本发明提供了一种改进的双面微型发声装置。如图1所示,双面微型发声装置中包括两套振动组件,两套振动组件分别从发声装置的上下两侧向外传出声音,从而提高发声装置所能产生的声音的声学性能。这种双面微型发声装置适用于不同的电子产品,并且应用范围更广。采用双面发声的特点也能够降低电子产品的可靠性风险。
所述双面微型发声装置包括了第一振动组件和第二振动组件。
所述第一振动组件包括第一振膜11、第一音圈12以及第一定心支片13,如图2-5所示。所述第一振膜11上具有第一折环111,所述折环向第一振膜11所在的平面的一侧弯折。如图5所示,所述第一折环111呈环状结构,而在第一折环111中间的部分,也即被所述第一折环111环绕的部 分是能够相对于所述第一折环111外围的部分上下浮动,产生振动。所述第一折环111则用于在第一振膜11的内外区域之间提供弹性形变的能力。如图5所示,所述第一定心支片13上具有第一悬臂132、第一固定区131和第一浮动区133。如图3、4所示,所述第一定心支片13设置在所述第一振膜11的一侧表面上。所述第一固定区131对应于所述第一振膜11的外围区域,所述第一浮动区133对应于所述第一振膜11的中心区域,即被所述第一折环111所环绕的部分。所述第一浮动区133相对于所述第一固定区131能够上下浮动、振动。如图3、4所示,所述第一折环111因为弯折而形成了一部分凹陷区域,所述第一悬臂132则与所述第一折环111的凹陷区域的位置对应。所述第一音圈12则设置在所述第一定位支片的远离所述第一振膜11的一侧。如图3、4所示,所述第一定心支片13夹在所述第一振膜11和第一音圈12之间。
所述第二振动组件包括第二振膜21、第二音圈22以及第二定心支片23。图2-4示出了第二振动组件的装配位置。第二振膜21具有与第一振膜11相似的结构特点,第二音圈22具有与第一音圈12相似的结构特点,所述第二定心支片23具有与第一定心支片13相似的结构特点。
所述第二振膜21上具有第二折环211,所述第二定心支片上则具有第二悬臂232、第二固定区231、第二浮动区233,所述第二定心支片连接在所述第二振膜21的一侧表面上。所述第二悬臂232与所述第二折环211的凹陷区域的位置相对应。第二悬臂232连接在所述第二固定区231和第二浮动区233之间。所述第二音圈22位于所述第二定心支片的远离所述第二振膜21的一侧。
所述磁路系统中包括了中心磁部31和边磁部32,所述边磁部32设置在所述中心磁部31的外围,所述中心磁部31与所述边磁部32之间形成有磁间隙。本发明并不限制所述磁路系统的具体结构形式,例如可以采用单磁路、三磁路、五磁路等方式。
所述第一振动组件和第二振动组件分别设置在所述磁路系统的上下两侧,如图2-4所示。第一振动组件和第二振动组件共用一个磁路系统。所述第一音圈12和第二音圈22分别从所述磁间隙的上下两端伸入至所述 磁间隙中。所述第一折环111和第二折环211分别向相反的方向弯折,例如图3所示的,第一折环111向上弯折,第二折环211则向下弯折。
本发明的技术效果在于,定心支片能够在双面微型发声装置中为两个音圈、振膜提供良好的稳定振动的作用。采用双面微型发声装置一方面能够满足电子产品小型化、微型化的设计趋势。另一方面满足声学性能逐渐提高的性能要求,两个振动组件能够满足响度、复杂声音效果等性能需求。进一步地,在结构尺寸较小的双面微型发声装置中采用定心支片,能够有效提升振动组件抗摇摆、偏振、抵御外界振动干扰的能力。从而使产品能够实现可靠的、最大化应用效果的智能共放,将电子产品的性能最优化。
传统的发声装置在工作时还有可能造成电子产品整机出现振动现象,严重影响电子产品整机的使用效果。而本发明提供的双面微型发声装置由于使第一、第二振动组件反向设置于发声装置的上下两侧,从而为反向振动发声提供了应用条件。在实际应用中,采用反向振动能够有效抵消掉电子产品整机振动的问题。
在实际的装配、加工工艺中,本发明的设计方案采用振膜、定心支片与音圈的端面固定连接的方式进行振动组件的连接,加工工艺简单,可靠性更高。
所述第一振膜、第二振膜的材料可选为热塑性弹性体。热塑性弹性体能够与定心支片形成更稳定的固定连接关系。而且,由热塑性弹性体形成的振膜能够更好的吸收由定心支片产生的缓冲作用,进而提高振动组件的振动稳定性、平衡性。
可选地,所述第一振动组件还包括第一补强件14,所述第一补强件14设置在所述第一定心支片13上,所述第一补强件14位于所述第一振膜11的中心区域,如图2-5所示。类似地,所述第二振动组件也可以包括第二补强件24,所述第二补强件24设置在所述第二定心支片23上,所述第二补强件24位于所述第二振膜21的中心区域。
所述第一补强件14和第二补强件24可以采用冲压等成型工艺,从而在第一补强件14、第二补强件24的中心区域形成凸起、凹陷141、241等结构。这种结构可以进一步提高补强件的结构强度,从而降低振膜发生偏 振的可能性。
设置在振膜上的补强件用于提高振膜中心区域的刚性和强度,从而使得振膜在受力振动时,中心区域不会发生弯折,进而降低振膜发生偏振的可能性,如图9所示。
可选地,如图6所示,所述第一振动组件还包括了第一反折环件15。所述第一反折环件15具有与所述第一振膜11上的第一折环111相似的弯折结构。所述第一反折环件15与所述第一折环111的形状、尺寸相匹配。所述第一反折环件15连接在所述第一定心支片13的远离所述第一振膜11的表面上。所述第一反折环件15的弯折方向与所述第一折环111的弯折方向相反。所述第一定心支片13的第悬臂被包围在所述第一反折环件15与第一折环111之间的区域中,如图6所示。
所述第一反折环件能够进一步地为第一音圈提供抑制偏振,平衡、稳定振动的作用。通过这种设计方案,第一反折环和第一定心支片能够共同作用为第一音圈提供抗摇摆、偏振的能力。
可选地,如图6所示,所述第二振动组件中也可以还包括第二反折环件25。所述第二反折环件25与所述第二振膜21的第二折环211的结构、形状相匹配。所述第二反折环件25在第二振动组件中起到的作用与所述第一反折环件15的作用相同。所述第二反折环件25连接在所述第二定心支片的远离所述第二振膜21的表面上,所述第二反折环件25的弯折方向与所述第二折环211的弯折方向相反,所述第二悬臂232被包围在所述第二反折环件25与第二折环211之间。
在如图6所示的实施方式中,所述第一音圈12可以不直接连接在所述第一定心支片13上,其可以连接在所述第一反折环件15上。相应地,所述第二音圈22可以连接在所述第二反折环件25上。本发明并不对音圈与定心支片的连接形式进行限制。
可选地,如图1、2所示,所述双面微型发声装置可以呈矩形形状。音圈、振膜的折环部在双面微型发声装置的边角位置可以具有圆角结构。所述第一音圈12、第二音圈22均可以具有一对长边和一对短边。
可选地,所述第一定心支片的形状与所述第一音圈12的形状相匹配, 均可以呈具有圆角的矩形结构。所述第一定心支片13在对应于所述第一音圈12的长边处配置有至少两条第一悬臂132。由于第一定心支片13在对应长边的位置处具有较长的距离,所以设置多条第一悬臂132能够使第一定心支片具有更稳定的结构可靠性,也能够更好的为第一音圈12提供抑制偏振的作用。在如图7所示的实施方式中,所述第一定心支片13在对应于长边的位置处设置有两条所述第一悬臂132。在如图8所示的实施方式中,所述第一定心支片13在对应于长边的位置处设置有三条所述第一悬臂132。
本发明并不对所述第一悬臂的形状、数量做严格的限制,可以根据实际应用的需要设置不同数量的第一悬臂。
可选地,与所述第一定心支片类似的,所述第二定心支片23上也可以设置有多条第二悬臂232。所述第二定心支片23在对应于第二音圈22的长边处配置有至少两条第二悬臂232。所述第二定心支片23可以采用如图7、8所示的结构。
可选地,所述第一定心支片13和第二定心支片23在对应于音圈的短边处可以配置有一条或两条悬臂。在如图7、8所示的实施方式中,第一定心支片13在对应第一音圈12的短边处配置有一条第一悬臂132。在定心支片的相对较短的区域配置较少的悬臂既可以保证抑制偏振的效果。
可选地,如图8所示,第一定心支片13上对应于第一音圈12的长边处的第一悬臂132相互平行,同一侧的三条第一悬臂132以平行的方式延伸,能够使第一定心支片表现出更均匀的力学性能,从而适用于对受力均匀的第一音圈和第一振膜提供抑制偏振的作用力。
可选地,如图7所示,所述第一定心支片13上对应于第一音圈12的长边处的第一悬臂132可以向相反的方向延伸。在图7所示的实施方式中,第一定心支片13在对应长边处具有两条第一悬臂132,相邻的两条所述第一悬臂132向相反的方向延伸,从而使第一定心支片13在某一区域提供更强的平衡作用力。这种设计能够更好的对局部受力不均匀的第一振膜、第一音圈提供平衡作用力。在其它实施方式中,例如对应长边设置有三条第一悬臂的情况下,相邻的两条第一悬臂可以向相反的方向延伸。
可选地,与上述第一定心支片的情况相似地,所述第二定心支片也可以对应于第二音圈以相同的方式布置所述第二悬臂。
可选地,本发明提供的双面微型发声装置可以采用单磁铁的单磁路磁路系统,也可以采用三磁铁、五磁铁的多磁路磁路系统。
例如,所述磁路系统的中心磁部31可以为中心磁铁,而所述边磁部32则采用边导磁板、盆架上弯折的侧壁等导磁部件构成。这种边磁部32至少设置在所述中心磁铁的两个对称的侧壁的外围,这样就可以在所述中心磁铁的至少两侧形成磁间隙,进而驱动音圈振动。这种实施方式的优点在于,节省空间和所采用的磁铁部件。
再例如,所述中心磁部31可以为中心磁铁,所述边磁部32则包括成对的两支条形边磁铁,两支所述条形边磁铁分别设置在所述中心磁铁的两个对称的侧壁的外围。这样,同样可以在中心磁铁的至少两侧形成磁间隙,进而驱动音圈。这种实施方式的优点在于,在尽可能节省空间的情况下,为音圈提供更强的电磁驱动作用力,强化振动组件的振动性能。
进一步地,再例如,所述边磁部包括四支条边磁铁,四支所述条形边磁铁两两成对,两对所述条形边磁铁分别设置在所述中心磁铁的两对对称的侧壁的外围。也即,两对所述条形边磁铁依次、间隔的环绕设置在所述中心磁铁的周围。这种实施方式的优点在于,能够在中心磁铁的四周均形成由磁铁与磁铁之间构成的磁间隙,显著提高音圈和振膜的受力均匀程度,并提高振动性能。
可选地,所述中心磁部31上可以开设有通孔311,所述通孔311在所述第一振动组件的第一振膜11与第二振动组件的第二振膜21之间形成连通,如图9所示。所述通孔311能够改善所述双面微型发声装置内部的空气流动空间,降低气压、气流对振膜和音圈的影响,从而降低发生偏振的可能性。
进一步地,在振动组件包括补强件的实施方式中,所述补强件上可以形成有凸起或凹陷,如上所述。所述通孔311可以与所述凸起或凹陷的位置相对应,如图9所示。这种实施方式能够更好的降低气流、气压的影响。
本发明还提供了一种电子产品,该电子产品包括产品主体和上述双面 微型发声装置。所述双面微型发声装置设置在所述产品主体中,所述双面微型发声装置被配置为能通过第一振动组件和第二振动组件的振动产生声音。
虽然已经通过示例对本发明的一些特定实施例进行了详细说明,但是本领域的技术人员应该理解,以上示例仅是为了进行说明,而不是为了限制本发明的范围。本领域的技术人员应该理解,可在不脱离本发明的范围和精神的情况下,对以上实施例进行修改。本发明的范围由所附权利要求来限定。
