Background Art

[0002] A sound emitting device in related art includes a magnetic circuit system and a vibration system. The vibration system includes a diaphragm and a voice coil that drives the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. The voice coil is formed by winding a single wire.

[0003] The driving force F of the voice coil is F = BLI, where B is the electromagnetic induction intensity of the magnetic circuit system, L is the total length of the wire of the voice coil, and I is the current flowing through the wire of the voice coil. When B and L are constant, in order to improve the driving force of the voice coil, it is necessary to improve I. When the voltage across the voice coil is constant, that is, in order to reduce the resistance of the wire of the voice coil, it is necessary to replace the wire of the voice coil with a thicker one, which results in an increase in the weight of the voice coil. The increase in the vibration mass affects the mid-frequency performance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new voice coil and a sound emitting device to which the voice coil is applied to solve the above technical problems.

Compared with the related art, when B, L, and the voltage at both ends of the voice coil are constant, the voltage at both ends of each sub-coil body conducted by the incoming wire region and the outgoing wire region is the same as that of the prior art. The resistance is reduced due to the reduction of the assigned wire length.

The coil body portion 11 / 11' formed in this way has different outer shapes, for example, has irregular structures such as steps and concave grooves formed thereon, so that it can adapt to different application environments.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 4, the present invention further provides a sounding device 200. The sounding device 200 includes a voice coil 100 / 100' and a magnetic circuit system 201, and the voice coil 100 / 100' is inserted into the magnetic gap 202 of the magnetic circuit system 201.

The free end 205 is fixed to the voice coil 100 / 100'. The free end 205 has two pads, one pad 206 is connected to the incoming wire region, and the other pad 207 is connected to the outgoing wire region. The mounting fixed end 204 may be fixed to a fixed position of the sounding device 200, and the flexible circuit board 203 serves a dual function of conducting electricity to the voice coil 100 / 100' and providing auxiliary support.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 5, the present invention further provides another voice coil 300. The voice coil 300 further includes one incoming wire 32 and one outgoing wire 33 connected to the coil body portion 31 based on the aforementioned voice coil 100 / 100'. The incoming wire 32 is connected to the incoming wire region 34, and the outgoing wire 33 is connected to the outgoing wire region 35.

Compared with the related art, when B, L, and the voltage at both ends of the voice coil are constant, the voltage at both ends of each sub-coil body conducted by the incoming wire region and the outgoing wire region is the same as that of the prior art. The resistance becomes smaller due to the reduction of the assigned wire length. In order to obtain the same driving force as the prior art, conversely, the resistance of the sub-coil body may be increased, so that a wire with a lighter mass and a larger resistance can be selected, the vibration mass is lighter, and the intermediate frequency is better.
