Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of loudspeakers, in particular to a coaxial loudspeaker horn. Background Art

[0002] Existing coaxial speakers feature two speakers mounted on the same axis: a tweeter and a woofer, responsible for producing high and low frequencies, respectively. A speaker horn adds a load (i.e., a horn structure) in front of the speaker unit to redirect sound and enhance its output efficiency. This design allows sound to be more concentrated in a specific direction, while also improving loudness and clarity.

[0003] A line source, also known as a "cylindrical sound source," is a sound source whose dimensions in one direction are significantly greater than those in the other two directions. A line source, whether a linear sound source or a collection of numerous unrelated point sound sources, can be considered a line source if its radiated sound energy is evenly distributed along a cylindrical surface centered on the line source in a free sound field. Due to its unique geometry and radiation pattern, a line source's sound energy is more evenly distributed over a given distance and decays relatively slowly.

[0004] When using existing coaxial speaker horns, acoustic interference is easily generated when multiple horns are superimposed. This is because the sound wave outlet of the horn has a large coverage angle in the vertical direction, resulting in uneven distribution of the sound pressure level of the cylindrical wave of the high-pitched sound source, which will greatly affect the sound quality.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the output sound quality of existing coaxial loudspeaker horns, the present application proposes a coaxial loudspeaker horn that minimizes the acoustic interference between them when multiple horns are stacked and used. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a coaxial loudspeaker horn, which solves the problem that acoustic interference is easily generated when multiple horns are stacked and used.

The middle part of the first side panel converges toward the inside of the outlet and is U-shaped. A phase joint is provided in the bottom shell and the tweeter horn. There is a gap between the inner wall of the outer shell and the outer surface of the phase joint to form an acoustic channel.

[0009] Through the above structure, the treble sound waves propagate from the bottom of the phase joint (hereinafter referred to as the guide joint) through the acoustic channel between the phase joint and the shell to the outlet, thereby realizing the transformation from a point sound source to a line sound source, and forming a plane wave front at the wave front at the outlet, and then forming a cylindrical wave through the diffusion control coverage angle to radiate to the sound field, so that the sound pressure and phase at the outlet are equal everywhere, providing the coaxial speaker with a treble line sound source cylindrical wave and a uniform distribution of sound pressure level in the sound field within the horizontal coverage angle, and also making the sound pressure level of the sound field 1 meter away from the outlet relatively smooth.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a coaxial loudspeaker horn with the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The horn of the coaxial loudspeaker has a treble sound wave that propagates from the bottom of the phase joint through the acoustic channel between the phase joint and the shell to the outlet, thereby realizing the transformation from a point sound source to a line sound source, and forming a plane wave front at the wave front at the outlet, and then forming a cylindrical wave through the diffusion control coverage angle to radiate to the sound field, so that the sound pressure and phase at the outlet are equal everywhere, providing the coaxial loudspeaker with a treble line sound source cylindrical wave and a uniformly distributed sound pressure level in the horizontal coverage angle, and also making the sound pressure level of the sound field 1 meter away from the outlet relatively smooth.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a coaxial loudspeaker horn, comprising a housing 1, the housing 1 comprising a bottom shell 2 with a conical exterior and a treble horn 3 on the top of the bottom shell 2, a rectangular outlet 31 being provided on the top of the treble horn 3, and a bass horn 4 being provided on the periphery of the bottom shell 2;

[0028] The long side of the outlet 31 is connected to the bottom end of the bottom shell 2 through a first side panel 5. The middle portion of the first side panel 5 converges toward the inside of the outlet 31 and is U-shaped. A phase joint 6 is provided in the bottom shell 2 and the tweeter horn 3. There is a gap between the inner wall of the outer shell 1 and the outer surface of the phase joint 6 to form an acoustic channel 7.

[0029] As an optional implementation scheme of the present invention, through the above structure, high-frequency sound waves are transmitted from the bottom of the phase joint 6 (hereinafter referred to as the guide joint 62) from the acoustic channel 7 between the phase joint 6 and the shell 1 to the outlet 31, thereby realizing the transformation from a point sound source to a line sound source, and forming a plane wave front at the wave front at the outlet 31, and then forming a cylindrical wave through the diffusion control coverage angle to radiate to the sound field, so that the sound pressure and phase at the outlet 31 are equal everywhere, providing the coaxial speaker with a high-frequency line sound source cylindrical wave and the sound pressure level of the sound field within the horizontal coverage angle is evenly distributed, and also making the sound pressure level of the sound field one meter away from the outlet 31 relatively smooth.

[0030] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the wide side of the outlet 31 is connected to the bottom end of the bottom shell 2 through the second side plate 8. The top ends of the two second side plates 8 are inclined toward the outside of the outlet 31, and the inclination angle of the second side plates 8 is 0-10 degrees.

[0031] As an optional implementation scheme of the present invention, the vertical coverage angle can be controlled within 10 degrees, so that the adjustable angle of a single speaker is within 10 degrees, to ensure that the acoustic interference between multiple speaker horns is minimized when they are superimposed and used.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the phase connector 6 on the shaft side wall are fixedly connected to the bottom shell 2.

[0033] As an optional implementation scheme of the present invention, the phase connector 6 can be installed in the housing 1 .

[0034] like Figure 3-7 As shown, the housing 1 is divided into two halves in the width direction of the outlet 31 , and the housing 1 is provided with lugs 9 on the outer sides of both ends in the length direction of the outlet 31 , and the lugs 9 are provided with through holes 91 .

[0035] As an optional implementation scheme of the present invention, the shell 1 is designed to be divided into two halves for the convenience of production and molding, and for the convenience of assembly of the shell 1. The two ears 9 can be fixed together by screws passing through the two through holes 91 to achieve the assembly of the entire shell 1.

[0036] like Figure 3-5 As shown, mounting ears 61 that cooperate with the supporting ears 9 are provided at both ends of the axial side wall of the phase joint 6.

[0041] As an optional implementation scheme of the present invention, the bottom of the base 10 is connected to the sound source. After the shell 1 and the base 10 are assembled, the tweeter outlet slot 101 is a cavity. The size of this volume will produce resonance, thereby causing irregularities in the high frequency response. By setting the guide joint 62, the volume of the cavity can be reduced so that its resonant frequency is outside the operating frequency, and the resonance generated by the acoustic channel 7 is reduced, so that the impedance of the entrance plane of the acoustic channel 7 will not have a large mutation, and the echo of the sound wave at the entrance of the acoustic channel 7 is minimized.
