Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a vibration speaker and a bathtub system,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vibration speaker and a bathtub system for a bath that can enjoy music, and more particularly, to a vibration speaker and a bathtub system for a bath so that they can listen to music while bathing or relaxing in a bathtub .

As a device for listening to music in a bathtub, various types of waterproof Bluetooth speakers, which have recently been introduced for use in bathrooms, are often used. You can also enjoy music after attaching speakers or flush-mounted speakers to the bathroom wall.

Speaker units are divided into dome-type, cone-type and so on depending on the type. The oldest and most widely used method is as shown in FIG. 1, when a circular coil is wound around a magnet and positioned near the magnetic layer, the coil affected by the magnetic force due to the current flowing through the coil moves up and down, to be. These coils are sometimes referred to as voice coils because they make sounds. That is, a vibration plate is attached to the voice coil to generate sound.

These external speakers can not listen to music when the user is lifting a bath in the bathtub. This is because when a user's ear that can hear a sound is immersed in water, the sound is not fully transmitted. In addition, the general-purpose speaker is complicated in structure such as magnetic, voice coil, edge, diaphragm, center shaft, damper, frame, plate and yoke, low economy and durability.

If a dome-shaped or cone-shaped speaker is used in a conventional bathtub, even if a waterproof type Bluetooth speaker is used, it still suffers from malfunction due to radio wave interference in the water.
