Description

Sound production module and electronic device TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electroacoustics, and in particular to a sound production module and an electronic device using the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, portable intelligent devices are increasingly thin and light, especially folding products. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for ultra-thin micro sound production modules, such as loudspeaker modules, in terminal devices.

[0003] A conventional DPS (Digital Signal Processing) loudspeaker integrates two sets of vibration systems together through a shared magnetic circuit. Both sets of vibration systems need to reserve upper vibration space and sound outlet pipelines at the end of the whole machine, and both sets of vibration systems have two sets of diaphragms. Each set of diaphragm needs two vibration spaces, i.e., upper vibration space and lower vibration space, and two sets of diaphragms need four vibration spaces, which occupies a large thickness space of the DPS product. When the thickness of the DPS product is reduced, in order to maintain the performance under the EQ (Equalizer) of the product, i.e., to maintain the product at low frequency, the input voltage of the loudspeaker is increased, the displacement of each frequency point of the loudspeaker is pushed to Xmax, so as to maximize the performance of the product. Therefore, the magnet, the dust cap, and the yoke in the magnetic circuit unit need to be thinned. However, the magnetic circuit unit that is too thin has a high fragmentation rate during transportation, cleaning, and magnetization, which leads to a sharp increase in material cost. In addition, because the magnet, the dust cap, and the yoke in the magnetic circuit unit are thinned to different degrees, the risk of damage to the product due to falling increases, and the reliability and yield of the product are also greatly reduced, which cannot complete mass production.

[0067] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0068] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present application involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in a certain posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the certain posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly.

[0069] In addition, if the description of "first", "second" and the like is involved in the embodiments of the present application, the description of "first", "second" and the like is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of the ordinary skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor within the protection scope required by the present application.

[0070] At present, portable intelligent devices are increasingly thin and light, especially folding products. Therefore, terminal devices have higher and higher requirements for ultra-thin micro sound generation modules, such as loudspeaker modules.

[0071] A conventional DPS (Digital Signal Processing) loudspeaker integrates two sets of vibration systems together through a shared magnetic circuit. Both sets of vibration systems need to reserve upper vibration space and sound outlet pipeline at the end of the whole machine, and both sets of vibration systems have two sets of diaphragms. Each set of diaphragm needs two vibration spaces, i.e., upper vibration space and lower vibration space, and two sets of diaphragms need four vibration spaces, which occupies a large thickness space of the DPS product. When the thickness of the DPS product is reduced, in order to maintain the performance under the EQ (Equalizer) of the product, i.e., to maintain the product at low frequency, increase the input voltage of the loudspeaker, push the displacement of each frequency point of the loudspeaker to Xmax, and thus maximize the performance of the product, a larger vibration space needs to be reserved in the product and at the end of the whole machine, so only the magnet, the dust cap, and the yoke in the magnetic circuit unit can be thinned. However, the fragmentation rate of the too-thin magnetic circuit unit is high during transportation, cleaning, and magnetization, which leads to a sharp increase in material cost. In addition, because the magnet, the dust cap, and the yoke in the magnetic circuit unit are thinned to different degrees, the risk of drop damage of the product is increased, and the reliability and yield of the product are also greatly reduced, which cannot complete mass production.

[0072] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sound generation module and an electronic device to solve or at least alleviate the above technical problems.

[0073] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the present application provides a sound generation module 200, which includes a shell 50 and a sound generation unit 100. The shell 50 includes a first module shell 52 and a second module shell 53 arranged along a first direction, and the first module shell 52 and the second module shell 53 form an accommodation cavity 51. The sound generation unit 100 is accommodated in the accommodation cavity 51 and forms a front cavity 511 and a rear cavity 512 between the sound generation unit 100 and the shell 50.

[0074] The sound emitting monomer 100 comprises a magnetic circuit system and a vibration system, wherein the magnetic circuit system comprises a plurality of magnetic circuit units 20 distributed along a second direction, each magnetic circuit unit 20 comprises a first magnetic assembly 21 and a second magnetic assembly 22 arranged at intervals along a first direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the first magnetic assembly 21 has a first magnetic gap 211, and the second magnetic assembly 22 has a second magnetic gap 221; the vibration system comprises a plurality of vibration units 30, each magnetic circuit unit 20 corresponds to a vibration unit 30, each vibration unit 30 is arranged between the first magnetic assembly 21 and the second magnetic assembly 22 of the corresponding magnetic circuit unit 20, each vibration unit 30 comprises a diaphragm 31 and a voice coil 32 connected with the diaphragm 31, the diaphragm 31 comprises a vibration plate 311 and a folded ring 312 annularly arranged on the vibration plate 311 along the second direction, the voice coil 32 comprises a first voice coil 32 part and a second voice coil 32 part located on both sides of the vibration plate 311 along the first direction, the first voice coil 32 part is located in the first magnetic gap 211 of the corresponding magnetic circuit unit 20, and the second voice coil 32 part is located in the second magnetic gap 221 of the corresponding magnetic circuit unit 20.

[0075] In the first working state, at least one vibration unit 30 radiates sound waves of a first phase outward, and the remaining at least one vibration unit 30 radiates sound waves of a second phase outward, the first phase and the second phase are opposite phases, and the shell 50 is provided with a sound outlet hole 54 corresponding to the vibration unit 30, the sound outlet hole 54 communicates with the front cavity 511, and the sound waves of the vibration unit 30 are radiated outward through the corresponding sound outlet hole 54.

[0076] The sound emitting monomer 100 in the sound emitting module 200 can be a loudspeaker monomer, specifically a DPS loudspeaker monomer, and can be applied in the sound emitting module 200 of an electronic device, which can be a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device or the like. The embodiment takes the sound emitting module 200 as a loudspeaker module as an example for description.

[0077] The first direction is a vertical direction shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, which is an up-down direction, and the second direction is a horizontal direction shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, which is a left-right direction.

[0078] In an embodiment, the shell 50 is provided with a sound outlet hole 54, and the shell 50 comprises a first module shell 52 and a second module shell 53 arranged along the first direction, that is, the first module shell 52 and the second module shell 53 are arranged along the up-down direction, wherein the first module shell 52 is located on the upper side of the second module shell 53, and the first module shell 52 and the second module shell 53 enclose a containing cavity 51 to accommodate the sound emitting monomer 100, so that the structure is compact.

[0079] The sound production unit 100 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 51, and forms a front cavity 511 and a rear cavity 512 between the sound production unit 100 and the shell 50. The sound hole 54 is in communication with the front cavity 511, and normal sound emission of the sound production module 200 is realized. Specifically, the shell 50 has a sound guide channel for each vibration unit 30 to radiate sound waves. The sound guide channel is in communication with the sound hole 54, so that the sound waves emitted by the vibration unit 30 can pass through the sound guide channel and the sound hole 54 to realize normal sound emission of the sound production module 200.

[0080] In the sound production unit 100, the magnetic circuit system includes a plurality of magnetic circuit units 20 distributed along the second direction, i.e., along the horizontal direction. Each magnetic circuit unit 20 corresponds to a vibration unit 30, so that the plurality of magnetic circuit units 20 and the plurality of vibration units 30 are distributed along the horizontal direction. Each magnetic circuit unit 20 includes a first magnetic assembly 21 and a second magnetic assembly 22. The first magnetic assembly 21 and the second magnetic assembly 22 are spaced apart along the up-down direction, and the vibration unit 30 is located between the first magnetic assembly 21 and the second magnetic assembly 22 of the corresponding magnetic circuit unit 20, i.e., the first magnetic assembly 21 and the second magnetic assembly 22 are located on the upper side and the lower side of the vibration unit 30, respectively. The first magnetic assembly 21 and the second magnetic assembly 22 provide driving force for the voice coil 32 of the corresponding vibration unit 30, so that the voice coil 32 vibrates along the first direction, and in turn drives the diaphragm 31 to vibrate along the first direction, realizing vibration sound production.

[0081] The diaphragm 31 includes a vibration plate 311 and a folded ring 312. The folded ring 312 is annularly arranged on the vibration plate 311 along the second direction, i.e., along the horizontal direction. The first voice coil 32 part and the second voice coil 32 part of the voice coil 32 are located on the upper side and the lower side of the vibration plate 311, respectively. The first voice coil 32 part is located in the first magnetic gap 211 of the corresponding magnetic circuit unit 20, and the second voice coil 32 part is located in the second magnetic gap 221 of the corresponding magnetic circuit unit 20. When the voice coil 32 is energized, the first voice coil 32 part and the second voice coil 32 part move reciprocally in the first magnetic gap 211 and the second magnetic gap 221, respectively, to cut the magnetic force lines, drive the diaphragm 31 to vibrate up and down, and in turn drive the air to produce sound, thereby completing the energy conversion between electricity and sound.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 9, in the sound production module 200 of the present application, each magnetic circuit unit 20 includes a first magnetic assembly 21 and a second magnetic assembly 22 arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the vibration unit 30, respectively, thereby realizing a double magnetic circuit design of the sound production module 200. The magnetic field distribution in the vibration region of the voice coil 32 is uniform, and a larger driving force that changes slowly and smoothly with displacement can be provided for the voice coil 32, as shown in the BL(x) curve in FIG. 10, thereby reducing the risk of distortion.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 10, the BL curve is completely symmetrical left and right, and the BL at the Xmax position (the maximum displacement of the voice coil 32) is attenuated within 10% compared to the balanced position, thereby achieving a super-linear BL(x) design. Understandably, the horizontal axis shown in FIG. 10 represents displacement in mm, and the vertical axis represents BL in Wb / m.

[0084] Further, compared with the conventional DPS loudspeaker, the plurality of magnetic circuit units 20 and the plurality of vibration units 30 in the sound production module 200 of the present application are distributed in the horizontal direction, and do not occupy too much space in the vertical thickness of the shell 10. When all the vibration units 30 vibrate up and down, only two vibration spaces, i.e., the upper vibration space and the lower vibration space, are needed, and no additional thickness space of the sound production module 200 is occupied, which is beneficial to realize thin design. Therefore, under the same thickness, the sound production module 200 of the present application can thicken the design of the magnetic circuit unit 20, maximize the use of product and machine thickness space, improve the strength of the magnetic circuit unit 20, and reduce the risk of fragmentation and drop damage, thereby reducing material cost, improving product reliability and yield, and realizing mass production.

[0085] Further, the first working state of the sound production module 200 can be a receiver state (RCV state). In the receiver state, at least one vibration unit 30 radiates a first phase of sound waves outward, and the remaining at least one vibration unit 30 radiates a second phase of sound waves outward. The first phase and the second phase are opposite phases, which can form a dipole effect and have the technical effect of far-field noise reduction, thereby improving call privacy.

[0086] Further, in the first working state, two adjacent vibration assemblies radiate the first phase and the second phase of sound waves outward, respectively. Each vibration assembly includes one vibration unit 30 or a plurality of adjacent vibration units 30, and the number of vibration units 30 in the two adjacent vibration assemblies is the same or close.

[0087] Specifically, the plurality of vibration units 30 are divided into different vibration assemblies, and the number of vibration assemblies is at least two. Each vibration assembly includes one vibration unit 30 or a plurality of adjacent vibration units 30. The number of vibration units 30 in the two adjacent vibration assemblies is the same or close.

[0140] In an embodiment, the inner vibrating plate 3111 is a magnetic conductive plate member to form the magnetic conductive part 3113, i.e., the inner vibrating plate 3111 itself is a magnetic conductive plate member with magnetic conductive property to form the magnetic conductive part 3113 without the need of additional magnetic conductive part 3113, thus simple structure.

[0141] In another embodiment, a magnetic conductive member is embedded in the inner vibrating plate 3111 to form the magnetic conductive part 3113. The magnetic conductive member is embedded in the inner vibrating plate 3111, thus good structural consistency and compactness.

[0142] In yet another embodiment, a magnetic conductive member is arranged on at least one side of the inner vibrating plate 3111 along the first direction to form the magnetic conductive part 3113. For example, a magnetic conductive member is arranged on the upper side of the inner vibrating plate 3111.

For yet another example, magnetic conductive members are arranged on both the upper and lower sides of the inner vibrating plate 3111.

[0143] In still another embodiment, a magnetic conductive material is coated on at least one side surface of the inner vibrating plate 3111 along the first direction to form the magnetic conductive part 3113. For example, a magnetic conductive material is coated on the upper side surface of the inner vibrating plate 3111.

[0146] The number of the accommodating spaces 11 can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and the number of the accommodating spaces 11 is set to two in the embodiment, thus not too much and conducive to the miniaturization design of the sound production monomer 100.

[0147] Moreover, the number of the accommodating spaces 11 is set to two, and correspondingly, the number of the magnetic circuit units 20 and the number of the vibrating units 30 are both two, one magnetic circuit unit 20 and one vibrating unit 30 are arranged in each accommodating space 11, and the two accommodating spaces 11 can be arranged side by side along the short axis edge 324 of the voice coil 32. Understandably, the size of the short axis edge 324 is shorter, and the size of the long axis edge 323 is longer, and the short axis edge 324 occupies less space compared with the long axis edge 323. Arranging the two accommodating spaces 11 side by side along the short axis edge 324 of the voice coil 32 makes the size of the shell 10 not too long, and the structural design is reasonable.

The rear cavity 512 is filled with sound-absorbing material, which can adjust the acoustic performance of the sound production module 200. The second module shell 53 is provided with a filling opening, which realizes filling of the sound-absorbing material in the rear cavity 512. After filling is completed, the damping member covers the filling opening to avoid leakage of the sound-absorbing material.

[0149] In an embodiment, the first support 131 can adopt an integrated design or a split design. The first support 131 adopting the integrated design is convenient to manufacture, omits assembly gaps and assembly errors, and has a compact structure. The first support 131 adopting the split design is convenient to disassemble and assemble, and has high flexibility. When the first support 131 adopts the split design, each accommodating space 11 is correspondingly provided with a first support 131.

[0150] The second support 132 can adopt an integrated design or a split design. The second support 132 adopting the integrated design is convenient to manufacture, omits assembly gaps and assembly errors, and has a compact structure.
