Technical Field
[0001] This manual relates to the field of eyewear technology, and in particular to eyewear with audio playback functionality. Background Technology
[0002] In modern life, glasses with audio playback capabilities are gaining popularity. Especially with the development of AR / VR glasses, functions such as real-time translation, voice assistants, voice interaction, and immersive sound all rely on glasses with audio playback capabilities. However, unlike in-ear or semi-in-ear headphones, the sound-producing mechanism of glasses is usually located far from the ear canal. The farther the sound-producing mechanism is from the ear canal, the greater the attenuation of low frequencies. Therefore, the mid-to-low frequency sound quality of glasses with audio playback capabilities is often unsatisfactory. This is particularly true when enjoying music, where the mid-to-low frequency sound quality is often disappointing.
[0003] To improve the mid-to-low frequency sound of glasses with audio playback capabilities, one could consider increasing the displacement of the diaphragm in the sound-generating device. However, increasing the displacement of the diaphragm means increasing the size of the magnetic circuit components (such as the size along the direction of diaphragm vibration), which would result in an excessively low resonant frequency in the cavity of the sound-generating device, leading to significant sound leakage.
[0004] Therefore, how to ensure the mid-to-low frequency sound quality of glasses while reducing sound leakage is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0048] Figure 1 These are schematic diagrams of the eyeglasses according to some embodiments shown in this specification. Figure 2A This is a schematic diagram of the temple and sound-generating device 10 according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 1 and Figure 2A As shown in the embodiment of this specification, a pair of glasses 1 with audio playback function is provided. The glasses 1 includes a sound-generating device 10, temples 20, and a frame 30. The sound-generating device 10 includes a diaphragm 110 and a magnetic circuit assembly 120. A front cavity 140 is formed on the side of the diaphragm 110 facing away from the magnetic circuit assembly 120, and a back cavity 150 is formed on the side of the diaphragm 110 facing the magnetic circuit assembly 120. The temples 20 accommodate the sound-generating device 10 and have a sound outlet 210 and a pressure relief hole 220. The sound outlet 210 communicates with the back cavity 150, and the pressure relief hole 220 communicates with the front cavity 140. In the wearing state, the sound outlet 210 is closer to the user's ear canal opening 2 than the pressure relief hole 220 (see Figure 2). Figure 1 and Figure 5 The frame 30 is attached to the temple 20. It should be noted that... Figure 1 and Figure 2A The front, back, up, down, inside, and outside directions indicated by the middle arrows refer to the glasses 1 or the temples 20. In the example of this specification, the orientation of the sound-generating device 10 is such that the front and back (back) directions of the diaphragm 110 correspond to the inside and outside directions of the temples 20 of the glasses 1. However, in other embodiments, the orientation of the sound-generating device 10 can be changed, for example, the front and back (back) directions of the diaphragm 110 can be changed to correspond to the up and down directions of the temples 20 of the glasses 1.
[0049] The sound-generating device 10 is an audio playback device. The sound-generating device can be a loudspeaker, speaker, etc. The magnetic circuit assembly 120 can generate a magnetic field that drives the diaphragm 110 to vibrate. The diaphragm 110 vibrates under the drive of the magnetic field of the magnetic circuit assembly 120, thereby generating sound waves on the front and rear sides of the diaphragm 110 (e.g., corresponding to the outward and inward directions of the temple 20). For example, the magnetic circuit assembly 120 may also include a voice coil, which is a coil for the passage of current. The voice coil can be located on the side of the diaphragm 110 facing the magnetic circuit assembly 120 and fixed to the diaphragm 110, and the voice coil is located in the magnetic field formed by the magnetic circuit assembly 120 (such as the magnetic gap formed by the magnetic circuit assembly 120). When an electrical signal (i.e., an audio signal) passes through the voice coil, it can vibrate under the action of the magnetic field and drive the diaphragm 110 to vibrate, thereby causing the diaphragm 110 to generate sound waves and radiate sound outwards. For more structural descriptions of the sound-generating device 10, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 And related explanations.
[0050] The temple 20 may include a housing and a receiving cavity enclosed by the housing, within which the sound-generating device 10 is housed. In some embodiments, the size of the sound-generating device 10 along the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110 is small, so when the acoustic device is mounted on the temple 20, the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110 can be substantially parallel to the inward and outward directions of the temple 20, thereby reducing the size of the temple 20 along the inward and outward directions to avoid the temple 20 being too large. In some embodiments, the diaphragm 110 of the sound-generating device 10 may be arranged toward the outer side of the eyeglasses 1 (i.e., toward the outer sidewall of the housing of the temple 20), and the magnetic circuit assembly 120 of the sound-generating device 10 may be arranged toward the inner side of the eyeglasses 1 (i.e., toward the inner sidewall of the housing of the temple 20). The diaphragm 110 may divide the receiving cavity, which is at least divided by the diaphragm 110 into a front cavity 140 located on the front side of the diaphragm 110 along the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110 and a back cavity 150 located on the rear side of the diaphragm 110.
[0051] Both the sound outlet 210 and the pressure relief hole 220 are located on the housing of the temple 20 and communicate with the receiving cavity. The sound outlet 210 communicates with the back cavity 150, achieving acoustic coupling. The vibration of the diaphragm 110 causes the air in the back cavity 150 to vibrate, generating air-conducted sound. The air-conducted sound generated in the back cavity 150 is transmitted to the outside through the sound outlet 210. The pressure relief hole 220 communicates with the front cavity 140, achieving acoustic coupling. The vibration of the diaphragm 110 also causes the air in the front cavity 140 to vibrate, generating air-conducted sound. The air-conducted sound generated in the front cavity 140 can be transmitted to the outside through the pressure relief hole 220.
[0052] By positioning the sound outlet 210 closer to the ear canal opening 2 than the pressure relief hole 220, the user primarily hears the sound output from the sound outlet 210. In other words, when the user wears glasses 1, the sound pressure level from the sound outlet 210 heard at the ear canal opening 2 is greater than the sound pressure level from the pressure relief hole 220. Specifically, "the sound outlet 210 is closer to the ear canal opening 2 than the pressure relief hole 220" means that the distance between the centroid of the outer end face of the sound outlet 210 and the centroid of the ear canal opening 2 is less than the distance between the centroid of the outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220 and the centroid of the ear canal opening 2. The outer end face of the sound outlet 210 can be understood as the end face of the sound outlet 210 located on the outer wall surface of the temple 20 housing, and the centroid of the outer end face of the sound outlet 210 can be understood as the geometric center of the outer end face of the sound outlet 210. The outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220 can be understood as the end face of the pressure relief hole 220 located on the outer wall surface of the temple 20 housing. The centroid of the outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220 can be understood as the geometric center of the outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220. The ear canal opening 2 refers to the outer port of the external auditory canal, and the centroid of the ear canal opening 2 refers to the geometric center of this outer port. The statement that the sound outlet hole 210 is closer to the ear canal opening 2 than the pressure relief hole 220 can also mean that the shortest distance between the sound outlet hole 210 and the ear canal opening 2 is less than the shortest distance between the pressure relief hole 220 and the ear canal opening 2. Specifically, the shortest distance between the sound outlet hole 210 and the ear canal opening 2 can be understood as the length of the shortest line connecting the edge of the outer end face of the sound outlet hole 210 to the edge of the ear canal opening 2, and the shortest distance between the pressure relief hole 220 and the ear canal opening 2 can be understood as the length of the shortest line connecting the edge of the outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220 to the edge of the ear canal opening 2.
[0053] In some embodiments, to further enhance the sound pressure level at the ear canal opening 2, the opening area of the sound outlet 210 is larger than the opening area of the pressure relief hole 220. It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of the sound outlet 210 at different positions along its axial direction may vary; therefore, the opening area of the sound outlet 210 refers to the minimum cross-sectional area at each different position along its axial direction. Similarly, the opening area of the pressure relief hole 220 refers to the minimum cross-sectional area at each different position along its axial direction. Because the opening area of the sound outlet 210 is larger than that of the pressure relief hole 220, more sound will be output from the sound outlet 210 to the outside, thereby enhancing the sound pressure level at the ear canal opening 2. Furthermore, since the sound output from the pressure relief hole 220 cancels out the sound output from the sound outlet 210 at the ear canal opening 2, setting the opening area of the pressure relief hole 220 to be smaller also helps to enhance the sound pressure level at the user's ear canal opening 2.
[0054] Reference Figure 2AIn the structure of the sound-generating device 10 shown, the dimension of the magnetic circuit assembly 120 in the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110 is larger than the dimension of the diaphragm 110 in the vibration direction. Correspondingly, the dimension of the back cavity 150 in the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110 is larger than the dimension of the front cavity 140 in the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110. In some embodiments, in order to better orient the opening direction of the sound outlet 210 toward the ear canal opening 2 and the opening direction of the pressure relief hole 220 away from the ear canal opening 2, the sound outlet 210 and the pressure relief hole 220 can be respectively opened on the side wall not directly opposite the diaphragm 110 or the magnetic circuit assembly 120. In this case, it is more advantageous to open a larger through hole as a sound outlet on the side wall corresponding to the back cavity 150 (the side wall not directly opposite the magnetic circuit assembly 120). That is, by making the sound outlet 210 with a larger opening area connected to the back cavity 150, while ensuring a larger sound pressure level at the ear canal opening 2, the increase in the volume of the temple 20 is avoided as much as possible.
[0055] refer to Figure 1 The number of temples 20 is two. In some embodiments, the number of sound-generating devices 10 is one, with one temple 20 housing the sound-generating device 10. In other embodiments, the number of sound-generating devices 10 is multiple, such as two, three, four, etc. Multiple sound-generating devices 10 are respectively housed by two temples 20. In some embodiments, the temple 20 includes a connecting section 240 and a wearing section 250 in the front-rear direction, with the connecting section 240 connecting between the wearing section 250 and the frame 30. The wearing section 250 is designed to fit against the user's ear so that the glasses 1 can be worn stably, and the connecting section 240 connects the wearing section 250 and the frame 30. A sound outlet 210 is provided on either the connecting section 240 or the wearing section 250. Alternatively, a portion of the sound outlet 210 is provided on the connecting section 240 and another portion on the wearing section 250. A pressure relief hole 220 is provided on either the connecting section 240 or the wearing section 250. Alternatively, a portion of the pressure relief hole 220 is provided on the connecting section 240 and another portion on the wearing section 250. For more detailed structural information regarding the shape and structure of the temple 20, please see below.
[0056] In some embodiments, the sound outlet 210 and the pressure relief hole 220 may be located on the same sidewall of the housing of the temple 20. For example, the sound outlet 210 and the pressure relief hole 220 may both be located on one of the upper sidewall, lower sidewall, inner sidewall, or outer sidewall of the housing. In other embodiments, the sound outlet 210 and the pressure relief hole 220 may be located on different sidewalls of the housing of the temple 20. For example, the sound outlet 210 may be located on the upper sidewall of the housing, and the pressure relief hole 220 may be located on the lower sidewall of the temple 20; or, the sound outlet 210 may be located on the lower sidewall of the housing, and the pressure relief hole 220 may be located on the upper sidewall of the temple 20. It should be noted that the upper sidewall of the housing is the sidewall facing the top of the head when the glasses 1 is worn; the lower sidewall of the temple 20 is the sidewall facing the feet when the glasses 1 is worn; the inner sidewall of the temple 20 is the sidewall facing the face when the glasses 1 is worn; and the outer sidewall of the temple 20 is the sidewall facing away from the face when the glasses 1 is worn. Further explanation regarding the placement of the sound outlet 210 and the pressure relief hole 220 on the temple 20 can be found below.
[0057] The frame 30 and temples 20 combine to form the frame of the eyeglasses 1. The frame 30 is a component used to support and mount the optical components of the eyeglasses 1. For example, when the eyeglasses 1 are myopia glasses 1, sunglasses, hyperopia glasses 1, etc., the frame 30 can support and mount the lenses of the eyeglasses 1. As another example, when the eyeglasses 1 are AR / VR glasses 1, the frame 30 can support and mount the display of the eyeglasses 1. In some embodiments, the temples 20 are connected to the frame 30 via hinges, allowing the temples 20 to fold when not being worn.
[0058] By setting the sound outlet 210 and the pressure relief hole 220, sound leakage of the glasses 1 can be reduced. The specific principle is as follows: the sound wave on the front side of the diaphragm 110 is led out through the pressure relief hole 220, and the sound wave on the rear side of the diaphragm 110 is led out through the sound outlet 210. Since the sound waves on the front and rear sides of the diaphragm 110 are 180° out of phase, an acoustic dipole with a certain directionality can be formed. An acoustic dipole is a sound source composed of two monopole sources that are very close together (the distance between them is much smaller than the wavelength), with basically equal intensity and opposite phase (180° out of phase). Its sound field is roughly in the shape of an "8", and the sound pressure level of the sound field is the largest in the direction of the line connecting the two monopole sources, thus making the sound directional and reducing sound leakage. However, when sound waves from the front and rear sides of the diaphragm 110 radiate to the outside after passing through the front cavity 140 and the back cavity 150, if there is cavity resonance in the front cavity 140 and the back cavity 150, the phase of the sound waves will change abruptly, the effect of the acoustic dipole will be destroyed, and the sound will no longer be directional, resulting in increased sound leakage. For the sound-generating device 10, increasing the size of the magnetic circuit assembly 120 can improve the mid-low frequency sound effect of the glasses 1, but the magnetic circuit assembly 120 will reduce the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150, and the larger the size of the magnetic circuit assembly 120 (such as the size along the vibration direction of the diaphragm), the lower the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 will be. Due to the presence of the magnetic circuit assembly 120, the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 will be lower than the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140. When the frequency of the sound is between the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 and the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140, the acoustic dipole cannot reduce sound leakage. Therefore, while increasing the size of the magnetic circuit assembly of the sound-generating device, in order to make the glasses 1 have a better sound leakage reduction effect, it is desirable that the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 is as high as possible, and the difference between the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140 and the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 is as small as possible.
[0059] Figure 2B This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the temple 20 and the sound-generating device 10 according to other embodiments of this specification. Figure 2B The illustrated embodiments and Figure 2A The difference in the illustrated embodiments is that: Figure 2B In the illustrated embodiment, the sound outlet 210 on the temple 20 communicates with the front cavity 140, and the pressure relief hole 220 on the temple 20 communicates with the back cavity 150. Since the back cavity 150 is larger in the vibration direction than the front cavity 140, in... Figure 2B It is difficult to create a large sound outlet 210 on the side wall corresponding to the front cavity 140, resulting in a low sound pressure level (especially low-frequency sounds) at the ear canal opening 2. In addition, if it is desired to increase the opening area of the sound outlet 210, it may be necessary to adjust the structure of the temple 20 to increase the volume of the front cavity 140, which would lead to an increase in the volume of the temple 20.
[0060] Compare with this instruction manual Figure 2A The illustrated embodiments and Figure 2B As can be seen from the illustrated embodiments, in Figure 2A In the illustrated embodiment, by connecting the sound outlet 210 to the back cavity 150, it is advantageous to design a sound outlet 210 with a larger opening area, ensuring the sound pressure level at the ear canal opening 2. Furthermore, by allowing the sound waves generated by the diaphragm 110 to pass through the back cavity 150 and then be output from the sound outlet 210 with a larger opening area, it is beneficial to increase the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 (compared to...). Figure 2B (In the embodiment), this can further offset the negative impact of the magnetic circuit assembly 120 on the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150. Furthermore, since the pressure relief hole 220, with its smaller opening area, is connected to the front cavity 140, the sound waves generated by the diaphragm 110 are output from the pressure relief hole 220 after passing through the front cavity 140, thereby reducing the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140 (compared to...). Figure 2B In the embodiment, the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the difference between the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140 and the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150.

(Comparison) Figure 3A and Figure 3B It can be seen Figure 2A and Figure 2BIn the embodiments, the resonant frequencies of the structures formed by the sound outlet 210 and the corresponding cavity (the cavity connected to the sound outlet 210) and the resonant frequencies of the structures formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the corresponding cavity (the cavity connected to the pressure relief hole 220) are described. It should be noted that, in this specification, the resonant frequencies of the structures formed by the cavities (such as the front cavity 140 and the back cavity 150) and the corresponding components (such as the sound outlet 210, the pressure relief hole 220, and the tuning hole described below) can be understood as the resonant frequencies of the cavities under the influence of the corresponding components. In certain locations in this specification, the resonant frequencies of the structures formed by the cavities (such as the front cavity 140 and the back cavity 150) and the corresponding components (such as the sound outlet 210, the pressure relief hole 220, and the tuning hole described below) will be simplified as the resonant frequencies of the cavities (such as the front cavity 140 and the back cavity 150).
[0062] Figure 2B The frequency response curves of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the front cavity 140, and the frequency response curves of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the back cavity 150 in the illustrated embodiment are as follows: Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown by the dashed line. Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown by the dotted lines, the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the front cavity 140 is approximately 4.8 kHz; the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the back cavity 150 is approximately 2.5 kHz. At this point, the resonant frequencies of the structures formed by the sound outlet 210 and the front cavity 140 and the pressure relief hole 220 and the back cavity 150 differ significantly (approximately 2.3 kHz). This means that the glasses 1 cannot reduce sound leakage for sounds in the frequency range of 2.5 kHz to 4.8 kHz.
[0063] Figure 2A The frequency response curves of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 and the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 in the embodiment shown are as follows: Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown by the solid line. Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown by the solid lines, the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 is approximately 3kHz; the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 is approximately 4.2kHz. At this point, the difference in resonant frequencies between the structures formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 and the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 is reduced (to approximately 1.2kHz). This means that glasses 1 cannot reduce sound leakage for sounds with frequencies in the range of 3kHz-4.2kHz. Therefore, by connecting the sound outlet 210 to the back cavity 150 and the pressure relief hole 220 to the front cavity 140, the frequency range that can achieve the effect of reducing sound leakage can be increased, thereby improving the sound leakage reduction effect of glasses 1.
[0064] Figure 3C According to this instruction manual Figure 2A and Figure 2B The structure in the embodiment corresponds to the far-field sound leakage curve of glasses 1. To further verify the sound leakage reduction effect, a comparative test was conducted. Figure 2A Implementation examples and Figure 2B Far-field sound leakage in the embodiments, such as Figure 3C As shown in the image. Figure 3C The horizontal axis represents frequency (Freq, in kHz), and the vertical axis represents output sound pressure level (SPL, in dB). Clearly, Figure 2B In the embodiments (corresponding) Figure 3C (The dotted line in the image) The maximum leakage peak occurs at 2.5kHz, corresponding to the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the back cavity 150. Within the frequency range of 1kHz to 3kHz, Figure 2A Implementation examples (corresponding) Figure 3C The sound pressure level of far-field leakage (as shown by the solid line in the image) is generally less than [a certain value]. Figure 2B The sound pressure level of far-field leakage in the embodiment. It can be seen from this that... Figure 2A The embodiment shown in this study has a better sound leakage reduction effect.
[0065] In some embodiments, the first resonant frequency of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 is greater than or equal to 2 kHz. In some embodiments, the first resonant frequency of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 is greater than 2.8 kHz. In some embodiments, the first resonant frequency range of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 is 2 kHz to 4 kHz. For example, the first resonant frequency can be 2 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 3 kHz, 3.3 kHz, 4 kHz, etc. By setting the first resonant frequency within the above range (e.g., less than or equal to 4 kHz), the first resonant frequency is prevented from being too large and exceeding the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140, thereby ensuring that the sound leakage reduction effect of the glasses can be improved (if the first resonant frequency is greater than the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140, increasing the first resonant frequency will reduce the sound leakage reduction effect of the glasses). Furthermore, as mentioned above, to ensure the sound leakage reduction effect of glasses 1, the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 will affect the frequency band in which the acoustic dipole cannot achieve the sound leakage reduction effect (this frequency band is higher than the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150). The higher the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150, the wider the frequency band in which the sound leakage reduction effect can be achieved before the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150. By setting the first resonant frequency within the above range (e.g., greater than or equal to 2kHz), it is possible to avoid the first resonant frequency being too small, thereby avoiding the resulting excessively large frequency band in which the acoustic dipole cannot achieve the sound leakage reduction effect, and also to avoid an excessively large difference between the first resonant frequency and the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140.
[0066] In some embodiments, the resonant frequency (corresponding to the third resonant frequency below) of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 is less than or equal to 5 kHz. In some embodiments, the resonant frequency (corresponding to the third resonant frequency below) of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 is greater than 4 kHz and less than or equal to 5 kHz. For example, the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 can be 4.2 kHz, 4.5 kHz, 4.8 kHz, 5 kHz, etc. By setting the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 within the above range (e.g., greater than 4 kHz), the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 is greater than the first resonant frequency, ensuring that the effect of improving the sound leakage reduction of the glasses can be achieved. Furthermore, as mentioned above, in order to ensure the sound leakage reduction effect of glasses 1, the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140 will affect the frequency band in which the acoustic dipole cannot achieve the sound leakage reduction effect (this frequency band is lower than the resonant frequency of the front cavity 140). By setting the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 within the above range (e.g., less than or equal to 5kHz), the difference between the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 and the first resonant frequency can be minimized as much as possible. This avoids the frequency band in which the acoustic dipole cannot achieve the sound leakage reduction effect being too large due to the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 being too large.
[0067] For users with different head sizes, the distance between the sound outlet 210 and the ear may vary significantly in the front-to-back direction when wearing glasses 1. In some embodiments, to ensure that the distance between the sound outlet 210 and the ear canal opening 2 is not too far when users with different head sizes wear glasses 1, the sound outlet 210 can be extended along the front-to-back direction of the temple 20.
[0068] Figure 4A This is a cross-sectional view of the temple 20 and the sound-generating device 10 according to some embodiments of this specification. In some embodiments, such as Figure 4A As shown, the opening length L1 of the sound outlet 210 is greater than or equal to the opening length L2 of the pressure relief hole 220. This arrangement helps to increase the opening area of the sound outlet 210, making the opening area of the sound outlet 210 larger than that of the pressure relief hole 220. It should be noted that the opening length L1 of the sound outlet 210 / the opening length L2 of the pressure relief hole 220 can be understood as the cross-section of the sound outlet 210 / the pressure relief hole 220 perpendicular to the inward and outward directions (e.g., ...). Figure 4A The length dimension on the cross section shown.
[0069] In some embodiments, the length of the sound outlet 210 in the front-rear direction of the temple 20 can be directly increased so that the opening length L1 of the sound outlet 210 is greater than or equal to the opening length L2 of the pressure relief hole 220. In other embodiments, the opening length L1 of the sound outlet 210 can be increased through the structural design of the temple 20 at the location of the sound outlet 210. In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4A As shown, the temple 20 includes a wearing section 250 and a connecting section 240 along its length, with the connecting section 240 connecting between the wearing section 250 and the frame 30. The lower sidewalls of the connecting section 240 and the wearing section 250 are connected by an arc-shaped plate 260, and at least a portion of the sound outlet 210 is located on the arc-shaped plate 260. By placing at least a portion of the sound outlet 210 on the arc-shaped plate 260, the opening length L1 of the sound outlet 210 can be maximized within a limited space, thereby increasing the area of the sound outlet 210. Furthermore, the arc-shaped plate 260 can also fit with the user's ear and head (e.g., clipped between the ear and head) to allow the user to wear the glasses 1 stably and comfortably.
[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4B As shown, the opening width W1 of the sound outlet 210 is greater than or equal to the opening width W2 of the pressure relief hole 220. It should be noted that the ratio of the opening width of the sound outlet 210 to the opening width of the pressure relief hole 220 can be understood as the width dimension of the sound outlet 210 / pressure relief hole 220 in a cross-section perpendicular to the front-rear direction. Based on the above explanation, since the dimension of the back cavity 150 in the diaphragm vibration direction is larger than that of the front cavity 140 in the diaphragm vibration direction, the space for setting the sound outlet 210 is larger than the space for setting the pressure relief hole 220. Therefore, setting the opening width W1 of the sound outlet 210 to be greater than or equal to the opening width W2 of the pressure relief hole 220 can increase the opening area of the sound outlet 210 without increasing the volume of the temple 20.
[0071] In some embodiments, when the orientation of the sound-generating device 10 is such that the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110 is substantially parallel to the inward and outward directions of the temple 20 (for example, the diaphragm 110 is positioned towards the outer wall of the temple 20 housing, and the magnetic circuit assembly 120 is positioned towards the inner wall of the temple 20 housing), due to the size limitations of the temple 20, it is difficult to open the pressure relief hole 220 and the sound outlet hole 210 on the inner and outer walls of the housing. In this case, the sound outlet hole 210 is located on the upper or lower side wall of the temple 20. In some embodiments, to ensure the user's listening effect, both the sound outlet hole 210 and the pressure relief hole 220 are located in front of the ear when worn. In some embodiments, when a user wears glasses 1, since the temple 20 is placed above the ear, in order to improve the user's hearing, the sound outlet 210 is located on the lower side wall of the temple 20, and the pressure relief hole 220 is located on the upper side wall of the temple 20.
[0072] In some embodiments, the sound outlet 210 is oriented towards the ear when worn. In some embodiments, the sound outlet 210 is oriented towards the ear canal opening 2. That is, in the wearing state, the sound outlet 210 faces the user's ear canal opening 2. At this time, the sound outlet 210 is located on the lower surface of the temple 20. By setting the sound outlet 210 to face the ear canal opening 2, the user's hearing effect can be improved when wearing the glasses 1.
[0073] In some embodiments, the pressure relief hole 220 is located on the upper side of the temple 20. Since the sound outlet 210 faces the ear canal opening 2 and is located on the lower side of the temple 20, placing the pressure relief hole 220 on the upper side of the temple 20 allows the sound radiation of the acoustic dipole to be oriented substantially in the vertical direction along the temple 20 (for example, the angle between the line connecting the two monopole sources and the vertical direction is less than 60°). Since the ear canal opening 2 is located below the temple 20 when the user wears the glasses 1, this can help improve the user's hearing effect.
[0074] In some embodiments, the pressure relief hole 220 is closer to the connection between the temple 20 and the frame 30 than the sound outlet hole 210. When worn, both the pressure relief hole 220 and the sound outlet hole 210 are located in front of the ear, while the temple 20 is located above the ear. This arrangement allows the line connecting the two monopole sources of the acoustic dipole to point behind the temple 20 on the underside of the temple 20, i.e., towards the ear, thereby improving the user's hearing experience when wearing the glasses 1. In this specification, the connection between the temple 20 and the frame 30 can refer to the location of the hinge used for connection between the temple 20 and the frame 30.
[0075] In some embodiments, the centroid of the outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220 to the centroid of the outer end face of the sound outlet hole 210 forms a first vector Q1, and the centroid of the outer end face of the sound outlet hole 210 to the centroid of the ear canal opening 2 forms a second vector Q2. The angle α formed by the straight line containing the first vector Q1 and the straight line containing the second vector Q2 ranges from 0° to 60°. Figure 5 As shown, the first vector Q1, from the centroid of the outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220 to the centroid of the outer end face of the sound outlet hole 210, corresponds to the line connecting the two monopole sources of the acoustic dipole. Therefore, the angle α formed by the line containing the first vector Q1 and the line containing the second vector Q2 reflects the relative positional relationship between the ear canal opening 2 and the sound field. Since the sound pressure level of the sound field is strongest in the direction of the line connecting the two monopole sources, by setting the range of the angle α formed by the line containing the first vector Q1 and the line containing the second vector Q2 to 0°-60°, the user's ear canal opening 2 can receive a sound with a higher sound pressure level, ensuring the user's listening effect when wearing glasses 1. In some embodiments, the range of the angle α formed by the line containing the first vector Q1 and the line containing the second vector Q2 is 0°-45°, which can improve the user's listening effect when wearing glasses 1.
[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2A As shown, the axis of the sound outlet 210 is inclined relative to the side wall where the sound outlet 210 is located. The axis of the sound outlet 210 can be seen in [reference needed]. Figure 2A The dashed line at the sound outlet 210. As an example, in... Figure 2A In the illustrated embodiment, the sound outlet 210 is disposed on the lower sidewall of the temple 20, and the sidewall where the sound outlet 210 is located is the lower sidewall of the temple 20 housing. The inclination of the axis of the sound outlet 210 relative to the sidewall where it is located can be understood as the axis of the sound outlet 210 not being perpendicular to the sidewall where it is located. In some embodiments, the direction of inclination of the axis of the sound outlet 210 relative to the sidewall where it is located can be: the vector from the centroid of the inner end face of the sound outlet 210 to the centroid of the outer end face of the sound outlet 210 points to the outer side of the temple 20. The inner end face of the sound outlet 210 can be understood as the end face of the sound outlet 210 located on the inner wall surface of the temple 20 housing. When the back cavity 150 of the acoustic device is arranged facing the inner wall of the housing of the temple 20, the inner end face of the sound outlet 210 is also close to the inner side of the temple 20. Setting the axis of the sound outlet 210 to be inclined relative to the side wall where the sound outlet 210 is located can make the outer end face of the sound outlet 210 as close as possible to the outer side of the temple 20, thereby reducing the sound output from the sound outlet 210 that is reflected by the head.
[0077] The sound generated by the vibration of the diaphragm 110 causing the air in the back cavity 150 to vibrate will form a standing wave in the back cavity 150. Due to the generation of the standing wave, when the back cavity 150 resonates, a maximum sound pressure level point will appear near the opposite position of the sound outlet 220 in the back cavity 150. This phenomenon is called standing wave resonance. The generation of standing wave resonance will cause the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 to decrease. When the frequency of the standing wave changes, the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 will also change. Therefore, the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 can be changed by changing the frequency of the standing wave. Studies have found that the frequency of the standing wave can be changed by: changing (e.g., shortening) the sound transmission path in the back cavity 150, changing the structure at the boundary where the standing wave is generated in the back cavity 150, etc. For example, by shortening the sound transmission path in the back cavity 150, the longer wavelength standing wave can be destroyed, thereby changing the frequency of the standing wave and increasing the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150. For example, by changing the hard boundary at the boundary where the standing wave is generated in the back cavity 150 to a soft boundary or an impedance boundary, the longer wavelength standing wave can be disrupted, the frequency of the generated standing wave can be changed, and thus the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 can be increased. The following section will combine... Figures 6-10 Further explanation is needed.
[0078] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sound-generating device 10 according to some embodiments of this specification. In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic circuit assembly 120 includes a magnet 121 and a magnetic guide 122 at least partially surrounding the magnet 121, with a magnetic gap formed between the magnet 121 and the magnetic guide 122. The sound-generating device 10 also includes a voice coil 130 connected to a diaphragm 110, the voice coil 130 extending at least partially into the magnetic gap. The magnet 121 is an element capable of generating a magnetic field. The magnet 121 can be a magnet (including but not limited to metal alloy magnets, ferrites, etc.). The magnetic guide 122 can adjust the distribution of the magnetic field (e.g., the magnetic field generated by a magnetic element). The magnetic guide 122 can include an element processed from a soft magnetic material. In some embodiments, the voice coil 130 can be annular. In some embodiments, the magnetic guide 122 can be annular. In other embodiments, the magnetic guide 122 can be cylindrical. In this case, the magnetic guide 122 can include annular sidewalls and a bottom wall.
[0079] In some embodiments, a through hole 160 is provided on the voice coil 130 or the magnetic conductor 122. The location and extension direction of the through hole 160 can be varied. In some embodiments, when the through hole 160 is provided on the voice coil 130, the through hole 160 connects the inner and outer sides of the annular voice coil 130. As an example only, the extension direction of the through hole 160 can be perpendicular to the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110. In other embodiments, the through hole 160 can be provided on the magnetic conductor 122, and the through hole 160 connects the inner and outer sides of the cylindrical magnetic conductor 122. As an example only, the through hole 160 is provided on the annular sidewall of the magnetic conductor 122, in which case the extension direction of the through hole 160 can be perpendicular to the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110. As an example only, the through hole 160 is provided on the bottom wall of the magnetic conductor 122, in which case the extension direction of the through hole 160 can be parallel to the vibration direction of the diaphragm 110. Without the through-hole 160, the sound transmission curve in the back cavity 150 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown by the dotted line, after the through hole 160 is set according to any of the above embodiments, sound can pass through the through hole 160, and thus the sound can be transmitted to the outside of the back cavity 150 through a shorter transmission path. The through hole 160 opened on the voice coil 130 or the magnetic conductor 122 can shorten the transmission path of part of the sound in the back cavity 150, thereby changing the frequency of the standing wave generated in the back cavity 150, so as to reduce the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150.
[0080] Figure 7A These are schematic diagrams of the temples and sound-generating devices according to other embodiments shown in this specification. Figure 7B This is a schematic diagram of the temple and sound-generating device from another angle, according to other embodiments of this specification. In some embodiments, such as Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, a tuning hole 230 communicating with the back cavity 150 is provided on the temple 20. The distance between the centroid of the outer end face of the tuning hole 230 and the centroid of the outer end face of the pressure relief hole 220 is less than the distance between the centroid of the outer end face of the tuning hole 230 and the centroid of the outer end face of the sound outlet hole 210. That is to say, the sound outlet hole 210 is farther away from the tuning hole 230 than the pressure relief hole 220. The outer end face of the tuning hole 230 can be understood as the end face of the tuning hole 230 located on the outer wall surface of the temple 20 housing, and the centroid of the outer end face of the tuning hole 230 can be understood as the geometric center of the outer end face of the tuning hole 230. Since the user mainly hears the sound output from the sound outlet hole 210, setting the sound outlet hole 210 farther away from the tuning hole 230 than the pressure relief hole 220 can prevent the sound output from the tuning hole 230 from affecting the sound output from the sound outlet hole 210.
[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7A and Figure 7BAs shown, the tuning hole 230 and the sound outlet 210 are located on different sidewalls of the temple 20. In some embodiments, the tuning hole 230 and the sound outlet 210 are located on opposite sidewalls of the temple 20. As mentioned above, when the back cavity 150 resonates, a maximum sound pressure level point will appear near the opposite position of the sound outlet in the back cavity 150. Therefore, the tuning hole 230 can be located in the back cavity 150 at a position opposite to the location of the sound outlet 210. In this case, the tuning hole 230 and the pressure relief hole 220 are located on the same side of the temple 20. For example, the tuning hole 230 and the pressure relief hole 220 are both located on the upper sidewall of the temple 20 housing, while the sound outlet 210 is located on the lower sidewall of the temple 20 housing.
[0082] By providing the tuning hole 230, a portion of the sound from the back cavity 150 can be output to the outside. This shortens the transmission curve of this sound within the back cavity 150, altering the frequency at which standing waves are generated. The tuning hole 230 further enhances the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150. The structure formed by the tuning hole 230, the sound outlet 210, and the back cavity 150 has a second resonant frequency. Without the tuning hole 230, the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 has a first resonant frequency. Due to the tuning hole 230, the second resonant frequency is increased compared to the first resonant frequency.
[0083] The following is through Figures 8A-8B To compare the frequency response curves of each cavity with and without the tuning hole 230, in order to further illustrate the technical effect of setting the tuning hole 230. Figure 8A The frequency response curves of the structure formed by the sound outlet and the back cavity according to this manual are shown with and without the tuning hole 230. Figure 8B The frequency response curves are based on the structure formed by the pressure relief hole and the front cavity according to this instruction manual, with and without the tuning hole 230. Figure 8A and Figure 8B The horizontal axis represents frequency (Freq, in kHz), and the vertical axis represents output sound pressure level (SPL, in dB). Figure 8A The solid line represents the second resonant frequency of the structure formed by the tuning hole 230, the sound outlet 210, and the back cavity 150 after the tuning hole 230 is installed. Figure 8B The solid line in the middle represents the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the tuning hole 230, the pressure relief hole 220, and the front cavity 140 (corresponding to the third resonant frequency below). Figure 8A The dashed line represents the first resonant frequency of the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 when the tuning hole 230 is not provided. Figure 8B The dashed line represents the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 when the tuning hole 230 is not provided (corresponding to the third resonant frequency below). From Figure 8AIt can be seen that after setting the tuning port 230, the second resonant frequency is approximately 3.4kHz, which is an improvement compared to the first resonant frequency (approximately 3kHz). And from... Figure 8B It can be seen that the setting of the tuning hole 230 has almost no effect on the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140. However, since the second resonant frequency is higher than the first resonant frequency, the difference between the resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 and the second resonant frequency is small.
[0084] Figure 9 These are far-field sound leakage curves of the glasses in the embodiments of this specification, with and without the tuning hole. Figure 9 The horizontal axis represents frequency (Freq, in kHz), and the vertical axis represents output sound pressure level (SPL, in dB). Figure 9 The dashed line in the figure shows the far-field sound leakage curve of glasses 1 when the tuning hole 230 is not provided. Figure 9 The solid line in the figure shows the far-field sound leakage curve of glasses 1 when the tuning hole 230 is set. For example... Figure 9 As shown, after setting the tuning hole 230, comparing the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency, due to the increase in the resonant frequency, the sound pressure level of far-field leakage is reduced in the frequency range below the first resonant frequency (approximately 3kHz).
[0085] In some embodiments, the second resonant frequency of the structure formed by the tuning hole 230, the sound outlet 210, and the back cavity 150 is not less than 3kHz. For example, the second resonant frequency can be 3.2kHz, 3.4kHz, 3.5kHz, etc. As mentioned above, in order to ensure the sound leakage reduction effect of the glasses 1, the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 will affect the frequency band in which the acoustic dipole cannot achieve the sound leakage reduction effect (this frequency band is greater than the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150). With this setting, it can be ensured that the acoustic dipole can have the sound leakage reduction effect at least below 3kHz, and the frequency range in which the acoustic dipole can achieve the sound leakage reduction effect is relatively large.
[0086] In some embodiments, the difference between the third resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency of the structure formed by the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 is no greater than 2kHz. Based on the above discussion, when the frequency of the sound is between the second and third resonant frequencies, the acoustic dipole cannot reduce sound leakage. If the difference between the third and second resonant frequencies is too large, the frequency range in which the acoustic dipole cannot reduce sound leakage will be very large, resulting in poor sound leakage reduction of the glasses 1. By setting the tuning hole 230, the second resonant frequency is increased based on the first resonant frequency, making the difference between the third and second resonant frequencies smaller (less than 2kHz). This narrows the frequency range in which the acoustic dipole cannot reduce sound leakage, resulting in better sound leakage reduction of the glasses 1.
[0087] In some embodiments, when both the tuning hole 230 and the pressure relief hole 220 are located on the upper side of the temple 20, the tuning hole 230 is closer to the connection between the temple 20 and the frame 30 than the pressure relief hole 220. That is, the tuning hole 230 is located in front of the pressure relief hole 220. Since both the pressure relief hole 220 and the sound outlet 210 are located in front of the ear, the sound radiated towards the front of the ear by the acoustic dipole is difficult for the user to hear, leading to increased sound leakage. By placing the tuning hole 230 in the aforementioned position, some of the sound radiated towards the front of the glasses 1 by the pressure relief hole 220 can be counteracted, thereby reducing sound leakage of the glasses 1.
[0088] In some embodiments, the opening area of the tuning hole 230 is smaller than that of the pressure relief hole 220. Since sound waves also propagate outward from the tuning hole 230, an excessively large area of the tuning hole 230 can cause significant sound leakage. On one hand, an excessively high sound pressure level leaking from the tuning hole 230 can cancel out most of the sound from the pressure relief hole 220, resulting in the sound output from the pressure relief hole 220 failing to cancel out with the sound output from the sound outlet 210 in the far field, thus affecting the sound leakage reduction effect of the acoustic dipole. On the other hand, since the tuning hole 230 can also transmit sound from the back cavity 150 to the outside, an excessively large area of the tuning hole 230 can also weaken the sound output from the sound outlet 210, affecting the user's listening volume.
[0089] In some embodiments, the ratio of the opening area of the tuning hole 230 to the opening area of the pressure relief hole 220 is less than or equal to 10%. For example, the ratio of the opening area of the tuning hole 230 to the opening area of the pressure relief hole 220 is 10%, 9%, 6%, 5%, 3%, etc. This arrangement ensures that the tuning hole 230 can effectively increase the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 while preventing excessive sound leakage from the tuning hole 230.
[0090] Figure 10 These are schematic diagrams illustrating the structure of sound-generating devices and sound-absorbing materials according to some embodiments of this specification. In some embodiments, such as Figure 10As shown, a sound-absorbing material 170 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the back cavity 150 opposite to the sound outlet 210. In some embodiments, the sound-absorbing material 170 may be a porous material such as sponge or foam. In some embodiments, the sound-absorbing material 170 may be disposed on the inner sidewall of the back cavity 150 by means of bonding, snap-fitting, or other methods. The boundary at the position in the back cavity 150 opposite to the sound outlet 210 that generates standing waves is originally a hard boundary. By disposing the sound-absorbing material 170 on the inner sidewall of the back cavity 150 opposite to the sound outlet 210, the sound-absorbing material 170 can absorb the sound waves reaching that position instead of directly reflecting the sound waves, thus changing the hard boundary into a soft boundary or an impedance boundary, thereby changing the frequency at which the standing waves are generated, and thus increasing the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150.
[0091] In some embodiments, the temple 20 is provided with a first sound-absorbing structure (not shown) that is acoustically connected to the back cavity 150. The first sound-absorbing structure includes a first sound-absorbing cavity and a first sound guide tube, and the first sound-absorbing cavity is connected to the back cavity 150 through the first sound guide tube. The first sound-absorbing structure may be a Helmholtz resonant cavity. The first sound-absorbing structure has a first resonant frequency, and the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 has a first resonant frequency; the absolute value of the difference between the first resonant frequency and the first resonant frequency is less than 1 kHz. In some embodiments, the position where the first sound guide tube is connected to the back cavity 150 may be a position in the back cavity 150 opposite to the sound outlet 210. The first sound-absorbing structure can absorb part of the sound in the back cavity 150.
[0092] The first sound-absorbing cavity can be a hollow structure, and the shape of the hollow structure can be a regular or irregular geometric shape such as a circle or rectangle. In some embodiments, the first sound-absorbing structure can generate sound by absorbing sound from the back cavity 150, causing the air in the first sound-absorbing cavity and / or the first sound guide tube to resonate. In some embodiments, since the absolute value of the difference between the first resonant frequency and the first resonant frequency is less than 1 kHz, it indicates that the first resonant frequency is close to the first resonant frequency, and the sound generated by the resonance of the first sound-absorbing structure can be out of phase with the sound absorbed in the back cavity 150. As an example only, the difference between the first resonant frequency and the first resonant frequency can be 0.3 kHz, 0.5 kHz, 0.9 kHz, etc. In some embodiments, the sound generated by the resonance of the first sound-absorbing structure can have the same or similar amplitude as the absorbed sound. Thus, the sound generated by the resonance of the first sound-absorbing structure can cancel out the sound absorbed by the first sound-absorbing structure, thereby achieving the effect of sound absorption.
[0093] The boundary at the position opposite to the sound outlet 210 in the back cavity 150 where the standing wave is generated is originally a hard boundary. The first sound-absorbing structure can absorb the sound wave reaching this position instead of directly reflecting the sound wave, thus changing the hard boundary into a soft boundary or an impedance boundary, thereby changing the frequency of the standing wave and increasing the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150.
[0094] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the sound-generating device and the second sound-absorbing structure according to some embodiments of this specification. In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the temple 20 is provided with a second sound-absorbing structure 180 that is acoustically connected to the front cavity 140. The second sound-absorbing structure 180 includes a second sound-absorbing cavity 181 and a second sound guide tube 182. The second sound-absorbing cavity 181 is connected to the front cavity 140 through the second sound guide tube 182. The second sound-absorbing cavity 181 and the second sound guide tube 182 can form a Helmholtz resonant cavity. The second sound-absorbing structure 180 has a second resonant frequency and a corresponding quality factor, and the structure formed by the sound outlet 210 and the back cavity 150 has a first resonant frequency. The structure of the second sound-absorbing cavity 181 is similar to that of the first sound-absorbing cavity, and the structure of the second sound guide tube 192 is similar to that of the first sound guide tube. When sound from the front cavity enters the second sound-absorbing structure 180, the air in the second sound-absorbing cavity 181 and / or the second sound guide tube 182 resonates.
[0095] The quality factor causes the sound absorption response curve of the second sound-absorbing structure 180 to have a first resonance peak and a second resonance peak. The first resonance peak corresponds to a first frequency, and the second resonance peak corresponds to a second frequency, with the first frequency being less than the second frequency. The second resonance frequency lies between the first and second frequencies. The quality factor in resonance represents the magnitude of the resonant frequency of the oscillator relative to the bandwidth, thus determining the first and second frequencies. The second resonance frequency corresponds to the location of the sound absorption valley in the sound absorption response curve of the second sound-absorbing structure 180. The first and second resonance peaks are formed on both sides of the sound absorption valley, thus causing the second resonance frequency to lie between the first and second frequencies. The absolute value of the difference between the first resonant frequency and the first frequency is less than 1 kHz. That is, the first frequency is close to the first resonant frequency. As an example only, the difference between the first resonant frequency and the first frequency can be 0.3 kHz, 0.5 kHz, 0.9 kHz, etc.
[0096] Regarding the technical effects of setting the second sound-absorbing structure 180°, the following is a combination of... Figure 12 Please provide an explanation. Figure 12 The frequency response curves are shown for the structure formed by the pressure relief hole and the front cavity according to this instruction manual, with and without the second sound-absorbing structure. Figure 12 The horizontal axis represents frequency (Freq, in kHz), and the vertical axis represents output sound pressure level (SPL, in dB). Due to the introduction of the second sound-absorbing structure 180°, such as... Figure 12As shown, the peak near 4kHz in the sound absorption response curve of the comparative embodiment (the structure consisting of the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 without the second sound absorption structure 180) shown by the dashed line is absorbed, forming a sound absorption valley and the first and second resonance peaks that are raised on both sides of the sound absorption valley in the sound absorption response curve of the embodiment (the structure consisting of the pressure relief hole 220 and the front cavity 140 with the second sound absorption structure 180) shown by the solid line. The frequency response amplitude corresponding to frequencies near the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150 will be greatly increased. Acoustic dipoles aim to keep the frequency response amplitudes of the back cavity 150 and the front cavity 140 as consistent as possible. When the second sound-absorbing structure 180 is set, since the frequency corresponding to the first resonance peak (the first frequency) is close to the first resonant frequency, the frequency response amplitudes of the front cavity 140 and the back cavity 150 will increase simultaneously for frequencies near the resonant frequency of the back cavity 150. This can satisfy the condition that the frequency response amplitudes of the front cavity 140 and the back cavity 150 are consistent over a wider range of frequencies, making the leakage reduction of the glasses 1 more ideal over a wider range of frequencies.
[0097] Figure 13 These are far-field sound leakage curves of the glasses in the embodiments of this specification, with and without the second sound-absorbing structure. Figure 13 The horizontal axis represents frequency (Freq, in kHz), and the vertical axis represents output sound pressure level (SPL, in dB). Figure 13 The dashed line in the figure shows the far-field sound leakage curve of glasses 1 when the second sound-absorbing structure 180 is not set. Figure 13 The solid line in the figure shows the far-field sound leakage curve of glasses 1 when the second sound-absorbing structure 180 is set. Figure 13 As shown, after setting the second sound-absorbing structure 180, when the sound frequency is below 3.5kHz, the sound pressure level of far-field leakage is reduced compared to when the second sound-absorbing structure 180 is not set.
