Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts, specifically relating to an audio switching drive circuit for a magnetoelectric loudspeaker. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional magneto-electric loudspeakers have limited functionality, often only capable of playing a single type of sound signal and unable to switch between different sound modes according to various application scenarios and needs. For example, in the automotive industry, loudspeakers need to be able to switch between playing horn sounds and emitting low-speed warning sounds. Existing solutions often employ software control or complex system integration to achieve sound switching, which not only increases costs but may also lead to reduced system stability and slow response times. Meanwhile, multi-functional magneto-electric loudspeakers that control sound switching purely through hardware circuitry are rare, and those that do exist suffer from drawbacks such as complex circuit structures and poor switching performance. Utility Model Content

[0024] The power supply branch has the following connection: an external +13V power supply is input to the IN pin of the power module U1 via diode D1, and the OUT pin of the power module U1 outputs +5V power to supply the audio signal branch and the power amplification branch.

[0025] The power module uses an LDO converter chip, and high-performance, highly stable chips are selected during the selection process.

[0026] The audio signal branch circuit has the following connections: the VCC_PWM pin of the voice storage module U2 is connected to the +5V power supply and grounded through capacitors C1 and C2 respectively; the VCCD pin of the voice storage module U2 is connected to the +5V power supply and grounded after being filtered through capacitors C3 and C4 respectively (to make the output voltage more stable); the output terminals SPK+ and SPK- of the voice storage module U2 output the first audio differential digital signal (a1, b1) as the output terminals, which is then fed to the power amplifier branch through the RC filter branch.

[0027] Working principle: The voice storage module uses a chip with large storage capacity, high sampling rate and low power consumption to perform internal digital processing of audio signals, convert digital audio data into pulse code modulation (PCM) signals, and output a pair of differential signals (a1, b1).

[0028] The power amplification branch connections are as follows: the SDZ and FAULTZ pins of power amplifier module U3 are both connected to the +5V power supply output from the power supply branch via resistor R5; the VCC pin is connected to an external +13V power supply; the SPK+ and SPK- pins are connected to the RINP and RINN pins of power module U3 via RC filters, capacitors C6 and C8 respectively; the BSPR pin is connected to the OUTNR pin via capacitor C9, and the BSPL pin is connected to the OUTNL pin via capacitor C10; the OUTNR and OUTNL pins output the first audio differential analog signals (a2, b2), which are then connected to the switching drive branch via an LC filter. The GAIN / SLV pins are also connected to an external resistor for gain adjustment.

[0029] Working principle: The power amplifier module uses a highly efficient and stable chip with adjustable gain via external resistors to amplify audio signals.

[0030] The RC filter branch has two identical circuit structures: the SPK+ pin is connected to capacitor C6 via resistor R1, and a wire is also led out between resistor R1 and capacitor C6 and grounded via capacitor C5; the SPK- pin is connected to capacitor C8 via resistor R2, and a wire is also led out between resistor R2 and capacitor C8 and grounded via capacitor C7.

[0031] Working principle: The first audio differential digital signal (a1, b1) is filtered by two RC filters R1, C5 and R2, C7, and then the PCM signal (a1, b1) is converted into an analog audio signal for output.

[0032] The LC filter branch has the following connections: the OUTNR pin is connected to the switching drive branch through inductor L1, and inductor L1 is also grounded through capacitor C11; the OUTNL pin is connected to the switching drive branch through inductor L2, and inductor L2 is also grounded through capacitor C12.

[0033] Working principle: Signals processed by the LC filter module are less susceptible to conducted interference from the line.

[0034] The external resistor adjustment gain branch has the following connection: GVDD is grounded through external resistors R3 and R4, and the GAIN / SLV pin is connected between resistors R3 and R4.

[0035] Working principle: The signal gain of the power amplifier module is adjusted by external resistors R3 and R4, including processing of single-ended and differential signals, and processing of different amplification gains.

[0036] The switching drive branch uses a signal switching module U4. It has two pairs of input terminals.

The other pair (NC1, NC2) is connected to the two outputs of the LC filter branch of the second audio circuit to acquire the second audio differential digital signals (c1, d1). The COM1 and COM2 pins are connected to the internal coils of the magnetoelectric speaker as outputs of the switching drive branch.

[0037] Working principle: The signal switching module U4 selects a converter (CO) type relay with high sensitivity, high reliability, and long mechanical life. The signal switching module U4 includes switching between two different sound modes (first audio and second audio), selecting the signal to be played and transmitting it to the speaker coil. These two sounds do not sound simultaneously.

[0038] In this example, the power supply module U1 uses a TPL820F50 chip; the voice storage module U2 uses an ISD2360 chip; the power amplifier module U3 uses a TPA3116 chip; the conversion relay U4 uses an AGQ200 chip; surface mount resistors are used, ceramic capacitors are used, and power inductors are used.

[0039] Furthermore, the magnetoelectric loudspeaker in this example can adopt a conventional structure. Its components include a front cover, located at the front of the loudspeaker, primarily serving a protective and decorative function; a sound cavity beneath the front cover, which is the space for sound propagation and resonance, and whose shape and size affect the loudspeaker's sound quality and timbre; a diaphragm and coil beneath the sound cavity, where a magnetic field is generated by current flowing through the coil, causing the diaphragm to vibrate, thereby pushing air to generate sound waves and emitting sound outwards. The diaphragm and coil are glued to a pressure plate using an adhesive process. The pressure plate is used to fix the diaphragm and coil, ensuring their relative positional stability during operation, and also provides some support; an upper clamping plate, pole pieces, neodymium iron boron magnets, and U-shaped iron magnets form a magnetic circuit unit, which provides a strong magnetic field; the magnetic circuit unit is fixed together with the front cover and pressure plate by screws, forming a stable structure that provides the necessary conditions for the coil to vibrate in the magnetic field.
