Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Koaxiallautsprecher mit wellenförmiger Membran nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches. In einem Koaxiallautsprecher werden zwei Lautsprecher verschiedener Frequenzbereiche, z.B. ein sog. "Mitteltöner" und ein "Hochtöner" zusammengefaßt.The invention relates to a coaxial loudspeaker with wave-shaped membrane according to the preamble of the main claim. In a coaxial loudspeaker, two loudspeakers of different frequency ranges, e.g. a so-called "midrange" and a "tweeter" combined.

Hochtonlautsprecher mit mäanderförmig gefalteter Membran nach dem air-motion Prinzip sind dabei beispielsweise aus dem Gebrauchsmuster DE-U1 73 22 245 bekannt. Dort jedoch ist ein Verbindungsglied für eine direkte Ankupplung über eine an einer Zentriermembran ansetzende Stange erforderlich, was aufwendig ist und die Baulänge vergrößert.Tweeters with a meandering folded membrane according to the air-motion principle are known for example from the utility model DE-U1 73 22 245. There, however, a connecting member for a direct coupling via an attached to a centering rod is required, which is expensive and increases the overall length.

Vorliegend soll jedoch ein kompakter Aufbau in einem Koaxiallautsprecher erreicht werden. Weiter sollen die akustischen Eigenschaften insbesondere hinsichtlich Frequenzgang und Wirkungsgrad verbessert werden.In the present case, however, a compact design in a coaxial speaker is to be achieved. Next, the acoustic properties are to be improved in particular in terms of frequency response and efficiency.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch einen Koaxiallautsprecher mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausführungen wieder. Es wird insbesondere vorgeschlagen, eine axial magnetisierte Magnetplatte zu verwenden, über der eine wellenförmige Membran angeordnet ist, wobei eine geschlossene rückseitige Kammer gebildet wird und eine frontseitige Platte vor der Membranfolie vorgesehen wird.This is achieved by a coaxial loudspeaker with the features of the main claim. The dependent claims give advantageous embodiments again. In particular, it is proposed to use an axially magnetized magnetic plate over which a wave-shaped membrane is disposed, forming a closed back chamber and providing a front plate in front of the membrane sheet.

Durch diese konstruktiven Verbesserungen wird eine deutliche Erweiterung des Übertragungsbereiches mit einer Wirkungsgraderhöhung von 3dB bis hinauf zu 50 kHz erreicht. Bisherige Konstruktionen mit rückseitig geschlossener Kammer waren dagegen stets auf einen Übertragungsbereich von bis zu 28 kHz eingeschränkt. Dies ist für Hifi-Anforderungen nicht befriedigend.Through these design improvements, a significant extension of the transmission range is achieved with an increase in efficiency of 3dB up to 50 kHz. On the other hand, previous designs with chamber closed on the back were always restricted to a transmission range of up to 28 kHz. This is not satisfactory for hi-fi requirements.

Dadurch, dass die Schlitze in der Frontplatte im Bereich der Schallabstrahlung geöffnet sind und rechtwinklig zur Richtung der Falten der Membranfolie angeordnet sind, wird eine tonal sehr ausgewogene Wiedergabe erreicht, weil die Gesamtlinearität deutlich verbessert ist. Die gesamte Einheit ist aufgrund einer quadratischen Montageplatte auch in einer um 90° um die Längsachse gedrehten Position einbaubar, um sowohl in liegenden wie stehenden Lautsprechern optimal eingesetzt werden zu können, insbesondere, die im wesentlichen horizontale definiert breitwinklige Abstrahlcharakteristik bei horizontal verlaufenden Schlitzen nutzen zu können.The fact that the slots are open in the front panel in the field of sound radiation and are arranged at right angles to the direction of the folds of the membrane film, a tonal very balanced reproduction is achieved because the overall linearity is significantly improved. The entire unit is installed due to a square mounting plate in a rotated by 90 ° about the longitudinal axis position to be optimally used both in horizontal and vertical speakers can, in particular, to be able to use the substantially horizontal defined broad-angle radiation characteristic with horizontally extending slots ,

Durch die Verwendung einer Neodymplatte anstelle beispielsweise von Neodymstäben lässt sich eine deutliche Verbesserung der Impulstreue durch die Erhöhung der Bandbreite auf nunmehr 50 kHz erreichen. Die Kennempfindlichkeit wird in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform auf über 90 dB/W/m im Wirkungsgrad erhöht. Zur Erhöhung des Bündelungsmaßes kann noch eine weitere Schallführung über einen Hoch- oder auch einen Mitteltöner vorgesehen werden.By using a neodymium plate instead of, for example, neodymium rods, a significant improvement in the pulse fidelity can be achieved by increasing the bandwidth to now 50 kHz. The sensitivity is increased in a preferred embodiment to over 90 dB / W / m in efficiency. To increase the Bundlingungsmaßes still another sound conduction can be provided via a high or a midrange.

Vorteilhaft ist hierbei dann, daß die Schlitze ca. eine 5mm große Breite und 25mm große Länge parallel zueinander im mittleren Bereich der Frontplatte aufweisen.It is advantageous in this case that the slots have approximately a 5mm wide and 25mm long length parallel to each other in the central region of the front panel.

Zwischen Neodymplatte und Membranfolie wird zusätzlich eine Dämpfungsplatte vorgesehen, die in den Abmessung die Membranfolie übersteigt und diese vor direktem Kontakt mit der Neodymplatte schützt, was die Lebensdauer verlängert, aber auch bei größeren Auslenkungen die Schalltreue bewirkt.Between neodymium plate and membrane film, a damping plate is also provided, which exceeds the membrane membrane in dimension and this protects against direct contact with the neodymium plate, which extends the life, but also for larger deflections causes the sound fidelity.

Die Neodymplatte wird schließlich in einem Magnethaltering beanstandet von einer unteren Polplatte gehalten, wobei eine Hülse, die die Wandung der geschlossenen Kammer bildet, die einzelnen Teile bis auf die Frontplatte umschließt. In ähnlicher Weise wird die Membranfolie durch einen Folienhaltering gehalten.The neodymium plate is finally held in a Magnethaltering spaced from a lower pole plate, wherein a sleeve which forms the wall of the closed chamber encloses the individual parts to the front panel. Similarly, the membrane sheet is held by a film retaining ring.

Der mit Bezugszeichen 38 a bezeichnete Ring wird bevorzugt aus einer Neodym-Legierung (NdFeB) oder wenigstens Weicheisen gefertigt.The magnetic system belonging to the middle system consists of the parts 38a-d arranged in front of the wave-shaped corrugated sheet metal folded or corrugated membrane sheet 12. The designated by reference numeral 38 a ring is preferably made of a neodymium alloy (NdFeB) or at least soft iron.

Dagegen ist das zum Hochtöner gehörige Magnetsystem aus den Teilen 24, 10; 40 hinter der gewellten Membranfolie 12 angeordnet. Die zugehörige Frontplatte 26 befindet sich vor der Membranfolie 12.In contrast, the tweeter belonging to the magnetic system of the parts 24, 10; 40 arranged behind the corrugated membrane sheet 12.

Dazwischen ist weiter eine Dämpfungsplatte, die die Ausmessungen sowohl der zugehörigen Neodymplatte 40, wie der Membranfolie 12 übersteigt, vorgesehen und mit Bezugszeichen 14 bezeichnet. Mit Bezugszeichen 10 ist ein Eisenpolkern (siehe auch Fig. 2), mit Bezugszeichen 20 eine Hülse, die das Magnetsystem insgesamt umgibt.In between, there is further provided a damping plate, which exceeds the dimensions of both the associated neodymium plate 40 and the membrane foil 12, and is designated by reference numeral 14.

Bezugszeichen 44 bezeichnet einen Dichtungsring.Reference numeral 42 denotes a cover cap for the mid-tone unit into which, in particular, the fourth part of the magnet system, an iron ring 38d, fits. Reference numeral 44 denotes a sealing ring.

Das gesamte System bildet eine einbaufertige, jeweils separat abgedichtete Montageeinheit zur Überdeckung des Frequenzbereichs von 400 Hz bis 50 kHz.The entire system forms a ready-to-install, separately sealed mounting unit to cover the frequency range from 400 Hz to 50 kHz.

In Fig. 2 sind in einer Darstellung nur des Magnetaufbaus (ohne Spulen etc.) die beiden Magnetspalte, nämlich der des Mitteltöners, ein in der Zeichnung mit horizontal verlaufenden Feldlinien befindlicher Spalt 28 zwischen Polkern 38b und Polplatte 38c, und der Hochtönerspalt 18 (mit vertikalen Feldlinien in der Zeichnung zwischen der Neodym-Magnetplatte 40 und Frontplatte 16) dargestellt.In Fig. 2 are in a representation of only the magnetic structure (without coils, etc.), the two magnetic gaps, namely the midrange, located in the drawing with horizontally extending field lines gap 28 between pole core 38b and pole plate 38c, and the tweeter gap 18 (with vertical field lines in the drawing between the neodymium magnetic plate 40 and front panel 16).

Der Ebenenversatz ist mit 7 mm sehr klein gewählt, so daß erfolgreich im Zusammenspiel mit den bevorzugt im Breite-Länge Verhältnis von 1 : 5 parallel zueinander vorgesehenen fünf schlitzen ein bei zu großem Versatz entstehendes Phasing vermieden wird. Durch die geschlossene Bauart des erfindungsgemäßen Koaxiallautsprechers wird eine Vorsehung einer separaten Mitteltonkammer in einem den Lautsprecher aufnehmenden Lautsprecherchassis überflüssig.The plane offset is chosen to be very small at 7 mm, so that successful in conjunction with the preferably in the width-length ratio of 1: 5 parallel to each other provided five slots in a too large offset resulting phasing is avoided. Due to the closed design of the invention Koaxiallautsprechers is a Provision a separate mid-tone chamber in a loudspeaker receiving speaker loudspeaker superfluous.

Damit weist der erfindungsgemäße Koaxiallautsprecher neben der wellenförmigen Membranfolie 12 vor einer geschlossenen, rückseitigen Kammer für mindestens einen energiereichen Dauermagneten ein plattenförmiges, axial magnetisiertes Magnetelement 10 und eine Frontplatte auf, in der Schlitze so vor der Membranfolie 12 angeordnet sind, daß der erzeugte Schall gut austreten kann, gleichzeitig die Membranfolie auf engstem Raum gut mechanisch geschützt ist.Thus, the coaxial loudspeaker according to the invention in addition to the wavy membrane sheet 12 in front of a closed, rear chamber for at least one high-energy permanent magnet a plate-shaped, axially magnetized magnetic element 10 and a front plate, are arranged in the slots in front of the membrane sheet 12, that the generated sound exit well At the same time, the membrane film is well mechanically protected in the tightest of spaces.

Dabei sind die Mittelpunkte der schallerzeugenden, als Hochtöner genutzten wellenförmigen Membranfolie 12 und der weiteren Membraneinheit 30 vor der rückseitigen Kammer des als Mitteltöner genutzten Schwingsystems horizontal und vertikal auf einer Ebene gelegt und die Schlitze in der Frontplatte 16 im Bereich der Schallabstrahlung rechtwinklig zur Richtung der Falten der Membranfolie 12 angeordnet.The centers of the sound-producing, used as a tweeter wavy membrane sheet 12 and the other membrane unit 30 in front of the back chamber of the used as a midrange oscillating system horizontally and vertically on a plane and the slots in the front panel 16 in the field of sound radiation at right angles to the direction of the folds the membrane sheet 12 is arranged.

Durch fünf Schlitze 26 mit einem Breite - Länge Verhältnis von 1:5 parallel zueinander in einem rechteckigen Bereich wird der rechteckigen Membranfolie größtmöglicher Schalldurchtritt ermöglicht und gleichzeitig ein Symmetrie-Effekt, der sich auf den Schallgang auswirken könnte, vermieden. Die einzelnen Schlitze sollten deshalb auch abgerundet enden.By means of five slots 26 with a width - length ratio of 1: 5 parallel to each other in a rectangular area, the rectangular membrane film allows the greatest possible passage of sound while avoiding a symmetry effect that could affect the sound passage. The individual slots should therefore also end rounded.
