Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroacoustic converter technology, and in particular to a sound generating unit. Background Technology

[0002] A sound-generating unit is an acoustic product that converts electrical signals into sound signals. Currently, many electronic products have high waterproof requirements, such as smartwatches and wristbands, which necessitates conducting diving tests on the sound-generating unit.

[0003] During the underwater test, the central part of the diaphragm assembly is squeezed by the water pressure and adheres to the central magnetic structure. At the same time, the air inside the sound unit is expelled. After the air is expelled, the planar central part is subjected to negative pressure, forming a suction cup effect that tightly adheres to the central magnetic structure. After the sound unit is removed from the water, the water pressure disappears, but due to the existence of the suction cup effect, the central part of the diaphragm assembly cannot rebound, which will cause the sound unit to fail. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sound-generating unit that solves the technical problem that the central part of the diaphragm assembly is easily attracted to the central magnetic structure, causing the sound-generating unit to fail.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a sound-generating unit, comprising:

[0006] A diaphragm assembly, the diaphragm assembly including a central portion, the bottom surface of the central portion having a plurality of protrusions;

[0007] A magnetic circuit assembly, comprising a yoke and a central magnetic structure disposed on the yoke, the central magnetic structure being located below the central portion.

[0008] In one embodiment, the number of protrusions is one, and the protrusion is arranged in a strip shape along the central axis of the length direction of the central portion; or, the protrusion is arranged in a strip shape along the central axis of the width direction of the central portion; or, the protrusion is arranged corresponding to the central region of the central portion.

[0009] In one embodiment, the number of protrusions is multiple.

[0010] In one embodiment, the number of protrusions is even, and the even number of protrusions are divided into two symmetrically arranged groups.

[0011] In one embodiment, the number of protrusions is odd, with one of the protrusions corresponding to the central region of the central portion, and the remaining protrusions divided into two symmetrically arranged groups.

[0012] In one embodiment, the number of protrusions is five, with one protrusion corresponding to the central region of the central portion and the remaining four protrusions respectively located near the four corners of the central portion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the protrusion is columnar.

[0014] In one embodiment, the protrusion is cylindrical, elliptical, or prismatic.

[0015] In one embodiment, the diaphragm assembly includes a diaphragm and a dome. The diaphragm includes an inner fixing portion, a folded ring portion, and an outer fixing portion connected sequentially from the inside to the outside. The inner fixing portion is disposed along the edge of the dome and together with the dome forms the central portion. The protrusion is disposed on the dome.

[0016] In one embodiment, the top surface of the dome has a groove corresponding to the protrusion.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The sound-generating unit has a novel structure. During underwater testing, when the central part of the diaphragm assembly is pressed against the central magnetic structure by water pressure, only the protruding lower end face contacts the top surface of the central magnetic structure, while the other parts of the central part remain suspended. Therefore, negative pressure is not generated, preventing the central part from adhering to the central magnetic structure and thus avoiding the problem of the sound-generating unit failing due to the central part of the diaphragm assembly being unable to rebound. This sound-generating unit can be obtained by modifying existing sound-generating units, making it easy to promote and apply. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a sound-generating unit, including a frame 1, a voice coil 2, a diaphragm assembly 3, and a magnetic circuit assembly 4. The diaphragm assembly 3 includes an outer edge portion 31, a deformation portion 32, and a central portion 33 connected sequentially from the outside to the inside. The outer edge portion 31 is connected to the frame 1, and the central portion 33 is connected to the voice coil 2. The bottom surface of the central portion 33 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 351. The magnetic circuit assembly 4 includes a yoke 41 and a central magnetic structure 42 and a side magnetic structure 43 respectively disposed on the yoke 41. The yoke 41 and / or the side magnetic structure 43 are connected to the frame 1. A magnetic gap is formed between the side magnetic structure 43 and the central magnetic structure 42 for the voice coil 2 to move. The central magnetic structure 42 is located below the central portion 33. When the central portion 33 is subjected to pressure toward the yoke 41, only a small area of ​​the top surface of the central magnetic structure 42 contacts the lower end face of the protrusion 351, and most of the top surface of the central magnetic structure 42 does not contact the bottom surface of the central portion 33.

[0037] In this embodiment, the diaphragm assembly 3 includes a diaphragm 34 and a dome 35. The diaphragm 34 includes an inner fixing part, a folded ring part, and an outer fixing part connected sequentially from the inside to the outside. The folded ring part is the aforementioned deformable part 32, and the outer fixing part is the aforementioned outer edge part 31. The inner fixing part is disposed along the edge of the dome 35 and together with the dome 35 forms the central part 33. The protrusion 351 is disposed on the dome 35. When the central part 33 is subjected to pressure toward the yoke 41, the lower end face of the protrusion 351 contacts the top surface of the central magnetic structure 42. Optionally, the protrusion 351 and the dome 35 are integrally formed structures. In other embodiments, the protrusion 351 and the dome 35 can also be separate structures. In this case, the protrusion 351 and the dome 35 are glued, welded, heat-fused, or connected by other means. The material of the protrusion 351 includes, but is not limited to, metal and plastic.

[0038] In other embodiments, the diaphragm assembly 3 may not have the dome 35, in which case the inner fixing part is the aforementioned central part 33.

[0039] The central magnetic structure 42 includes a central magnet 421 and a central washer 422 located on the top surface of the central magnet 421. The central magnet 421 connects the central washer 422 and the yoke 41 respectively. When the central part 33 is subjected to pressure toward the yoke 41, only a small part of the top surface of the central washer 422 contacts the lower end face of the protrusion 351.

[0040] The side magnetic structure 43 includes a side magnet 431 and a side washer 432. The side magnet 431 connects the side washer 432 and the side magnet 431. In a specific product, the side washer 432 and / or the side magnet 431 are connected to the basin stand 1.

[0041] Optionally, there may be multiple protrusions 351. In this case, to balance the force on the central part 33, when the number of protrusions 351 is even, the even number of protrusions 351 are arranged symmetrically. Specifically, the even number of protrusions 351 are divided into two symmetrically arranged groups. When the number of protrusions 351 is odd, one of the protrusions 351 is set in the central area of ​​the central part 33, and the remaining protrusions 351 are divided into two symmetrically arranged groups.

[0042] In this embodiment, there are five protrusions 351. One protrusion 351 is located in the central region of the central portion 33, and the remaining four protrusions 351 are located near the four corners of the central portion 33.

[0043] Optionally, the protrusion 351 is columnar, such as cylindrical, elliptical, or prismatic.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 The second embodiment of this utility model is a parallel technical solution to the first embodiment, and the difference between the two is that: the number of protrusions 351 is one, and the protrusions 351 are arranged in a strip shape along the central axis of the length direction of the central portion 33; or, the protrusions 351 are arranged in a strip shape along the central axis of the width direction of the central portion 33; or, the protrusions 351 are arranged corresponding to the central area of ​​the central portion 33.

[0046] In this embodiment, the protrusion 351 is arranged in a strip shape along the central axis of the central portion 33.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 The third embodiment of this utility model is a parallel technical solution to the first embodiment. The difference between the third and the first embodiment is that the top surface of the dome 35 has a groove 352 corresponding to the protrusion 351. The presence of the groove 352 can not only reduce the manufacturing materials of the dome 35 and save the manufacturing cost of the dome 35, but also make the protrusion 351 a stamping structure that can be formed by stamping, so as to facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the protrusion 351. At the same time, it enhances the rigidity of the dome 35 and improves the performance of the sound unit.

[0049] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
