AI Technical Summary
Existing side-entry microphone products are pressed into the mold after the outer shell is opened, resulting in an excessively large opening. This makes it easy for particles to enter during production and end-use, causing the microphone to malfunction.
Multiple sound inlet holes are created on the cover plate using laser drilling and then bonded to the PCB board. Combined with inner chamfers, outer chamfers, and bevel designs, the sound inlet channel is optimized. Adhesive is used to connect the cover plate and the PCB board, reducing the chance of particles entering.
It effectively prevents particles from entering, extends the microphone's lifespan, and improves production efficiency and the reliability of terminal equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acoustic technology, and in particular to a silicon microphone with a side-entry housing. Background Technology
[0002] The function of a side-entry microphone is to enable the microphone to receive sound from the side. This is very useful in certain specific application scenarios, such as when the device needs to be placed near a wall or other obstacles. It is mainly used in TWS earphones, mobile phones, etc. By changing the way the sound enters the channel, the risk of particles entering the product is reduced, and the side-entry function of the silicon microphone is finally realized.
[0003] However, current side-entry microphone products have holes pre-drilled in the outer shell before being molded and pressed together, resulting in large openings that can easily allow particles to enter during production and end-use, causing microphone failure. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a side-entry silicon microphone with a housing, which aims to solve the technical problem that in the current side-entry products, the housing is first opened and then pressed into the mold, resulting in a large opening that makes it easy for particles to enter during production and end-use, leading to microphone failure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a side-entry silicon microphone with a shell, comprising a cover plate and a PCB board. The cover plate has a receiving cavity, and the four bottom corners of the receiving cavity have inner chamfers. One end of the cover plate has multiple sound inlet holes. The cover plate is bonded to the PCB board and is located above the PCB board.
[0006] The distribution shape of the plurality of sound inlets is one or more combinations of rectangles, squares and circles.
[0007] The outer side of the cover plate has a bevel.
[0008] The cover plate has outward chamfers at its four apex corners.
[0009] The adhesive used to bond the cover plate to the PCB board is an adhesive.
[0010] The PCB board is made of one or more of the following materials: FR-4, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, CEM-3, aluminum-based PCB, ceramic substrate, flexible board, high TG FR-4, metal substrate, radio frequency board, Rogers, and carbon fiber.
[0011] This utility model discloses a side-entry silicon microphone, comprising a cover plate and a PCB board. The cover plate has a receiving cavity with inward chamfers at its four bottom corners. Multiple sound inlet holes are formed at one end of the cover plate. The cover plate is bonded to the PCB board and positioned above it. The holes are formed using laser drilling, resulting in smaller holes compared to traditional side-entry housings. The multiple-hole design optimizes the sound inlet channel, effectively preventing particle entry during production and significantly reducing the likelihood of particle entry during end-user use, thus extending the overall lifespan of the microphone. This method effectively solves the technical problem of current side-entry products where the housing is pre-drilled before molding, resulting in large holes that easily allow particles to enter during production and end-user use, leading to microphone failure.
