[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or components / elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0020] The following describes a differential drive horn according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of a differential drive horn provided in one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is an exploded view of a differential-driven horn according to another embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1-2 As shown, the differential drive loudspeaker includes: an upper washer 1, an upper magnet 2 disposed below the upper washer 1, a magnetic post 3 disposed below the upper magnet 2, a lower magnet 4 disposed below the magnetic post 3, a lower washer 5 disposed below the lower magnet 4, a flux ring 6 fitted on the outer end faces of the upper magnet 2 and the lower magnet 4, a voice coil 7 fitted on the outer end faces of the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 5, a metal ring 8 fitted on the outside of the voice coil 7, and a frame 9 disposed outside the metal ring 8.
[0022] Specifically, the upper magnet 2 and the lower magnet 4 form two magnetic gaps, within which two sets of voice coil windings move. The total area of the two windings is doubled compared to a traditional single winding, resulting in twice the heat radiation capacity and stronger heat dissipation, which is then rapidly conducted away through the frame. The two magnetic gaps provide two magnetic fields, and when the two windings are energized, two driving forces are generated in the magnetic gaps, which are much greater than the traditional single driving force. This results in more converted sound energy, naturally improving the speaker's sensitivity. The two magnetic circuit systems are compact, sharing the magnetic core and flux ring, significantly reducing the weight of the entire transducer and making installation and transportation much easier.
[0023] It should be noted that within the same frame, the two magnetic circuit systems form two magnetic gaps with opposite magnetic fields, and each gap has the same magnetic field strength as a conventional single magnetic circuit design; each magnetic gap contains a voice coil winding, and the two windings have the same size and impedance, but their directions are opposite to each other.
[0024] According to this invention, the differential-driven loudspeaker uses two magnetic circuit systems sharing the same frame, significantly reducing the overall weight of the loudspeaker and making it less bulky. Sharing the same vibration system reduces energy loss, increases efficiency, and improves sensitivity. Furthermore, the magnetic field strength generated by the two magnetic circuit systems is far greater than that of a single magnetic circuit, providing more energy and further enhancing sensitivity. The dual voice coil structure creates twice the heat dissipation area, resulting in faster heat dissipation and increased power handling capacity.
[0025] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flux ring 6 is an aluminum ring, which can reduce harmonic distortion and reduce the high-frequency inductance generated during the movement of the voice coil.
[0026] Specifically, aluminum flux rings can reduce the weight of the product.
[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the metal ring 8 is a U-shaped iron ring.
[0028] Specifically, the U-shape refers to the longitudinal section of one side of the metal ring 8. It can be made of iron or steel; when iron is used, it can be called a "U-shaped iron ring".
[0029] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the material of the basin frame 9 is aluminum.
[0030] Specifically, aluminum baskets can reduce the weight of the product, and aluminum has good thermal conductivity, which helps to dissipate internal heat, and good heat dissipation effectively improves power.
[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper magnet 2 and the lower magnet 4 are neodymium iron boron magnets.
[0032] Specifically, neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) materials are relatively lightweight, which can reduce product weight. Furthermore, NdFeB has good magnetic properties and offers excellent cost-effectiveness.
[0033] Based on the above embodiments, embodiments of this application also propose an audio system, including: a differential drive speaker as described in the above embodiments.
[0034] According to this invention, the differential-driven speaker uses two magnetic circuit systems sharing the same frame, significantly reducing the overall weight of the speaker and making it less bulky. Sharing the same vibration system reduces energy loss, increases efficiency, and improves sensitivity. Furthermore, the magnetic field strength generated by the two magnetic circuit systems is far greater than that of a single magnetic circuit, providing more power and further enhancing sensitivity. The dual voice coil structure creates twice the heat dissipation area, resulting in faster heat dissipation and increased power handling capacity.
[0035] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this application. In addition, this application can be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this application are within the protection scope of this application.
