Embodiment
The present invention mainly is a sound source or generator, and for example flat resonance bending wave plate resembles in WO97/09842 number illustrated character, allow to be coupled to the acoustic fluid that is comprised to the shallow volume of the sound energy in a good coupling, normal is air, phase place uncorrelated, the stray radiation characteristic.With because path length difference, phase cancellation and the coupling aspect of the irregular and problematic relevant for example piston type device of power is greatly different subsequently, diffuse source allows the acoustic power good integration at its radiating surface, and power can be via being conducted via pipeline to the fluid coupling of remote spots.At this kind pipeline normally is serious mode resonance, owing to the uncorrelated character of the diffusion of the acoustic energy that enters pipeline alleviates.
But the duct end direct radiation if it becomes the form in a narrow slot or similar aperture, has wide directionality, and non-FREQUENCY CONTROL or frequency selectivity.Revise the directionality characteristic if desired, all size shape that then can this is known in the industry and the acoustic horn of combination add to the openend of pipeline.
The principle of diffusion coupling can expand to the simple individual reflection element of effect as remaining loudspeaker or section of tubing, and the length of pipeline can change to the loudspeaker section and almost directly provides to the diffuse source part.
A noticeable characteristic of the present invention for pipeline can be provided in the plane of radiant body, and is reached effective function.Also can distinguish and along more than one pipeline or waveguide guiding in the acoustic energy on the surface in source, and if after passing through along pipeline or waveguide, needed some outputs can smooth-goingly reconfigure, and it can be unequal length.
Can use twin flue, to be used to the energy of both sides, self-diffusion source.Preferable source is one or more pieces bending wave plates, but other these type of sources comprise small-sized traditional piston type loud speaker of the phase randomization signal of feeding of an array, or an array is by suitably being treated to the digital loudspeaker element that signal drove that the diffusion acoustic function is provided.Pipeline provides a kind of favourable integration function, and it can design as a low pass acoustic filter, to finish the response of hope from an array element digital loudspeaker.
Twin flue can landscape configuration, and at two disconnected positions, for example the passenger carriage along vehicle provides sound with single central authorities or the ectocentral sound producer of being positioned at.
Pipeline can be straight, and is crooked or folding, with allow a kind of elongated assembly be inserted in conventional loudspeakers the difficult locations that can't put.
Wide scope sound can be along pipeline transmission to actual little radiating aperture, for example in the slit of televimonitor side (normal is the pseudo-grid back that is contained in entrant sound).Tube performance can be distinguished by means of the cell formula in addition again and be strengthened, to suppress to intersect standing wave.
Pipeline and/or loudspeaker have a low frequency to be written into function, and it can use lumped parameter to give simple computation.This can favourablely be written into sound source, and borrowing the air quality of increases/coupling, and by in the baffle plate effect in the extension path length of related sound generator between before and after, range performance is hanged down in enhancing.
Plate or multiple plate (having identical or frequency selectivity/differential region area/form), or the back of multiple cone-shaped sound producer, but the back chamber of some or whole sealing strengthen for other resonance, and the frequency acoustic path between before and after the control.
Duct height and/or sectional area supply the smooth-going transmission of acoustic energy to have influence at definite upper frequency point.Therefore the rectangular duct of 30mm height will show some frequency dependences more than 10kHz, and the 10mm section will proceed to above 25kHz well.
Except laterally the distinguishing again of pipeline, the differentiation again of pipeline can extend to vertical direction, so that pipeline is distinguished more again, in upper frequency maintenance transmission performance.
The discharge area of the pipeline that diffuse source drove has influence to loudness, and with respect to the intrinsic area that exports, one variable area mechanism, such as a removable plate that hides from view on duct end, can provide convenience and the loudness control of effective form, and sound quality does not have remarkable loss.Behind mechanical loudness control device, can use a loudspeaker directionality element.Therefore the control of user's volume can be away from sound producer.Scheme can provide the pipeline control device in any position that makes things convenient for along pipeline as an alternative.
Pipeline of the present invention drives the loudspeaker terminal well, but and loudspeaker diffuse source can be provided direction-sense effectively and calculation control.Only duct end provides even wide-angle radiation, an almost ideal slit or near point source.
With regard to coincidence effect, it may be for the special design of bending wave plate, discrete Frequency point cause power from the axle limb, fluid coupling and pipeline integration, with acoustic energy configuration again, cause direction-sense coincidence effect no longer become the characteristic of the acoustics that obtains output.
