Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field of the present invention without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1-6, the present invention provides a speaker 1000, including a shell 1 with a receiving space 10 and a sound unit 2 accommodated in the receiving space 10, and the sound unit 2 divides the receiving space 10 into a front cavity 101 and a rear cavity 102.

[0042] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6, the vibration system 22 also includes a flexible support member 7 spaced apart from the diaphragm 3 and an auxiliary diaphragm 8 fixed to the side of the flexible support member 7 away from the diaphragm 3. The flexible support member 7 is fixed between the basin frame 21 and the first extension portion 62. The setting of the auxiliary diaphragm 8 can improve the low-frequency performance of the product.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in FIG2 , the magnetic circuit system 23 includes a lower clamping plate 231, a central magnetic circuit 232 fixed to the lower clamping plate 231, and a side magnetic circuit 234 arranged around the central magnetic circuit 232 to form a magnetic gap 233.

After power is turned on, the voice coil 4 interacts with the magnetic circuit system 23 to drive the diaphragm 3 to vibrate and make sound.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the internal fixed portion 3111 has a cover-like structure, and has a top wall 3111a, a side wall 3111b extending from the top wall 3111a toward the lower clamping plate 231, and a bottom wall 3111c bent and extended from the side wall 3111b and fixed on the top surface of the second center magnet 2323. The top wall 3111a is attached to the top surface of the third center magnet 2324, and the side wall 3111b is attached to the side surface of the third center magnet 2324.

The fixing component 9 includes a first fixing component 91 and a second fixing component 92 clamped between the lower shell 12 and the sound unit 2. The setting of the fixing component 9 can not only clamp and fix the sound unit 2, but also ensure the stability of the sound unit 2 when the loudspeaker falls to prevent noise; it can also increase the volume of the rear cavity 102 and improve the acoustic performance; it should be noted that the first fixing component 91 and the second fixing component 92 have different thicknesses in the direction from the upper shell 11 to the lower shell 12, so as to adapt to speaker shells of different shapes and sizes. In this embodiment, the thickness of the first fixing component 91 is greater than that of the second fixing component 92.

[0046] Compared with the related art, the present invention provides a notch portion 3131 formed by removing at least part of the rubber on the rubber membrane body 313 at the second side 322 away from the sound outlet 11a for balancing the amplitude of the first side 321 and the second side 322, thereby balancing the acoustic resistance on the sound outlet side and the non-sound outlet side, reducing the difference in maximum amplitude, improving the acoustic stability of the product, and keeping the low-frequency amplitude unaffected.

[0047] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art in the field of the present invention may make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, but these improvements shall all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
