[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0014] To address the issue that existing bone conduction MEMS microphones are easily affected by external air pressure during sound pickup, resulting in resonant peaks and diaphragm tailing effects that ultimately lead to unclear speech; please refer to... Figure 1 The present invention provides the following solution:
[0015] A single-shell bone conduction MEMS microphone structure includes a shell 1 and a PCB 2. The shell 1 is mounted on top of the PCB 2. A PAD 7 is provided on the bottom of the PCB 2. A MEMS 4 is provided on the outer surface of the PCB 2. An ASIC 5 is provided on one side of the MEMS 4. The ASIC 5 is connected to the MEMS 4 and the PCB 2 respectively through gold wires 6.
[0016] In this embodiment, when a specific surface of the microphone housing 1 is typically designed to be in close contact with the skin or bone, and is subjected to sound wave vibrations transmitted by human bones or tissues, the housing 1 itself will generate corresponding mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are efficiently transmitted to the internal structure of the microphone through the support ring 3 that is tightly fitted to the inside of the housing 1.
[0017] A support ring 3 is provided on the inner side of the outer shell 1. The support ring 3 fits into the outer shell 1. A mass block 301 is provided inside the support ring 3. A diaphragm 303 is provided on the inner surface of the mass block 301. An inner vent hole 302 is provided on the outer surface of the diaphragm 303. An outer vent hole 101 is provided on the outer surface of the outer shell 1. The outer vent hole 101 extends between the support ring 3 and the mass block 301.
[0018] In this embodiment, the mass block 301 inside the support ring 3 is a key inertial element. When the support ring 3 vibrates with the outer shell 1, it drives the mass block 301 to move together. However, the diaphragm 303 suspended on the inner surface of the mass block 301 has different inertial responses due to its relatively thin and flexible characteristics. When the mass block 301 accelerates in the vibration direction, the diaphragm 303 will hysteresis relative to the mass block 301 body due to its inertia. This relative motion between the mass block 301 and the diaphragm 303 causes the diaphragm 303 to deform.
[0019] An internal vent 302 is located on the diaphragm 303. Its main function is to balance the static air pressure on both sides of the diaphragm. Without this vent, the expansion / contraction of the gas inside the cavity caused by changes in atmospheric pressure or temperature would generate huge static pressure on the diaphragm, which could damage the fragile diaphragm or cause sensitivity drift, or even failure. The internal vent allows gas to flow slowly through the diaphragm, maintaining a long-term pressure balance on both sides.
[0020] The external vent 101 and air passage are located on the outer shell 1 and extend to the gap between the support ring 3 and the mass block 301. When the microphone is working, the movement of the diaphragm 303 and the movement of the mass block 301 in the limited space will compress or expand the air around them. After sensing the vibration signal, the mass block 301 will move up and down. The space of the two cavities changes with the vibration. The internal airflow passes through the internal vent 302. The force generated by the movement of the mass block 301 acts on the surface of 4. MEMS4 generates a signal output to ASIC5. ASIC5 amplifies the signal and outputs an electrical signal to the external PAD7. The external vent 101 and its path to the gap, together with the internal vent 302, constitute a controllable acoustic impedance and capacitance network. By carefully designing the size, number and path length of the vent, the resistance of airflow can be precisely controlled, thereby adjusting the low-frequency cutoff frequency of the microphone, suppressing resonance peaks, optimizing the overall frequency response curve, making it more in line with the needs of bone conduction audio bands, and improving sound clarity.
