Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of loudspeakers, in particular to a loudspeaker with an FPC patch type connection structure. Background Art

[0002] Most existing electronic devices often require speakers to achieve audio output. The speakers need to be electrically connected to the device motherboard so that they can convert analog signals into sound wave signals for playback under the control of the motherboard control module. Therefore, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the speakers and the device motherboard is key to the device speaker playback effect.

[0003] As electronic devices become increasingly smaller and more compact, motherboard dimensions are severely constrained. The density of electronic components on motherboards is also increasing, leaving less space for external components to connect to the motherboard. This, in turn, impacts the design of the speaker-motherboard connection. Furthermore, the speaker itself, comprised of components such as coils and magnets, can interfere with the motherboard or radio frequency signals due to electromagnetic induction during playback. Consequently, in most existing electronic devices, the speaker is positioned as far away from the motherboard as possible. However, limited motherboard space and the distance between the speaker and motherboard necessitate a complex connection design to ensure reliable and interference-free connections. To reduce production costs, some manufacturers simply connect the speaker to the motherboard using flying leads or terminal blocks. This inevitably results in poor connection reliability and inconvenient assembly. Furthermore, the speaker's diaphragm faces the sound outlet, making it susceptible to damage if foreign objects pass through the outlet. Utility Model Content

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a speaker with an FPC patch connection structure, which includes a speaker body 1, a packaging shell, an FPC cable 2 and a patch terminal 3.

[0022] The packaging shell includes a front shell 4 and a rear shell 5. The front shell 4 is provided with a front sound cavity 41. The speaker body 1 is covered at the rear of the front sound cavity 41. Preferably, a step 42 for mounting the speaker body 1 is provided at the rear of the front shell 4 corresponding to the front sound cavity 41. This provides a stable mounting base for the speaker body 1, helps reduce vibration and noise, and also helps ensure a tight seal between the speaker body 1 and the front shell 4 to prevent sound leakage.

[0023] A side sound hole 43 communicating with the front sound cavity 41 is provided on the side wall of the front shell 4. Preferably, the opening of the side sound hole 43 is gradually enlarged to facilitate sound diffusion.

[0024] The rear shell 5 is positioned over the front shell 4 at a position corresponding to the speaker body 1, and the interior space of the rear shell 5 forms a rear sound cavity 51. The rear shell 5 and the front shell 4 are sealed by ultrasonic welding, which has a good connection effect, not only improving the overall strength of the package shell, but also avoiding the problem of seal failure caused by aging or shedding of glue. Preferably, the side walls of the front shell 4 and the surface of the rear shell 5 are covered with foam 6. It has excellent cushioning and shock absorption properties, can effectively absorb and disperse the energy generated by the speaker vibration, and reduce distortion and noise during sound transmission.

[0025] One end of the FPC cable 2 extends into the package housing and connects to the speaker body 1. The other end is provided with the patch terminal 3. A circular through-hole is provided at one end of the FPC cable 2 near the patch terminal 3. The FPC cable 2 extends symmetrically on either side of the circular through-hole. The circular hole reduces the rigidity of the material, making the FPC more flexible when bending. It also reduces stress concentration in the material, reduces the risk of breakage, and extends the FPC's service life. A shielding layer is provided on the surface of the FPC cable 2 to effectively reduce interference.

[0026] The rear housing 5 is provided with a positioning post 52 that presses against the back of the speaker body 1. This enhances the stability of the speaker body 1 and prevents displacement or loosening due to vibration, thereby ensuring sound clarity and stability. A hollow area 44 is provided on the front of the front housing 4 to reduce material usage, lower costs, reduce weight, and facilitate installation.

[0027] For easy installation, a mounting portion 45 is provided on the side wall of the front shell 4, and a mounting hole is provided on the mounting portion 45, so that the front shell 4 can be easily installed on the housing or other components of the electronic device.

[0028] During installation, the patch terminal 3 can be easily connected to the patch terminal socket on the motherboard, and the FPC cable 2 itself has good pressure resistance and flexibility. The FPC cable 2 can be provided with a shielding layer or grounding to enhance the shielding ability of external electrical signals and ensure stable and good electrical signal transmission.

[0029] During use, due to the side sound outlet structure, foreign matter passing through the side sound outlet hole 43 cannot directly damage the diaphragm of the speaker body 1, thereby providing better protection for the speaker body 1. When sounding, the front sound cavity 41 and the rear sound cavity 51 cooperate to further enhance the sound effect.
