[ detailed description ] embodiments
The invention is further described with reference to the following figures and embodiments.
It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as upper, lower, left, right, front, back, inner, outer, top, bottom … …) in the embodiment of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship between the components in a specific posture (as shown in the figure), and if the specific posture is changed, the directional indicator is changed accordingly.
It will also be understood that when an element is referred to as being "secured to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present.
The first embodiment is as follows:
referring to fig. 1 to 4, a MEMS speaker 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 10, a vibration element 20, a diaphragm 30 and a connecting rod 40, the substrate 10 includes a base 11 and a support 12, the support 12 extends from one side of the base 11 toward a direction away from the base 11, the base 11 is provided with a first cavity 111 penetrating along a thickness direction thereof, the thickness direction is the extending direction of the support 12, the support 12 is annular and surrounds a second cavity 121 communicating with the first cavity 111, an inner diameter of the first cavity 111 along a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the base 11 is smaller than that of the second cavity 121, that is, an outline of the first cavity 111 is smaller than that of the second cavity 121, the vibration element is fixed to the base 11 and at least covers the first cavity 111, one end of the connecting rod 40 is connected to the vibration element 20, and the other end of the connecting rod extends into the second cavity 121 through the first cavity 111 and is fixedly connected to the diaphragm 30, the diaphragm 30 is suspended in the second cavity 121 and is spaced from the inner wall 122 of the support base 12 (i.e. the walls of the second cavity 121).
By arranging the first cavity 111 on the base 11, arranging the second cavity 121 on the support seat 12, connecting the diaphragm 30 with the vibration component 20 through the connecting rod 40, thereby suspending the diaphragm 30 in the second cavity 121, the vibration component 20 is required to be fixed to the base 11, so that the vibration component 20 is hindered by the base 11 when vibrating, only the portion covering the first cavity 111 can vibrate, and the vibration amplitude gradually decreases from the center to the edge of the first cavity 111, resulting in smaller overall amplitude of the vibration component 20, but when vibrating, the vibration component 20 drives the diaphragm 30 to move together through the connecting rod 40, and pushes air through the diaphragm 30 to generate sound, because the diaphragm 30 is suspended in the second cavity 121, and there is a gap between the edge and the inner wall 122 of the support seat 12, the diaphragm 30 performs piston motion along the thickness direction of the base 11, and the motion is not affected by the support seat 12, therefore, the overall amplitude of the support base 12 is larger, and the displacement amounts of the respective portions are the same, so that a larger volume of air can be displaced per unit time, thereby improving the sound output of the MEMS speaker 100.
In this embodiment, the outline of the first cavity 111 is smaller than the outline of the second cavity 121, and the vibrating component 20 and the diaphragm 30 are respectively mounted in the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 121, so that the size of the diaphragm 30 is not limited by the first cavity 111, but only by the second cavity 121, and thus the size of the diaphragm 30 can be set larger than that of the first cavity 111, compared to a scheme in which the vibrating component 20 and the diaphragm 30 are mounted in the same cavity, in a case in which the vibrating component 20 is the same size, the MEMS speaker 100 of this embodiment can be provided with the diaphragm 30 having a larger size, thereby improving the sound output of the MEMS speaker 100.

Preferably, the connecting rod 40 is the same size as the two ends to which the vibration assembly 20 and the diaphragm 30 are connected. It can be understood that the two ends of the connecting rod 40 may have different sizes, for example, the size of the end (i.e., the top end) of the connecting rod 40 connected to the vibration assembly 20 may be smaller than the size of the end (i.e., the bottom end) of the connecting rod 40 connected to the diaphragm 30, and the connecting rod 40 is configured to have a special shape with a small top end and a large bottom end, so that the connecting strength between the connecting rod 40 and the diaphragm 30 can be ensured, and the problem that the vibration assembly 20 is affected due to the overlarge connecting rod 40 can be avoided.
