Opposite sides of the window respectively have support arms 32 bent downward; the voice coil 4 is connected to the body 31 and is arranged corresponding to the magnetic gap. The dome 6 is arranged on the body 31 and covers the window to close the window. The dome 6 has a convex bulge 61, and the convex bulge 61 is located in the window;

[0046] The diaphragm 5 includes an inner fixing part 51, a folding ring part 52 and an outer fixing part 53 connected in sequence from inside to outside. The inner fixing part 51 is in a ring frame shape and is connected to the body 31. The inner fixing part 51 surrounds the body 31 to achieve a sealed connection with the body 31. The outer fixing part 53 is connected to the chassis 1;

[0047] The shaping support piece 7 includes an inner mounting part 71, a cantilever part 72 and an outer mounting part 73 connected in sequence. The inner mounting part 71 is fixed on the boss 22. The support arm 32 is fixedly connected to the outer mounting part 73. The voice coil 4 is electrically connected to the conductive member 8 through the shaping support piece 7.

[0048] Specifically, the outer mounting part 73 includes a first plate part 731, a heightening part 732 and a second plate part 733 connected in sequence. The first plate part 731 and the second plate part 733 are respectively perpendicular to the heightening part 732. The first plate part 731 and the second plate part 733 are located on different sides of the heightening part 732. The first plate part 731 is fixed on the body 31. The support arm 32 is fixedly connected to the second plate part 733. The second plate part 733 is connected to the cantilever part 72. A first solder pad for welding the lead of the voice coil 4 is provided on the first plate part 731. A second solder pad electrically conducting with the first solder pad is provided on the inner mounting part 71. The second solder pad is electrically connected to the conductive member 8.

[0049] For the convenience of processing and manufacturing, the body 31 and the support arm 32 are integrally formed as an integral structure. The skeleton 3 is made of a material with low density, such as aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloy, magnesium-aluminum alloy, etc., so as to minimize the increase in the weight of the vibration system and reduce the influence on the performance sensitivity of the sound generating unit. Similarly, the dome 6 is also made of a material with low density, such as aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloy, magnesium-aluminum alloy, etc.

[0050] To improve the rigidity of the support arm 32 and enable the support arm 32 to play a better supporting role, optionally, the support arm 32 is provided with stamping ribs 321.

[0051] To make the overall height of the sound generating unit lower, the outer edge of the body 31 has a bead 311, and the inner edge of the inner fixing portion 51 is located within the bead 311 and is fixedly connected to the bead 311. Optionally, the inner edge of the inner fixing portion 51 is adhesively connected to the body 31. In addition, the setting of the bead 311 can enhance the rigidity of the skeleton 3 itself, thereby improving the rigidity of the vibration system of the sound generating unit.

[0052] A pressing groove is provided in the central region of the body 31, and the window is located at the bottom of the pressing groove. The setting of the pressing groove can also improve the rigidity of the skeleton 3 itself.

[0053] At least a part of the outer edge of the dome 6 is received in the pressing groove. With the assistance of the pressing groove, the dome 6 can be conveniently positioned and installed. To make the overall sound generating unit thinner and lighter, preferably, the top surface of the dome 6 is lower than or flush with the top surface of the body 31. In an actual product, it is also acceptable that the top surface of the dome 6 is higher than the top surface of the body 31.

[0054] The pressing groove in the sound generating unit corresponds to the hollow region of the central magnetic structure 23. Correspondingly, the convex bump 61 also corresponds to the hollow region of the central magnetic structure 23. When looking down at the sound generating unit, the pressing groove is located within the hollow region of the central magnetic structure 23. Therefore, during the operation of the sound generating unit, the convex bump 61 and the skeleton 3 will not collide with other components, and will not increase the overall thickness of the sound generating unit.

[0055] In this embodiment, the number of the convex bumps 61 is one. Providing one large-area convex bump 61 can effectively improve the structural strength of the dome 6, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the vibration system of the sound generating unit.

[0056] Optionally, the dome 6 is a single-layer structure. At this time, the convex bump 61 on the dome 6 can be either an extrusion structure formed by extrusion or a subtractive structure formed by peripheral material removal. The specific processing means can be selected as needed.

[0057] Embodiment Two

[0058] Please refer to Figure 5 , Embodiment 2 of the present utility model is an alternative technical solution to Embodiment 1. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the number of convex hulls 61 is multiple.

[0059] In this embodiment, the spherical dome 6 has two convex hulls 61, and the two convex hulls 61 are spaced apart. The spherical dome 6 having multiple convex hulls 61 spaced apart reduces the overall weight of the spherical dome 6 while ensuring sufficient structural strength, thereby enabling the sound generating unit to have better performance.

[0060] Embodiment 3

[0061] Please refer to Figure 6 , Embodiment 3 of the present utility model is an alternative technical solution to Embodiment 1. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the spherical dome 6 is a multi-layer structure.

[0062] In this embodiment, the convex hull 61 on the spherical dome 6 is an extrusion structure formed by extrusion. By extruding the edge of the spherical dome 6, the convex hull 61 is formed on the spherical dome 6.

[0063] Embodiment 4

[0064] Please refer to Figure 7 , Embodiment 4 of the present utility model is an alternative technical solution to Embodiment 3. The difference from Embodiment 3 is that the convex hull 61 on the spherical dome 6 is not formed by extrusion.

[0065] Specifically, the spherical dome 6 includes an upper material layer 62, an inner material layer 63, and a lower material layer 64. The top surface of the inner material layer 63 is connected to the upper material layer 62, the bottom surface of the inner material layer 63 is connected to the lower material layer 64. The lower material layer 64 has a recess, and the inner material layer 63 is located within the recess. The edge of the lower material layer 64 is connected to the upper material layer 62.

[0066] In this embodiment, the upper material layer 62, the inner material layer 63, and the lower material layer 64 are each a single-layer structure. In other embodiments, it is acceptable that at least one of the upper material layer 62, the inner material layer 63, and the lower material layer 64 is a multi-layer stacked structure.

[0067] The above are only optional embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
