In the speakers described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, a long voice coil along the length direction is attached to a folded portion at the center of the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is driven integrally by the driving force of the voice coil. Therefore, the voice coil has a special shape and tends to be expensive.
On the other hand, the speaker described in Patent Document 4 has a structure in which a bending portion at the center of the diaphragm is coupled to a piezoelectric element, and a general-purpose piezoelectric element can be used as an actuator. However, since the rigidity of the connecting portion between the diaphragm and the actuator cannot be ensured only by bending the diaphragm, the responsiveness of the diaphragm is lowered and the transmission of driving force from the actuator to the diaphragm may be impaired.

Also when applied to, the vibration of the vibrating body can be reliably transmitted to the conversion unit. In addition, a general-purpose voice coil motor or the like can be applied as the conversion unit and can be manufactured at low cost.

In this case, the reinforcing portion can be formed by bonding or welding one side portions of the pair of vertically split cylindrical surfaces.
In addition, a reinforcing tool can be attached to the reinforcing portion along the extending direction of the valley portion. In this case, the rigidity of the reinforcing part can be further improved.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which an electroacoustic transducer of the present invention is applied to a speaker will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 6 show a speaker according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
The speaker (electroacoustic transducer) of this embodiment includes a vibrating body 1, an actuator (converting unit) 2 that reciprocates the vibrating body 1, and a support frame 3 that supports the vibrating body 1 and the actuator 2. And an edge portion 4 for supporting the vibrating body 1 on the support frame 3 so as to be reciprocally movable.
In FIG. 1, the vertical direction is set so that the side on which the edge portion 4 is provided is up and the side on which the actuator 2 is provided is down, and the support is formed in a rectangular shape as will be described later. The long side direction of the frame 3 is a vertical direction or a length direction, and the short side direction is a horizontal direction. In some cases, the upper surface is the front surface, the lower surface is the back surface, and as shown in the drawing, the vertical direction (length direction) is called the x direction, the horizontal direction is called the y direction, and the vertical direction is called the z direction. It shall be.

The vibrating body 1 has a surface shape in which a pair of vertically-divided cylindrical surfaces 5 are formed in parallel and a valley portion 6 is formed between one side portions of adjacent vertically-divided cylindrical surfaces 5. . The vibrating body 1 in the illustrated example includes a pair of curved plates 11 that are curved along the vertically split cylindrical surface 5, and a connecting plate 12 that connects these curved plates 11. Sides forming the valley 6 are joined together. The connecting plate 12 is provided at both ends of the valley portion 6 so as to block the entire valley portion 6.
In the vibrating body 1, the extending direction of the valley portion 6 is a vertical direction or a length direction, and a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction is a horizontal direction.
The material of the vibrating body 1 is not limited, and a synthetic resin, paper, metal, or the like generally used as a diaphragm for a speaker can be used. For example, a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyester can be used. The film made of can be formed relatively easily by vacuum forming.

Further, the vertically-divided cylindrical surface 5 of the curved plate 11 does not necessarily have to be a single circular arc surface, and a cross-section along a circumferential direction (lateral direction) of the vertically-divided cylindrical surface 5 in which a plurality of curvatures are continuous. Can be used, such as a parabola shape or a spline curve whose curvature changes constant or continuously, a rectangular cylindrical surface, a stepped shape having a plurality of steps, etc. It is curved in the circumferential direction (lateral direction) of the vertically divided cylindrical surface 5, and is linear in a direction perpendicular to the one direction (vertical direction of the vertically divided cylindrical surface 5). The pair of curved plates 11 are arranged in parallel so that the convex direction faces the same surface side, and adjacent side portions are joined with the tangential direction in common. Therefore, the trough 6 is formed between the curved plates 11 in a straight line along the longitudinal direction of the vertically split cylindrical surface 5. The joint portion of the two curved plates 11 serves as a reinforcing portion 13, and the reinforcing portion 13 is formed by, for example, bonding the one side portions of the two curved plates 11 to each other as shown in FIG. It is formed in the shape of a belt along the extending direction. And the actuator 2 mentioned later is connected to the position (preferably center position) in the middle of the length direction (vertical direction of the vertically divided cylindrical surface 5) of this reinforcement part 13. As shown in FIG.
Further, in order to obtain a uniform sound source, it is preferable to form both curved plates 11 symmetrically with respect to the tangent L of the valley 6 as shown in FIGS.

For example, a voice coil motor is used for the actuator 2, and the actuator 2 includes a voice coil 20 joined to a midway position in the length direction of the reinforcing portion 13 of the curved plate 11 and a magnet mechanism 21 fixed to the support frame 3. . In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two actuators 2 are provided at intervals in the length direction of the reinforcing portion 13 of the curved plate 11.
The voice coil 20 is formed by winding a coil 20b around a cylindrical bobbin 20a, and the upper end and the reinforcing portion of the voice coil 20 are arranged so that the reinforcing portion 13 of the curved plate 11 is arranged in the diameter direction thereof. 13 is fixed to the lower edge via an adhesive or the like. The outer periphery of the voice coil 20 is supported by the support frame 3 via the damper 22, and the voice coil 20 can reciprocate along the axial direction of the voice coil 20 with respect to the support frame 3. The damper 22 is made of a material used for a general dynamic speaker.
The magnet mechanism 21 includes an annular magnet 23, a ring-shaped outer yoke 24 fixed to one pole of the magnet 23, and an inner yoke 25 fixed to the other pole. By disposing the tip of the central pole portion 25 a in the outer yoke 24, an annular magnetic gap 26 is formed between the outer yoke 24 and the inner yoke 25, and a voice coil is formed in the magnetic gap 26. 20 ends are arranged in the inserted state.

The support frame 3 is formed of, for example, a metal material, and in the illustrated example, a flange portion 30 formed in a rectangular frame shape, a plurality of arm portions 31 extending below the flange portion 30, and lower ends of these arm portions 31. And a pair of formed annular frames 32 (the number of actuators 2). And the vibrating body 1 is arrange | positioned in the space in the flange part 30 so that the trough part 6 may become parallel to the long side direction of the flange part 30, and the peripheral part of the vibrating body 1, ie, the reinforcement part of both the curved plates 11 A side portion opposite to 13 and the upper end portion of the connecting plate 12 are supported on the upper surface of the flange portion 30 via the edge portion 4. Therefore, the edge portion 4 is formed in a rectangular frame shape corresponding to the outer peripheral portion of the vibrating body 1. The edge portion 4 can also be made of a material used for a general dynamic speaker.
In this embodiment, the support frame 3 and the edge portion 4 constitute a support portion 35 that supports the vibrating body 1 so as to vibrate in the depth direction (z direction) of the trough portion 6.

Further, the reinforcing portion 13 of the curved plate 11 according to the first embodiment is formed in a band shape by bonding one side portions of the two curved plates 11, but as shown in FIGS. The reinforcement part of a vibrating body can also be formed with another structure.
7 to 15 show a vibrating body used in other embodiments of the present invention. In these embodiments, components (actuators, support frames, edge portions, etc.) other than the vibrating body are the first. Since the same elements as those in the embodiment are used, the illustration is omitted, and in each drawing, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements as those in the first embodiment to simplify the description. In FIG. 9 and FIGS. 11 to 15, only the vicinity of the connection portion between the vibrating body and one actuator is shown.
In the vibrating body 1 shown in FIG. 7, by attaching another band plate-shaped reinforcing tool 41 between one side portion of the curved plate 11, the reinforcing portion 13 that holds the bonded portion linearly is provided. Forming. In this case, as compared with the case where the one side portions of the curved plate 11 are directly bonded to each other, the reinforcing effect by the reinforcing tool 41 is obtained, so that the rigidity of the reinforcing portion 13 can be further increased.
In the case of this embodiment, since both the curved plates 11 are separated by the thickness of the reinforcing tool 41 in the trough portion 13, they have tangent lines L1 and L2, respectively, but these tangent lines L1 and L2 are parallel to each other. Further, it is formed symmetrically about a line M passing through the center between both tangent lines L1, L2. In this case, the thickness of the reinforcing tool 41 can be, for example, 1 mm or less, and the width of the flat surface between the vertically divided cylindrical surfaces 5 can be reduced. Or you may make it form a part of vertically-separated cylindrical surface 5 with the reinforcement tool 41 by forming the side surface of the reinforcement tool 41 which faces the trough part 6 in the shape of a groove | channel with a cross-sectional V shape, for example.
Instead of the band plate-shaped reinforcing tool 31, a bonding tool such as a wire may be fixed along the bonding portion of the two curved plates 11 to hold the bonding portion in a straight line.

Moreover, in the vibrating body 1 shown in FIG. 8, as shown to Fig.8 (a), the center part of one film is shape | molded in the folding state (cross-sectional V shape), and the curved board 11 of the center part is formed. As shown in FIG. 8B, the reinforcing portions 13 are formed in a straight line by welding the side portions of the two by pressing them while heating.

In addition, as in the vibrating body 1 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a U-shaped cross section is formed so as to collectively cover one side portions of the pair of vertically split cylindrical surfaces 5 (curved plates 11) from the outside. The reinforcing part 13 can also be formed by attaching the reinforcing tool 42 to the joint part 11 a of the two curved plates 11. In this case, since the reinforcing effect by the reinforcing tool 42 is obtained, the rigidity of the reinforcing portion 13 can be further improved.

When a driving current corresponding to an audio signal flows through the voice coil 20 of the actuator 2 fixed to the vibrating body 1, the speaker configured in this way is subjected to a change in magnetic flux caused by the driving current and a magnetic field in the magnetic gap 26. As a result, a driving force corresponding to the driving current acts on the voice coil 20 to vibrate the voice coil 20 in a direction orthogonal to the magnetic field (the axial direction of the voice coil 20, the vertical direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 5). Thereby, the vibrating body 1 connected to the voice coil 20 vibrates along the depth direction of the valley portion 6, and reproduced sound due to the vibration is radiated from the vertically divided cylindrical surface 5.
In this case, since the vertically split cylindrical surface 5 becomes a vibration surface, the directivity of sound in the lateral direction along the circumferential direction of the vertically split cylindrical surface 5 is similar to the diaphragm used in the Riffel type speaker. It is wide and narrow in the vertical direction. Further, like the Riffel type speaker, it has a wide directivity in the mid-high range.

In the above embodiment, since the outer periphery of the vibrating body 1 is supported by the support frame 3 by the edge portion 4, the entire portion from the reinforcing portion 13 to the outer periphery vibrates uniformly by the actuator 2, so-called Vibration due to piston motion occurs. For this reason, like a dynamic speaker, it has a high sound pressure even in a low sound range.
Therefore, it is possible to realize a full-range speaker unit that can be reproduced with a wide directivity over the entire audible band from the low sound range to the mid-high sound range with a single speaker unit. By arranging a plurality of these speakers in a tandem so that the valleys 6 of the vibrating body 1 are continuous, a line array speaker system can be constructed, and an ideal sound space of a line sound source can be provided.

Moreover, the reinforcement part 13 is provided in the bottom part of the trough part 6 of the vibrating body 1 along the extending direction of the trough part 6, and the rigidity of the trough part 6 is improved. The upper end portion of the cylindrical voice coil 20 of the actuator 2 and the reinforcing portion 13 of the vibrating body 1 are fixed. Thus, since the voice coil 20 of the actuator 2 is configured to drive the reinforcing portion 13 with which rigidity is ensured, the actuator 2 is connected midway in the length direction of the reinforcing portion 13. Nevertheless, the deflection of the reinforcing portion 13 due to the reciprocating motion of the actuator 2 can be reduced, and the reciprocating motion of the actuator 2 can be stably transmitted to the vibrating body 1. Therefore, the drive of the actuator 2 can be reliably transmitted to the vibrating body 1 even in a high sound range with a high frequency, and a high sound pressure can be obtained in the high sound range.
In addition, as the actuator of this embodiment, the actuator 2 that is used for a normal dynamic speaker can be applied, and the actuator 2 can be manufactured at low cost.
Furthermore, as described above, both the vertically-divided cylindrical surfaces 5 are formed as a shape having a common tangent L at the valley 6, and the actuator reciprocates along the same direction as the tangent L of the valley 6. 2 are connected. For this reason, the reciprocating motion of the actuator 2 can be efficiently applied to the end of the curved plate 11, and the curved plate 11 can be driven with a fast response speed and less loss during transmission.
Further, when both ends of the valley portion 6 are in an open state, a part of the sound wave radiated by the diaphragm 1 passes through the opened space to the back side of the curved plate 11, but the connecting plate 12. Since both ends of the valley portion 6 are blocked by the above, it is possible to prevent sound waves from coming off to the back side of the curved plate 11 and efficiently emit sound from the entire front surface of the vibrator 1. .

FIGS. 11 to 15 show other embodiments of the vibrator and actuator constituting the speaker of the present invention. In these drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the common elements as in the first embodiment, and the description will be simplified.
In the vibrating body 1 shown in FIG. 11, the connection portion 43 provided at the upper end portion of the voice coil 20 has a flat band shape along the extending direction of the valley 6 of the vibrating body 1 (the length direction of the vibrating body 1). Is formed. As described above, the voice coil 20 has a coil 20b wound around a bobbin 20a made of paper or the like (see FIG. 1), and the bobbin 20a above the coil 20b is crushed in the radial direction. A flat connection portion 43 is formed in the diameter direction of the voice coil 20. The connecting portion 43 and the reinforcing portion 13 of the vibrating body 1 are overlapped and fixed by a method such as adhesion, and the connecting portion 43 and the reinforcing portion 13 are firmly connected on the surface, thereby vibrating. The driving force of the actuator can be accurately and reliably transmitted to the body 1.

Further, the voice coil 20 of the actuator shown in FIG. 12 has a cylindrical shape as a whole, and a concave groove portion 44 along the extending direction of the valley portion 6 of the vibrating body 1 is formed in the diameter direction of the voice coil 20 at the upper end portion thereof. The reinforcing portion 13 of the vibrating body 1 is engaged with and fixed to the concave groove portion 44. In this case, since the reinforcing portion 13 is engaged with the concave groove portion 44, the concave groove portion 44 is compared with the case where the reinforcing portion 13 is placed and joined to the upper end of a simple cylindrical voice coil without the concave groove portion 44. The connection area between the vibrating body 1 and the voice coil 20 can be increased by an amount corresponding to this depth, and these can be firmly connected.

The voice coil 20 of the actuator shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 is provided with a dust cap 51 that closes the opening of the voice coil 20, and the vibrating body 1 is fixed to the dust cap 51. On the upper surface of the dust cap 51, a recessed groove 51b is provided along the extending direction of the valley 6 of the vibrating body 1, and the reinforcing portion 13 of the vibrating body 1 is engaged and fixed to the recessed groove 51b.
The concave groove 51b allows the reinforcing portion 13 of the vibrating body 1 to be firmly connected to the dust cap 51 by the surface, and the dust cap 51 itself can be firmly connected to the opening of the voice coil 20 by the surface. The driving force can be accurately and reliably transmitted.

On the other hand, a cap 52 that can be fitted to the upper end portion of the voice coil 20 is formed integrally with the reinforcing portion 13 to which one side portion of the curved plate 11 is joined as in the vibrating body 1 shown in FIG. By engaging and fixing the upper end portion of the voice coil 20 to 52, the actuator and the vibrating body 1 can be firmly connected to each other by the surface, and the driving force of the actuator is accurately and reliably transmitted to the vibrating body 1. can do.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change can be added in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.
For example, although the vibrating body in the first embodiment is configured by a curved plate and a connecting plate, the connecting plate is not necessarily required. In the case of providing the connecting plate, the curved plates may not be connected entirely, and only the upper end portion, the lower end portion or the intermediate portion in the height direction may be connected.
In order to obtain a uniform sound source, both curved plates are formed symmetrically with respect to the center of the valley (tangent line L or center line M). However, in the present invention, the curved plates are not necessarily symmetrical. .
In the above embodiment, the vibrating body is supported on the support frame by the edge portion so as to be reciprocally movable. However, in the present invention, the vibrating body includes one having no edge portion. When the edge portion is not provided, the connecting plate is removed, or the connecting plate is provided only at the lower end of the valley portion, and the side portion opposite to the joint portion of both curved plates is fixed to the support frame. . At the fixed part, it is better to fix the side of the curved plate with a flexible material instead of a rigid body, and with such a fixed structure, the vibration of the curved plate is reflected at the fixed part. Can be reduced.
Furthermore, although the voice coil motor is applied as the conversion unit that reciprocally drives the vibrating body, a piezoelectric element or the like may be used instead of the voice coil motor.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1 and the like, the conversion units are provided at two positions with an interval in the length direction (x direction) of the reinforcing portion of the vibrator, but the number of conversion units is limited to two. Instead, one or three or more may be arranged at the center in the length direction (x direction) of the reinforcing portion of the vibrating body or at intervals in the length direction of the reinforcing portion.
Further, in the above embodiments, the present invention is applied to a speaker, but the present invention can also be applied to a microphone. When the present invention is applied to a speaker, a conversion unit such as a voice coil motor converts an electric signal based on a sound signal into vibration of a vibrating body. However, when the present invention is applied to a microphone, a voice coil is used as the conversion unit. A motor or the like can be used, and the conversion unit in that case converts the vibration of the vibrating body that receives a sound wave to vibrate into an electric signal. In the microphone to which the present invention is applied, the vertically split cylindrical surface is the vibration surface, and the vibration member is provided with the reinforcing portion, so that the vibration is transmitted reliably and the directivity is maintained while maintaining the sensitivity. And the sound can be collected with a wide directivity over a wide frequency band from a low sound range to a high sound range.
