  A papermaking diaphragm generally has a tendency to have lower rigidity on the material than a diaphragm made of a metal material or a resin material.

  For this reason, it is difficult to improve the material rigidity of conventional paper diaphragms. Speakers using this diaphragm can reproduce high clarity, which is one of the improvements in sound quality, increase output, and have high reliability. It had a problem that it was disadvantageous for conversion.

  This problem is further disadvantageous when the outer shape of the diaphragm is rectangular, rectangular, track, or elliptical, because there are parts where the rigidity of the diaphragm is further reduced. I had it.

  The present invention provides a diaphragm reinforcing piece for a speaker that solves the above-mentioned problems, reinforces the rigidity of the diaphragm, achieves high sound quality as a speaker, and can achieve high output and high reliability. It is the purpose.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises a diaphragm reinforcing piece for a loudspeaker made of paper containing a material whose beating degree is reduced to a microfibril state.

  With this configuration, the entanglement of the material can be improved, and sufficient rigidity and toughness can be provided as a speaker diaphragm reinforcing piece.

  Then, by combining this with a part or the entire surface of the speaker diaphragm, the material rigidity of the speaker diaphragm can be improved.

  As described above, the present invention comprises a material for which the beating degree is reduced to a microfibril state to make a speaker diaphragm reinforcing piece by making paper, thereby improving the entanglement of the material and improving the vibration for the speaker. Sufficient rigidity and toughness can be secured as a plate reinforcing piece.

  Then, by combining this with a part or the entire surface of the speaker diaphragm, the material rigidity of the speaker diaphragm can be improved.

  Therefore, the rigidity, toughness, and Young's modulus of the diaphragm can be improved, the sound quality of the speaker using the diaphragm reinforcing piece can be improved, and the output can be increased and the reliability can be increased.

  Furthermore, the present invention can provide a diaphragm reinforcing piece for a speaker that is inexpensive and friendly to the global environment.

(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, the first, second, and third aspects of the present invention will be described using the first embodiment.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of a speaker diaphragm reinforcing piece according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes a speaker diaphragm reinforcing piece made of paper containing a material whose beating degree is reduced to a microfibril state.

  The reinforcing piece is coupled to a part or the entire surface of the speaker diaphragm to reinforce the speaker diaphragm.

  By making a paper including a material whose beating degree is reduced to a microfibril state, it is possible to improve the entanglement of the material and to secure sufficient rigidity and toughness as a diaphragm reinforcing piece for a speaker.

  In addition, because it is made of paper, it is lighter and has higher internal loss than materials made of injection-molded resin or metal, so it reduces the weight of the speaker diaphragm and absorbs unnecessary resonance. Great effect.

  Therefore, the rigidity, toughness, and Young's modulus of the diaphragm can be improved, and the sound quality of the speaker using the diaphragm reinforcing piece can be improved to achieve higher sound pressure, higher output, and higher reliability.

  Furthermore, since this invention is comprised with the papermaking material which is a natural fiber, it can provide the diaphragm reinforcement piece for speakers which is cheap and friendly to the global environment.

  As described above, the speaker diaphragm reinforcing piece made of paper including the material whose beating degree is reduced to the microfibril state has been described, but a preferable state as the diaphragm reinforcing piece will be described below.

  While reducing the beating degree of the material to a microfibril state, the surface of the beaten fiber is less than the beaten fiber among the beaten fibers and the fine fibers grown in a feather shape from the beaten fiber surface. This is a loudspeaker diaphragm reinforcing piece made of paper containing a material in which the entanglement of fine fibers grown like a feather is reinforced.

  Here, in the microfibrillation, it is preferable that the average fiber diameter is smaller than 5 μm and that L / D (average fiber length / average fiber diameter) is 10 or more.

  The average fiber diameter of microfibrillation is preferably smaller, and by making it smaller, it becomes possible to improve fiber entanglement.

  Further, L / D (average fiber length / average fiber diameter) is also preferably larger, and by increasing it, it becomes possible to improve the entanglement of the fibers.

  The time required for beating is required to be long, but it is possible to achieve a greater effect by setting the beating degree to an average fiber diameter of 1 μm or less, or even 500 nm or less.

  When the average fiber diameter is larger than 5 μm, the force to reinforce the fiber entanglement tends to be insufficient.

  With the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to obtain a speaker diaphragm reinforcing piece made of paper containing a material in which the entanglement of fine fibers grown like a feather from the surface of the beaten fiber is strengthened rather than the beaten fiber, An even greater effect can be achieved as a plate reinforcement piece.

  Even if bamboo fiber is used as the material, a great effect can be exhibited.

  The reason for this is that bamboo fiber is a material that has a great effect on improving the rigidity of the diaphragm reinforcing piece, and bamboo fiber can be easily reduced to a microfibril state compared to other materials. This is because productivity can be improved.

  In addition, this bamboo fiber is a good material in terms of environment.

  Below, the background and the content of using bamboo fiber are explained in detail.

  At present, the material used as a papermaking diaphragm for a speaker or a reinforcing piece thereof is mainly coniferous trees, which spurs the shortage of coniferous trees in the world.

  On the other hand, because of its vigorous fertility and rapid growth, there are many kinds and quantities of bamboo in the world.

  Bamboo grows very fast compared to conifers, and those with a bamboo age of less than one year are poor in rigidity and lack toughness. , Have stable physical properties with toughness.

  Therefore, it has an advantage that the growth rate is an order of magnitude faster than that of conifers and can be used for food and the like as soon as it is born.

  In addition, it has the advantage that the original bamboo forest can be regenerated immediately after cutting, and it does not lead to a situation that adversely affects the global environment like cutting a coniferous forest.

  Rather, it would be desirable for the global environment to cut off bamboo forests that have increased too much to eliminate bamboo damage.

  Although these bamboos have been developed for a long time, their bamboo and younger ones that are less than one year old are often used for food and other purposes because of their softness and ease of processing. It was often used in the direction.

  However, because of the difficulty of processing due to its rigidity, it can only be found in some building materials and bamboo work, etc., because of the difficulty in processing due to its rigidity. Application development was urgent.

  As for the papermaking diaphragm for speakers and its application to reinforcement pieces, the bamboo fiber within the first year of bamboo and the level of younger babies are tackled because of the ease of defibration of bamboo fiber, and some effects are achieved. However, it has not reached the center of papermaking parts for speakers.

  The reason for this is that in order to bring out the characteristics of the original bamboo fiber, it is more than 1 year old and more rigid than the soft and easy-to-process bamboo and younger ones. It is effective to use the grown bamboo fiber that has high strength and toughness, but it has been technically difficult to disentangle the grown bamboo fiber well, so it can fully utilize the features of the original bamboo fiber This is because the diaphragm could not be produced and the trending sound quality requirement could not be satisfied.

  However, the development of fibers that replace conifers has become an issue due to recent global environmental problems such as desertification due to the lack of conifers.

  Also, with regard to papermaking technology, new material beating technology has been developed, and it has become possible to make papermaking on papermaking parts such as diaphragms and reinforcement pieces that take advantage of the features of materials that were previously considered difficult. It was.

  From the above background, the details of the diaphragm reinforcing piece for a speaker including the bamboo fiber will be described below.

  Bamboo fibers that have been grown for more than 1 year have a rigidity and a toughness, have a good compatibility with paper pulp, and can improve the rigidity and toughness of papermaking parts and the Young's modulus.

  By making the bamboo fiber small beating into a microfibril state and making paper, the entanglement can be further improved, sufficient rigidity and toughness can be given to the diaphragm reinforcing piece, and the Young's modulus can be improved.

  The bamboo fiber here is not particularly limited as long as it is a plant of the bamboo family, and it may be a bamboo that has grown and has grown for more than one year, except for bamboo shoots within the first year of the bamboo and pupae level.

  As for bamboo age, the rigidity and toughness required for the present invention can be secured at the minimum after 1 year or more, but if it is 2 years or more, the rigidity and toughness are further improved, and further 3 years or more. In the course of, the rigidity and toughness are further improved.

  As for the bamboo age, as described above, it is more preferable that the bamboo age is larger, except for the state of being old and decaying.

(Embodiment 2)
The invention according to claims 4, 5 and 6 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the second embodiment.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of a speaker diaphragm according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is a diaphragm for a track-type slim speaker.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the diaphragm reinforcing piece described in the first embodiment is coupled to two locations in the longitudinal direction of a track-type diaphragm.

  There are two locations where the diaphragm reinforcement pieces are joined, approximately the middle part between the longitudinal center and the outer periphery of the diaphragm. Normally, this shape of the diaphragm reinforces the part where unnecessary resonance is likely to occur. It is a combination of pieces.

  In this way, by connecting the reinforcing piece to a portion where the normal diaphragm is likely to generate unnecessary resonance, the size and weight of the reinforcing piece can be minimized and the unnecessary resonance can be effectively reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the reinforcing piece is coupled to the front surface of the diaphragm, but may be coupled to the back surface.

  By joining to the back surface, the reinforcing piece cannot be seen on the front side, that is, on the external appearance, so that the characteristics and sound quality of the speaker can be improved without deteriorating the appearance quality and without knowing the presence of the reinforcing piece.

  Although the present invention has been described with respect to a diaphragm for a track-type slim speaker, the present invention is not limited to this shape, and the diaphragm may have a circular shape.

  Further, in the speaker diaphragm having a rectangular shape, a rectangular shape, and an elliptical outer shape as the diaphragm for the track type slim speaker described above, there is a portion having low rigidity in the diaphragm. Since the influence of unnecessary resonance appears remarkably, the reinforcing piece according to the present invention is very effective in countermeasures against these resonances.

  Further, in the case where there are many parts having low rigidity on the diaphragm and the rigidity is insufficient on the whole, the reinforcing piece may be coupled to the entire surface of the diaphragm.

  As a sound quality feature, resonance due to insufficient diaphragm rigidity in the high sound range can be reduced, and clear sound quality can be obtained in the high sound range.

  In particular, in a diaphragm for a speaker having a rectangular shape, a rectangular shape, a track shape, or an elliptical shape as in the present invention, the diaphragm shape is not circular. Since the influence of the resonance appears remarkably, it is very effective in countermeasures against these resonances.

One end of the voice coil 10 is coupled to the central portion of the diaphragm 7 and the other end is coupled so as to fit into the magnetic gap 5 of the magnetic circuit 4.

  In the above, the speaker having the outer magnetic type magnetic circuit 4 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to a speaker having an inner magnetic type magnetic circuit.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to apply to a small speaker in which the diaphragm 7 and the edge 8 are integrated.

  With this configuration, as a sound quality feature, resonance due to insufficient diaphragm rigidity in the high sound range can be reduced, and clear sound quality can be obtained in the high sound range.

  Therefore, it is possible to develop a wide range of speaker sounds in various fields without selecting a field for supplying speakers.

  As another effect, the toughness of the diaphragm is improved, and the diaphragm can be excellent in terms of quality and reliability.

  Therefore, it is possible to improve the input resistance of the speaker using this diaphragm and various reliability typified by moisture resistance reliability.

  Therefore, the speaker can be excellent in terms of quality and reliability.

  Furthermore, it can greatly contribute to the environmental aspect.
