Mechanism of occlusion effect: during phonation, bone conduction energy causes the mandible and soft tissue adjacent to the external auditory canal to vibrate. This in turn causes the ear canal cartilage wall to vibrate, the energy produced then being transferred to the air volume within the tube. When the ear canal is occluded, most of the energy is trapped, resulting in an increase in the sound pressure level transmitted to the tympanic membrane and ultimately to the cochlea.
The acoustic valve provided in the embodiments of the present application will be explained in detail below. In the embodiments of the present application, the electrical connection means that two electrical devices are connected by a conductor so that electrical signals can be transmitted between the two electrical devices. In the drawings of the present application, the leads with arrows are all directed to the surface of the device and the leads with dots are all directed to the device itself.
First embodiment
Fig. 1 is an exploded view of a component of an acoustic valve 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The acoustic valve 100 is applied to the earphone 200, which is particularly applicable to an acoustic hole of the earphone 200, fig. 2 to 5 show several different installation positions of the acoustic valve 100, the earphone 200 includes a front cavity 211 and a rear cavity 212, the acoustic hole of the earphone 200 is particularly one or more of a front and rear cavity communication hole 213, a front vent hole 214 or a rear vent hole 215, the front and rear cavity communication holes 213 are respectively communicated with the front cavity 211 and the rear cavity 212, the front and rear cavity communication holes 213 can be arranged in an inner structure of the valve housing 110 (as shown in fig. 2), can be arranged in a speaker 220 in the earphone 200 (as shown in fig. 3), and can be formed by a gap which is coplanar with the speaker 220 and is not provided with other structures and is arranged between the front cavity 211 and the rear cavity 212 (as shown in fig. 4). Front vent 214 is adapted to communicate front chamber 211 with the ambient environment, and rear vent 215 is adapted to communicate rear chamber 212 with the ambient environment.
The acoustic valve 100 is used to control the open/close state of the front and rear chamber communication holes 213, the front drain hole 214, or the rear drain hole 215 in which it is located. When the acoustic valve 100 is mounted to the front and rear chamber communication holes 213 of the earphone 200, it is used to control the open and close state of the front and rear chamber communication holes 213. When the acoustic valve 100 is mounted to the front vent hole 214 of the earphone 200, the opening and closing state of the front vent hole 214 is controlled. When the acoustic valve 100 is mounted to the rear vent 215 of the earphone 200, it is used to control the open/close state of the rear vent 215.
The acoustic valve 100 includes a valve housing 110, an opening and closing portion 120, a returning portion 130, and an actuating portion 140, the valve housing 110 having a first sound hole and a second sound hole 111, the valve housing 110 having a receiving cavity communicating with the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111, respectively, the opening and closing portion 120, the actuating portion 140, and the returning portion 130 all being installed in the receiving cavity. The reset unit 130, the opening/closing unit 120, and the actuator 140 are installed between the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111, and the opening/closing unit 120 is used to control the communication state between the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111. When the first sound hole communicates with the second sound hole 111, the acoustic valve 100 is in an open state; when the communication of the first sound hole with the second sound hole 111 is cut off, the acoustic valve 100 is in a closed state.
As shown in fig. 1, 6 and 12, the reset portion 130 includes a first connecting body 131, a second connecting body 132 and an elastic body 133, the first connecting body 131 and the second connecting body 132 are connected by the elastic body 133, a hollow area 134 is formed between the first connecting body 131 and the second connecting body 132, a channel between the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111 passes through the hollow area 134, when the hollow area 134 is in an open state, the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111 are communicated, and when the hollow area 134 is covered by the opening and closing portion 120, the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111 are blocked at two sides of the hollow area and are in a non-communicated state. The first connecting body 131 is connected to the valve housing 110, and the second connecting body 132 is connected to the opening/closing portion 120. The opening and closing part 120 is movable between a first position and a second position in the valve housing 110, as shown in fig. 6, when the opening and closing part 120 is located at the first position, the opening and closing part 120 covers the hollow area 134, thereby disconnecting the communication between the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111. As shown in fig. 7, when the opening and closing portion 120 is located at the second position, the opening and closing portion 120 moves away from the hollow area 134, so that an airflow channel passing through the hollow area 134 is formed between the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111, that is, the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111 are communicated through the hollow area 134. One possible flow direction of the air flow is shown by the arrows in fig. 7, and the air flow enters the receiving cavity of the valve housing 110 after passing through the second sound hole 111, passes through the hollow-out area 134, and finally exits the valve housing 110 through the first sound hole, so that the two-side environment of the valve housing 110 can be in air circulation. Of course, the air flow direction may also be opposite to the direction shown by the arrow in fig. 7, i.e. entering the valve housing 110 from the first sound hole, passing through the hollow area 134, and finally exiting the valve housing 110 from the second sound hole 111.
The executing part 140 is used for controlling the opening and closing part 120 to move from the first position to the second position; that is, the actuator 140 is at least used to control the acoustic valve 100 to switch from the closed state to the open state.
When the opening and closing portion 120 moves from the first position to the second position, the opening and closing portion 120 drives the second connecting body 132 to move, and the elastic body 133 is elastically deformed, and when the executing portion 140 does not act on the opening and closing portion 120, the elastic body 133 drives the second connecting body 132 to reset, so that the opening and closing portion 120 is driven to move from the second position to the first position, and the acoustic valve 100 is switched from the open state to the closed state.
In this embodiment, the reset portion 130 acts as a limit for the opening/closing portion 120, so that the movement range of the opening/closing portion 120 relative to the valve housing 110 is limited by the elastic deformation amount of the elastic body 133.
The valve housing 110 may have various shapes, such as a regular shape, e.g., a cylindrical shape, a prismatic shape, a truncated cone shape, or other irregular structural shapes.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8-11, in one possible embodiment, the valve housing 110 has a basin shape with a cylindrical receiving cavity.
The first and second sound holes 111 may be located at both ends of the same side of the valve housing 110, or the first and second sound holes 111 may be located at different sides of the valve housing 110.
In one possible embodiment, the first and second sound holes 111 are located at opposite sides of the valve housing 110, respectively, and for convenience of reference, one pair of opposite sides of the valve housing 110 are referred to as a first side and a second side, respectively, with the receiving cavity located therebetween, one of the first and second sides being provided with the first sound hole and the other with the second sound hole 111. When the first side is provided with the first sound hole, the second side is provided with the second sound hole 111; when the first side is provided with the second sound hole 111, the first side is provided with the first sound hole. For convenience of description, the following description will be given by taking the case where the first sound hole is disposed on the first side and the second sound hole 111 is disposed on the second side.
In some implementations, the opening and closing part 120 and the executing part 140 are respectively located at two sides of the resetting part 130. Alternatively, the opening/closing portion 120 is disposed on a side close to the first sound hole, and the actuator 140 is disposed on a side close to the second sound hole 111.
Optionally, the aperture of the first sound hole is larger than the aperture of the second sound hole 111, so that the actuator 140, the reset portion 130 and the opening and closing portion 120 can be sequentially installed in the accommodating cavity from the first sound hole on the first side of the valve housing 110 due to the relatively large aperture of the first sound hole, and the area for supporting and fixing the actuator 140 on the second side is large due to the small aperture of the second sound hole 111, thereby facilitating installation. Alternatively, when valve housing 110 is formed in a basin shape, the receiving cavity may be formed with an opening on one side of valve housing 110, the opening acting as the first sound hole.
Alternatively, the first sound hole and the second sound hole 111 are both circular in cross section. In fig. 8 and 9, the opening/closing portion 120 has a circular plate-like structure. In fig. 10 and 11, the second sound hole 111 is located in the middle area of the second side, but the second sound hole 111 may be located in the edge area of the second side in other arrangements. The number of the second sound holes 111 may be one or more.
In some implementation manners, the opening and closing portion 120 is a rigid plate-shaped structure, and is arranged in such a way that after the elastic body drives the opening and closing portion 120 to reset, because the rigidity of the opening and closing portion 120 is high, the opening and closing portion 120 cannot deform in the moving process, so that the opening and closing portion 120 can relatively more accurately move to one side of the hollow area 134 to cover the hollow area 134, and the closing effect on the hollow area 134 after resetting is good. And because the portion of opening and shutting 120 can not take place deformation, consequently make the use angle of acoustic valve 100 unrestricted, no matter transversely put, erect and put or incline to put and can not influence the effect of closing of portion of opening and shutting 120 to fretwork district 134.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in some implementations, the actuating portion 140 includes a magnet 141 and a coil 142, the coil 142 is disposed outside the magnet 141, the coil 142 is connected to the second connecting portion 132, the coil 142 is powered to drive the second connecting portion 132 to move, and since the second connecting portion 132 is fixed to the open-close portion 120, the coil 142 drives the open-close portion 120 to move, so that the open-close portion 120 moves from the first position to the second position. After the coil 142 is energized with direct current, the coil 142 is moved in the direction close to the first sound hole along the axis thereof under the action of the lorentz force in the magnetic field generated by the magnet 141 by controlling the current direction, so as to drive the second connecting body 132 and the opening and closing portion 120 to move in the direction of the outer side of the valve housing 110, so that the opening and closing portion 120 moves from the first position to the second position, and the hollow area 134 is opened. After the coil 142 is powered off, the lorentz force acting on the coil 142 is reduced to disappear, the driving force of the coil 142 on the second connecting body 132 and the opening and closing portion 120 is reduced to disappear, the second connecting body 132 is driven by the elastic force of the elastic body 133 to move in the opposite direction, so that the coil 142 and the opening and closing portion 120 are driven to move, and the opening and closing portion 120 is driven to move from the second position to the first position to close the hollow area 134.
With reference to fig. 6 and fig. 7, in some implementations, the executing portion 140 further includes a magnetic conductor 143, the magnetic conductor 143 is connected to the magnet 141, and the coil 142 is sleeved outside the magnet 141 and the magnetic conductor 143. Because the magnetizer 143 is arranged, the magnetizer 143 generates a magnetic beam effect to constrain the magnetic induction lines in the area close to the coil 142, so that the redistribution of the space magnetic field is caused, the magnetic induction lines near the coil 142 are relatively denser, the acting force of the magnetic induction lines on the coil 142 is enhanced, and the coil 142 is driven to move conveniently.
In some implementations, the magnet 141 has an interior cavity that communicates with the first acoustic port, a first gap is formed between the coil 142 and the magnet 141, a second gap is formed between the coil 142 and the valve housing 110, the second gap communicates with the hollow-out region 134, the first gap communicates with the second gap, and the first gap communicates with the interior cavity when the coil 142 is energized; when the coil 142 is not energized, communication between the first gap and the lumen is broken. As shown in fig. 6, when the coil 142 is not energized, the top of the coil 142 is connected to the second connecting body 132, and the second connecting body 132 is connected to the opening/closing portion 120, that is, the opening/closing portion 120 and the second connecting body 132 form a cover-shaped structure on the top of the coil 142, and the cover covers the opening on the top of the inner cavity of the magnet 141, thereby cutting off the communication between the inner cavity of the magnet 141 and the first gap. As shown in fig. 7, after the coil 142 is energized and moved upward, the open-close portion 120 is moved away from the top opening of the inner cavity of the magnet 141, so that the inner cavity of the magnet 141 communicates with the first gap.
When the airflow enters from the first sound hole and flows out from the second sound hole 111, the airflow direction is as shown in fig. 7, the airflow enters the inner cavity of the magnet 141 through the first sound hole, enters the first gap through the inner cavity of the magnet 141, enters the second gap through the first gap, and the airflow in the second gap flows to the second sound hole 111 through the hollow area 134 and finally flows out from the second sound hole 111. In this way, after the coil 142 is energized, the acoustic valve 100 allows gas communication between the environment outside the first sound hole and the environment outside the second sound hole 111.
It should be noted that, when the actuator 140 includes the magnetic conductor 143 and the magnet 141 has an inner cavity, the magnetic conductor 143 has a hollow chamber communicating with the inner cavity. When the acoustic valve 100 is opened, the hollow chamber communicates with the first gap, and when the acoustic valve 100 is closed, communication between the first gap and the hollow chamber is cut off.
In other implementations, a second gap is formed between the coil 142 and the valve housing 110, and the first acoustic hole communicates with the second gap, and the first acoustic hole communicates with the hollowed-out area 134 through the second gap. In this arrangement, the magnet 141 does not need to be provided with an internal cavity.
In some implementations, the coil 142 may be connected with a wire that extends out of the valve housing 110 and then connects to a control module, thereby controlling the on/off state of the coil 142 via the control module. The control module may be a control module in a headset to which the acoustic valve 100 is applied.
Alternatively, in another implementation, the first connector 131 is connected to the conductive terminal 136, the second connector 132 is electrically connected to the first connector 131 through the elastic body 133, and the coil 142 is electrically connected to the second connector 132. That is, the first connection body 131, the second connection body 132, and the elastic body 133 are all made of a conductive material. So set up, reset portion 130 plays support and reset effect to opening and shutting portion 120 on the one hand, and on the other hand plays the electrically conductive effect to coil 142. The coil 142 and the second connecting body 132 may be connected by welding.
As shown in fig. 8-11, the conductive terminals 136 extend outside the valve housing 110 to electrically connect with the control module. In one possible embodiment, relief holes are provided in the valve housing 110 for the conductive terminals 136 to extend through.
As shown in fig. 12, in an alternative arrangement, the first connecting body 131 is connected with a conductive sheet 135, and one end of the conductive sheet 135 is provided with a conductive terminal 136. The conductive tab 135 extends outside the valve housing 110 such that the conductive terminal 136 is located outside the valve housing 110. In one embodiment, the conductive terminals 136 are solder joints for soldering to communication lines of the control module. The conductive sheet 135 may include a conductive inner core having an insulating coating disposed thereon, and the conductive terminals 136 may be formed in areas of the conductive sheet 135 not having the insulating coating disposed thereon. In fig. 12, two conductive terminals 136 are spaced apart from each other on the conductive sheet 135. In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 13, the conductive terminals 136 protrude from the conductive sheet 135 at the sides thereof.
In some implementations, the first connecting body 131 and the second connecting body 132 are both annular structures, the first connecting body 131 surrounds the second connecting body 132, and the first connecting body 131 and the second connecting body 132 are located on the same plane. Preferably, the outer contour shape of the first connection body 131 is the same as the sectional shape of the receiving cavity. Illustratively, the receiving cavity is a cylindrical cavity with a circular cross section, and the outer contour of the first connecting body 131 is circular. As shown in fig. 12, the first connection body 131 has a circular ring shape. The shape of the first connection body 131 may be the same as or different from that of the second connection body 132. In fig. 12, the first connection body 131 and the second connection body 132 are both circular rings, the second connection body 132 and the first connection body 131 are coaxially arranged, and the inner diameter of the first connection body 131 is larger than the outer diameter of the second connection body 132. Between the first connecting body 131 and the second connecting body 132, the area except the elastic body 133 is the hollow area 134.
The elastic body 133 may be a spring, a spring plate, an elastic band, or other elastic structures. It should be noted that, when the coil 142 is directly connected to the control module through a wire, the elastic body 133 may be made of a non-conductive elastic material, such as rubber, and when the coil 142 is connected to the control module through the conductive terminal 136 connected to the first connecting body 131, the elastic body 133 is made of a conductive material, such as metal.
As shown in fig. 12, in some implementations, the elastic body 133 has a bent strip structure, and one end of the elastic body 133 is connected to the first connection body 131 and the other end is connected to the second connection body 132. With this arrangement, the elastic body 133 can be elastically deformed to some extent while maintaining relatively strong rigidity. For example, the elastic body 133 may be made of a thin metal sheet, and after the opening/closing portion 120 moves, the second elastic body 133 moves along with the opening/closing portion 120 in the axial direction, as shown in fig. 13 and 14, the elastic body 133 is elastically deformed to a certain extent, so as to ensure that the first connecting body 131 and the second connecting body 132 can be maintained in a non-coplanar state to leak out of the hollow area 134.
In some implementations, the first side of the valve housing 110 is provided with a limit stop 114, and the first connection body 131 is connected to the limit stop 114. The limiting table 114 extends inward from the inner wall of the receiving cavity of the valve housing 110, and is used for supporting the first connecting body 131 and providing a larger installation space for installing the first connecting body 131 in the valve housing 110. The side surface of the limiting table 114 for supporting the first connecting body 131 is a supporting surface, which is opposite to the first sound hole, that is, the elastic part can be extended into the valve housing 110 from the first sound hole, and the first connecting body 131 of the elastic part is limited at the supporting surface after moving to the inside of the valve housing 110.
When the accommodating cavity is a cylindrical cavity, the opening and closing portion 120 is installed at a position close to the first sound hole, and after the opening and closing portion 120 extends out of the valve housing 110, the opening and closing portion 120 is moved away from the hollow area 134 and the first sound hole, so that the hollow area 134 is communicated with the first sound hole.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, a slope 115 is provided on an inner wall of one side edge of the valve housing 110 on which the first sound hole is provided, and the slope 115 is gradually inclined from one side close to the outer side wall of the valve housing 110 to the other side toward the axial direction close to the accommodation chamber. That is, when the open/close portion 120 moves to the slope surface 115, the open/close portion 120 continues to move outward, and a gap is formed between the outer peripheral side of the open/close portion 120 and the slope surface 115, and the first sound hole and the hollow-out region 134 are communicated through the gap. With this arrangement, the acoustic valve 100 can be switched to the open state without moving the opening/closing portion 120 to the outside of the valve housing 110.
In some implementations, the valve housing 110 includes a base 112 and a limit ring 113, a flange 116 extends outward from one side of the base 112, the limit ring 113 is connected to the flange 116, and a limit table 114 is disposed in an inner ring area of the limit ring 113. The base 112 is provided with a flange 116 to increase the contact area with the retainer ring 113, so as to facilitate the connection and fixation of the retainer ring 113 and the base 112. The valve housing 110 is divided into the base 112 and the retainer ring 113, so that the installation of the actuating portion 140, the restoring portion 130, and the opening and closing portion 120 is facilitated, so that the opening into the valve housing 110 is not affected by the size of the retainer ring 113 when the actuating portion 140 is installed inside the valve housing 110. That is, in the assembling process, the magnet 141 and the magnetizer 143 are first installed in the base 112, then the limit ring 113 is connected with the base 112, and then the connected coil 142, the reset portion 130 and the opening and closing portion 120 are installed on the limit ring 113, and in the installing process, the coil 142 passes through the limit table 114 of the limit ring 113 and is sleeved outside the magnet 141.
When the limiting table 114 is provided, the slope surface 115 of the valve housing 110 is provided on the limiting table 114, and the slope surface 115 is gradually inclined from one side away from the base 112 to the other side toward the inner side of the accommodating cavity.
In the present embodiment, the magnet 141 may be a permanent magnet.
Second embodiment
As shown in fig. 15, the present embodiment provides another acoustic valve 100, and the position of the acoustic valve 100 in the earphone 200 provided by the present embodiment is the same as the position of the acoustic valve 100 in the earphone 200 provided by the first embodiment, which is not described herein again.
The present embodiment provides an acoustic valve 100 including: the valve housing 110, the actuating portion 140, the opening and closing portion 120 and the restoring portion 130, the structures of the valve housing 110, the opening and closing portion 120 and the restoring portion 130 in this embodiment are the same as those of the valve housing 110, the opening and closing portion 120 and the restoring portion 130 in the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.
In this embodiment, the actuating portion 140 includes a magnet 141 and a coil 142, the coil 142 is sleeved outside the magnet 141, the opening/closing portion 120 is made of a magnetic conductive material, the coil 142 magnetizes the opening/closing portion 120 after being energized, and the magnetized opening/closing portion 120 has a polarity opposite to that of the magnet 141 by controlling a current direction of a direct current flowing through the coil 142, that is, a life, a magnetic property of an end of the magnetized opening/closing portion 120 facing the magnet 141 is the same as a magnetic property of an end of the magnet 141 facing the opening/closing portion 120, so that the magnet 141 and the opening/closing portion 120 repel each other, and the opening/closing portion 120 moves in a direction away from the magnet 141, so that the opening/closing portion moves from the first position to the second position. As shown in fig. 16 and 17, the first sound hole, the open/close portion 120, the magnet 141, and the second sound hole 111 are provided at an interval along the straight line W, and a point located on the side of the open/close portion 120 away from the magnet 141 on the straight line is X1, and a point located on the side of the magnet 141 away from the open/close portion 120 on the straight line is X2, and after the open/close portion 120 is magnetized, the polarities of both sides of the open/close portion 120 in the X1 to X2 direction are opposite to the polarities of both sides of the magnet 141 in the X1 to X2 direction.
For example, in the directions shown in fig. 16 and 17, the open/close portion 120 is located above the magnet 141, and if the upper side of the magnet 141 is an N pole and the lower side is an S pole, the magnetized open/close portion 120 has an S pole on the upper side and an N pole on the lower side, and has a polarity opposite to that of the magnet 141. Since the magnetic poles of the side of the opening/closing portion 120 close to the magnet 141 are the same as the magnetic poles of the side of the magnet 141 close to the opening/closing portion 120, the opening/closing portion 120 moves in the direction away from the magnet 141, as shown in fig. 16, the opening/closing portion 120 drives the second connecting body 132 to move upward, the elastic body 133 is stretched, the hollow area 134 is opened, the first sound hole is communicated with the second sound hole 111, and the acoustic valve 100 is switched to the open state. The direction of the airflow is shown by the arrows in fig. 17. One possible flow direction of the air flow is shown by the arrows in fig. 17, and the air flow enters the receiving cavity of the valve housing 110 after passing through the second sound hole 111, passes through the hollow-out area 134, and finally exits the valve housing 110 through the first sound hole, so that the two-side environment of the valve housing 110 can be in air circulation. Of course, the air flow direction may also be opposite to the direction shown by the arrow in fig. 17, i.e. entering the valve housing 110 from the first sound hole, passing through the hollow area 134, and finally exiting the valve housing 110 from the second sound hole 111.
In some implementations, the coil 142 may be connected with a wire that passes through the valve housing 110 and then connects with the control module, thereby controlling the on/off state of the coil 142 by the control module.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 18, in another implementation, the conductive terminal 136 is connected to the first connector 131, and the coil 142 is electrically connected to the first connector 131. The conductive terminals 136 extend outside the valve housing 110 for electrical connection with the control module. In one possible embodiment, relief holes are provided in the valve housing 110 for the conductive terminals 136 to extend through. So set up, reset portion 130 plays support and reset effect to opening and shutting portion 120 on the one hand, and on the other hand plays the electrically conductive effect to coil 142.
As shown in fig. 18, in order to facilitate the connection of the first connecting body 131 with the coil 142, the inner ring diameter of the first connecting body 131 is smaller than the inner ring diameter of the stopping block 114, i.e., a partial region of the first connecting body 131 is extended to a position opposite to the inner ring region of the stopping block 114 to be exposed into the receiving cavity for connection with the coil 142.
In the present embodiment, a permanent magnet may be used as the magnet 141.
