Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acoustic equipment technology, specifically to asymmetric acoustic horns. Background Technology
[0002] In a sound reinforcement system, the acoustic horn is a key component, its function being to effectively radiate and propagate sound emitted from a sound source, thereby increasing the sound's propagation distance and coverage.
[0003] Traditional acoustic horns mostly employ a symmetrical structural design, which has some limitations in terms of sound radiation.
[0004] On the one hand, the acoustic horn with a symmetrical structure is difficult to optimize the sound energy distribution in both the far and near fields at the same time. When amplifying sound in the far field, there may be a problem of high frequency attenuation being too fast, resulting in insufficient clarity and penetration of the sound. When amplifying sound in the near field, the sound energy may be overly concentrated, resulting in uneven sound received by the front row listeners, with some areas having too much sound and others having too little sound, affecting the listening experience.
[0005] On the other hand, traditional acoustic horns are difficult to precisely control the radiation direction of sound waves, and cannot effectively guide and distribute sound waves according to different usage scenarios and sound reinforcement needs, resulting in low sound propagation efficiency and unsatisfactory sound reinforcement effect. Utility Model Content
[0006] (I) Problems to be solved
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide an asymmetric acoustic horn that is easy to operate and use, can accurately control the direction of sound wave radiation, meet the sound amplification needs of different distances, and optimize the sound energy distribution in the far and near fields.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: an asymmetric acoustic horn, including a shell, one end of which forms a sound source outlet with a gradually increasing diameter, and the other end of which forms a sound source inlet;
[0010] The inner wall of the outer shell forms a sound-speaking space. Several grid plates are connected to the lower part of the sound-speaking space, and a sound guide plate is connected to the middle part to distinguish the upper and lower functional areas of the sound-speaking space.
[0011] As an improvement, both the sound guide plate and the grid plate are extended along the sound transmission direction to the sound source outlet.
[0012] As an improvement, both the sound guide plate and the grid plate are arranged in an arc shape.
[0013] As an improvement, a sound mounting ring is fitted on the outer side of the sound source inlet.
[0014] As an improvement, the sound guide plate is positioned opposite to the inner arc surface of the uppermost grid plate.
[0015] As an improvement, the end of the sound source outlet is rectangular.
[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are: through the unique structural design of left-right symmetry and top-bottom asymmetry, as well as the reasonable layout of the sound guide plate and grid plate, the radiation direction of the sound wave can be precisely controlled, so that the sound can propagate in the predetermined direction and range, thereby improving the sound propagation efficiency and sound amplification effect.
[0018] The asymmetrical division of labor between the upper and lower sections optimizes the sound energy distribution in both the far and near fields. In the far field, the sound has sufficient penetration and clarity; in the near field, the sound coverage is uniform, avoiding excessive concentration of sound energy. This gives the overall sound reinforcement system both penetration and detail, providing listeners with a better auditory experience. Attached Figure Description
