Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with a device such as is used in telephones, loudspeakers and the like for converting electric oscillations into mechanical vibrations.
  • a ferromagnetic element i. e., an armature, which is adapted to be subjected to the influence of electric oscillations, is arranged so as to move within and in the direction of two parallel but opposite magnetic fields.
  • the armature is supported by having its ends secured to a resiliently mounted frame.
  • the frame may be rectangular in form with the armature connected to two parallel sides of the frame, the middles of the other two sides being secured to the spring supports.
  • the points of clamping of the springs' may be located on the same side relatively to the axis of movement of the ar-' mature.
  • the springs being caused to proceed in the same direction as the armature, the latter will receive a substantially rectilinear movement but will not move about its If the springs are clamped unilaterally the restoring force exerted by them will proceed in line with the deviation of the armature.
  • the magnetic force is known to change quadratically to this deviation so that the resultant repulsive force is not proportional to the deviation of the armature. If, however, the
  • the loudspeaker may be particularly sensitive when the springs are very slack which however entails the probability that the armature will come, into contact with and adhere to the magnet.
  • the frame has fixed to it one or more wires or chords which prevent the armature from receiving any-undesirably great movement and from contacting with the poles.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a magnet system embodying the invention.
  • Figure 2 IS a section taken on the line 11-11 of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a section 111-411 of Figure 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a slightly different construction embodying the invention.
  • Figure 5 represents graphically the forces acting on the armature at different deviations in the construction shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 6 shows graphically the forces acting on the armature in'the construction of Figure 4.
  • Figure 7 illustrates a modification of the means for applying a restoring force tothe armature.
  • the magnet system is constituted by a permanent magnet 1 to which pole pieces 2 and 3 are attached.
  • the pole pieces are shaped so as to form two air gaps providing two partaken on the line allel but oppositely directed magnetic fields,
  • the frame has secured to it a stud 5 which may be connected directly to an oscillating member such as a loudspeaker diaphragm.
  • the function of the magnet system is as follows:
  • a magnetic flux will be induced in the armature by the electrical current passing through the coil, said flux resulting, owing poles, in a movement of. the armature in a direction determined by the magnetic field.
  • the movement thus received by the armature will be a function of the magnetic force of the fixed magnets and that due to the polarization of the armature and of the acting force of the "sprin s 8.
  • the magnitude of these forces for different displacements of the armature The abscissas designate the movement of the armature from its central position, the
  • the armature is in a critical state of equilibrium as even the slightest displacement brings about a force in the direction of the nearest pole of the magnet.
  • the magnetic force is known to change in a manner inversely proportional'to the square of the distance between pole and armature so that the curve which represents the forces at any displacement from the center will be para-.
  • these wires or chords 15 are not tautly stretched and only come into operation when the armature has reccived a determined displacement.
  • the restoring force (line A.) will be reinforced by the tension of the wire (line C so that theline A shows a deviation D at the point d which shifts the danger point of the magnetic forces overcoming the reactive spring forces to the displacement e.”-.
  • the fi ure shows that for small dis lacements suc 1 as b the force to be applied to secure displacement is comparatively small so that the system is highly sensitive. In the case of greater displacements this sensitivencss will continue since the directing force rc russiad increases by very small values.
