Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrostatic pressure gradient - microphone capsule for im with essentially flush installation in or behind, in particular, flat installation surfaces a capsule housing which has two, possibly subdivided, sound inlet openings, a membrane held on a membrane ring, an electrode and possibly acoustic friction
- Electrostatic converters for microphones exhibit, regardless of their physical Working method, a membrane that is exposed to and from the sound field Vibrations is excited.
- the object of the invention is thus an electrostatic Microphone.
- the electrodes of the electrostatic converter are elastic, kept taut Membrane and a rigid electrode, which is usually only called the electrode. Both form a capacitor whose electrical capacity is characterized by pressure fluctuations of the sound field changed. Because between the electrodes of the electrostatic converter an electric field is built, it is possible to change the capacity of the Converter with the help of a downstream amplifier in electrical voltage changes convert.
- the electroacoustic properties of electrostatic microphone capsules are mainly depends on the type of acoustic excitation of the membrane.
- the technology is on the one hand the so-called pressure and on the other hand the so-called Pressure gradient receiver known.
- the membrane of the former is only in one Direction (the so-called front direction) exposed to the sound field, they react therefore only on the changes in air pressure due to the sound waves. Because the air pressure is a scalar, microphones constructed in this way have a spherical directivity.
- the membrane is from both directions Exposes sound field, it is therefore from the currently prevailing pressure gradient stimulated to move between the front and rear sides of the membrane.
- Microphones constructed in this way have a difference in the propagation time of the sound waves to the front and to the rear of a directional pattern that through correct acoustic tuning of the microphone capsule, almost any shape between figure-eight and kidney-shaped directional characteristics can assume.
- FIG. 1 shows an electrostatic microphone capsule according to the state of the art. It has a front sound inlet opening 1 and a rear sound inlet opening 2.
- microphone capsules The mounting of microphone capsules is demanded more and more, if possible To be installed flush in a flat and relatively large surface. It can be A headliner of a car act when a speakerphone for one Mobile phone or other communication device provided in the vehicle shall be. State-of-the-art microphone capsules are not able to to meet these conditions and can be very difficult, expensive and essential technical smears can be built into a flat surface. 2 shows the Usual assembly situation of a state of the art, according to electrostatic Principle working microphone capsule. In order for both to function To make the capsule necessary sound inlet openings accessible to the sound, it must above, instead of being installed in the installation area as intended.
- the invention has set itself the task of a microphone capsule according to the electrostatic Principle works and as an electroacoustic transducer according to the pressure gradient principle is built to create even in a flat surface without optical Disturbances or acoustic compromises can be integrated while keeping a low level Has overall height and is easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
- these goals are achieved in that the two sound entry openings are arranged on one side of the capsule housing, the front, and that a sound inlet opening is acoustically conductive with the front of the membrane and the other sound inlet opening is acoustically conductive with the back of the membrane is connected and that the membrane is arranged substantially parallel to the front is.
- a pressure gradient capsule has the following schematic structure: A membrane 1 is on a membrane ring 2 preloaded and glued on. It is by means of a spacer ring 3 from an electrode 4 brought to a distance of about 10 to 60 microns and forms together with it a capacitor. The electrode 4 is provided with bores. On the membrane A so-called acoustic friction 5 is provided on the side facing away from the electrode. The acoustic friction 5 usually has a plastic ring, the Opening with a porous material (metal mesh, sintered material, plastic mesh or natural fiber) is covered. The acoustic friction 5 serves the acoustic Tuning the microphone capsule.
- This structure corresponds in principle to the state of the Technology.
- the capsule is accommodated in a capsule housing 6.
- the capsule housing 6 is closed on its upper side, the front side 11, with a cover.
- the front side 11 has at least two sound openings, one opening, the front opening 7, the access of the sound waves to the front side of the membrane 1 allowed and the second opening, the rear opening 8, via a on the built-in parts of the Capsule passing sound channel 9, consisting of sections or areas 9a, 9b and 9c, the access of the sound waves to the rear side of the membrane 1 is permitted.
- the Sound channel 9 can replace or supplement the acoustic friction 5, as by the Area 9c indicated, for this purpose a separate sound friction can be found inside the sound channel 9, for example in area 9b.
- Such acoustic friction in the Sound channel 9 can either at its beginning, near the rear opening 8, or housed in sections or in the entire area of the sound channel become.
- the capsule in Levels parallel to the membrane 1 has a larger cross section than the membrane ring 2 and that the remaining area is used for one inside the capsule Sound channel, namely to provide the sound channel 9a, 9b, 9c, which "around the membrane around "to the back of the" Membrane - Electrode "unit. Because the diameter of the membrane ring 2 is significantly larger than the height of the unit “membrane - Electrode "including rings and friction, it is possible through the invention clearly to produce flatter-build pressure gradient microphones than before, and with a lot reduced manufacturing costs, since assembly in one go, on the same Machines as previously possible, since only the capsule housing has a slightly different shape having.
- the microphone capsule according to the invention can be installed in this way that the surface of the capsule housing 6 is flush with the installation surface 10 completes and is therefore optically inconspicuous.
- the capsule is installed directed, so that the front opening 7 is closer to the source to be exposed than the rear opening 8 is.
- the microphone capsule is acoustically tuned so that its directional characteristic their maximum sensitivity in the presumed direction of the speaker having. This ensures that the directional characteristic is parallel to the installation level 10 is positioned, which makes it possible to block out interference signals from other directions.
- Fig. 3 the type of assembly is not shown in detail, the capsule can by Press fit, removable by gluing, by screws, bolts, etc. or fixed to the installation surface get connected.
- the electrical contacting is also not shown, Knowing the invention, this is not a problem for the person skilled in the art.
- the overall height can continue be reduced.
- the cross section of the capsule housing can be oval or made normal to the membrane level two semicircles with a rectangular central part and so the circular Support components of the actual transducer over a substantial part of the circumference. If you choose another shape, it is also possible to connect these components for yourself and store together in the capsule housing, but this is because of the larger space requirement and the additional effort advised only in special cases.
- the storage or mounting of the actual components, namely the friction, the Electrode and the membrane ring is not shown in detail in FIG. 3, it can through a shoulder or several console-like structures that extend from the inner lateral surface of the capsule housing 6 protrude inwards, the parts in which to the Sound channel 9 adjacent area are self-supporting, it can also Knobs, webs, elevations or the like. from the bottom of the capsule housing 6 upwards protrude (indicated in area 9b of the sound channel) and the friction or the electrode support.
- Fig. 4 shows a directional characteristic achievable with the invention, indicated by the dashed line 13.
- a transducer designed according to the invention is with its capsule housing 6 aligned (flush) mounted in the installation surface 10, the middle of the Both only indicated sound inlet openings 7, 8 lie in the plane of the drawing.
- the Arrow P essentially indicates the direction in which the sensitivity of the built-in Microphone is largest. If this is the case when installing it in a vehicle corresponds to the direction of the driver's head, it is easy to see that the Microphone sound from the direction of the passenger, arrow N, from the most likely background noise come, hardly transmits, although the capsule is flat and inconspicuous behind the Installation surface 10 is.
