Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroacoustic converter technology, and in particular to a loudspeaker module. Background Technology
[0002] A speaker module includes a module housing and a speaker unit housed within the module housing. The speaker unit's frame has exposed pads electrically connected to the voice coil. In the prior art, speaker modules are generally connected to an external power supply via an FPC board. The FPC board is soldered to the exposed pads for conductivity. However, during the soldering of the FPC board to the exposed pads, problems such as cold solder joints and solder ball explosions occur. Cold solder joints sometimes show no connection abnormalities during factory testing, but open circuits only appear during customer use, leading to customer complaints. Furthermore, solder balls of varying sizes are generally produced during soldering, a phenomenon that has been difficult to completely eliminate. If these scattered solder balls enter the speaker unit, they can cause noise, resulting in yield loss or customer complaints. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a speaker module with a high production yield.

[0006] The FPC board has a second through hole for the hot melt pillar to pass through and contact pads for making contact with the exposed pads;
[0007] The FPC board and the basin frame are fixed together by hot-melt column.
[0008] In one embodiment, the second perforation extends through the contact pad.
[0009] In one embodiment, the first through hole is located near the center of the exposed pad; or, the first through hole is located at the center of the exposed pad.
[0010] In one embodiment, the second through hole is disposed near the center of the contact pad; or, the second through hole is disposed at the center of the contact pad.
[0011] In one embodiment, the basin rack has a retaining wall disposed near the exposed pads, and a receiving gap is formed between the retaining wall and the FPC board.
[0012] In one embodiment, the top surface of the retaining wall is positioned below the top surface of the hot-melt column.
[0013] In one embodiment, the retaining wall is disposed along the edge of the exposed pad.
[0014] In one embodiment, the retaining wall and the basin stand are integrally formed into a single structure.
[0015] In one embodiment, the system further includes a module housing, which includes a module upper shell. The speaker unit is installed inside the module upper shell. The module upper shell has a plurality of positioning posts, and the FPC board has positioning holes that mate with the positioning posts.
[0016] In one embodiment, the module housing further includes a lower module housing that is fixedly connected to the upper module housing.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This speaker module has a novel structure, which is different from the existing technology of welding the FPC board to the exposed pads for conduction. In this speaker module, the speaker unit has a hot melt pillar that penetrates the exposed pads. The FPC board is fixedly connected to the frame by hot melting, so that the contact pads on the FPC board and the exposed pads on the frame can make surface contact and conduct electricity. This effectively eliminates problems such as cold solder joints and solder balls caused by welding, which helps to improve production yield and reduce manufacturing costs. Moreover, compared with welding, hot melting connection is more convenient for the assembly and production of speaker modules, which helps to improve the production efficiency of speaker modules.

[0032] Example 1
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a speaker module includes a module housing, a speaker unit 2, and an FPC board 3. The module housing includes an upper module shell 1, and the speaker unit 2 is installed inside the upper module shell 1. When the speaker module is a semi-cavity module, the entire module housing is the upper module shell 1. When the speaker module is a full-cavity module, the module housing also includes a lower module shell (not shown in the figure) fixedly connected to the upper module shell 1. The lower module shell, the speaker unit 2, and the upper module shell 1 together form the rear sound cavity of the module.
[0034] To facilitate the positioning and installation of the FPC board 3 and the module housing, in this embodiment, the upper housing 1 of the module is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 11, and the FPC board 3 is provided with positioning holes 31 that cooperate with the positioning posts 11.
[0035] The loudspeaker unit 2 includes a frame 21 and a vibrating assembly and a magnetic circuit assembly respectively connected to the frame 21. The vibrating assembly includes a voice coil and a diaphragm assembly connecting the voice coil and the frame 21. The magnetic circuit assembly has a magnetic gap for the voice coil to move. The frame 21 is provided with an exposed solder pad 22 and a hot-melt post 23. The exposed solder pad 22 is electrically connected to the voice coil. The exposed solder pad 22 has a first through hole 221 for the hot-melt post 23 to pass through. The FPC board 3 has a second through hole 32 for the hot-melt post 23 to pass through. And contact pads (not shown in the figure) for contacting and communicating with the exposed pads 22; the FPC board 3 and the frame 21 are fixed by hot-melting the hot-melt pillars 23. Specifically, after the hot-melt pillars 23 are hot-melted, a mushroom head 231 is formed on the side of the FPC board 3 away from the exposed pads 22. The mushroom head 231 limits the FPC board 3, thereby ensuring that the contact pads on the FPC board 3 and the exposed pads 22 on the frame 21 are inseparable, thereby ensuring that the FPC board 3 can achieve stable electrical communication with the voice coil.
[0036] The second perforation 32 penetrates the contact pad, which allows the mushroom head 231 to apply force to the contact pad better, improves the contact pad lifting phenomenon, and helps to improve the stability of electrical conduction between the FPC board 3 and the speaker unit 2.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the first through-hole 221 is disposed near the center of the exposed pad 22; or, the first through-hole 221 is disposed at the center of the exposed pad 22. The second through-hole 32 is disposed near the center of the contact pad; or, the second through-hole 32 is disposed at the center of the contact pad.
[0038] The frame 21 has a baffle 211 located near the exposed solder pad 22. A receiving gap 212 is formed between the baffle 211 and the FPC board 3. The receiving gap 212 can contain the excess liquid material generated when the hot melt column 23 is hot melted, thereby ensuring that the liquid material does not flow into the speaker unit 2 and cause noise when the speaker unit 2 is working, which helps to ensure the production yield of the speaker module to a greater extent.
[0039] Preferably, the top surface of the retaining wall 211 is lower than the top surface of the hot-melt column 23, which can effectively prevent the retaining wall 211 from interfering with the hot-melt gun head. In other embodiments, the top surface of the retaining wall 211 may be higher than or flush with the top surface of the hot-melt gun.
[0040] Optional. The retaining wall 211 is provided along the edge of the exposed pad 22.
[0041] To facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the speaker unit 2, it is preferable that the baffle 211 and the frame 21 are integrally formed as a single structure.
[0042] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
