Abstract
Static device for dorcing loud-speaker cooling air streams,
comprising a diffusing device centralised in relation to the ring magnet,
geometrically built so as to form several specific zones, similar to an
inverted venturi, capable of transforming the air pulses issued by the
diaphragm at its back end and under the cap, in a continuous flow in one
way only and through the coil.
Description
- The following descriptive report of the invention patent refers to the development of a static device for forcing air streams for the cooling of loud-speakers, comprising of a diffusing device centered in relation to the ring magnet, geometrically built to form a converging zone, a cleft and a divergent zone, similar to an inverted venturi, provided with entrance ducts formed between the diffuser and the inner walls of the upper polar, lower polar, and ring magnet parts, capable of transforming the air pulsation issued by the diaphragm at its back end and under the cap, in a continuous flow, in one only way and through the voice coil.
- Dynamic loud-speakers with mobile voice coils consist basically of a diaphragm or membrane, coupled to a mobile coil that moves in the space between the poles of a magnetic assemblage. The upper or outer rim of the diaphragm is fixed to a framework by an elastic suspension. When an alternate current flows through the coil, such coil together with the diaphragm is successively attracted an repealed by the permanent magnetic field in the free space between the poles. Such diaphragm displacement moves the air forth and back. Such motions are perceived as a sound, a vibratory motion of the air. (figure 1).
- The electric current sent to the coil is thus transformed into a motion.
- However, due to the ohmic resistance of the coil, a great part of the energy used to break this resistance is transformed into heat which is issued by the coil. The increase in the temperature increases even further the conductor's resistance. Therefore, this progressive process decreases the loud speaker's efficiency.
- It is essential to keep the temperature under control within reasonable limits, specially in low frequency loud-speakers that require great power. Thus, the purpose of the present invention patent is to safeguard the integrity of the loud-speaker's internal components and obtain adequate results.
- The invention is based on the concept of transforming the air pulses issued by the back of the diaphragm and under the cap, into a continuous air flow, in one sole way and through the coil.
- The fresh air enters by the side of the coil, goes up to the chamber under the cap and is expelled by a central opening in the polar piece. This is due to the positioning of the device in question. (figure 3).
- Figure 2 illustrates a magnetic circuit that causes the diaphragm motion, making it later on, to aspirate the air through the ducts (8), as well as through the divergent piece (12). Due to the forced entering of air into the chamber (9), this one remains pressurised for a moment. The coil's retrogression due to the subsequent inverted pulse, causes a great influx of air over the upper angle of the diffuser (7) and consequently, on the convergent piece (10) between both flanks. This way, the behaviour is similar to an inverted vectorial venturi tube. The air passing through the round cleft (11) at high speed, causes the emptying of the chamber (9) and the absence of air makes fresh air to be suctioned again through the ducts (8). Therefore, an oriented and permanent flow is estabilished. In order to avoid turbulence at the outlet of the divergent piece (12), a ring with a curved brim (13) is placed over the polar piece (3), covering the ducts (8). This way, the re-entering of hot air is prevented. Affluent air guiding ring (figure 4).
- The following must be considered by dimensioning the device:
- a) the air volume in the chamber;
- b) the diaphragm motion;
- c) convergence angle;
- d) angle of the divergent piece;
- e) opening of the cleft;
- f) inlet piece area;
- g) divergent outlet area.
-
- It must be pointed out that the cooling air flow orientation system has no defined geometrical shape; and it may vary in accordance with the type of loud-speaker to which it is applied.
- The system's efficiency is limited to loud-speakers with a working frequency from 10 to 250 Hz. Frequencies lower than 10 Hz do not constitute a flow of air, because the chamber does not achieve to an initial pressurisation. Above 250 Hz, the diaphragm presents no excursion, and therefore no efficiency.
- The characterising of the now proposed invention patent is carried out by means of drawings representing the air streams static forcing and orientation device for the cooling of loud-speakers, so that it may reproduced by an appropriate technique, materialising the proposed contents and allowing a full characterisation of the functionality of the requested object.
- Beginning with the drawings elaborated, which express the best way of accomplishing the product now idealised, the descriptive part of the report is based on a detailed and consecutive numbering, whereby the aspects that may be implied by the adopted representation are clarified, so as to clearly determine the protection now requested.
- Such drawings are merely illustrative, and they may present variations, provided the initially requested goal is not missed.
- In this case we have that:
- FIGURE 1: shows a schematic drawing of the state of the technique;
- FIGURE 2: shows a schematic view and in cross section of the proposed device;
- FIGURE 3:_shows a cross section detail related to the polar piece and
- FIGURE 4:_shows a detail of the incoming air guiding ring.
