Definitions
- the present invention relates to loudspeakers and in particular to flat loudspeakers or flat-panel sound converters.
- the aim is to design loudspeakers so that they can be integrated into other devices or furniture, so that they can be distributed unobtrusively in the room. For example, there are already loudspeakers that act as picture frames, screens or even closet doors.
- the cone loudspeaker is not suitable for the technical implementation of these "hidden” loudspeakers because its diaphragm shape means that it is not flat enough.
- a loudspeaker is better suited if the diaphragm is flat as a plate from the start and the electro-acoustic excitation system is as small as possible.
- This principle namely the use of a plate as a membrane in Connection with the use of an excitation system has already been used for an acoustic shop window advertisement in DE 465189 published in 1929 and its additions DE 484409 and 484872. There, a window pane of a shop window served as a membrane, which was stimulated to emit sound by an attached electrodynamic excitation system.
- the basic function mechanism of this principle is that an electrical signal applied to the electrodynamic excitation system is converted into a tone-frequency mechanical vibration. This mechanical oscillation is transmitted to the plate serving as a membrane at an excitation point at which the excitation system rests on or is attached to the membrane, as a result of which structure-borne noise is generated in the plate.
- the structure-borne sound component that spreads in the membrane using bending waves ensures the generation of airborne sound.
- the properties of the flexible shaft in particular its excitation and its propagation, have a decisive influence on the construction of a flat loudspeaker based on the flexible shaft principle. Taking these properties into account, it results that diaphragm plates with low weight and large dimensions are necessary for broadband sound reproduction.
- the required plate size now stands in the way of the goal of invisibly integrating the loudspeaker into the surroundings of the listener. Even with relatively large disks, the reproduction of the frequency range below about 200 Hz is of poor quality. The reason for this is that a plate only vibrates in its own modes with their associated natural frequencies and the mode density, ie the number of modes per frequency range, is decisive for sound reproduction. A sufficient mode density has not yet been achieved below 200 Hz.
- DE 19541197 AI describes a cone loudspeaker with an electrodynamic vibration system, a cone-shaped membrane, a bead and a basket, on which the membrane is suspended over the bead.
- the membrane When a sound signal is applied to the vibration system, the membrane carries out a lifting movement along the center line.
- the membrane is provided with a layer of piezoelectric material, which is also connected to the sound signal source and experiences changes in expansion.
- the layer acts as a thickness oscillator or bending oscillator.
- DE19960082A1 describes a loudspeaker with a plate membrane which is operated on its rear side by an oscillation drive.
- the plate membrane performs a lifting movement when it vibrates.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a loudspeaker which enables a better reproduction quality with a fixed size or a more compact construction with a fixed reproduction quality.
- a loudspeaker comprises a membrane, a first excitation device for excitation of structure-borne noise in the membrane and a second excitation device, which is different from the first, for displacing the membrane in
- the problem of the low bass reproduction on the one hand and the size which is the opposite of the invisible integration or installation is solved by introducing a second excitation system which, in addition to the bending vibrations of the structure-borne noise, introduces the membrane or the plate serving as the membrane moved back and forth uniformly. Sound reproduction is therefore possible over the entire hearing frequency range without the goal of invisible integration or installation being hindered.
- the main idea of the present invention is that a broadband reproduction can be obtained by means of a compact loudspeaker, which consists of a membrane and associated excitation device, by using two different excitation devices to excite the membrane, which differentiate the membrane Set in vibration and are responsible for different frequency bands or frequency ranges.
- the one known excitation device for generating structure-borne noise in the membrane is only responsible for reproducing the high and mid-range, and its task is merely to excite as many bending waves as possible in the membrane.
- the previously lacking low-frequency range is taken over by the excitation device added according to the invention, which excites the diaphragm for longitudinal forward and backward oscillation movements with a large stroke.
- the membrane is excited by the second excitation device introduced according to the invention to longitudinal vibrations, whereby the membrane thus vibrates in the form of bending waves and additionally moves as a whole back and forth.
- the deflection of the second excitation device can be far greater than that of the bending waves of the structure-borne noise generating device. Since the membrane has a relatively large fictitious membrane area, a lot of air volume is moved by moving the plate back and forth uniformly. In this way, the generation of sufficient sound levels in the low-frequency range is much better possible than with the flexible shaft principle, in which the membrane deflections can also be smaller.
- An advantage of the present invention is again that by combining both types of excitation, i.e. the structure-borne sound generation and the longitudinal back and forth oscillation movement, a clearly better reproduction of the entire hearing frequency range is possible on a membrane.
- an advantage of the present invention is that the bass reproduction is significantly improved with the membrane size remaining the same due to the combination of the two excitation devices.
- the advantage of the Visible integration or installation is not eliminated by this, but is supplemented by better playback quality.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that the fact that the longitudinal oscillation movement moves a lot of air volume means that the bass reflex principle can be used effectively, which has not led to any improvement in bass generation in previous flat speakers based on the bending wave principle.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that since the reproduction in the low frequency range is carried out by the generation of back and forth vibrations of the membrane, the structure-borne noise generating device can also operate according to the piezoelectric principle, which was previously the case when only structure-borne noise was used of the very narrow frequency range for which the piezoelectric principle is suitable was only possible with a loss of bandwidth. As a result of the combination with the additional excitation system for the longitudinal vibration movement of the membrane, a significant improvement in the sound reproduction is achieved, so that the structure-borne sound generating device can operate according to the piezoelectric principle.

- the loudspeaker which is generally indicated at 10, essentially consists of a plate 12 serving as a membrane, a structure-borne sound generating device 14, a longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 and an excitation signal generating device 18.
- the structure-borne noise generating device 14 works according to the electrodynamic principle and is shown in more detail in cross section in FIG.
- the structure-borne noise generating device 14 comprises an annular permanent magnet 20 which is polarized along its axis of rotation, a cylindrical pole core 22 which is centered or coaxial with the annular permanent magnet 20, and a voice coil 24 which extends in an annular air gap between the pole core 22 and the permanent magnet 20
- the structure-borne sound generating device 14 formed as an electrodynamic drive can have, for example, disk-shaped or ring-shaped pole plates. Of course, another structure of the electric motor drive is also possible.
- the part consisting of the voice coil 22 on the one hand and the part of the structure-borne sound generating device 14 consisting of the pole core 22 and the permanent magnet 20 on the other hand are displaceable relative to one another.
- the structure-borne noise generating device 14 thus formed is fastened in a centered manner on the plate 12 via the part containing the voice coil 22.
- the reverse case is also conceivable, as described below. Otherwise, the structure-borne noise generating device is not fixed or unsupported, ie the other part consisting of components 20 and 22 is freely movable.
- the membrane 12 has been described by way of example as a perpendicular membrane 12, to which a coil 24 is fastened, which is immersed in an annular air gap between a cylindrical pole core 22 and an annular permanent magnet 20, the pole core 22 and permanent magnet 20 forming a unit, which is guided over the voice coil 24 in order to be displaceable relative to the same in the direction perpendicular to the direction of expansion of the membrane 12.
- the vertical membrane is part of a wall, for example. In this vertical orientation, no force acts on the unsupported part 20, 22 of the drive 14 which points in the direction of the surface normal of the membrane 12, ie in the direction in which this part can be displaced relative to the voice coil 24, but only that weight force shown below.
- this part naturally has a certain inertia, so that the excitation device 14, which is intended to generate structure-borne sound in the membrane 12 ', i.e. mechanical waves in the grating of the membrane 12, which propagate in it, is excited at high frequency, and that with sufficient inertia or sufficient weight of the freely movable part 20, 22 of the drive compared to the inertia or the weight of the diaphragm 12 this part will essentially not leave its position, but rather only the voice coil 24 together with the diaphragm 12 moved back and forth within the air gap and the free moving part 20, 22 continues to be prevented from being pulled down by gravity.
- Factors such as the elasticity of the membrane material, play a role in how much the membrane 12 and thus also the voice coil 24 are deflected, so that the voice coil 24 can be prevented from sliding out of the air gap of the excitation device 14, with appropriate consideration.
- the stroke caused by the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 must also be taken into account in order to prevent the coil from being pulled out of the gap which virtually remains at a standstill due to the inertia of the freely movable part. This can be done, for example, by the corresponding length of the overlap of the coil 24 and the air gap.
- an elastic connection of the two parts of the drive 14 which are slidable relative to one another can be provided, so that the freely movable part is moved together with the diaphragm and the part fastened to it in the event of vibrations, and also structure-borne noise due to higher-frequency relative movements to the fastened part of the membrane.
- a loudspeaker of the type shown can also be attached in a different position, e.g. on the ceiling. Then, however, additional precautions would have to be taken to ensure that the moving parts of the drive 14 are coupled to one another, e.g. in addition to the mechanical air gap voice coil guide via an elastic connection, so that the two movable parts of the drive 14 alone already form an oscillatable system and a sliding down of the freely movable part of the drive 14 from the guide through the coil 24 is prevented.
- the electrodynamic drive 14 converts an electrical excitation signal, which flows through the voice coil 24, according to the electrodynamic principle into a mechanical relative oscillation movement between the two parts, the one attached to the plate 12 and the freely movable one.
- the freely movable part advantageously has enough Inertia in order to effectively transmit the mechanical relative oscillation movement to the plate 12, as a result of which structure-borne noise and in particular bending waves are generated in the plate 12, as is exaggeratedly shown in FIG.
- the excitation signal, which flows through the voice coil 24, receives the same from the excitation signal generating device 18, which in turn generates the same from an electrical sound signal, which indicates the information to be reproduced in a suitable manner.
- the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 also works according to the electrodynamic principle and is shown in cross section in FIG. 1b.
- the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 is arranged coaxially to the structure-borne sound generating device 14.
- the electrodynamic drive of the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 also comprises a permanent magnet 30, a pole core 32 and a voice coil 34.
- the voice coil 34 also receives its electrical excitation signal from the excitation signal generating device 18, which generates the same from this tone signal indicating the information to be reproduced.
- the part comprising the voice coil 34 contacts the plate 12 - or is connected to it - via an adapter 36.
- the voice coil 34 is firmly connected to the adapter 36, which extends from the voice coil 34 in the direction of the plate 12 and thereby radially extends to either rest or be attached, such as glued, to the plate 12 when the loudspeaker 10 is at rest along an annular excitation area with a certain diameter, and to surround the structure-borne sound generator 14 together with the plate 12.
- the adapter 36 consists of a cylinder jacket 38 with a diameter which exceeds one tenth of the extent of the plate 12 at the narrowest point, and webs 40 which extend radially and connect the cylinder jacket 38 to the voice coil 34 such that the cylinder jacket 38 is coaxially aligned with an excitation point at which the mechanical Vibration of the structure-borne sound generating device 14 is exerted on the plate 12.
- the adapter 36 does not have to have a circular cross-section or a circular excitation area, as shown in FIGS. 1a-1d, and is designed as a ring adapter, but can also be rectangular, for example.
- the extent of the excitation area is, for example, between one tenth and new tenth of the extent of the plate 12 in the respective direction of expansion of the plate 12.
- the adapter 36 enables the mechanical oscillation of the drive 16 to produce a longitudinal oscillatory movement of the plate 12 almost entirely, that is to say translationally , leads, as will be explained in the following.
- Supports can be arranged along the contact surface of the adapter 36, which protrude from the adapter 36 in the direction of the plate 12, so that the adapter 36 only at isolated support points, i.e. the ends of the supports, rests on the plate 12 or is fastened there.
- the influence of the adapter 36 or the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 on the structure-borne noise generated can be further reduced without significantly. affect the uniformity of the drive of the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16.
- the other part consists of the magnet 30 and the pole core 32 Partly fixed, such as attached to a rear wall of the speaker (not shown). In this way, the force transmission of the mechanical vibration generated by the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 to the plate 12 is greater than in the case of the structure-borne noise generating device 14.
- the loudspeaker 10 In order to convert the electrical sound signal, which specifies the information to be reproduced, into airborne sound in the form of longitudinal waves or pressure waves, the loudspeaker 10 comprises the two devices 14 and 16. Both devices 14 and 16 assume the reproduction of the information to be reproduced for different frequency ranges or frequency bands , The structure-borne noise generating device 14 is responsible for the reproduction of the high and mid-range, while the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 is responsible for the low-frequency range.
- the device 14 thus receives a higher-frequency component of the sound signal than the device 16.
- the frequency range of the excitation signal for the structure-borne sound generating device 14 extends, for example, from 100 Hz to 25 kHz and preferably from 150 Hz to 20 kHz, while the frequency range of the excitation signal for the longitudinal vibration excitation direction 16 extends, for example, from 10 Hz to 2 kHz and preferably from 20 Hz to 200 Hz.
- the excitation signal generating device 18 can be designed, for example, as a crossover.
- the frequency range for structure-borne noise comprises a frequency which is higher than all frequencies covered by the frequency range for longitudinal vibration excitation, or the frequency ranges comprise a first frequency at which the excitation signal for structure-borne noise generation is higher than the other excitation signal and a second the first lower frequency at which the excitation signal for longitudinal vibration excitation is equal to or higher than the other excitation signal.
- the mechanical vibrational movements generated by the excitation signal by the voice coil 24 lead to structure-borne noise in the plate 12 and in particular to bending waves, which in turn are converted to air-borne sound at the air-plate interface.
- the structure-borne noise generating device 14 advantageously has a sufficient moment of inertia for this.
- the longitudinal oscillation excitation device 16 sets the plate 12 in longitudinal oscillation movements 42 with a stroke which can be significantly larger, for example more than 20 times larger, than the amplitude of the structure-borne sound generating device 14, for example 20 mm.
- This longitudinal forward and backward movement 42 of the plate 12 leads directly to longitudinal airborne sound waves or pressure waves 44 in the low frequency range.
- the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 with the the magnet 30 and the pole core 32 comprising part of the drive fixed, such as on a rear wall.
- the adapter 36 serves to transmit the mechanical oscillation movement of the voice coil 34 distributed over the plate 12 in such a way that the plate 12 produces essentially translatory oscillation movements in the direction perpendicular to an expansion direction of the plate 12 is excited, ie the plate swings back and forth as much as possible.
- the plate 12 thus vibrates in the form of bending waves, as shown in FIG. 1 a, and additionally as a whole back and forth, as shown by the double arrow 42 in FIG. 1 b.
- the plate 12 Although it would be possible to carry the plate 12 only via a fixed connection through the adapter 36 to the part of the drive of the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 comprising the voice coil 34 and the guidance of this part in the part comprising the permanent magnet 30 and the pole core 32, such as when the loudspeaker is suspended from the ceiling, it is preferred if a holder for the plate 12 is additionally provided, as is the case in the following exemplary embodiments.
- the plate 12 is suspended so that during a longitudinal translation of the plate 12 from a rest position thereof in In the direction perpendicular to the plate extension, a force caused by the suspension counteracts this translational deflection in order to bring the membrane back into the rest position.
- the suspension and plate 12 form an oscillatory system, in which the plate 12 is able to translate back and forth in the direction perpendicular to the direction of expansion.
- This oscillation system should be designed for a natural frequency which is in the vicinity of the low-top area for which the longitudinal oscillation excitation device 16 is responsible in order to be able to use the resonance increase.
- FIGS. 1a-1d show an exemplary embodiment for a loudspeaker in which the only difference from the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1a-1d is that the longitudinal vibration excitation device consists of four electrodynamically operating drives 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d, and the one serving as a membrane Plate 12 is suspended via a spider 50 on a frame 52, which in turn is fastened to a rear wall 54, to which in turn the part of the electrodynamically operating drives 16a-d comprising the permanent magnet 30 and the coil core 32 is also fastened.
- Spider 50 is comprised of circumferentially attached elastic bands 56, such as rubber bands, which, from their attachment ends on the circumference of plate 12, extend substantially star-shaped outwardly from the center of plate 12 to the other end on the frame 52 to be attached.
- the bands 56 are designed with regard to their fastening and spring constants in such a way that each edge piece is influenced equally.
- the plate 12 serving as a membrane and the drives 16a-16d are preferably adjusted during assembly so that neither influences the direction of movement of the other. In this way, the diaphragm or plate mass and the mass of the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 have no influence on the direction of vibration of the excitation coils 34 of the drives 16a-16d.
- the spider 50 takes over the function of a bead, which dampens the membrane or plate 12 after each deflection and brings it back to the starting position or rest position.
- the Rear wall 54 can serve as part of a speaker cabinet. However, the provision of a speaker cabinet is not necessary.
- the excitation drives (16a-16d) are driven in phase either by one and the same excitation signal or by those which differ in amplitude in order to compensate for edge effects of the membrane plate 12.
- FIG. 3 an embodiment of a loudspeaker is described which differs from the loudspeaker of FIGS. 2a-2b by a different suspension, but which also translates longitudinally vibrating movement of the plate 12 serving as a membrane back and forth about a rest position allows.
- the membrane 12 is resiliently mounted on one axis 60 per corner of the rectangular plate 12 serving as a membrane.
- the axles 60 are fixedly attached to the rear wall 54, on which the drives 16a-16d are also attached, the axles 60 projecting perpendicularly from the rear wall 54 running parallel to the plate 12, ie in the direction of the drives 16a-16d. 16d caused translational longitudinal vibration direction extend.
- the plate 12 is supported at each corner, for example, by a corresponding hole at each corner through which the respective axis 60 extends.
- a resilient mounting of the plate 12 at each corner on the axes 60 is achieved by, for example, spiral springs 62 which surround the axes 60, are guided by the latter and have an end fastened to the respective corner of the plate 12 and a fixed end, for example with the Rear wall 54 connected end.
- spiral springs 62 which surround the axes 60
- any other elastic means can also be used to define a potential minimum for the respective corner.
- Vertical immersion of the voice coils of the drives 16a-16d is also ensured by the suspension according to FIG. 3.
- the assembly is again preferably carried out in such a way that the membrane 12 and the drives 16a-16d do not mutually influence their directions of movement.
- the rear wall 54 can serve as part of a loudspeaker housing.
- Diaphragm mass and mass of the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16a-d have less influence on the direction of vibration of the voice coils 34 of the drives 16a-16d, ie they plunge into the respective air gap as in the non-installed state.
- the springs take over the function of the bead, which dampens the membrane 12 after each deflection and returns it to the starting position.
- the part of the drives of the longitudinal vibration excitation device comprising the voice coil can either be fixedly connected to the plate 12 or can only rest against it. In both cases, it is preferred that when the loudspeakers according to FIGS. 2a, 2b and 3 are assembled, the distance between the membrane plate 12 and the drives 16a-16d in the rest position of the membrane plate 12 is set in such a way that they just touch but in ru - when they do not exert any forces on each other. So that the membrane plate can better follow the movements of the drives 16a-16d, the part of the voice coil 22 or 34 comprising the same is preferably glued to the plate 12, for example.
- FIG. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment of a loudspeaker in which, in contrast to the loudspeaker according to FIG. 3, the drives 16a-16d forming the longitudinal excitation device are not fastened to the diaphragm plate 12 via the part comprising the voice coil 34, such as, for example, via a voice coil support via the part of the electrodynamic excitation system comprising the permanent magnet 30.
- the voice coil 34 is on the sound speaker rear wall 54 and not attached to the membrane plate 12.
- the suspension ie the axes 60 with the springs 62 or the spider 50, also ensures that the voice coil 34 is immersed vertically in the air gap between the permanent magnet 30 and the pole core 32.
- FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment of a loudspeaker in which, as in the previous exemplary embodiments, both excitation devices 14 and 16 operate according to the electrodynamic principle, but the electrodynamic drive of the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 as a magnet is the permanent magnet of the structure-borne sound generating device 14 used. 5 corresponds to that of FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 only comprises one coaxial to the voice coil 24 of the drive of the structure-borne sound generating device 14 arranged voice coil 70, which is fixed to the rear wall 54. Both voice coils 24 and 70 interact with the same permanent magnet 20. With this construction, a further pole core can additionally be provided around the voice coil 70.
- the voice coil 70 thus surrounds the structure-borne noise generating device 14.
- the part of the drive of the longitudinal vibration excitation device 16 comprising the voice coil 70 is fixed, while the other part is attached to the diaphragm plate 12 is, namely, the permanent magnet 20 of the structure-borne noise generating device 14.
- the drive of the structure-borne noise generating device 14, on the other hand, is only fastened to the plate 12, namely with the part comprising the vibration coil 24.
- FIG. 6 shows an exemplary embodiment for a special attachment of structure-borne noise generating device 14 to plate 12, which serves as a membrane.
- a voice coil support 80 which carries the voice coil 24 and has a conical part on the side facing the diaphragm plate 12, the cone tip being connected to the membrane 12.
- a loudspeaker according to the invention with a housing in which the plate serving as a membrane is suspended from the housing via an airtight suspension in order to seal the housing airtight.
- a special bead can be used, e.g. a continuous elastic band stretched between the circumference of the plate 12 and the circumference of a corresponding recess in the loudspeaker box.
- the thickness can additionally be supported by the spring-axis suspension according to FIG. 3 or by the spider suspension according to FIGS. 2a and 2b. Since sufficient air volume is moved by the longitudinal translational movement of the entire membrane, the bass reflex principle can also be used here. For this purpose, a hole for the reflection channel is worked into the housing, for example laterally.
- not only one or four drives can be provided for moving the membrane plate in longitudinal forward and backward oscillating movements, but any number. If several such longitudinal vibration drives are used, they are advantageously arranged in such a way that the membrane plate is driven in a uniformly distributed manner over the entire surface. If there are several drives, the adapter may be missing, as is the case with the examples in FIGS. 2-4.
- the arrangement of several such longitudinal vibration drives is preferably always centrally symmetrical with respect to the membrane plate.
- the use of several longitudinal vibration drives increases the possible sound level of the loudspeaker.
- drives other than those described above could also be provided, drives based on a converter principle other than the electrodynamic principle based.
- the drive used for the generation of structure-borne noise could also be designed to work according to the piezoelectric principle, such as, for example, a piezo crystal which is connected to the membrane on one side and connected to a weight on the other side and is otherwise freely movable ,
- the structure-borne noise generating device is not firmly connected to the membrane, but that it is suspended, for example, by a suitable device from above at a fixed height, but otherwise in the longitudinal direction of vibration of the vertically oriented membrane is kept freely movable to rest against the membrane in the rest position.
