For example, the acoustic device 30 is disposed between the exterior material 120 and the vehicle interior material 130, and can output sound by indirectly or directly vibrating one or more of the exterior material 120 and the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the acoustic device 30 can be disposed in at least one of the exterior material 120, the vehicle interior material 130, and between the exterior material 120 and the vehicle interior material 130. According to an embodiment of the present specification, the acoustic device 30 can output sound by the acoustic device 30 in at least one of the exterior material 120, the vehicle interior material 130, and between the exterior material 120 and the vehicle interior material 130.

[0068] An acoustic device 30 according to an embodiment of the present specification can output sound between an exterior material 120 and a vehicle interior material 130 of a vehicle 10.

[0069] One or more of the exterior material 120 and the vehicle interior material 130 of the vehicle 10 may be a vibration plate, an acoustic diaphragm, or an acoustic generation plate for sound output. For example, each of the exterior material 120 and the vehicle interior material 130 for sound output has a size larger than that of the acoustic device 30, and therefore serves as a large-area vibration plate, an acoustic diaphragm, or an acoustic generation plate, thereby improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of a sound range including a low-frequency range generated by the acoustic device 30. For example, the frequency of the sound in the low-frequency range may be 300 Hz or less, 400 Hz or less, or 500 Hz or less, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0070] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an audio device for a vehicle according to another embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 2 shows an audio device in which the vehicle interior materials in the audio device are changed with reference to Fig. 1. Therefore, in the following description, redundant descriptions of the remaining components except for the vehicle interior materials will be omitted or simplified.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 2, an acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification can output sound (S) by vibrating a vehicle interior material 130 including one or more of metal, wood, rubber, plastic, carbon, glass, fiber, cloth, paper, mirror, and leather.

The skin member 133 may be a second interior material, an outer interior material, a front interior material, an outer skin member, a reinforcing member, or a decorative member, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0073] The base member 131 may be made of a plastic material. The base member 131 according to an embodiment of the present specification may include an injection product. For example, the base member 131 may be an injection product realized by an injection process using a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. The vehicle interior material 130 or the base member 131 may be configured to cover the interior of the vehicle 10. For example, the vehicle interior material 130 or the base member 131 may be configured to cover one or more of the main structure 110 and the exterior material 120 in the interior space (IS) of the vehicle 10. For example, the vehicle interior material 130 or the base member 131 may be configured to cover at least one surface (or interior surface) of the main frame, the side frame, the door frame, and the handle frame exposed to the interior space (IS) of the vehicle 10.

[0074] The base member 131 may include at least one of a flat portion and a curved portion. For example, the base member 131 may have a structure corresponding to the structure (or back structure) of the corresponding main structure 110, or may have a structure different from the structure of the corresponding main structure 110.

[0075] The skin member 133 may be disposed on the base member 131. For example, the skin member 133 may be configured to cover the base member 131. For example, the skin member 133 may be configured to be exposed to the interior and / or interior space (IS) of the vehicle 10 while covering the base member 131 in the interior and / or interior space (IS) of the vehicle 10. For example, the skin member 133 may be disposed on or coupled to a front surface (or interior surface) of the base member 131 that is exposed to the interior space (IS) of the vehicle 10.

[0076] The vehicle interior material 130 or the skin member 133 according to an embodiment of the present specification may include any one or more of plastic, glass, fiber, leather, cloth, rubber, mirror, wood, paper, carbon, and metal, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. The skin member 133 may be a fiber material. For example, the skin member 133 made of a fiber material may include at least one or more of synthetic fiber, carbon fiber (or aramid fiber), and natural fiber, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the skin member 133 made of a fiber material may be a woven sheet, a knitted sheet, or a nonwoven fabric, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the skin member 133 made of a fiber material may be a fabric member, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0077] The synthetic fiber may include polyolefin fiber, which is an environmentally friendly material that does not emit harmful substances as a thermoplastic resin. For example, the polyolefin fiber may include polyethylene fiber, polypropylene fiber, or polyethylene terephthalate fiber, but the examples of the present specification are not limited thereto. The polyolefin fiber may be a single resin fiber or a core-shell structure fiber, but the examples of the present specification are not limited thereto. The natural fiber may be any one or a mixture of two or more of jute fiber, kenaf fiber, abaca fiber, coconut fiber, and wood fiber, but the examples of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0078] The acoustic device 30 may be covered by a vehicle interior material 130. For example, the acoustic device 30 may be configured to vibrate the vehicle interior material 130, which includes a base member 131 and a skin member 133, to output sound (S) toward the interior and / or cabin space (IS) of the vehicle 10.

[0079] An acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification can use the vehicle interior material 130 as a diaphragm to output sound (S) toward the interior space (IS), and can output multi-channel realistic sound (S) and / or stereo sound toward the interior space (IS) of the vehicle 10.

[0080] According to another embodiment of the present specification, the acoustic device 30 may be configured to be surrounded by an enclosure. A space is provided between the acoustic device 30 and the enclosure, and sound (or sound pressure) can be output in response to vibration of the vehicle interior material 130 caused by air between the acoustic device 30 and the enclosure. However, there is a problem that low-frequency sound is not output, and the number of peaks and dips generated in the reproduction frequency band of the sound (or sound pressure) generated in response to the vibration of the vehicle interior material 130 increases, and the maximum sound pressure and the minimum sound pressure generated in the reproduction frequency band of the sound (or sound pressure) generated in response to the vibration of the vehicle interior material 130 increase, resulting in a decrease in the flatness of the sound pressure. A peak is a phenomenon in which sound pressure jumps at a specific frequency, and a dip is a phenomenon in which sound generation at a specific frequency is suppressed and low sound pressure is generated. The flatness of the sound pressure may be the difference between the maximum sound pressure and the minimum sound pressure.

[0081] The inventors of the present specification have conducted various research and experiments to realize an acoustic device and a transportation device including the same, which can improve the acoustic characteristics of the low frequency band and improve the flatness of the sound pressure. Through various research and experiments, the inventors have invented an acoustic device and a transportation device including the same, which can output sounds including the high frequency band to the low frequency band and can improve the balance characteristic of the sound pressure or the flatness characteristic of the sound pressure. This will be described below.

[0082] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an audio device according to an embodiment of the present specification, and Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of Fig. 3 according to an embodiment of the present specification.

[0083] 3 and 4, an acoustic device 30 according to an embodiment of the present specification may include an enclosure 310 and an acoustic generation module 330. The acoustic device 30 may be configured to vibrate a vibration target or a vehicle structure. For example, the acoustic device 30 may be an acoustic generation device, an acoustic output device, a speaker device, a car audio device, or an audio device, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0084] The acoustic device 30 may be configured to be connected (or coupled) to a vehicle structure. For example, the acoustic device 30 may be configured to vibrate a portion of any one of the main structure 110, the exterior material 120, and the vehicle interior material 130 shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 to generate (or output) sound.

[0085] The sound generating module 330 can vibrate the vehicle interior material 130. As a result, the sound generating module 330 can generate sound by vibrating the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the sound generating module 330 can be configured to indirectly vibrate the vehicle interior material 130. The sound generating module 330 can generate or output sound or vibration by driving (or vibrating or displacing) the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the sound generating module 330 can be configured to vibrate the enclosure 310 to vibrate the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the sound generating module 330 can be a sound generating unit, a sound generating member, a sound reproducing module, a sound reproducing unit, a car audio module, a car audio unit, a speaker module, or a speaker unit, but the examples herein are not limited thereto.

[0086] The sound generating module 330 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a vibrating member 331 and vibration devices 333,335.

[0087] The vibration member 331 can generate vibrations or output sounds (or sound waves) by displacement (or drive) of the vibration devices 333, 335. For example, the vibration member 331 can be a plate, a vibration plate, a vibration substrate, a vibrating object, a vibration panel, a sound plate, a sound panel, a passive vibration plate, a passive vibration member, a passive vibration panel, an acoustic output plate, or an acoustic vibration plate, but examples of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0088] The vibrating member 331 may include a single non-metallic or composite non-metallic material. For example, the single non-metallic or composite non-metallic material of the vibrating member 331 may include one or more of wood, rubber, plastic, carbon, glass, fiber, cloth, paper, mirror, and leather, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the paper may be cone paper for a speaker. For example, the cone paper may be pulp or foam plastic, etc., but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0089] The vibration member 331 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be made of a plastic material or a styrene material, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0090] The plastic material of the vibration member 331 may be polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyimide, polypropylene, polyarylate, polyethersulfone, polyethylene naphthalate, polysulfone, cyclo-olefin copolymer, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), or the like, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0091] The styrene material of the vibration member 331 may be an ABS material, which may be acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.

[0092] The vibrating member 331 according to an embodiment of the present specification may be made of a porous material. For example, the vibrating member 331 may include a micro cellular plastics material. For example, the vibrating member 331 may be made of a polyethylene terephthalate material or a polycarbonate material. For example, the vibrating member 331 may be made of a micro cellular polyethylene terephthalate (MCPET) material. The vibrating member 331 made of micro cellular PET has low density, excellent elasticity, and high original sound reproduction capability, and therefore can improve the sound quality of the sound.

[0093] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the vibration member 331 may include a rectangular shape, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the vibration member 331 may have a rectangular shape having a long side and a short side. For example, the vibration member 331 may include a first surface 331s1 and a second surface 331s2 different from (or opposite to) the first surface 331s1. For example, in the vibration member 331, the first surface 331s1 may be a back surface, a rear surface, or a bottom surface, and the second surface 331s2 may be a front surface or a top surface.

[0094] The vibration devices 333, 335 may be configured to vibrate the vibration member 331. For example, the vibration devices 333, 335 may be disposed on or configured on the vibration member 331. The vibration devices 333, 335 may be configured to vibrate (or displace or drive) by an applied drive signal (or vibration drive signal or voice signal) to cause the vibration member 331 to vibrate (or displace or drive).

[0095] The vibration devices 333, 335 can have a corresponding or identical shape to the vibration member 331, although examples herein are not limited thereto. For example, the vibration devices 333, 335 can have a different shape than the vibration member 331. For example, the vibration devices 333, 335 can include a rectangular shape or a square shape. For example, the vibration devices 333, 335 can include a rectangular shape or a square shape that is smaller than the vibration member 331.

[0096] The vibration devices 333 and 335 according to an embodiment of the present specification may be integrated with the vibration member 331. For example, the vibration devices 333 and 335 may be directly coupled (or bonded) to the vibration member 331. For example, the vibration devices 333 and 335 may be directly coupled (or bonded) to the vibration member 331 without a separate adhesive member or intermediate member (or medium). For example, the vibration devices 333 and 335 and the vibration member 331 may be configured as one body that is coupled to each other or physically coupled without a separate adhesive member or intermediate member (or medium). For example, the vibration member 331 may be a vibration plate integrated with the vibration device, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. As a result, when the vibration devices 333 and 335 vibrate (or are displaced or driven), the vibration of the vibration devices 333 and 335 is transmitted to the vibration member 331 without loss, and the sound pressure characteristics of the sound generated by the vibration of the vibration member 331 may be improved. Furthermore, since a separate adhesive member or intermediate member for connecting (or adhering) the vibration devices 333, 335 and the vibration member 331 to each other is omitted, the manufacturing process of the acoustic device can be simplified and the manufacturing cost of the acoustic device can be reduced.

[0097] The vibration devices 333, 335 according to other embodiments of the present specification may be coupled (or attached) to the vibration member 331 by an adhesive member. For example, when the vibration devices 333, 335 are coupled (or attached) to the vibration member 331 via an adhesive member, the sound pressure characteristics of the sound generated by the vibration of the vibration member 331 may be reduced due to a transmission loss of the vibration through the adhesive member and a transmission loss of the vibration through air bubbles generated between the adhesive member and the vibration member 331.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present specification, a portion of the sound-generating module 330 or a portion of the vibration devices 333, 335 may be configured to be housed in the vibration member 331. A portion of the sound-generating module 330 or a portion of the vibration devices 333, 335 may be directly (or inserted) into a portion of the vibration member 331 without a separate adhesive member or a separate intermediate member (or medium). Thus, a portion of the sound-generating module 330 or a portion of the vibration devices 333, 335 may be integrated with the vibration member 331 without a separate adhesive member or a separate intermediate member (or medium).

[0099] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the vibration member 331 may be configured to accommodate (or insert) a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration device 333, 335. For example, the vibration member 331 may include one or more home parts 331a, 331b. For example, a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration device 333, 335 may be accommodated (or inserted) in one or more home parts 331a, 331b of the vibration member 331. For example, a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration device 333, 335 may be accommodated (or inserted) in one or more home parts 331a, 331b of the vibration member 331 without a separate adhesive member or a separate intermediate member (or medium). In this way, a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration device 333, 335 may be integrated with one or more home parts 331a, 331b of the vibration member 331 without a separate adhesive member or a separate intermediate member (or medium).

[0100] According to an embodiment of the present specification, when the vibration member 331 is made of a plastic material, the vibration member 331 may be combined (or welded) with a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration devices 333 and 335 in a semi-cured state, and then cured to be integrated or joined with a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration devices 333 and 335, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, a part of the vibration member 331 made of a plastic material may be melted by heat and welded or joined with a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration devices 333 and 335, so that a part of the sound generating module 330 or a part of the vibration devices 333 and 335 and a part of the vibration member 331 may be integrated or joined with each other without a separate adhesive member or a separate intermediate member (or medium). For example, a portion of the vibration member 331 into which a portion of the sound generating module 330 or a portion of the vibration device 333 , 335 is housed (or inserted) may constitute one or more home portions 331 a , 331 b of the vibration member 331 .

[0101] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the sound generation module 330 or the vibration device 333, 335 may include one or more vibration devices or a plurality of vibration devices. For example, the plurality of vibration devices 333, 335 may be arranged on either side of the vibration member 331. For example, the sound generation module 330 may include one or more of the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335. The first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be configured on the vibration member 331.

[0102] Each of the vibration devices, the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335, may have the same shape as the vibration member 331 or may have a different shape. According to one embodiment of the present specification, each of the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may have a rectangular shape that is smaller than the vibration member 331.

[0103] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the long sides of the first vibrating device 333 and the second vibrating device 335 may be parallel to the long side of the vibrating member 331 and spaced apart from the long side of the vibrating member 331 by a first distance (or a first shortest distance). The short sides of the first vibrating device 333 and the second vibrating device 335 may be parallel to the short side of the vibrating member 331 and spaced apart from the short side of the vibrating member 331 by a second distance (or a second shortest distance). For example, the first distance may be different from the second distance. For example, the first distance may be smaller than the second distance.

[0104] The first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be arranged to sandwich the vibration member 331. The first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be configured to vibrate (or displace or drive) by an applied drive signal (or vibration drive signal or voice signal) to vibrate (or displace or drive) the vibration member 331. For example, the drive signals (or vibration drive signals or voice signals) applied to the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be the same or different from each other. For example, the drive signals applied to the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may have the same or different phases from each other. For example, the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be a bimorph structure arranged to sandwich the vibration member 331. Since the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 can vibrate the vibration member 331 independently, the influence on the acoustic characteristics due to the material and characteristics of the vibration member 331 may be reduced. This may improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the acoustic device 30.

[0105] The first vibrating device 333 may be disposed on a first surface 331s1 of the vibrating member 331. The second vibrating device 335 may be disposed on a second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331.

For example, the second vibration device 335 may be coupled to the first vibration device 333. For example, the second vibration device 335 may be stacked on the first vibration device 333. For example, the second vibration device 335 and the first vibration device 333 may be stacked one above the other.

[0107] According to an embodiment of the present specification, a portion of each of the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be housed (or configured) on either the first surface 331s1 or the second surface 331s2 of the vibration member 331.

[0109] The second vibrating device 335 may be accommodated (or inserted) in the second home portion 331b formed (or configured) on the second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331. For example, a portion of the second vibrating device 335 may be accommodated (or inserted) in the second home portion 331b formed (or configured) on the second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331. For example, a portion of the second vibrating device 335 may be accommodated (or inserted) in the second home portion 331b formed (or configured) on the second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331 without a separate adhesive member or a separate intermediate member (or medium).

[0110] In the vibrating member 331, the first home portion 331a may be formed (or configured) in a concave shape from the first surface 331s1. For example, the first home portion 331a may be formed (or configured) in a concave shape from the first surface 331s1 to have a shape and depth corresponding to a portion of the first vibrating device 333. The second home portion 331b may be formed (or configured) in a concave shape from the second surface 331s2.

[0111] According to an embodiment of the present specification, when the vibrating member 331 is made of a plastic material, the first surface 331s1 of the vibrating member 331 may be combined (or welded) with a part of the first vibrating device 333 in a semi-cured state and then cured to be integrated or joined with a part of the first vibrating device 333, and the second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331 may be combined (or welded) with a part of the second vibrating device 335 in a semi-cured state and then cured to be integrated or joined with a part of the second vibrating device 335, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, a part of the first surface 331s1 of the vibrating member 331 in which a part of the first vibrating device 333 is accommodated (or inserted) may constitute a first home portion 331a of the vibrating member 331, and a part of the second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331 in which a part of the second vibrating device 335 is accommodated (or inserted) may constitute a second home portion 331b of the vibrating member 331.

For example, the interior space 313 can be a storage space, a storage space, a gap space, an air space, a vibration space, an acoustic space, an acoustic pipe, or a sealed space, and the embodiments herein are not limited thereto.

[0117] The first enclosure 311 can be in the sound-generating module 330 across the internal space 313. The first enclosure 311 can be connected to the sound-generating module 330 across the internal space 313. The first enclosure 311 can be disposed or connected to a first surface side (or a back surface side or a bottom surface side) of the sound-generating module 330 across the internal space 313. For example, the first enclosure 311 can be connected (or coupled) to an edge portion of the first surface of the sound-generating module 330 across the internal space 313. The first enclosure 311 can support the first surface of the sound-generating module 330 across the internal space 313. The first enclosure 311 can be disposed (or configured) between the vehicle interior material 130 and the sound-generating module 330. For example, the first enclosure 311 can be configured to surround the first surface of the sound-generating module 330. The first enclosure 311 may be configured to cover a first side of the sound-generating module 330 .

[0118] The first enclosure 311 may be vibrated by the driving (or vibration or displacement) of the sound generating module 330, and the vehicle interior material 130 may generate or output sound by the vibration of the first enclosure 311. As a result, according to one embodiment of the present specification, sound is generated by the vibration of a vibrating object or the vehicle interior material 130 having a size larger than that of the acoustic device 30, and thus the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of a sound range including a low frequency range generated by the driving (or vibration or displacement) of the acoustic device 30 may be improved.

[0119] The second enclosure 312 can be in the sound-generating module 330 across the interior space 313.

For example, the vehicle interior material 130 can vibrate due to the vibration of the first enclosure 311 caused by the sound (or sound pressure or sound waves) generated in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 to generate (or output) sound.

[0122] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the interior space 313 of the enclosure 310 may include a first space 313a and a second space 313b.

[0123] The vibration member 331 may be disposed in the interior space 313 of the enclosure 310. The vibration member 331 may be disposed in the interior space 313 of the enclosure 310 and coupled to a vibration device. For example, the vibration member 331 may be disposed in the interior space 313 of the enclosure 310 and coupled to one or more of the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335. For example, the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be disposed on either side of the vibration member 331.

[0124] The vibration member 331 may be disposed or configured between the first enclosure 311 and the second enclosure 312 of the enclosure 310. The vibration member 331 may be configured to separate the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 into a first space 313a and a second space 313b. For example, the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 may be separated into the first space 313a and the second space 313b by the vibration member 331. For example, the first space 313a of the internal space 313 may be provided between the first enclosure 311 of the enclosure 310 and the vibration member 331 and may be covered by the vibration member 331. The second space 313b of the internal space 313 may be provided between the second enclosure 312 of the enclosure 310 and the vibration member 331 and may be covered by the vibration member 331.

[0125] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335 may be located in different spaces in the interior space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the first vibration device 333 may be located in the first space 313a. For example, the second vibration device 335 may be located in the second space 313b.

[0126] The first space 313a can be between the sound generating module 330 and the first enclosure 311. For example, the first space 313a can be between a first surface of the sound generating module 330 and the first enclosure 311. The first space 313a can be between the first vibration device 333 and the first enclosure 311. The second space 313b can be between the sound generating module 330 and the second enclosure 312. For example, the second space 313b can be between a second surface different (or opposite) from the first surface of the sound generating module 330 and the second enclosure 312. The second space 313b can be between the second vibration device 335 and the second enclosure 312. For example, the internal space 313 can be a gap space, an air gap, a vibration space, an acoustic space, an acoustic pipe, or a sealed space, and the embodiments herein are not limited thereto.

[0127] The sound generating module 330 can generate sound pressure (or sound or sound waves) in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 to vibrate the enclosure 310, and the vibration of the enclosure 310 can vibrate the vibration object or the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the sound generating module 330 can be configured to vibrate the first enclosure 311 of the enclosure 310 to vibrate the vibration object or the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the sound generating module 330 can generate sound pressure (or sound or sound waves) in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 to vibrate the first enclosure 311, and the vibration of the first enclosure 311 can vibrate the vibration object or the vehicle interior material 130.

[0128] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first enclosure 311 may include an opening 310o.

[0129] The opening 310o may be configured to penetrate (or vertically penetrate) the first enclosure 311 along the thickness direction (Z) (or vertical direction) of the enclosure 310. The opening 310o may be connected (or communicated) with the internal space 313. The opening 310o may be connected with the first space 313a. For example, the opening 310o may be configured to reduce the air pressure in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the opening 310o may be configured to reduce the air pressure in the first space 313a of the first enclosure 311, or the first space 313a provided between the vibrating member 331 and the first enclosure 311. This allows the range of the bass band to be expanded, thereby improving the acoustic characteristics of the bass band. For example, as the pressure (or air pressure) in the first space 313a decreases through the opening 310o, the displacement (or bending force) of the first vibrating device 333 disposed between the vibrating member 331 and the first enclosure 311 may be increased, thereby expanding the range of the low-frequency band and improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the low-frequency band. Therefore, the sound (or sound pressure) in the low-frequency band generated by the vibration of the first vibrating device 333 and / or the second vibrating device 335 may be improved.

[0130] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the opening 310o may be arranged to correspond to a central portion of the sound generating module 330. For example, the opening 310o may be arranged to correspond to a central portion of the vibration devices 333, 335. For example, the opening 310o may be arranged to correspond to a central portion of the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335. For example, the opening 310o may be arranged to correspond to a central portion of each of the first vibration device 333 and the second vibration device 335. For example, the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 may include a space coupled to the opening 310o. For example, the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 may include a first space 313a coupled to the opening 310o.

[0131] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the opening 310o may be smaller than the size of the first vibrating device 333. For example, the opening 310o may be smaller than the size of the first vibrating device 333 disposed on the vibrating member 331. For example, the opening 310o may include a line shape having a size (or length) smaller than the size of the first vibrating device 333 disposed on the vibrating member 331. For example, the opening 310o may be a hole, a slot, or a slit, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the opening 310o may be an acoustic emission portion, an acoustic emission port, an acoustic output portion, an acoustic output port, an acoustic output hole, a duct hole, or a vent hole, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0132] The opening 310o may be a space through which sound waves generated by the vibration of the sound generating module 330 are propagated (or transmitted) to the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the vibration of the sound generating module 330 may be transmitted to a vibration target or the interior space of the vehicle through the opening 310o. For example, the sound waves (or sound) caused by the vibration of the sound generating module 330 may be transmitted (or output or emitted) to the interior space of the vehicle through the opening 310o. This makes it possible to increase the vibration amplitude (or displacement amplitude) of the vibrating member 331 accompanying the vibration of the sound generating module 330, thereby improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics generated accompanying the vibration of the vibrating member 331.

[0133] The first enclosure 311 may be disposed closer to the vehicle interior material 130 than the second enclosure 312. For example, the first enclosure 311 including the opening 310o may be disposed closer to the vehicle interior material 130 than the second enclosure 312. This allows sound generated by vibration of one or more of the first vibrating device 333 and the second vibrating device 335 to be output to the interior space of the vehicle, so that sound including a low-frequency band can be output to the interior space of the vehicle.

[0134] The first enclosure 311 may include an inclined surface 311s and an inner side surface 311i. The first inclined surface 311s may be configured to be inclined between the inner side surface 311i of the first enclosure 311 and the opening 310o. The inclined surface 311s may be configured to guide the sound generated by the vibration of the sound generating module 330 to the interior space of the vehicle. This may allow the sound generated by the vibration of the sound generating module 330 to be output to the interior space of the vehicle, and may further improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the sound including the low-frequency band. For example, the inclined surface 311s may be a guide surface or an acoustic guide surface, and the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0135] The vibration member 331 may be arranged or configured to be spaced apart from the opening 310o.

For example, the second enclosure 312 may be coupled (or connected) to an edge portion of the second surface 331s2 of the vibration member 331. For example, the second enclosure 312 may be configured to cover the second surface of the sound-generating module 330. For example, the second enclosure 312 may be configured to surround the second surface of the sound-generating module 330.

[0138] The acoustic device 30 according to an embodiment of the present specification may further include a coupling member 320. The coupling member 320 may be configured to connect or couple the vibration member 331 and the enclosure 310 to each other. For example, the coupling member 320 may be between an edge portion of the vibration member 331 and the enclosure 310. The coupling member 320 may include a first coupling member 321 and a second coupling member 322.

[0139] The first coupling member 321 can be between the vibration member 331 and the first enclosure 311. The first coupling member 321 can be between an edge portion of the vibration member 331 and an edge portion of the first enclosure 311. For example, the edge portion of the first enclosure 311 can be coupled or connected to the first surface 331s1 of the vibration member 331 by the first coupling member 321. For example, the edge portion of the first enclosure 311 can be coupled or connected to the edge portion of the first surface 331s1 of the vibration member 331 by the first coupling member 321.

[0140] The second coupling member 322 can be between the vibration member 331 and the second enclosure 312. The second coupling member 322 can be between an edge portion of the vibration member 331 and an edge portion of the second enclosure 312.

[0141] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the coupling member 320 may be configured to minimize or prevent vibrations of the vibrating member 331 from being transmitted to the enclosure 310. The coupling member 320 may include material properties suitable for blocking vibrations. For example, the coupling member 320 may include a material having elasticity. For example, the coupling member 320 may include a material having elasticity for vibration absorption (or shock absorption). The coupling member 320 according to an embodiment of the present specification may be made of a polyurethane material or a polyolefin material, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the coupling member 320 may include one or more of an adhesive, a double-sided adhesive, a double-sided tape, a double-sided adhesive tape, a double-sided adhesive foam tape, a double-sided adhesive foam tape, a double-sided pad, a double-sided foam pad, a double-sided adhesive foam pad, and a double-sided cushion tape, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0143] The acoustic device 30 according to an embodiment of the present specification includes the sound generating module 330 having a bimorph structure, and therefore the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the sound including the low frequency band can be improved. Since the acoustic device 30 according to an embodiment of the present specification includes the enclosure 310 having the opening 310o, the sound range of the low frequency band can be expanded as the air pressure in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310 decreases, and therefore the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the low frequency band can be improved.

[0144] In the acoustic device 30 according to an embodiment of the present specification, the vibrations of the vibrating devices 333 and 335 are transmitted to the vibrating member 331 without loss due to an integrated structure of the vibrating member 331 and the vibrating devices 333 and 335, thereby improving the sound pressure characteristics of the sound generated by the vibration of the vibrating member 331. In the acoustic device 30 according to an embodiment of the present specification, a separate adhesive member or intermediate member for bonding (or adhering) the vibrating devices 333 and 335 and the vibrating member 331 to each other is omitted, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the acoustic device and reducing the manufacturing cost of the acoustic device.

[0158] The vibrating part 1311a may be polarized (or polled) by a constant voltage applied to the first electrode part 1311b and the second electrode part 1311c in a constant temperature atmosphere or a temperature atmosphere that changes from high temperature to room temperature, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the polarization direction (or poling direction) formed in the vibrating part 1311a may be formed or oriented (or arranged) from the first electrode part 1311b to the second electrode part 1311c, but is not limited thereto, and for example, the polarization direction (or poling direction) formed in the vibrating part 1311a may be formed or oriented (or arranged) from the second electrode part 1311c to the first electrode part 1311b.

[0159] The vibration part 1311a can vibrate by alternately repeating contraction and / or expansion due to the inverse piezoelectric effect caused by a drive signal applied from the outside to the first electrode part 1311b and the second electrode part 1311c. For example, the vibration part 1311a can vibrate in the vertical direction (or thickness direction) and the planar direction by a signal applied to the first electrode part 1311b and the second electrode part 1311c. The vibration part 1311a can improve the vibration characteristics including the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the vibration generator 1310 by displacing (or vibrating or driving) by contracting and / or expanding in the planar direction.

[0160] According to an embodiment of the present specification, a portion of the vibration generating unit 1311 may be accommodated (or inserted) in the vibrating member 331. For example, a first surface of the vibration generating unit 1311 adjacent to the vibrating member 331 may be accommodated (or inserted) in a portion of the vibrating member 331. For example, one of the first electrode unit 1311b and the second electrode unit 1311c may be accommodated (or inserted) in a portion of the vibrating member 331. For example, the first electrode unit 1311b of the first electrode unit 1311b and the second electrode unit 1311c may be accommodated (or inserted) in a portion of the vibrating member 331. For example, the first electrode unit 1311b may be accommodated (or inserted) in the home portions 331a and 331b of the vibrating member 331. Thus, the first electrode unit 1311b may be integrated with the vibrating member 331 or the home portions 331a and 331b of the vibrating member 331.

[0161] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first electrode portion 1311b of the first vibrating device 333 may be accommodated (or inserted) in the first home portion 331a of the vibrating member 331.

For example, the second electrode portion 1311c of the second vibrating device 335 may be accommodated (or inserted) in the second home portion 331b of the vibrating member 331. Thus, the second vibrating device 335 may be integrated with the second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331 or the vibrating member 331 by the first electrode portion 1311b accommodated (or inserted) in the second home portion 331b of the vibrating member 331 or the vibrating member 331.

For example, a portion of the first surface 331s1 of the vibrating member 331 in which the first electrode portion 1311b of the first vibrating device 333 is housed (or inserted) can constitute the first home portion 331a of the vibrating member 331, and a portion of the second surface 331s2 of the vibrating member 331 in which the first electrode portion 1311b of the second vibrating device 335 is housed (or inserted) can constitute the second home portion 331b of the vibrating member 331.

[0163] According to an embodiment of the present specification, a portion of the vibration part 1311a in the first vibration device 333 may be in contact with or directly contact with the vibration member 331. For example, an edge of the vibration part 1311a in the first vibration device 333 may be in contact with or directly contact with the first surface 331s1 of the vibration member 331. This allows the vibration of the vibration part 1311a in the first vibration device 333 to be efficiently transmitted to the vibration member 331 without loss. A portion of the vibration part 1311a in the second vibration device 335 may be in contact with or directly contact with the vibration member 331. For example, an edge of the vibration part 1311a in the second vibration device 335 may be in contact with or directly contact with the second surface 331s2 of the vibration member 331. This allows the vibration of the vibration part 1311a in the second vibration device 335 to be efficiently transmitted to the vibration member 331 without loss.

[0227] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an audio device according to another embodiment of the present specification.

[0228] 12, an acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification may include an enclosure 310, a sound generating module 330, and a coupling member 320.

As a result, the vehicle interior material 130 can vibrate and generate sound due to the vibrations transmitted through the connecting member 350. For example, if the connecting member 350 is made of a relatively hard material, the vehicle interior material 130 connected to the connecting member 350 can become a diaphragm for generating (or outputting) sound. For example, if the connecting member 350 is made of a relatively hard material, the vibrations of the first enclosure 311 can be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 more efficiently.

The descriptions of the enclosure 310, the sound generating module 330, and the coupling member 320 are substantially the same as those described with reference to Figs. 3, 4, and 9, and therefore the same reference numerals are used therefor, and duplicate descriptions thereof may be omitted or simplified.

[0237] An acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification may further include a flexible member 360. The description of the flexible member 360 is substantially the same as that described with reference to FIG. 6, so the description here may be omitted or simplified.

[0243] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the soft member 360 may be disposed between the enclosure 310 and one or more curved surfaces 136 of the vehicle interior material 130. The soft member 360 may be disposed between the first enclosure 311 and one or more curved surfaces 136 of the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the acoustic device 30 or the first enclosure 311 may be connected or joined to one or more curved surfaces 136 of the vehicle interior material 130 by the soft member 360. In this way, the soft member 360 can fill one or more curved surfaces 136 of the vehicle interior material 130 or cover one or more curved surfaces 136 of the vehicle interior material 130, thereby absorbing external impacts and protecting the acoustic device 30.

[0244] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the flexible member 360 may further include a first hole 360o (or hole).

The descriptions of the enclosure 310, the sound generating module 330, and the coupling member 320 are substantially the same as those described with reference to Figures 3 to 13, and therefore the same reference numerals are used therefor, and duplicate descriptions thereof may be omitted or simplified.

[0249] When the acoustic device 30 is connected to the vehicle interior material 130, the acoustic device 30 and the vehicle interior material 130 may be connected by an adhesive. When the acoustic device 30 is connected to the vehicle interior material 130 by an adhesive, there is a problem that rework or replacement is difficult when the acoustic device 30 is defective or broken, and there is a problem that the acoustic device 30 may be damaged during rework or replacement. Therefore, the inventors of the present specification have conducted various studies and experiments to facilitate rework or replacement of the acoustic device 30 connected to the vehicle interior material 130 and reduce damage to the acoustic device 30. Through various studies and experiments, they have invented an acoustic device that facilitates rework or replacement of the acoustic device 30 connected to the vehicle interior material 130 and does not cause damage during rework or replacement of the acoustic device 30.

The coupling portion 500 may be located on the rear surface of the enclosure 310. The coupling portion 500 may be located between the rear surface of the enclosure 310 and the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the coupling portion 500 may be configured to couple the enclosure 310 to the vehicle interior material 130 (or an object to be mounted). The coupling portion 500 may be configured to couple the enclosure 310 to the vehicle interior material 130 to which the enclosure 310 is mounted. For example, the coupling portion 500 may be configured to couple the enclosure 310 to the vehicle interior material 130 to which the first enclosure 311 is mounted.

[0254] The coupling unit 500 according to an embodiment of the present specification may further include a hollow portion 501. For example, the hollow portion 501 may be connected to the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310.

[0305] The coupling part 500 may be connected or coupled to the protrusion 315. Thus, the coupling part 500 and the protrusion 315 may be integrally (or one-piece) configured. For example, the coupling part 500 and the protrusion 315 may be configured by double injection using different materials, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. According to one embodiment of the present specification, the coupling part 500 and the protrusion 315 may be configured as one part, thereby achieving the effect of uni-materialization. The description of the coupling part 500 is substantially the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15, and therefore the same reference numerals are used therefor, and the repeated description thereof may be omitted or simplified.

For example, the latch member 503 may be configured to be coupled to the vehicle interior material 130 to which the enclosure 310 is attached. For example, the latch member 503 may be configured to be coupled to the vehicle interior material 130 to which the first enclosure 311 is attached. For example, the latch member 503 may be configured to be coupled to the second surface (or interior surface or back surface) 130s of the vehicle interior material 130 through the opening hole 315o of the protrusion 315.

[0310] The latch member 503 according to an embodiment of the present specification may be made of a flexible material, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the latch member 503 may be made of rubber, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0311] According to one embodiment of the present specification, the coupling portion 500 and the protrusion 315 may be connected or coupled to the first hole 137 (arrow direction) of the vehicle interior material 130 through the hollow portion 501.

[0314] Fig. 24 is a diagram showing an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 25 is an exploded perspective view of the acoustic device shown in Fig. 24 according to another embodiment of the present specification. Figs. 24 and 25 show an acoustic device described with reference to Figs. 14 and 16 to which a connecting member is further added. In the description of the acoustic device 30 described with reference to Figs. 14 and 15, the remaining description except for the description of the connecting member may be included in the description of the acoustic device 30 shown in Figs. 24 and 25, so the same reference numbers are used for the same components and redundant description thereof will be omitted.

[0315] 24 and 25, the acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification may further include a connecting member 380. The connecting member 380 may be located or configured between the vehicle interior material 130 and the sound generating module 330. For example, the connecting member 380 may be configured in the enclosure 310. The connecting member 380 may be configured between the first enclosure 311 of the enclosure 310 and the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the first enclosure 311 may include an inner surface 311i and an outer surface. The inner surface 311i of the first enclosure 311 may face the vibration member 331. The outer surface of the first enclosure 311 may be the surface opposite to the inner surface 311i. For example, the connecting member 380 may be connected to the outer surface of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311. The connecting member 380 may be a coupling member, an intermediate member, a buffer member, or a pad member, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0316] The connecting member 380 may be made of a material different from the first connecting member 321. For example, the connecting member 380 may be made of a material having an adhesive strength different from that of the first connecting member 321. Because the connecting member 380 is made of a material having an adhesive strength different from that of the first connecting member 321, in a process of separating or detaching (or reworking) the audio device 30 attached to the vehicle interior material 130, the connecting member 380 may be easily separated or detached (or reworked) from the vehicle interior material 130. This may facilitate a process of attaching or mounting the audio device 30 to the vehicle interior material 130, or a process of separating or detaching the audio device 30 from the vehicle interior material 130.

[0317] The connecting member 380 may be coupled (or attached) to the rear surface of the enclosure 310 and may be in contact (or surface contact) with the first surface 130s1 of the vehicle interior material 130, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, if the connecting member 380 is coupled (or attached) to the rear surface of the enclosure 310 and simply in contact (or surface contact) with the first surface 130s1 of the vehicle interior material 130, in a process (or rework) of separating or detaching the acoustic device 30 from the vehicle interior material 130, the process of separating and detaching (or reworking) the connecting member 380 from the vehicle interior material 130 may be easy without damaging the acoustic device 30 or the vehicle interior material 130.

[0318] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the connecting member 380 may be formed of a single-sided tape, a single-sided adhesive tape, a single-sided foam tape, a single-sided adhesive foam tape, a single-sided pad, a single-sided foam pad, a single-sided adhesive foam pad, a single-sided pad member, a single-sided cushion member, a single-sided cushion pad, or a single-sided cushion tape, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the connecting member 380 may be rubber, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the rubber may be a dual synthetic rubber (or ethylene propylene diene M class rubber), an ethylene propylene rubber, or a urethane rubber, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the ethylene propylene rubber may be ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the hardness of EPDM may be 40 to 90, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the tensile strength of EPDM is 50 kg / cm 2 ~200kg / cm 2 For example, the connecting member 380 may be made of highly elastic rubber, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0319] According to one embodiment of the present specification, since the connecting member 380 is made of rubber or the like, when vibrations of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 are transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130, loss of vibrations can be prevented or minimized, thereby further improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low-frequency range.

[0320] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting member 380 may be made of a different material than the adhesive layer 1315 (see FIG. 5 ) configured on the sound-generating module 330. The connecting member 380 may be made of a different material than the coupling member 320 of the acoustic device 30.

[0321] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the connecting member 380 may further include a hole 380o (or a first hole or an opening hole). For example, the connecting member 380 may further include a hole 380o connected to the opening 310o in the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311.

[0322] The hole 380o may be arranged to correspond to (or overlap) the opening 310o. The hole 380o may have the same shape as the opening 310o, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the hole 380o may have the same shape as the opening 310o and may have a size larger than the size of the opening 310o. As a result, sound caused by vibration of the sound generating module 330 may be output to the interior space (IS) of the vehicle through the opening 310o and the hole 380o. For example, the hole 380o may be an opening, an opening hole, a slit, a slot, a connecting hole, or an intermediate hole, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0323] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the hole 380o may correspond to (or overlap) the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130. The hole 380o may be between the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 and the opening 310o of the enclosure 310. For example, the hole 380o may be between the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 and the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311. The hole 380o may be connected to the opening 310o of the enclosure 310. For example, the hole 380o may be connected to the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311. The hole 380o may be disposed corresponding to the opening 310o. The hole 380o of the connecting member 380 may have the same size as the opening 310o and the hole 137, or may have a size larger than the opening 310o and the hole 137. As a result, sound generated by vibration of the sound generating module 330 can be output to the interior space of the vehicle through the opening 310o, the hole 380o, and the hole 137.

[0324] The thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be different from the thickness of at least one of the first connecting member 321 and the second connecting member 322. For example, the thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be thicker than the thickness of at least one of the first connecting member 321 and the second connecting member 322. The thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be 0.5 mm or more, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be 0.5 mm to 3 mm, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0325] According to other embodiments of the present specification, the connecting member 380 has a compressive force (or contractile force) and an elastic restoring force, and can be contracted or compressed by the connection between the coupling portion 500 and the first enclosure 311. The length (or thickness) of the connecting member 380 may be the same as or shorter than the length (or thickness) of the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the length (or thickness) of the connecting member 380 may be the same as or shorter than the length (or thickness) of the first enclosure 311.

[0326] The connecting member 380 may have an initial thickness (T1') as shown in FIG. 25 before compression (or contraction), and may be compressed (or contracted) to a deformed thickness (or compressed thickness) (T1) shown in FIG. 24 by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310 by the coupling (or connection) of the coupling part 500 and the enclosure 310. For example, when the acoustic device 30 is coupled to the vehicle interior material 130 by the coupling part 500, or when assembly and / or reworking is completed, the thickness of the connecting member 380 may be compressed from the initial thickness (T1') to the compressed thickness (T1), so that the vibration of the enclosure 310 may be efficiently transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130. For example, when the acoustic device 30 is separated (or detached) from the vehicle interior material 130 by the separation of the coupling part 500, the connecting member 380 may be restored to the initial thickness (T1') from the deformed thickness (T1) by the elastic restoring force.

[0327] The coupling unit 500 may be connected or coupled to the acoustic device 30 through the second hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130, the hole 380o of the connecting member 380, and the opening 310o of the enclosure 310 (in the direction of the arrow). For example, the coupling unit 500 may be connected or coupled to the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311 through the second hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 and the hole 380o of the connecting member 380 in the interior space of the vehicle. According to one embodiment of the present specification, the coupling unit 500 may be connected or coupled to the acoustic device 30 or the enclosure 310 through the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 (in the direction of the arrow) in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the coupling portion 500 may be accommodated or inserted into the hole 380o of the connecting member 380 and the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311 through the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the hook member 504 of the coupling portion 500 may be coupled or connected to the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311. For example, the hook member 504 of the coupling portion 500 may be inserted (or accommodated) into the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311 and coupled or connected to the home portion 311g of the first enclosure 311 by a hook coupling manner.

[0328] FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an audio device according to another embodiment of the present specification.

The connecting member 380 may be in direct contact with the one or more curved portions 136. For example, the connecting member 380 may be in direct contact with the one or more curved portions 136 without an intermediary or intermediate member.

[0330] The acoustic device 30 or the enclosure 310 may be coupled or connected to one or more curved portions 136 of the vehicle interior material 130 by a coupling member 380. For example, the coupling member 380 may be disposed between the enclosure 310 and the one or more curved portions 136 of the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the coupling member 380 may be disposed between the first enclosure 311 and the one or more curved portions 136 of the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the first enclosure 311 may be coupled or connected to one or more curved portions 136 of the vehicle interior material 130 by the coupling member 380.

[0331] The thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be different from the thickness of at least one of the first connecting member 321 and the second connecting member 322. For example, the thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be thicker than the thickness of at least one of the first connecting member 321 and the second connecting member 322. The thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be 0.5 mm or more, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 may be 0.5 mm to 3 mm, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the connecting member 380 may have a thickness (T1) compressed by the connecting force between the connecting portion 500 and the first enclosure 311 from the initial thickness (T1') shown in FIG. 25. Thereby, the connecting member 380 may be in surface contact with the vehicle interior material 130 including one or more curved surface portions 136 by the connecting force between the connecting portion 500 and the first enclosure 311.

[0332] According to an embodiment of the present specification, sound generated by the vibration of the sound generating module 330 may be output to the vehicle interior space through the opening 310o, the hole 380o, and the second hole 137. Also, according to an embodiment of the present specification, the vibration of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 generated by the sound (or sound pressure or sound waves) generated by the vibration of the sound generating module 330 is efficiently transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 having one or more curved surface portions 136 through the connecting member 380 without loss, and the vehicle interior material 130 having one or more curved surface portions 136 vibrates due to the vibration of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 transmitted through the connecting member 380 to output sound to the vehicle interior space, thereby further improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the low-frequency range.

This may further improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range, and the connecting member 380 made of a rubber material may facilitate the attachment or detachment process of the sound generating module 330 attached to the vehicle interior material 130.

[0334] Fig. 27 is a diagram showing an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 28 is an internal view of an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification. Figs. 27 and 28 show an acoustic device 30 described with reference to Figs. 1 to 26, to which at least one hole has been further configured. In the description of the acoustic device 30 described with reference to Figs. 1 to 26, the remaining description except for the description of the at least one hole may be included in the description of the acoustic device 30 shown in Figs. 27 and 28, so the same reference numbers are assigned to the same components and duplicated descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0335] 27 and 28, an acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification may further include one or more holes 331o.

[0336] One or more holes 331o may be configured in the vibration member 331. The one or more holes 331o may be formed to penetrate the vibration member 331. For example, the one or more holes 331o may be configured to penetrate the vibration member 331 along a thickness direction (Z) of the vibration member 331. For example, the one or more holes 331o may be formed to penetrate vertically along the thickness direction (Z) of the vibration member 331.

[0337] The sound generating module 330 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a vibrating member 331 including one or more holes 331 o and vibration devices 333 and 335 configured on the vibrating member 331 .

[0338] The one or more holes 331o may be configured to adjust the flow of air in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the one or more holes 331o may adjust the flow of air in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310, which is spatially separated by the vibration member 331. For example, the one or more holes 331o may be configured to adjust the flow of air between the first space 313a and the second space 313b, which are spatially separated by the vibration member 331, in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the one or more holes 331o may be a first hole, a vent hole, a ventilation hole, a duct hole, a first connection hole, a first communication hole, or a first space connection part, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0339] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the one or more holes 331o may be configured in a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape such as a square, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0340] The one or more holes 331o may be configured to reduce the air pressure in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the one or more holes 331o may be configured to connect the first space 313a and the second space 313b, which are spatially separated by the vibrating member 331, in the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the first space 313a and the second space 313b of the internal space 313 inside the enclosure 310 may be connected (or communicated) with each other through the one or more holes 331o. For example, the one or more holes 331o may be configured to reduce the air pressure in the first space 313a of the first enclosure 311, or the first space 313a provided between the vibrating member 331 and the first enclosure 311. This may extend the band (reproduction band) of the low-frequency band, thereby improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the low-frequency band. Furthermore, the one or more holes 331o in the vibrating member 331 allow the sound generating module 330 to vibrate more stably, so that the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics can be further improved.

[0341] According to one embodiment of the present specification, the internal space 313 may be between a first surface of the sound generating module 330 and the first enclosure 311, and may be connected to the opening 310o.

For example, the distance between the one or more holes 331o and the vibration devices 333 and 335 may be shorter than the distance between the one or more holes 331o and the side wall (or side) of the enclosure 310. For example, when the one or more holes 331o are located away from the vibration devices 333 and 335, the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the low frequency band may be reduced.

[0343] According to an embodiment of the present specification, one or more holes 331o may be configured in the vibration member 331 adjacent to the vibration devices 333, 335 with the vibration devices 333, 335 in between. For example, the vibration member 331 may include a first peripheral region adjacent to a first side of the vibration devices 333, 335 and a second peripheral region adjacent to a second side opposite to the first side of the vibration devices 333, 335. For example, based on the first direction (X), the vibration member 331 may include a first peripheral region, a vibration region, and a second peripheral region. For example, in the vibration member 331, each of the first and second peripheral regions may be a hole region or a region where the vibration devices 333, 335 are not arranged, and the vibration region may be a region where the vibration devices 333, 335 are arranged. For example, one or more holes 331o may be configured in a first peripheral region and a second peripheral region of the vibration member 331, respectively, to have a symmetrical structure (or a bilaterally symmetrical structure) or an asymmetrical structure (or a bilaterally asymmetrical structure) with respect to the vibration devices 333, 335.

This may improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range.

[0346] According to an embodiment of the present specification, one or more holes 331o may not overlap with the opening 310o.

[0374] The inventors of the present specification have recognized that acoustic characteristics differ depending on the structure of the coupling part 500. Therefore, the inventors of the present specification have conducted various studies and experiments on the structure of the coupling part 500. Through various studies and experiments, the inventors have invented an acoustic device including the coupling part 500 and a transportation device including the same, which can improve acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics. This will be described below.

[0375] Fig. 33 is a diagram showing an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 34 is a diagram showing a coupling section according to another embodiment of the present specification. Figs. 33 and 34 show an acoustic device 30 described with reference to Figs. 14 to 32 with a modified coupling section 500. In the following description, the coupling section 500 will be described in detail, and the remaining configuration is substantially the same as that described with reference to Figs. 14 to 32, so the same reference numbers are used therefor, and duplicated descriptions thereof may be omitted or simplified.

[0376] 33 and 34, in an acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification, the description of the coupling portion 500 is substantially the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 32, and therefore the same reference numbers are used therefor, and duplicate descriptions thereof may be omitted or simplified.

[0377] The coupling portion 500 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a chamfered portion 503a.

[0378] The coupling portion 500 may include a hollow portion 501 that is coupled to the interior space 313 of the enclosure 310 and has a chamfered portion 503a. The chamfered portion 503a may be configured in the hollow portion 501. For example, the hollow portion 501 may be coupled to the interior space 313 of the enclosure 310 through an opening 310o of the enclosure 310.

[0379] The vehicle interior material 130 may include a first surface and a second surface different (or opposite) from the first surface. The first surface may be a surface facing the enclosure 310. The vehicle interior material 130 may include a hole 137 configured on the first surface and the second surface. For example, the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 may be configured to penetrate the first surface and the second surface. For example, the latch member 503 may be configured to penetrate the hole (or through hole) 137 and be coupled to the second surface (or interior surface or back surface) 130s of the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the latch member 503 may include a chamfered portion 503a. For example, the latch member 503 may overlap the second surface of the vehicle interior material 130.

[0380] The chamfered portion 503a according to other embodiments of the present specification may include a non-right-angle shape. For example, the chamfered portion 503a may include one or more of a curved shape (or a round shape) and an inclined surface. For example, the chamfered portion 503a may have a curvature. The curvature of the chamfered portion 503a may change the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics. For example, when the chamfered portion 503a has a non-right-angle shape, the peaks and / or dips in the low to high frequency range may be improved, and the balance characteristics or flatness characteristics of the sound pressure may be improved, compared to when the chamfered portion 503a has a right-angle shape. Furthermore, the larger the curvature of the chamfered portion 503a, the more the flatness characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the high frequency range may be improved. Therefore, according to the embodiments of the present specification, by configuring the coupling portion 500 to have a round shape or an inclined surface, the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in a frequency band including the sound of the low frequency band can be improved, and the peaks and / or dips in the high frequency band can be improved, so that the balance characteristics of the sound pressure or the flatness characteristics of the sound pressure can be improved.

For example, the chamfer 503a may be configured in a non-right-angled shape in a region (or corner region) between the inner surface (or inner surface) of the hollow member 502 and the upper surface of the latch member 503. For example, the hollow portion 501 may be coupled to the interior space 313 through the opening 310o of the enclosure 310.

[0382] According to other embodiments of the present specification, the hollow portion 501 may be in a straight line shape, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. The hollow portion 501 may be in a straight line shape parallel to the second direction (Y) or the short side direction of the enclosure 310, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the hollow portion 501 may include a slit shape having a long axis and a short axis, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the long axis of the hollow portion 501 may be parallel to the second direction (Y) or the short side direction of the enclosure 310, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the short axis of the hollow portion 501 may be parallel to the first direction (X) or the long side direction of the enclosure 310, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the hollow portion 501 may be in a star (*) shape or a cross (+) shape as described with reference to FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. The shape of the chamfered portion 503 a can be applied in the same manner to various shapes of the hollow portion 501 .

[0383] According to other embodiments of the present specification, the coupling portion 500 may be configured to have a width (W). For example, the coupling portion 500 may include a latch member 503 having a width (W). For example, the latch member 503 may be configured to have a width (W). For example, the width (W) of the latch member 503 may be a length extending from an outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the hollow portion 501 in a direction parallel to the vehicle interior material 130 (or a first direction (X)). For example, the width (W) of the latch member 503 may be a length extending from a lower outer surface of the hollow member 502 in a direction parallel to the vehicle interior material 130 (or a first direction (X)). The latch member 503 having a width (W) may overlap at least one of the vehicle interior material 130, the connecting member 380, and the enclosure 310. For example, the width (W) of the latch member 503 may be the same as the length of the short axis of the hollow portion 501. The width (W) of the latch member 503 or the length of the minor axis of the hollow portion 501 may be 1 mm or more, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the width (W) of the latch member 503 or the length of the minor axis of the hollow portion 501 may be 1 mm to 5 mm or less, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0384] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the wider the width (W) of the latch member 503, the more improved the sound pressure characteristics may be, and the more reduced or minimized the inflow of dust or foreign matter from the outside may be. According to an embodiment of the present specification, the width (W) of the latch member 503 may be 1 mm or more, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the width (W) of the latch member 503 may be 1 mm to 5 mm, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

[0385] According to the embodiment of the present specification, since the width (W) of the latch member 503 is configured to be 1 mm or more, the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in a frequency band including the sound of the low frequency band may be improved, and since the peaks and / or dips in the high frequency band may be improved, the balance characteristics or flatness characteristics of the sound pressure may be improved. According to the embodiment of the present specification, since the width (W) of the latch member 503 is configured to be 1 mm or more, the inflow of dust or foreign matter from the outside may be reduced or minimized.

[0386] According to another embodiment of the present specification, the coupling portion 500 may be configured to have a length (L). The length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may be a length that allows the audio device 30 to be secured to the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may be smaller than the total thickness of the vehicle interior material 130, the connecting member 380, and the enclosure 310. Based on the thickness direction (Z) of the vehicle interior material 130, the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may correspond to the length of the hollow portion 501. The length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may correspond to the length between the latch member 503 and the hook member 504. For example, the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may be the length between the upper surface of the latch member 503 that contacts the vehicle interior material 130 and the lower surface of the hook member 504 that contacts the enclosure 310. The length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may be 10 mm or more, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may be 10 mm or more and less than 19 mm, but the embodiments herein are not limited thereto.

[0387] According to another embodiment of the present specification, the acoustic device 30 may be provided with improved acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics by being configured to include one or more of the shape of the coupling portion 500, the width (W) of the coupling portion 500, and the length (L) of the coupling portion 500. For example, the shorter the length (L) of the coupling portion 500, the better the sound pressure characteristics may be. According to an embodiment of the present specification, the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may be 10 mm or more, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 may be 10 mm or more and less than 19 mm, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, if the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 is shorter than 10 mm, the dip and / or peak of the sound may be improved, but there may be a problem in mounting the acoustic device on the roof trim of the vehicle. According to the embodiments of the present specification, since the length (L) of the coupling portion 500 is configured to be equal to or greater than 10 mm and less than 19 mm, the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in a frequency range including the sound of the low frequency range can be improved, and since the peaks and / or dips in the high frequency range can be improved, the balance characteristics of the sound pressure or the flatness characteristics of the sound pressure can be improved.

[0388] The coupling unit 500 described with reference to Figs. 33 and 34 may be applied to the acoustic device 30 described with reference to Figs. 26 to 32. For example, the coupling unit 500 of the acoustic device 30 described with reference to Figs. 26 to 32 may be changed to the coupling unit 500 described with reference to Figs. 33 and 34. For example, the description of the remaining configuration of the acoustic device 30 in Figs. 26 to 32, excluding the coupling unit 500, may be included in the description of the acoustic device 30 shown in Figs. 33 and 34, and therefore the overlapping description will be omitted. For example, an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification includes at least one or more of the first enclosure 311, one or more holes 331o, and at least one hole 410h of the protective member 410, and is configured to include one of the shape of the coupling unit 500, the width (W) of the coupling unit 500, and the length (L) of the coupling unit 500, so that the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the bass band and the mid-range band may be further improved and the sound reproduction band may be further expanded.

[0389] Fig. 35 is a diagram showing an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 35 shows another embodiment of the connecting member 380 described with reference to Fig. 24. Therefore, in the following description, overlapping descriptions of the remaining configuration except for the connecting member 380 can be omitted or simplified.

[0390] The inventors of the present specification have recognized that when configured with the connecting member 380 of FIG. 24, the edge portion of the connecting member 380 is not connected to or in contact with the vehicle interior material 130, resulting in a decrease in acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics. For example, they recognized that a loss of sound (or vibration transmission) occurs due to the edge portion of the connecting member 380 that is not connected to or in contact with the vehicle interior material 130. As a result, they recognized that the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low-frequency range are decreased. Therefore, the inventors of the present specification have conducted various research and experiments. Through various research and experiments, they have invented an acoustic device that can further improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low-frequency range, and a transportation device including the same. This will be described below.

[0391] Referring to FIG. 35, an acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a connecting member 380.

[0392] The connecting member 380 may include a first portion and a second portion. The second portion may be an edge portion of the enclosure 310. The second portion may be a portion (or region) between the interior material 130 and the edge portion of the enclosure 310. The first portion may be a remaining portion of the enclosure 310 excluding the edge portion. For example, the first portion may correspond to a central portion of the enclosure 310 surrounded by a second portion corresponding to the edge portion of the enclosure 310.

[0393] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first portion of the connecting member 380 may include an opening hole 380o connected to the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the first portion may include an opening hole 380o connected to the internal space 313 of the first enclosure 311.

[0394] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 may include one or more regions. For example, the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 may include a first region (A1), a second region (A2), and a third region (A3).

[0395] The first region (A1) may correspond to a central portion of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311. The first region (A1) may be in the central portion of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311. The second region (A2) may correspond to an edge portion surrounding the central portion of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311. The third region (A3) may be between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2). For example, the first portion of the connecting member 380 may be between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2). For example, the second portion of the connecting member 380 may be in the second region (A2).

[0396] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first and second portions of the connecting member 380 may have different thicknesses. For example, the connecting member 380 may include a first and a second portion having different thicknesses. In the connecting member 380, the thickness (T1) of the first portion may be different from the thickness (T1+T2) of the second portion. For example, in the connecting member 380, the thickness (T1+T2) of the second portion may be thicker than the thickness (T1) of the first portion. For example, the thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 in the first region (A1) may be different from the thickness (T1+T2) of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2). At least one of the thicknesses of the connecting member 380 in each of the first region (A1) and the third region (A3) may be different from the thickness (T1+T2) of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2). For example, the thickness (T1+T2) of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2) may be greater than the thickness (T1) of the connecting member 380 in the first region (A1).

[0397] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the second portion of the connecting member 380 has a thickness (T1+T2) greater than that of the first portion, so that the edge portion of the connecting member 380 can be connected to or contacted with the vehicle interior material 130 without lifting up. This can prevent the edge portion of the connecting member 380 from lifting up from the vehicle interior material 130, and vibrations within the edge portion of the enclosure 310 can be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 without loss of vibration (or vibration transmission) at the edge portion of the enclosure 310. The vibrations at the edge portion of the enclosure 310 increase the vibration area of ​​the vehicle interior material 130, so that the acoustic characteristics of the low-frequency range can be further improved or complemented. Therefore, the sound generated by the vibration of the acoustic device 30 can be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 without loss, so that the sound of the low-frequency range can be further improved. For example, sound generated by vibration of the acoustic device 30 may be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 through the opening 310o and the edge portion of the enclosure 310, thereby increasing the efficiency of the vibration transmitted from the enclosure 310 to the vehicle interior material 130 and further improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low-frequency range.

[0398] The connecting member 380 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first connecting member 381 and a second connecting member 382 .

[0399] The first connecting member 381 can be in a first portion and a second portion. The first connecting member 381 can be connected to the enclosure 310. The first connecting member 381 can be connected (or attached) to the first enclosure 311. The first connecting member 381 can be connected (or attached) to the back surface of the first enclosure 311. The first connecting member 381 can be connected (or attached) to the first to third regions (A1, A2, A3) of the enclosure 310. For example, the first connecting member 381 can be connected (or attached) to the entire back surface of the first enclosure 311.

[0400] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first connecting member 381 may include an opening hole 380o located in the first portion and connected to the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the first connecting member 381 may include an opening hole 380o located in the first portion and connected to the internal space 313 of the first enclosure 311.

[0401] The second connecting member 382 can be in the second portion. The second connecting member 382 can be connected to a portion of the first connecting member 381. The second connecting member 382 can be on the first connecting member 381 in the second portion. For example, the first portion can include only the first connecting member 381 of the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382. The first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 can be together in the second portion. For example, the second portion can include both the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382. For example, the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 can be together in the second region (A2).

[0402] The first and second portions of the connecting member 380 may have different widths (or sizes). The width of the first portion of the connecting member 380 may be smaller than the width of the second portion. For example, the width of the connecting member 380 in the first region (A1) and the third region (A3) may be smaller than the width of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2). Thus, the connecting member 380 may include first and second portions having different sizes (or widths) and thicknesses.

[0403] The second connecting member 382 may be at the edge of the first connecting member 381. The second connecting member 382 may be configured by being laminated to the first connecting member 381 in the second portion. For example, the second connecting member 382 may be configured by being laminated to the first connecting member 381 in the second region (A2). This allows the thickness (T1+T2) of the second portion of the connecting member 380 to be made thicker than the thickness (T1) of the first portion, so that the edge portion of the enclosure 310 can be connected to (or contact) the vehicle interior material 130 without lifting up. For example, the second connecting member 382 may be a cushion member or a pad member, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0404] The first connecting member 381 may be substantially the same as the connecting member 380 described with reference to FIG. 24, and therefore a duplicated description thereof will be omitted.

[0405] The second connecting member 382 may include the same material (or material) as the first connecting member 381, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, one of the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 may be made of a material having a relatively high elasticity (or Young's modulus). One of the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 may be a high elasticity rubber, etc., but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. One of the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 may be made of a material having a relatively high elasticity (or Young's modulus) and a relatively high tensile strength. For example, one of the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 may include a rubber material or may be made of a dual synthetic rubber (or ethylene propylene diene M class rubber), ethylene propylene rubber, or urethane rubber. For example, the ethylene propylene rubber may be ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the hardness of EPDM may be 40 to 90, but the examples of this specification are not limited thereto. For example, the tensile strength of EPDM is 50 kg / cm 2 ~200kg / cm 2For example, the minimum elongation of EPDM may be 200%, but the examples herein are not limited thereto. For example, the service temperature of EPDM may be -30°C to 110°C, but the examples herein are not limited thereto.

[0406] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the coupling member 320 may be made of a material different from that of the connecting member 380. For example, at least one of the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 may be made of a material having a higher elasticity than the coupling member 320.

[0407] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the connecting member 380 in the second portion may be greater than the width of the coupling member 320. For example, the width of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2) may be greater than the width of the coupling member 320.

[0408] According to one embodiment of the present specification, each of the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382 of the connecting member 380 has a compressive force (or contraction force) and an elastic restoring force, and can be contracted or compressed by the connection between the connecting portion 500 and the first enclosure 311. For example, the first connecting member 381 disposed (or interposed) between the first enclosure 311 and the vehicle interior material 130 can have a first thickness (T1) compressed by the pressure force of the first enclosure 311. The second connecting member 382 disposed (or interposed) between the first enclosure 311 and the vehicle interior material 130 can have a second thickness (T2) compressed by the pressure force of the first enclosure 311.

[0409] The first thickness (T1) of the first connecting member 381 may be the same as or different from the second thickness (T2) of the second connecting member 382. The first thickness (T1) of the first connecting member 381 and the second thickness (T2) of the second connecting member 382 may be 0.5 mm or more, but the examples of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, the first thickness (T1) of the first connecting member 381 and the second thickness (T2) of the second connecting member 382 may be 0.5 mm to 3 mm, but the examples of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0410] The acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present specification may further include an air gap (AG) in a region between the enclosure 310 and the vehicle interior material 130. For example, the air gap (AG) may be in a region between the first portion of the connecting member 380 and the vehicle interior material 130, or in a region between the first portion and the second portion of the connecting member 380. For example, the air gap (AG) may be in a third region (A3) between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2) of the enclosure 310. For example, the air gap (AG) may be in a region between the third region (A3) of the enclosure 310 and the vehicle interior material 130. For example, by providing the air gap (AG) in the third area (A3) between the first area (A1) and the second area (A2) of the enclosure 310, it is possible to separate or minimize interference between the vibrations of the first area (A1) and the second area (A2), thereby increasing the vibration force (or vibration amount) transmitted from the second area (A2) of the enclosure 310, for example, the edge portion, to the vehicle interior material 130. This allows the range (reproduction range) of the low-frequency band to be expanded, and therefore the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the low-frequency band can be further improved.

[0411] According to one embodiment of the present specification, by configuring the connecting member 380 to include first and second portions having different thicknesses, it is possible to provide an acoustic device 30 with improved acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range. According to one embodiment of the present specification, by configuring the second connecting member 382, ​​it is possible to increase the vibration area (or vibration region) of the roof trim when connecting the acoustic device 30 to the roof trim of a vehicle, thereby further improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range.

[0412] FIG. 36 is a diagram showing a method of connecting the acoustic device shown in FIG. 35 and a connecting portion according to another embodiment of the present specification.

[0413] 35 and 36, according to one embodiment of the present specification, a first connecting member 381 of connecting member 380 may be connected (or attached) to a rear surface (or a first part or a second part) of enclosure 310 or first enclosure 311 such that hole 380o overlaps (or is connected) with opening 310o of enclosure 310 or first enclosure 311, and a second connecting member 382 of connecting member 380 may be connected (or attached) to an edge portion (or a second part) of first connecting member 381.

[0414] The enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 may be disposed on the vehicle interior material 130 such that the opening 310o overlaps (or is connected to) the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130. The coupling part 500 may be coupled or connected to the acoustic device 30 or the enclosure 310 through the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 (in the direction of the arrow) in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the coupling part 500 may be coupled or connected to the acoustic device 30 or the enclosure 310 through the second hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 and the hole 380o of the first connecting member 381 (in the direction of the arrow) in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the coupling part 500 may be accommodated or inserted into the second hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130, the hole 380o of the first connecting member 381, and the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311 in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the hook member 504 of the coupling portion 500 may be coupled or connected to the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311. For example, the hook member 504 of the coupling portion 500 may be inserted (or received) in the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311 and coupled or connected to the home portion 311g of the first enclosure 311 by a hook coupling manner.

[0415] Therefore, the first enclosure 311 is connected (or in contact) with the vehicle interior material 130 by connection with the connecting portion 500 and by the first connecting member 381 and the second connecting member 382, ​​and can output sound by vibrating the vehicle interior material 130 through the vibration of the vibration device.

[0416] The first connecting member 381 may have an initial thickness (T1') before compression (or contraction), and may be compressed (or contracted) to a deformed thickness (or compressed thickness) (T1) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310 by the coupling (or connection) of the coupling part 500 and the enclosure 310. For example, when the coupling part 500 is coupled (or connected) to the enclosure 310, the thickness of the first connecting member 381 may be compressed from the initial thickness (T1') to the compressed thickness (T1) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310, so that the vibration of the first area (A1) in the first enclosure 311 may be efficiently transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 through the first part of the first connecting member 381. For example, when the acoustic device 30 is separated (or detached) from the vehicle interior material 130 by the separation of the coupling part 500, the first connecting member 381 may be restored from the deformed thickness (T1) to the initial thickness (T1') by the elastic restoring force.

[0417] The second connecting member 382 may have an initial thickness (T2') before compression (or contraction), and may be compressed (or contracted) to a deformed thickness (or compressed thickness) (T2) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310 when the connecting part 500 and the enclosure 310 are connected (or joined). For example, when the connecting part 500 is connected (or joined) to the enclosure 310, the thickness of the second connecting member 382 may be compressed from the initial thickness (T2') to the compressed thickness (T2) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310, so that vibrations of the second region (A2) in the first enclosure 311 may be efficiently transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 via the compressed first connecting member 381 and second connecting member 382. For example, when the acoustic device 30 is separated (or detached) from the vehicle interior material 130 by separating the coupling portion 500, the second connecting member 382 can be restored from the deformed thickness (T2) to the initial thickness (T2') by the elastic restoring force.

[0418] The vehicle interior material 130 connected (or in contact) with the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 can be deformed to include a bent portion or at least one curved portion by the connection (or coupling) between the coupling portion 500 and the enclosure 310, and thus lifting generated between the edge portion of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 and the vehicle interior material 130 can be prevented by the second portion of the coupling member 380 having a relatively large thickness. As a result, the vibration at the edge portion of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 caused by the vibration of the vibration device can be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 without loss, so that the efficiency of vibration transmitted from the enclosure 310 to the vehicle interior material 130 can be improved, and the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range can be further improved.

[0419] The acoustic device 30 described with reference to Fig. 35 and Fig. 36 may further include one or more holes 331o described with reference to Fig. 30, or may further include the protective member 410 described with reference to Fig. 31, or may further include one or more holes 331o and the protective member 410 and at least one hole 410h of the protective member 410 described with reference to Fig. 32, and the overlapping description thereof will be omitted. For example, an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification is configured to include at least one or more of the first enclosure 311, the one or more holes 331o, and the at least one hole 410h of the protective member 410, and to include one of the shape of the coupling part 500, the width (W) of the coupling part 500, and the length (L) of the coupling part 500, so that the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of each of the bass band and the mid-range band may be further improved, and the sound reproduction band may be further expanded.

[0420] Fig. 37 is a diagram showing an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 37 shows another embodiment of the connecting member 380 described with reference to Figs. 35 and 36. Therefore, in the following description, overlapping descriptions of the remaining configurations except for the connecting member 380 may be omitted or simplified. The description of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 described with reference to Figs. 35 and 36 and the description of the connecting member 380 may be included in the description of Fig. 37.

[0421] Referring to FIG. 37, an acoustic device 30 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a connecting member 380.

[0422] The connecting member 380 may include a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the connecting member 380 may include an opening hole 380o that is connected to the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the first portion of the connecting member 380 may include an opening hole 380o that is connected to the internal space 313 of the first enclosure 311. The enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 may include a first region (A1), a second region (A2), and a third region (A3).

[0423] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first and second portions of the connecting member 380 may have different thicknesses (T3, T4). For example, the connecting member 380 may include a first and a second portion having different thicknesses (T3, T4). In the connecting member 380, the thickness (T3) of the first portion may be different from the thickness (T4) of the second portion. For example, in the connecting member 380, the thickness (T4) of the second portion may be thicker than the thickness (T3) of the first portion. For example, the thickness (T3) of the connecting member 380 in the first region (A1) may be different from the thickness (T4) of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2). For example, the thickness (T4) of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2) may be thicker than the thickness (T3) of the connecting member 380 in the first region (A1). For example, the connecting member 380 may not be disposed in the third region (A3) between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2) or in the portion between the first portion and the second portion.

[0424] According to an embodiment of the present specification, since the second portion of the connecting member 380 has a thickness (T4) greater than that of the first portion, the edge portion of the connecting member 380 can be connected to or contacted with the vehicle interior material 130 without lifting up. This can prevent the edge portion of the connecting member 380 from lifting up from the vehicle interior material 130, and vibrations within the edge portion of the enclosure 310 can be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 without loss of vibration (or vibration transmission) at the edge portion of the enclosure 310. The vibrations at the edge portion of the enclosure 310 increase the vibration area of ​​the vehicle interior material 130, so that the acoustic characteristics of the low-frequency range can be further improved or complemented. Therefore, the sound generated by the vibration of the acoustic device 30 can be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 without loss, so that the sound of the low-frequency range can be further improved. For example, sound generated by vibration of the acoustic device 30 may be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 through the opening 310o and the edge portion of the enclosure 310, thereby increasing the efficiency of the vibration transmitted from the enclosure 310 to the vehicle interior material 130 and further improving the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low-frequency range.

[0425] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting member 380 may include a first connecting member 383 and a second connecting member 384 .

[0426] The first connecting member 381 may be connected to the enclosure 310. The first connecting member 381 may be in the first portion. The first connecting member 383 may be in only the first portion of the first portion and the second portion. The first connecting member 383 may be connected (or attached) to the first region (A1) of the enclosure 310. For example, the first connecting member 383 may be connected (or attached) to the back surface of the first enclosure 311 corresponding to the first portion of the first portion and the second portion. For example, the first connecting member 383 may be connected (or attached) to the center portion (or the back center portion) of the first enclosure 311. For example, the first connecting member 383 may be connected (or attached) to only the first region (A1) of the first to third regions (A1, A2, A3) of the enclosure 310.

[0427] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first connecting member 383 may include an opening hole 380o in the first portion and connected to the internal space 313 of the enclosure 310. For example, the first connecting member 383 may include an opening hole 380o in the first portion and connected to the internal space 313 of the first enclosure 311.

[0428] The second connecting member 384 can be in the second portion. The second connecting member 384 can be in only the second portion of the first portion and the second portion and can be separated from the first connecting member 383. The second connecting member 384 can be in the second portion of the first portion and the second portion so as to surround the first connecting member 383 with an air gap (AG) therebetween. The second connecting member 384 can be connected (or attached) to the second area (A2) of the enclosure 310. For example, the second connecting member 384 can be connected (or attached) to the back surface of the first enclosure 311 corresponding to the second portion of the first portion and the second portion. For example, the second connecting member 384 can be connected (or attached) to an edge portion (or a back edge portion) of the first enclosure 311. For example, the second connecting member 384 may be connected (or attached) only to the second area (A2) of the enclosure 310's first to third areas (A1, A2, A3).

[0429] The first and second portions of the connecting member 380 may have different widths (or sizes). The width of the first portion may be smaller than the width of the second portion. For example, the width of the first connecting member 383 in the first region (A1) may be smaller than the width of the second connecting member 384 in the second region (A2). Thus, the first connecting member 383 and the second connecting member 384 may include different sizes (or widths) and different thicknesses.

[0430] Each of the first connecting member 383 and the second connecting member 384 may be a cushion member or a pad member, although the embodiments herein are not limited thereto.

[0431] The first connecting member 383 may include the same material as the second connecting member 384. Each of the first connecting member 383 and the second connecting member 384 may be a highly elastic rubber, etc., but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, each of the first connecting member 383 and the second connecting member 384 may include a rubber material or be made of a dual synthetic rubber (or ethylene propylene diene M class rubber), an ethylene propylene rubber, or a urethane rubber.

[0432] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the connecting member 380 in the second portion may be greater than the width of the coupling member 320. For example, the width of the connecting member 380 in the second region (A2) may be greater than the width of the coupling member 320.

[0433] According to one embodiment of the present specification, each of the first connecting member 383 and the second connecting member 384 of the connecting member 380 has a compressive force (or contraction force) and an elastic restoring force, and can be contracted or compressed by the connection between the connecting portion 500 and the first enclosure 311. For example, the first connecting member 383 disposed (or interposed) between the first enclosure 311 and the vehicle interior material 130 can have a first thickness (T3) compressed by the pressure force of the first enclosure 311. The second connecting member 384 disposed (or interposed) between the first enclosure 311 and the vehicle interior material 130 can have a second thickness (T4) compressed by the pressure force of the first enclosure 311.

[0434] The first thickness (T3) of the first connecting member 383 may be different from the second thickness (T4) of the second connecting member 384. The first thickness (T3) of the first connecting member 383 and the second thickness (T4) of the second connecting member 384 may be 0.5 mm or more, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the first thickness (T3) of the first connecting member 383 and the second thickness (T4) of the second connecting member 384 may be 0.5 mm to 3 mm, but the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. For example, the first thickness (T3) of the first connecting member 383 and the second thickness (T4) of the second connecting member 384 may have different thicknesses from each other within a range of 0.5 mm to 3 mm. For example, the second thickness (T4) of the second connecting member 384 may be thicker than the first thickness (T3) of the first connecting member 383 within a range of 0.5 mm to 3 mm.

[0435] The acoustic device 30 according to other embodiments of the present specification may further include an air gap (AG). For example, the air gap (AG) may be in a region between the first portion of the connecting member 380 and the vehicle interior material 130, or in a region between the first portion and the second portion of the connecting member 380. For example, the air gap (AG) may be in a third region (A3) between the first region (A1) and the second region (A2) of the enclosure 310. For example, the air gap (AG) may be in a region between the third region (A3) of the enclosure 310 and the vehicle interior material 130. For example, by providing the air gap (AG) in the third area (A3) between the first area (A1) and the second area (A2) of the enclosure 310, it is possible to separate or minimize interference between the vibrations of the first area (A1) and the second area (A2), thereby increasing the vibration force (or vibration amount) transmitted from the second area (A2) of the enclosure 310, for example, the edge portion, to the vehicle interior material 130. This allows the range (reproduction range) of the low-frequency band to be expanded, and therefore the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the low-frequency band can be further improved.

[0436] According to one embodiment of the present specification, by configuring the first and second connecting members 383, 384 to have different thicknesses (T3, T4), it is possible to provide an acoustic device 30 having improved acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range. According to one embodiment of the present specification, by configuring the second connecting member 384, it is possible to increase the vibration area (or vibration region) of the roof trim when connecting the acoustic device 30 to the roof trim of a vehicle, so that it is possible to further improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range.

[0437] FIG. 38 is a diagram showing a method of connecting the acoustic device shown in FIG. 37 and a connecting portion according to another embodiment of this specification.

[0438] 37 and 38, according to one embodiment of the present specification, a first connecting member 383 of the connecting member 380 is connected (or attached) to a central portion (or a first portion) of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 such that the hole 380o overlaps (or is connected) with the opening 310o of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311, and a second connecting member 384 of the connecting member 380 is connected (or attached) to an edge portion (or a second portion) of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311.

[0439] The enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 is disposed on the vehicle interior material 130 such that the opening 310o overlaps (or is connected to) the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130. The coupling part 500 may be coupled or connected to the acoustic device 30 or the enclosure 310 through the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 (in the direction of the arrow) in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the coupling part 500 may be coupled or connected to the acoustic device 30 or the enclosure 310 through the second hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130 and the hole 380o of the first connecting member 383 (in the direction of the arrow) in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the coupling part 500 may be accommodated or inserted into the hole 137 of the vehicle interior material 130, the hole 380o of the first connecting member 383, and the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311 in the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the hook member 504 of the coupling portion 500 may be coupled or connected to the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311. For example, the hook member 504 of the coupling portion 500 may be inserted (or received) in the opening 310o of the first enclosure 311 and coupled or connected to the home portion 311g of the first enclosure 311 by a hook coupling manner.

[0440] Therefore, the first enclosure 311 is connected (or in contact) with the vehicle interior material 130 by connection with the connecting portion 500 and by the first connecting member 383 and the second connecting member 384, and can output sound by vibrating the vehicle interior material 130 through the vibration of the vibration device.

[0441] The first connecting member 383 may have an initial thickness (T3') before compression (or contraction), and may be compressed (or contracted) to a deformed thickness (or compressed thickness) (T3) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310 by the coupling (or connection) of the coupling part 500 and the enclosure 310. For example, when the coupling part 500 is coupled (or connected) to the enclosure 310, the thickness of the first connecting member 383 may be compressed from the initial thickness (T3') to the compressed thickness (T3) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310, so that the vibration of the first area (A1) in the first enclosure 311 may be efficiently transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 via the first connecting member 383. For example, when the acoustic device 30 is separated (or detached) from the vehicle interior material 130 by the separation of the coupling part 500, the first connecting member 383 may be restored from the deformed thickness (T3) to the initial thickness (T3') by the elastic restoring force.

[0442] The second connecting member 384 may have an initial thickness (T4') before compression (or contraction), and may be compressed (or contracted) to a deformed thickness (or compressed thickness) (T4) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310 by the coupling (or connection) of the coupling part 500 and the enclosure 310. For example, when the coupling part 500 is coupled (or connected) to the enclosure 310, the thickness of the second connecting member 384 may be compressed from the initial thickness (T4') to the compressed thickness (T4) by the pressure applied from the enclosure 310, so that the vibration of the second region (A2) in the first enclosure 311 may be efficiently transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 through the compressed second connecting member 384. For example, when the acoustic device 30 is separated (or detached) from the vehicle interior material 130 by the separation of the coupling part 500, the second connecting member 384 may be restored from the deformed thickness (T4) to the initial thickness (T4') by the elastic restoring force.

[0443] The vehicle interior material 130 connected (or in contact) with the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 can be deformed to include a bent portion or at least one curved portion by the connection (or coupling) between the coupling portion 500 and the enclosure 310, and thus lifting generated between the edge portion of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 and the vehicle interior material 130 can be prevented by the second coupling member 384 having a relatively large thickness. As a result, vibration at the edge portion of the enclosure 310 or the first enclosure 311 caused by the vibration of the vibration device can be transmitted to the vehicle interior material 130 without loss, so that the efficiency of vibration transmitted from the enclosure 310 to the vehicle interior material 130 can be improved, and the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range can be further improved.

[0444] The acoustic device 30 described with reference to Fig. 37 and Fig. 38 may further include one or more holes 331o described with reference to Fig. 30, or may further include the protective member 410 described with reference to Fig. 31, or may further include one or more holes 331o and the protective member 410 and at least one hole 410h of the protective member 410 described with reference to Fig. 32, and the overlapping description thereof will be omitted. For example, an acoustic device according to another embodiment of the present specification is configured to include at least one or more of the first enclosure 311, the one or more holes 331o, and the at least one hole 410h of the protective member 410, and to include one of the shape of the coupling portion 500, the width (W) of the coupling portion 500, and the length (L) of the coupling portion 500, so that the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics of the bass band and the mid-range band may be further improved, and the sound reproduction band may be further expanded.

[0445] Fig. 39 is a diagram showing a vibration device according to one embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 39 shows an example in which a signal supplying member is further configured in addition to the sound generating module of the acoustic device described with reference to Figs. 3 to 38. Therefore, in the following description, overlapping descriptions of the remaining configuration except for the signal supplying member can be omitted or simplified.

[0446] 39, the sound generating module 330 or the vibration devices 333, 335 according to an embodiment of the present specification may further include a signal supplying member 1320 electrically connected to the vibration generating unit 1311. For example, each of the first and second vibration devices 333, 335 may further include a signal supplying member 1320 electrically connected to the vibration generating unit 1311.

[0447] In each of the first and second vibrating devices 333, 335, the signal supplying member 1320 may be configured to supply a drive signal supplied from the drive circuit unit to the vibration generating unit 1311.

An end (or terminal or one side) 1320e of the signal supplying member 1320 may be disposed or inserted (or accommodated) in a portion between an edge portion on one side of the cover member 1313 and the vibration member 331. The portion between the edge portion on one side of the cover member 1313 and the vibration member 331 may accommodate the end 1320e of the signal supplying member 1320 or cover it from above and below. Thereby, the signal supplying member 1320 may be integrated with the vibration generating unit 1311. Therefore, the sound generating module 330 or the first and second vibration devices 333, 335 may be realized in the form of a film integrated with the signal supplying member 1320. For example, the signal supplying member 1320 may be configured as one part with the vibration generating unit 1311, thereby achieving the effect of uni-materialization. For example, the signal supply member 1320 may be comprised of a signal cable, a flexible cable, a flexible printed circuit cable, a flexible flat cable, a single-sided flexible printed circuit, a single-sided flexible printed circuit board, a flexible multi-layer printed circuit, or a flexible multi-layer printed circuit board, although examples herein are not limited thereto.

[0450] The first signal line 1321 and the second signal line 1322 may protrude (or extend) from the body of the signal supply member 1320 so as to be parallel to each other in the second direction (Y) from the body. For example, each of the first signal line 1321 and the second signal line 1322 may be individually bent or curved.

[0451] The first signal line 1321 may be electrically connected to the first electrode unit 1311b of the vibration generating unit 1311. For example, the first signal line 1321 may be electrically connected to or directly connected to at least a portion of the first electrode unit 1311b of the vibration generating unit 1311 at an edge portion on one side of the cover member 1313. For example, the first signal line 1321 may be directly connected to or directly contact with the first electrode unit 1311b between the first electrode unit 1311b of the vibration generating unit 1311 and the home portion of the vibrating member 331. Thus, the first signal line 1321 may supply the first driving signal supplied from the vibration driving unit to the first electrode unit 1311b of the vibration generating unit 1311.

[0452] The second signal line 1322 may be electrically connected to the second electrode unit 1311c of the vibration generating unit 1311. For example, the second signal line 1322 may be electrically connected to or directly connected to at least a portion of the second electrode unit 1311c of the vibration generating unit 1311 at an edge portion on one side of the cover member 1313. For example, the second signal line 1322 may be directly connected to or directly contact with the second electrode unit 1311c between the cover member 1313 and the second electrode unit 1311c of the vibration generating unit 1311. Thus, the second signal line 1322 can supply the second driving signal supplied from the vibration driving unit to the second electrode unit 1311c of the vibration generating unit 1311.

[0453] According to one embodiment of the present specification, in each of the first and second vibration devices 333, 335, the first signal line 1321 and the second signal line 1322 of the signal supplying member 1320 are integrated with the vibration generating unit 1311, so that a soldering process for electrical connection between the vibration generating unit 1311 and the signal supplying member 1320 is not required, thereby simplifying the structure and manufacturing process of the vibration devices 333, 335, thereby having the effect of improving harmful processes.

Fig. 40 shows an example in which a signal supplying member is further configured in the sound generating module of the sound device described with reference to Fig. 10 and Fig. 11.
