[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, a multifunctional feedback device is provided, and as shown in Figures 1 to 8, the multifunctional feedback device includes a frame 1, a magnetic circuit system 2 fixed within the frame 1, and a vibration system 3 connected to the frame 1 and driven by the magnetic circuit system 2 to produce sound along a thickness direction, and the multifunctional feedback device further includes a tactile system 4 installed opposite the vibration system 3, and the tactile system 4 includes a drive unit 41 installed at a distance from the magnetic circuit system 2 and driven by the magnetic circuit system 2 to vibrate along the thickness direction, a first elastic member 42 connected to the drive unit 41 and fixed to the frame 1, and a tactile material 43 connected to the side of the first elastic member facing away from the drive unit 41.

[0027] In this embodiment, the magnetic circuit system 2 drives the vibration system 3 to make sound along the thickness direction, and the driving unit 41 is elastically connected to the frame 1, and the magnetic circuit system 2 drives the driving unit 41 in the tactile system 4 to vibrate along the thickness direction, so that the driving unit 41 drives the tactile material 43 to vibrate, and finally transmits the vibration signal to the skin. By mounting the vibration system 3 and the tactile system 4 in one housing and sharing the same magnetic circuit system 2, not only can the transmission of audio signals be realized, but also tactile feedback can be realized by the vibration signal, achieving the effect of multi-function feedback, and also saving costs and occupancy space due to sharing one magnetic circuit system 2.

[0028] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 to 8, the magnetic circuit system 2 includes a first magnetic yoke 21 fixedly connected to the frame 1, a magnetic steel 22 fixed within the first magnetic yoke 21, and a pole plate 23 fixed to the side of the magnetic steel 22 adjacent to the vibration system 3, and the first magnetic yoke 21 has an accommodating cavity 215, and the driving unit 41 is accommodated within the accommodating cavity 215.

[0029] Specifically, the pole plate 23 has a plate-like structure, one surface of the pole plate 23 contacts the top surface of the magnetic steel 22, and the bottom surface of the magnetic steel 22 contacts the bottom surface of the first magnetic yoke 21.

[0030] In the first and second embodiments, the first magnetic yoke 21 is provided with groove walls 211 on four sides, each extending from the bottom surface toward the magnetic circuit system 2. The groove walls 211 and the magnetic steel 22 form a magnetic gap, and the wall surfaces of the two symmetrical groove walls 211 abut against the inner wall of the frame 1. The first magnetic yoke 21 is provided with convex blocks 212 at four corners, and the frame 1 is provided with positioning blocks 11 corresponding to the positions of the convex blocks 212, and the side walls of the convex blocks 212 abut against the side walls of the positioning blocks 11. The first magnetic yoke 21 is further provided with a concave groove 213 on the inner side of the convex block 212. The frame 1 is correspondingly provided with a protrusion structure 12, the protrusion structure 12 is located in the concave groove 213, and the protrusion structure 12 is further provided with a position limiting groove 13 on the inner side, and the side corners 214 of the first magnetic yoke 21 are located in the position limiting groove 13. The above structure realizes a stable connection between the first magnetic yoke 21 and the frame 1, and at the same time makes it easy to assemble the first magnetic yoke 21 and the frame 1 together.

[0031] In the third embodiment, the first magnetic yoke 21 has groove walls 211 on both sides thereof, each extending from the bottom surface toward the magnetic circuit system 2. The groove walls 211 and the magnetic steel 22 form a magnetic gap. The first magnetic yoke 21 has grooves 213 on the inner four corners thereof. The frame 1 has protrusion structures 12 correspondingly installed thereon, and the protrusion structures 12 are located in the grooves 213. The magnetic circuit system 2 further includes a connecting member 25. The connecting member 25 is fixed between the pole plate 23 and the first magnetic yoke 21. The above structure realizes a stable connection between the first magnetic yoke 21, the frame 1, and the magnetic circuit system 2, and at the same time, facilitates the assembly of the first magnetic yoke 21, the frame 1, and the magnetic circuit system 2. It should be understood that the connecting member 25 mainly plays a role of enhancing the connection stability of the magnetic circuit system 2 in the frame 1, and does not have a magnetic conduction function.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 to 6, the driving unit 41 includes an iron core 411 fixedly mounted on the side of the first elastic member 42 facing away from the tactile material 43, and a coil 412 fitted around the outside of the iron core 411, and both the iron core 411 and the coil 412 are housed within the housing cavity 215.

[0033] Specifically, the coil 412 has a hollow structure, and the iron core 411 is inserted into the coil 412. The first magnetic yoke 21 is provided with a receiving cavity 215. The multi-function feedback device further includes a second flexible circuit board 6 connected to both ends of the receiving cavity 215, with a top surface contacting the driving part 41 and a bottom surface contacting the first elastic member 42. The coil 412 is electrically connected to the second flexible circuit board, and the tactile material 43 directly contacts the skin. The iron core 411 is a paramagnetic material, and therefore has a large magnetic permeability. When the iron core 411 is inserted into the energized coil 412, the iron core 411 is magnetized by the magnetic field of the energized coil 412, which greatly increases the magnetic induction strength inside the iron core 411, and the magnetized iron core 411 also becomes a magnet, and thus the two magnetic fields overlap each other, thereby greatly improving the magnetism of the coil 412. The driving unit 41 is elastically connected to the frame 1, and the magnetic circuit system 2 generates a driving force for the driving unit 41 to vibrate along the thickness direction, and the driving unit 41 provides a thrust to the tactile material 43, thereby enabling the driving unit 41 to drive the vibration of the tactile material 43, and finally transmitting the vibration signal to the skin to achieve the effect of tactile feedback.

[0034] The connection relationship between the magnetic circuit system 2 and the tactile system 4 in this embodiment can be implemented in three different ways. 3 and 5, in the first embodiment, the magnetic circuit system 2 further includes a pole plate ring 24 fixed to the magnetic steel 22 and fitted around the coil 412, and there is a gap between the pole plate ring 24 and the coil 412. Furthermore, the magnetic steel 22 is provided with a retraction groove 221 communicating with the accommodating cavity 215, and the pole plate ring 24 is fitted into the retraction groove 221.

[0035] Specifically, the top surface of the second flexible circuit board 6 contacts the bottom surface of the coil 412, the pole plate ring 24 is installed surrounding the outside of the coil 412, the height of the pole plate ring 24 is smaller than the height of the coil 412, a part of the outer wall of the pole plate ring 24 contacts the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 215 of the first magnetic yoke 21, another part of the outer wall of the pole plate ring 24 contacts the inner wall of the retreat groove 221, and a gap exists between the inner wall of the pole plate ring 24 and the coil 412.

[0036] In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the driving unit 41 further includes a second magnetic yoke 44 that is fixed to the first elastic member 42 and covers the outside of the iron core 411 and the coil 412.

[0037] Specifically, the second magnetic yoke 44 is installed in the accommodating cavity 215 of the first magnetic yoke 21, the outer surface of the bottom of the second magnetic yoke 44 is connected to the second flexible circuit board 6 and the inner surface of the bottom is in contact with the driving part 41, and a gap exists between the outer surface of the side of the second magnetic yoke 44 and the magnetic steel 22.

[0038] In the third embodiment, the magnetic steel 22 includes a first magnetic steel 222 and a second magnetic steel 223, the second magnetic steel 223 is installed outside the first magnetic steel 222 and has a gap with the first magnetic steel 222, and correspondingly, a first pole plate 231 and a second pole plate 232 are installed, the second pole plate 232 is fitted outside the first pole plate 231, the bottom surface of the first pole plate 231 contacts the top surface of the first magnetic steel 222, and the bottom surface of the second pole plate 232 contacts the top surface of the second magnetic steel 223. By setting the cooperation of the first magnetic steel 222 and the second magnetic steel 223, the magnetism can be enhanced.

[0039] Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments, the first elastic member 42 is installed as a spring, which is fixed to the side of the first magnetic yoke 21 facing away from the vibration system 3, and the spring is attached to the iron core 411 and the coil 412 respectively, and the tactile material 43 can be a polymeric soft flexible material such as a square silica gel or rubber.

[0040] The magnetic circuit system 2 generates a driving force for the driving unit 41 to vibrate along the thickness direction, which deforms the spring to generate an elastic force, and the spring acts on the flexible material, thereby enabling the driving unit 41 to drive the vibration of the tactile material 43, and finally transmitting the vibration signal to the skin to achieve the effect of tactile feedback.

[0041] In the third embodiment, the first elastic member 42 may be a sealing film 421, which is fixed to the side of the first magnetic yoke 21 facing away from the vibration system 3, and the sealing film 421 is attached to the iron core 411 and the coil 412. The tactile material 43 may be an outer push block 431. The outer push block 431 may be in the form of a rectangular cover. The outer push block 431 is attached to the side of the sealing film 421 facing away from the drive unit 41, and covers a part of the sealing film 421. The material of the outer push block 431 may be a material such as silica gel or rubber.

[0042] By making the first elastic member 42 into a sealing film 421, the feedback device can be sealed, the feedback device can be isolated from the outside, and external dust or sweat on the skin, etc. can be effectively prevented from flowing into the inside of the feedback device and affecting the normal use of the feedback device.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 to 6, a magnetic gap is formed between the first magnetic yoke 21 and the magnetic steel 22, and the vibration system 3 includes a vibrating membrane 31 connected to the frame 1, a dome 32 connected to the vibrating membrane 31, and a voice coil 33 connected to the dome 32 and inserted in the magnetic gap.

[0044] Specifically, a folded edge 311 is provided on one side of the outer edge of the diaphragm 31 that is spaced apart from the dome 32 and that is connected to the edge of the frame 1, thereby ensuring the strength of the connection between the diaphragm 31 and the frame 1. The diaphragm 31 includes an inner edge 312 that is connected to the dome 32, and a folded ring 313 that is located between the folded edge 311 and the inner edge 312, and the folded ring 313 protrudes toward the magnetic circuit system 2. After being energized, the voice coil 33 moves perpendicular to the direction of the current in the voice coil 33 by being driven by the magnetic circuit system 2, and the movement of the voice coil 33 drives the up and down vibration of the diaphragm 31, and the vibration of the diaphragm 31 drives the vibration of the air, thereby allowing a person to feel the sound.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 to 6, the multi-function feedback device includes two first flexible circuit boards 5 symmetrically installed at both ends of the magnetic circuit system 2, and each of the first flexible circuit boards 5 has one end fixed to the frame 1 and the other end fixedly connected to the side of the voice coil 33 that is away from the dome 32.

[0046] Specifically, the first flexible circuit board 5 is electrically connected to the voice coil 33. The circuits in which the voice coil 33 and the coil 412 are located are independent of each other, so that the voice coil 33 and the coil 412 can operate individually or simultaneously. This makes it easy for the user to decide whether to operate the coil 412 and the voice coil 33 in different application scenarios. In another embodiment, one flexible circuit board having two circuits that are not in communication may be adopted, and the two circuits are respectively connected to the coil 412 and the voice coil 33, so that the current supply to the coil 412 and the current supply to the voice coil 33 may be synchronous or not synchronous, and the sound and vibration may be performed simultaneously or independently.

[0047] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the multifunction feedback device further includes a second elastic member 7 disposed between the magnetic circuit system 2 and the driving unit 41.

[0048] Specifically, the second elastic member 7 can be a rectangular parallelepiped silica gel, and in the first embodiment of this embodiment, one side of the silica gel contacts the pole plate 23 and the other side is connected to the driving unit 41. In the second embodiment, one side of the silica gel contacts the magnetic steel 22 and the other side is connected to the driving unit 41. The silica gel plays a protective role when the coil 412 is energized and vibrates, and since the silica gel has elasticity, it can increase the pressing force of the magnetic circuit system 2 against the driving unit 41 by being connected between the magnetic circuit system 2 and the driving unit 41. In other embodiments, a compression spring, an elastic sheet, etc. may be installed in the second elastic member 7.
