Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of loudspeaker devices.
  • gas adsorbing materials in the following referred to as sorber—like e.g. activated carbon or zeolite may be placed therein to improve sound generation of the loudspeaker device.
  • sorber in the resonance space of the loudspeaker leads to an apparent virtual enlargement of the resonance space by gas adsorption and desorption.
  • the resonance frequency of the loudspeaker device is thereby lowered to a value that can be achieved without sorber only with an essentially larger resonance space.
  • EP 2 003 924 A1 relates to a loudspeaker system in which a gas adsorber, obtained by adding a binder to a porous material including a plurality of grains so as to perform moulding, is used to physically adsorb a gas in a closed space of the speaker system.
  • the porous material may be made of one selected from the group consisting of an activated carbon, zeolite, silica (SiO 2 ), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), zirconia (ZrO 3 ), magnesia (MgO), iron oxide black (Fe 3 O 4 ) molecular sieve, fullerene and a carbon nanotube.
  • the binder may be one of a powdery resin material and a fibrous resin material.
  • loudspeaker device comprising a loudspeaker receptacle for receiving a loudspeaker, and a zeolite material comprising zeolite particles having a silicon to aluminum mass ratio of at least 200.
  • the zeolite material comprises zeolite particles in pure SiO 2 modification.
  • silicon to aluminum mass ratio of at least 200 includes higher silicon to aluminum mass ratios, e.g. 250 or 300 , as well as aluminum-free zeolite particles. In the latter case, the whole zeolite particles of the zeolite material are in pure SiO 2 modification.
  • Zeolites are microporous minerals, usually aluminosilicate minerals, and are known to a person skilled in the art. Basic information about zeolites is available from the International Zeolite Association and the corresponding web site (http://www.iza-online.org/).
  • a loudspeaker refers to any type of electro-acoustic transducer.
  • the at least part of the zeolite particles have the structure FER.
  • at least part of the zeolite particles have the structure MFI.
  • the all zeolite particles are of the same structure, e.g. the structure FER.
  • the zeolite material includes zeolite particles of at least two different structures.
  • the zeolite material includes zeolite particles of the structure FER and zeolite particles of the structure MFI.
  • the three letter code relates to the classification of zeolites according to the International Zeolite Association and can be obtained inter alia from http://www.iza-online.org/.
  • the zeolite material further comprises a binder adhering the individual zeolite particles together. This allows grains of zeolite material to be formed which are larger than a single zeolite particle. Further a certain spacing between zeolite particles can be established by the binder and appropriate processing of the ingredients of the zeolite material.
  • the zeolite particles comprise first pores having a diameter in a first diameter range and the zeolite material comprises second pores between different zeolite particles.
  • the size of first pores in the zeolite particles usually have a sharp pore diameter distribution.
  • the diameter of the second pores can be influenced by the manufacturing process of the zeolite material.
  • the second pores have a diameter in a second diameter range and the second diameter range is spaced from the first diameter range by at least one order of magnitude.
  • the first diameter range extends up to about 4 nanometers
  • the second diameter range of the second pores extends from about 40 nanometers to higher diameters.
  • the second pores have a pore diameter larger than 50 nanometer.
  • the zeolite material has second pores in the range between 0.7 micrometer and 30 micrometer. According to a further embodiment, the zeolite material has second pores in the range between 1 micrometer and 10 micrometer.
  • the second pores have a pore diameter distribution with a local peak in a diameter range between 0.7 micrometer and 30 micrometer. According to an further embodiment, the second pores have a pore diameter distribution with a local peak in a diameter range between 1 micrometer and 10 micrometer.
  • the zeolite material comprises grains having a plurality of the zeolite particles adhered together with the binder and the grains have an average grain size in a range between 0.2 millimeter and 0.9 millimeter.
  • the mass fraction of the binder in relation to the whole mass of the zeolite material is in the range from 1% to 20%. According to a further embodiment, in relation to the whole mass of the zeolite material the mass fraction of the binder is in the range from 2% to 10%.
