Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loudspeaker technology, and in particular to an FPC flexible board loudspeaker. Background Technology
[0002] Existing electronic devices often require speakers to output audio. The speaker needs to be electrically connected to the device's motherboard to convert analog signals into sound waves under the control of the motherboard's control module. Therefore, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the speaker and the motherboard is crucial for the speaker's playback quality. Existing speakers have the following drawbacks: 1. Most existing speakers use rigid PCBs for soldering. Rigid PCBs are prone to issues like cold solder joints and poor soldering reliability. Furthermore, rigid PCBs require sufficient rigid support space, making them difficult to adapt to miniaturized speaker designs. 2. Speaker tuning meshes are mostly fixed with adhesive. Over long-term use, the adhesive is susceptible to aging due to temperature and humidity changes, causing the tuning mesh to detach and affecting normal speaker operation. Improper adhesive application can also overflow and contaminate the tuning mesh, clogging the mesh openings, damaging the acoustic structure, and degrading sound quality. Additionally, adhesive fixation makes disassembly difficult, hindering cleaning and replacement of the tuning mesh. Utility Model Content
