The magnitude of the Lorentz force may be proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field lines (magnetic flux density), the amount of current, and the length of the wound coil, and the direction of the force may be perpendicular to the plane formed by the magnetic flux density and the current.

[0149] Accordingly, the diaphragm (191g) of the first speaker unit (191) can vibrate up and down. In response to the vibration of the diaphragm (191g), the air inside the speaker box (190) also resonates, and its pressure can change.

[0150] The second speaker unit (192) may be located in the second hole (1902) of the speaker box (190). The second speaker unit (192) may include a speaker frame (192F), a yoke (192a), a magnet (192b), a plate (192c), a bobbin (192d), a coil (192e), a diaphragm (192g), a damper (192h), and an edge (192i).

[0151] The speaker frame (192F) may have the shape of a square frame corresponding to the second hole (1902). The speaker frame (191F) may be positioned on the second recess (1902R) forming the second hole (1902). For example, four screws may secure the four corners of the speaker frame (192F) to the second recess (1902R). The fixing portion (192FF) of the speaker frame (192F) may protrude into the internal space (190S) of the speaker box (190) and be positioned in the internal space (190S).

[0152] The yoke (192a) may be located in the internal space (190S) of the speaker box (190) and may be fixed to the fixed part (192FF) of the speaker frame (192F). The yoke (192a) may have a cup shape.

[0153] The magnet (192b) can be placed inside the yoke (192a). The magnet (192b) can have a cylindrical shape. The plate (192c) can be positioned on the magnet (192b) and can have a disc shape.

[0154] The bobbin (192d) may be located in the air gap between the plate (192c) and the yoke (192a) and may have a hollow cylinder shape. The coil (192e) may be formed on the outer surface of the bobbin (192d) and may be called a voice coil (192e). The coil (192e) may be connected to a tinsel wire.

[0155] The diaphragm (192g) can be attached to the upper part of the bobbin (192d). The diaphragm (192g) may have a cone shape. Alternatively, the diaphragm (192g) may have a dome or disc shape. A cone-shaped diaphragm (192g) may be referred to as cone paper (192g). A dust cap (192gg) may cover the diaphragm (192g) and the bobbin (192d). One side of the elastic damper (192h) may be fixed to a fixed part (192FF) of the speaker frame (192F), and the other side of the damper (192h) may be fixed to the bobbin (192d). The damper (192h) can have a wave shape and can support the vibration of the diaphragm (192g).

[0156] The edge (192i) can connect the edge of the diaphragm (192g) to the speaker frame (192F). The edge (192i) can be elastic and can support the vibration of the diaphragm (192g). The edge (192i) can have a ring shape and can have an inverted U-shaped cross-section. The edge (192i) can be called a surround (192i).

[0157] When magnetic field lines are formed in the air gap between the magnet (192b) and the yoke (192a) and current flows through the coil (192e), a Lorentz force may be generated. The magnitude of the Lorentz force may be proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field lines (magnetic flux density), the amount of current, and the length of the wound coil, and the direction of the force may be perpendicular to the plane formed by the magnetic flux density and the current.

[0158] Accordingly, the diaphragm (192g) of the second speaker unit (192) can vibrate up and down. In response to the vibration of the diaphragm (192g), the internal air of the speaker box (190) also resonates, and its pressure can change.

[0159] The first speaker unit (191) and the second speaker unit (192) may be spaced apart from each other in one direction (DRa). The centerline (19L) of the speaker (19) may pass through the center of the speaker (19) and be orthogonal to one direction (DRa). The four corners of each of the square frame-shaped speaker frames (191F, 192F) may be located at different distances from the centerline (19L). With respect to the top surface (190U) of the speaker box (190), the four corners of each of the speaker frames (191F, 192F) may be located lower the further they are from the centerline (19L). Corresponding to the speaker frames (191F, 192F), the height of the recesses (1901R, 1902R) where the speaker frames (191F, 192F) are located may also vary depending on the location.

[0160] The speaker frame (191F) of the first speaker unit (191) may include a first corner (191Fa), a second corner (191Fb), a third corner (191Fc), and a fourth corner (191Fd). The first corner (191Fa) may be located at a first distance (D1a) from the centerline (19L) and at a first depth from the top surface (190U) of the speaker box (190).

The third corner (191Fc) may be located at a third distance (D1c) greater than the second distance (D1b) from the centerline (19L) and at a third depth greater than the second depth from the upper surface (190U) of the speaker box (190). The fourth corner (191Fd) may be located at a fourth distance (D1d) greater than the third distance (D1c) from the centerline (19L) and at a fourth depth greater than the third depth from the upper surface (190U) of the speaker box (190).

[0161] The speaker frame (192F) of the first speaker unit (192) may include a first corner (192Fa), a second corner (192Fb), a third corner (192Fc), and a fourth corner (192Fd). The first corner (192Fa) may be located at a first distance (D2a) from the centerline (19L) and at a first depth from the top surface (190U) of the speaker box (190). The first depth may be 0 or greater than 0. The second corner (192Fb) may be located at a second distance (D2b) greater than the first distance (D2a) from the centerline (19L) and at a second depth greater than the first depth from the top surface (190U) of the speaker box (190). The third corner (192Fc) may be located at a third distance (D2c) greater than the second distance (D2b) from the centerline (19L) and at a third depth greater than the second depth from the upper surface (190U) of the speaker box (190). The fourth corner (192Fd) may be located at a fourth distance (D2d) greater than the third distance (D2c) from the centerline (19L) and at a fourth depth greater than the third depth from the upper surface (190U) of the speaker box (190).

[0162] Accordingly, the first speaker unit (191) and the second speaker unit (192) can be positioned at an angle with respect to the speaker box (190). As a result, the sound quality of the speaker (19) can be improved.

[0163]

[0168] Accordingly, the passive radiator (190P) can vibrate in response to changes in the internal air pressure of the speaker box (190) due to the operation of the speaker units (191, 192) to produce (low-frequency) sound. The first passive radiator (193) may be directed toward the first opening (12Ea) of the frame (12), and the sound from the first passive radiator (193) may pass through the first opening (12Ea).

[0220] The substrate (39P) may have the shape of a disc having holes throughout. The diameter of the substrate (39P) may correspond to the diameter of the bottom cover (39C). The substrate (39P) may be a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). A terminal (39T) may be mounted on the upper surface of the substrate (39P). A pair of terminals (39T) may be adjacent to each other but spaced apart from each other. A connector (39U, see FIG. 34) may be mounted on the lower surface of the substrate (39P). The pins (39UP, pins) of the connector (39U) may penetrate the substrate (39P). A hole (39PH) may be formed in the substrate (39P). A hole (39PH) may be formed in the center of the substrate (3P).

[0221] And, the substrate (39P) may be positioned on the bottom cover (39C). The connecting portions (39CA) of the bottom cover (39C) may support the substrate (39P).

A hole (39NH) may be formed in the central part of the insulating layer (39N).

[0223] And, the insulating layer (39N) may be positioned on the substrate (39P). The coupling portions (39CA) of the bottom cover (39C) may be inserted into the holes (39NA) of the insulating layer (39N). The guide pins (39CB) of the bottom cover (39C) may be inserted into the holes (39NA) of the insulating layer (39N). The terminals (39T) of the substrate (39P) may be inserted into the holes (39NH, 39NT) of the insulating layer (39N).

[0224] The joint (36) can penetrate the hole (39CH) of the bottom cover (39C), the hole (39PH) of the substrate (39P), and the hole (39NH) of the insulating layer (39N). The top (363T) of the joint (36) can protrude from the head (363) of the joint (36). The width of the top (363T) may be smaller than the width of the head (363). The cross-section of the top (363T) may have a shape in which part of a circle is cut off, and the side of the top (363T) may include curved and flat surfaces. Screw threads may be formed on the side of the top (363T).

[0225]

[0226] Referring to FIGS. 32 and 33, the support plate (31) may have the shape of a disc having holes throughout. The diameter of the support plate (31) may be equal to or greater than the diameter of the insulating layer (39N). The support plate (31) may be made of a metal material. A hole (31H) may be formed in the support plate (31). A hole (31H) may be formed in the center of the support plate (31). A recess (31R) may be recessed from the center of the upper surface of the support plate (31), and a hole (31H) may be formed in the recess (31R).

[0227] Additionally, the support plate (31) may be positioned on the insulating layer (39N). The support plate (31) may include an electrically conductive material such as metal, and the insulating layer (39N) may electrically insulate the substrate (39P) and the support plate (31). The coupling portions (39CA) of the bottom cover (39C) may be inserted into the holes (31A) of the support plate (31). The guide pins (39CB) of the bottom cover (39C) may be inserted into the holes (31B) of the support plate (31). The terminals (39T) of the substrate (39P) may be inserted into the holes (31T) of the support plate (31). The pins (39UP) of the connector (39U) may be inserted into the holes (31P) of the support plate (31). The hole (31H) of the support plate (31) can be positioned to correspond to the hole (39NH) of the insulating layer (39N).

[0228] Fastening member(s) (F6), such as a screw, can be fastened to the coupling portion (39CA) of the bottom cover (39C) inserted into the support plate (31). The head of the fastening member (F6) (i.e., the head of the screw) can be positioned on the upper surface of the support plate (31). Accordingly, the support plate (31), the insulating layer (39N), and the substrate (39P) can be coupled to the bottom cover (39C).

[0229] The head (363) of the joint (36) can support the recess (31R) of the support plate (31). The top (363T) of the joint (36) can penetrate the hole (31H) of the recess (31R). The hole (31H) may have a shape corresponding to the cross-section of the top (363T), thereby limiting the rotation of the support plate (31) around the top (363T). A fixing member (F5), such as a nut, can be fastened to the top (363T), and the recess (31R) can be fixed between the fixing member (F5) and the head (363). A washer (W5) can be positioned between the fixing member (F5) and the recess (31R). Accordingly, the support plate (31) can be coupled to the joint (36).

[0230] Meanwhile, a fixing hole (31F) may be formed in the support plate (31) adjacent to the edge of the support plate (31). A plurality of fixing holes (31F) may be arranged along the edge of the support plate (31).

[0231]

[0232] Referring to FIGS. 34 and 35, the joint (36) may contact the lower surface of the support plate (31) and may extend in a direction intersecting the support plate (31). The joint (36) may be referred to as an ankle (36). The joint (36) may include a body (361), a neck (362), and a head (363).

[0233] The body (361) may form the lower part of the joint (36). The body (361) may have a hollow cylinder shape, and the central axis of the body (361) may extend in a direction (i.e., horizontal direction) that intersects the longitudinal direction (i.e., vertical direction) of the joint (36). The hole (361H) of the body (361) may be a circular hole.

[0234] The neck (362) may protrude from the body (361) toward the support plate (31). A projection (364) may protrude from the side of the neck (362). A first projection (364R) may protrude from the other side of the neck (362). A second projection (364L) may protrude from one side of the neck (362).

[0235] The head (363) can protrude from the neck (362) toward the support plate (31) and support the lower surface of the support plate (31). The neck (362) connecting the body (361) and the head (363) can form the thinnest part of the joint (36).

[0236] The mount (35) may include a fixing part (350), a first part (351), and a second part (352). The fixing part (350) may be flat. The first part (351) may be bent upward from one side of the fixing part (350). The second part (352) may be bent upward from the other side of the fixing part (350). Each of the first and second parts (351, 352) may have a shape that is bent at least once. A joint (36) may be placed between the first part (351) and the second part (352) of the mount (35). A washer (not labeled) may be placed between the body (361) of the joint (36) and the first part (351). A washer (not labeled) may be placed between the body (361) of the joint (36) and the second part (352).

[0237] The hinge shaft (37) may extend in a direction intersecting the joint (36). The central axis of the hinge shaft (37) may extend in a direction intersecting the pole (30, see FIG. 33) (i.e., horizontal direction). The cross-section of the hinge shaft (37) may have a shape in which a portion of a circle is cut off, and the side of the hinge shaft (37) may include curved and flat surfaces. Screw threads may be formed on the side of the hinge shaft (37). The hinge shaft (37) may pass through the hole (351H) of the first part (351), the hole (361H) of the body (361) of the joint (36), and the hole (352H) of the second part (352). The holes (351H, 352H) may have a shape corresponding to the cross-section of the hinge shaft (37), but the hole (361H) may be a circular hole. Thus, the rotation of the mount (35) around the hinge shaft (37) can be restricted, but the joint (36) can rotate around the axis (A, axis) of the hinge shaft (37).

[0238] A fixing member (38), such as a nut, can be fastened to the end of the hinge shaft (37). The head (37H) of the hinge shaft (37) can face the first part (351) of the mount (35), and the fixing member (38) can face the second part (352) of the mount (35). Accordingly, the joint (36) can be rotatably coupled to the mount (35) and the hinge shaft (37).

[0239] At least one disc spring (37D) may be placed between the first part (351) of the mount (35) and the head (37H) of the hinge shaft (37), and the body of the hinge shaft (37) may pass through the disc spring (37D). The disc spring (37D) may be convex in the direction toward the head (37H) or in the opposite direction. The disc spring (37D) may generate an elastic force in the axial direction of the hinge shaft (37). A washer (37R) may be placed between the first part (351) and the head (37H) of the hinge shaft (37). A washer (37R) may be placed between the second part (352) and the fixing member (38).

[0240] Accordingly, the joint (36) can be sandwiched between the parts (351, 352) of the mount (35). Due to the frictional force between the joint (36) and the parts (351, 352), the joint (36) can maintain a certain angle with respect to the hinge shaft (37). If a force greater than a certain magnitude than the frictional force is applied to the joint (36), the joint (36) can rotate. By adjusting the connection length between the hinge shaft (37) and the fixing member (38), the frictional force between the joint (36) and the parts (351, 352) can be controlled.

[0241] A groove (35G) may be formed in the first part (351) or the second part (352) of the mount (35). A first groove (351G) may be formed in the first part (351), and a first projection (364R) may be located in the first groove (351G). The first groove (351G) may extend along the rotational trajectory of the first projection (364R). A second groove (352G) may be formed in the second part (352), and a second projection (364L) may be located in the second groove (352G). The second groove (352G) may extend along the rotational trajectory of the second projection (364L).

[0242] In response to the rotation of the joint (36) relative to the hinge shaft (37), if the projection (364) engages with one end or the other end of the groove (35G), the rotation of the joint (36) may be restricted. The angle between the one end and the other end of the groove (35G) relative to the hinge shaft (37) may be greater than 90 degrees. The one end of the groove (35G) may be located at a first angle (theta a) counterclockwise (CCW, see FIG. 34) from the longitudinal axis of the joint (36). For example, the first angle (theta a) may be 15 degrees. The other end of the groove (35G) may be located at a second angle (theta b) clockwise (CW, see FIG. 34) from the longitudinal axis of the joint (36). For example, the second angle (theta b) may be 90 degrees. In this case, the joint (36) and the support plate (31) fixed thereto can rotate within a range of 105 degrees around the hinge shaft (37).

[0243]

[0244] Referring to FIGS. 36 and 37, the top of the pole (30) may be open. The pole (30) may be extended vertically and may be open vertically. The body (300) of the pole (30) may have the shape of a hollow cylinder or pipe that is vertically long. Ribs (301) may protrude from the inner surface of the body (300) and may be spaced apart from each other. The ribs (301) may extend along the length of the body (300). The tops of the ribs (301) may be adjacent to the top of the body (300).

[0245] The fixed portion (350) of the mount (35) may be positioned on the ribs (301). Fastening members (F4), such as screws, may pass through the fixed portion (350) and be fastened to the ribs (301), thereby allowing the fastening members (F4) to secure the mount (35) to the pole (30).

[0246] The pole cap (30C) may include a cap body (30Ca) and legs (30Cb). The cap body (30Ca) may have an overall upwardly convex dome shape. The cap body (30Ca) may enclose the upper part of the mount (35), the lower part of the joint (36), and the structure connecting the mount (35) and the joint (36) (i.e., the hinge shaft (37) and the fixing member (38) of FIG. 34 and 35). The body (361) of the joint (36) may be located inside the cap body (30Ca), and the neck (362) may pass through the hole (30CH) of the cap body (30Ca). The lower end of the cap body (30Ca) may be located on the upper end of the pole (30). The legs (30Cb) can protrude from the bottom of the cap body (30Ca) and can be hooked into a groove (300G) formed on the inner surface of the pole body (300).

[0247] The pole cap (30C) attached to the pole (30) may be adjacent to the groove (39CG) of the bottom cover (39C). The bottom cover (39C) is fixed to the support plate (31) and can rotate around the hinge shaft (37, see FIG. 35) together with the support plate (31). That is, the bottom cover (39C) can rotate relative to the pole cap (30C) that surrounds the hinge shaft (37), and the groove (39CG) may be formed to avoid interference between the rotating bottom cover (39C) and the pole cap (30C). The rotation of the bottom cover (39C) may be limited by one side of the groove (39CG) touching the pole cap (30C). The pad (39CP) can be formed or attached to the groove (39CG) and can mitigate the impact when the groove (39CG) strikes the pole cap (30C).

[0248] The second cable (C2) can be placed inside the pole (30). The second cable (C2) can pass through the hole (300H) formed on the upper part of the pole (30), the hole (30CH) of the pole cap (30C), and the hole (39CH) of the bottom cover (39C). Here, the hole (300H) can be positioned corresponding to the hole (30CH).

Accordingly, the support plate (31) may be coupled to the frame (12).

[0252] Meanwhile, the frame (12) may include a non-conductive material such as plastic, and the bar (150) and support plate (31) may include an electrically conductive material such as metal. The bar (150) may be electrically connected to the support plate (31).
