Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sound box air ducts, in particular to a barrier structure for an inverted tube. Background Art

[0002] Speaker ducts (also known as bass reflex ducts) are components made of plastic or paper. Their function is to enhance bass in musical instruments and sound systems. Ducts produce sound by vibrating and compressing different airflows, thereby helping to improve audio output efficiency. For example, with the same enclosure and the same electronic power, a speaker equipped with ducts can achieve an acoustic output power increase of more than double, significantly improving energy conservation and emission reduction, which is in line with market developments.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN218830583U discloses a bass reflex pipe structure and a speaker, comprising: a bass reflex pipe and a center pipe.

One end of the center pipe is connected to the bass reflex pipe, and a protective net is provided in the gap between the center pipe and the bass reflex pipe to prevent foreign matter from entering.

[0004] However, during the actual research and development process, the inventors discovered that using a protective net to prevent foreign matter from entering the speaker through the bass reflex port is inexpensive and easy to install. However, the multiple holes in the net can cause acoustic noise when air flows through the holes. The dynamic flow of the air duct also generates significant wind noise on the iron net, which can easily distort the audio signal output.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 5 The barrier structure 20 for the inverted tube 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described. The barrier structure 20 for the inverted tube 10 includes: the inverted tube 10 and the barrier structure 20.

[0039] The bass reflex tube 10 is provided with a first sound cavity 11, which extends along a first direction x1 and passes through the two free ends of the bass reflex tube 10 to form a first sound inlet 12 and a first sound outlet 13; a blocking structure 20 is provided in the first sound cavity 11, and the blocking structure 20 includes a plurality of blocking plates 21, which are arranged in sequence at intervals along a second direction x2, and the second direction x2 extends in a different direction from the first direction x1.

[0040] Specifically, by setting up multiple baffles 21, and the multiple baffles 21 are set at intervals along the second direction x2, and are different from the extension direction of the first direction x1 of the first sound cavity 11; with such a structure, the baffles 21 set at intervals can reduce the acoustic noise and wind noise caused by the passage of airflow while preventing foreign objects from entering the interior of the speaker from the first sound cavity 11, and effectively solve the technical defect of the traditional technology that the protective net structure is prone to cause acoustic noise and audio signal distortion.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the first sound cavity 11 extends along a first direction x1 to form an arc-shaped cavity. When the bass reflex tube 10 is installed in the speaker, the first sound outlet 13 is higher than the first sound inlet 12. The first sound inlet 12 is vertically disposed, and each baffle 21 extends vertically. The angle between the second direction x2 and the first sound inlet 12 is between 65 and 85 degrees.

[0042] See IPX waterproof rating standard (0-8)

[0043] The international industrial waterproof grade standard IPx and the Japanese industrial waterproof standard JS grade are consistent, and are divided into 9 levels from 0 to 8.

[0044] Level 0 no protection

[0045] Level 1: Eliminates the harmful effects of falling water drops

[0046] Level 2 provides protection against water drops falling within 15 degrees from the vertical direction

[0047] Level 3 can eliminate the harmful effects of spray droplets at 60 degrees from vertical

[0048] Level 4 eliminates the harmful effects of water splashing from different directions

[0049] Level 5 can eliminate harmful effects on the nozzle water flow in all directions

[0050] Level 6 can eliminate the harmful effects of strong water jets from nozzles in all directions

[0051] The top of level 7 is 0.15-1 meter away from the water surface for 30 minutes without any impact on performance or leakage.

[0052] The top of the 8th level is 1.5-30 meters away from the water surface for 60 minutes without any impact on performance or leakage.

[0053] As can be seen, when multiple first baffles 21 are spaced apart along the second direction x2, the angle between the second direction x2 and the first sound inlet 12 is defined as first angle a1, and the value of first angle a1 is 70 degrees. Combined with the vertically arranged first sound inlet 12, the structure can achieve a waterproof rating of Level 4 when tested. Furthermore, the spacing of multiple baffles 21 is less prone to clogging than conventional structures using protective nets, further reducing the risk of acoustic noise. It also reduces wind noise generated when the audio airflow passes through the protective net, preventing audio signal distortion.

[0054] More specifically, the thickness of the plurality of baffles 21 is the same, and the distance between each two baffles 21 is at least three times the thickness of the baffles 21. This structure can effectively prevent foreign matter from entering the speaker through the first sound cavity 11 in a finger-blocking test.

[0055] In other embodiments of the present application, a plurality of arcuate protrusions 14 are provided on the surface of the first sound cavity 11. The plurality of arcuate protrusions 14 are sequentially spaced along the first direction x1, with an arcuate groove 15 formed between every two arcuate protrusions 14. A baffle plate 21 is provided near one side of the first sound outlet 13, with the plurality of arcuate protrusions 14 located between the first sound outlet 13 and the baffle plate 21.

[0056] Specifically, the curved protrusion 14 and the curved groove not only prevent water from flowing directly into the speaker through the first sound cavity 11, but also reduce the wind resistance during the output of the audio airflow by utilizing the wave-like structure of the curved protrusion 14 and the curved groove. This further improves safety requirements and waterproof performance, while effectively amplifying acoustic power.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the bass reflex tube 10 includes a first shell 101 and a second shell 102 arranged on the left and right. The first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are assembled together and enclose a first sound cavity 11; the sides of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 facing the first sound cavity 11 are provided with multiple baffles 21, and each baffle 21 extends toward the center of the first sound cavity 11; the arc-shaped protrusions 14 are respectively protruded on the sides of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 facing the first sound cavity 11.

[0058] Specifically, the first shell 101 is provided with a first assembly portion 103, and the second shell 102 is provided with a second assembly portion 104; one of the first assembly portion 103 and the second assembly portion 104 is provided with a first assembly ridge 105, and the other is provided with a first assembly groove 106; when the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are assembled together, the first assembly portion 103 and the second assembly portion 104 abut against each other and the first assembly ridge 105 is inserted into the first assembly groove 106.

[0059] Next, the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 have a first positioning post 107 on one side and a first positioning hole 108 on the other side. When the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are assembled together, the first positioning post 107 is inserted into the first positioning hole 108 .

[0060] It can be understood that most of the structures of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are the same. The difference is that the first assembly protrusion 105 and the first assembly groove 106, the first positioning column 107 and the first positioning hole 108 need to be respectively provided in the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 according to the actual assembly method; as long as it can be achieved, after the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are assembled, the first assembly protrusion is inserted into the first assembly groove 106, and the first positioning column 107 is inserted into the first positioning hole 108.

[0061] It should be noted here that the length of the first positioning column 107 needs to be greater than the length of the first assembly protrusion, so that the first positioning column 107 can be inserted into the first positioning hole 108 in advance to complete the positioning of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102, and then continue to assemble the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 so that the first assembly protrusion is inserted into the first assembly groove 106 to complete the assembly.

[0062] Meanwhile, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 can be assembled by interference fit, screw fastening, glue bonding, ultrasonic welding, etc.

[0063] In more detail, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are provided with a first assembly notch 109 at the first sound inlet 12, and the first assembly notch 109 is used to install a sealing strip; when the bass reflex tube 10 is installed in the speaker, the sealing strip can be against the surface of the speaker.

[0064] It should be noted that when the bass reflex tube 10 is installed inside the speaker by fastening with screws, corresponding screw holes and other structures need to be provided on the outer surfaces of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 for screw locking. This is a conventional design method for those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0065] The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and only specifically describes the technical principles of the present invention. These descriptions are intended only to explain the principles of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, as well as other specific embodiments of the present invention that can be imagined by those skilled in the art without inventive effort, shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
