Abstract

A magnetic circuit for a speaker having a yoke (1,15) has a pole (3,16) formed on the yoke base (2,17), an annular magnet (4,19) mounted on the yoke base (2,17), and a top plate (5,18) mounted on the magnet (4,19). The periphery of the magnet (4,19) has an outwardly curved sectional shape. Peripheries of the yoke base (2,17) and the top plate (5,18) have outwardly or inwardly curved sectional shapes (2a,5a,17a,18a), respectively.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a magnetic circuit for a speaker used in an audio system.
  • Fig. 20 shows a widely used cone speaker. The speaker comprises a yoke 51 having a yoke base 53 and a cylindrical pole 52 formed on the yoke base 53, an annular top plate 54, and a magnet 55 disposed between the yoke base 53 and the top plate 54. A voice coil 56 is supported by a damper 60 and disposed in a magnetic gap G between the pole 52 and the top plate 54 so as to be movable in the direction shown by arrows a and b. A frame 57 is secured to the plate 54, and a diaphragm 59 is provided between an edge 58 of the frame 57 and the voice coil 56. Reference numeral 61 designates a terminal and 62 is a lead.
  • Referring to Fig. 21, the magnetic circuit is formed by the yoke 51, magnet 55 and plate 54, each of which has a rectangular cross section. Consequently, the necessary magnetic efficiency of magnetic flux φD in the gap G is reduced by leakages of magnetic fluxes q)A, φB and q)C.
  • Furthermore, no effective measures is taken to prevent any leakage of magnetic flux. Although the periphery of the magnet 55 serves as a magnetic guard against the magnetic flux q)A, upper and lower corners of the magnet have a small guarding effect.
  • Japanese Utility Model Publication 46-8272 discloses a magnetic circuit for a speaker intended to prevent the reduction of the magnetic efficiency. Fig. 22 shows the magnetic circuit disclosed in the publication. The yoke base 53 has a tapered underside 64 which serves to reduce the leakage of the magnetic flux φA and q)B. However, the tapered yoke base 64 has only a small effect to increase the magnetic efficiency at the gap G.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic circuit for a speaker which may increase its magnetic efficiency, thereby improving tone quality of the speaker.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic circuit which is light in weight and may be manufactured at low cost.

At least one of the yoke base, pole and top plate has a periphery having a non-linear sectional shape.
  • The non-linear sectional shape is an outwardly curved sectional shape or an inwardly curved sectional shape.
  • In an aspect of the invention, the magnet has a periphery having an outwardly curved sectional shape.
  • The magnet, yoke base and top plate may have peripheries having outwardly curved sectional shapes respectively.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Referring to Fig. 1, the magnetic circuit according to the present invention comprises a yoke 1 having a yoke base 2 and a cylindrical pole 3 having an aperture 3a, an annular magnet 4 mounted on the yoke base 2, and an annular top plate 5. The magnet 4 is secured to the yoke base 2 with adhesive, and the top plate 5 is also secured to the magnet with adhesive. The magnetic circuit has a compressed spherical periphery. Namely, the yoke base 2 has a convex periphery 2a and the top plate 5 also has a convex periphery 5a, and the periphery 4a of the magnet 4 has an outwardly curved sectional shape.
  • In the magnetic circuit shown is Fig. 2, a solid pole 6 is formed on the yoke base 2. The yoke base 2 of the third embodiment shown in Fig. 3 has an annular recess 7 on the inside wall thereof, for allowing large axial movement of the voice coil, which is designed to be used for the woofer. A pole piece 8 is mounted on the pole 3.
  • As shown in Fig. 4, the periphery 4a of the magnet 4 may have a sectional shape defined by straight lines. Namely, a periphery 11 a has a triangle sectional shape, and peripheries 11 b and 11 c have trapezoidal sectional shapes, respectively. Although the yoke base 2 and the top plate 5 have rectangular sectional shapes, they may have curved sectional shapes as shown in Fig. 1.
  • Referring to Fig. 5a showing lines of magnetic force generated in the magnetic circuit of Fig. 1, most of magnetic lines g1 of force generated from the north pole of the magnet 4 enter in the plate 5 and are led to the gap G as magnetic flux g2. Magnetic flux g3 in the gap G is induced in the pole 3 and the yoke base 2 as magnetic flux g4 and led to the south pole of the magnet 4.
  • Since the periphery of the magnet has an outwardly curved sectional shape, the magnetic flux g1 in the magnet 4 is led to the plate 5 along the periphery. Consequently, magnetic flux density is high in the gap G as indicated by the equal magnetic flux density contours L1-L4. On the other hand, leakages q)1 and q)2 of magnetic flux outside the magnet 4, plate 5 and yoke 2 are low in density.
  • To the contrary, the conventional magnetic circuit has a low magnetic flux density in the gap G and a large leakage φ1 and q)2 of magnetic flux as shown in Fig. 5b.
  • In a magnetic circuit according to the first embodiment having a magnet radius of 65 mm, a maximum magnetic flux density in the gap G is 1,312 tesla. In the conventional magnetic circuit of Fig. 21 having the same magnetic radius as the first embodiment, a maximum magnetic flux density in the gap G is 1,309 tesla, because of a large amount of the leakage φA and the leakage φC of the magnetic flux from the plate 54 to the pole 52.
  • In addition, the weight of the magnetic circuit of the present invention is reduced by 20 % of the weight of the conventional magnetic circuit, since edges of the yoke base 2, magnet 4 and plate 5 are rounded. Accordingly, expensive magnetic material is reduced in quantity to lower the manufacturing cost thereof. Furthermore, the magnetic flux density in the magnet 4 is more equalized, so that reduction of magnetization at low temperature is prevented.
  • Although each of the peripheries of the magnetic circuits of Figs. 1 to 3 has a continuously curved sectional shape, a discontinuous periphery may be employed as shown in Figs. 6, 7a and 7b.
  • Each of the magnetic circuit of Figs. 1 to 4 is a solid of revolution about a center line t. However, another magnetic circuit having a square shape or ellipse shape in plan view may be used in embodying the present invention, too.
  • Referring to Fig. 8 showing the fifth embodiment, the periphery of a yoke base 17 of yoke 15 has a tapered surface 17a, and a top plate 18 has a tapered surface 18a. A solid pole 16 is formed on the yoke 15. Each of the tapered surfaces 17a and 18a is inwardly curved.
  • Since the outer periphery of the tapered surface 17a (18a), which has a circular shape in section, has a small thickness, leakage φB from the circular periphery can be prevented or reduced to a very small amount.
  • Fig. 9 shows a most preferable tapered surface. The periphery of each of the yoke base 17 and the top plate has no circular sectional shape. Namely, the inwardly curved surface converges on the surface of a magnet 19.
  • The magnetic flux and dimension of the magnetic circuit of Fig. 9 will be described with reference to Fig. 10. In the figure, X1 designates the outer radius of the magnet 19, X2 represents the inner radius, X3 the radius of the pole 16. Thickness t of the yoke base 17 at which inner magnetic flux density Bi becomes constant will be obtained as described hereinafter. Here it is assumed that all of the magnetic flux in the magnet 19 flows in the yoke 15, hence there is no leakages φA and q)B.

  • When X2≦X≦X1,

    (c1 and c2 are constants).
  • Consequently, the tapered portion of the yoke base becomes an inwardly curved sectional shape.
  • When X3≦X≦X2,
  • Figure imgb0012
  • Therefore, in this case also, the tapered portion becomes inwardly curved.
  • The above values are obtained on the assumption that the leakage of the magnetic flux q)A does not exist. Actually a part of the flux does not pass through the pole 16 because of the leakage q)A. Therefore, the value of the increasing rate of the thickness t is smaller than the above equations. However, the conditions for forming an inwardly curved sectional shape do not change. This is confirmed by numerical calculation, for example by the finite element method.
  • The above theory is also applied to the tapered portion of the plate 18.
  • Fig. 11 shows a distribution of the magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit of Fig. 9. The same references as in Fig. 5a are used. From the figure, it will be understood that a high density of magnetic flux is obtained in the gap G.
  • Fig. 12 shows magnetic flux densities and weight of prior arts 1 and 2 and the present invention. In the table, Bg represents the averaged magnetic flux density in the gap G φg is the magnetic flux in the gap, and φm is a total magnetic flux in the magnet. It will be seen that the magnetic flux density of the present invention is higher than in the prior arts 1 and 2 and the magnetic circuit of the present invention is lighter than the prior arts in weight.
  • The magnetic circuit of Fig. 13 has a recess 16a in the underside of the pole 16 in order to reduce the weight thereof.
  • In the seventh embodiment shown in Fig. 14, an additional recess 16b is formed in the upperside of the pole 16 so as to further reduce the weight. Since each of the recesses 16a and 16b has a curved inner surface, leakage of magnetic flux therefrom can be reduced.
  • The magnetic circuit of Fig. 15 has a perforation 16c in the pole 16.
  • The magnet 19 of the magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 16 has an outwardly curved sectional shape similar to the first embodiment of Fig. 1.
  • Figs. 17 to 19 show various sectional shapes of the magnet circuit.
  • While the presently preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that this disclosure is for the purpose of illustration and that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
