Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an electret capacitor microphone (hereinafter referred to as an "ECM") and, particularly, to an ECM capable of being assembled by an automatic assembly machine.
- A conventional ECM has a bottomed cylindrical metal casing, and a bottomed cylindrical insulator telescoped into the metal casing. A diaphragm (electret member), having a metallized foil on one surface thereof, and a backplate are disposed between a bottom of the metal casing and an opening end of the insulator with a predetermined gap between the diaphragm and the backplate. A printed circuit board is mounted on an exposed bottom surface of the cylindrical insulator. A field effect transistor (FET) for impedance conversion is disposed in a space within the cylindrical insulator. The FET has an input lead and an output lead, which are respectively connected to the backplate and an electrode on the printed circuit board.
- Sound waves from the outside of the ECM cause the diaphragm to vibrate, thereby causing changes in the capacitance between the diaphragm and the backplate. The changes in the capacitance are converted into electrical changes by the FET.
- When assembling the ECM, the backplate, the insulator, the FET and the printed circuit board are pre-assembled together into an amplifier block. The diaphragm is disposed inside the metal casing. Subsequently, the amplifier block is inserted into the metal casing, and a portion at the opening end of the metal casing is caulked, thereby completing the assembly.
- The construction of the conventional ECM is complicated throughout the apparatus, in particular, in the amplifier block. In addition, the amplifier block requires to be pre-assembled. Thus, the conventional ECM has a problem in that the apparatus is not suitable for assembly by an automatic assembly machine.
- The conventional ECM also has the following drawback. The various component parts of the ECM are fixed in place by caulking a portion of the cylindrical metal casing, and the component parts include an insulator which is generally molded from a resin. The use of a resin product is disadvantageous in terms of thermal resistance. For instance, where the output lead of the FET is connected to another printed circuit board by a solder dip or the like, the resin insulator may be collapsed or melted due to heat generated during the solder dipping. This involves the risk of the caulked portion becoming loose, resulting in the product quality being deteriorated.
- The present invention has an object to eliminate the above-described disadvantages. The present invention is particularly directed to providing an ECM which can be assembled by an automatic assembly machine.

- Referring to Fig. 1, an ECM includes a bottomed cylindrical metal casing 1 having a sound hole 1a formed in a bottom thereof, a diaphragm
clamping metal ring 2 disposed on an inner side of the bottom of the metal casing 1, a diaphragm 3 (serving as an electret member) having ametallized foil 3a on one surface thereof attached to themetal ring 2 by an adhesive or other suitable means, agap spacer 4 and abackplate 5 having a through-hole 5a located on the other surface of thediaphragm 3 through thegap spacer 4. Anair layer 10 is defined between thebackplate 5 and thediaphragm 3. - The ECM further includes a cylindrical
metal gate ring 12 supporting thebackplate 5. Themetal gate ring 12 is electrically connected with thebackplate 5 by contacting or welding to it. As shown in Fig. 2, a plurality ofrecesses 12a are formed at an end portion of themetal gate ring 12. Themetal gate ring 12 can be easily formed by, for example, rounding stamped flat sheet, as shown in Fig. 3. An insulator 11 is disposed to insulate thebackplate 5 and themetal gate ring 12 from the surroundings as well as to house therein these members so as to place them in appropriate positions. The insulator 11 is held in place by, for example, press-fitting it onto thebackplate 5 or themetal gate ring 12. - An FET 7 for impedance conversion is directly mounted on a printed
circuit board 8 and positioned within themetal gate ring 12. Aninput lead 7a of the FET 7 is interposed between therecess 12a of themetal gate ring 12 and a surface of the printedcircuit board 8 so as to allow electrical conduction through these members, and hence to be electrically connected with thebackplate 5. Anoutput lead 7b of the FET 7 is electrically connected with an electrode on the printedcircuit board 8 by asolder 8a provided by dipping. The component parts of the ECM, described above, are integrally fixed in place by caulking an opening end portion of the cylindrical metal casing 1, as indicated by reference numeral lb. Acloth 9 covers the sound hole 1a to prevent penetration of dust. Without thecloth 9, however, there would be no particular hindrance to the operation of the ECM. - Descriptions will be given of the assembly operation of the ECM. First, as shown in Fig. 4, an amplifier block is prepared in advance, which consists of a first and a
second assembly sub-blocks 21 and 22. Thefirst sub-block 21 comprises thebackplate 5, themetal gate ring 12 and the insulator 11. Thesecond assembly sub-block 20 comprises the FET 7 and the printedcircuit board 8. Into the cylindrical metal casing 1 with thecloth 9 attached thereto, themetal ring 2 to which thediaphragm 3 is partially fixed, thegap spacer 4, thefirst assembly sub-block 21, and thesecond assembly sub-block 20 are successively inserted. Thereafter, an end portion lb of the cylindrical metal casing 1 is caulked, thereby completing the assembly. - The
air layer 10 has a capacitance of about several pF to 10s pF. Sound waves from the outside of the ECM pass through the sound hole 1a, and cause thediaphragm 3 to vibrate, thereby causing slight changes in the above capacitance. The changes in the capacitance are transformed by means of the FET 7 to changes in an electrical output. - This embodiment has an excellent advantage in that the entire apparatus can be assembled by an automatic assembly machine, the advantage being helped by the very simple constructions of the
individual assembly sub-blocks - In contrast, the conventional ECM (shown in Fig. 8) is assembled in the manner shown in Fig. 9. A
backplate 5, aninsulator 6, an FET 7 and a printedcircuit board 8 are previously assembled together into an amplifier block. Thereafter, ametal ring 2 to which adiaphragm 3 is attached, agap spacer 4, and the amplifier block are successively inserted into a cylindrical metal casing 1 with acloth 9 attached thereto. Subsequently, an end portion 1b of the cylindrical metal casing 1 is caulked, thereby assembling the components into an integral construction. - In the conventional ECM, the amplifier block is complicated, and further required to be pre-assembled. Thus, the construction of the conventional ECM is not suitable for performing a fully automatized assembly operation.
- In addition, since the components are settled inside the cylindrical metal casing 1 by the caulked portion lb in cooperation with the interposed
insulator 6, heat caused during solder dipping or the like may cause theinsulator 6 to be collapsed or melted. This involves the risk of the caulked portion lb becoming loose, resulting in a deterioration in the product quality. - Referring to Fig. 5, in a second embodiment of the present invention, a
metal gate ring 13 is, as shown in Fig. 6, an annular metal gate ring having no recess. The second embodiment further includes a dual-lead type FET 14 and a printedcircuit board 15 having patterns on both surfaces thereof. - In the above construction of the second embodiment, an input lead 14a of the
FET 14 is connected with an inner printedcircuit pattern 15c by soldering or the like, and connected with themetal gate ring 13 via the inner printedcircuit pattern 15c. Anoutput lead 14b of theFET 14 is connected with another inner printedcircuit pattern 15d by soldering, and connected with an outer printedcircuit pattern 15e via the inner printedcircuit pattern 15d, a throughhole 15b and asoldered portion 15a. The solderedportion 15a also serves to close the throughhole 15b. TheFET 14 is fixed to the printedcircuit board 15 by an adhesive 16. The adhesive 16 may be also used to close the throughhole 15b, instead of the solderedportion 15a. - With the apparatus according to the second embodiment, assembly can be performed in a manner similar to that in the first embodiment, and operation and advantages similar to those of the first embodiment are provided.
- Referring to Fig. 7, a third embodiment of the present invention is distinguished in that a
metal pin lead 17 with a flange passes through a throughhole 15b of a printedcircuit board 15. Themetal pin lead 17 is connected with an outer printedcircuit pattern 15e via a solderedportion 15a. Thus, the third embodiment constitutes an ECM known as a legged type ECM. - The apparatus according to the third embodiment also enables assembly similar to those in the first and the second embodiments, and provides similar operation and advantages.
