Present invention also offers a kind of mobile terminal, including the described loudspeaker sound emitting mouth structure for mobile terminal.
The present invention compared with prior art, by being provided for leading note passage that the high pitch basin of loudspeaker speaks on fore shell also Loudspeaker are embedded in face-piece, by leading note passage, the sound of high pitch basin is guided, at the further thickness reducing product At the same time it can also be ensured that the tonequality of sound is unaffected, and making full use of the inner space of product, cost is also reduced.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Fig. 1 is the decomposition texture schematic diagram of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is the partial sectional view of the present invention.
Detailed description of the invention
With embodiment, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, the loudspeaker sound emitting mouth structure for mobile terminal of the present invention, including drain pan 1, it is located at the end Face-piece 3 on shell 1 and by glue panel 13 on face-piece 3, near the limit of face-piece 3 on the inner surface of face-piece 3 Being provided with the containing cavity 4 for installing loudspeaker at edge, be provided with sound mouth 5 on the outer surface of face-piece 3, sound mouth 5 is located at face-piece 3 Near edge, the area of described sound mouth 5 is less than the cross-sectional area of containing cavity 4, so that sound mouth 5 and containing cavity 4 phase Deviation is arranged;The leading note passage 6 of sound mouth 5 and containing cavity 4 it is communicated with, due to sound mouth between sound mouth 5 and containing cavity 4 5 deviate setting with containing cavity 4 so that leading note passage 6 is angularly disposed, and loudspeaker 2 are arranged in containing cavity 4, and these loudspeaker 2 have low The one side of sound basin is oppositely arranged with the inner surface of drain pan 1, and loudspeaker 2 have the one side of high pitch basin and the inner surface phase of face-piece 3 To setting, the one side that wherein side hole wall and the loudspeaker 2 of described leading note passage 6 have high pitch basin is oppositely arranged, thus by high pitch The sound that basin sends through this side opening wall guided to sound mouth 5;The inner surface of described drain pan 1 sets with corresponding section, loudspeaker 2 position Having the bass chamber 7 enclosed by protruding surrounding edge 8, surrounding edge 8 contacts with each other with the cavity wall of containing cavity 4, has high pitch at loudspeaker 2 The one side of basin is provided with Air Filter 9, and sound mouth 5 is provided with speaker net decoration 10, the cavity wall of described containing cavity 4 and surrounding edge 8 phase Mutually contact position is provided with one week sealing foam 11 so that loudspeaker 2 have between the one side of bass basin and bass chamber 7 formed relative close The space of envelope, so ensure that the acoustical quality of bass is not affected by space compression and cannot well be played.
For the ease of the installation of speaker net decoration 10, being provided with counterbore 12 on sound mouth 5, speaker net decoration 10 is located at In counterbore 12, the outer surface of speaker net decoration 10 and the outer surface of panel 13 so can be made to be substantially at same level On face, speaker net decoration 10 is pasted and fixed in counterbore 12 by gum.
Described speaker net decoration 10 uses nonmetallic materials to make, and preferably polyester resin (PET) material is made, outside it It is coated with metal level, so ensure that and antenna will not be interfered.
Fixing in order to realize speaker net decoration 10, it is formed around extension edge 14 at speaker net decoration 10, uses Face-piece 13 in mobile terminal is pressed on the portion of extension edge 14, thus speaker net decoration 10 is fixed on sound mouth On 5, speaker net decoration 10 can be fabricated to strip by the present invention, is the most only positioned at this portion at sound mouth 5 The upper network structure being to have through hole, remainder is the network structure with blind hole.
The present invention, by being located at by loudspeaker in face-piece 3, uses leading note passage 6 to enable high pitch to be directed to going out of face-piece 3 Air Filter 9, speaker net decoration 10, sealing foam 11 and loudspeaker 2 are stacked, so can enter by sound mouth the most successively The inner space of one step compressed products, it is achieved reduce the purpose of thickness, bass chamber 7 is set on drain pan 1 and sets in face-piece 3 Putting leading note passage 6 and ensure that high pitch is not affected by compact inner space with the tonequality of bass, guiding channel 6 uses oblique Arrange, it is possible to ensure to make sound well be derived when sound mouth 5 is located at face-piece 3 near marginal position.
The mobile terminal of the present invention, that includes the above-mentioned loudspeaker sound emitting mouth structure for mobile terminal, due to structure Identical, do not repeat them here, wherein panel 13 is the touch screen of mobile terminal.
