[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Embodiment 1 of this utility model is: a sound generating unit, comprising a chassis 1, a magnetic circuit assembly 2, a skeleton 3, a voice coil 4, a diaphragm 5, a dome 6 and a shaping support piece 7. An air outlet hole 11 is provided on the side wall of the chassis 1. The magnetic circuit assembly 2 is arranged inside the chassis 1. The magnetic circuit assembly 2 includes a yoke 21, a boss 22, a central magnetic structure 23 and a side magnetic structure 24 respectively arranged on the yoke 21. The side magnetic structure 24 is connected to the chassis 1. The side magnetic structure 24 is integrally in a continuous ring shape. The side magnetic structure 24 is arranged around the central magnetic structure 23. A magnetic gap is formed between the side magnetic structure 24 and the central magnetic structure 23. An air vent groove 25 communicating the air outlet hole 11 with the magnetic gap is provided at the interface between the side magnetic structure 24 and the yoke 21. In this embodiment, the central magnetic structure 23 is integrally in a ring shape. The boss 22 is located in the hollow area of the central magnetic structure 23. A conductive member is provided on the boss 22. One end of the conductive member is exposed at the bottom surface of the yoke 21 to be electrically connected to an external power supply; the boss 22 and the yoke 21 can be either an integral structure formed by one-piece processing or a split structure fixedly connected by gluing, hot melting or other means;

[0041] The skeleton 3 includes a body 31. A window is provided in the central area of the body 31. Support arms 32 bent downward are respectively provided on opposite sides of the window; 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;

[0042] The diaphragm 5 includes an inner fixing portion 51, a surround portion 52, and an outer fixing portion 53 that are connected in sequence from the inside out. The inner fixing portion 51 is in a ring frame shape and is connected to the main body 31. The inner fixing portion 51 surrounds the main body 31 to achieve a sealed connection with the main body 31. The outer fixing portion 53 is connected to the chassis 1;

[0043] The shaping support piece 7 includes an inner mounting portion 71, a cantilever portion 72, and an outer mounting portion 73 that are connected in sequence. The inner mounting portion 71 is fixed on the boss 22. The support arm 32 is fixedly connected to the outer mounting portion 73. The voice coil 4 is electrically connected to the conductive member through the shaping support piece 7.

[0044] Due to the low magnetic utilization rate in the middle region of the central magnetic structure 23, the central magnetic structure 23 is set in a ring frame shape, and a boss 22 for mounting the conductive member and supporting the shaping support piece 7 is provided in the center of the central magnetic structure 23, so that the central space inside the sounding unit is fully utilized. Moreover, there is no need to provide an avoidance structure for avoiding the lead of the voice coil 4 on the edge magnetic structure 24, so that the overall volume of the edge magnetic structure 24 can be set larger, thereby enabling the performance of the sounding unit to be improved to a greater extent.

[0045] At least a part of the dome 6 is received in the pressing groove. With the assistance of the pressing groove, the dome 6 can be easily positioned and installed. To make the whole sounding unit thinner and lighter, it is preferred that the top surface of the dome 6 is lower than or flush with the top surface of the main 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 main body 31.

[0046] An air cavity 26 is provided on the outer side of the edge magnetic structure 24. The ventilation groove 25 communicates with the air outlet hole 11 through the air cavity 26. The setting of the air cavity 26 can improve the smoothness of the interaction between the air inside the sounding unit and the external atmosphere.

[0047] In an embodiment, the air cavity 26 is located on the long side or the short side of the edge magnetic structure 24. In this embodiment, the air cavity 26 is located at the corner of the edge magnetic structure 24. Since the magnetic utilization rate in the corner region of the edge magnetic structure 24 is low, arranging the air cavity 26 at the corner of the edge magnetic structure 24 can more greatly reduce the influence of the air cavity 26 on the magnetic field of the sounding unit.

[0048] Optionally, to further improve the smoothness of air flow interaction, the air cavity 26 communicates with the top surface of the edge magnetic structure 24. The edge magnetic structure 24 includes an edge magnet 241 and an edge washer 242. The bottom of the edge magnet 241 is connected to the yoke 21, and the top of the edge magnet 241 is connected to the edge washer 242. The air cavity 26 is provided outside the edge magnet 241. The fact that the air cavity 26 communicates with the top surface of the edge magnetic structure 24 means that the air cavity 26 can communicate with the top surface of the edge washer 242. In an actual product, it is also possible that the air cavity 26 does not communicate with the top surface of the edge washer 242, and it can be specifically selected and set according to needs.

[0049] To prevent foreign objects from entering the inside of the sound generating unit, a breathable mesh cloth 12 is provided on the speaker frame 1. The breathable mesh cloth 12 is provided at the air outlet hole 11 to cover the air outlet hole 11. The mesh cloth 12 is a woven mesh or a metal mesh.

[0050] In one embodiment, all areas of the ventilation groove 25 are located on the edge magnetic structure 24. However, in this embodiment, all areas of the ventilation groove 25 are located on the yoke 21.

[0051] Specifically, the outer mounting portion 73 includes a first plate portion 731, a heightening portion 732, and a second plate portion 733 that are connected in sequence. The first plate portion 731 and the second plate portion 733 are respectively perpendicular to the heightening portion 732. The first plate portion 731 and the second plate portion 733 are located on opposite sides of the heightening portion 732. The first plate portion 731 is fixed on the main body 31. The support arm 32 is fixedly connected to the second plate portion 733. The second plate portion 733 is connected to the cantilever portion 72. A first solder pad for soldering the lead of the voice coil 4 is provided on the first plate portion 731. A second solder pad electrically conductive with the first solder pad is provided on the inner mounting portion 71. The second solder pad is electrically connected to the conductive member.

[0052] The skeleton 3 is made of a material with low density, such as aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloy, magnesium-aluminum alloy and other materials, so as to minimize the increase in the weight of the vibration system and reduce the impact on the performance sensitivity of the sound generating unit.

[0053] Optionally, to improve the rigidity of the support arm 32 and enable the support arm 32 to play a better supporting role, the support arm 32 is provided with stamping ribs 321.

[0054] To make the overall height of the sound generating unit lower, the outer edge of the main body 31 has a crimping edge 311, and the inner edge of the inner fixing portion 51 is located within the crimping edge 311 and fixedly connected to the crimping edge 311. Optionally, the inner edge of the inner fixing portion 51 is adhesively connected to the main body 31. Additionally, the setting of the crimping edge 311 can enhance the rigidity of the skeleton 3 itself, thereby improving the rigidity of the vibration system of the sound generating unit.

[0055] A pressing groove is provided in the central region of the main 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.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Embodiment 2 of the present utility model is an alternative technical solution to Embodiment 1. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the ventilation groove 25 includes a first part provided on the yoke 21 and a second part provided on the edge magnetic structure 24.
