Definitions
- the present invention relates to a loudspeaker of the conventional type, where the voice coil of the loud ⁇ speaker diaphragm has an axial length larger than that of the annular air gap, in which the coil operates, and where there is mounted, at both sides of the air gap, a cylinder of electrically conducting material, also call ⁇ ed a copper cylinder.
- a cylinder of electrically conducting material also call ⁇ ed a copper cylinder.
- Another main effect is that the current or current changes in the voice coil will meet an impedance which is largely independent of the position of the coil, i.e. whether it is located way in over the central iron core, where the impedance would otherwise be high, or way out from this core, where the impedance would be low.
- the large movements of the coil are caused by the low fre ⁇ quencies in the reproduced signal, and the simultaneous reproduction of the high frequencies would otherwise be highly influenced by the coil being located in the iron or air filled area, respectively.
- the said 'short circuit winding' is present all over the operation length of the coil, the coil will present the same impe- dance in all of its positions, because the influence from the surroundings will be widely neutralized by the presence of the short circuit winding.
- the copper cylinders should have a considerable wall thickness in order to be really operative. Previously, it was found advantageous to make the copper cylinders extend continually through the air gap, with a wall thickness so small that the air gap should be made only slightly broader, but the fact is that the electrical resistance in the copper cylinder will hereby be high enough to substantially weaken the desired compensation effect.
- the copper cylinders should thus be both long and thick-walled, the use of them will involve a notice ⁇ able price and weight increase, and besides the problem occurs that the voice coil has to be placed on a tube core, which projects rearwardly rather far from the diaphragm, because the latter cannot be displaced in ⁇ wardly any further than to the outer end of the copper cylinder, this being permanently projecting as far as corresponding to the outer maximum amplitude of the voice coil.
- the associated considerable length of the tube core is a problem seen from a stability point of view.
- the copper cylinder it has been found that it is not necessary for the copper cylinder to extend all over the working length of the voice coil in order to effectively fulfill its purpose. It is sufficient that a short cylinder piece is mounted about the root of the central part of the magnetic system, whereby the associated inductive coupling with the voice coil will ensure that the coil will represent the same impedance whether, at a given moment, it is moving towards or away from the iron filled area at the central core portion of the magnet system.
- Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the coil and magnet system of a known loudspeaker type
- Fig. 2 is a corresponding view of a loudspeaker according to the invention.
- Fig. 3 is a similar and authentic view thereof.
- the known loudspeaker of Fig. 1 has a magnet system comprising a ring magnet 2 with a rear/lower pole plate 4, from the center of which a pole piece 6 projects forwardly/upwardly, and with a foremost/upper pole plate 8 made with a central hole 10, inside which, and flush with the pole plate 8, there is mounted an inner pole plate 12 on the outer end of the central pole piece 6.
- a voice coil 16 mounted on a cylindrical carrier core 18 connected with an outer loudspeaker diaphragm 20, which is held by a carrier chassis (not shown) in such a manner that the coil tube 18,16 is guided to carry out purely axial oscillations in the air gap 14.
- the voice coil 16 In its position of rest the voice coil 16 is loca ⁇ ted so as to project equally to both sides of the plate portions 8 and 12.
- the pole piece 6 is surrounded by a cylinder 22 of copper, and a similar cylinder 24 is mounted so as to project forwardly/upwardly from the central pole piece 12. Therefrom, both of the copper cylinders 22 and 24 project beyond the ends of the voice coil 16, such that during operation they will steadily be located inside the oscillation area of the voice coil.
- the invention provides for an improvement even of this phenomenon, in that the voice coil, when oscillat ⁇ ing excessively, will surround but a small amount of copper in the system 22b, 24b, whereby the effect of the copper with respect to a minimising of the induction of the voice coil will be reduced. Thereby the impedance of the coil will increase at high frequencies, i.e. the formation of the distorting overtones will be counterac ⁇ ted such that the associated distortion will be reduced considerably.
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view of one of the loudspeak ⁇ ers having been used for measurements in connection with the invention, i.e. this figure is authentic as far as the dimension relations are concerned. It will be noted that there is a substantial axial distance between the root ring 22A and the inner end of the voice coil and that the ring 22B is slightly thinner than the ring 24B; this reduced thickness is owing to the fact that the root ring 22A to some degree contributes to the function of the ring 22B, which contribution is reduced when the coil moves outwardly, such that the outer ring 24B ide ⁇ ally should be somewhat thicker than the ring 22B. In this example the thickness of the ring 24B is only about 1/6 of the length of the voice coil.
- the length of the voice coil of this loudspeaker is 18 mm. It has been found sufficient for the root ring 22A to have a length of 8 mm, this being less than the half of the distance between the inner pole ring 22B and the outer/lower end of the root ring. The total length of the copper rings is about 13 mm, while in a correspond ⁇ ing system according to Fig. 1, it would be some 40 mm.
- the copper rings are placed inside or around the voice coil, although the efficiency is higher when they are placed inside the coil.
- Many parameters will influence the exact dimensioning of the parts for obtaining the desir ⁇ ed ideal result, and for every new loudspeaker design it will normally be required to carry out a series of test with parts of different dimensions until both the gene ⁇ ral impedance stabilisation and the minimized clipping distortion is established. Thereafter, the solution as found may be used as a standard for all loudspeakers of that particular design.
