[0021] The utility model will be further illustrated below in combination with the drawings and implementation modes.
[0022] The utility model provides a kind of MEMS microphone 100, in combination Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 And Figure 5 As shown in, it includes shell 10 with accommodation space 101 and the ASIC chip 20 and the MEMS chip 30 with back cavity 102 accommodated in accommodation space 101.The shell 10 includes shell body 11 and PCB board 12 with shell body 11 cover connection to form accommodation space 101.PCB board 12 is provided with first sound hole 121 that is through PCB board 12 and is communicated with back cavity 102, and first sound hole 121 is used to communicate with outside so as to flow into sound.
[0023] MEMS chip 30 includes substrate 31 and diaphragm 32 arranged on substrate 31.Diaphragm 32 divides accommodation space 101 into back cavity 102 and front cavity 103, to ensure that the air pressure of front cavity 103 and back cavity 102 is balanced, several air holes 321 will be opened on diaphragm 32, to realize the smooth flow of gas between front cavity 103 and back cavity 102.
[0024] MEMS chip 30 and ASIC chip 20 are connected by electricity, so that the signal output by MEMS chip 30 can be processed by ASIC chip 20, and ASIC chip 20 is electrically connected with PCB board 12, so that the electrical signal output by MEMS chip 30 is processed by ASIC chip 20 and outputted externally.
[0025] The MEMS microphone 100 further comprises a waterproof film 40 fixed between the MEMS chip 30 and the PCB board 12 and covering the first sound hole 121, the waterproof film 40 being used to block dust, liquid and other foreign matters in the external environment from entering the back cavity 102 of the MEMS chip 30. This helps to keep the MEMS chip 30 having a clean and tidy back cavity 102 environment, thereby ensuring that the MEMS chip 30 can quickly and accurately sense the sound pressure and convert the sound pressure into an electrical signal. At the same time, the waterproof film 40 can intercept the impact force brought by strong airflow to the MEMS chip 30, ensuring the stability of the MEMS chip 30 in converting the sound pressure into an electrical signal, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the MEMS microphone 100 in use. In the embodiment, the MEMS chip 30 completely covers the range of the waterproof film 40 in the orthographic projection along the direction towards the PCB board 12.
[0026] In the prior art, the waterproof film directly fixed between the MEMS chip and the PCB board will be damaged due to the direct impact of water pressure when the water pressure enters the MEMS microphone through the sound hole, so that the waterproof effect of the waterproof film is lost, thereby reducing the performance of the MEMS microphone. In order to solve the above problems, the MEMS microphone 100 further comprises a support plate 50 adhesively fixed to the PCB board 12 and covering the first sound hole 121, the support plate 50 being provided with a second sound hole 501 penetrating the support plate 50 and communicating with the first sound hole 121, wherein the first sound hole 121 and the second sound hole 501 are arranged staggered with each other. The first sound hole 121 and the second sound hole 501 are arranged staggered with each other in order to shield the water pressure entering from the first sound hole 121 through the support plate 50, buffer the impact of the water pressure on the waterproof film 40, and play a function of protecting the waterproof film 40, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the MEMS microphone 100. The number of the first sound hole 121 and the second sound hole 501 can be two or more, a plurality of first sound holes 121 being conducive to preliminarily blocking the foreign matters in the external environment from entering the MEMS microphone 100 through the first sound hole 121, and a plurality of second sound holes 501 being capable of reducing the impact of the water pressure, while each of the first sound hole 121 and each of the second sound hole 501 are arranged staggered with each other, avoiding the waterproof film 40 from being damaged due to the impact of the water pressure.

The groove 122 can further buffer the impact force of water pressure on the waterproof film 40, reduce the phenomenon of damaging the waterproof film 40, significantly improve the reliability of the MEMS microphone 100, and realize the high performance of the MEMS microphone 100. At the same time, the groove 122 also helps to reduce the depth of the first sound hole 121 on the PCB 12, thereby well reducing the acoustic resistance of the sound propagation in the first sound hole 121, helping the sound propagation in the first sound hole 121, and thus improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the MEMS microphone 100.
[0028] In the embodiment, the waterproof film 40 covers the groove 122, and the waterproof film 40 comprises a fixed part 401 fixed to the support plate 50 and an intermediate part 402 connected with the fixed part 401, and the intermediate part is arranged in a spaced manner relative to the support plate, thereby providing a vibration space for the waterproof film 40.
[0029] In the embodiment, the ASIC chip 20 is fixed to the PCB 12. In other embodiments, the ASIC chip 20 can be embedded in the PCB 12, thereby reducing the volume of the occupied space of the ASIC chip 20 and being beneficial to the miniaturization of the product. In the embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the waterproof film 40 along the direction towards the PCB completely covers the range of the support plate 50. In other embodiments, the size of the support plate 50 can also be the same as the size of the PCB 12, and thus the ASIC chip 20 can also be fixed to the support plate 50, the ASIC chip 20 is electrically connected with the PCB 12 through the support plate 50, and the wires connected between the ASIC chip 20 and the PCB 12 can be reduced, thereby optimizing the layout of the internal lines of the MEMS microphone 100. At the same time, the support plate 50 is fixedly connected with the shell 11, and the stability of the support plate 50 can also be improved.
