 3221 and / or the second side magnet 3222 and the second direction can be 70°, 50°, 45°, 30°, etc., depending on specific requirements.

[0045] For further details, please refer to Figure 13Of the two side magnetic sections 32, the side magnetic section 32 located on the side of the voice coil 22 away from the other magnetic group is the first side magnetic section 321, and the side magnetic section 32 located on the side of the voice coil 22 closer to the other magnetic group is the second side magnetic section 322. The first side magnetic section 321 or the second side magnetic section 322 has a protrusion 323 protruding on the side facing the diaphragm 21. This structure can enhance the magnetic field performance of the magnetic circuit. Specifically, the protrusion 323 can have a positive influence on the distribution of magnetic lines of force in the magnetic gap. By changing the local density and direction of the magnetic field, the magnetic field environment in which the voice coil 22 is located during vibration is optimized, thereby effectively improving the stability and strength of the Ampere force generated by the voice coil 22 when cutting magnetic lines of force. When an alternating current is passed through the voice coil 22 and it vibrates in a magnetic field, the presence of the protrusion 323 helps reduce magnetic field leakage, concentrates more magnetic flux in the effective working area of ​​the voice coil 22, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the sound-generating device 100, ensuring that the diaphragm 21 can obtain a stronger and more uniform driving force, and ultimately improving the sound quality and output power of the sound-generating device 100. The area adjacent to the protrusion 323 forms a clearance groove 324, which is used to avoid a portion of the connecting structure 23. By defining a space between two protrusions 323, the movement path of the connecting structure 23 can be avoided. The location and size of the clearance groove 324 must be adapted to the movement trajectory of the connecting structure 23 to ensure that the connecting structure 23 can move smoothly within the clearance groove 324 during the reciprocating vibration of the diaphragm 21, avoiding mechanical interference with the side magnet 32.

[0046] In the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 13 The connecting structure 23 is connected to the second long axis edge 222 of the two voice coils 22. The projection of the movement trajectory of the connecting structure 23 falls on the first side magnetic part 321. Therefore, a protrusion 323 and a relief groove 324 are formed on the first side magnetic part 321 for partial accommodation of the connecting structure 23.

[0047] In the second embodiment, please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 19 The connecting structure 23 is connected to the first long axis side 221 of the two voice coils 22. The projection of the moving trajectory of the connecting structure 23 falls on the second side magnetic part 322. Therefore, a protrusion 323 and a relief groove 324 are formed on the second side magnetic part 322 for partial accommodation of the connecting structure 23.

[0048] Based on the rotational engagement of the voice coil 22, the shape of the central magnetic part 31 is not limited. In this embodiment, the central magnetic part 31 is set to an arc shape on both sides corresponding to the voice coil 22, thereby improving the utilization rate of the magnetic field. In other embodiments, the central magnetic part 31 can also be set as a bar magnet or a cylindrical magnet.

[0049] In this embodiment, the connecting structure 23 is configured as a linkage mechanism. The structural characteristics of the linkage mechanism can convert the small oscillation amplitude of the voice coil 22 into a large displacement of the diaphragm 21, thereby meeting the design requirements. The linkage mechanism consists of multiple mutually rotatably connected links, and the number and arrangement of the links are not limited. Furthermore, the lengths of the multiple links can be set differently to accommodate different transmission ratio requirements.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 6 to 7 The linkage mechanism includes a first link 231, a second link 232, and a third link 233 connected in sequence. The first link 231 connects to the diaphragm 21, and the third link 233 connects to the voice coil 22. The second link 232 is connected to both the first link 231 and the third link 233 via a first flexible part 234. As a rigid-flexible coupling component, the first link 231 and the third link 233 are rigidly connected to the voice coil 22 and the diaphragm 21, maintaining good consistency. Flexible joints provide relative displacement between adjacent links. The first flexible part 234 can bend under force, opening and closing adjacent links and causing the diaphragm 21 to vibrate. This flexible transmission structure reduces deformation during movement and effectively reduces energy loss due to mechanical friction, improving transmission efficiency. The first flexible part 234 also reduces the precision requirements for component installation during assembly, facilitating production and assembly. The first flexible part 234 can be made of silicone, rubber, cloth, thin metal sheet, or other flexible materials.

[0051] In this embodiment, the length of the second link 232 is greater than the length of the third link 233, which is greater than the length of the first link 231. The first link 231 is in contact with the diaphragm 21 as a whole, and the second link 232 and the third link 233 are set at an angle.

[0052] Furthermore, the third link 233 is stepped, thereby ensuring the height of the voice coil 22 within the magnetic gap.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 10In this embodiment, based on this linkage structure, two first flexible portions 234 are distributed along a first direction, one near the diaphragm 21 and the other near the voice coil 22. The distance between the rotation centers of the two first flexible portions 234 is defined as L1, and the distance between the rotation center of the first flexible portion 234 near the corresponding voice coil 22 and the rotation center of the voice coil 22 is defined as L2. When the vibrating assembly is in the equilibrium position, L1 = L2. Specifically, the rotation center of the first flexible portion 234 between the first link 231 and the second link 232 is the first axis of rotation, the rotation center of the first flexible portion 234 between the second link 232 and the third link 233 is the second axis of rotation, and the rotation axis of the voice coil 22 is the third axis of rotation. In the equilibrium position, the distance L1 between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation is equal to the distance L2 between the second axis of rotation and the third axis of rotation, that is, the lever arms are equal. This reduces torque fluctuations during transmission. When the voice coil 22 is driven by a force in the magnetic field and rotates around the third shaft, the torque transmitted to the first shaft through the second link 232 and the torque transmitted to the second shaft can be better balanced.

[0054] In some embodiments, adjacent connecting rod ends are fixedly connected to the first flexible portion 234. For example, the rigid connecting rod and the first flexible portion 234 can be integrally connected by injection molding, or they can be achieved by embedding. Please refer to... Figure 7 In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism further includes a flexible pad 235. The first link 231, the second link 232, and the third link 233 are all fixedly connected to the flexible pad 235, so that the portion of the flexible pad 235 between the second link 232 and the first link 231 and the third link 233 forms a first flexible part 234. At this time, the flexible pad 235, as an integral structure, can be attached to multiple links. This connection method has better stability. The flexible pad 235 can be fixed to each link by heat pressing or adhesive bonding.

[0055] Furthermore, multiple second links 232 are provided, arranged at intervals along a third direction. This arrangement reduces the overall weight, and the gaps between adjacent second links 232 allow for more airflow within the structure, reducing resonance. Correspondingly, the third link 233 can have multiple extensions corresponding to the multiple second links 232 to meet the torque transmission design requirements.

[0056] Combination Figure 10 The rotation axes of the first link 231 and the second link 232 are aligned with the rotation axis of the corresponding voice coil 22 along the first direction. That is, the first and third rotation axes both fall on the a-axis. This arrangement can improve energy transmission efficiency, effectively avoid additional torque and motion interference generated during transmission, and improve the overall motion accuracy and stability of the sound-generating device 100.

[0057] The third link 233 is fixedly connected to the major axis and / or minor axis of the voice coil 22. When the major axis of the voice coil 22 extends along a third direction, the third link 233 can be connected to the major axis of the voice coil 22, or the third link 233 can be connected to both the major and minor axes of the voice coil 22 simultaneously.

[0058] To ensure that the voice coil 22 can oscillate stably around its axis of rotation under the influence of the magnetic field, please refer to... Figure 5 The sound-generating device 100 also includes two rotating engagement structures 24 corresponding to the two voice coils 22. Each rotating engagement structure 24 includes two first connecting members 241 and two second connecting members 242. The two second connecting members 242 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the voice coils 22 along a third direction. The two first connecting members 241 are connected to the second connecting members 242 via a second flexible portion 243 and are fixedly connected to the housing 1. The material of the second flexible portion 243 can be silicone, rubber, cloth, thin metal sheet, or other flexible materials. Based on the connection and engagement of the second flexible portion 243, during the oscillation of the voice coils 22, the first connecting members 241 and the second connecting members 242 rotate relative to each other, causing the second flexible portion 243 to twist. This provides the necessary flexible support for the oscillation of the voice coils 22 and also provides a certain amount of rebound force.

[0059] Rotational fit structure 24 can be set separately; please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 9 The third link 233 of the linkage mechanism is connected to the long axis of the voice coil 22. The two second connecting parts 242 of the rotating fit structure 24 are distributed on both sides of the third link 233 along the third direction and are connected to the two short axis of the voice coil 22. The second connecting parts 242 and the third link 233 can be connected by welding, bonding or other methods.

[0060] Please combine Figure 6 and Figure 8 The second connecting member 242 is partially connected to one of the connecting structures 23 as a whole. Specifically, the third link 233 of the linkage mechanism is connected to the two second connecting members 242 as a whole, forming a U-shaped structure. The second connecting member 242 and the third link 233 can be integrally formed. This application does not limit this.

[0061] Furthermore, the first connector 241 and the second connector 242 that cooperate with each other both include a main body 2401 and a protrusion 2402. The main body 2401 of the first connector 241 is connected to the housing 1. The protrusion 2402 of the first connector 241 is connected to the middle part of the second flexible part 243 and is located on the rotation axis of the voice coil 22. The second connector 242 has two protrusions 2402, which are respectively connected to the two opposite sides of the second flexible part 243 along the second direction. The main body 2401 of the second connector 242 is connected to the third connecting rod 233. The two ends of the voice coil 22 are connected by a rigid second connector 242, and the housing 1 is connected to the rigid first connector 241. The two protrusions 2402 of the second connector 242 serve as two fulcrums, and the protrusion 2402 on the first connector 241 serves as a fulcrum corresponding to the rotation center. The second flexible part 243 is connected to multiple protrusions 2402, so that the middle and two ends can be twisted under the action of the protrusions 2402 at different positions on both sides, achieving the effect of flexible bending.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second connector 242 is stepped, such that the rotation axis of the voice coil 22 corresponds to the center line of the voice coil 22. Specifically, the main body 2401 of the second connector 242 is bent, thus having a plane arranged along a third direction and a vertical surface arranged along a first direction. The corresponding protrusion 2402 is connected to the vertical surface of the main body 2401 and is arranged close to the magnetic circuit assembly 3. The plane is in contact with the end face of the short axis of the voice coil 22 facing the diaphragm 21.

[0063] The second connector 242 and the third connecting rod 233 can be integrally formed, thus having good structural strength and torque transmission effect.

[0064] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 The housing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 arranged along a first direction. A diaphragm 21 is connected to the first housing 11, and a magnetic circuit assembly 3 is connected to the second housing 12. A rear cavity is formed between the diaphragm 21 and the second housing 12. A vent hole 121 communicating with the rear cavity is provided on the side surface of the second housing 12 or the first housing 11. Specifically, the first housing 11 is a frame structure with open sides on opposite sides along the first direction. The second housing 12 is open on one side facing the diaphragm 21, and a base plate is formed on the other side. The magnetic circuit assembly 3 is disposed on the base plate. When a rotating fit structure 24 is provided, the first connecting member 241 is connected to the second housing 12. The vent hole 121 communicating with the rear cavity is provided on the side surface of the second housing 12 or the first housing 11, which facilitates the exchange of airflow inside the sound-generating device 100 with the outside, making the air pressure on both sides of the diaphragm 21 more balanced and avoiding air pressure accumulation that could obstruct or distort the movement of the diaphragm 21.

[0065] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the side surface of the housing 1, and part of the magnetic circuit assembly 3 is disposed in the through hole. This can further reduce the overall size of the sound generating device 100. When the side surface of the housing has both a vent hole 121 and a through hole, the vent hole 121 and the through hole should be located on different side surfaces. For example, the through hole can be disposed between the second housing 12, or the first housing 11, or between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

[0066] In addition, the two ends of the voice coil 22 are connected to the support 5 to achieve electrical conduction. Since the voice coil 22 has a small displacement in this solution, the support 5 only needs a short length to meet the requirements. It can be connected by the lead wire of the voice coil 22 to replace the part that originally needed to be connected by the support 5. This setting reduces the risk of the support 5 breaking.

[0067] In the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 14 The support piece 5 is located outside the voice coil 22. The second housing 12 has grooves on opposite sides along the third direction to accommodate the support piece 5 and adapt to its size. Multiple vent holes 121 are provided on the walls of the opposite sides of the second housing 12 along the second direction. At this time, the first housing 11 has two protrusions corresponding to the two grooves so that they can be embedded in the two grooves to ensure a tight fit between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

[0068] In the second embodiment, please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 20 The support piece 5 is located between the two voice coils 22. The second housing 12 has first grooves on opposite sides along a third direction to allow partial insertion of the support piece 5. To accommodate the installation space of the support piece 5, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 both have second grooves on opposite sides along a second direction. Part of the side magnet 32 ​​is located within the second groove to accommodate the spacing requirements of the two magnet groups. At this time, multiple vent holes 121 are provided on opposite sides along a third direction of the first housing 11.

[0069] The diaphragm 21 includes a vibrating plate and a folded ring disposed around the vibrating plate. The connecting structure 23 connects to the vibrating plate. The surface of the vibrating plate is provided with a recess to increase stiffness and extend high-frequency vibration.

[0070] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12 In the first embodiment, two magnetic groups, two voice coils 22, and two linkage mechanisms are symmetrically distributed along the b-axis. In the two linkage mechanisms, the second linkage 232 is provided corresponding to the first side magnetic part 321. The first side magnetic part 321 is provided with multiple protrusions 323, and the side space of each protrusion 323 forms a relief groove 324 for the second linkage 232 to accommodate.

[0071] Please combine Figures 16 to 18 In the second embodiment, two magnetic groups, two voice coils 22, and two linkage mechanisms are symmetrically distributed along the b-axis. In the two linkage mechanisms, the second linkage 232 is provided corresponding to the second side magnetic part 322. The upper edge of the first side magnetic part 321 protrudes from the central magnetic part 31 and is inclined towards the b-axis in the direction away from the diaphragm 21 to form an inclined surface. The second side magnetic part 322 is a single long bar magnet with multiple protrusions 323. The side space of each protrusion 323 forms a relief groove 324 for the second linkage 232 to accommodate.

[0072] The present invention also proposes a sound-generating module, which includes a housing 4 and a sound-generating device 100. The specific structure of the sound-generating device 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the sound-generating module adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 15 The housing 1 has vent holes 121 on its peripheral side. The outer shell 4 of the sound-generating module includes a main body 41 and a sound-emitting part 42 located on the side of the main body 41. The main body 41 is located on one side of the sound-generating device 100. The main body 41 is connected to the vibration component 2 and forms a front cavity with the diaphragm 21. The sound-emitting part 42 communicates with the front cavity. The outer shell 4 serves as the module housing. After assembly, it can be installed in the electronic device as an integral component with the housing 1 and the devices on it. In this embodiment, the main body 41 and the sound-emitting part 42 together form the front shell, which serves as a semi-module structure. On the one hand, this reduces the overall height of the sound-generating module. On the other hand, the inner cavity of the housing 1 can directly communicate with the cavity of the electronic device, using the rear cavity of the whole device as a sound cavity, improving sensitivity, and reducing the vibration resistance.

[0074] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
