[0002] Sound-generating units are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones and headphones, primarily for making calls, playing music, and playing videos. As users' demands for their terminal electronic devices increase, so too do their performance requirements for sound-generating units.

[0003] To improve the performance of the driver unit, most existing drivers adopt a large amplitude architecture design. Some drivers include a centering support plate, which connects the voice coil to the external power supply and corrects the voice coil's roll vibration. In existing technology, the centering support plate is generally located outside the voice coil. When the driver unit adopts a large amplitude design, the centering support plate must have sufficient overhang length to avoid stress concentration and wire breakage. However, the centering support plate occupies the space of the magnet outside the voice coil, preventing further improvement in the driver unit's performance. Utility Model Content

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The 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, a centering support 4, and a magnetic circuit assembly 5. The magnetic circuit assembly 5 is connected to the frame 1, and the diaphragm assembly 3 is connected to the voice coil 2 and the frame 1. The centering support 4 is fixedly connected to the voice coil 2. The centering support 4 includes an inner fixing part 41, a cantilever part 42, a lifting part 43, and an outer fixing part 44 connected in sequence. The centering support 4 is provided with a first solder pad 45 and a second solder pad 46 electrically connected. The first solder pad 45 is provided on the inner fixing part 41, and the second solder pad 46 is provided on the outer fixing part 44. The outer fixing part 44 is fixed to the diaphragm assembly 3. The second solder pad 46 is connected to the voice coil 2. Voice coil 2 is turned on; the magnetic circuit assembly 5 includes a yoke 51 and a central magnetic structure 52 and a side magnetic structure 53 respectively disposed on the yoke 51. The side magnetic structure 53 is disposed around the central magnetic structure 52 and forms a magnetic gap between the side magnetic structure 53 and the central magnetic structure 52 for the voice coil 2 to move. The central magnetic structure 52 includes a lower central magnet 521, a central washer 522 and an upper central magnet 523 stacked and connected from bottom to top. The bottom of the central magnetic structure 52 is provided with a first clearance groove 524 for avoiding the cantilever portion 42. The central washer 522 has a mounting portion 5221 for fixed connection with the inner fixing portion 41. The yoke 51 has a through hole 511 corresponding to the first pad 45.

[0040] The edge magnet structure 53 includes an edge magnet and an edge washer. The edge washer is connected to the frame 1, and the edge magnet is connected to the edge washer and the yoke 51. In a preferred embodiment, the edge magnet structure 53 is in the shape of a complete ring, which can maximize the use of the outer space of the voice coil 2 and improve the performance of the sound unit.

[0041] In practical applications, one end of an external electrical connector (such as an FPC, cable, etc.) passes through the through hole 511 and is soldered to the first pad 45 for conduction, while the other end of the external electrical connector is connected to an external power source.

[0042] Optionally, the sound-generating unit also includes a frame 6, which is connected to the diaphragm assembly 3 and the voice coil 2 respectively. The external fixing part 44 is fixed on the frame 6, that is, the external fixing part 44 is indirectly connected to the diaphragm assembly 3.

[0043] To prevent the cantilever portion 42 from accidentally contacting the yoke 51 during deformation, the top surface of the yoke 51 has a second clearance groove 512 corresponding to the first clearance groove 524, and the second clearance groove 512 is connected to the first clearance groove 524. Preferably, a portion of the second clearance groove 512 is located below the voice coil 2. The second clearance groove 512 not only avoids the cantilever portion 42 but also avoids the voice coil 2, thereby preventing the cantilever portion 42 and / or the voice coil 2 from colliding with the yoke 51 when the sound-generating unit vibrates with large amplitude, which helps to improve the working stability of the sound-generating unit to a greater extent.

[0044] The first clearance groove 524 includes a lower clearance groove 5241 disposed on the lower central magnet 521 and an upper clearance groove 5242 disposed at the bottom of the central washer 522. The lower clearance groove 5241 and the upper clearance groove 5242 communicate to form the first clearance groove 524. In this embodiment, the upper clearance groove 5242 communicates with the top surface of the central washer 522, which not only facilitates the processing of the central washer 522, but also allows the cantilever portion 42 to have a sufficiently large deformation space. In other embodiments, the upper clearance groove 5242 may not communicate with the top surface of the central washer 522. In this case, the central washer 522 can exert a better magnetic conduction effect, thereby further improving the performance of the sound-generating unit.

[0045] The first clearance groove 524 connects the opposite sides of the central magnetic structure 52. In this embodiment, there is one centering support plate 4 and two external fixing parts 44, which are arranged far apart from each other. In one or more embodiments, there may be two or more centering support plates 4.

[0046] The upper central magnet 523 has a convex cross-section, and the central region of the diaphragm assembly 3 is connected to the upper central magnet 523. In this embodiment, the lower central magnet 521 includes a connected lower magnet and an upper magnet, with the lower magnet located below the upper magnet. The lower magnet and the upper magnet can be either an integrally formed structure or separate structures bonded together.

[0047] To improve the stability of the connection between the centering support 4 and the voice coil 2, at least a portion of the lifting portion 43 is fixedly connected to the voice coil 2. In this embodiment, the end of the cantilever portion 42 away from the inner fixing portion 41 is located below the voice coil 2. Preferably, the end of the cantilever portion 42 away from the inner fixing portion 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the voice coil 2.

[0048] Optionally, the top surface of the edge magnetic structure 53 has a clearance groove 531 corresponding to the second pad 46, the clearance groove 531 being used to avoid the welding point between the lead of the voice coil 2 and the second pad 46.

[0049] In one or more embodiments, the lifting portion 43 is located outside the voice coil 2, and the side magnet structure 53 has a clearance notch 532 for avoiding the lifting portion 43, so as to prevent the side magnet structure 53 from scratching the lifting portion 43.

[0050] 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 inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
