Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、構造が簡単、小型、軽量であって、且つ高次振動波の乗りやすい形状により、能率よく超高周波音を、良好な周波数特性並びに指向特性で、広帯域で再生する圧電型のスピーカの構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
圧電型発音体は従来、構造的に2種類に大別されるが、いずれも電気−機械振動変換機構としては、図21に示す従来例1のごとく、電極を兼ねた金属板2aの片面に圧電セラミック薄板2bを貼着し、他の面にもう一方の電極板2cを貼着した、周知の構造のユニモルフ型の圧電素子2’、あるいは、図22に示す従来例2のごとく、前記金属板2aの他の面に別の圧電セラミック薄板2bと電極板2cを形成したバイモルフ型の圧電素子2が使用されている。
【0003】
従来の発音体としてのスピーカユニットの構造の一例は、前記圧電素子2又は圧電素子2’を直接振動板として利用するものであるが、圧電素子そのままでは変換能率が低いので、図21に示す従来例1の構造では、圧電素子2’の前面に当該圧電素子2’の共振周波数に等しい共振周波数を有し、且つ放音穴5aが形成された共鳴器5が結合され、当該共振周波数の音を共鳴によって増幅し、変換能率を高めている。
【0004】
上記の圧電型発音体は、単一の周波数の音を放射するには,小型でありながら比較的能率は高いが再生周波数帯域が狭く、スピーカとして広帯域の音声を再生するには適当でないので、この様な欠点を解消する目的で、図22に示す従来例2の発音体即ち圧電型スピーカが実用化されている。その構造を同図で説明すると、周縁部がフレーム6により支持されている円錐形振動板7の頂点部に圧電素子2が取付けられており、圧電素子2に金属板2aに接続された導線21a,及び電極板2cに接続した導線21bを通じて電気信号が印加されると、圧電素子2は面に垂直方向に屈曲振動をし、反動によってコーン形振動板7が振動して音響を放射する。この構造であると音響エネルギーはコーン形振動板7から直接放射されるので変換能率は若干高くなり、又、前面に共鳴器が無いので再生帯域も広くなって、スピーカとして使用する事が可能となる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のうち、図21に示す従来例1は、単一周波数の音を放射するのみであるから、狭帯域の信号音発生器としては使用可能であるが、スピーカとして使用するには適当でない。
【0006】
図22に示した従来例2は、或る程度音域再生用のスピーカとして使用可能であるが、音を放射するコーン形振動板7が、従来から質量制御の帯域で使用することを目的としているので比較的剛性が高く、圧電素子2と共に一体となって振動するため最低共振周波数では或る程度高能率で再生するが、それ以上の周波数帯域では振動系の質量が増加しているため能率は低く、高域共振周波数以上の帯域では更に著しく能率が低下するので、実質的には最低共振周波数のみをハイレベルで再生し、それ以外の帯域は周波数特性が平坦でなく、しかも再生音域があまり広くないと言う欠点があった。
【0007】
そこで本発明は、上記従来例に付する欠点を解消するべく、振動板の形状と、当該振動板と圧電素子との結合構造、及び振動板、圧電素子のフレームへの取り付け構造に工夫改良を加え、周波数特性が平坦で、能率よく広帯域を再生する、製造コストの低廉な圧電型スピーカを提供する事を目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するための本発明に係る圧電型スピーカについて、第1発明を示す図1〜図3、及び第2発明を示す図12〜図13をもとに説明すると、
第1発明は、平行方向に隣接した辺を接合して接合部11aとした複数の樋状湾曲面1a,1b,…で構成され、前記の接合した接合部11aの反対側の外辺部11b,11bでフレーム3に接着して取付けられているフィルム状の振動板1と、周辺部をフレーム3に接着して支持されたバイモルフ型又はユニモルフ型の圧電素子2とからなり、前記振動板1の接合部11aが前記圧電素子2に接着結合されている圧電型スピーカユニット10からなることを特徴とする圧電型スピーカである。
【0009】
第2発明は、平行方向に隣接した辺を接合して接合部11aとした複数の樋状湾曲面1a,1b,…で構成され、前記の接合した接合部11aの反対側の外辺部11b,11bでフレーム3に接着して取付けられているフィルム状の振動板1と、周辺部をフレーム3に接着して支持されたバイモルフ型又はユニモルフ型の圧電素子2とからなり、前記振動板1の複数の樋状湾曲面1a,1b,…の外辺部11bと接合部(11a)間及び樋状湾曲面相互の接合部11a間の幅と湾曲深さとが夫々異なった大きさであり、前記振動板1の接合部11aが前記圧電素子2に接着結合されている圧電型スピーカユニット20からなることを特徴とする圧電型スピーカである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の態様】
そして、この様な構成の圧電型スピーカでは、通常の円形振動板に比して、音波の放射方向から見て面積占積率の良好な方形の振動板1を採用しているため、全音域にわたって音圧が向上し、特に最低共振周波数近傍の帯域を高能率で再生することが出来る。
【0011】
又、図1〜図3に示す本第1発明に属する実施例1のスピーカユニット10の振動板1が圧電素子2と結合されている接合部11aの立上がり角αは急峻であるから振動方向に対し剛性が大きく、高域共振周波数が高くなって再生周波数帯域を高い方へ広くする作用を有すると共に、円錐形振動板に於ける点接合とは異なって、圧電素子2との結合部は線状で大面積であるため、電気音響変換能率が向上し、高域共振周波数即ち再生帯域の高域限界周波数に於いても再生レベルは高くなる。且つ、製造コストの低廉な、音色の優れた圧電型スピーカとなる。
【0012】
更に、振動板1が樋状湾曲面形状であるため振動板の傾斜角は前記接合部11aの立上がり角αから振動板周辺方向に向かって連続的に変化し、しかも樋状湾曲面の長手方向部位が同位相で振動するので、円錐形状の場合と比較して前記最低共振周波数と高域共振周波数との間の帯域でも連続してハイレベルで再生することが可能である。又、指向特性も単体のスピーカユニットの場合、振動板の接合部11aに直角方向にブロードになる。
【0013】
又、図12〜図13に示す本第2発明に属する実施例2のスピーカユニツト20は、平行方向に隣接した辺を接合して接合部11aとした複数の樋状湾曲面1d,1e,1fで構成され、前記の接合した接合部11aの反対側の外辺部11b,11bでフレーム3に接着して取付けられているフィルム状の振動板1と、周辺部をフレーム3に接着して支持されたバイモルフ型又はユニモルフ型の圧電素子2とからなり、振動板1の3分割された樋状湾曲面の両端の樋状湾曲面1d及び樋状湾曲面1fの寸法を大きく、中央の樋状湾曲面1eの寸法を樋状湾曲面1d、樋状湾曲面1fより小さく採つて、各湾曲面の音圧周波数特性を変化させている。この場合中心の樋状湾曲面1eの輻射音を他の樋状湾曲面1d,1fの輻射音より高い音域とすることができる。一方、寸法の大きい両端の樋状湾曲面1d及び樋状湾曲面1fは放射面積が大きいので低音域再生に適しているので、全体として広帯域の再生音が得られる。尚、各実施例は接合部11aを圧電素子2の面に直接に結合させているが、実施例1の変形例は、振動板1が、接合部11aの中間点に於いて、結合ロッド4により外周縁部がフレーム3に固定された圧電素子2の中心に結合されている。周辺固定の圧電素子は円形膜類似のモードで振動し、直径に沿って拘束されることがないので能率よく振動し、特に中心部は最大振幅となる。従ってこの実施例は電気音響変換能率が高くなる。
【0014】
その上、前述した第1発明の振動板の特徴である、高域共振周波数が高くなって再生周波数帯域を高い方へ広くする作用、及び最低共振周波数と高域共振周波数との間の帯域でも連続してハイレベルで再生する作用、並びに指向特性も単体のスピーカユニットの場合、振動板の接合部11aに直角方向にブロードになるという作用を併せ持つと共に、更に製造コストの低廉な、音色の優れた変換能率が高い圧電型スピーカを提供するという特徴を有する。
【0015】
図20に、前記の本第1発明実施例1の圧電型スピーカユニツトの周波数特性を示す。表示されているとおり、再生周波数帯域は、代表的に図示した第3次調波により、通常の高音用スピーカの最高限界の20KHzよりも遥かに高い50KHzの高域周波数まで再生できるので、複合型スピーカのトゥィーターに用いられる。
【0016】
【実施例】
本発明圧電型スピーカの実施例並びに変形例の構成を図1〜図18により詳述する。図1は実施例1の上面図、図2は側面の断面図、図3は実施例1の斜視図、図4は変形例の側面一部断面図、図5は上面図、図6は同じく変形例の他の側面の一部断面図、図7は実施例1の製造工程を示す分解図、図8は実施例1、実施例2の振動板の成形金型の模式斜視図、図9は実施例1の他の製造工程分解図である。
【0017】
又、図10は本発明の上記実施例1の他の変形例の一つの上面図、図11はその側面図、図12は本発明スピーカの実施例2の上面図、図13はその側面図であり、更に、前記実施例1、実施例2並びにその変形例を使用した、各種の応用例として、図14は平面の表裏両面に夫々直角に向きを変えて取り付けたスピーカの外観図、図15はその分解斜視図、図16は平面の同一平面上に夫々直角に向きを変えて取り付けたスピーカの外観図、図17はその上面図、図18は本発明スピーカユニットを放射状四角面の外側に同一方向に取り付けたスピーカの上面図、図19は本発明スピーカユニットを放射状三角面の外側に同一方向に取り付けたスピーカの上面図である。
【0018】
実施例1の圧電型スピーカユニット10の構造を示す図1〜図3、並びに分解した状態を示す図7において、1は本発明スピーカの振動板で、本実施例では厚さ38ミクロンのポリイミド又はポリエーテルイミドフィルムAの外形を方形に切り抜いて、接合部11aとなる中心線を中心にして折り曲げ(B)、両側を樋状湾曲面1a,1bに隣接して必要あれば加熱して整形する。しかして、両端縁に外辺部11b、11bを成形する(C)。
【0019】
又は、前記したフィルムAを、図8に示した熱押し金型25,26によって押圧して加熱成型し、周囲をカットして成形したものを2枚、単体の樋状湾曲面1a,1bとして製作し、図9に示すとおり、別工程で接合部11aとなる端縁を接着剤で接着し、その両端縁に外辺部11b、11bを成形して得ることが出来る。更に、前記した熱押し金型25,26の押し形状を、前記図7の振動板1の形状(C)のごとく、両側を樋状湾曲面1a,1bに隣接してワンショットで押圧成型することもできる。
【0020】
本発明スピーカのバイモルフ型の圧電素子2(又はユニモルフ型の圧電素子2’であっても可)の中心を通る線上に、前記振動板1の接合部11aが全長に亙って接着されている。従って、圧電素子2との結合部は線状で、接合面積が大であるため、高域共振周波数即ち再生帯域の高域限界周波数においても再生レベルは高くなる。圧電素子2は、フレーム3を構成する外枠3aの内側に具備されている取付け枠3bと押え枠3cとに挟持された状態で、当該フレーム3に取り付けられている。
【0021】
又、振動板1が樋状湾曲面形状であるため振動板1の傾斜角は、前記接合部11aの立上がり角αから頂部迄連続的に変化し、しかも樋状湾曲面の長手方向部位が同位相で振動するので、円錐形状の場合と比較して前記最低共振周波数と高域共振周波数との間の帯域でも連続してハイレベルで再生することが可能である。従ってこの間の周波数特性は高いレベルで平坦となる。前記したごとく、圧電素子2と結合されている接合部11aの立上がり角αは急峻であるから振動方向に対し剛性が大きく、振動板1が複数の樋状湾曲面1a,1bで構成されているので、その高域共振周波数が高くなって再生周波数帯域が広くなる。
【0022】
また、音波の輻射方向から見て、方形の振動板1を採用しているため、同一外形寸法(方形の一片の長さ=円形の直径)の場合振動板面積が大きく、最低共振周波数近傍の帯域で従来の円形(円錐形)振動板のスピーカよりも高能率で再生することが出来る。
【0023】
さらに、本発明スピーカに使用される振動板1は、方形の振動板を得るに際し、円錐形の振動板とする場合より製造が容易である。又、外形寸法(直径と一辺)が同一とした場合、音の放射方向から見た音響放射面の単位面積当たりの価格は相対的に安価である。
【0024】
図4〜図6に構造を示す変形例の圧電型スピーカユニットは、振動板1、圧電素子2、フレーム3は前記実施例1と同形状であるが、振動板1が、接合部11aに於て結合ロッド4を介して圧電素子2の中心に結合されている点が異なる。この変形例は、振動板1が圧電素子2の最も振幅が大きい部位によって駆動されるため、変換能率が高い特徴を有する。
【0025】
図10、図11は他の変形例の正面図及び側面断面図である。この変形例の振動板1は、樋状湾曲面1a、樋状湾曲面1b及び樋状湾曲面1cの3つの樋状湾曲面からなり、夫々の樋状湾曲面の長さ、幅、曲率半径は同一で、従って各湾曲面の音圧周波数特性がいずれも等しい振動板1であって、大きな出力を発する圧電型スピーカとして好適である。この振動板1は2箇所の接合部11a,11aによって、圧電素子2と当該圧電素子2の面上の、中心から離れた位置に於いて線状で接着により結合されている。
【0026】
また、図12,図13に示す第2実施例は、両端の樋状湾曲面1d及び樋状湾曲面1fの寸法を大きく、中央の樋状湾曲面1eの寸法を樋状湾曲面1d、樋状湾曲面1fより小さく採つて、各湾曲面の音圧周波数特性を変化させている。この場合中心の樋状湾曲面1eの輻射音を他の樋状湾曲面1d,1fの輻射音より高い音域とすることができる。一方、寸法の大きい両端の樋状湾曲面1d及び樋状湾曲面1fは放射面積が大きいので低音域再生に適している。この他の変形例も振動板1と圧電素子2とは前述の変形例と同じく、圧電素子2の中心から離れた2箇所で線状に接着結合されている。
【0027】
このように、図12,13に示した第2実施例は、それぞれ形状寸法が異なる樋状湾曲面部1d,1e,1fが組合わされているので、それぞれの部位の振動モードが異なり、その周波数特性も異なったものとなり、その結果全体として再生帯域がより広く、指向特性もブロードで、且つ周波数特性が平坦であるという効果を有する。特に中央の樋状湾曲面1eの寸法が小さくて超高音域の再生に適する。
【0028】
又、両外辺部11b,11b間の寸法を圧電素子2の接合部の長さ(直径)より大きくして、振動板1a,1b,(1c)の表面積を大にして変換能率を高くして、大出力用にすることもできる。このように、本発明の圧電型スピーカユニットを使用したスピーカは、用向きに応じて、その音圧周波数特性及び指向特性を自由に選択して輻射し得る利点がある。
【0029】
以上のごとく、本発明の圧電型スピーカの各実施例、変形例は、最低共振周波数近傍の帯域で高能率で、最低共振周波数と高域共振周波数との間の帯域でも連続してハイレベルで再生することが可能であり、さらにまた、再生帯域がより広く、且つ周波数特性が平坦であることから、スーパートゥイータとしての特性を有しており、ウーファ、スコーカ、トゥイータと組み合わせて超高音再生の優れたマルチウエイスピーカとすることができる。
【0030】
前記した本発明の圧電型スピーカの各実施例、変形例の構成に関しては、上記実施例の構造に限定されるものではない。例えば、振動板1の材料では前記ポリイミド、ポリエーテルイミド以外に、プラスチックフィルム、アルミまたはアルミ合金、紙、布等、適度の剛性と内部ロスとを有する成形可能な材料であればいずれも使用することができる。したがつて、加工も容易に行える利便がある。又、変形例スピーカユニットの場合、夫々の樋状湾曲面の寸法、曲率などは必ずしも同一である必要はなく、中心線に対して対称的である必要もない。
【0031】
以下に、前述した実施例1の圧電型スピーカユニット10、実施例2の圧電型スピーカユニット20及び夫々の変形例スピーカユニットを使用した応用例を説明する。
【0032】
先ず、図14,15に示すように、上記した樋状湾曲面の振動板1,1を、圧電素子2を挟んで背中合わせに配置したスピーカユニットを使用したスピーカは、双方向性スピーカとすることができ、且つ表裏のスピーカユニットを互いに軸方向を直角に配置した、例えば同図に示すようなスピーカの場合、指向特性を変化できる。勿論、複数個を平面上に同一方向に並べて指向性を鋭くし、平面に垂直な特定方向に超高音を集中して輻射することもできる。
【0033】
さらに、図16,17に示すとおりの、圧電型スピーカユニット10,10,…(又は圧電型スピーカユニット20,20,…、或いはその変形例スピーカ)を多数同一平面上に、互いに直角方向に並べて配置した多ユニットスピーカは、実質的な振動板面積の増加によって、電気音響変換能率を高めると共に、指向性を鋭くして所望の箇所に音を集中させることができる。この応用例の変形例として、スピーカユニットの配列を、例えば縦方向に1列だけとすれば、トーンゾイレと同じく横方向に超高音を、ブロードな指向特性で、輻射するいわゆる立体音輻射方式とすることも容易に可能となる。
【0034】
さらにまた、図18,19に示すように、圧電型スピーカユニット10,10,…(又は圧電型スピーカユニット20,20,…、或いはその変形例スピーカ)を平板上に取り付けた集合体を、例えば3角柱又は4角柱などの多角柱状支持体8、又は多面体支持体(図示省略)に組み込んで、3方向、4方向又はそれ以上の多方向に輻射するように多面体形状に配置して、呼吸球振動をする球面輻射体を構成するように組み込むことが容易にできる等の利点を多々有する。
【0035】
このように、本発明スピーカは、構造簡単で、組成材料が軽量で、構成数量も少なくて済むので、全体にコストが低廉で、組み立ても極めて容易であり、上記したような多数ユニット駆動の応用例スピーカとしても、全体的に軽量、組み立て容易、安価の利点は失わない。
【0036】
又、振動板1の樋状湾曲面部の形状寸法も、図面記載のごとく全て等しく、或いは対称的に同一寸法、同一形状である必要はなく、前記した特許請求の範囲に記載の構成要件を具備し、本発明にいう作用を呈し、以下に述べる効果を有する限りにおいて、適宜改変して実施しうるものである。
【0037】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る圧電型スピーカは、上述したとおり、基本的に従来の方形の樋状湾曲面振動板のスピーカとしての効果を保有するとともに、本来の本発明スピーカ独特の構造に基づく特有の効果として、次のような効果が期待できる。
【0038】
(1) 振動板が紙、金属、布、合成樹脂等の薄いシート状の素材で構成されているので、入手が容易で、切断、曲げ、接着等の加工が容易である。
(2)駆動源に、セラミック振動子等の安価に入手し易い材料を使用して構成して、全体に安価に製作できる。
(3) 前記(1)(2)に関連して、スピーカユニットが振動エレメントとして、軽材料を組み合わせて使用しているので、成品スピーカは、軽量にして、安価に大量生産が可能になる。
(4) 振動板の成形の容易な形状に自由に設計できる。
(5) 振動板の成形に、加熱、型押し等の設備を必要としない。
(6) スピーカ組み立て製造工程に、大きな設備が不要で、製造スペースも狭くて済む。
(7) 他のスピーカとの組み合わせが容易にでき、場所をとらないからマルチウエイスピーカのスーパートウイータとして、他のスピーカと組み合わせが容易である。
(8) 縦、横の指向特性が明瞭に現れるので、必要なサービスエリアに対する最適な指向特性を有するスピーカとして構成できる。
【0039】
以上に述べた諸効果により、本発明の圧電型スピーカは、結果として再生周波数帯域が広く、最低共振周波数と高域共振周波数との間の広い帯域で比較的平坦な周波数特性を得ることができて、能率が高く、且つ音色の優れた圧電形スピーカを、安価に提供することができるという総合的な効果を有するのである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has a simple structure, a small size, a light weight, and a piezoelectric speaker that efficiently reproduces ultra-high frequency sound in a wide band with good frequency characteristics and directional characteristics by a shape easy to ride high-order vibration waves. Related to the structure.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, piezoelectric type sound generators are roughly classified into two types. As for the electro-mechanical vibration conversion mechanism, as in Conventional Example 1 shown in FIG. 21, one side of a metal plate 2a also serving as an electrode is used. A unimorph type piezoelectric element 2 ′ having a well-known structure in which a piezoelectric ceramic thin plate 2b is attached and the other electrode plate 2c is attached to the other surface, or the metal as in Conventional Example 2 shown in FIG. A bimorph type piezoelectric element 2 in which another piezoelectric ceramic thin plate 2b and an electrode plate 2c are formed on the other surface of the plate 2a is used.
[0003]
An example of the structure of a conventional speaker unit as a sounding body is one in which the piezoelectric element 2 or the piezoelectric element 2 ′ is directly used as a diaphragm. However, since the conversion efficiency is low if the piezoelectric element is used as it is, the conventional structure shown in FIG. In the structure of Example 1, a resonator 5 having a resonance frequency equal to the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric element 2 ′ and having a sound emitting hole 5 a is coupled to the front surface of the piezoelectric element 2 ′. Is amplified by resonance to increase the conversion efficiency.
[0004]
The above-mentioned piezoelectric sounding body is small in size and relatively efficient to radiate sound of a single frequency, but has a narrow reproduction frequency band and is not suitable for reproducing wide-band sound as a speaker. For the purpose of eliminating such drawbacks, the sounding body of Conventional Example 2, that is, a piezoelectric speaker shown in FIG. 22 has been put into practical use. The structure will be described with reference to FIG. 1. A piezoelectric element 2 is attached to the apex of a conical diaphragm 7 whose peripheral edge is supported by a frame 6, and a conductive wire 21a connected to the metal plate 2a. When an electric signal is applied through the conductive wire 21b connected to the electrode plate 2c, the piezoelectric element 2 bends and vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and the cone-shaped diaphragm 7 vibrates due to the reaction and emits sound. With this structure, since the acoustic energy is directly radiated from the cone-shaped diaphragm 7, the conversion efficiency is slightly higher, and since there is no resonator on the front surface, the reproduction band is widened and can be used as a speaker. Become.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Of the above, Conventional Example 1 shown in FIG. 21 only emits a single-frequency sound, and thus can be used as a narrow-band signal sound generator, but is not suitable for use as a speaker.
[0006]
The conventional example 2 shown in FIG. 22 can be used as a speaker for sound range reproduction to some extent, but the cone-shaped diaphragm 7 that radiates sound is intended to be used in the conventional mass control band. Therefore, it is relatively rigid and vibrates together with the piezoelectric element 2 so that it reproduces with a certain degree of efficiency at the lowest resonance frequency. However, since the mass of the vibration system increases at higher frequency bands, the efficiency is Since the efficiency is further reduced in the low and higher frequency range, the frequency is reproduced only at the lowest resonance frequency, and the frequency characteristics are not flat in the other bands. There was a disadvantage that it was not wide.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention is devised to improve the shape of the diaphragm, the coupling structure of the diaphragm and the piezoelectric element, and the structure of attaching the diaphragm and the piezoelectric element to the frame in order to eliminate the disadvantages associated with the conventional example. Another object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric speaker that has a flat frequency characteristic and efficiently reproduces a wide band and is inexpensive to manufacture.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The piezoelectric speaker according to the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 showing the first invention and FIGS. 12 to 13 showing the second invention.
The first invention is composed of a plurality of bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1a, 1b,... Joined by joining adjacent sides in the parallel direction, and an outer side 11b opposite to the joined part 11a. , 11b and a film-like diaphragm 1 attached to the frame 3 and a bimorph-type or unimorph-type piezoelectric element 2 supported by adhering the peripheral part to the frame 3, and the diaphragm 1 The piezoelectric speaker is characterized in that the joint portion 11a is composed of a piezoelectric speaker unit 10 which is adhesively bonded to the piezoelectric element 2.
[0009]
The second invention is composed of a plurality of bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1a, 1b,... Joined by joining adjacent sides in the parallel direction, and an outer side part 11b opposite to the joined part 11a. , 11b and a film-like diaphragm 1 attached to the frame 3 and a bimorph-type or unimorph-type piezoelectric element 2 supported by adhering the peripheral part to the frame 3, and the diaphragm 1 The width and the bending depth between the outer edge portion 11b of the plurality of bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1a, 1b,... And the joint portion (11a) and between the joint portions 11a of the bowl-shaped curved surfaces are different from each other. The piezoelectric speaker is characterized in that the joint portion 11 a of the diaphragm 1 includes a piezoelectric speaker unit 20 that is adhesively bonded to the piezoelectric element 2 .
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Since the piezoelectric speaker having such a configuration employs a rectangular diaphragm 1 having a good area space factor when viewed from the direction of sound wave radiation compared to a normal circular diaphragm, The sound pressure is improved over time, and the band near the lowest resonance frequency can be reproduced with high efficiency.
[0011]
Moreover, since the rising angle α of the joint portion 11a where the diaphragm 1 of the speaker unit 10 of the first embodiment belonging to the first invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is coupled to the piezoelectric element 2 is steep, it is in the vibration direction. On the other hand, it has a large rigidity and has an effect of increasing the high-frequency resonance frequency to widen the reproduction frequency band, and unlike the point bonding in the conical diaphragm, the coupling portion with the piezoelectric element 2 is a line. Therefore, the electroacoustic conversion efficiency is improved, and the reproduction level becomes high even at the high-band resonance frequency, that is, the high-band limit frequency of the reproduction band. In addition, the piezoelectric speaker is excellent in timbre with low manufacturing cost.
[0012]
Further, since the diaphragm 1 has a bowl-shaped curved surface shape, the inclination angle of the diaphragm continuously changes from the rising angle α of the joint portion 11a toward the periphery of the diaphragm, and the longitudinal direction of the bowl-shaped curved surface. Since the part vibrates in the same phase, it is possible to continuously reproduce at a high level even in a band between the lowest resonance frequency and the high-frequency resonance frequency as compared with the conical shape. In the case of a single speaker unit, the directivity is broad in the direction perpendicular to the diaphragm joint 11a.
[0013]
In addition, the speaker unit 20 of the second embodiment belonging to the second invention shown in FIGS . 12 to 13 has a plurality of bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1d, 1e, and 1f formed by joining adjacent sides in the parallel direction to form a joint portion 11a. The film-like diaphragm 1 which is attached to the frame 3 by the outer side parts 11b and 11b opposite to the joined part 11a, and the peripheral part is adhered to the frame 3 and supported. The bimorph-type or unimorph-type piezoelectric element 2 is formed, and the dimensions of the saddle-shaped curved surface 1d and the saddle-shaped curved surface 1f at both ends of the three-segmented saddle-shaped curved surface of the diaphragm 1 are increased, and the central bowl-shaped The dimensions of the curved surface 1e are made smaller than the saddle-shaped curved surface 1d and the saddle-shaped curved surface 1f to change the sound pressure frequency characteristics of the curved surfaces. In this case, the radiation sound of the central bowl-shaped curved surface 1e can be set to a higher sound range than the radiation sounds of the other bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1d and 1f. On the other hand, the bowl-shaped curved surface 1d and the bowl-shaped curved surface 1f at both ends having large dimensions have a large radiation area and are suitable for low-frequency range reproduction, so that a wide-band reproduced sound can be obtained as a whole. In each of the embodiments, the joint portion 11a is directly coupled to the surface of the piezoelectric element 2. However, in the modification of the first embodiment, the diaphragm 1 is connected to the coupling rod 4 at the intermediate point of the joint portion 11a. Thus, the outer peripheral edge is coupled to the center of the piezoelectric element 2 fixed to the frame 3. The peripherally fixed piezoelectric element vibrates in a mode similar to a circular film, and is not constrained along the diameter, so that it vibrates efficiently, and the central portion has a maximum amplitude. Therefore, this embodiment has a high electroacoustic conversion efficiency.
[0014]
In addition, the characteristics of the diaphragm according to the first aspect of the invention described above are the effect of increasing the high frequency resonance frequency to widen the reproduction frequency band, and the band between the lowest resonance frequency and the high frequency resonance frequency. In the case of a single loudspeaker unit that plays back continuously at a high level and has directivity characteristics, it also has the effect of broadening in the direction perpendicular to the joint portion 11a of the diaphragm. In addition, a piezoelectric speaker having a high conversion efficiency is provided.
[0015]
FIG. 20 shows the frequency characteristics of the piezoelectric speaker unit according to the first embodiment of the first invention. As shown, the reproduction frequency band can be reproduced up to a high frequency of 50 KHz, which is far higher than the highest limit of 20 KHz of a normal high-frequency speaker, by the third harmonic shown in the figure. Used for speaker tweeters.

[0018]
1 to 3 showing the structure of the piezoelectric speaker unit 10 of Example 1 and FIG. 7 showing the disassembled state, reference numeral 1 denotes a diaphragm of the speaker of the present invention. The outer shape of the polyetherimide film A is cut out in a rectangular shape, bent (B) around the center line serving as the joint 11a, and shaped on both sides adjacent to the bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1a and 1b if necessary. . Thus, the outer side portions 11b and 11b are formed at both end edges (C).
[0019]
Alternatively, the above-described film A is pressed by the hot pressing dies 25 and 26 shown in FIG. 8 and heat-molded, and the two pieces formed by cutting the periphery are used as single bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1a and 1b. As shown in FIG. 9, it can be obtained by bonding the edge that becomes the joint 11a with an adhesive in a separate process and molding the outer edges 11b and 11b at both edges. Further, the pressing shape of the hot pressing dies 25 and 26 is press-molded in one shot on both sides adjacent to the bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1a and 1b as in the shape (C) of the diaphragm 1 in FIG. You can also.
[0020]
The joint 11a of the diaphragm 1 is bonded over the entire length on a line passing through the center of the bimorph type piezoelectric element 2 (or unimorph type piezoelectric element 2 ′) of the speaker of the present invention. . Therefore, since the coupling portion with the piezoelectric element 2 is linear and has a large junction area, the reproduction level is high even at the high-band resonance frequency, that is, the high-band limit frequency of the reproduction band. The piezoelectric element 2 is attached to the frame 3 while being sandwiched between an attachment frame 3b and a presser frame 3c provided inside the outer frame 3a constituting the frame 3.
[0021]
Further, since the diaphragm 1 has a bowl-shaped curved surface shape, the inclination angle of the diaphragm 1 continuously changes from the rising angle α to the top of the joint portion 11a, and the longitudinal portions of the bowl-shaped curved surface are the same. Since it vibrates in phase, it is possible to continuously reproduce at a high level even in the band between the lowest resonance frequency and the high-band resonance frequency as compared with the conical shape. Therefore, the frequency characteristic during this period is flat at a high level. As described above, the rising angle α of the joint portion 11a coupled to the piezoelectric element 2 is steep, so that the rigidity is large in the vibration direction, and the diaphragm 1 is composed of a plurality of bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1a and 1b. Therefore, the high frequency resonance frequency becomes high and the reproduction frequency band becomes wide.
[0022]
In addition, since the rectangular diaphragm 1 is adopted as viewed from the direction of sound wave radiation, the diaphragm area is large in the case of the same outer dimensions (the length of one piece of the square = the diameter of the circle), and is near the lowest resonance frequency. The band can be reproduced with higher efficiency than a conventional circular (conical) diaphragm speaker.
[0023]
Furthermore, the diaphragm 1 used in the speaker of the present invention is easier to manufacture than a conical diaphragm when obtaining a square diaphragm. When the outer dimensions (diameter and one side) are the same, the price per unit area of the acoustic radiation surface viewed from the sound radiation direction is relatively low.
[0024]
4 to 6 the piezoelectric speaker unit variation of the structure metropolitan, diaphragm 1, the piezoelectric element 2, the frame 3 is the same shape as in Example 1, the diaphragm 1, the junction 11a However, it is different in that it is coupled to the center of the piezoelectric element 2 via the coupling rod 4. This modification has a feature that the conversion efficiency is high because the diaphragm 1 is driven by a portion having the largest amplitude of the piezoelectric element 2.
[0025]
10 and 11 are a front view and a side sectional view of another modification. The diaphragm 1 according to this modification includes three bowl-shaped curved surfaces, a bowl-shaped curved surface 1a, a bowl-shaped curved surface 1b, and a bowl-shaped curved surface 1c. The length, width, and radius of curvature of each bowl-shaped curved surface. Are the same, and therefore, the diaphragm 1 has the same sound pressure frequency characteristics on each curved surface, and is suitable as a piezoelectric speaker that emits a large output. The vibration plate 1 is bonded by linear bonding at a position away from the center on the surface of the piezoelectric element 2 and the piezoelectric element 2 by two joint portions 11a and 11a.
[0026]
In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the dimensions of the saddle-shaped curved surface 1d and the saddle-shaped curved surface 1f at both ends are large, and the dimensions of the central saddle-shaped curved surface 1e are the same. The sound pressure frequency characteristic of each curved surface is changed by taking it smaller than the curved surface 1f. In this case, the radiation sound of the central bowl-shaped curved surface 1e can be set to a higher sound range than the radiation sounds of the other bowl-shaped curved surfaces 1d and 1f. On the other hand, the bowl-shaped curved surface 1d and the bowl-shaped curved surface 1f at both ends having large dimensions are suitable for low-frequency reproduction because they have a large radiation area. In other modified examples, the vibration plate 1 and the piezoelectric element 2 are adhesively bonded in a linear manner at two points away from the center of the piezoelectric element 2 as in the modified example described above.
[0027]
Thus, in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, since the bowl-shaped curved surface portions 1d, 1e, and 1f having different shape dimensions are combined, the vibration modes of the respective portions are different, and the frequency characteristics thereof. As a result, the entire reproduction band is wider, the directivity is broader, and the frequency characteristic is flat. In particular, the size of the central bowl-shaped curved surface 1e is small, which is suitable for reproduction in the super high frequency range.
[0028]
In addition, the dimension between the outer side portions 11b and 11b is made larger than the length (diameter) of the joint portion of the piezoelectric element 2, and the surface areas of the diaphragms 1a, 1b and (1c) are increased to increase the conversion efficiency. And can be used for large output. As described above, the speaker using the piezoelectric speaker unit of the present invention has an advantage that the sound pressure frequency characteristic and the directivity can be freely selected and radiated according to the use direction.
[0029]
As described above, each of the embodiments and modifications of the piezoelectric speaker of the present invention has high efficiency in the band near the lowest resonance frequency, and continuously has a high level in the band between the lowest resonance frequency and the high band resonance frequency. Furthermore, since it has a wider playback band and flat frequency characteristics, it has the characteristics of a super tweeter and can be used in combination with woofers, squawkers, and tweeters for super high-pitched sound playback. It can be set as the outstanding multiway speaker.
[0030]
The configurations of the embodiments and modifications of the piezoelectric speaker of the present invention described above are not limited to the structures of the above embodiments. For example, in addition to the polyimide and polyetherimide, any material can be used for the diaphragm 1 as long as it is a moldable material having appropriate rigidity and internal loss, such as plastic film, aluminum or aluminum alloy, paper, and cloth. be able to. Therefore, there is a convenience that can be easily processed. Further, in the case of the modified speaker unit, the size, curvature, etc. of each bowl-shaped curved surface are not necessarily the same, and need not be symmetrical with respect to the center line.
[0031]
Hereinafter, application examples using the piezoelectric speaker unit 10 of the first embodiment, the piezoelectric speaker unit 20 of the second embodiment, and the respective modified speaker units will be described.
[0032]
First, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a speaker using a speaker unit in which the diaphragms 1, 1 having the above-described curved curved surfaces are placed back to back with the piezoelectric element 2 interposed therebetween is a bidirectional speaker. For example, in the case of a speaker as shown in the same figure in which the front and back speaker units are arranged at right angles to each other in the axial direction, the directivity can be changed. Of course, it is also possible to arrange a plurality of elements in the same direction on a plane to sharpen directivity, and to concentrate and emit super high sounds in a specific direction perpendicular to the plane.
[0033]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, a large number of piezoelectric speaker units 10, 10,... (Or piezoelectric speaker units 20, 20,..., Or modified speakers thereof) are arranged on the same plane in a direction perpendicular to each other. The arranged multi-unit speaker can increase the electroacoustic conversion efficiency by increasing the substantial diaphragm area, sharpen directivity, and concentrate the sound at a desired location. As a modification of this application example, if the arrangement of the speaker units is only one column in the vertical direction, for example, a so-called three-dimensional sound radiation system that radiates super high sounds in the horizontal direction with broad directional characteristics, similar to tone zeire. It becomes possible easily.
[0034]
Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, an assembly in which piezoelectric speaker units 10, 10,... (Or piezoelectric speaker units 20, 20,. Incorporated into a polygonal columnar support 8 such as a triangular prism or a quadrangular prism, or a polyhedral support (not shown), arranged in a polyhedral shape so as to radiate in three directions, four directions or more, and breathing spheres There are many advantages, such as being easy to incorporate so as to constitute a spherical radiator that vibrates.
[0035]
As described above, the speaker of the present invention has a simple structure, a lightweight composition material, and a small number of components. Therefore, the overall cost is low and the assembly is extremely easy. As an example speaker, the advantages of light weight, easy assembly, and low cost are not lost.
[0036]
Further, the shape and size of the bowl-shaped curved surface portion of the diaphragm 1 need not all be the same as shown in the drawing, or symmetrically have the same size and the same shape, and have the constituent elements described in the claims. However, as long as it exhibits the action referred to in the present invention and has the effects described below, it can be implemented with appropriate modifications.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the piezoelectric speaker according to the present invention basically has the effect of a conventional rectangular bowl-shaped curved surface diaphragm as a speaker and also has a unique effect based on the structure unique to the original speaker of the present invention. The following effects can be expected.
[0038]
(1) Since the diaphragm is made of a thin sheet material such as paper, metal, cloth, or synthetic resin, it is easy to obtain and can be easily processed such as cutting, bending, and bonding.
(2) The drive source can be made of a cheaply available material such as a ceramic vibrator and can be manufactured at a low cost as a whole.
(3) In relation to the above (1) and (2), since the speaker unit uses a combination of light materials as the vibration element, the product speaker can be made lightweight and inexpensively mass-produced.
(4) It can be designed freely in a shape that allows easy shaping of the diaphragm.
(5) No equipment such as heating or embossing is required to form the diaphragm.
(6) No large equipment is required for the speaker assembly manufacturing process, and the manufacturing space is small.
(7) Since it can be easily combined with other speakers and does not take up space, it can be easily combined with other speakers as a super tweeter of a multiway speaker.
(8) Since the vertical and horizontal directivity characteristics clearly appear, it can be configured as a speaker having the optimal directivity characteristics for the required service area.
[0039]
Due to the effects described above, the piezoelectric speaker of the present invention has a wide reproduction frequency band as a result, and can obtain a relatively flat frequency characteristic in a wide band between the lowest resonance frequency and the high-band resonance frequency. Thus, a piezoelectric speaker having high efficiency and excellent timbre can be provided at a low cost.
