Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing fixture technology, and in particular to a waterproof reliability testing fixture for a miniature loudspeaker. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread use of smartphones and mobile devices, the market demand for miniature speakers is constantly increasing. At the same time, more and more users want their devices to be waterproof, necessitating reliability and waterproof testing for miniature speakers.
[0003] During reliability and waterproof testing, the miniature speaker product needs to be placed in a sealed fixture. The sealed fixture consists of a tightly connected upper mold and a lower mold. After the upper mold and the lower mold are connected, a receiving groove is formed at the interface. After the miniature speaker to be tested is placed in the receiving groove, a rear cavity is defined within the receiving groove. A sealing ring is set at the interface between the upper mold and the lower mold. The receiving groove is located in the hollow area of the sealing ring. Because the sealing ring has a certain deformation and the cross-section of the receiving groove is relatively large, when the upper mold and the lower mold are tightly connected, the volume of the rear cavity will decrease significantly. This will cause the internal air pressure of the miniature speaker product placed in the receiving groove to increase significantly, causing the diaphragm of the miniature speaker product to be pushed outward or even break in the middle, affecting the waterproof reliability test.
