Description

Technical Field

[0002] Conventional car speakers generate mechanical vibrations to push the surrounding air, and the air acts as a medium to generate fluctuations, thereby achieving the conversion of "electricity-force-sound". Most existing conventional car speakers are electric speakers. The host in the audio system converts the digital signal of the music software into a corresponding electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the speaker; when the coil in the speaker passes through an alternating current, the coil cuts the magnetic field lines and the coil moves, which drives the eardrum to vibrate, and the vibration of the eardrum will compress or stretch the air, thereby transmitting sound waves.

[0003] Such car speakers are usually distributed in the front and back or left and right directions inside the vehicle, so the direction of the speakers is not in a frontal symmetrical position, so the speakers will produce complex frequencies, such as long reverberation time, reflective time difference of sound waves, etc. In addition, the existing car speakers will generate electric potential due to electromagnetic induction, and then generate electrical signals that interfere with the sound, affecting the auditory experience. In addition, in order to spread the sound, the existing car speakers will form a speaker grid inside the vehicle, affecting the aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0035] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4A sound-generating glass comprises an outer glass plate 1, a first adhesive layer 2, an inner glass plate 3 and an electrostatic speaker 4; the electrostatic speaker 4 comprises a first electrode 41, a performance layer 42 and a second electrode 43 which are stacked in sequence; the surface of the performance layer 42 is coated with electrostatic charge; the first electrode 41 or the second electrode 43 is provided with a through hole for transmitting the amplitude of the performance layer 42; the outer glass plate 1, the first adhesive layer 2 and the inner glass plate 3 are stacked in sequence to form a laminated glass 10; the electrostatic speaker 4 is arranged in the laminated glass 10, and at least part of the electrostatic speaker 4 is embedded in the first adhesive layer 2. Among them, the electrostatic charge coated on the surface of the performance layer 42 should be a charge of the same polarity. Optionally, a plurality of electrostatic speakers 4 are arranged on one side of the laminated glass 10, or the same number of electrostatic speakers 4 are respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the laminated glass 10, and the electrostatic speakers 4 are symmetrically arranged. The setting position and the number of the electrostatic speakers 4 depend on the installation position of the sound-generating glass.

[0037] It can be understood that the electrostatic speaker 4 in the present invention is formed by coating the surface of the performance layer 42 with static charge and sandwiching the performance layer 42 between the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 43. When the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 43 receive an external electrical signal, an electric field change occurs. Since the surface of the performance layer 42 is coated with static charge, the performance layer 42 will vibrate and generate sound under the change of the electric field, and the generated sound is transmitted outward through the through holes on the first electrode 41 or the second electrode 43. When this type of electrostatic speaker 4 is installed in the laminated glass 10, it can make the glass have the ability to make sound. The installation position of the vehicle glass is usually set towards the head of the passenger. Therefore, by installing the electrostatic speaker 4 in the laminated glass 10, the glass has the ability to make sound, so as to solve the problem of uneven distribution of the positions of the existing vehicle speakers and improve the auditory experience.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electrostatic speaker 4 further includes a connector 44 and a protective layer 45; the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 43 are electrically connected to a connector 44 respectively; the protective layer 45 covers the side of the first electrode 41 or the second electrode 43 away from the performance layer 42. The connector 44 is configured to be electrically connected to an external driver for electrical signal transmission, thereby enabling the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 43 to change the electric field, thereby driving the performance layer 42 to vibrate and realize electrical sound conversion.

[0039] Among them, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 43 are both capacitor plates. The first electrode 41 and the second electrode 43 are electrically connected to the external amplifier through the connector 44. The amplifier converts the audio signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 43. The first electrode 41 and the second motor respectively generate high voltages with opposite polarities but the same intensity through the booster, thereby driving the performance layer 42 to vibrate.

[0040] In some embodiments, the performance layer 42 has a thickness of 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm. The performance layer 42 within this thickness range can have a good vibration amplitude to ensure the sound effect. The thickness of the performance layer 42 is only 1 / 100 of the thickness of the traditional speaker diaphragm. The thickness of the performance layer 42 can eliminate the phase difference and loudness difference generated during the vibration of the traditional speaker diaphragm and improve the sound effect of the speaker. Preferably, the thickness of the performance layer 42 is 0.02 mm, 0.03 mm or 0.04 mm.

[0041] In some embodiments, the outer glass plate 1 is semi-tempered glass, and the inner glass plate 3 is silicon-aluminum glass or semi-tempered glass. Optionally, one combination is that the outer glass plate 1 and the inner glass plate 3 are both semi-tempered glass; another combination is that the outer glass plate 1 is semi-tempered glass, and the inner glass plate 3 is silicon-aluminum glass. In this case, the thickness of the inner glass plate 3 is 0.5mm-1mm. Optionally, the thickness of the inner glass plate 3 is 0.6, 0.65, 0.68mm, 0.69mm, 0.7mm, 0.71mm, 0.72mm, 0.73mm, 0.75mm, 0.8 mm, 0.85mm, 0.9mm or 0.95mm, when the inner glass plate 3 is silicon aluminum glass and its thickness is within the above range, the inner glass plate 3 is used to act as a diaphragm, and the electrostatic speaker 4 as a whole is used as a sound source to expand the sound area and improve the sound effect. In addition, with the inner glass plate 3 as the diaphragm, there is no need to drill sound holes 6 on the surface of the inner glass, which improves the overall sealing of the sound-emitting glass, is more suitable for use in a humid climate environment, and extends the service life of the electrostatic speaker 4.

[0042] In some embodiments, the sound-emitting glass also includes a second adhesive layer 5 sandwiched between the inner glass plate 3 and the first adhesive layer 2. Since the electrostatic speaker 4 is embedded in the first adhesive layer 2, the bonding area between the first adhesive layer 2 and the inner glass plate 3 is reduced, which affects the connection strength between the inner glass plate 3 and the first adhesive layer 2, and further affects the connection strength between the inner glass plate 3 and the outer glass plate 1. The provision of the second adhesive layer 5 can improve the connection strength between the inner glass plate 3 and the first adhesive layer 2.

[0043] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second adhesive layer 5 is 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the second adhesive layer 5 is 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.36 mm, 0.37 mm, 0.38 mm, 0.39 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.45 mm or 0.48 mm.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the outer glass plate 1 and the inner glass plate 3 are both semi-tempered glass, a sound-permeable hole 6 is provided on the layered structure formed by the inner glass plate 3 and the second adhesive layer 5; in the thickness direction of the sound-emitting glass, the projection area of ​​the sound-permeable hole 6 is located on the first electrode 41 of the electrostatic speaker 4, so that the performance layer 42 vibrates and the generated sound is transmitted into the vehicle through the sound-permeable hole 6.

[0045] In some embodiments, a protective cover 7 is provided on one side of the sound-transmitting hole 6 away from the outer glass plate 1 . The protective cover 7 is used to protect the electrostatic speaker 4 .

[0046] In some embodiments, a sound insulation layer 8 is sandwiched between the outer glass plate 1 and the first adhesive layer 2 to block the sound generated by the electrostatic speaker 4 from propagating to the outside, thereby improving the sound insulation performance of the vehicle.

[0047] In some embodiments, the thickness of the sound insulation layer 8 is 0.5 mm to 1 mm. If the sound insulation layer 8 is too thin, it cannot play a good sound insulation role. If the sound insulation layer 8 is too thick, the thickness and weight of the whole sound-emitting glass will increase. Therefore, the sound insulation layer 8 within the above thickness range can ensure the sound insulation performance and make the thickness of the sound-emitting glass thinner. Preferably, the material of the sound insulation layer 8 is PVB, and its thickness is 0.55 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.74 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.76 mm, 0.77 mm, 0.78 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.85 mm, 0.9 mm or 0.95 mm.

[0048] In some embodiments, the area on the laminated glass 10 connected to the electrostatic speaker 4 is coated with a masking layer 9 for shielding the electrostatic speaker 4 on the outer surface of the glass, thereby improving the aesthetics and replacing the traditional vehicle-mounted speaker.
