Description

  The present invention relates to speaker diaphragms used in various audio equipment and video equipment, speakers using the same, electronic equipment such as stereo sets and television sets, and devices such as automobiles.

  In the recent audio industry and the automobile industry equipped with audio equipment, the quality of sound reproduced from speakers has improved dramatically due to the widespread use of digital equipment.

  The main trends for speakers in these industries are higher sound quality and smaller size.

  In this improvement in sound quality, in order to realize the sound quality requirement that is the user's needs, it is urgent to develop a diaphragm that is a component of a loud speaker that determines the sound quality.

  The development of this diaphragm is proceeding mainly with the papermaking diaphragm because it has the advantage that the sound quality can be controlled with higher accuracy.

  Kraft pulp obtained from a softwood tree through a beating process has been used as the pulp used as a material for these papermaking diaphragms.

  In addition, in miniaturization and compactness, the external shape of the speaker is any one of a rectangular shape, a rectangular shape, a track shape, an elliptical shape, and the like, so that the set can be reduced in size and size.

  Therefore, it is necessary to make the outer shape of the diaphragm used for these speakers into a slim shape such as a rectangular shape, a rectangular shape, a track shape, and an elliptical shape.

  In the future, it is required to improve the performance of diaphragms and speakers having these slim external shapes.

For example, Patent Document 1 is known as prior art document information relating to the invention of this application.
JP 63-126400 A

  Paper-making diaphragms, centered on paper diaphragms made of kraft pulp obtained from conifers, tend to be less rigid on the material than diaphragms made of metal or resin materials. It was what had.

  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 solves the above-mentioned problem, and even if the outer shape of the diaphragm is a rectangular shape, a rectangular shape, a track shape, or an elliptical shape, the material rigidity is improved, and a deep bass sound with a low frequency range is tightened. The purpose is to provide a loudspeaker diaphragm that not only provides clear sound quality with reduced resonance due to the lack of specific diaphragm rigidity, but also enables higher output and higher reliability. is there.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention reduces the beating degree of a material to a microfibril state, and beats the beaten fibers among the beaten fibers and the fine fibers grown in a feather shape from the surface of the beaten fibers. The paper is made with a material that strengthens the entanglement of fine fibers grown like a feather from the surface of the beaten fiber, and has a rectangular shape, rectangular shape, track shape, or elliptical shape. This is a speaker diaphragm.

  By adopting this configuration, the degree of beating of the material is reduced to the microfibril state and the paper is made by strengthening the entanglement of the fibers, thereby improving the entanglement with other materials and sufficient rigidity as a diaphragm for a speaker. And toughness can be given.

  With the speaker diaphragm, the material rigidity of the diaphragm can be improved.

  As described above, the present invention reduces the beating degree of a material to a microfibril state, and also beats the beaten fibers and the fine fibers grown in a feather shape from the surface of the beaten fibers. In addition, the vibration for a speaker having a rectangular shape, rectangular shape, track shape, or elliptical shape is made by making a paper containing a material that strengthens the entanglement of fine fibers grown like a feather from the surface of the beaten fiber. Clear sound quality that is composed of a plate, improves the rigidity and toughness of the diaphragm, and Young's modulus, and reduces resonance caused by the tightness of the bass in the low frequency range and the lack of vibration plate rigidity specific to the high frequency range In addition, it is possible to realize a loudspeaker diaphragm that can achieve high output and high reliability.

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

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of a speaker diaphragm according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a frame and an outer shape of the diaphragm suitable for downsizing and downsizing of a set of a television, an audio and the like. It is a speaker diaphragm having a track shape.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reference numeral 27 represents a beaten fiber among the beaten fibers and fine fibers grown in a feather shape from the beaten fiber surface while reducing the beating degree of the material to a microfibril state. More specifically, the speaker diaphragm having a track-shaped outer shape is formed by making a paper including a material in which the entanglement of fine fibers grown in a feather shape from the beaten fiber surface is reinforced.

  Here, the outer shape of the diaphragm has been described in the case of the track shape, but it can also be applied to a speaker diaphragm having any one of a rectangular shape, a rectangular shape, and an elliptical shape.

  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.

  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 is highly effective in improving the rigidity of the diaphragm, and bamboo fiber is easy to reduce the beating degree to the 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 materials used for the papermaking diaphragm for speakers are mainly coniferous trees, which are spurring 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 application to speaker papermaking diaphragm for speakers, although it has been tackled with bamboo and younger ones within the age of 1 year of bamboo because of the ease of defibration of bamboo fiber, it has been effective to some extent. It did not reach the center of the papermaking diaphragm for use.

  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.

  As for papermaking technology, a new material beating technology has been developed, and it has become possible to form paper on a diaphragm that takes advantage of the features of materials that were previously considered difficult.

  From the above background, details of the speaker diaphragm including the bamboo fibers 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 the diaphragm and the Young's modulus.

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

  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.

  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.

  On the other hand, it is possible to reproduce deep bass with good tightening even in the bass range.

  As a whole, it is possible to obtain excellent sound quality with high clarity and good sound image localization with a clear outline.

  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, it is possible to improve the sound quality of the speaker using this diaphragm, and to increase the output and reliability.

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

  In addition, this speaker diaphragm can be further mixed with bamboo fiber material having a higher beating degree to further exhibit the original features of bamboo fiber.

  Here, the bamboo fiber material having a higher beating degree preferably has an average fiber diameter of 5 μm or more and 30 μm or less.

  Furthermore, by configuring the bamboo fiber having an average fiber diameter of 5 μm or more and 30 μm or less to be 40 wt% or more, the original performance of the bamboo fiber can be remarkably exhibited.

  Here, when the average fiber diameter is smaller than 5 μm, the above-described microfibril state is obtained and the cost becomes very high.

  On the other hand, if the thickness is larger than 30 μm, the original features of the bamboo fiber are hardly exhibited.

  Similarly, if the content ratio of bamboo fiber is less than 40 wt%, the original features of bamboo fiber are hardly exhibited.

  Furthermore, even if materials other than bamboo fiber are included, by combining with a material in which the beating degree of bamboo fiber is reduced to a microfibril state, the binding strength is enhanced and the features of bamboo fiber can be exhibited.

  Of course, it may be mixed with the coniferous tree, which is the main material of the conventional papermaking diaphragm, and the bond strength is enhanced and the features of bamboo fiber can be exhibited.

  When a material other than bamboo fiber is included, the original performance of the bamboo fiber can be remarkably exhibited by configuring the bamboo fiber to include 40 wt% or more.

  And about the microfibrillated bamboo fiber whose average fiber diameter is smaller than 5 μm, the content of 0.5 wt% or more and 20 wt% or less improves the entanglement with other materials, and the bonding strength between the materials is improved. The physical property value of the diaphragm containing higher bamboo fibers can be improved.

  Here, when the microfibrillated bamboo fiber having an average fiber diameter of less than 5 μm is less than 0.5 wt%, the original binding force is not exhibited, whereas when it is more than 20 wt%, the cost is very high. Become.
