Description

  The present invention relates to a speaker provided on a ceiling surface of a room and a ceiling mounting structure of the speaker.

  With the recent reduction in prices of home projectors and large screen televisions, there have been seen examples in which a residence room equipped with audio / video equipment such as an audio room and a theater room is provided in the house. In addition, there is an increasing number of cases where a normal living room or the like is used as it is as a theater room without planning such a room dedicated to sound and video. The appeal of these theater rooms is that you can enjoy powerful images on a large screen, and arrange multiple speakers around the viewing position to enjoy movies and music in the atmosphere of a movie theater or music hall. It is possible to do.

  In a room equipped with such audio / video equipment, a plurality of speakers are suspended and placed on the side of the screen or on the floor of the rear. However, installing speakers on the floor in a limited living room, such as a house, or hanging multiple speakers from the ceiling may not only reduce the living space, but may be inferior in design as an interior. There are many cases where it is preferable to embed the speaker in the ceiling.

  Unlike ceiling-mounted speakers, ceiling-mounted speakers do not affect the interior of the room because they are stored in the ceiling pockets, and speaker cables are also stored in the ceiling pockets and walls and are not exposed. It has the advantage of being able to look very clean. However, an installation method is adopted in which an opening is made in the ceiling surface by hollowing out the base material such as a ceiling board, and the speaker is placed in the opening of the base material and fixed directly to the base material. There was a concern that the vibration generated by the sound propagates to the building frame through the base material, and this solid vibration sound leaks into the upper floors and adjacent rooms. Such leakage of sound into surrounding rooms not only annoys other residents, but also makes speaker users feel a psychological burden on other residents. There was an inconvenience that you could not enjoy the sound to the fullest.

  To solve such a problem of sound leakage, a method has been proposed in which the upper side of a speaker is enclosed by a soundproof cover such as a box shape or a curved surface in a ceiling pocket, thereby insulating the sound. Propagation to the ceiling base material, which cannot be blocked, causes vibrations on the entire ceiling surface, and the sound insulation effect cannot be expected so much. Also, in this way, installing a soundproof cover such as a box shape around the speaker in the ceiling pocket takes time and effort.

  For this reason, when the theater room or the like is widely used, when adopting a ceiling-embedded speaker with high design and sound effect, the transmission of vibration generated by the speaker is suppressed as much as possible, and the ceiling base material on which the speaker is attached There was a need for specific measures to prevent the traffic from passing through to the surrounding building and adjacent rooms.

As a speaker considered to suppress this type of vibration, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a structure in which a rubber spacer is interposed between a speaker and a housing. In this structure, the vibration of the speaker is absorbed by the rubber spacer, so that the vibration generated by the speaker is not easily transmitted to the housing.
JP-A-3-123153

  However, the structure of the speaker as in the above-described conventional example is that the entire speaker is enlarged by the amount of the rubber spacer, and if applied to a speaker provided on the ceiling surface, the speaker protrudes from the ceiling surface due to the thickness of the rubber spacer, etc. There is a problem that the installation form is not preferable in design, and the superiority of the speaker embedded in the ceiling is remarkably impaired. Also, the ceiling to which such a speaker is attached often uses gypsum board as a ceiling base material and cannot be subjected to heavy loads, so it must be a stable installation form without increasing the number of members. Was demanded.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in a ceiling-embedded speaker, has a structure in which generated vibrations do not propagate to an adjacent room or a building frame via a ceiling base material. The present invention provides a speaker and a speaker ceiling mounting structure that have both workability and design.

  To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a speaker ceiling mounting structure for fixing a speaker to a speaker mounting hole provided on a ceiling surface of a room, wherein the speaker has a speaker main body portion provided with a sound emitting portion at the bottom, and It has a flange part provided so as to overhang the bottom outer periphery of this speaker body part, and a vibration-proof member having vibration absorption performance is interposed between these speaker body part and flange part, The speaker body is fitted into the speaker mounting hole on the ceiling surface from the indoor side and placed in the back of the ceiling, and the flange is in contact with the indoor peripheral edge of the speaker mounting hole and fixed in a substantially flat mounting form on the ceiling surface. The sound emitting part is arranged on the ceiling surface facing the room, the flange part and the speaker body part are insulated by the vibration isolating member, and the speaker main body is The flange portion of the vibration occurring in parts and transfer to the roof surface, characterized in that it is suppressed.

  With this configuration, even when the speaker body vibrates during use of the speaker, it is possible to suppress the vibration from being transmitted to the flange portion and prevent the vibration from being propagated to the ceiling surface. Therefore, it is possible to prevent sound leakage to a room adjacent to the room provided with the speaker, an upper floor, or the like. Further, since the vibration isolating member is interposed between the speaker main body portion and the flange portion, it is possible to suppress a protruding amount of the speaker main body portion from the ceiling surface and form a flat ceiling surface. .

  Further, in the present invention, the vibration isolating member is formed with a single fitting groove on the inner periphery and the outer periphery, respectively, and the bottom outer peripheral edge portion of the speaker main body portion is formed on the inner periphery fitting groove. The inner peripheral edge of the flange portion is fitted and integrated with each other.

  By being configured in this way, the flange portion can be held and fixed to the speaker main body without increasing the number of parts with a simple structure, and these can be integrated without impairing the design. Become.

  Further, in the present invention, a fixing member suspended toward the flange portion is provided on a side surface of the speaker main body portion, and a second vibration isolating member having vibration absorption performance is disposed at the lower end portion of the fixing member. The fixing member and the flange portion sandwich the ceiling material constituting the ceiling surface from above and below to fix the speaker to the ceiling surface, and the second vibration isolating member interposed between the fixing member and the ceiling material, It is characterized in that transmission of vibration generated in the speaker main body to the ceiling material during sound emission is suppressed.

  With such a configuration, the speaker main body can be mounted so as to be stably held on the ceiling surface, and the fixing member does not directly contact the ceiling material, but the second vibration isolating member is interposed. Therefore, the vibration generated in the speaker main body can be attached so as not to be transmitted to the ceiling material.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, a positioning piece protrudes from the flange portion on the contact surface with the peripheral edge portion of the speaker mounting hole, and this positioning piece is arranged close to the opening edge of the speaker mounting hole. Thus, the mounting position of the speaker on the ceiling surface is determined, and the contact between the vibration isolating member interposed between the speaker main body portion and the flange portion and the ceiling material is avoided. .

  With this configuration, the positioning piece reliably separates the vibration isolating member from the ceiling material with respect to the vibration isolating member that insulates the speaker body portion and the flange portion attached to the ceiling material. Since insulation is performed so as not to come into contact with the material, it is possible to provide a mounting structure having a very high vibration proofing effect in which vibration generated in the speaker main body does not propagate to the ceiling material at all. Furthermore, with this positioning piece, when the speaker body is inserted into the speaker mounting hole, it is naturally placed in an appropriate installation position, and the mounting work of the speaker to the ceiling surface is facilitated. It becomes possible to implement the structure with good workability and stability.

  Further, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a speaker that is attached to a speaker mounting hole provided on a ceiling surface of a room, the speaker main body having a sound emitting part at the bottom, and the bottom of the speaker main body A flange portion is provided so as to project to the outer periphery, and a first vibration isolating member having vibration absorption performance is interposed between the speaker body portion and the flange portion, and the speaker body portion. Is equipped with a fixing member that can be raised and lowered with respect to the speaker body, and the fixing member and the flange portion sandwich the ceiling material constituting the ceiling surface from above and below, thereby fixing the speaker body to the ceiling surface. A second anti-vibration member having vibration absorption performance is disposed at the lower end portion of the fixing member, and the speaker body portion is placed in the speaker mounting hole on the ceiling surface. It is fitted from the inside and stored in the ceiling, and the flange is in contact with the indoor peripheral edge of the speaker mounting hole and fixed in a substantially flat mounting form with the ceiling surface. The first and second vibration isolating members are configured to insulate the speaker main body portion and the ceiling material when arranged in the case.

  By adopting such a configuration, the first vibration isolating member and the second vibration isolating member prevent the propagation of vibration between the speaker body and the ceiling material. Leakage can be prevented, and it can be installed without protruding from the ceiling even if it has such anti-vibration performance, so that it can obtain a high acoustic effect without impairing the design of the room. It becomes possible.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, vibration generated in a ceiling-embedded speaker can be structured not to propagate to an adjacent room or a building frame, and can be stably held under good workability. Realize the structure and speaker can be installed in a mounting form that is almost flat with the ceiling surface, so as to create an acoustic space where you can fully enjoy music and video without sacrificing the design of the interior of the room Is possible.

  The best mode for carrying out a speaker and a ceiling mounting structure for a speaker according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a speaker and a ceiling mounting structure of the speaker of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a top view of the ceiling to which the speaker is attached.

  In the living room 10 for carrying out the present invention, a ceiling surface 102 is formed by arranging a ceiling material 102 on the ceiling. The ceiling material 102 is finished by, for example, cross-stretching a ceiling base material such as a gypsum board. A circular speaker mounting hole 103 is formed in the ceiling surface 101 (ceiling material 102), and the speaker 1 can be mounted in the speaker mounting hole 103.

  The speaker 1 in this form has a speaker body 2. The speaker main body 2 is provided with a detachable speaker cover 21 at the bottom, and a sound emitting part 22 is provided inside so as to emit sound through the speaker cover 21. In addition, a speaker cable (not shown) or the like is disposed outside the speaker body 2 so as to be electrically connected.

  A flange portion 3 is provided on the bottom portion of the speaker main body portion 2 so as to project in a bowl shape on the outer periphery thereof. Between the speaker main body 2 and the flange 3, a first vibration isolation member 4 a having vibration absorption performance is interposed.

  The first vibration isolation member 4a is made of an elastic material capable of absorbing vibration generated in the speaker main body 2. For example, a synthetic rubber material such as soft rubber or a synthetic resin material such as vinyl chloride resin or silicon resin is used. It is a molded member made of a material, and is attached in an annular shape along the outer periphery of the speaker body 2. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the first vibration isolating member 4a is formed with a single fitting groove 41, 42 on the inner periphery and outer periphery, respectively, and has a substantially I-shaped cross section (or a substantially H-shaped cross section). It is configured as follows. Then, the outer peripheral edge of the bottom portion of the speaker body 2 is fitted into the inner peripheral fitting groove 41, and the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 3 is fitted into the outer peripheral fitting groove 42 to be held and fixed. The speaker main body 2 and the flange 3 are integrated.

  Further, a positioning piece 31 protrudes from the flange portion 3 on the contact surface with the ceiling surface 101. The positioning piece 31 is arranged in correspondence with the opening edge (inner circumference) of the speaker mounting hole 103 on the ceiling surface 101. That is, the positioning piece 31 is provided in a ring shape on the contact surface of the flange portion 3, and the outer diameter of the positioning piece 31 is formed to be approximately equal to or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the speaker mounting hole 103. It is formed so that it may be just inserted in the inner periphery of the. The inner periphery of the positioning piece 31 is disposed so as not to contact the first vibration isolation member 4a.

  In the speaker 1, such a positioning piece 31 is disposed in the vicinity of the opening edge of the speaker mounting hole 103, whereby the mounting position of the speaker 1 on the ceiling surface 101 is naturally determined and the first vibration isolation The member 4a and the ceiling material 102 are completely separated from each other so as not to contact each other, so that transmission of vibration due to contact between the members 4a and the ceiling material 102 can be avoided reliably.

  Further, the speaker 1 includes a fixing member 5 on the side surface of the speaker body 2. It is preferable that the fixing member 5 is provided on the side surface of the speaker main body 2 evenly at four locations so as to face each other. Each fixing member 5 is formed so as to hang from the side surface of the speaker main body 2 toward the contact surface of the flange portion 3.

  The fixing member 5 is characterized in that a second vibration isolating member 4b having vibration absorption performance is disposed at the lower end. The second vibration isolating member 4b is made of an elastic material that can absorb vibration generated in the speaker main body 2 in the same manner as the first vibration isolating member 4a. It is preferably formed of a molded member made of a synthetic resin material such as vinyl resin or silicon resin.

  Further, each fixing member 5 is preferably formed so as to be able to appear and retract with respect to the speaker body 2. More specifically, the fixing member 5 that is formed in a substantially L-shape and includes the second vibration isolating member 4 at the lower end thereof can be rotated with respect to a recess (not shown) on the side surface of the speaker body 2. The state shown in FIG. 1 shows a state where the fixing member 5 housed in the recess is rotated so as to protrude from the side surface of the speaker body 2. In this way, the fixing member 5 and the flange portion 3 projecting from the side surface of the speaker body 2 sandwich the ceiling material 102 constituting the ceiling surface 101 from above and below, so that the speaker body 2 is supported and fixed to the ceiling surface 101. It has come to be.

  The fixing member 5 is not limited to the illustrated form, and may be any plate provided with the second vibration isolating member 4 b and suspended from the flange portion 3, and a plate protruding from the side surface of the speaker main body portion 2. The flange portion 3 may be pressed and locked by a spring material, or may be constituted by a clamping piece or the like that protrudes obliquely from the side surface toward the flange portion 3.

  The speaker 1 having such a structure is electrically connected to the speaker 1 through a speaker mounting hole 103 that has been opened in advance at the speaker installation position on the ceiling surface 101, and the speaker body 2 is inserted from the indoor side. Attached. At the time of this attachment, the respective fixing members 5 of the speaker main body 2 are inserted into the speaker attachment holes 103 from below while being accommodated in the side recesses. Further, if the fixing member 5 is a leaf spring material, it may be inserted using its spring elasticity. At this time, the speaker body 2 is inserted into the speaker mounting hole 103 with the speaker cover 21 removed.

  Next, a screw (not shown) is screwed from the inside of the speaker main body 2 so that the fixing member 5 protrudes from the side surface and is brought into contact with the upper surface of the ceiling material 102 and tightened. As a result, the ceiling member 102 is sandwiched from above and below with the fixing member 5 being pressed from above and the contact surface of the flange portion 3 being applied from below. At the same time, the speaker body 2 is fixed to the ceiling surface 101.

  When the mounting work such as screw tightening from the inside of the speaker body 2 is finished, the speaker cover 21 is attached to the bottom of the speaker body 2. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the speaker 1 is attached and fixed to the ceiling surface 101, and the sound emitting unit 22 is disposed facing the room.

  The speaker 1 is attached to a ceiling material 102, but the speaker main body 2 and the flange 3 are insulated by a first vibration isolation member 4a. The first vibration isolation member 4a and the ceiling material 102 are separated from each other. Is insulated by being separated by the positioning piece 31, and the second vibration isolating member 4 b at the lower end of the fixing member 5 protruding from the speaker main body 2 is interposed between the ceiling member 102 and insulated. Thereby, the vibration which arises in the speaker main-body part 2 is absorbed by these anti-vibration members 4a and 4b, and it has the attachment structure which does not propagate to the ceiling material 102 at all. Therefore, when the sound of the speaker 1 is emitted, vibrations that may cause noise effects are not transmitted from the ceiling material 102 to the adjacent room or the building frame, minimizing the influence on the living environment of other rooms, It can contribute to the formation of a space for enjoying music and the like without having a psychological burden.

  Moreover, by being comprised as mentioned above, the substantially flat ceiling surface 101 can be formed, suppressing the protrusion dimension from the ceiling surface 101 in the speaker 1. For this reason, even if a plurality of speakers 1 are installed on the ceiling surface 101, a comfortable acoustic space can be formed without impairing the design of the room interior. In addition, the installation of the speaker 1 is easy, and the speaker main body 2 is inserted so that the positioning piece 31 of the flange 3 is located close to the opening edge of the speaker mounting hole 103 and is fixed by the fixing member 5. Even without complicated construction work, it can be installed at an appropriate mounting position while being completely separated so that the ceiling material 102 and the first vibration isolating member 4a do not come into contact with each other. Based on the workability, a stable holding structure and vibration-proof structure can be realized.

  In addition, the speaker 1 is not only one place on the ceiling surface 101 of the living room but also a plurality of places, for example, the ceiling of the living room. It may be arranged at a total of five locations to constitute a 5.1ch surround system, and it is possible to obtain a sound effect with a higher sound quality and full of presence. In addition, a soundproof cover having an appropriate shape may be attached to the back side of the speaker 1 to enhance sound insulation in the ceiling and realize a more effective acoustic environment.

It is sectional drawing which shows the speaker and ceiling mounting structure of a speaker of this invention. It is a top view of the ceiling to which the speaker according to the present invention is attached.
