Adjacent sound-emitting units can be connected by a flexible connector 2. Since the flexible connector has corresponding elasticity and flexibility, the flexible connector 2 itself can be folded and bent to ensure that adjacent sound-emitting units in the foldable micro-speaker can rotate relative to each other, so that the foldable micro-speaker using the new type can be adapted to foldable screen mobile phones, that is, it can be folded or unfolded together with the foldable screen mobile phone. In addition, it should be noted that in actual application, the first sound-emitting unit 1 is an active sound-emitting unit, the second sound-emitting unit 3 is a passive radiation unit, and the second sound-emitting unit 3 is arranged in the folding area of the foldable screen mobile phone. After the foldable screen mobile phone is unfolded, higher acoustic performance can be obtained through the second sound-emitting unit 3 (such as enhancing and expanding the low-frequency sound from the first sound-emitting unit 1), so that the acoustic performance of the foldable micro-speaker meets the preset requirements. It should be noted that the present invention obtains preset acoustic performance by setting a corresponding second sound unit 3 in the folding area of the mobile phone. Compared with increasing the volume of the corresponding components of the first sound unit 1 (such as the diaphragm), the present invention can save the space occupied by the micro speaker in the mobile phone.

[0030] Furthermore, in the foldable micro-speaker described in the present invention, the first sound-emitting unit 1 is provided with a first connecting portion 12, and the first connecting portion 12 is provided with a first connecting hole 13 extending along the width direction of the foldable micro-speaker; the second sound-emitting unit 3 is provided with a second connecting portion 32, and the second connecting portion 32 is provided with a second connecting hole 33 extending along the width direction of the foldable micro-speaker; wherein the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 33 are coaxially arranged and interconnected.

[0046] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, the first sound unit 1 comprises a first yoke 14, a first frame 15, and a first diaphragm 16. The first yoke 14 is disposed below the first frame 15, and the first diaphragm 16 is disposed above the first frame 15. The first frame 15 is shaped like a rectangular ring with one side missing, similar to a U-shaped structure. The opening of the U-shaped first frame 15 faces the second sound unit 3, and the yoke is shaped like a rectangular plate. It should be noted that since the first diaphragm 16 and the first yoke 14 are disposed above and below the first frame 15, respectively, the first yoke 14, the first frame 15, and the first diaphragm 16 together form a first cavity 11. Within this first cavity 11, a voice coil 17, a magnet 18, and a washer 19 are disposed. The voice coil 17 is connected to the first diaphragm 16 and is located vertically above the first yoke 14. There is a certain vertical distance between the voice coil 17 and the first yoke 14. The magnetic steel 18 is disposed on the first yoke 14, and at least a portion of the magnetic steel 18 extends into the area formed by the voice coil 17. The washer 19 is disposed on the magnetic steel 18 and is located in the area formed by the voice coil 17.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second sound-emitting unit 3 is a passive radiation unit (also called a passive radiator or a passive speaker), that is, the second sound-emitting unit 3 is passively radiated by the two first sound-emitting units 1, and can be understood as a false speaker. The second sound-emitting unit 3 includes a second yoke 34, a second basin 35, and a second diaphragm 36, wherein the second diaphragm 36 is arranged above the second basin 35, and the second yoke 34 is arranged below the second basin 35, and the second yoke 34, the second basin 35 and the second diaphragm 36 are combined to form a second cavity 31. It should be noted that the second basin 35 is composed of two parallel basin plates, and there is a certain distance between the two basin plates.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 7As shown, the shape and structure of the flexible connector 2 is similar to a hollow rectangular parallelepiped structure, that is, a through cavity 21 is provided in the flexible connector 2, which runs through the flexible connector 2. The through cavity 21 extends along the horizontal width direction of the flexible connector 2. The through cavity 21 is located between the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 31, and connects the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 31. A third connection hole 22 is provided on both sides of the flexible connector 2 extending in the vertical height direction. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a first connecting portion 12 is provided on each of the two side edges extending in the horizontal length direction of the foldable micro-speaker on the first frame 15. The first connecting portion 12 extends toward the second sound unit 3 and is provided with a circular first connecting hole 13. Similarly, a second connecting portion 32 is provided at both ends of each frame plate of the second frame 35. The second connecting portion 32 extends toward the adjacent first sound unit 1 and is provided with a circular second connecting hole 33. It should be noted that the first connecting hole 13, the second connecting hole 33, and the third connecting hole 22 have the same radius, and the first connecting hole 13, the second connecting hole 33, and the third connecting hole 22 are interconnected and coaxially arranged. The third connecting block is located on the inner side of the first connecting hole 13, and the second connecting hole 33 is located on the outer layer of the first connecting hole 13. In practice, the rotating shaft 4 is disposed in the first connecting hole 13, the second connecting hole 33, and the third connecting hole 22. That is, the rotating shaft 4 sequentially passes through the second connecting hole 33, the first connecting hole 13, and the third connecting hole 22, thereby connecting the second connecting portion 32, the first connecting portion 12, and the flexible connector 2, so that the corresponding components can rotate relative to each other. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are a total of four rotating shafts, each of which is cylindrical in shape and extends along the horizontal width of the first sound unit / flexible connector.

[0049] In addition, the flexible connector 2 is made of a material with elasticity and flexibility, such as silicone. Figure 7 As shown, two protrusions 23 are provided at both ends of the flexible connector 2, and the protrusions 23 are provided with a bayonet 24, which is stepped. Correspondingly, at least a portion of the first side of the first basin frame 15 extending in the horizontal length direction is adapted to fit the shape of the stepped bayonet 24. Figure 7As shown, the partial cross-section of the first side near one end of the second sound-emitting unit 3 is stepped. Similarly, in the second sound-emitting unit 3, the partial cross-section of the basin frame plate is also stepped. Each end of the flexible connector 2 is provided with two stepped bayonet holes 24, one of which conflicts with the first side, and the other bayonet hole 24 conflicts with the basin frame plate.
