Description
- The present invention relates to a miniature electromagnetic sounding device applicable to, for example, a portable radio receiver for a radio paging system.
- A paging receiver which is a typical example of portable radio apparatuses known in the art receives a signal of a predetermined format from a central station. If the signal received is identical with a code which is assigned to the paging receiver, the receiver produces sound to alert the user to the reception of a call. Since this kind of receiver is usually carried in the user's breast pocket or the like, its overall configuration should preferably be as miniature as a cigarette lighter or the like. Therefore, a sounding device installed in such a portable receiver has to be designed extremely small size. Other prerequisites with a sounding device for this kind of application are that it produces an acoustic output above a certain reference level which overcomes possible noisy environment, and that it sufficiently withstands shocks and impacts which will be applied when it is let fall while being carried. However, prior art paging receivers such as one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication (Kokai) No. 57-125100 have substantial overall thickness due to their inherent structures. Should they be reduced in thickness, they would fail to achieve the sufficient acoustic output.
- In the specification of United States Patent No. 4,413,253, there is described a sounder in which a diaphragm closes one end of a tuned chamber. The other end of the chamber is closed by a plate through which a hollow tube extends at right angles to the plane of the diaphragm. By varying the length and diameter of the tube the resonant frequency of the chamber may be altered. It is an object of the present invention to provide a thin and miniature electromagnetic sounding device.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a generally improved electromagnetic sounding device.
- According to the present invention, an electromagnetic sounding device is as claimed in
claim 1. - The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings in which:
- Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation showing a prior art electromagnetic sounding device;
- Fig. 2A is a plot representative of a sound pressure characteristic particular to the prior art sounding device;
- Fig. 2B is a view similar to Fig. 2A, showing a sound pressure characteristic achievable with the present invention;
- Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of an electromagnetic sounding device embodying the present invention;
- Fig. 4 is a plan view of the sounding device of Fig. 3;
- Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional side elevation of the sounding device as shown in Fig. 3; and
- Fig. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the sounding device as shown in Fig. 3.
- To better understand the present invention, a brief reference will be made to a prior art electromagnetic sounding device which is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication (Kokai) No. 57-125100. As shown in Fig. 1, the prior
art sounding device 10 includes a magnetic force generating section which is made up of abase 12 having acenter pole 14, and anannular coil 16 and apermanent magnet 18 which are concentrically arranged around thecenter pole 14. The soundingdevice 10 also includes a vibrating section defined above the magnetic force generating section and made up of a movable ironpiece type vibrator 20 and asupport frame 22 which supports thevibrator 20. Thevibrator 20 is caused to vibrate by a static magnetic force which is exerted by thepermanent magnet 18. Specifically, thevibrator 20 is constituted by aflexible diaphragm 20a and a magnetic disk 20b fixed to thediaphragm 20a by spot welding. Afilm 24 made of synthetic resin is disposed above thevibrator 20 and supported by the rim of aframe 22. Afirst presser member 26 is located above thefilm 24 and also supported by the rim of theframe 22, themember 26 being notched to havewindows 26a. Disposed above thefirst presser member 26 is asecond presser member 28 which is provided with openings 28a. All the structural elements mentioned so far are accommodated in acasing 30 which is formed with awindow 30a. Aterminal plate 32 constitutes the bottom of thecasing 30. Leads for feeding signal voltage to thecoil 16 are connected to theterminal plate 32. - When signal voltage is applied to the
coil 16 via theterminal plate 32, thevibrator 20, i.e.,diaphragm 20a is caused into vibration to produce a sound pressure corresponding to the signal voltage. The sound pressure is radiated to the outside as an acoustic output by way of the openings 28a of thesecond presser member 28 and thewindow 30a of thecasing 30. Fig. 2A shows a sound pressure characteristic particular to the priorart sounding device 10 as actually measured when the input signal supplied was a rectangular wave of 1.4ρ₋ρ and the distance from a microphone was 10 centimeters. In Fig. 2A, the ordinate and the abscissa indicate respectively the acoustic output P₀ (dB) and the resonance frequency f₀ (kHz) of thediaphragm 20a. - As shown in Fig. 1, the prior
art sounding device 10 use the twopresser members casing 30 has to be provided with a substantial thickness, or height, H although its width L is not questionable. This obstructs the miniaturization of thedevice 10. In this connection, a magnetic sounding device actually marketed with the above-described structure has a height H of 6 millimeters and a width L of 10 millimeters. - Referring to Figs. 3 to 5, an electromagnetic sounding device in accordance with the present invention is shown and generally designated by the
reference numeral 40. As shown, thedevice 40 includes abase 42 which serves as a base pole. A cylindrical center pole 44 is studded on a central part of thebase 42. Anannular coil 46 is fit over the center pole 44 while apermanent ring magnet 48 is located to surround theannular coil 46. The upper ends of the center pole 44 andring magnet 48 are substantially coplanar with each other. Thebase pole 42, center pole 44,coil 46, andring magnet 48 constitute a magnetic force generating section. Asupport frame 50 is composed of synthetic resin or like material and disposed at the circumferential edge portion of thebase pole 42. The upper end of thesupport frame 50 is provided with an annular knife edge configuration as indicated by 50a. A thinflexible diaphragm 52 is supported on theknife edge 50a of thesupport frame 50. Amagnetic disk 54 is coaxially positioned on the upper surface of thediaphragm 52 and fixed at itscentral portion 56 to the latter by spot welding, whereby thediaphragm 52 is provided with permeability. Thediaphragm 52 andmagnetic disk 54 in combination constitute a vibrating section. The edge portion of thediaphragm 52 rests on and is magnetically retained on theknife edge 50a of thesupport frame 50 by the acctraction of the magnetic force generating section, while being regulated in deformation by that force. - Defined between the underside of the
diaphragm 52 and the coplanar upper ends of the center pole 44 andring magnet 48 is a narrow air gapmagnetic field 58. A DC magnetic flux 0̸m created by thering magnet 48 extends throughout thebase pole 42 and center pole 44, as represented by a dash-and-dot line in Fig. 3. In this condition, the edge portion of thediaphragm 52 is retained on and pressed against theknife edge 50a. Acasing 60 made of synthetic resin or the like is engaged with and covers thesupport frame 50 while defining anarrow air gap 62 between its inner surface and the upper surface of thediaphragm 52. As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, a plurality of (usually four or so)short lugs 64 and a plurality ofshoulders 66 each being contiguous with a respective one of thelugs 64 are provided on the inner surface of thecasing 60 and arranged at equally spaced locations along the circumference of the thecasing 60. Specifically, eachlug 64 extends downward slightly beyond the general plane of thediaphragm 52 as viewed in Fig. 3. An air gap 66a is defined between thelugs 64 and the periphery of thediaphragm 52 while an air gap 66b is defined between thelugs 64 and the circumferential wall of thecasing 60, the air gaps 66a and 66b serving to minimize obstruction to the propagation of sound. On the other hand, eachshoulder 66 extends radially inwardly beyond the edge of thediaphragm 52 and is dimensioned short enough to define an adequate air gap 66c in cooperation with thediaphragm 52. Theshoulders 66 and thediaphragm 52 usually remain spaced from each other. A rectangularelongate window 68 is formed through the circumferential wall of thecasing 60 so that an acoustic output P₀ may be propagated therethrough to the outside. A piece ofcloth 70 is attached to thecasing 60 to cover thewindow 68, preventing dust and other impurities from entering thecasing 60. Aterminal plate 74 is located on the bottom of thebase 42 andframe 50. - Fig. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the sounding device as mentioned above.
- In operation, signal voltage e is applied to the
annular coil 46 to cause current i to flow, as shown in Fig. 3. Then, the DC magnetic flux Øm from the ring magnet 48 (indicated by a dash-and-dot line in Fig. 3) and the magnetic flux Øs which is developed by the voltage e (indicated by a dashed line in Fig. 3) are superposed to generate a vibromotive force in thediaphragm 52. As a result, thediaphragm 52 vibrates to develop a sound pressure P₁ in theair gap 62. This sound pressure P₁ is propagated radially into aspace 72 which is defined around thediaphragm 52. Further, the sound pressure P₁ is guided along the periphery of thediaphragm 52 to thewindow 68 of thecasing 60, as indicated by arrows in Fig. 4. Consequently, an acoustic output P₀ is intensely radiated to the outside via thewindow 68. - As shown and described, the
device 40 has thewindow 68 which is formed through the circumferential wall of thecasing 60. Thedevice 40 therefore can be provided with a miniature and thin configuration. For example, assuming that the width l of thedevice 40 is substantially the same as the width L of theprior art device 10, i.e., 10 centimeters, the thickness or height h of thedevice 40 is as small as 2 millimeters which is one-third of the thickness H of 6 millimeters of thedevice 10. In addition, since the sound pressure P₁ developed in theair gap 62 is readily propagated to thewindow 68 by way of thecircumferential space 72 as indicated by arrows in Fig. 4, the propagation loss of sound pressure P₁ in the path defined within thecasing 60 is small enough to allow the acoustic output P₀ to be intensely radiated to the outside. - Furthermore, the
diaphragm 52 is laid on and supported by theknife edge 50a along its peripheral portion due to the magnetic force of thering magnet 48 and, therefore, it is entirely free from restraint. This extremely increases Q of the vibration system to thereby further improve conversion sensitivity. Fig. 2B shows a curve representative of a sound pressure characteristic of thedevice 40 which was measured under the same conditions as theprior art device 10. As shown, thedevice 10 achieves an acoustic output which is comparable with that of theprior art device 10, despite the miniature and thin configuration. Specifically, the acoustic output P₀ attainable with thedevice 10 is higher than 80 dB or, rather, close to 90 dB. - When an impact whose magnitude is greater than 5G is applied to the
device 40 such as when it is let fall, lateral displacement and vertical displacement of the diaphragm are effectively eliminated by thelugs 64 and theshoulders 66, respectively. Hence, thedevice 40 is operable with stability overcoming such a magnitude of impact. It is to be noted that thelugs 66 are omissible if theair gap 62 is relatively narrow. - In summary, it will be seen that the present invention provides an electromagnetic sounding device which is miniature, thin, and operable efficiently and stably even when a substantial magnitude of impact is applied thereto from the outside.
- Various modifications will become possible for those skilled in the art after receiving the teachings of the present disclosure without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
