Describe below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
Embodiment 1
Fig. 2 is the generalized section of acoustics module in one embodiment of the invention.In Fig. 2, the acoustics module comprises that first housing 201, loud speaker 203 and second housing, 202, the first housings 201 are arranged on the front portion of loud speaker 203, and sound chamber 208 before being formed with between first housing 201 and loud speaker 203.Concrete, loud speaker 203 front ends can directly be bonded on the casing 201 of sender 204 or for example the packing ring 206(by double-sided belt glue as for the bubble of compression cotton or other flexible material) be bonded on the casing 201 of sender 204, the front end of loud speaker 203 can omit with casing 201 and packing ring 206() form before sound chamber 208.In addition, the sender 204 in sound chamber 208 before first housing 201 is provided with.Second housing 202 is arranged on the rear portion of described loud speaker 203 and closely is connected with first housing 201, forms sound chamber, back 209 at the rear portion of loud speaker 203.Just, back sound chamber 209 is the space that loud speaker rear end and first housing 201 and second housing 202 form.For the electronic equipment with acoustics module, this first housing 201 can be the casing (as front housing) of this electronic equipment or the part of casing.Second housing can be done the housing (being also referred to as sound chamber, back lid) of sound chamber, back lid for special use, perhaps also can be the part of the casing of electronic equipment.
In the present embodiment, generate connecting structure for electrical equipment between loud speaker and the PCB in order to adopt LDS, but second housing 202 is formed by the plastics of laser activation.Herein, PA6/6T(aromatization polyamide), polyester thermoplastics (PBT, PET) and polymer blend thereof, photocrosslinking PBT(Polybutylene terephthalate but the plastics of laser activation for example include but not limited to:, poly-butyl terephthalic acids fat), LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer, liquid crystal high polymers) and/or PC/ABS(polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) etc. thermoplastics or other material.But owing on market, just can buy the material of various laser activations at present as required, therefore do not enumerate one by one and describe in detail at this.But the material with laser activation is raw material, but adopts common injection molding apparatus, mould or other technology just can inject second housing 202 of the laser activation of reservation shape.
In the present embodiment, second housing 202 is provided with through hole 211.The number of through hole 211 can be one or more, and only example has gone out two through holes 211 in Fig. 2.Described through hole can be designed as different shape, for example be circular port, square hole etc., but the present invention is not limited to this, as long as can realize the function of through hole.In addition, for the ease of focussed laser beam through hole is shone (activation), in the present embodiment preferably with via design be: (this moment, the longitudinal section of described through hole for example can be " || " shape more than or equal to the aperture of the part away from from the end of through hole from the aperture of the nearer part in the end of through hole, "〉<" different shape such as shape or ") (" shape), perhaps, the aperture of described through hole increases gradually or reduces (this moment, the longitudinal section of through hole for example can be " eight " word just or the different shape such as " eight " word that falls) from the end to end of this through hole, but the present invention is not limited to these shapes.
Further, be formed with via laser focusing irradiation on the two sides of second housing 202 and run through connection line pattern through hole 211, activation.If have a plurality of through holes, can form at least one connection line pattern at each through hole.Particularly, for example can adopt computer control laser to shine at second housing, 202 upslides of three-dimensional, form the connection line pattern, and do not need to make mould or the mask of conductive pattern, can be directly according to computer-aided design (CAD) data moulding conductive pattern.The shape of this connecting line pattern can design flexible or modification, even therefore behind completed line pattern or metallic conduction figure, also can be at an easy rate to the circuit processing of making amendment, and change difficulty the mould when embedding the metal forming technology unlike existing employing.In the present embodiment, the laser beam of focusing not only can activate according to predetermined figure at surface of shell, equally can be easily the inwall of through hole 211 be activated so that in described through hole plated metal, what therefore form is three-dimensional line pattern.Because characteristics such as the high-energy-density of laser and high directivities, what the connection line pattern that forms by laser can be very is fine, for example can reach 0.15mm, by controlling the focusing of laser more subtly, and connection line pattern even can reach 0.1mm or thinner.
Further, deposit metal level 212 on the connection line pattern, form the metallic circuit structure that is used for connecting described loud speaker and printed circuit board (PCB) that runs through described through hole thus.Be conducive to the deposition of metal through the surface texture of laser activation, thereby can form adhering to reliably of metal level.In the embodiment of the invention, described metal level 212 can directly form in the line pattern of laser activation by methods such as plating.The material of described metal level can be single-layer metal, also can be the combination of more multi-layered different metal or alloy, and wherein said metal includes but not limited to Cu, Ni, Au, Sn, Sn/Pb, Ag and/or Ag/Pd etc.Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b are respectively the one side towards loud speaker (can be described as the front) and the schematic diagram of the one side of loud speaker (can be described as the back side) dorsad of second housing 202 of one embodiment of the invention.As Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b as seen, the front and back at second housing is formed with the metallic circuit that runs through through hole 211.In the front of second housing, loud speaker 203 can be connected with the connection gasket of front metal circuit 212 by contact 207.At the back side of second housing, pcb board can be connected with the connection gasket of back metal circuit 212 by conductive contact (as elastic sheet metal, metal protuberance or metal needle etc.).
In embodiments of the present invention, can control the width of the metallic circuit that forms at the connection line pattern by the width of connection line in the control connection line pattern.For example, when the electronic equipment with acoustics module does not possess antenna, to the width of metallic circuit in the acoustics module without limits, can arbitrarily design the width of connection line in the connection line pattern thus.And when in electronic equipment, needing antenna is set, can form thinner connection line, thereby form thinner metallic circuit at connection line, so that this metallic circuit can be ignored for the influence of the radio-frequency performance of antenna in the electronic equipment under the acoustics module.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the width of metallic circuit can design as required.For example, when needs are considered the influencing of antenna, the width of connection line or metallic circuit in the connection line pattern can be limited in 0.1~5mm, for example the width of metallic circuit is set to any one value (as 0.2mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm or 2.0mm etc.) or any one scope (as 0.5~2.0mm, 0.2~3.0mm or 1~4.0mm etc.) in 0.1~5mm neatly, but as above numeral is example only, and the present invention is not limited to this.
As mentioned above, second housing, 202 surfaces are gone up and are formed with the metallic circuit 212 that runs through through hole 211 by LDS, and this metallic circuit 212 is as the conduction connecting structure that is used for connecting loud speaker and PCB.This moment, through hole 211 was not what seal.Owing to for the acoustics module, need to form the back sound chamber of sealing.For this reason, in the embodiment of the invention, the outside that further is filled with in the described through hole for the filler that seals described through hole or described through hole is formed with the cover layer that covers described through hole, thereby can make the back sound chamber of sound chamber, back for sealing.Described filler or cover layer can be viscosity or inviscid material.
For example, as shown in Figure 2, the one side towards loud speaker 203 of second housing 202 is provided with cover layer 213, and this cover layer covers through hole 211 and exposes the connection gasket part that is connected with loud speaker of metal connection line.Fig. 3 is the decomposing schematic representation of the acoustics module in another embodiment of the present invention.In Fig. 3, also can be clear that for the cover layer 213 that covers described through hole.Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram that second housing of loud speaker has been installed.Among Fig. 5, can see the through hole 211 on second back side of shell, this through hole 211 is positive sealed from second housing.Described cover layer 213 for example can be label, sealing strip or the gasket seal etc. that have viscose glue, but the present invention is not limited to this.Alternatively, described cover layer also can be arranged on the one side towards pcb board (being the back side) of second housing 202, perhaps on the two sides of second housing 202 cover layer is set all.
Alternatively, also can be filled with the filler for the described through hole of sealing in through hole, substitute cover layer, this moment, filler for example can be sealing plug, fluid sealant or other viscosity or non-sticky encapsulant, but the present invention is not limited to this.Fig. 6 for the installation of another embodiment of invention the schematic diagram of second housing of loud speaker.As shown in Figure 6, the through hole on second housing 202 adopts filler 214 to fill.
Aforesaid acoustics module, owing to adopted the LDS technology to form the connecting structure for electrical equipment that connects loud speaker and PCB, need not in the injection moulding process of second housing, to embed metal, can design arbitrarily, adjust and/or revise connection line according to actual condition, thereby make that the processing of second housing is simpler, and the assembling process of acoustic module is more prone to, and the assembly cost of reliable in structure, acoustics module is also lower.In addition, the width of the sheet metal that the width that adopts the metal electrical cable that the LDS technology forms embeds in the conventional acoustic module, almost not influence of cabling design to the antenna of electronic equipment, therefore further improve the flexibility ratio of the antenna design of electronic equipment, thereby can guarantee the radio-frequency performance of antenna.And the tie point of the connection line of the outside, back sound chamber of acoustics module can arbitrarily be adjusted according to the layout needs of mainboard, and to the electron circuit layout of mainboard with highly can not exert an influence.

Concrete, loud speaker 203 front ends directly can be bonded on first housing 201 of sender 204 or for example the packing ring 206(by double-sided belt glue as bubble cotton or other flexible material for compression) be bonded on first housing 201 of sender 204.At this moment, the front end of loud speaker 203 can form preceding sound chamber 208 with casing 201 and packing ring 206.
Step S705 is arranged on the rear portion of described loud speaker with described second housing, makes loud speaker and metal connection line on second housing form conduction and is connected.
For example, loud speaker 203 can be connected with the connection gasket of the second housing front metal circuit 212 by contact 207.
Step S706 closely is connected second housing with first housing, to form the back sound chamber of sealing at the rear portion of described loud speaker.
Particularly, namely shown in Figure 3 as Fig. 2, loud speaker 203 can limit with packing ring 206, first housing and second housing and form sound chamber, back.Though have through hole on second housing, because the through hole after the metallization is sealed, therefore can be so that sound chamber, back be the back sound chamber of sealing.
In the present embodiment owing to adopted the LDS technology to form to connect the connecting structure for electrical equipment of loud speaker and PCB, need not in the injection moulding process of second housing, to embed metal, can design arbitrarily, adjust and/or revise connection line according to actual condition, thereby make that the processing of second housing is simpler, and the assembling process of acoustic module is more prone to, and the assembly cost of reliable in structure, acoustics module is also lower.In addition, the width of the sheet metal that the width that adopts the metal electrical cable that the LDS technology forms embeds in the conventional acoustic module, almost not influence of cabling design to the antenna of electronic equipment, therefore further improve the flexibility ratio of the antenna design of electronic equipment, thereby can guarantee the radio-frequency performance of antenna.And the tie point of the connection line of the outside, back sound chamber of acoustics module can arbitrarily be adjusted according to the layout needs of mainboard, and to the electron circuit layout of mainboard with highly can not exert an influence.
