Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Miniature speakers are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and smartwatches.

[0003] In existing technologies, the frame and edge washer of miniature loudspeakers are generally glued together. However, some miniature loudspeakers, in order to increase the volume of the edge magnetic structure in the magnetic circuit assembly, will choose to set a notch in the frame to allow part of the edge magnetic structure to protrude. In this case, the edge magnetic structure is convex in shape. The inner top surface of the notch on the frame is glued to the top surface of the edge washer. In order to improve the stability of the bonding between the frame and the edge washer, the frame is made thicker, so that there is a larger bonding area between the inner top surface of the notch and the edge washer. However, the thicker frame will cause the frame to occupy too much space, so that the volume of the edge magnetic structure cannot be set larger, resulting in unsatisfactory acoustic performance of the miniature loudspeaker. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a miniature loudspeaker with good acoustic performance.

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

[0006] A metal basin stand, wherein the metal basin stand has a notch that connects to the bottom surface of the metal basin stand;

[0007] A magnetic circuit assembly, comprising a yoke and a side magnetic structure, wherein the side magnetic structure is generally convex in shape, and a portion of the side magnetic structure extends into the notch; the side magnetic structure includes a side magnet and a side washer, the side magnet connecting the side washer and the yoke; and the portion of the side washer extending into the notch is welded and fixed to the metal basin frame.

[0008] In one embodiment, the washer includes a protrusion and a recessed portion connected together. The protrusion is located in the notch, and the recessed portion is located inside the metal basin frame. The length of the protrusion is less than the length of the recessed portion, so that the washer is U-shaped. The top of the protrusion is welded to the top edge of the notch.

[0009] In one embodiment, at least one end of the protrusion is welded to the side of the notch.

[0010] In one embodiment, one end of the protrusion is welded to one side of the notch, and the other end of the protrusion is welded to the other side of the notch.

[0011] In one embodiment, the top of the protrusion forms a first weld with the top edge of the notch, and the end of the protrusion forms a second weld with the side edge of the notch, wherein the first weld and the second weld are connected.

[0012] In one embodiment, the inner region of the top surface of the edge washer is provided with a clearance groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the device further includes a vibration assembly comprising a connected diaphragm assembly and a voice coil, the voice coil being located inside the metal frame, and the diaphragm assembly being connected to the metal frame.

[0014] In one embodiment, a centering support is further included, the top surface of which is connected to the bottom surface of the metal frame.

[0015] In one embodiment, the yoke has a flange, the top surface of which is bonded and fixed to the bottom surface of the centering support plate.

[0016] In one embodiment, the centering support includes an inner mounting portion, a cantilever portion, and an outer mounting portion connected in sequence. The outer mounting portion is connected to the metal frame and the flange, and has an exposed outer solder pad. The inner mounting portion is fixedly connected to the voice coil and has an inner solder pad that is soldered and connected to the voice coil. The inner solder pad is connected to the outer solder pad.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This miniature loudspeaker has a novel structure. Under the same outer contour size and structural strength, the wall thickness of the metal frame can be made smaller than that of the plastic frame, thereby allowing the volume of the side magnet structure to be set larger, which in turn improves the BL value of the miniature loudspeaker and enhances its acoustic performance. Moreover, since the metal frame and the side washer are welded and fixed, the metal frame and the side washer can also form a more stable connection, which is conducive to improving the structural stability of the miniature loudspeaker.
