Further, an opening between the outer volume and the rear volume between the electroacoustic transducer and the housing and an opening between the rear volume and the front volume may be provided. By turning a setting element, these openings can either be completely closed or completely opened.
Es ist somit eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Hörer vorzusehen, welcher eine verbesserte Einstellmöglichkeit der akustischen Eigenschaften des Hörers ermöglicht.It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a handset, which allows an improved adjustment of the acoustic properties of the listener.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Hörer gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a receiver according to claim 1.
Es wird ein Hörer mit mindestens einem Gehäuse und mindestens einem elekt- roakustischen Wandler mit einer ersten und zweiten Oberfläche vorgesehen. DerA receiver with at least one housing and at least one electric-acoustic converter with a first and second surface is provided. Of the
Hörer weist ferner ein erstes Volumen, welches durch die erste Oberfläche des elektroakustischen Wandlers und durch ein erstes Ende des Gehäuses definiert wird, und ein zweites Volumen auf, welches durch die zweite Oberfläche des elektroakustischen Wandlers und durch ein zweites Ende des Gehäuses definiert wird. Zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Volumen ist eine Öffnung vorgesehen. Eine Schließeinheit dient dazu, die Öffnung zumindest teilweise zu verschließen.A receiver further includes a first volume defined by the first surface of the electroacoustic transducer and by a first end of the housing and a second volume defined by the second surface of the electroacoustic transducer and by a second end of the housing. Between the first and second volumes, an opening is provided. A closing unit serves to at least partially close the opening.
Die Erfindung betrifft den Gedanken, einen Hörer mit einem Gehäuse und einem darin angeordneten elektroakustischen Wandler vorzusehen, wobei der Wandler eine erste und eine zweite Oberfläche aufweist. Durch den Wandler wird das Gehäuse in ein erstes und in ein zweites Volumen eingeteilt. Das erste Volumen erstreckt sich zwischen der ersten Oberfläche des Wandlers und der Innenseite des Hörers auf der ohrzugewandten Seite. Das zweite Volumen wird durch die zweite Oberfläche des Wandlers und durch das dem Ohr abgewandte Gehäuse definiert. Zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Volumen ist ferner eine Öffnung vorgesehen, welche durch eine Schließeinheit zumindest teilweise verschlossen werden kann. Die Schließeinheit ist dabei derart ausgestaltet, dass sie den Öff- nungsgrad kontinuierlich verändern kann.The invention relates to the idea of providing a receiver with a housing and an electroacoustic transducer disposed therein, wherein the transducer has a first and a second surface. The converter divides the housing into a first volume and a second volume. The first volume extends between the first surface of the transducer and the inside of the listener on the ear-facing side. The second volume is defined by the second surface of the transducer and by the housing facing away from the ear. Between the first and second volumes, an opening is further provided, which can be at least partially closed by a closing unit. The closing unit is designed such that it can continuously change the opening degree.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung ist ein Dämpfungselement an der Öffnung vorgesehen.According to one aspect of the invention, a damping element is provided at the opening.
Durch das Öffnen oder Schließen der Schließeinheit kann der akustische Widerstand zwischen Vorder- und Rückseite des Wandlers gesteuert werden, insbe- sondere können die tieffrequenten Eigenschaften gesteuert werden. Die Schließeinheit kann durch den Anwender betätigt werden. Durch das Vorsehen der Dämpfungseinheit kann die akustische Impedanz des Bypasses bzw. der Öffnung definiert werden. In Abhängigkeit von der Position der Schließeinheit kann der Schalldruck innerhalb des Übertragungsrohres und des Ohrkanals reduziert oder erhöht werden. Wenn die Schließeinheit geöffnet ist, dann kann eine niedrige Bassantwort realisiert werden. Wenn die Schließeinheit jedoch geschlossen ist, dann kann eine vergrößerte Bassantwort erhalten werden.By opening or closing the closing unit, the acoustic resistance between the front and back of the converter can be controlled, in particular the low-frequency properties can be controlled. The closing unit can be actuated by the user. By providing the damping unit, the acoustic impedance of the bypass or the opening can be defined. Depending on the position of the closing unit, the sound pressure within the transfer tube and the ear canal can be reduced or increased. If the clamping unit is open, then a low bass response can be realized. However, if the clamping unit is closed, then an increased bass response can be obtained.
Die Schließeinheit kann als ein Schieber oder alternativ als eine drehbare Scheibe implementiert werden, mittels welcher die Öffnung kontinuierlich verschlossen werden kann. Die Öffnung kann mittels einer Drehbewegung zumindest teilweise verschlossen werden.The closing unit may be implemented as a slider or, alternatively, as a rotatable disk, by means of which the opening is closed continuously can be.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Hörers gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. Der Hörer gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist insbesondere als ein In-Ohr Hörer ausgestaltet. Der Hörer weist ein Gehäuse 10 mit einem ersten ohrzugewandten Ende 12 und einem zweiten ohrabgewandten Ende 1 1 auf. Der Hörer weist ferner einen elektroakustischen Wandler 20 mit einer ersten Oberfläche 21 und einer zweiten Oberfläche 22 auf. Der elektroakus- tische Wandler 20 ist zwischen einem ersten Volumen 100 und einem zweiten Volumen 200 angeordnet. Eine Öffnung 300 verbindet das erste mit dem zweiten Volumen 100, 200. Eine Schließeinheit 30 ist dazu vorgesehen, die Öffnung 300 zumindest teilweise zu verschließen. Das Verschließen der Öffnung 300 kann dabei kontinuierlich erfolgen, d. h. mittels der Schließeinheit 30 kann die Öffnung 300 auch lediglich teilweise verschlossen werden bzw. der Öffnungsgrad der Öffnung kann eingestellt werden. Die Schließeinheit 30 kann dabei durch den Anwender betätigt werden.Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a receiver according to the first embodiment. The handset according to the first embodiment is configured in particular as an in-ear handset. The handset has a housing 10 with a first ear-facing end 12 and a second ohrabgewandten At the end of 1 1. The handset further includes an electroacoustic transducer 20 having a first surface 21 and a second surface 22. The electroacoustic transducer 20 is arranged between a first volume 100 and a second volume 200. An opening 300 connects the first to the second volume 100, 200. A closing unit 30 is provided to at least partially close the opening 300. The closing of the opening 300 can be carried out continuously, ie by means of the closing unit 30, the opening 300 can also be only partially closed or the opening degree of the opening can be adjusted. The closing unit 30 can be actuated by the user.
Optional kann eine Dämpfungseinheit 400 vor der Öffnung 300 vorgesehen werden. Das erste Volumen 100 wird durch die erste Oberfläche 21 des elektroakustischen Wandlers 20 sowie durch das erste Ende 12 des Gehäuses begrenzt. Das zweite Volumen 200 wird durch die zweite Oberfläche 22 des elektroakusti- sehen Wandlers 20 sowie durch das zweite Ende 1 1 des Gehäuses begrenzt.Optionally, a damping unit 400 may be provided in front of the opening 300. The first volume 100 is bounded by the first surface 21 of the electroacoustic transducer 20 and by the first end 12 of the housing. The second volume 200 is limited by the second surface 22 of the electro-acoustic converter 20 and by the second end 1 1 of the housing.
Somit wird eine Schallwand (mit einem elektroakustischen Wandler) zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Volumen vorgesehen, welches eine Schließeinheit 30 aufweist, um damit eine Öffnung bzw. einen Bypass 300 zumindest teilweise verschließen zu können. Somit kann der akustische Widerstand zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Volumen 100, 200 erhöht werden. Durch Verschieben der Schließeinheit kann der akustische Widerstand verringert werden. Somit kann eine verstärkte Auslöschung im tieffrequenten Bereich auftreten und der wiedergegebene Frequenzgang kann bassärmer werden.Thus, a baffle (with an electro-acoustic transducer) is provided between the first and second volumes, which has a closing unit 30 in order to at least partially close an opening or a bypass 300. Thus, the acoustic resistance between the first and second volumes 100, 200 can be increased. By moving the closing unit, the acoustic resistance can be reduced. Thus, an increased extinction in the low-frequency range may occur and the reproduced frequency response may be lower bass.
Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Hörer hat der Nutzer bzw. der Anwender die Möglichkeit, die Wiedergabecharakteristik des Hörers zu verändern. Dazu werden keine elektronischen Bauteile benötigt, da dies beispielsweise durch eine Schließeinheit 30 implementiert werden kann. Die Schließeinheit 30 kann beispielsweise durch einen Schieber realisiert werden. Alternativ bzw. zusätzlich dazu kann die Schließeinheit derart ausgestaltet sein, dass die Öffnung mittels einer Drehbewegung zumindest teilweise verschlossen werden kann. Fig. 2 zeigt einen Graphen eines Frequenzganges des Hörers gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. In Fig. 2 sind vier Frequenzgänge gezeigt. Die Frequenzgänge 1 und 2 stellen die Frequenzgänge bei verschlossenem oder offenem Bypass 300 dar. Insbesondere im Bereich zwischen 100 und 300 Hz sind die Unterschiede zwischen geöffnetem und verschlossenem Bypass zu sehen. Die Frequenzgänge 3 und 4 stellen ebenfalls die Frequenzgänge bei verschlossenem und geöffnetem Bypass dar.By the listener according to the invention, the user or the user has the opportunity to change the reproduction characteristics of the listener. For this purpose, no electronic components are needed, since this can be implemented, for example, by a closing unit 30. The closing unit 30 can be realized for example by a slider. Alternatively or additionally, the closing unit can be designed such that the opening can be at least partially closed by means of a rotary movement. 2 shows a graph of a frequency response of the listener according to the first embodiment. In Fig. 2, four frequency responses are shown. The frequency responses 1 and 2 represent the frequency responses with closed or open bypass 300. In particular in the range between 100 and 300 Hz, the differences between open and closed bypass can be seen. Frequency responses 3 and 4 also represent the frequency responses for closed and opened bypass.

Einheiten aufweisen. Ferner sind eine x- und eine y-Achse gezeigt. Gemäß dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel wirkt die Schließeinheit 30 zumindest teilweise nach dem Prinzip eines Bassröhrchens, wobei das vordere Volumen 100 über das Loch 53 in den Kapselhalter 50 mit dem hinteren Volumen 200 verbunden ist. Die Länge des Bassröhrchens kann durch das zweite Element 33, insbesondere mittels des Durchgangsloches 33 und der Ausnehmung 33a vorgesehen werden. Durch das erste Element 32 und dessen Ausnehmung bzw. Loch 32c, welches sich über der Ausnehmung 33a befindet, kann durch Drehen des ersten Elementes 32 bzw. durch Drehen der Schraube 31 die Länge des Bassröhrchens variiert werden. Die Ausgestaltung der Schiebeeinheit gemäß dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorteilhaft, da auf kleinstem Raum ein Bassröhr- chen mit variabler Länge ermöglicht wird.Fig. 7 shows a schematic sectional view of a receiver according to the second embodiment. The receiver has a housing 10 with a first end 1 1 and a second end 12. Furthermore, a capsule holder 50 is shown with a transducer capsule 20 at its first end 51 and a closing unit 30 at the second end 52 of the capsule holder. The transducer capsule 12 is provided between the first and second ends 11, 12 of the housing, so that a first volume 100 between a first side of the transducer capsule and the second end 12 of the housing and a second volume 200 between the second side of the transducer capsule and the first end 11 of the housing is provided. The closing unit preferably has the screw 32, and the first and second elements 32, 33. The closing unit can furthermore have the elements or units shown in FIGS. 3 to 6. Further, an x and a y axis are shown. According to the second embodiment, the closing unit 30 acts at least partially on the principle of a bass tube, wherein the front volume 100 is connected via the hole 53 in the capsule holder 50 with the rear volume 200. The length of the bass tube can be provided by the second element 33, in particular by means of the through-hole 33 and the recess 33a. Through the first element 32 and its recess or hole 32c, which is located above the recess 33a, the length of the bass tube can be varied by turning the first element 32 or by turning the screw 31. The embodiment of the sliding unit according to the second exemplary embodiment is advantageous, since a bass tube with a variable length is made possible in the smallest space.
Die Schraube kann optional von außerhalb des Gehäuses betätigt werden, so dass ein Anwender die Basswidergabe selber (von außen) einstellen kann. The screw can optionally be operated from outside the enclosure, allowing a user to adjust the bass response itself (from the outside).
