[Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the skeleton structure of the coaxial speaker shown in FIG.

[Diagram 5] 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the coaxial speaker shown in FIG. 4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below 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, 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.

[0021] 1 to 5, the coaxial speaker includes a frame 1, and a vibration system 3 and a magnetic circuit system 5 fixedly held to the frame 1.

[0022] The vibration system 3 includes a diaphragm 6 and a voice coil 7, and the voice coil 7 drives the diaphragm 6 to vibrate and produce sound.

[0023] The vibrating membrane 6 includes a first vibrating membrane 61, a second vibrating membrane 63 provided to surround the first vibrating membrane 61, and a third vibrating membrane 65. The outer peripheral edge of the first vibrating membrane 61 and the inner peripheral edge of the second vibrating membrane 63 are both fixed to the magnetic circuit system 5, the outer peripheral edge of the second vibrating membrane 63 is fixed to the frame 1, and the outer peripheral edge of the third vibrating membrane 65 is fixed to the side of the magnetic circuit system 5 away from the first vibrating membrane 61.

[0024] The voice coil 7 includes a first voice coil 71 that drives the vibration of the third vibrating membrane 65, and a second voice coil 73 that drives the vibration of the second vibrating membrane 63.

[0025] Here, the first vibrating membrane 61, the second vibrating membrane 63, the third vibrating membrane 65, the first voice coil 71, and the second voice coil 73 are all coaxially arranged. In this manner, each vibration unit of the vibration system 3 can be arranged coaxially.

[0026] The vibration generated by the third diaphragm 65 due to the driving action of the first voice coil 71 produces a high-pitched sound, and the vibration generated by the second diaphragm 63 due to the driving action of the second voice coil 73 produces a low-pitched sound (i.e., the second diaphragm 63 is used to produce low-pitched sounds). In this way, the range of the frequency band of the coaxial speaker can be increased. In addition, since the second diaphragm 63 and the third diaphragm 65 are disposed on both opposing sides of the magnetic circuit system 5, the conversion efficiency of high-pitched sounds can be improved.

[0027] The magnetic circuit system 5 has a transmission chamber 5A, an inner magnetic gap 5B incorporating the transmission chamber 5A, and an outer magnetic gap 5C incorporating the inner magnetic gap 5B. Here, the transmission chamber 5A penetrates the magnetic circuit system 5, the first voice coil 71 is inserted into the inner magnetic gap 5B, the second voice coil 73 is inserted into the outer magnetic gap 5C, and the first vibrating membrane 61 and the third vibrating membrane 65 seal the transmission chamber 5A. The first and third diaphragms 61 and 65 seal the transmission chamber 5A, so that the vibration energy generated by the third diaphragm 65 due to the driving action of the first voice coil 71 is transmitted to the first diaphragm 61 through the transmission chamber 5A and the first diaphragm 61 vibrates (i.e., when the third diaphragm 65 vibrates, the first diaphragm 61 is forced to vibrate) to generate a high-pitched sound, that is, the high-pitched sound generated by the third diaphragm 65 is generated by the first diaphragm 61 through the transmission chamber 5A. In this way, the coaxial speaker can generate high and low sounds on the same side, and the length of the front chamber from the vibration system to the sound outlet can be shortened, which not only reduces the energy loss caused by the resonance of the front chamber, but also the first and third diaphragms 61 and 65 can ensure the waterproofness of the treble unit. On the other hand, the vibration unit involving the third diaphragm 6 may also be applied to a handset, and during the assembly and application process of the entire device, by drilling a hole on the back of the housing, the sound waves on both the front and back sides of the coaxial speaker can be offset in the far field, and the sound waves on the front side in the near field (i.e., the side where the first diaphragm 61 is located) can provide normal calling function, and finally realize the privacy calling function.

[0028] Specifically, the magnetic circuit system 5 includes a yoke 51, a main magnetic portion 53 surrounded by an outer magnetic gap 5C, and a sub-magnetic portion 55 fixed between the yoke 51 and the frame 1 and spaced apart from the main magnetic portion 53 to form the outer magnetic gap 5C.

[0029] The yoke 51 has a third through hole 511 formed therein.

[0030] The main magnetic part 53 includes a first magnet 531 fixed to the yoke 51, and a second magnet 533 and a main pole plate 535 provided on the side of the first magnet 531 facing the first vibrating membrane 61. The outer peripheral edge of the first vibrating membrane 61 and the inner peripheral edge of the second vibrating membrane 63 are both fixed to the second magnet 533, and the outer peripheral edge of the third vibrating membrane 65 is fixed to the side of the yoke 51 away from the main magnetic part 53.

[0031] A first through hole 532 is formed in the first magnet 531. That is, the first magnet 531 has a continuous annular structure.

[0032] A second through hole 534 is formed in the second magnet 533. That is, the second magnet 533 has a continuous annular structure.

[0033] The main pole plate 535 includes a wall portion 537 inserted into the first through hole 532 and dividing the first through hole 532 into an internal magnetic gap 5B and an enclosed chamber 5D, and a plate portion 539 connected to the wall portion 537 and interposed between the first magnet 531 and the second magnet 533, where the transmission chamber 5A includes the second through hole 534, the third through hole 511 and the enclosed chamber 5D.

[0034] In this embodiment, the wall 537 is a continuous annular structure. That is, the inner magnetic gap 5B and the surrounding chamber 5D are separated by the wall 537, and the transfer chamber 5A includes the second through hole 534, the third through hole 511, and the surrounding chamber 5D, but does not include the inner magnetic gap 5B. As will be understood, in other embodiments, the wall 537 may be configured with a plurality of separate structures spaced apart. That is, the inner magnetic gap 5B and the surrounding chamber 5D may communicate with each other through the gaps between the separate parts of the wall 537, and the transfer chamber 5A further includes the inner magnetic gap 5B in addition to the second through hole 534, the third through hole 511, and the surrounding chamber 5D.

[0035] The sub-magnetic portion 55 includes a third magnet 551 fixed to the yoke 51, and a sub-pole plate 553 fixed between the third magnet 551 and the frame 1. That is, the magnetic circuit system 5 is fixed to the frame 1 by fixing the sub-pole plate 553 to the frame 1.

[0036] Here, the first magnet 531, the second magnet 533, and the third magnet 551 are all magnetized along the vibration direction of the vibrating membrane 6, and the first magnet 531 and the second magnet 533 are arranged with the same poles facing each other, and the magnetization directions of the first magnet 531 and the third magnet 551 are opposite.

[0037] In addition, the first magnet 531, the second magnet 533 and the third magnet 551 may be made of artificial magnetic steel or may be made by processing natural magnets. The main pole plate 535 and the sub pole plate 553 are both made of magnetically conductive material.

[0038] Furthermore, the magnetic circuit system 5 is not limited to the above structure, and for example, in other embodiments, the sub-magnetic portion 55 may not be provided, and correspondingly, the magnetic circuit system 5 can be fixed to the frame 1 by fixing the yoke 51 to the frame 1. Alternatively, the outer magnetic gap may be formed by spacing the yoke and the main magnet apart from each other. Specifically, the yoke is provided to include a bottom wall fixed to the first magnet 531, and a side wall extending from the bottom wall and spaced apart from the main magnet to form the outer magnetic gap.

[0039] 3 and 5, the second vibrating membrane 63 includes an inner membrane body 631, an outer membrane body 633 surrounding the inner membrane body 631, and a skeleton 635, and the skeleton 635 includes a flat plate portion 637 connecting the inner membrane body 631 and the outer membrane body 633, and a first connection portion 638 extending from the flat plate portion 637 toward the outer magnetic gap 5C and connected to the second voice coil 73. Here, the inner peripheral edge of the inner membrane body 631 is fixed to the second magnet 533, and the outer peripheral edge of the outer membrane body 633 is fixed to the frame 1.

[0040] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the skeleton 635 further includes a second connection portion 639 extending from the flat plate portion 637 and spaced apart from the first connection portion 638, and the vibration system 3 further includes an elastic support member 8, one end of which is connected to the second connection portion 639 and the other end of which is connected to the frame 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are two elastic support members 8, and the two elastic support members 8 are provided at an interval along the longitudinal direction of the coaxial speaker. In this manner, the elastic support members 8 can suppress the swinging of the second voice coil 73 in the longitudinal direction, thereby improving the sound quality.

[0042] The elastic support member 8 includes a flexible circuit board 81 fixed to the side of the frame 1 away from the second vibrating membrane 63 and electrically connected to the second voice coil 73, and an auxiliary vibrating membrane 83 fixed to the side of the flexible circuit board 81 away from the second vibrating membrane 63.

[0043] In this embodiment, fixed frames 57 are fixed on both opposing sides of the magnetic circuit system 5, and the outer periphery of the first vibrating membrane 61 and the outer periphery of the third vibrating membrane 65 are fixed to the inner wall of the fixed frame 57. Specifically, one fixed frame 57 is fixed to the side of the second magnet 533 away from the first magnet 531, and another fixed frame 57 is fixed to the side of the yoke 51 away from the first magnet 531. That is, the first vibrating membrane 61 and the third vibrating membrane 65 are both indirectly fixed to the magnetic circuit system 5 by the fixed frame 57, and thus, both opposing sides of the first vibrating membrane 61 and the third vibrating membrane 65 have sufficient vibration space, making it possible to avoid creating a structure for preventing the vibration of the first vibrating membrane 61 and the third vibrating membrane 65 in the second magnet 533 and the yoke 51, which helps to increase the magnetic field strength in the inner magnetic gap 5B and the outer magnetic gap 5C by increasing the volume of the second magnet 533 and the magnetic conductivity of the yoke 51.

[0044] In addition, since there is sufficient vibration space on both opposing sides of the first vibrating membrane 61 and the third vibrating membrane 65 (i.e., both the first vibrating membrane 61 and the third vibrating membrane 65 have a certain gap between them and the magnetic circuit system), in this embodiment, the transmission chamber 5A further includes a space between the first vibrating membrane 61 and the magnetic circuit system 5, and a space between the third vibrating membrane 65 and the magnetic circuit system 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first vibrating membrane 61 and the third vibrating membrane 65 have the same structure. Taking the third vibrating membrane 65 as an example, the third vibrating membrane 65 includes a third membrane body 651 and a third dome 653, and the outer periphery of the third membrane body 651 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed frame 57. 651 of Inner rim is fixed to the third dome 653.

[0046] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art may further improve the present invention without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, and it should be understood that all of these fall within the scope of the present invention.
