Description
- The present invention relates to a structure for supporting a vibrating system of a loudspeaker, and more particularly to a supporting structure for a voice coil bobbin having a voice coil wound thereon for vibrating a diaphragm by the magnetic reaction between the voice coil and a magnet.
- In a loudspeaker for a car stereo, the place for disposing the loudspeaker is limited to a small space so that it is desired to have a loudspeaker which has a small thickness.
- Japanese Patent Publication 55-42559 discloses a loudspeaker structure which is designed with a reduced thickness. Fig. 20 shows the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker has a
center pole 2 formed on a yoke and anannular magnet 1, thereby forming a magnetic circuit. Avoice coil bobbin 4 provided with avoice coil 3 thereon is disposed in a magnetic gap formed between thecenter pole 2 and themagnet 1. An inner edge of adiaphragm 5 is secured to thevoice coil bobbin 4 at the outer periphery thereof. On the inner periphery of thevoice coil bobbin 4, abearing 6 is provided and slidably mounted along the outer periphery of thecenter pole 2. Thus, in such a loudspeaker, a damper is omitted which is conventionally provided for supporting thecoil bobbin 4. - When supplied with an audio current, the
voice coil 3 generates a magnetic force, which moves thevoice coil bobbin 4 itself in the axial direction. Thediaphragm 5 is thus caused to vibrate to produce sound waves. Thevoice coil bobbin 4 is guided along thecenter pole 2 through thebearing 6 so that the axial movement of the coil bobbin is stabilized. - A loudspeaker having such a structure is advantageous in that the thickness of the loudspeaker is reduced because of the elimination of a damper. However, the contact area between the
bearing 6 and thecenter pole 2 is considerably large. Hence, when reciprocating on thecenter pole 2, thebearing 6 makes rubbing noises, causing a deterioration of quality of sound. - An object of the present invention is to provide a loudspeaker which has a structure with a small thickness and without deteriorating the sound quality of the loudspeaker.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a structure for supporting a vibrating system of a loudspeaker having a yoke base, a center pole formed on the yoke base, an annular magnet mounted on the yoke base, and an annular plate mounted on the magnet so as to form a gap between an inside wall thereof and an outer wall of the center pole.
- The structure comprises a cap made of resin, having a cylindrical portion, and securely mounted on a top of the center pole so that the cylindrical portion is disposed in the gap, guide means provided on the cylindrical portion of the cap, and a voice coil bobbin disposed between the guide means and the inside wall of the annular plate.
- The guide means comprise a plurality of projections, each of which extends axially.

yoke 11 having anintegral center pole 10 and a yoke base 11a, anannular frame 12 having anupper flange 12a and secured to the yoke base 11a, anannular magnet 13 mounted on the yoke base 11a, and anannular plate 14 mounted on themagnet 13. - A
film cap 20 made of resin having a good heat resistance is mounted on the top of thecenter pole 10. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, thefilm cap 20 has acylindrical portion 20a extending downwardly from the top. A plurality ofprojections 21 are formed on thecylindrical portion 20a. Therespective projections 21 have a triangular shape in cross section and extend axially. Thefilm cap 20 is mounted on thecenter pole 10 such that theprojections 21 are disposed in a magnetic gap G formed between thecenter pole 10 and theannular plate 14. - As a material for the
film cap 20, resins having a good heat resistance are used such as polyimide (PI), polyetherimide (PEI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polycarbonate (PC), polyphenylenesulfide (PPS), polyethersulfone (PES), polysulfone (PSF), and/or polyester. - A
voice coil bobbin 16 provided with avoice coil 15 is disposed in the magnetic gap G and mounted on thecenter pole 10 by means of thefilm cap 20 as shown in Fig. 1. Thus, the inner peripheral portion of thevoice coil bobbin 16 is engaged with theprojections 21 of thefilm cap 20 at linear contacts as shown in Fig. 4. Aconical diaphragm 18 made of paper, for example, is secured to thevoice coil bobbin 16 at an upper portion thereof and supported by anedge 19 connected to theupper flange 12a of theframe 12. Acenter cap 17 is mounted on thevoice coil bobbin 16 at an upper end portion thereof. - The assembling method of the loudspeaker will be described hereinafter.
- As shown in Fig. 2, an
inner periphery 12b of theframe 12 is secured to an outer periphery of the yoke base 11a of theyoke 11. Theannular magnet 13 is secured to the yoke base 11a, and theannular plate 14 is secured to themagnet 13, thereby forming a magnetic circuit. As shown in Fig. 3, an adhesive 27 is coated on the top of thecenter pole 10 to adhere thefilm cap 20 thereto. As shown in Fig. 5, thevoice coil bobbin 16 having thevoice coil 15 is mounted on thecenter pole 10 by means of avoice gauge 30 through thecap 20. - Thereafter, the
diaphragm 18 is mounted on theframe 12 and thecoil bobbin 16 as shown in Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 1, anouter edge 18b of thediaphragm 18 is secured to aninside edge 19a of theedge 19. Anouter edge 19b of theedge 19 is adhered to theupper flange 12a of theframe 12. As shown in Fig. 7, aninner edge 18a of thediaphragm 18 is engaged with the upper portion of thevoice coil bobbin 16 and adhered thereto by the adhesive 27. - As shown in Fig. 8, an end of a
lead 25 of thevoice coil 15 is connected to an end of a Litzwire 26 which is exposed from thediaphragm 18 and secured thereto by asolder 28. The other end of the Litzwire 26 is connected to an external terminal (not shown). - As shown in Fig. 9,
adhesives 27 are coated on a laid portion of thelead 25 so as to reinforce thelead 25. Another lead (not shown) of thevoice coil 15 is also connected in the same manner as thelead 25. As shown in Fig. 10, thevoice gauge 30 is removed from thevoice coil bobbin 16 and thecenter cap 17 is adhered to the upper end of thevoice coil bobbin 16. - When the
voice coil 15 is supplied with the audio current, thevoice coil 15 generates a magnetic force, which moves thevoice coil bobbin 16 itself. Thediaphragm 18 is thus caused to vibrate in order to produce sound waves. Hence, an electric signal is converted into an acoustic signal by a magnetic flux generated by themagnet 13 and a magnetic force caused by the electric signal. - The
voice coil bobbin 16 reciprocates axially on theprojections 21 with a small friction. - In accordance with the present invention, the
film cap 20 made of resin is provided on theyoke 11 so as to be linearly engaged with thevoice coil bobbin 16 at theprojections 21 thereof. Since the contact area of theprojections 21 is very small, noises caused by rubbing of thevoice coil bobbin 16 are reduced and minimized, thereby preventing a deterioration of the sound quality. - Fig. 11 shows another embodiment of the present invention. A loudspeaker of this embodiment is provided with a
film cap 22 having acylindrical portion 22a and an outsidecylindrical portion 23 which is formed by bending thecylindrical portion 22a outwardly at a lower portion thereof. Thus a slight gap is formed between thecylindrical portions cylindrical portion 23 is disposed in the magnetic gap G and engaged with the inner periphery of thevoice coil bobbin 16. - Other structures are the same as in the first embodiment and the same parts thereof are identified with the same reference numerals as in Fig. 1.
- Concerning the assembling method of the loudspeaker, as shown in Fig. 12, the magnetic circuit is assembled in the same manner as in the first embodiment of Fig. 5. Then, the
voice coil bobbin 16 provided with thevoice coil 15 is mounted on thecenter pole 10 with thevoice gauge 30 as shown in Fig. 13. As shown in Figs. 14 to 17, thediaphragm 18 and thelead 25 are assembled in the same manner as in the first embodiment of Figs. 6 to 9. As shown in Fig. 18, thevoice gauge 30 is removed from thevoice coil bobbin 16, and thefilm cap 22 is inserted into thevoice coil bobbin 16 and adhered to thecenter pole 10 by an adhesive 27. As shown in Fig. 19, thecenter cap 17 is secured to thevoice coil bobbin 16. - In this embodiment, the outside
cylindrical portion 23 engaged with thevoice coil bobbin 16 can be deflected to thecylindrical portion 22a, thereby absorbing lateral vibrations of thevoice coil bobbin 16. - While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that these disclosures are for the purpose of illustration only and that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
