Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a speaker unit for an open-back headphone, including a lower cover 1, an upper cover 2, a woofer 3 and a tweeter 4, with the woofer 3 and tweeter 4 clamped together by the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the lower cover 1 includes a lower cover plate 101. The lower cover plate 101 has an outer circumference of a ring edge 102. The lower cover plate 101 has a positioning core tube 103 at its center. The lower cover plate 101 has a protruding tube 104 at the periphery of the positioning core tube 103. An annular plate 105 is connected between the bottom ends of the positioning core tube 103 and the protruding tube 104. The annular plate 105 has several hollow holes 106 along its circumference. The positioning core tube 103, the protruding tube 104 and the annular plate 105 together form an annular snap-fit ​​area that facilitates the snap-fit ​​of the subwoofer 3. The upper end of the convex tube 104 is provided with an annular groove 107 for easy snap-fit ​​installation of the top cover 2. A first convex box 108 and a second convex box 110 are symmetrically provided between the convex tube 104 and the annular edge 102. A number of first through holes 109 are evenly distributed on the first convex box 108. The upper side of the second convex box 110 is recessed inward to form a rectangular snap-fit ​​area 111 for easy snap-fit ​​installation of the tweeter 4. A number of second through holes 112 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the rectangular snap-fit ​​area 111.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lower cover plate 101 is provided with a plurality of fastening holes 113 along the circumference to facilitate the installation of fasteners.

[0023] In this embodiment, the upper cover 2 is composed of a phase inverter tube 201 located in the middle and side cover boxes 202 located on both sides. The specifications of the phase inverter tube 201 are matched with the specifications of the annular slot 107. The upper end of the phase inverter tube 201 extends inward to form an annular end plate 203. The side cover box 202 can be snapped onto the outside of the first convex box 108 or the second convex box 110.

[0024] In this embodiment, planar strip holes 204 are symmetrically opened on the annular end plate 203, and arc-shaped noodle holes 205 are opened on the tube body of the phase inverter tube 201 near the tweeter 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bass speaker 3 adopts a radial magnetic circuit with a wide and uniform magnetic field in the provided magnetic circuit gap. The magnetic circuit of the bass speaker 3 adopts a central hole design to quickly dissipate the heat generated during vibration and relieve pressure. The bass speaker is located between the diaphragm and the magnetic plate to form a closed space that retains the vibration of the diaphragm.

[0026] In this embodiment, a light is added to the inside of the magnetic circuit hole of the bass speaker 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the diaphragm of the bass speaker 3 is made of TPU material.

[0028] In this embodiment, the diaphragm of the tweeter 4 is made of ethyl 2-6 naphthalenedicarboxylate.

[0029] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The open-back headphone speaker unit provided in this embodiment is composed of a woofer 3, a tweeter 4, a front acoustic cavity with a phase guide tube, and a rear acoustic cavity.

[0030] The woofer 3 employs a radial magnetic circuit, which offers the advantage of providing a wide and uniform magnetic field within the gaps between the magnetic circuit elements. Simultaneously, the magnetic circuit utilizes a central hole design, which allows heat generated during speaker vibration to be dissipated through the central hole. Besides heat dissipation, this also helps alleviate pressure. A closed space is formed below the diaphragm and above the magnetic plate, which can restrict diaphragm vibration; therefore, pressure reduction measures are necessary to extend product lifespan. Furthermore, the central hole design allows for the addition of lighting inside the hole, enhancing sensory comfort and achieving a balance between comfort and aesthetics. Integrating heat dissipation and sound propagation channels is also a clever design concept.

[0031] The diaphragm of the woofer 3 is made of TPU (polyurethane). The high resilience and flexibility of TPU allow the diaphragm to respond quickly to audio signals, reducing distortion and making it particularly suitable for dynamic transient response, improving sound clarity and detail reproduction. The internal damping of the TPU material effectively absorbs excess vibration, reducing resonance and coloration, avoiding a muffled sound, and especially improving the smoothness of the mid-low frequency transition. The low density of TPU reduces diaphragm weight, increases sensitivity, and lowers the driving difficulty, allowing for high-fidelity performance even with a small dynamic driver unit, while saving headphone power consumption.

[0032] The diaphragm of tweeter 4 is made of ethyl 2-6-naphthalenedicarboxylate, a material characterized by low density, high rigidity, high elastic modulus, high temperature resistance, and high tensile strength. This material exhibits extremely high rigidity (high Young's modulus) while maintaining low density, effectively reducing diaphragm splitting distortion and ensuring a fast and accurate high-frequency response. High resolution and transient response: The high rigidity of the diaphragm provides excellent fidelity to subtle signals, making it suitable for high-frequency performance. High temperature resistance and stability: This material is heat-resistant and unaffected by humidity, making it suitable for high-power or long-term operating environments. The front and rear acoustic chambers of the woofer 3 incorporate a bass reflex port. This port alters the propagation path and phase of the sound waves, changing the sound wave reflection path. When the speaker vibrates, the bass reflex port redirects the sound waves 180 degrees, causing the speaker to vibrate vertically. This increases airflow, enhances the bass drive, and thus strengthens the bass output, making the bass more impactful, richer, and with a wider dynamic range.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to specific implementation methods. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
