Description

[0002] At present, the conductive part of the conductive diaphragm commonly used in the field of loudspeakers is mainly composed of a polymer matrix and a conductive material. In order to reduce the resistance of the conductive part and improve its conductivity during the preparation of the diaphragm, the mass fraction of the conductive material in the polymer matrix is usually increased. However, the increase of the mass fraction of the conductive material often reduces the toughness of the diaphragm, and the form of the added conductive material is often single, and the conductive path formed is unstable. The increase of the mass fraction of the conductive material not only reduces the toughness of the diaphragm, but also cannot effectively improve the conductivity of the conductive part, thereby increasing the preparation cost while failing to meet the conductivity requirement of the conductive diaphragm.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a product to solve the above problems. TECHNICAL PROBLEM

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1-2, the present invention provides a diaphragm for a loudspeaker. The diaphragm 100 includes a main body 1 and a conductive part 2 disposed on the main body 1. The conductive part 2 includes a substrate and a conductive material dispersed in the substrate. The conductive material accounts for 35wt% to 95wt% of the mass percentage of the conductive part 2. The shape of the conductive material includes at least one of spherical, sheet-like, rod-like, and network-like shapes. The conductive material of the same shape includes at least one size. The particle size of the spherical conductive material is 0.01-20μm, the thickness of the sheet-like conductive material is 0.05-5μm and the length is 0.01-20μm, and the diameter of the rod-like conductive material is 5-100nm and the length is 0.1-50μm. By adding conductive materials of different shapes to the substrate and controlling the size of conductive materials of different shapes, the conductivity of the conductive part can be improved more efficiently. This reduces costs while improving the conductivity of the conductive part, thus meeting the conductivity requirements of the diaphragm.

[0021] The present invention controls the mass percentage of conductive material in conductive part 2 to be between 35% and 95%, such as 35%, 45%, 55%, 65%, 75%, 85%, 95%, etc.

[0022] Furthermore, the shape of the conductive material includes at least one of spherical, sheet-like, rod-like, and network-like forms, wherein the conductive material of the same shape includes at least one size. It should be noted that the rod-like conductive material can also refer to the wire-like or fibrous form, and there is no limitation on this.

[0023] Preferably, the conductive material includes a combination of various shapes such as spheres, sheets, rods, or networks.

[0024] Preferably, the particle size range of the spherical conductive material is 0.01-20 μm, such as 0.01 μm, 0.1 μm, 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, etc., allowing for more uniform dispersion of the spherical conductive material in the matrix; the thickness of the sheet-like conductive material is 0.05-5 μm and the length is 0.01-20 μm, such as 0.05 μm, 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.5 μm, etc., and the length is 0.01 μm, 0.1 μm, 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, etc.; the diameter of the thin rod-shaped conductive material is 5-100 nm.

The network-like conductive materials can provide more and more stable conductive pathways. By adding conductive materials of different shapes to the matrix and controlling the dimensions of conductive materials of different shapes, the conductivity of the conductive parts can be improved more efficiently, resulting in superior conductivity that meets the conductivity requirements of the diaphragm.

[0025] Preferably, an appropriate amount of nanoscale conductive material can be selectively added to the micron-scale conductive material and distributed in the gaps between the micron-scale conductive material. Through the tunneling effect, the conductive network is promoted and improved, thereby efficiently improving the conductivity of the conductive part 2.

[0026] Preferably, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the conductive part 2 can be disposed on one side of the main body part 1, such as by coating or pasting the conductive part 2 on one side of the main body part 1.

Preferably, the metallic material includes at least one of silver, gold, copper, aluminum, and nickel; preferred conductive materials include at least one combination of silver and gold, gold and copper, silver and copper, silver and nickel, silver and vanadium, silver and indium, and silver and palladium.

[0031] Comparative Example 1: The matrix contains 70% conductive material by mass, of which 40% is spherical conductive material and 30% is sheet-like conductive material by mass, with a resistivity of 1.5e-6Ωm.

[0032] The resistivity of Example 1 is 1.1e-6Ωm, and the resistivity of Comparative Example 1 is 1.5e-6Ωm. Compared with Comparative Example 1, the resistivity of Example 1 is reduced by 26.7%. With the same amount of conductive material added, the conductivity is significantly improved. This shows that the addition of conductive materials of different forms can effectively improve the conductivity of the conductive part 2.

[0033] The present invention also provides a loudspeaker, wherein the loudspeaker employs the diaphragm of the above embodiment.

[0034] This invention controls the mass percentage of conductive material in the conductive part 2 to be within the range of 35%-95%. The shape of the conductive material includes at least one of spherical, sheet-like, rod-like, and network-like forms. The conductive material of the same shape includes at least one size.

By adding conductive materials of different forms to the matrix and controlling the size of conductive materials of different shapes, the conductivity of the conductive part can be improved more efficiently. At the same time, the conductivity of the conductive part is improved while reducing costs, thus meeting the conductivity requirements of the diaphragm.

[0035] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
