[Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a partial enlarged view of region B in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] In the following, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative labor shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the present invention provides a speaker 100, which includes a frame 10, and a vibration system 20 and a magnetic circuit system 30 fixed to the frame 10.

[0021] The vibration system 20 includes a vibrating membrane 21 and a voice coil 22 that drives the vibration sound of the vibrating membrane 21. The vibrating membrane 21 includes a dome portion 210 and a suspension portion 201 surrounding the dome portion 210. The dome portion 210 includes a first metal dome 211 having a through hole 2113 and a second dome 212 covering the through hole 2113. The first metal dome 211 is located between the suspension portion 201 and the second dome 212 and is fixedly connected to the suspension portion 201 and the second dome 212. Here, the first metal dome 211 may be an aluminum dome or other metal dome, which is easy to process, light, and thin. The second dome 212 may be an aluminum dome or a composite dome including an aluminum foil layer and a carbon fiber layer, which can improve the rigidity of the second dome 212 and can improve the high-frequency performance of the speaker 100. In another embodiment, the second composite dome may be formed by compounding with other materials.

[0022] Specifically, the first metal dome 211 includes a main body portion 2110, a first fixed portion 2111 connecting the second dome 212, and a second fixed portion 2112 connecting the suspension portion 201, the main body portion 2110 being located between the first fixed portion 2111 and the second fixed portion 2112, the second dome 212 including a main body portion 2121 and a groove 2122 recessed from the outer edge of the main body portion 2121 in the direction 30 of the magnetic circuit system, the main body portion 2121 being disposed within the through hole 2113, and the lower surface of the first fixed portion 2111 being fixedly connected to the groove 2122. In this embodiment, the upper surface of first fixing portion 2111 and the upper surface of main body portion 2121 are located in the same plane, that is, dome portion 210 is formed by combining second dome 212 and first metal dome 211, but this does not increase the height of speaker 100, makes full use of the internal space of speaker 100, and improves the strength of dome portion 210.

[0023] The suspension portion 201 includes an arc-shaped portion 2010, a first connecting portion 2011 extending inward from one end of the arc-shaped portion 2010, and a second connecting portion 2012 extending outward from the other end of the arc-shaped portion 2010. The second fixing portion 2112 includes a connecting arm 21120 extending from the main body portion 2110 in a direction 30 toward the magnetic circuit system, and a support arm 21121 extending outward from the connecting arm 21120, and the lower surface of the first connecting portion 2011 is fixedly connected to the support arm 21121. The arc-shaped portion 2010 extends recessed in the direction 30 toward the magnetic circuit system, which makes it easy to reduce the overall height of the speaker 100. In another embodiment, the arc-shaped portion 2010 may extend protruding in a direction away from the magnetic circuit system 30.

[0024] Furthermore, the voice coil 22 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the main body 2110 of the first metal dome 211, and the voice coil 22 is close to the dome made of metal, so that heat dissipation of the voice coil 22 can be facilitated.

[0025] The magnetic circuit system 30 includes a bottom plate 31 fixed to the frame 10, a main magnetic steel 321 and a sub-magnetic steel 322 fixed to the bottom plate 31 and spaced apart from each other, a main pole plate 331 attached to the main magnetic steel 321, and a sub-pole plate 332 attached to the sub-magnetic steel 322. The sub-pole plate 332 is provided with a fixed post 3320 that is bent and extends to the suspension part 201, and a second connection part 2012 of the suspension part 201 is fixedly connected to the fixed post 3320 of the sub-pole plate 332. The suspension part 201 is further provided with an extension part 2013 that is bent and extends from the second connection part 2012 to the magnetic circuit system 30, and the extension part 2013 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed column 3320, thereby increasing the connection area between the suspension part 201 and the fixed column 3320 and improving the fixing strength between the suspension part 201 and the fixed column 3320. The sub-pole plate 332 is further provided with a retreat part 3321 that is recessed in a direction away from the vibrating membrane 21, and the projection of the arc-shaped part 2010 along the vibration direction of the vibrating membrane 21 is at least partially located in the retreat part 3321, so that the retreat part 3321 can provide a vibration space for the arc-shaped part 2010.

[0026] The dome section 210 of the present invention is formed by connecting the first metal dome 211 and the second dome 212, which not only makes it easier to mold the dome section but also improves the strength and high frequency performance of the speaker. In addition, the second dome 212 is disposed in the through hole 2113 of the first metal dome 211, which saves space in the speaker 100 and does not increase the height of the speaker 100 by providing two domes.

[0027] The above is merely an embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make further improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
