In other words, the third damper 21 is formed with concentric waveforms that continue in the radial direction.

[0043] In the speaker device 1, when an input audio signal is supplied to the first voice coil 15, the first voice coil 15 vibrates in the sound emission direction in response to the input audio signal due to interaction with the magnetic flux in the first magnetic circuit 10. The vibration of the first voice coil 15 in the sound emission direction vibrates the first bobbin 14. Then, the vibration of the first bobbin 14 is transmitted to the diaphragm 18, and the speaker device 1 emits sound forward from the diaphragm 18.

[0044] In the speaker device 1, the vibration system including the first voice coil 15 and the first bobbin 14 is centered in the radial direction of the first bobbin 14 by the third damper 21. In addition, in the speaker device 1, the third damper 21 damps radial vibrations generated in the first voice coil 15 and the first bobbin 14.

[0045] Vibrations of the first voice coil 15 in the sound output direction are transmitted to the members around the speaker device 1 via the third damper 21, the diaphragm 18, and the first frame 12. The speaker device 1 has a second voice coil 17, a second magnetic circuit 11, etc. to suppress transmission of vibrations of the first voice coil 15 in the sound output direction to the members around the speaker device 1.

[0046] The speaker device 1 generates vibrations in the second voice coil 17 corresponding to the vibrations of the first voice coil 15 in the sound emission direction. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, when vibrations are generated such that the first voice coil 15 moves forward, the speaker device 1 supplies an input signal to the second voice coil 17 so as to generate vibrations such that the second voice coil 17 moves backward. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of directions in which forces are generated by the vibrations of the first voice coil 15 and the second voice coil 17 in the speaker device 1.

[0047] That is, the speaker device 1 vibrates the second voice coil 17 so as to cancel unnecessary vibrations of the first magnetic circuit 10 and the like caused by the vibration of the first voice coil 15 in the sound output direction. The speaker device 1 supplies an input signal to the second voice coil 17 so as to generate vibrations in the opposite direction to the vibration of the first voice coil 15 in the sound output direction. As a result, vibrations in the opposite direction to the vibration of the first voice coil 15 in the sound output direction are transmitted to the first magnetic circuit 10 via the second magnetic circuit 11. Therefore, transmission of vibrations to members around the speaker device 1 is suppressed.

[0048] In the speaker device 1, the second bobbin 16 around which the second voice coil 17 is wound is supported from the outside in the radial direction of the second bobbin 16 by the first damper 19. Furthermore, the second bobbin 16 is supported from the inside in the radial direction of the second bobbin 16 by the second damper 20. In the speaker device 1, the vibration system including the second voice coil 17 and the second bobbin 16 is centered by the first damper 19 and the second damper 20. Furthermore, in the speaker device 1, the first damper 19 and the second damper 20 damp radial vibrations generated in the second voice coil 17 and the second bobbin 16.

[0049] In a speaker device 200 according to a comparative example that does not use the second damper 20 of the embodiment, dampers 200a and 200b are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction as shown in Fig. 3 in order to center the second voice coil 17, etc. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an outline of the speaker device 200 according to the comparative example.

[0050] However, in the speaker device 200 according to the comparative example, the dampers 200a and 200b are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction, and therefore the thickness in the front-rear direction, that is, in the sound output direction, is large.

[0051] In contrast, the speaker device 1 according to the embodiment includes a first magnetic circuit 10, a second magnetic circuit 11, a first voice coil 15, a second voice coil 17, a first damper 19, and a second damper 20. The first magnetic circuit 10 has a first magnetic gap 33 formed therein and is provided on the sound output side. The second magnetic circuit 11 has a second magnetic gap 43 formed therein and is provided on the rear side of the first magnetic circuit 10, in the direction opposite to the sound output side. The first voice coil 15 is disposed in the first magnetic gap 33. The second voice coil 17 is disposed in the second magnetic gap 43. The first damper 19 supports the second voice coil 17. The second damper 20 is disposed radially inward of the first damper 19 and supports the second voice coil 17.

[0052] This allows the speaker device 1 to reduce the thickness of the speaker unit 3 in the sound emission direction while centering the second voice coil 17 and the like by the first damper 19 and the second damper 20. The speaker device 1 can be easily installed on, for example, a thin member or a thin device.

[0053] Furthermore, in the speaker device 1, by providing the second damper 20 on the inner side of the first damper 19, the inside of the second bobbin 16 can be closed without using a cap 201 (see FIG. 3).

[0054] The speaker device 1 includes a support member 60 (rear side support member). The support member 60 supports the second damper 20 from the inside in the radial direction of the second damper 20.

[0055] As a result, the speaker device 1 can accurately determine the position of the second damper 20 by supporting the second damper 20 from the inside in the radial direction of the second damper 20. Therefore, the speaker device 1 can accurately center the second bobbin 16 and the second voice coil 17. Furthermore, the speaker device 1 can damp radial vibrations generated in the second voice coil 17 and the second bobbin 16 inside the second bobbin 16.

[0056] (Second embodiment) Next, a speaker device 100 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an outline of the speaker device 100 according to the second embodiment. The speaker device 100 according to the second embodiment will be described mainly focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0057] The diaphragm 101 is provided behind the third damper 21. The diaphragm 101 is formed so as to be recessed from the rear to the front.

[0058] The speaker unit 110 further includes a fourth damper 111. The fourth damper 111 supports the first voice coil 15. The fourth damper 111 supports the first voice coil 15 via the first bobbin 14. The fourth damper 111 is provided more inward than the third damper 21. The fourth damper 111 is formed in an annular shape. The fourth damper 111 is provided between the first bobbin 14 and a support member 112 (sound-emitting-side support member). The support member 112 is, for example, a resin member. The support member 112 is cylindrical. The support member 112 is provided on the radially central side of the plate 31 of the first magnetic circuit 10. The support member 112 is provided coaxially with the plate 31 of the first magnetic circuit 10. The support member 112 is attached to the plate 31 of the first magnetic circuit 10. The support member 112 is provided coaxially with the support member 60 .

[0059] The inner peripheral end of the fourth damper 111 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the support member 112. The fourth damper 111 is formed in a bellows shape with repeated concave and convex patterns along the radial direction. The bellows shape is formed around the entire circumferential direction of the fourth damper 111. In other words, the fourth damper 111 is formed with concentric waveforms that continue in the radial direction.

[0060] In the speaker device 100, a vibration system including the first voice coil 15 and the first bobbin 14 is centered in the radial direction of the first bobbin 14 by the third damper 21 and the fourth damper 111. Furthermore, in the speaker device 100, the third damper 21 and the fourth damper 111 damp radial vibrations generated in the first voice coil 15 and the first bobbin 14.

[0061] In the speaker device 100, vibrations of the first voice coil 15 in the sound output direction are transmitted to the first magnetic circuit 10 via the fourth damper 111 and the support member 112. In the speaker device 1, vibrations of the second voice coil 17 in the sound output direction are transmitted to the second magnetic circuit 11 via the second damper 20 and the support member 60.

[0062] Therefore, the speaker device 100 can reduce unnecessary vibrations that occur when emitting sound by the vibrations transmitted to the second magnetic circuit 11.

[0063] The speaker device 100 includes a third damper 21 and a fourth damper 111. The third damper 21 supports the first voice coil 15. The fourth damper 111 is provided radially inward of the third damper 21 relative to the first voice coil 15, and supports the first voice coil 15.

[0064] As a result, the speaker device 100 can center the first voice coil 15 and the like by the third damper 21 and the fourth damper 111, and can reduce the thickness of the speaker device 100 in the sound output direction.

[0065] The speaker device 100 includes a support member 112 (sound-emitting-side support member). The support member 112 supports the fourth damper 111 from the inside in the radial direction of the fourth damper 111.

[0066] As a result, the speaker device 100 can accurately determine the position of the fourth damper 111 by supporting the fourth damper 111 from the radially inner side of the fourth damper 111. Therefore, the speaker device 100 can accurately center the first bobbin 14 and the first voice coil 15. Furthermore, the speaker device 100 can damp radial vibrations generated in the first voice coil 15 and the first bobbin 14 inside the first bobbin 14.

[0067] In a speaker device 100 according to a modified example of the second embodiment, the support members 60, 112 may be integrally provided. For example, the speaker device 100 according to the modified example may be provided as a single support member 120 as shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing an outline of the speaker device 100 according to the modified example. In the speaker device 100 according to the modified example, the single support member 120 is provided so as to penetrate the first magnetic circuit 10 and the second magnetic circuit 11. The support member 120 is attached to the first magnetic circuit 10 and the second magnetic circuit 11. In the speaker device 100 according to the modified example, the two support members 60, 112 may be joined at their ends.

[0068] As a result, in the speaker device 100 according to the modified example, vibrations of the first bobbin 14 and the first voice coil 15 in the sound emission direction and vibrations of the second bobbin 16 and the second voice coil 17 in the sound emission direction are transmitted to the integrally provided support member 120. Therefore, the speaker device 100 according to the modified example can reduce unnecessary vibrations of the first bobbin 14 and the first voice coil 15 in the sound emission direction by the vibrations of the second bobbin 16 and the second voice coil 17 transmitted via the support member 120.

[0069] In the speaker device 1, 100 according to the modified example, the second damper 20 may be circular. For example, the second damper 20 is formed such that the center side of the second damper 20, i.e., the vicinity of the center in the radial direction, is flat. The vicinity of the center of the flat plate shape of the second damper 20 is attached to the support member 60, 112. In the speaker device 100 according to the modified example, the fourth damper 111 may also be circular.

[0070] In the speaker devices 1 and 100 according to the modified examples, the inner peripheral end of the second damper 20 may be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the plate 41 of the second magnetic circuit 11. That is, the second damper 20 may be provided between the plate 41 of the second magnetic circuit 11 and the second voice coil 17.

[0071] Furthermore, in the speaker device 1, 100 according to the modified example, the magnetization direction of the magnet of the first magnetic circuit and the magnetization direction of the magnet of the second magnetic circuit may be opposite to each other. As a result, the speaker device 1, 100 according to the modified example can generate vibration in the second voice coil 17 in the opposite direction to the vibration of the first voice coil 15 in the sound output direction, thereby reducing the vibration in the sound output direction.

[0072] Although the speaker devices 1 and 100 according to the above embodiment and the modified example have been described as being of an internal magnet type, they may also be of an external magnet type.

[0073] Further advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described above. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
