Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with panel loudspeakers, in particular with the Improvement of the low-frequency radiation of such record speakers.
  • connection elements connected to a periphery. This periphery allows on the one hand, the outer holding of the entire record speaker and provides on the other hand, a favorable for the sound reproduction of the weight of the Panels and the drive system or systems used safely.
  • Characteristic of such sound reproducing arrangements in the form of Record speakers is that from a critical lower cut-off frequency "Bending wave radiation" is possible, the bending waves in Record speakers for sound radiation with frequency-dependent direction to lead.
  • a section through a created directional diagram shows a main lobe, whose direction is frequency dependent.
  • the panel of the panel loudspeaker is constructed according to the sandwich principle in that, for example, two opposing surfaces of a very light core layer, each with a cover layer that is thin in comparison to the core layer, for example. Bonding are connected.
  • the material for the cover layer must have a particularly high expansion wave speed.
  • Suitable cover layer materials are, for example, thin metal foils or fiber-reinforced plastic foils. Special requirements are also placed on the core layer, because this layer must above all have a particularly low density (for example 20 to 30 kg / m 3) .
  • the core layer should be able to absorb high shear stresses normal to the cover layers.
  • the modulus of elasticity in the direction normal to the cover layers must be sufficiently large, while a very low modulus of elasticity does not interfere parallel to the cover layers.
  • the core layer can exhibit anisotropic or isotropic behavior.
  • honeycombs made of light metal alloys or resin-impregnated fiber-reinforced papers (anisotropic) and rigid foams (isotropic) have proven themselves as ultra-light core layer structures.
  • magnet systems known from the prior art are generally used by attaching them to the panel or also integrating them into the panel.
  • the multi-resonance principle should "free" the edge of the panel if possible be, i.e. the transverse vibrations spreading on the panel should be neither fixed nor damped in the edge area of the panel.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying plate loudspeakers, which improved despite relatively small panel areas Have sound reproduction performance in the low frequency range.
  • the respective connecting elements of one or also formed two cover layers by the respective cover layers Spanning lateral distance to the periphery is a very inexpensive and in the production very easily realizable unit from periphery and Panel created.
  • the respective periphery is formed by a frame, can such arrangements with little effort with other objects can be connected, because the necessary for the generation of the necessary voltage in the Cover layers and / or connecting elements already work can be carried out in the factory with high manufacturing quality.
  • the plate loudspeakers according to the invention are also not merely monotonic Sound reproduction arrangements can be used. Rather, it is according to claim 4 also possible to make a plurality of panel speakers to a larger one Combine baffle without the individual panel directly with a peripherals not excited by transducers. Rather, in Connection with the invention shown that the otherwise for connection to a peripherals that are not excited (e.g. a Ralunen) Connecting elements for the mutual and decoupled connection of used adjacent panels of a larger baffle can be.
  • the mechanical tension of the connecting elements and / or the Particularly low-frequency resonances can be generated in their cover layers Vibration amplitude can be reduced by the according to claim 8, respectively parts under mechanical tension (cover layers and / or Connection elements) are provided with damping elements 30.
  • the mechanical tension Fasteners and the cover layers may be different. Thereby damping values of different sizes can be very easily with the realize different parts.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sound reproduction arrangement 10 in the form of a Record speaker shown, which after the already explained “Bending shaft principle” works.
  • This arrangement 10 is provided by a panel 11 and a periphery 12 is formed.

  • the connection between the panel 11 and the Periphery 12 in the form of the built-in wall 16 is realized such that a Connecting element 17 with the cover layer 14.o and the installation wall 16 connected is. From Figure 1, which is a top view of a record speaker 10 shows, can also be seen that the connecting element 17 in one piece is formed and the mutual distance A between each other facing edges 24 and 24 'of panel 11 and opening 15 completely covered.
  • a plate speaker 10 is shown, which a plurality of Panels 11 has.
  • the Use of an independent frame 19 in one or more Panels 11 has the advantage that the tension in the connecting elements 17th not only when connecting the panel or panels 11 directly to the respective one Installation location must be carried out, but very simple and factory can be set precisely if the or the respective plate speakers 10 can only be delivered together with a frame 19.
  • the top view according to FIG. 2 shows that the panels 11 different dimensions as well as different distances with each other or with the frame.
  • the different dimensions of the panels 11 are due to the fact that the various panels 11 of the in 2 shows the arrangement 10 shown as a so-called area radiator for different audio frequency ranges are optimized. That kind of Training makes it a decoupling of the various panels 11 also required that the distances between the individual panels 11 or the distances of the panels 11 to the frame 19 the corresponding Playback area of the affected panels 11 can be adjusted. Only the For the sake of completeness it should be noted that because of the different Frequency ranges trained panels 11 optimizes the mechanical tension in the cover layers (not shown in more detail in FIG. 2) of the various panels 11 is also adapted to the corresponding reproduction purposes.
  • FIG. 2 use is also made independent connecting elements 17 dispensed with. Rather, the panels are 11 with each other or with the Ralunen 19 exclusively by means of the cover layer 14o connected. This type of connection is shown in more detail in FIGS. 4b and 5b and will be explained in connection with these figures.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des haut-parleurs à panneaux (11), fonctionnant selon le principe de la multirésonance. Ces haut-parleurs sont en général constitués d'une couche centrale (13) et d'au moins une couche de recouvrement (14.o, 14.u) reliée à cette dernière. Il est en outre prévu une zone périphérique (12) qui entoure le haut-parleur à panneaux (11), à une distance latérale A, ledit haut-parleur à panneaux (11) étant relié à la zone périphérique (12) au moyen d'éléments de raccordement (17, 17'). Bien que ces haut-parleurs à panneaux (11) permettent d'obtenir une bonne restitution dans les aigus et les médiums, il est prouvé que des surfaces de panneaux, de dimensions importantes non souhaitables, sont nécessaires pour une bonne restitution des graves. En l'absence de telles surfaces de panneaux, les résonances de panneaux les plus graves, assurant la restitution des graves, se déplacent vers la plage des fréquences moyennes. L'invention vise par conséquent à créer des haut-parleurs à panneaux (11) qui présentent une restitution des graves améliorées même avec des surfaces de panneaux relativement petites. A cet effet, les éléments de raccordement (17, 17') sont sollicités mécaniquement lorsqu'ils sont reliés à la zone périphérique (12). Il en résulte, en plus des résonances graves de panneaux déjà présentes, des résonances de type tambour supplémentaires, particulièrement graves. Ces dernières peuvent être modulées par la sollicitation des éléments de raccordement (17, 17').
