Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coaxial loudspeaker with wave-shaped membrane according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • a coaxial loudspeaker two loudspeakers of different frequency ranges, e.g. a so-called “midrange” and a “tweeter” combined.
  • Tweeters with meander-shaped folded membrane according to the air-motion principle are, for example, from the utility model DE-U1 73 22 245 known. 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.
  • 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. Due to a square mounting plate, the entire unit can also be installed in a position rotated by 90 ° about the longitudinal axis in order to be used optimally in both horizontal and vertical loudspeakers, in particular to utilize the essentially horizontal, broad-angle radiation characteristic with horizontally extending slots can.
  • 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.
  • Bundlingungshackes still another sound conduction can be provided via a high or a midrange.
  • the slots have approximately a 5mm wide and 25mm long length parallel to each other in the central region of the front panel.
  • 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.
  • the neodymium plate is finally held in a magnetic retaining ring spaced from a lower pole plate, with a sleeve forming the wall of the closed chamber enclosing the individual parts except for the face plate.
  • the membrane sheet is held by a film retaining ring.
  • a front plate 16 with screw holes and five slots 26 is shown, below which a film retaining ring is present, which has in its interior a recess corresponding to the dimensions of the underlying rectangular wavy meandering membrane film 12.
  • a sound guide plate 32 and the diaphragm unit for the midrange 30 can be arranged in front of the front panel.
  • Reference numeral 36 shows a basket unit for the coaxial structure of the speaker. Within this is the voice coil of the midrange system 34, which is glued to the diaphragm 30 of the midrange. It is important that the centers of the sound-producing, used as a tweeter wavy membrane sheet 12 and another membrane unit 30 in front of the back chamber of the used as a midrange oscillating system horizontally and vertically on a plane.
  • the magnetic system belonging to the middle system consists of the parts 38a-d arranged in front of the wave-shaped corrugated sheet 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.
  • the associated front plate 26 is located in front of the membrane film 12.
  • 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.
  • reference numeral 10 is an iron pole core (see also Fig. 2 ), with reference numeral 20 a sleeve which surrounds the magnet system as a whole.
  • a magnet retaining ring 22 provided with a recess for the neodymium pole and a bearing edge for the damping plate 14, and a bottom pole plate 24 is finally shown together with solder lugs 46 in the lower part of the drawing.
  • 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.
  • the entire system forms a ready-to-install, separately sealed mounting unit to cover the frequency range from 400 Hz to 50 kHz.
  • Fig. 2 are in a representation only of 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).
  • 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 five slots provided for a too large offset resulting phasing is avoided. Due to the closed design of the invention Koaxiallaut Anlageners is a Provision a separate mid-tone chamber in a loudspeaker receiving speaker loudspeaker superfluous.
  • 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 40 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.
  • the rectangular membrane film allows the greatest possible passage of sound while avoiding a symmetry effect which could affect the sound passage.
  • the individual slots should therefore also end rounded.
  • a right-angle neodymium plate 40 should be selected and between neodymium plate 40 and membrane sheet 12, a damping plate 14 are provided, wherein one of the wall of the closed chamber forming sleeve 20 enclosed magnetic retaining ring 22 for spaced from a lower pole plate 24 storage of the magnetic element 40 is used.
  • the magnetically "soft" elements 38d, 38c are then both components of a flat panel midrange assembly and an air-motion tweeter assembly.
