[0028] For example, Figures 1 to 6As shown, a kind of horn diffusion structure, including shell 1;Wherein: the shell 1 is provided with double channel 2;The one end of the double channel 2 is provided with the sound source outlet 21 extending outward;The other end of the double channel 2 is provided with the sound source inlet 22 of gradually reducing diameter;Multiple diffusion parts 3 are provided on the sound source outlet 21;The diffusion part 3 is built-in medium tone phase plug 4;The double channel 2 is provided with inner container 5;The inner side wall of the double channel 2 and the sound channel formed by the inner container 5 form compression cavity 6;The compression cavity 6 is provided with compression cavity outlet 61;Sound source reaches the compression cavity outlet 61 from the sound source inlet 22 through the compression cavity 6 to form secondary sound source and then radiate to far field after the diffusion of the diffusion part 3.It needs to be explained that the utility model has the function of enhancing sound directional propagation and far field radiation: compared with the traditional horn diffusion structure, the utility model initiatively sets double channel 2 and compression cavity structure.The design breaks the convention, can efficiently compress and accurately focus sound source, so that sound energy is highly concentrated, like " directional engine " for sound, greatly enhances the directional propagation ability of sound.This innovation enables sound to maintain high energy intensity during long-distance transmission, effectively solves the problem that the existing structure cannot effectively propagate sound source energy to far field, and ensures that sound is still clear and audible in large space or long-distance scene.

[0029] Specifically, in the embodiment, the diffusion part 3 includes a diffusion mounting cavity 31, and the medium tone phase plug 4 is built in the diffusion mounting cavity 31.It needs to be explained that the built-in medium tone phase plug 4 in the diffusion part 3 is another highlight of the utility model.It is like a " phase regulator " for sound, can accurately optimize the phase characteristics of sound, fundamentally avoids the problem of sound quality damage caused by phase disorder in the diffusion process, and significantly improves the sound quality.

[0030] Specifically, in the embodiment, the top and bottom of the diffusion mounting cavity 31 are arranged with a plurality of diffusion grooves 32.

[0031] Specifically, in the embodiment, the sound source outlet 21 is symmetrically provided with four diffusion parts 3.It needs to be explained that at the same time, the plurality of diffusion parts 3 and the plurality of diffusion grooves 32 carefully designed on the top and bottom of the diffusion mounting cavity 31 cooperate with each other to build a full-range, multi-level sound diffusion system, so that sound is uniformly diffused in all directions, and the condition of uneven sound diffusion of the traditional structure is completely changed, to bring more balanced and natural auditory enjoyment to users.

[0032] Specifically, in the embodiment, the shell 1 is composed of a left shell 11 and a right shell 12;The left shell 11 and the right shell 12 are covered to form a cavity accommodating the inner container 5.

[0033] Specifically, in the embodiment, the shell 1 is provided with a shell reinforcing rib 13. It should be noted that the utility model is convenient to install, maintain and stable in structure: the shell 1 adopts the unique design of left shell body 11 and right shell body 12 cover, and the modular assembly mode is as convenient as building blocks, which greatly facilitates the installation and subsequent maintenance work of the inner container 5, and reduces the maintenance cost and difficulty. The shell reinforcing rib 13 arranged on the shell 1 is like injecting "steel and iron bones" to the structure, which significantly enhances the stability of the overall structure, effectively prolongs the service life of the product, and has more advantages in durability compared with the traditional structure.

[0034] Actual application scenario:

[0035] Overall structure assembly

[0036] Shell material selection and preparation: the left shell body 11 and the right shell body 12 are usually made of engineering plastics or metal materials with certain strength and sound insulation performance, such as high-strength ABS plastic or aluminum alloy. Before assembly, ensure that the surfaces of the two shell bodies are clean and free of impurities to ensure good sealing and connection strength.

[0037] Inner container 5 installation: carefully place the carefully designed inner container 5 in the predetermined position, and the shape and size of the inner container 5 are accurately matched with the cavity formed by the left and right shell bodies 12 cover. To ensure the stability of the inner container 5, rubber pads or shock-absorbing materials can be added to the contact part of the inner container 5 and the shell to reduce noise caused by vibration.

[0038] Shell connection: when using screw connection, pre-drill screw holes at the corresponding positions of the left and right shell bodies 12, select appropriate size screws, and use a screwdriver or power tool to tighten the screws to ensure firm connection. If a buckle connection method is used, the elasticity and strength of the buckle need to be ensured, and the left and right shell bodies 12 are aligned with the buckle position and gently pressed to make the buckle tightly engage. After completion, check the sealing and stability of the entire shell 1.

[0039] Reinforcing rib function: the shell reinforcing rib 13 on the shell 1 not only enhances the structural strength, but also plays a role in auxiliary heat dissipation to a certain extent. The design of the reinforcing rib is optimized according to the stress distribution and acoustic performance requirements of the shell 1 to ensure reliable support for the entire structure without affecting sound propagation.

[0040] Sound propagation path

[0041] Sound source inlet 22 convergence: the sound source enters from the sound source inlet 22 with gradually decreasing diameter, and the shape design is similar to a funnel, which can guide the sound to gradually converge, like water flowing through a narrow pipe, so that the sound energy is preliminarily concentrated. The inner wall of the sound source inlet 22 is usually made of smooth material, such as polished metal or special coated plastic, to reduce sound reflection and energy loss.

[0042] Compression cavity 6 reinforcement: After entering the compression cavity 6, the sound channel formed by the inner wall of the double channel 2 and the inner container 5 further compresses the sound. The length, width and shape of the compression cavity 6 are precisely calculated and optimized to achieve the best sound compression effect. During the compression process, the pressure and density of the sound increase, and the energy is more concentrated, laying the foundation for subsequent far-field propagation.

[0043] Secondary sound source formation: When the sound reaches the compression cavity outlet 61, due to the compression effect, a secondary sound source with higher energy density is formed. At this time, the secondary sound source is more concentrated and orderly in the propagation direction and energy distribution, preparing for efficient sound diffusion.

[0044] Sound diffusion process

[0045] Phase adjustment: When the secondary sound source reaches the diffusion part 3 of the sound source outlet 21, the middle phase plug 4 built into the diffusion installation cavity 31 begins to play a role. The middle phase plug 4 is generally made of materials with excellent acoustic performance, such as special acoustic ceramics or high polymer composite materials. It can finely adjust the phase of the sound and correct the phase deviation that may occur during the propagation of the sound, ensuring that the various frequency components of the sound can be accurately superimposed, thereby improving the sound quality.

[0046] Uniform diffusion: The multiple diffusion grooves 32 at the top and bottom of the diffusion installation cavity 31, and the four diffusion parts 3 symmetrically distributed at the sound source outlet 21, together form a comprehensive sound diffusion system. The shape, depth and spacing of the diffusion grooves 32 are carefully designed to guide the sound to reflect and refract in different directions, allowing the sound to diffuse uniformly in both horizontal and vertical directions. Multiple diffusion parts 3 work together to further refine the diffusion path of the sound, allowing the sound to be radiated to the far field in a more uniform and soft manner, providing a more wide and natural listening experience for the audience.

[0047] In summary, the utility model effectively improves the sound propagation and diffusion effect of the horn diffusion structure through unique structural design and careful optimization of the implementation mode, and has high practical value.

[0048] The above describes the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the utility model in detail. This paper applies specific examples to describe the principles and implementation modes of the embodiments of the utility model. The above description of the embodiments is only applicable to help understand the principles of the embodiments of the utility model; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the embodiments of the utility model, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed, and the above description should not be understood as a limitation of the utility model.
