Description

Vehicle-mounted audio system and vehicle

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, concretely relates to on-vehicle audio system and vehicle.

Background

Speaker arrays with multiple speakers are often used for three-dimensional sound reproduction in vehicles, and conventional speaker arrays require more wiring work. When the speaker is excited to vibrate by the excitation signal of the power amplifier, even if the excitation signal is stopped, the vibration of the speaker is not immediately stopped, but gradually attenuated until stopped, which may cause interference with the following sound excitation signal. Meanwhile, in the process, the voice coil of the loudspeaker cuts magnetic lines of force, so that the loudspeaker itself becomes a power supply, the voice coil, the power amplifier and the connected audio line form a loop to generate current, the force generated by the current under the action of the magnetic field acts on the voice coil, and the process of damping the vibration of the voice coil is slowed (namely damping is generated). Thus, the smaller the impedance at the output of the power amplifier, the shorter the attenuation process of the speaker, and the less distortion the human subjectively experiences when listening to sound. In practical applications, for the speaker, the smaller the impedance of the power amplifier and the audio line, the greater the energy consumption, and the better the damping effect. The impedance of the audio line is related to the material, the length and the sectional area of the audio line, wherein the impedance of the audio line is positively related to the length and negatively related to the impedance coefficient of the material of the sectional area audio line.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3 and 5, the car audio system a includes the host 100, the audio processing circuit 120 and the first power amplifier 130 are disposed in the host 100, and the second power amplifier 200 is disposed outside the host 100. Alternatively, the host 100 may be partially or entirely integrated in the vehicle ECU. In one embodiment, the host 100 includes a housing, the audio processing circuit 120 and the first power amplifier 130 are disposed within the housing, and the second power amplifier 200 is disposed outside the housing. When the car audio system a includes the control circuit 110, the control circuit 110 may also be provided in the housing. The housing may be a separate housing for enclosing the control circuit 110, the audio processing circuit 120, and the first power amplifier 130, or may be a housing common to other circuits or devices of the IVI system (e.g., a housing common to a vehicle ECU).

The host 100 may have a plurality of connection ports provided on the housing to facilitate signal connection of the host 100 to the second power amplifier 200 and/or the

respective speakers

410, 420, 430 through the audio line 500. The connection port may be a connector that allows the audio cable 500 to be connected by plugging, which may facilitate the arrangement and installation of the car audio system a on the vehicle main body 300; the connection port may be a port that is connected to the audio line 500 in a non-detachable manner, so as to ensure stability of signal transmission.

In some embodiments, the plurality of connection ports of the host 100 includes at least one first connection port, the first connection port is connected with the corresponding output channel of the first power amplifier 130, and the one or

more speakers

410, 420, 430 of the speaker array 400 may be connected with the first connection port using the audio line 500, thereby enabling connection with the first power amplifier 130.

In some embodiments, the plurality of connection ports of host 100 further includes at least one second connection port, the second connection port being connected to a second output of audio processing circuit 120. The input of the second power amplifier 200 may be connected to the second connection port using the audio line 500, so as to realize the connection between the second power amplifier 200 and the second output of the audio processing circuit 120.

The main unit 100 and the second power amplifier 200 may be disposed at different positions of the vehicle body 300, respectively. For example, in one embodiment, the main unit 100 is disposed at the front of the vehicle and in front of the passenger compartment (e.g., may be disposed in the instrument panel of the vehicle body 300), and the second power amplifier 200 is disposed at the rear of the vehicle and behind the passenger compartment (e.g., may be disposed at the back panel of the vehicle body 300). Therefore, under the condition that the internal space of the host 100 is limited or the heat dissipation capacity is limited, the total output channel number of the

power amplifiers

130 and 200 of the vehicle-mounted audio system a can be increased by arranging the second power amplifier 200, and

more speakers

410, 420 and 430 can be driven, so that the speaker array 400 can realize better sound effect. In the present application, the "front" is the same as the forward direction of the vehicle, and the "rear" is the same as the backward direction of the vehicle.

In some embodiments, the number of output channels of the second power amplifier 200 is greater than the number of output channels of the first power amplifier 130. Since the more heat is generated by the

power amplifiers

130, 200 as the number of channels increases, the higher the requirements for heat dissipation conditions are accordingly. Meanwhile, since the internal space of the main body 100 is limited and other electrical components are often disposed around the location where the first power amplifier 130 is installed, the heat dissipation condition is relatively weak. And the second power amplifier 200 is disposed outside the main unit 100, and may be installed at the rear portion of the vehicle body 300 (e.g., at the side rear portion of the vehicle body 300) or other locations with a large space, so as to have a good heat dissipation condition. Therefore, the second power amplifier 200 has more output channels, and the first power amplifier 130 has relatively fewer output channels, so that the overall driving sound-producing effect of the speaker array 400 is ensured, the heat dissipation of the first power amplifier 130 and even the entire host 100 is facilitated, and the working stability of the car audio system a and the speaker array 400 is ensured. For example, taking a 12-output-channel car audio system as an example, the first power amplifier 130 may set 5 output channels, and the second power amplifier 130 may set 7 output channels.

It is understood that the number of output channels of the first power amplifier 130 may be equal to or greater than the number of output channels of the second power amplifier 200 in the case where the first power amplifier 130 and/or the host 100 has good heat dissipation conditions or the number of

speakers

410, 420, 430 in the speaker array 400 is small.

The speaker array 400 includes at least one first speaker 410 and at least one second speaker 420. The first speaker 410 is connected to a corresponding first output channel of the first power amplifier 130, and the second speaker 420 is connected to a corresponding second output channel of the second power amplifier 200.

Referring to fig. 4 and 6, the first speaker 410 and the second speaker 420 are provided at different positions in the vehicle body 300. In some embodiments, the distance between the at least one first speaker 410 and the host 100 is less than the distance between the at least one first speaker and the second power amplifier 200. Therefore, when the first speaker 410 is connected to the first power amplifier 130 of the host 100, the length of the audio line 500 between the first speaker 410 and the host 100 can be shortened, so that the extra impedance caused by the increase of the length of the audio line 500 can be reduced, and the first speaker 410 has better sound effect.

In some embodiments, the distance between the at least one second speaker 420 and the second power amplifier 200 is less than the distance to the host 100. Therefore, when the second speaker 420 is connected to the second power amplifier 200, the length of the audio line 500 between the second speaker 420 and the second power amplifier 200 can be shortened, so that the extra impedance caused by the increase of the length of the audio line 500 can be reduced, and the second speaker 420 has better sound effect.

Preferably, the distance between the first speaker 410 and the host 100 is smaller than the distance between the first speaker and the second power amplifier 200, and the distance between the second speaker 420 and the second power amplifier 200 is smaller than the distance between the first speaker and the host 100. That is, one or

more speakers

410, 420, 430 of the speaker array 400 near the host 100 may be connected to the first power amplifier 130 as a first speaker 410, and one or

more speakers

410, 420, 430 of the speaker array 400 other than the first speaker 410 and near the second power amplifier 200 may be connected to the second power amplifier 200 as a second speaker 420.

By grouping the plurality of

speakers

410, 420, 430 in the speaker array 400 according to the distance between the first power amplifier 130 and the second power amplifier 200 and connecting the speakers with the

power amplifier

130 or 200 having a relatively short distance, the audio line 500 connecting the first speaker 410 and the second speaker 420 with the

corresponding power amplifier

130 or 200 can be effectively ensured to be short, the extra impedance caused by the increase of the length of the audio line 500 can be reduced, so that the

speakers

410, 420, 430 arranged at different positions of the vehicle body 300 can be ensured to have a better damping effect, and the overall sound effect of the speaker array 400 can be ensured. Simultaneously, compare with the sectional area that increases audio line 500 or the audio line 500 that makes using the material that the resistivity is less, the embodiment of the utility model provides a mode through shortening audio line 500 length reduces audio line 500 impedance, is favorable to reduce cost.

Referring to fig. 4 and 6, in one application scenario, two rows of seats 320, a front row of seats 320 and a rear row of seats 320, are provided in the passenger compartment. The vehicle body 300 has two B-pillars 310, the two B-pillars 310 being oppositely disposed on left and right sides of the vehicle body 300, and the front-row seat 320 and the rear-row seat 320 being disposed substantially in front of and behind the B-pillars 310, respectively. The vehicle body 300 can be roughly divided into front and rear parts by using the position of the B-pillar 310 as a boundary line, wherein the region in front of the B-pillar 310 is the front part of the vehicle body 300, and the regions behind the B-pillar 310 and the B-pillar 310 are the rear parts of the vehicle body 300. In one embodiment, the host 100 and the first speaker 410 are disposed in front of the B-pillar 310, and the second power amplifier 200 and the second speaker 420 are disposed on the B-pillar 310 or behind the B-pillar 310 to facilitate routing of the audio line 500 and to ensure that each

speaker

410, 420, 430 in the speaker array 400 can be connected to the

corresponding power amplifier

130 or 200 in a relatively short wiring. For example, the first speaker 410 may be provided at the front door 330 of the vehicle body 300 and in front of the front seat 320 (e.g., on an instrument desk), and the second speaker may be provided at the rear door 340 of the vehicle body 300, in the rear of the rear seat 320, and in a rear position of other passenger compartments. Of course, when the passenger compartment is long and includes two or more rows of seats 320, other configurations of the vehicle body 300 may be used as a basis for grouping the plurality of

speakers

410, 420, 430 in the speaker array 400.

The second power amplifier 200 may be one or more. When there are a plurality of second power amplifiers 200, the plurality of second power amplifiers 200 may be disposed at different positions of the vehicle body 300 at intervals, and each second power amplifier 200 may be connected to a corresponding one or

more speakers

410, 420, and 430, respectively. Preferably, each second power amplifier 200 may be connected to one or

more speakers

410, 420, 430 with a shorter distance according to the distance between each second power amplifier 200 and the plurality of

speakers

410, 420, 430, so that the length of the audio line 500 between the second power amplifier 200 and the

speakers

410, 420, 430 may be shortened, thereby reducing the impedance of the audio line 500 and enabling the

speakers

410, 420, 430 to have a better sound-producing effect. For example, the passenger compartment may be divided into three regions of a front portion, a left rear portion, and a right rear portion, the first power amplifier 130 and the first speaker 410 being disposed corresponding to the front portion of the passenger compartment; the two second power amplifiers 200 are provided, and the two second power amplifiers 200 are respectively provided corresponding to the left and right rear portions of the passenger compartment and are respectively connected to the

speakers

410, 420, 430 in the corresponding areas.

In order to enable the speaker array 400 to create a better sound field and to ensure that the passengers can hear better sound effects at various locations within the passenger compartment, a larger number of

speakers

410, 420, 430 may be generally arranged and/or a plurality of different types of

speakers

410, 420, 430 (e.g., tweeters, woofers, and surround speakers) may be provided within a range of several predetermined regions of the vehicle body 300. Thus, the

respective power amplifiers

130, 200 are required to provide the corresponding output channels to drive the

speakers

410, 420, 430, and the total output channels of the first power amplifier 130 and the second power amplifier 200 are larger in number.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the second power amplifier 200 further has at least one third output channel, and the speaker array 400 further includes a third speaker 430, the third speaker 430 being connected to the corresponding third output channel. In one embodiment, the second power amplifier 200 is disposed on the B-pillar 310 or behind the B-pillar 310, and the third speaker 430 is disposed in front of the B-pillar 310. In another embodiment, the third speaker 430 is spaced from the second power amplifier 200 by a distance greater than the first power amplifier 130. Since the second power amplifier 200 is disposed outside the main unit 100, which is advantageous for better heat dissipation, in a case where a greater number of

speakers

410, 420, and 430 are disposed in a certain region of the passenger compartment, some of the

speakers

410, 420, and 430 disposed in the region or relatively distant from the second power amplifier 200 may be connected to the second power amplifier 200, which is advantageous for ensuring the overall heat dissipation effect and operation stability of the car audio system a.

Alternatively, the speaker (e.g., the first speaker 410) closest to the first power amplifier 130 and/or having the shortest routing length of the audio line 500 with the first power amplifier 130 may be connected to the first power amplifier 130, and the remaining

speakers

420, 430 may be connected to the second power amplifier 200, depending on the number of output channels of the first power amplifier 130; that is, the distance between the third speaker 430 and the second power amplifier 200 is smaller than the distance between the first speaker 410 and the second power amplifier 200. Alternatively, in the case where the output channel of the first power amplifier 130 is insufficient to drive all the

speakers

410, 420, and 430 having a short wiring distance, some of the

speakers

410, 420, and 430 having relatively low requirements for sound emission quality may be connected as the third speaker 430 to the third output channel of the second power amplifier 200. Therefore, a better balance can be achieved between the two effects of ensuring the heat dissipation and ensuring the sound quality of the

speakers

410, 420 and 430.

Fig. 7 is a schematic view of a vehicle of a comparative embodiment. Referring to fig. 7, in this comparative embodiment, the car audio system a includes only one external power amplifier 610 provided at the rear of the vehicle body 600. The number and distribution positions of the

speakers

620a, 620b in the speaker array of the vehicle are the same as in fig. 6. As can be seen from comparing fig. 6 and 7, the audio line 500 between the first speaker 410 and the corresponding power amplifier (i.e., the first power amplifier 130) of the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in fig. 6 is shorter than the audio line 640 between the front speakers 620a and 620B disposed in front of the B-pillar 630 and the rear power amplifier 630 of the comparative embodiment shown in fig. 7. Taking one speaker provided at the meter desk in the front of the

vehicle body

300, 600 as an example, in the same vehicle model, the length of the audio line 640 between the front speaker 620a and the rear power amplifier 630 of the comparative example is about 5 meters, while the length of the audio line 500 between the first speaker 410 and the first power amplifier 130 at the corresponding position in fig. 6 is about 0.5 meters, and the lengths of the audio lines of the two ways are different by about 4.5 meters, the sound emission effects of the corresponding

speakers

620a and 410 will be greatly different. Therefore, the utility model discloses technical scheme can shorten the line distance of walking of speaker effectively, reduces the impedance of audio line for speaker array 400 can have better damping effect and sound production effect.
