The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "mounted," "connected," and "fixed" are to be construed broadly and are intended to mean, unless otherwise explicitly stated or limited, for example, that "connected" may or may not be detachably connected; the connection can be direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as implying or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated, whereby a feature defined as "first", "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features; the term "plurality" means two or more than two.
The directional terms used in the embodiments of the present application, such as "inner", "outer", "side", "top", "bottom", and the like, are used solely in the orientation with reference to the drawings, and thus are used for better and clearer illustration and understanding of the embodiments of the present application, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements being referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore are not to be considered as limiting the embodiments of the present application.
The embodiment of the application provides a loudspeaker and electronic equipment applying the loudspeaker. The speaker can adopt the sense of hearing conduction mode of bone conduction (bone conduction) or cartilage conduction (cartilage conduction) to utilize contact transaudient technique, make the less loss of sound wave energy in the air, thereby reduce the sound leakage, promote the privacy of conversation and listening, also can promote the low frequency sense of hearing simultaneously. In addition, the auditory conduction mode of cartilage conduction can provide stereo auditory effect, and meanwhile, good auditory sensitivity can be generated under low compression force, so that the communication effect and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be improved; meanwhile, the pushing piece for cartilage conduction has low air radiation efficiency due to the characteristics of small radiation surface and small displacement, and the problem of sound leakage can be effectively improved.
In the embodiment of the present application, the pushing member of the speaker is used to contact the user and push the bone or cartilage of the user to vibrate, so that the sound wave (vibration signal) converted from the electric signal is directly transmitted to the auditory nerve of the user through the bone or cartilage. The pushing member may also be referred to as a pushing unit or a vibrator. The pushing piece can be made of flexible high polymer materials with high biocompatibility, so that the wearing comfort of the loudspeaker is improved, and the use experience of a user is improved.
In some embodiments, the speaker may use a piezoelectric polymer as a driving member, and the piezoelectric polymer is extended and contracted under the control of an electric field by applying an external electric field to the piezoelectric polymer, so as to drive the bone or cartilage of the user to vibrate and generate an auditory sensation. In other embodiments, the speaker may also use a dielectric polymer as a pushing member, and electrodes are disposed on two sides of the dielectric polymer, so that coulomb force generated when the electrodes are energized is utilized to stretch or compress the dielectric polymer, so that the dielectric polymer is deformed, thereby pushing bone or cartilage of a user to vibrate and generate an auditory sensation. In other embodiments, the speaker may also use a common high polymer as a driving member, and an additional driving member stretches or compresses the dielectric high polymer to deform the common high polymer, so as to drive the bone or cartilage of the user to vibrate and generate an auditory sensation.
The electronic device may be a portable device or a wearable device including an audio device, such as a mobile phone, a mobile phone accessory (e.g., a smart phone shell), an earphone, a watch, smart glasses, a smart helmet, a stylus pen, and the like.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an audio playing process of an electronic device according to the present application. In some embodiments, an electronic device includes circuitry and a speaker. Illustratively, the circuitry may include a codec (codec) and a Power Amplifier (PA). After the audio signal is coded and decoded by the coder and the decoder, the audio signal enters the power amplifier for voltage amplification, so that the driving voltage threshold of the loudspeaker is reached. The power amplifier can be single-stage amplification or multi-stage amplification. The power amplifier is provided with a direct current power supply input port and an alternating current signal input port, the alternating current signal input port is provided with signals by a codec, and for the direct current power supply port, a direct current voltage amplification system (boost) is required to amplify the voltage of a power supply end. The direct-current voltage amplifying system can be a single-stage voltage amplifying system or a multi-stage voltage amplifying system.
The circuit system can be formed on the driving chip. The driving chip can be an integral chip or comprise two parts. For example, the codec of the circuit system may be integrated as a circuit module in another chip of the electronic device, or may be a separate chip, and the power amplifier of the circuit system is formed in another chip. The present application is not intended to be limited to the exact implementation of the circuitry.
The loudspeaker can be used as a driving system of an audio device of the electronic equipment. The speaker may include a push member for contacting a user. Illustratively, the pusher may be a polymeric material having a Young's modulus of less than or equal to 1GPa (gigapascal), such as Polyurethane (PU), thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), rubber, silicone, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyetherimide (PEI), and the like. The structural form of the polymer material may be a conventional soft polymer structure, a superelastic polymer structure designed by using a special structure, or a stacked structure of multiple layers of polymers, which is not limited in this application. For example, the conventional soft polymer structure may be a rubber-like polymer, and the ultimate tensile properties thereof generally exceed 100% or more. The super-elastic high polymer structure can adopt artificial materials such as a slip ring structure, a pull rod structure and the like, and the ultimate tensile property of the super-elastic high polymer structure can generally reach 1000%.
In some embodiments, the pushing member may be made of a piezoelectric polymer material, and the pushing member deforms under the driving of the driving voltage. In other embodiments, the speaker may further include a driving member (not shown) for driving the driving member to vibrate. For example, the pushing member can be made of dielectric polymer material or common polymer material, and the driving member can be pressed by the driving member under the driving voltage to deform the pushing member. Or the pushing piece can be made of an electromagnetic high polymer material, and the driving piece is used for generating a magnetic field under the driving of the driving voltage so that the pushing piece deforms in the magnetic field. It can be understood that when the pushing member is repeatedly deformed, vibration can be generated, so that the skin of the user contacted by the pushing member and the bone or cartilage below the skin of the user are pushed to vibrate, sound waves are transmitted to the auditory nerve, and the user feels an auditory sensation. The specific structure of the pusher (and the driver) will be described as an example hereinafter.
In some embodiments, the pusher of the speaker may directly contact the user. The pusher has a contact surface for contacting a user. In this embodiment, the contact between the contact surface of the pusher and the user is direct contact. Because the pushing piece is made of a flexible high polymer material with high biocompatibility, the electronic equipment has better wearing comfort. In addition, the human body acoustic impedance is about 1.5MPa s/m 3 The acoustic impedance of metal or ceramic materials of conventional bone conduction speaker is generally 5 times or more that of human body, for example, the acoustic impedance of metal materials is generally more than 30MPa 3 The acoustic impedance of the high polymer material is generally about 0.8 to 3 times that of a human body, so that the acoustic impedance of the high polymer material is closer to that of the human body compared with metal or ceramic materials of a traditional bone conduction loudspeaker, the acoustic impedance difference between the pushing piece and the human body is small, sound waves generated by the vibration of the pushing piece can smoothly enter the human body, the sound wave transmission effect is enhanced, and the transmission efficiency is improved. Wherein the acoustic resistanceReactance is the product of density and speed of sound.
In other embodiments, the speaker may further include a matching layer (also referred to as a coupling layer). The matching layer is fixed on the contact surface of the pushing piece. At this time, the contact between the contact surface of the pushing member and the user is indirect contact. After the loudspeaker controls the pushing piece to generate vibration effect, sound wave enters the matching layer and then enters the human body through the bone or cartilage of the user. The matching layer is used for transferring the acoustic impedance of the pushing piece and the acoustic impedance of a human body, for example, the acoustic impedance of the matching layer can be gradually changed from a value which is the same as or close to the acoustic impedance of the pushing piece to a value which is the same as or close to the acoustic impedance of the human body, so that sound waves can smoothly enter the matching layer from the pushing piece and enter the human body from the matching layer, the transmission effect of the sound waves is further enhanced, and the bone conduction efficiency or the cartilage conduction efficiency of the loudspeaker is improved. The specific structure of the matching layer will be described as an example.
It is understood that the pushing member may be displaced and controlled by various means such as curling or bending, and the pushing force or pushing displacement may be amplified by using a mechanical device, which may include, but is not limited to, a lever, a cantilever, an overhanging beam, and the like. The structural design of the pusher, the structure of the mechanical device, and the like will be described as examples hereinafter.
In some embodiments, the power amplifier can perform voltage control and current control on the audio signal to realize displacement control and power consumption control on the pushing piece, so as to enhance the characteristics of the high polymer oscillator. It is understood that, in the present embodiment, the power amplifier may select a high voltage power amplifier to provide a stronger driving capability. Meanwhile, the power of the power amplifier does not need to be too large due to the low dielectric constant of the high polymer. Based on this, the power amplifier can also select an intelligent power amplifier (smart power amplifier) to better control the deformation of the high polymer by means of the feedback of current and voltage, so as to realize the active regulation and control of the loudspeaker.
Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2A is a schematic flowchart of a voltage control algorithm for an audio signal according to the present disclosure. The power amplifier can control the voltage of the audio signal through a voltage control algorithm, so that the displacement of the loudspeaker is controlled within a reasonable range, and the low frequency can be improved while the nonlinearity is controlled to a certain extent. Specifically, firstly, time domain framing is carried out on an audio input signal to form a first signal; then, the gain control system controls the amplitude of the first signal according to the static parameter and the dynamic parameter to form a second signal; and finally, processing the second signal by the interframe smooth combination according to the interframe smooth parameters to form an audio output signal.
The static parameters received by the gain control system are wave packets, and the dynamic parameters are obtained by the audio input signals through a recursive filter. The envelope (envelope) is a parameter that approximately outlines a tone waveform to show the characteristics of the tone in terms of volume change. A envelope can be described by 4 parameters, namely attack (attack), decay (decay), delay (sustain) and release (release), which are commonly referred to as "ADSR". Recursive filters are also known as Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters. For example, the audio input signal enters a displacement model for analytic solution prediction to obtain a predicted displacement, and then the predicted displacement is compared with a displacement threshold, and the comparison result is a dynamic parameter. The displacement model is adapted to the loudspeaker. When the predicted displacement is larger than the displacement threshold, the gain control system controls the amplitude of the first signal to slowly decrease, namely, the gain of the system is slowly decreased, so that the displacement enters a reasonable area. When the predicted displacement is smaller than the displacement threshold, the gain control system controls the amplitude of the first signal to slowly rise, namely, the gain of the system slowly rises, so that the capacity of the loudspeaker is reasonably released.
Referring to fig. 2B, fig. 2B is a schematic flow chart of a current control algorithm for an audio signal according to the present application. The power amplifier can control the current of the audio signal through a current control algorithm, so that the power consumption of the audio signal is controlled, the power amplifier can drive the loudspeaker under the condition of providing the maximum current, and meanwhile, the Over Current Protection (OCP) problem is not generated, so that the vibration characteristic of the pushing piece adopting the high polymer is fully exerted. Specifically, time domain framing is performed on the audio input signal to form a third signal; then, the gain control system controls the amplitude of the third signal according to the static parameter and the dynamic parameter to form a fourth signal; and finally, processing the fourth signal by the interframe smooth combination according to the interframe smooth parameters to form an audio output signal.
The static parameters received by the gain control system are wave packets, and the dynamic parameters are obtained by the audio input signals through a recursive filter. For example, the audio input signal enters the impedance model to perform analytic solution prediction to obtain a predicted current and predicted power consumption, and then the predicted power consumption is compared with a battery power consumption threshold, and the comparison result is a dynamic parameter. The impedance model is adapted to the loudspeaker. When the predicted power is larger than the power threshold, the gain control system controls the amplitude of the third signal to slowly decrease, namely, the gain of the system is slowly decreased, so that the output power enters a reasonable area, and the current is ensured not to exceed the standard. When the predicted power is smaller than the power threshold, the gain control system controls the amplitude of the third signal to slowly rise, namely, the gain of the system slowly rises, so that the capability of the loudspeaker is reasonably released.
The control system of the power amplifier operates by combining a voltage control algorithm and a current control algorithm, and the essence of the control system is to control the voltage output of the audio output signal, ensure that the current of the audio output signal does not exceed the standard under the condition of ensuring that the voltage of the audio output signal does not exceed the standard, and carry out gain control by taking the lower limit of all the capabilities of the power amplifier.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may further adjust, via circuitry, an overall Equalizer (EQ) and Dynamic Range Compression (DRC) of the sound according to the user's subjective and objective listening experience, thereby maintaining a better listening experience.
Hereinafter, a speaker using a piezoelectric polymer will be exemplified.
Referring to fig. 3A and fig. 3B in combination, fig. 3A is a schematic structural diagram of a speaker 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application in some embodiments, and fig. 3B is a schematic structural diagram of the speaker 1 shown in fig. 3A at another angle.
In some embodiments, the loudspeaker 1 may be a piezoelectric loudspeaker. For example, the speaker 1 includes a piezoelectric film 11 and a base 12. The piezoelectric membrane 11 acts as a push member for the loudspeaker 1. The piezoelectric film 11 is fixed to the base 12. The base 12 is a rigid support, and may be made of metal, acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment. The piezoelectric film 11 is deformed under alternating current control. The piezoelectric film 11 is made of a piezoelectric polymer material having a young's modulus of 1GPa or less. Illustratively, the base 12 may be a square, annular frame. The piezoelectric film 11 includes a middle portion 11a and a peripheral edge 11b disposed around the middle portion 11a, the peripheral edge 11b of the piezoelectric film 11 is fixed to the base 12, and the piezoelectric film 11 may be a square film.
Since the piezoelectric film 11 is made of a piezoelectric polymer material having piezoelectricity, when alternating current is applied to both sides of the piezoelectric film 11, the piezoelectric film 11 is deformed to expand and contract under the control of the alternating current. In the present embodiment, the central portion 11a of the piezoelectric film 11 vibrates up and down by fixing the peripheral edge 11b of the piezoelectric film 11 so that the extension and contraction deformation of the piezoelectric film 11 is converted into the bending deformation. That is, when the piezoelectric film 11 is energized, the piezoelectric film 11 is deformed, and the center portion 11a of the piezoelectric film 11 can vibrate with respect to the peripheral edge 11b of the piezoelectric film 11. As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the piezoelectric film 11 of the loudspeaker 1 shown in fig. 3A in a use state, and the piezoelectric film 11 is under current control, and the middle part 11a of the piezoelectric film 11 swells, so that the piezoelectric film 11 deforms.
In the present embodiment, the piezoelectric film 11 of the speaker 1 is made of a flexible, high-biocompatibility piezoelectric polymer material, and therefore has a better wearing comfort. In addition, the acoustic impedance of the common high polymer material is closer to the acoustic impedance of a human body than that of a metal or ceramic material of the traditional bone conduction speaker, so that sound waves generated by the vibration of the speaker 1 can smoothly enter the human body, and the sound wave transmission effect is enhanced.
In the present application, the piezoelectric film 11 may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure, and the piezoelectric film 11 may have a single-crystal vibration structure or a double-crystal vibration structure, as will be described below by way of example.
Referring to fig. 5A, fig. 5A is a schematic structural diagram of the piezoelectric film 11 of the speaker 1 shown in fig. 3A in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the piezoelectric film 11 may have a single-layer structure, and may have a single-crystal structure, and the polarization direction of the piezoelectric film 11 may be the same as the electric field direction thereof, or the polarization direction of the piezoelectric film 11 may be opposite to the electric field direction thereof. The electric field direction of the piezoelectric film 11 is a direction in which the positive electrode layer thereof faces the negative electrode layer.
The piezoelectric film 11 includes a piezoelectric film layer 111. The piezoelectric film layer 111 includes a piezoelectric material layer 1111, a positive electrode layer 1112, and a negative electrode layer 1113. The piezoelectric material layer 1111 includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the positive electrode layer 1112 is fixed to the first surface, and the negative electrode layer 1113 is fixed to the second surface. The piezoelectric material layer 1111 is made of a piezoelectric polymer material having a young's modulus of 1GPa or less. The piezoelectric polymer material can be selected from piezoelectric polymers with good stability, and the piezoelectric polymer material is stretched in a molten polymer state to form a polymer with polarization characteristics. The piezoelectric polymer material may be, but is not limited to, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) material, a derivative of PVDF, a copolymer of PVDF and fluoroethylene, or a copolymer of PVDF and propylene. In this embodiment, the piezoelectric material layer 1111 can have a permanent molecular dipole moment while reaching a certain concentration value, and has a strong strain capability.
Among them, the positive electrode layer 1112 and the negative electrode layer 1113 may be directly grown on both surfaces of the piezoelectric material layer 1111, and the positive electrode layer 1112 and the negative electrode layer 1113 are small in thickness, small in rigidity, and good in ductility, and can secure sufficient ductility during vibration of the piezoelectric film 11. The shapes of the positive electrode layer 1112 and the negative electrode layer 1113 are designed in accordance with the piezoelectric material layer 1111.
Illustratively, the positive electrode layer 1112 and the negative electrode layer 1113 can be formed by chemical vapor deposition, chemical liquid deposition, electron beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, electroplating, and the like.

When the piezoelectric film 11 is energized, the piezoelectric film 11 is deformed, and the top surface 14 of the piezoelectric film 11 can vibrate with respect to the bottom surface 15 of the piezoelectric film 11. At this time, the vibration direction of the piezoelectric film 11 is the radial direction of the cylinder. The contact surface 112 of the piezoelectric film 11 may be formed on the top surface 14 of the piezoelectric film 11.
For example, the piezoelectric film 11 may be disposed around the cylinder, and in this case, the piezoelectric film 11 has a cylindrical shape. In other embodiments, the piezoelectric film 11 may also be in an arc shape, and the piezoelectric film 11 is fixed to a partial region of the outer side surface 125 of the base 12. In other embodiments, the base 12 may have other cylindrical shapes, such as a square cylinder shape, and the bottom surface 15 of the piezoelectric film 11 is fixed to the outer side surface of the base 12.
Referring to fig. 16A and 16B, fig. 16A is a schematic structural diagram of a speaker 1 according to an embodiment of the present application in other embodiments, and fig. 16B is a schematic internal structural diagram of the speaker 1 shown in fig. 16A. The speaker 1 of the present embodiment may include most technical features of the speaker 1 of the previous embodiment, and differences between the two are mainly described below, and most of the same contents between the two are not described again.
In some embodiments, the loudspeaker 1 comprises a base 12 and a piezoelectric membrane 11. The base 12 has a receiving groove 126, the receiving groove 126 extends into the base 12 along a direction, which is the groove depth direction of the receiving groove 126, and the opening of the receiving groove 126 is located on one side of the base 12. The piezoelectric film 11 includes a first portion 113 and a second portion 114, when the piezoelectric film 11 is not powered on, the first portion 113 of the piezoelectric film 11 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 126, and the second portion 114 of the piezoelectric film 11 protrudes from the base 12. When the piezoelectric film 11 is energized, both the first portion 113 and the second portion 114 of the piezoelectric film 11 are deformed, so that the second portion 114 of the piezoelectric film 11 can vibrate in the groove depth direction of the accommodation groove 126. That is, the deformation of the first portion 113 and the second portion 114 of the piezoelectric film 11 in common can be reflected on the action of the second portion 114 away from the base 12 or close to the base 12, thereby vibrating the second portion 114. At this time, the contact surface 112 of the piezoelectric film 11 may be located at an end surface of the second portion 114 remote from the first portion 113. Wherein, the end of the first portion 113 of the piezoelectric film 11 far away from the second portion 114 can be fixedly connected to the base 12 to prevent the piezoelectric film 11 from separating from the base 12. It is understood that, in the present embodiment, due to the structural design, the piezoelectric film 11 may also be referred to as a piezoelectric block or a piezoelectric material stack.
In the embodiment of the present application, the loudspeaker 1 may further improve the performance of the loudspeaker 1 by designing the structure of the base 12 such that the amplitude of the piezoelectric film 11 is amplified. The following description is given by way of example.
Referring to fig. 17, fig. 17 is a schematic structural diagram of a speaker 1 according to another embodiment of the present application. The speaker 1 of the present embodiment may include most of the technical features of the speaker 1 of the previous embodiments, and differences between the two are mainly described below, and most of the same contents between the two are not described again.
In some embodiments, the loudspeaker 1 is of a cantilever beam construction. For example, the speaker 1 includes a base 12 and a piezoelectric film 11. One end of the piezoelectric film 11 is fixed to the base 12, and the other end of the piezoelectric film 11 is suspended, so that when the piezoelectric film 11 is powered on, the other end of the piezoelectric film 11 can vibrate relative to one end of the piezoelectric film 11. In this embodiment, the design mode that one end of the piezoelectric film 11 is fixed, and the other end is suspended and vibrates is a larger vibration stroke, that is, the speaker 1 can have a larger vibration amplitude, compared with the design mode that two ends or the periphery of the piezoelectric film 11 is fixed and the middle part vibrates, so that a larger loudness is obtained.
The contact surface 112 may be located at the suspended end of the piezoelectric film 11, and is located at a side of the piezoelectric film 11 facing away from the base 12. In other embodiments, the contact surface 112 may be located at the floating end of the piezoelectric film 11 and at the side of the piezoelectric film 11 close to the base 12.

The speaker 1 of the present embodiment may include most technical features of the speaker 1 of the previous embodiment, and differences between the two are mainly described below, and most of the same contents between the two are not described again.
In some embodiments, the loudspeaker 1 is of a simple beam construction. For example, the speaker 1 includes a base 12 and a piezoelectric film 11, and a peripheral edge 11b of the piezoelectric film 11 is fixed to the base 12. When the piezoelectric film 11 is energized, the piezoelectric film 11 is deformed, and the center portion 11a of the piezoelectric film 11 can vibrate with respect to the peripheral edge 11b of the piezoelectric film 11. The portion 127 of the base 12 for fixing the piezoelectric film 11 is in a spike shape, so as to form a simple beam structure.
In this embodiment, since the speaker 1 adopts the simply supported beam fixing structure, the bending modulus of the piezoelectric film 11 during vibration is increased, so that the piezoelectric film 11 has a larger vibration stroke, and the loudness of the speaker 1 is higher. At this time, the contact face 112 of the piezoelectric film 11 may be formed on the surface of the portion 127 of the piezoelectric film 11 facing the base 12.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the speaker 1 may have other structures to increase the vibration stroke of the piezoelectric film 11, which is not limited in this application.

The speaker 2 of the present embodiment may include most technical features of the speakers of the previous embodiments, and differences between the two are mainly described below, and most of the same contents between the two are not described again.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 19A, the speaker 2 includes a pusher 21, a first electrode 22, and a second electrode 23. The urging member 21 is made of a dielectric polymer material having a young's modulus of 1GPa or less. The pusher 21 comprises a first face 211, a second face 212 and a third face 213, wherein the first face 211 and the second face 212 are arranged in a reverse manner, the third face 213 is located between the first face 211 and the second face 212, the first electrode 22 is fixed on the first face 211, the second electrode 23 is fixed on the second face 212, and the third face 213 is used for contacting a user. That is, the contact face 214 of the pusher 21 corresponds to the third face 213 of the pusher 21.
As shown in fig. 19B and 19C, when a potential difference is formed between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23, the first face 211 and the second face 212 of the pusher 21 approach or move away from each other, so that the third face 213 of the pusher 21 vibrates. Specifically, as shown in fig. 19B, when the speaker 2 is powered on, a potential difference is formed between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23, and due to the mutual attraction of charges between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23, the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 approach each other, the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 jointly press the pushing member 21, the first surface 211 and the second surface 212 of the pushing member 21 approach each other, and the third surface 213 of the pushing member 21 is pressed and protruded. As shown in fig. 19C, when the potential difference between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 decreases, the attractive force between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 decreases, the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 move away from each other, the pressing degree of the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 on the pusher 21 decreases, the first surface 211 and the second surface 212 of the pusher 21 move away from each other, and the protrusion degree of the third surface 213 of the pusher 21 decreases.
That is, when the speaker 2 receives a continuous and variable driving voltage, the potential difference between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 changes, the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 approach and move away from each other according to the driving voltage, the first surface 211 and the second surface 212 of the pusher 21 approach and move away from each other, and the continuous relative motion between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 causes the third surface 213 of the pusher 21 to vibrate, i.e., the contact surface 214 of the pusher 21 vibrates. Therefore, the loudspeaker 2 can generate the auditory sensation by driving the contact surface 214 of the pusher 21 to push the bone or cartilage of the user to vibrate under the driving of the driving voltage.
In the present embodiment, the pushing member 21 of the speaker 2 is made of a flexible, high-biocompatibility dielectric polymer material, so that the wearing comfort is better. In addition, the acoustic impedance of the dielectric polymer material is close to that of the skin, so that the sound waves emitted by the loudspeaker 2 can smoothly enter the human body, and the sound wave transmission effect is enhanced.
The dielectric polymer material may be, but is not limited to, a silicon-based rubber material, a carbon fiber material, a carbon nanotube material, or the like. The dielectric high polymer material is selected from materials with larger dielectric coefficients. In this embodiment, the piezoelectric performance of the dielectric polymer material is not limited. The materials and the preparation methods of the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 can refer to the related designs of the positive electrode layer 1112 and the negative electrode layer 1113 of the piezoelectric film 111 in the foregoing embodiments, and are not described herein again.
It is understood that the structural configuration of the speaker 2 of the present embodiment can have various designs, such as a square shape, a circular shape, a ring shape, an arc shape, a cylindrical shape, etc., and the speaker 2 can make the pushing member 21 vibrate in another direction by restricting the movement of the pushing member 21 in one direction, and the present embodiment does not limit the specific structural configuration of the speaker 2.

The matching layer 24 is fixed to the contact surface 214 of the pusher 21 for improving the sound wave transmission efficiency of the speaker 2.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may be a cell phone 100, the cell phone 100 including a speaker 1001. The speaker 1001 is mounted on the top of the cellular phone 100 and exposed to the cellular phone 100. The speaker 1001 may be used as a receiver (receiver) of the mobile phone 100, the speaker 1001 may be a bone conduction speaker or a cartilage conduction speaker, and the speaker 1001 includes a push member 1001a using a high polymer, and the push member 1001a is used to contact a user.

In use, the push member 1001a of the speaker 1001 drives the tissue around the ear canal of the user to vibrate, thereby generating a bone conduction effect or a cartilage conduction effect. The width of the avoiding groove or the avoiding hole 1005 may be 1 mm to 2 mm.
In this embodiment, the speaker 1001 realizes sound wave transmission by bone conduction or cartilage conduction, and can increase the energy ratio of sound waves transmitted to a user, and reduce the diffused energy ratio of sound waves, thereby improving the sound leakage problem. In addition, the loudspeaker 1001 adopts the high polymer as the pushing member 1001a, and the acoustic impedance of the high polymer is better matched with the acoustic impedance of the human body, so that the sound wave transmits more energy to the human body, thereby increasing the bone conduction energy or cartilage conduction energy, reducing the air radiation energy and further improving the sound leakage problem.
Wherein the end surface of the pusher 1001a remote from the housing 1002 forms a contact surface 1001b. In some embodiments, the speaker 1001 may further include a matching layer (not shown), and the matching layer is fixed on the contact surface 1001b of the push member 1001a to improve the sound wave transmission efficiency.

In some implementations, the speaker 1001 can adopt the structure of the corresponding embodiment of fig. 28A and 28B. The speaker 1001 includes a pusher 1001a, a housing 1001c, a first driver 1001d, and a second driver 1001e. The housing 1001c is fixedly connected to the housing 1002 of the cellular phone 100.

When the contact surface 1001b of the pushing member 1001a protrudes relative to the display 1003 and the pushing member 1001a is pressed to deform, the vibration direction of the contact surface 1001b of the pushing member 1001a is perpendicular to the display 1003, so that the bone or cartilage of the user is pushed to vibrate, and the user feels.
For example, the first driving portion 1001d and the second driving portion 1001e may provide driving force for piezoelectric sheets, that is, using a piezoelectric driving method. Alternatively, the first driving unit 1001d and the second driving unit 1001e may provide driving force by other driving methods, for example, moving coil driving, electromagnetic driving, ultrasonic motor driving, moving iron driving, and the like, and may convert electric energy into mechanical energy. Illustratively, the speaker 1001 may further include a matching layer (not shown) fixed to the contact surface 1001b of the push member 1001a to increase the sound wave transmission efficiency.

The damping member 1001f is used to isolate the push member 1001a of the speaker 1001 from the display 1003, so as to weaken direct transmission of force between the push member 1001a and the display 1003, thereby reducing external radiation and sound leakage of the speaker 1001.
In some embodiments, the damping member may be a damping material, such as foam, damping silicone, viscoelastic silicone, or the like. The foam may be ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foam. In other embodiments, the damping member may be a support rod, a support column, or the like to reduce the contact area, thereby reducing the transmission of energy and weakening the direct transmission of force between the pushing member 1001a and the display screen 1003. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the damping member may also employ both damping materials and structural designs to better reduce energy transmission.
