Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroacoustic converter technology, and in particular to a sound generating unit. Background Technology

[0002] Sound generator units are widely used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and hearing aids. Current sound generator unit designs generally use a diaphragm as a vibrating component to drive air to produce sound. Due to the limited volume of the rear cavity of the sound generator module, the low-frequency response of existing sound generator modules is insufficient, resulting in poor listening experience. To solve this problem, the industry usually fills the rear cavity of the sound generator module with sound-absorbing particles to increase the virtual rear cavity, thereby reducing the F0 and improving low-frequency sensitivity.

[0003] With the same rear cavity volume, the smaller the particle size of the sound-absorbing particles, the more sound-absorbing particles can be poured into the rear cavity, and the larger the total surface area of ​​the sound-absorbing particles poured into the rear cavity, thus significantly increasing the virtual rear cavity and reducing F0. Reducing the particle size of the sound-absorbing particles requires a reduction in the aperture of the vent holes in the mesh cover on the magnetic cover of the sound-generating unit; otherwise, the sound-absorbing particles could pass through the vent holes and enter the interior of the sound-generating unit, affecting its normal sound production. However, due to limitations in stamping technology, it is currently impossible to stamp out vent holes of smaller size, which undoubtedly limits the reduction in the particle size of the sound-absorbing particles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a sound-generating unit that can more effectively isolate small-diameter sound-absorbing particles.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a sound-generating unit, comprising:

[0006] The body has a through hole;

[0007] A mesh cover is disposed on the body and covers a portion of the through hole. The mesh cover includes at least one first baffle, the edge of which is provided with a first notch, which communicates with the through hole to form a first vent hole.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mesh cover includes a plurality of first baffles arranged in a row.

[0009] In one embodiment, two first baffles that are close to each other are in contact with each other, and the openings of the first notches on each of the first baffles face the same direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the mesh cover further includes a plurality of second baffles arranged in a row, the edges of the second baffles having second notches, the second notches communicating with the through holes to form second ventilation holes.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first baffle and the second baffle in the mesh cover are staggered, and the opening of the first notch on the first baffle is aligned with the opening of the second notch on the adjacent second baffle, so that the side of the first vent hole is connected to the side of the second vent hole.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first baffle in the mesh is mirror-symmetrical to the second baffle adjacent to it.

[0013] In one embodiment, there are multiple through holes, and each through hole is provided with a corresponding mesh cover.

[0014] In one embodiment, the through hole is located on the bottom surface, side surface, or the junction of the bottom surface and side surface of the body.

[0015] In one embodiment, the body has a magnetic shield, the through hole is located on the magnetic shield, and the mesh cover is disposed on the magnetic shield.

[0016] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the magnetic cover has a pressure groove, and the mesh cover is installed in the pressure groove.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] Given the limitations of existing sound-generating units in terms of stamping processes, which restrict the reduction of pore size and the resulting contradiction between reducing the particle size of sound-absorbing particles and ensuring reliable isolation, this sound-generating unit addresses this issue by stacking a mesh cover over the through-hole area of ​​the main body, partially covering the through-hole with at least one first baffle, and then creating a first notch along the edge of the first baffle. This first notch, together with the through-hole, forms a first vent. This approach maintains the small notch size achievable through stamping on a macroscopic level while transforming the effective ventilation channel of the vent from a directly formed circular cross-section to a narrow slit-like cross-section combining a notch and a through-hole on a microscopic level. The projected area of ​​the slit cross-section perpendicular to the airflow direction is significantly smaller than the area of ​​a circular hole that can be stamped under the same process, yet it can maintain a considerable amount of air permeability. Thus, without breaking the limits of existing stamping processes, the vent holes physically isolate the sound-absorbing particles with smaller particle sizes, allowing the rear cavity of the sound-generating module to be filled with sound-absorbing particles with smaller particle sizes and larger specific surface areas. The virtual rear cavity volume is thus expanded, F0 is further reduced, and low-frequency sensitivity is significantly improved. Ultimately, without increasing the overall thickness and cost, the low-frequency sound of portable electronic devices is improved, taking into account both the feasibility of the process and the improvement of acoustic performance.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this utility model is: a sound-generating unit, including a body 1 and a mesh cover 2. The body 1 is provided with a through hole 131, which is located on the bottom surface, side surface, or the junction of the bottom surface and side surface of the body 1. The mesh cover 2 is disposed on the body 1 and covers a part of the through hole 131. The mesh cover 2 includes at least one first baffle 21. The edge of the first baffle 21 is provided with a first notch 211, which communicates with the through hole 131 to form a first vent hole 3.

[0039] Specifically, the body 1 includes a voice coil, a frame 11, and a magnetic circuit assembly and a diaphragm assembly 12 respectively connected to the frame 11. The voice coil is connected to the diaphragm assembly 12. The magnetic circuit assembly includes a magnetic cover 13 and a center magnetic assembly and a side magnetic assembly 14 respectively disposed on the magnetic cover 13. A magnetic gap is formed between the center magnetic assembly and the side magnetic assembly 14 for the voice coil to move. The center magnetic assembly includes a center magnet and a center washer. The center magnet is connected to the center washer and the magnetic cover 13. The side magnetic assembly 14 includes a side magnet and a side washer. The side magnet is connected to the side washer and the magnetic cover 13. In some embodiments, the side washer is connected to the frame 11.

[0040] When the through hole 131 is located on the side of the body 1, the through hole 131 is located on the basin frame 11, the side magnetic assembly 14, or the magnetic cover 13 with a flange; when the through hole 131 is located on the bottom surface of the body 1, the through hole 131 is located on the magnetic cover 13; when the through hole 131 is located at the junction of the bottom surface and the side surface of the body 1, the through hole 131 is located on the magnetic cover 13 with a flange. It should be noted that this description only reveals some feasible ways of setting the through hole 131, and does not mean that the through hole 131 can only have the settings listed above.

[0041] In one or more embodiments, the number of through holes 131 is multiple, and each through hole 131 is correspondingly provided with the mesh cover 2. In this embodiment, the magnetic cover 13 is flat and does not have flanges. The through holes 131 are located on the magnetic cover 13, and the mesh cover 2 is provided on the magnetic cover 13. The four corner areas of the magnetic cover 13 are respectively provided with the through holes 131.

[0042] In detail, the mesh cover 2 includes a plurality of first baffles 21, and the plurality of first baffles 21 are arranged in a row, that is, a single through hole 131 can divide into a plurality of first ventilation holes 3.

[0043] In one or more embodiments, the mesh cover 2 further includes a plurality of second baffles 22 arranged in a row. Each second baffle 22 has a second notch 221 along its edge, which connects to the through hole 131 to form a second vent 4. In other words, a single through hole 131 can divide into multiple first vent 3s. In this embodiment, the first baffles 21 and second baffles 22 in the mesh cover 2 are staggered. The opening of the first notch 211 on the first baffle 21 aligns with the opening of the second notch 221 on the adjacent second baffle 22, so that the side of the first vent 3 communicates with the side of the second vent 4. This communication forms a larger diameter vent hole, ensuring smooth airflow to the inside and outside of the sound-generating unit and blocking small-diameter sound-absorbing particles.

[0044] It should be noted that, Figure 4 The dotted lines are only for more clearly identifying the first vent 3 and the second vent 4; the actual product does not have lines corresponding to these dotted lines.

[0045] The shape of the first notch 211 can be semi-circular, semi-elliptical, or polygonal. Similarly, the shape of the first notch 211 can be semi-circular, semi-elliptical, or polygonal. The shape of the first notch 211 and the shape of the second notch 221 can be the same or different, and can be set as needed. In this embodiment, both the first notch 211 and the second notch 221 are rectangular.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the first baffle 21 and the adjacent second baffle 22 in the mesh cover 2 are mirror-symmetrical, that is, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 have the same structure and belong to the same material. This can save the mold opening cost of stamping mold and the storage cost of material.

[0047] The mesh cover 2 is made of plastic or metal. When the mesh cover 2 is made of plastic, it is bonded or heat-fused to the body 1. When the mesh cover 2 is made of metal, it is welded or bonded to the body 1.

[0048] To keep the sound-generating unit thin, the bottom surface of the magnetic cover 13 has a pressure groove 132, and the mesh cover 2 is installed in the pressure groove 132.

[0049] The thickness of the mesh cover 2 can be designed differently depending on the size of the sound-generating unit product. Preferably, the thickness of the mesh cover 2 is 0.05mm-0.5mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the mesh cover 2 is 0.1mm.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Embodiment 2 of this utility model is a parallel technical solution to Embodiment 1. The difference between Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 is that in this embodiment, the two first baffles 21 that are close to each other in the mesh cover 2 of the sound-emitting unit are in contact with each other, and the openings of the first notches 211 on each of the first baffles 21 face the same direction. That is, the mesh cover 2 does not have a second baffle like in Embodiment 1.

[0052] 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.
