[0030] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this application, specific embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 8, this application provides a microphone, including a housing 1 with an inner cavity 10. A sound hole 11 is provided on the housing 1 to allow sound to flow into the inner cavity 10. A diaphragm 4 is provided in the inner cavity 10, which divides the inner cavity into a front cavity 12 near the sound hole 11 and a rear cavity 13 away from the sound hole 11. A breathable barrier 131 is provided in the rear cavity 13. The breathable barrier 131 has a Gurley-air permeability (s / 100cc) of less than 10s, a thickness of less than 80μm, and a maximum pore size of less than 50μm. The breathable barrier 131 and the inner wall of the rear cavity 13 enclose a partition cavity 20, or the breathable barrier 131 forms a partition cavity 20. A porous material 2 is filled in the partition cavity 20.
[0032] Therefore, in this embodiment of the microphone, by providing a breathable barrier 131 within the rear cavity 13 of the microphone, and by either enclosing the rear cavity 13 with the inner wall of the rear cavity 13 or forming a cavity within the breathable barrier 131 itself, a partition cavity 20 is created within the partition cavity. A porous material component 2 is then placed within the partition cavity. This achieves the acoustic effect of a large cavity in a miniaturized microphone assembly, effectively improving the microphone's sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. Simultaneously, the high permeability of the breathable barrier 131 allows for ample gas exchange, further enhancing the acoustic effect. The thin and small size of the breathable barrier 131 facilitates the filling of more material. Furthermore, the breathable barrier 131 effectively prevents porous material from falling onto the diaphragm 4, effectively reducing the impact of dust on the diaphragm 4.
[0033] The porous material component 2 described above can be one or more of porous particles, porous powders, porous sheets, and porous blocks. When the porous material component 2 adopts a sheet structure or a block structure, the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of the microphone are higher than when porous particles or porous powders are used.
[0034] Further preferably, the air permeable barrier 131 has a Gurley air permeability of less than 4 s, a thickness of less than 50 pm, and a maximum pore size of less than 20 pm. Still further preferably, the air permeable barrier 131 has a Gurley air permeability of less than 1 s, a thickness of less than 30 pm, and a maximum pore size of less than 10 pm. With these parameters, the air permeable barrier 131 is even thinner and can be filled with more material. The material of the air permeable barrier 131 is preferably polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polyimide (PI).
[0035] The porous material piece 2 contains a porous material, which is a combination of one or more of zeolite, activated carbon, MOF, COF, aerogel, and hydrogel. The porous material piece 2 preferably contains zeolite, which has a better signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity than activated carbon. The zeolite material has good absorption and release capacity for air, can virtually expand the volume of the back cavity 13, and better improve the performance of the microphone. In some embodiments, the porous material piece 2 is in the form of a powder, and the size of the powder is 50-300 nm. In some embodiments, the porous material piece 2 is in the form of a particle, and the size of the particle is 10-300 pm. In some embodiments, the porous material piece 2 is in the form of a sheet, and the density is 0.1-0.5 g / m 3 , and the thickness is 0.1-1 mm. In some embodiments, the porous material piece 2 is in the form of a block, and the density is 0.1-0.5 g / m 3 , and the thickness is 1-3 mm.
[0036] In some embodiments, the air permeable barrier 131 is fixed on the inner wall of the back cavity 13. The air permeable barrier 131 can be a combination of one or more of hard PET mesh and air-permeable film, and the air permeable barrier 131 is more preferably an air-permeable film, which has better powder leakage prevention performance and can ensure the long-term and stable operation of the MEMS. In some embodiments, the air permeable barrier 131 of the hard PET mesh is clamped in the groove or buckle inside the corresponding shell of the back cavity 13.
[0037] In some embodiments, the air permeable barrier 131 is an air-permeable film and is sleeved on a support ring (such as a plastic ring or a metal ring), and the support ring with the air permeable barrier 131 sleeved thereon is clamped in the clamping groove of the inner wall of the back cavity 13; or, the air permeable barrier 131 is fixed on the inner wall of the back cavity 13 by an adhesive or double-sided adhesive.
[0038] In some embodiments, the air permeable barrier 131 is an air-permeable film and is sleeved on a porous sheet, and the porous sheet with the air permeable barrier 131 sleeved thereon is clamped in the clamping groove of the inner wall of the back cavity 13; or, a porous sheet is clamped in the clamping groove of the inner wall of the back cavity 13, the porous sheet and the inner wall of the back cavity 13 enclose the above-mentioned separation cavity 20, and the air permeable barrier 131 is heated and softened and adhered to the surface of the separation cavity 20 opposite to the porous sheet.
[0039] In this embodiment, the porous sheet is made of porous material and has a certain air permeability. The density of the porous sheet is preferably 0.1-0.5 g / m 3 2, and the thickness is preferably 0.2-3 mm. By providing the porous sheet, the air permeable barrier 131 can be supported, and the possibility of the porous material falling on the diaphragm 4 can be further reduced, and the influence of the falling powder on the diaphragm 4 can be more effectively reduced. In particular, for a MEMS microphone, the diaphragm 4 is small in volume, and the influence of the falling powder is great. The cooperation of the air permeable barrier 131 and the porous sheet in this embodiment can well avoid the influence.
[0040] In some embodiments, the air permeable barrier 131 is an air permeable film, which wraps the porous material piece 2 and is assembled in the back cavity 13. For example, the air permeable film wrapped around the porous material piece 2 can be placed in the back cavity 13, clamped on the clamping groove of the inner wall of the back cavity 13, or bonded to the inner wall of the back cavity 13.
[0041] In order to better illustrate the effect of the microphone of the present application, the following takes the structure of a MEMS microphone as an example to test the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of several specific embodiments provided with the above-mentioned air permeable barrier 131 and porous material piece 2 in the back cavity 13 and a blank comparative example without the air permeable barrier 131 and the porous material piece 2, for further comparison and illustration, as follows:

[0057] Table 1

In addition, the signal-to-noise ratio when the air-permeable barrier 131 is an air-permeable film is higher than when it is a mesh cloth.
[0059] In some embodiments, the microphone is a condenser microphone, which generally includes a diaphragm 4, a back plate 5, a capacitor, an output terminal, and a packaging shell 1. The diaphragm 4 is usually made of very thin metal or plastic material and is responsible for sensing sound waves and converting them into mechanical vibrations. The back plate 5 is located opposite the diaphragm 4 and is usually made of metal and forms one of the two electrodes of the capacitor with the diaphragm 4; sound waves cause the diaphragm 4 to vibrate, thereby changing the distance between the diaphragm 4 and the back plate 5, and this change in distance is the change in capacitance of the capacitor. The space between the diaphragm 4 and the back plate 5 constitutes a capacitor. When sound waves act on the diaphragm 4, the distance between the diaphragm 4 and the back plate 5 changes, causing the capacitance of the capacitor to change. The output terminal is where the electrical signal output of the microphone is connected to an amplifier or other audio equipment. The packaging shell 1 is the outermost layer of the microphone and is used to protect the internal structure from damage while allowing sound to pass through.
[0060] In this embodiment, according to the different structures of the packaging shell 1 and the different positions of the sound hole 11, there can be several structural forms as follows.
[0061] In one embodiment, the packaging shell 1 includes a substrate 14 and a shell 15 arranged on the substrate 14, and the substrate 14 and the shell 15 enclose to form an inner cavity 10.

The housing 15 in Figs. 1-4 and the second substrate 17 in Figs. 5 and 6 are both cavity structures with one end open, so as to facilitate the attachment of the housing 15 in Figs. 1-4 and the substrate 14 together and the attachment of the second substrate 17 in Figs. 5 and 6 and the first substrate 16 together, to form the above-mentioned inner cavity 10. In some embodiments, a sound leakage hole is arranged in the back cavity 13 and communicates with the outside.
