They are only for the convenience of clearly describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the structure or component referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed in a specific direction.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted subwoofer, including a vehicle-mounted subwoofer housing 1, which includes an upper shell 101 and a lower shell 102, and the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102 form a closed space; a woofer 2 and a passive radiator 3 are provided on the upper shell 101, and the passive radiator 3 can emit sound simultaneously with the vibration of the woofer 2, and a piston device 4 that can move up and down is provided inside the vehicle-mounted subwoofer housing 1; when the internal air pressure of the vehicle-mounted subwoofer housing 1 changes, the piston device 4 will generate vibration in the same direction as the woofer 2, thereby compensating for the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle-mounted subwoofer housing 1 to reduce air pressure resistance. Function: The vehicle subwoofer housing comprises an upper shell and a lower shell, forming a sealed space. The upper shell is equipped with a woofer and a passive radiator, which can produce sound simultaneously with the vibration of the woofer. The interior of the vehicle subwoofer housing is equipped with a piston device that can move up and down. When the internal air pressure of the vehicle subwoofer housing changes, the piston device will vibrate in the same direction as the woofer, thereby compensating for the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle subwoofer housing and reducing air pressure resistance. This increases the vibration displacement of the passive radiator and improves its working efficiency. When the woofer is in operation, the air volume inside the vehicle subwoofer housing is compressed to a greater extent, which drives the passive radiator to move and produce a corresponding low-frequency response with the vehicle subwoofer housing. This can enhance the bass effect of the subwoofer and make the low-frequency dive deeper, making the sound sound solid and powerful, while also reducing the size of the vehicle subwoofer.

[0028] Specifically, the piston device 4 includes a partition 401. When the air pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 changes, the cavities below and above the partition 401 generate a driving force, causing the partition 401 to vibrate in the same direction as the woofer 2. Function: The built-in piston device is composed of a cavity space within the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 and a partition, which effectively separates the upper and lower spaces. When the air pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 changes, the cavities below and above the partition also generate a driving force, causing the partition 401 between the cavities to vibrate in the same direction as the woofer 2, thereby compensating for the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 and reducing air pressure resistance.

[0029] Specifically, the piston device 4 further includes a spring device 402, which is connected to the partition 401 and can provide an upward elastic force to the partition 401. Function: The spring device 402 can provide elastic support to the partition 401.

[0030] Specifically, when the air pressure in the space above partition 401 is at standard atmospheric pressure, partition 401 forms a vertical force balance under the influence of atmospheric pressure, elastic force, and gravity. This function is to create a vertical force balance among atmospheric pressure, elastic force, and gravity when the air pressure in the space above is at standard atmospheric pressure.

[0031] Specifically, two spring devices 402 are provided between the partition 401 and the lower shell 102. The two spring devices 402 are distributed left and right and fixed on the lower shell 102. Function: Adding two left and right spring devices between the partition and the lower shell below makes the partition more balanced.

[0032] Specifically, the passive radiator 3 is in a runway shape, circular, or elliptical. Function: The passive radiator is in a runway shape (the size can be 90.7mm & 73.8mm). Through simulation, it is found that this runway design can effectively reduce resonance. At the same time, the vehicle subwoofer of this design has a longer appearance, and the overall appearance will be more coordinated.

[0033] Specifically, the passive radiator 3 includes a support bracket 301, a suspension assembly 302, and a counterweight 303, which are connected in sequence from the outside to the inside. The covering rubber surface 304 is bonded together with the counterweight 303 and the suspension assembly 302 by glue. The support bracket 301 is connected to the vehicle-mounted subwoofer housing 1, the suspension assembly 302 adopts a concave pattern design, and the counterweight 303 provides vibration mass. Function: The support bracket 301 mainly provides a support system for the entire passive radiator, and is generally composed of metal materials such as aluminum alloy and iron. The suspension assembly 302 is generally made of rubber. The suspension assembly of this solution adopts a concave pattern design to enhance the mechanical strength and reduce segmented movement under large displacement. The counterweight 303 (preferably composed of galvanized aluminum plate) provides vibration mass for the passive radiator. The covering rubber surface 304 is bonded together with the counterweight 303 and the suspension assembly 302 by glue, making the overall appearance more beautiful while also increasing the wear resistance.

[0034] In embodiment 1, two passive radiators 3 are provided on the upper shell 101, and the two passive radiators 3 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the woofer 2. Function: With the arrangement of the two passive radiators 3, the low-frequency resonance frequency of the vehicle-mounted subwoofer is lower, and the low-frequency dive will be greater, so that the bass effect will be stronger. Therefore, this solution adopts the method of adding two runway-type passive radiators with damping characteristic suspension components to the shell of the traditional vehicle-mounted subwoofer, and adding a piston device supported by two springs and a partition inside the shell of the vehicle-mounted subwoofer. The whole system forms a set of methods that utilize the internal and external air pressure difference and the expansion of the vibration area to enhance the vibration amplitude of the woofer, thereby enhancing the bass resonance effect, thereby enhancing the bass effect of the vehicle-mounted subwoofer, making the listening experience more shocking and powerful, and reducing the volume of the vehicle-mounted subwoofer, reducing the weight of the vehicle body, and improving the space utilization rate of the vehicle.

[0035] In Example 2, two passive radiators 3 are installed on the side walls of the vehicle subwoofer housing 1, one on each of the left and right sides. The woofer 2 is a dual-voice-coil, 2Ω woofer. Function: The four passive radiators 3 further lower the low-frequency resonance frequency of the vehicle subwoofer. Preferably, the woofer 2 is an 8-inch woofer.

[0036] Specifically, the upper shell 101 and lower shell 102 are made of plastic, respectively, and are ultrasonically welded together to form a sealed space. Function: The vehicle subwoofer housing 1 is composed of an upper shell and a lower shell made of plastic. The upper and lower shells are ultrasonically welded together to form a sealed space that cannot be leaked.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the vehicle-mounted subwoofer of this solution is a passive device with no electronic components in its internal space and only one connector interface that can be connected to an amplifier product.

[0038] During actual operation: when the woofer 2 and the passive radiator 3 vibrate inside and outside, the air pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 will change. Because the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 is a fully enclosed rigid cavity, the air pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 will increase when the woofer 2 vibrates inward, and the air pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 will decrease when it vibrates outward, thereby forming an air pressure difference between the inside and outside, generating a force that hinders the vibration of the woofer 2.

[0039] When the air pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 changes, the cavity below the partition and the cavity above the partition will also generate a driving force, causing the partition 401 between the cavities to vibrate in the same direction as the woofer 2, thereby compensating for the air pressure difference inside and outside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 and reducing the air pressure resistance.

[0040] In this way, the vibration displacement of the passive radiator 3 of the car subwoofer can be increased to improve the working efficiency. When the woofer is working, the air volume in the car subwoofer shell is compressed and changed more, thereby driving the passive radiator to move and produce a corresponding low-frequency response with the car subwoofer shell, which can increase the bass effect of the subwoofer and make the low-frequency dive deeper. The sound will appear solid and powerful, and the volume of the car subwoofer can be reduced.

[0041] In order to better understand the present invention, the specific power-to-sound conversion principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0042] When a sine wave signal is applied to the vehicle subwoofer, the present invention first receives a positive half-cycle signal, causing the diaphragm of the woofer 2 to move outward. This movement causes the air inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 to expand, reducing the pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 and causing the passive radiator to move toward the interior of the vehicle subwoofer housing 1. When the sine wave signal transitions to a negative half-cycle, the diaphragm of the woofer 2 moves inward, compressing the air inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1. This causes the pressure inside the vehicle subwoofer housing 1 to rise, causing the passive radiator to move toward the exterior of the vehicle subwoofer housing 1. This allows the passive radiator to produce sound simultaneously with the vibration of the woofer 2. Therefore, the design of a passive radiating speaker subwoofer must be completely sealed, without any air leaks, otherwise the air inside the cavity will not be able to effectively drive the passive radiator.

[0043] In summary: a) Compared with traditional car subwoofers, the car bass enhancement system of this solution can make the amplitude of the subwoofer itself larger at the same power, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire subwoofer system to achieve enhanced bass effect.

[0044] b) This solution uses a method to balance the air pressure difference inside and outside the subwoofer box, which can effectively reduce the resonance of the vehicle subwoofer shell 1 and reduce the cutting vibration of the passive radiator. This can reduce the distortion of the vehicle subwoofer and make the sound clearer and cleaner.

[0045] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
