具体实施方式
为了更清楚地说明本申请的实施例的技术方案,下面将对实施例描述中所需要使用的附图作简单的介绍。显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本申请的一些示例或实施例,对于本领域的普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图将本申请应用于其他类似情景。除非从语言环境中显而易见或另做说明,图中相同标号代表相同结构或操作。
如本申请和权利要求书中所示,除非上下文明确提示例外情形,“一”、“一个”、“一种”和/或“该”等词并非特指单数,也可包括复数。一般说来,术语“包括”与“包含”仅提示包括已明确标识的步骤和元素,而这些步骤和元素不构成一个排它性的罗列,方法或者设备也可能包含其他的步骤或元素。
应当理解,本文使用的术语“数据块”、“系统”、“引擎”、“单元”、“组件”、“模块”和/或“块”是用以区分不同级别的不同组件、元件、部件、部分或组件的一种方法。然而,如果其他词语可以实现相同的目的,则可通过其他表达来替换所述词语。
使用各种术语描述元素之间(例如,层之间)的空间和功能关系,包括“连接”、“接合”、“接口”和“耦合”。除非明确描述为“直接”,否则在本申请中描述第一和第二元素之间的关系时,该关系包括在第一和第二元素之间不存在其他中间元素的直接关系,以及在第一和第二元素之间存在(空间或功能上)一个或以上中间元素的间接关系。相反,当元件被称为“直接”连接、接合、接口或耦合到另一元件时,不存在中间元件。另外,可以以各种方式实现元件之间的空间和功能关系。例如,两个元件之间的机械连接可包括焊接连接、键连接、销连接、过盈配合连接等,或其任何组合。用于描述元素之间关系的其他词语应以类似的方式解释(例如,“之间”、“与......之间”、“相邻”与“直接相邻”等)。
本申请的实施例中提供了一种声学输出装置。该声学输出装置可以包括扬声器组件。扬声器组件可以包括换能装置、振膜和壳体。换能装置可以将音频信号转换为机械振动信号。振膜可以在换能装置的带动下振动以产生气导声波。
壳体可以形成用于容纳换能装置和振膜的容置腔。振膜可以分隔容置腔以形成第一腔室和第二腔室。壳体上可以设置有与第二腔室连通的出声孔。气导声波可以经出声孔向声学输出装置外部传输。在一些实施例中,换能装置产生的振动传递到壳体后,会引起壳体产生较为明显的振动。壳体的振动经由壳体上与用户接触的区域会进一步传递给用户,从而形成用户可以感知的骨导声。同时,振膜产生的气导声波可以经出声孔向外传输给用户,使得 用户能听到气导声。此时,该声学输出装置可以同时产生传递给用户的骨导声和气导声,为方便起见,可以叫做气导骨导结合的声学输出装置。在一些可替代的实施例中,换能装置仅能引起壳体产生微弱的且几乎无法被用户感知的振动。此时,该声学输出装置可以被认为仅产生传递给用户的气导声,为方便起见,可以叫做气导声学输出装置。在本申请的实施例中,除非特别说明,与产生的气导声有关的结构(例如,出声孔、调声孔、泄压孔、声阻网等)既可以适用于上述声学输出装置能够同时产生骨导声和气导声的情况,也可以在本领域技术人员不经过创造性劳动的情况下,认为同样适用于上述声学输出装置仅产生气导声的情况。
在一些实施例中,壳体上还设置有与出声孔连通的导声通道,以用于向声学输出装置外部的目标方向引导气导声波。导声通道的长度小于或等于7mm。在一些实施例中,通过设置合适长度的导声通道可以将更多的气导声波向人耳引导,使用户的听音音量增大。此外,通过设置导声通道的参数(例如,导声通道的横截面积、导声通道的形状等),还可以调节气导声波的频响,从而调节声学输出装置的音质。在一些实施例中,导声通道可以设置在导声部件上。导声部件还可以具有凹陷区。壳体朝向导声通道的一侧可以部分切除,致使其内部结构形成一凸台。当导声部件与壳体扣合时,凸台可以嵌设在凹陷区,这样既可以避免声学输出装置局部过厚,又不妨碍导声部件与壳体之间的固定,从而简化声学输出装置的结构。
由于第二腔室与出声孔和/或导声通道的相互作用,声学输出装置产生的气导声波在较高频段可能会具有第一谐振峰,从而导致声学输出装置输出的气导声音和由此产生的漏音在第一谐振峰的峰值频率附近的频段有突增,使得听音音质不均衡同时漏音增大。在一些实施例中,可以在声学输出装置中设置与第二腔室连通的亥姆霍兹共振腔,以吸收第一谐振峰附近频段的声音,从而起到提高音质的同时降低漏音的效果。在一些实施例中,壳体可以包括构成第一腔室的第一壳体和构成第二腔体的第二壳体。通过将第一壳体的第一谐振频率设置得比第二壳体的第二谐振频率大,可以使得声学输出装置在小于第二谐振频率的频段产生较强的气导声波,而在高于第二谐振频率的频段几乎不产生气导声波。因此,通过调节第二壳体的第二谐振频率,可以利用气导声波对骨导声波的特定频段进行补充。
在一些实施例中,当壳体上的皮肤接触区域在换能装置的带动下振动以产生骨导声波时,可以通过将皮肤接触区进行倾斜设置,以减小皮肤接触区域与用户皮肤的贴合程度, 削弱皮肤对扬声器组件振动的影响,从而使得壳体可以振动产生较大的气导声波的同时不影响骨导声波的传递效率。在一些实施例中,可以将皮肤接触区域设置在传递组件上,并通过传递组件将扬声器组件产生的骨导声波传递到用户,以改变皮肤接触区域的振动程度和其与用户皮肤之间的贴合程度。
在一些实施例中,可以通过信号处理电路预先对音频信号进行均衡处理,来削弱第一谐振峰的峰值频率附近的气导声强度。例如,对音频信号的第一频段的信号增益系数大于第二频段的信号增益系数,其中,第二频段高于第一频段。第一谐振峰的峰值频率位于或高于第二频段。
图1A是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。图1B是图1A中的声学输出装置的爆炸图。声学输出装置100可以将音频信号(例如,电信号)转化为机械振动信号,并以声音的形式向外界输出。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置100可以包括助听器、耳机、听音手环、智能眼镜、手机、音箱、智能眼镜等具有声音输出能力的设备。在本申请的实施例中,声学输出装置100将以耳机为例进行示例性说明。如图1A和1B所示,声学输出装置100可以包括两个扬声器组件110、两个耳挂组件120、后挂组件130、控制电路组件140和电池组件150。后挂组件130的两端可以分别与对应的一个耳挂组件120的一端物理连接。两个耳挂组件120的另一端可以分别与两个扬声器组件110物理连接。当用户佩戴声学输出装置100时,两个扬声器组件110可以分别位于用户头部的左侧和右侧。在一些实施例中,物理连接可以包括注塑连接、焊接、铆接、螺栓、粘接、卡接等或其任意组合。
如图1B所示,扬声器组件110可以包括机芯壳体112和机芯模组114。机芯壳体112可以用于容置机芯模组114的至少一部分。机芯模组114可以用于将音频信号(例如,电信号)转化为机械振动信号,从而产生声音。在一些实施例中,机芯模组114可以包括换能装置、振膜等。换能装置可以用于响应于接收到的音频信号而产生机械振动信号。振膜可以在换能装置的带动下振动以产生通过空气传导的声波(也可以称为气导声波或气导声音)。例如,振膜可以与换能装置和/或机芯壳体112物理连接。振膜可以相对于机芯壳体112和/或换能装置相对运动,从而使机芯壳体112中的空气的振动。空气的振动可以作用于用户的耳朵(例如,鼓膜)从而传递至听觉神经而被用户听到。
在一些实施例中,机芯壳体112可以包括皮肤接触区域116。皮肤接触区域116可以与用户的皮肤接触。当声学输出装置100为气导骨导结合的声学输出装置时,换能装置产生的振动信号可以通过皮肤接触区域116直接作用于用户的骨骼和/或组织,从而通过骨骼和/或组织传递给用户的听觉神经而被用户听到。在本申请的实施例中,通过骨骼和/或组织传递机械振动信号从而被用户听到的声音可以被称为骨导声波或骨导声音。皮肤接触区域116也可以被称为机芯壳体112的前壳体或第一壳体。机芯壳体112上与前壳体116相对的表面115也可以被称为机芯壳体112的后壳体或第二壳体。在一些实施例中,皮肤接触区域116的材料和厚度可能会影响到骨导声波向用户的传输,从而影响声音质量。例如,如果皮肤接触区域116的材料相对柔软,则低频范围内的骨导声波的传输可以比高频范围内的骨导声波的传输更好。相反,如果皮肤接触区域116的材料相对硬,则在高频范围内的骨导声波的传输可以比在低频范围内的骨导声波的传输更好。更多关于扬声器组件的描述可以参见本申请的其他地方(例如,图2A、图4、图6A、图9及其描述)。
需要注意的是,在本申请的实施例中,气导声波和骨导声波可以表示输入到换能装置中的音频信号所包含的语音内容。语音内容可以由气导声波和骨导声波中的频率成分表示。在一些实施例中,气导声波和骨导声波中的频率成分可以不同。例如,骨导声波可以包括更多的低频成分,而气导声波可以包括更多的高频成分。在本申请的实施例中,低频段对应的频率范围可以包括20Hz-150Hz,中频段对应的频率范围可以包括150Hz-5kHz,高频段对应的频率范围可以包括5kHz-20kHz。中低频段对应的频率范围可以包括150Hz-500Hz,中高频段对应的频率范围可以包括500Hz-5kHz。
耳挂组件120可以包括耳挂122和容置仓124。容置仓124可以用于容置声学输出装置100的一个或以上部件。例如,控制电路组件140和/或电池组件150可以设置于容置仓124内。又例如,声学输出装置100还可以包括拾音组件、通信组件(例如,蓝牙组件、近场通信(NFC)组件)等。拾音组件、通信组件等可以设置在容置仓124内。其中,拾音组件可以用于拾取外界的声音,并将其转化为音频信号,通信组件可以用于将声学输出装置100无线连接至其他设备(例如,手机、电脑等)。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置100的一个或以上部件可以设置在同一耳挂组件120的容置仓内。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置100的一个或以上部件可以分别设置在两个耳挂组件120的容置仓内。例如,控制电路组件140和电池组件150可以设置在同一耳挂组件120的容置仓124内或分别设置在两个耳挂组 件120的容置仓124内。在一些实施例中,控制电路组件140和/或电池组件150可以通过相应的导线与两个机芯模组114电性连接,其中,控制电路组件140可以用于控制机芯模组114将电信号转化成机械振动信号,电池组件150可以用于给声学输出装置100供电。例如,可以在耳挂122中提供引线以建立机芯模组114与其他部件(例如,控制电路组件140、电池组件150等)之间的电性连接,以促进机芯模组114的电源和数据传输。
在一些实施例中,耳挂122可以设置成弯曲状,以用于挂设在用户的耳部与头部之间,进而便于实现声学输出装置100的佩戴需求。具体地,耳挂122可以包括弹性支持件(例如,弹性金属丝)。弹性支持件可以被构造为将耳挂122保持为与用户的耳朵(例如,耳廓)相匹配的形状,并具有一定的弹性,从而可以根据耳朵的形状和头部的形状发生一定的弹性变形。当用户佩戴声学输出装置100时,声学输出装置100可以适应于具有不同耳朵形状和/或头部形状的用户。在一些实施例中,弹性支持件可以由具有良好的变形恢复能力的记忆合金制成。即使耳挂122由于外力而变形,当去除外力时,耳挂122也可以恢复到其原始形状,从而延长了声学输出装置100的寿命。在一些实施例中,耳挂122还可包括保护套126和与保护套126一体形成的壳体保护器128。
在一些实施例中,后挂组件130可以设置成弯曲状,以用于绕设在用户的头部后侧。两个扬声器组件110可以在两个耳挂组件120和后挂组件130的配合作用下与用户的皮肤紧密贴合,从而使声学输出装置100佩戴更稳固。在一些实施例中,后挂组件130也可以包括容置仓。声学输出装置100的一个或以上部件(例如,控制电路组件140和/或电池组件150)可以设置于该容置仓内。
应当注意以上对声学输出装置100的描述旨在说明,而不是限制本申请的范围。许多替代、修改和变化对于本领域普通技术人员来说是显而易见的。本文描述的示例性实施例的特征、结构、方法和其他特征可以以各种方式组合以获得附加和/或替代示例性实施例。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置100可以具有其他佩戴方式。例如,耳挂组件120可以设置成包覆用户的耳朵,后挂组件130可以跨过用户的头顶。再例如,两个扬声器组件110可以通过有线或者无线的方式进行通信。当该两个扬声器组件110通过无线的方式进行通信时,该两个扬声器组件110之间可以具有或者不具有物理连接结构。例如,每个扬声器组件110都可以配有单独的耳挂结构,每个的耳挂结构可以独立地将其对应的扬声器组件110 固定在用户的左耳或右耳附近,或者两个耳挂结构之间可以进一步通过连接杆固定连接在一起。
图2A至图2E是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。如图2A所示,声学输出装置200A可以包括换能装置210、振膜220和壳体230。壳体230可以形成用于容纳换能装置210和振膜220的容置腔。换能装置210可以用于将接收到的音频信号(例如,电信号)转化为机械振动信号。例如,声学输出装置200A还可以包括信号处理电路(未示出)。换能装置210可以与信号处理电路电连接以接收音频信号,并基于该音频信号生成机械振动信号。关于信号处理电路的更多描述可以参见本说明书中的其他地方(例如,图15和图16及其描述)。振膜220可以在换能装置210的带动下振动并产生气导声波。气导声波可以通过壳体230上的一个或多个出声孔234传递给用户。在一些实施例中,换能装置210和振膜220也可以称为机芯模组。壳体230也可以称为机芯壳体。换能装置210、振膜220和壳体230也可以称为扬声器组件。
在一些实施例中,换能装置210可以与壳体230物理连接。壳体230可以包括皮肤接触区域231(也可以称为第一壳体)。当用户佩戴声学输出装置200A时,皮肤接触区域231的至少部分可以与用户的皮肤接触,并在换能装置210的带动下振动并产生骨导声波。在一些实施例中,当用户佩戴声学输出装置200A时,皮肤接触区域231的第一区域可以与用户的皮肤接触,皮肤接触区域231的第二区域可以不与用户的皮肤接触。换句话说,当用户佩戴声学输出装置200A时,皮肤接触区域231可以是例如,倾斜设置的。关于声学输出装置的皮肤接触区域的更多描述可以参见本说明书中的其他地方(例如,图11及其描述)。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置200A还可以包括传递组件(未示出)。传递组件可以与壳体230物理连接。传递组件上可以设置有皮肤接触区域。换能装置210产生的机械振动信号可以通过传递组件上的皮肤接触区域传递给用户以产生骨导声波。关于传递组件的更多描述可以参见本说明书中的其他地方(例如,图12至图14及其描述)。
在一些实施例中,换能装置210可以是或包括将音频信号(例如,电信号)转换成机械振动信号的任何元件(例如,振动马达、电磁振动装置等)。示例性的信号转换方式可以包括但不限于电磁类型(例如,动圈型、动铁型、磁致伸缩型)、压电型、静电型等。换能装置210的内部结构可以是单共振系统或复合共振系统。在一些实施例中,换能装置210可以包括磁路组件211和线圈213。磁路组件211可以包括一个或多个磁性元件和/或磁导元 件,其可以用于提供磁场。对于气导声学输出装置,换能装置210中的线圈213可以直接固定在振膜220上。换能装置210的振动可以直接带动振膜220的振动以产生气导声。对于气导骨导结合的声学输出装置,线圈213可以与壳体230物理连接。线圈213可以响应于接收到的音频信号在磁场的作用下产生振动,并驱动壳体230(例如,第一壳体231)振动以产生骨导声波。第一壳体231可以接触用户的皮肤(例如,用户的头部上的皮肤),并且将骨导声波传递到耳蜗。具体地,磁路组件211可以包括磁间隙。磁路组件211可以在磁间隙中产生磁场。线圈213可以位于磁间隙中。当在线圈213中通入电流(即,音频信号)时,线圈213可在磁场中振动,并驱动第一壳体231振动。当用户佩戴声学输出装置200A时,线圈213的振动可以通过第一壳体231传递到用户的骨骼和/或组织,并通过骨骼和/或组织传递至用户的耳蜗,从而使用户听到声音(即,骨导声波)。在一些实施例中,换能装置210还可以包括弹簧片(未示出)。弹簧片的中心区域可以与磁路组件211连接。弹簧片的周边区域可以与壳体230连接,以将磁路组件211悬挂在壳体230内。
在一些实施例中,振膜220可以隔开壳体230形成的容置腔以形成第一腔室222和第二腔室224。例如,振膜220可以连接在换能装置210与壳体230之间,以与换能装置210(例如,磁导组件211)配合将容置腔分隔为第一腔室222和第二腔室224。又例如,振膜220可以沿着磁路组件211的后表面围设一圈并与壳体230连接,以将容置腔分隔成第一腔室222和第二腔室224。需要注意的是,在本说明书中,部件的“前”面部分或“后”面部分是指当用户佩戴声学输出装置200A时,该部分相对于用户皮肤远近而言。例如,当用户佩戴声学输出装置200A时,第一腔室222可以相较于第二腔室224靠近用户的皮肤。第一腔室222也可以称为前腔,第二腔室224也可以称为后腔。
振膜220可以基于换能装置210和/或壳体230的振动在第一腔室222和/或第二腔室224中产生气导声波。具体地,振膜220可以与换能装置210(例如,磁路组件211)和/或壳体230物理连接,例如,振膜220整体位于换能装置210的下侧(即后侧)并包裹在换能装置210底壁和侧壁的部分区域。当换能装置210振动时,换能装置210的振动可驱动壳体230和/或振膜220振动。振膜220的振动可以引起第一腔室222和/或第二腔室224的空气振动。第一腔室222和/或第二腔室224的空气振动可以通过设置在壳体230上的出声孔234向声学输出装置200A外部传播(即,产生气导声波)。在一些实施例中,出声孔234可以设置成使第一腔室222与外部连通。在这种情况下,换能装置210与出声孔234可 以位于振膜220的同侧。皮肤接触区域231可以不与用户的皮肤接触。也就是说,声学输出装置200A可以只输出气导声波。在一些实施例中,出声孔234可以设置成使第二腔室224与外部连通。在这种情况下,换能装置210与出声孔234可以位于振膜220的两侧。需要知道的是,由于换能装置210产生的骨导声波的相位与第二腔室224中产生的气导声波的相位相同,为了使声学输出装置200A具有更高的音量,在本说明书中,将以出声孔234设置成与第二腔室224连通作为示例,其并不限制本申请的范围。在一些实施例中,当用户佩戴声学输出设备200A时,出声孔234可以面对用户的耳朵的外耳道。
在一些实施例中,壳体230可以包括第一壳体231和第二壳体233。第一壳体231和第二壳体233扣合连接可以构成壳体230。第一壳体231可以构成第一腔室222侧壁的至少一部分,第二壳体233可以构成第二腔室224侧壁的至少一部分,其中,第一壳体231与第二壳体233可以具有不同的谐振频率。关于第一壳体和第二壳体的谐振频率的更多描述可以参见本申请中的其他地方(例如,图9及其描述)。
在一些实施例中,壳体230(例如,第二壳体233)在振动的过程中可以带动其周围的空气振动,从而在声学输出装置200A的周围产生一路气导声波。由于第二壳体233因振动产生的气导声波与出声孔234输出的气导声波的相位相反,因此,出声孔234的位置离第二壳体233越近,两路气导声波反相相消的程度越大,这样会减少进入用户耳朵的气导声(即第二腔室中产生的并且传递到用户耳朵的气导声)的音量。在一些实施例中,为了提升听音音量和音质,声学输出装置200A可以进一步包括与出声孔234连通的导声通道(例如,图2A所示的导声通道240a)。穿过出声孔234的气导声波可进入导声通道,并通过导声通道从导声通道的出口端沿特定方向传播。这样,导声通道可以改变气导声波传播的方向,从而向声学输出装置200A外部的目标方向(例如,耳朵)引导气导声波。此外,利用导声通道可以缩短声学输出装置200A的声音出口端(即,导声通道出口端)和用户耳朵之间的距离,同时可以拉大声学输出装置200A的声音出口端与第二壳体233之间的距离。换句话说,导声通道可以使得在第二腔室224(或后腔)中产生的气导声波通过离耳朵更近的出声孔输出,让更多的声音进入耳朵。
在一些实施例中,导声通道的出口端可以设置成指向各个方向。例如,如图2A所示,声学输出装置200A的导声通道240a的出口端可以设置成指向用户的脸部。又例如,如图2B所示,声学输出装置200B的导声通道240b的出口端可以设置成指向用户的耳廓。 再例如,如图2C所示,声学输出装置200C的导声通道240c的出口端可以采用斜出口的方式,以此设置成指向用户的耳道。通过设置导声通道的出口朝向,可以优化气导声波的指向性和/或强度。在一些实施例中,导声通道可以包括各种形状。例如,导声通道可以包括弯折式导声通道。又例如,导声通道可以包括直通式导声通道。在一些实施例中,弯折式导声通道的结构无法从其入口端和出口端中的任意一端观察到另一端的全部,例如,如图2A、图2B或图2C中分别所示的导声通道240a、导声通道240b和导声通道240c。直通式导声通道的结构可以从其入口端和出口端中的任意一端观察到另一端的全部,如图2D和图2E所示的声学输出装置200D的导声通道240d和声学输出装置200E的导声通道240e。需要知道的是,斜出口方式的出口端可以使得导声通道的出口端的实际面积不受导声通道的横截面积限制,相当于增大导声通道的横截面积,进而有利于气导声的输出。在一些实施例中,导声通道的通道壁可以包括曲面结构,以有利于实现导声通道与大气之间的声阻抗匹配,进而有利于气导声音的输出,例如,如图2E中导声通道240e的侧壁所示。
在一些实施例中,具有第二腔室224、导声通道和出声孔234的声学结构可以等效为亥姆霍兹共振腔结构,因此声学输出装置200A输出的气导声波在某一频段内会产生第一谐振峰(即,亥姆霍兹共振腔结构的谐振峰)。针对亥姆霍兹共振腔结构,其谐振频率可以通过公式(1)确定:
Figure PCTCN2021095996-appb-000001
其中,f 0表示亥姆霍兹共振腔结构的谐振频率,S表示导声通道出口端的横截面积,V表示第二腔室224的体积,l表示导声通道的长度,r表示导声通道的等效半径。因此,可以通过调节第二腔室224的体积、导声通道出口端的横截面积、导声通道长度等参数来调节亥姆霍兹共振腔结构的声音谐振频率(即,声学输出装置200A输出的气导声波的谐振频率),从而影响声学输出装置的音质。例如,导声通道的横截面积变小,可以使得高频谐振峰频率下降。导声通道长度变短,可以使得高频谐振峰频率上升。在一些实施例中,为了使得声学输出装置200A具有较好的语音输出效果,例如,其频响曲线在较宽的频段上都比较平坦,可以使的第一谐振峰尽量处于更高频位置。在一些实施例中,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于1kHz。在一些实施例中,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于1.5kHz。在一些实施例中,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于2kHz。在一些实施例中,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于2.5kHz。在一些实施例中,第一谐振 峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于3kHz。在一些实施例中,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于3.5kHz。在一些实施例中,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于4kHz。在一些实施例中,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以大于或者等于4.5kHz。
在一些实施例中,导声通道可以具有均匀的横截面积。为了保证出声口出声音量,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于4mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于4.8mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于6mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于8mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于10mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于12mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于15mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于20mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的横截面积可以大于或等于25mm 2
在一些实施例中,出声孔234的横截面积可以沿气导声波的传输方向逐渐减小。导声通道的横截面积可以沿气导声波的传输方向逐渐增大,使得导声通道呈喇叭状(如图2D中的导声通道240d所示)。在一些实施例中,导声通道的入口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于10mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的入口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于12mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的入口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于15mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的入口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于20mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的入口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于30mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的入口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于50mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的出口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于15mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的出口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于20mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的出口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于25mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的出口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于30mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的出口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于35mm 2。在一些实施例中,导声通道的出口端的横截面积可以大于或者等于40mm 2
在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以小于或等于7mm。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以小于或等于6mm。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以小于或等于5mm。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以小于或等于4mm。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以小于或等于3mm。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以小于或等于2mm。在一些 实施例中,导声通道的长度可以小于或等于1mm。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以在1mm-5mm范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以在1.5mm-4mm范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以在2mm-3.5mm范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的长度可以为2.5mm。在一些实施例中,对于直通式导声通道而言,导声通道的长度可以指其入口端与出口端的几何中心之间的距离。例如,如图2D所示,导声通道240d的入口端的几何中心为点m,导声通道240d的出口端的几何中心为点n,则导声通道240d的长度可以表示为点m与点n之间的距离。在一些实施例中,对于弯折式导声通道而言,可以将弯折式导声通道划分成两个或者两个以上直通式子导声通道,并将直通式子导声通道的长度之和作为弯折式导声通道的长度。例如,如图2A所示,直通式子导声通道240a可以被划分为第一直通式子导声通道242a和第二直通式导声通道244a。第一直通式子导声通道242a(或导声通道240a)的入口端的几何中心为点a,第一直通式子导声通道242a的出口端(或第二直通式导声通道244a的入口端)的几何中心为点b。第二直通式导声通道244a(或导声通道240a)的出口端的几何中心为点c,则导声通道240a的长度可以表示为点a与点b之间的距离和点b与点c之间的距离之和。再例如,如图2B所示,直通式子导声通道240b可以被划分为第一直通式子导声通道242b、第二直通式导声通道244b和第三直通式导声通道246b。第一直通式子导声通道242b(或导声通道240b)的入口端的几何中心为点w,第一直通式子导声通道242b的出口端(或第二直通式导声通道244b的入口端)的几何中心为点x。第二直通式导声通道244b(或第三直通式导声通道246b)的入口端的几何中心为点y。第三直通式导声通道246b(或导声通道240b)的出口端的几何中心为点z,则导声通道240b的长度可以表示为点w与点x之间的距离、点x与点y之间的距离、以及点y与点z之间的距离之和。
在一些实施例中,第二腔室224的体积可以不大于400mm 3。在一些实施例中,第二腔室224的体积可以在200mm 3-400mm 3范围之内。在一些实施例中,第二腔室224的体积可以在250mm 3-380mm 3范围之内。在一些实施例中,第二腔室224的体积可以在300mm 3-360mm 3范围之内。在一些实施例中,第二腔室224的体积可以在320mm 3-355mm 3范围之内。在一些实施例中,第二腔室224的体积可以在340mm 3-350mm 3范围之内。在一些实施例中,第二腔室224的体积可以为350mm 3。在一些实施例中,导声通道的体积与第二腔室224的体积的比值可以在0.05-0.9范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的体积与第二 腔室224的体积的比值可以在0.1-0.8范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的体积与第二腔室224的体积的比值可以在0.2-0.7范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的体积与第二腔室224的体积的比值可以在0.3-0.6范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的体积与第二腔室224的体积的比值可以在0.4-0.5范围之内。在一些实施例中,导声通道的体积与第二腔室224的体积的比值可以为0.45。
在一些实施例中,导声通道240a的出口端可以盖设有第一声阻网250。第一声阻网250可以用于调节经出声孔234输出至声学输出装置200A外部的气导声,以便于削弱第二腔室224中产生的气导声在中高频段或者高频段的谐振峰的峰值,使得声学输出装置200A的气导声的频响曲线更加平滑,听音效果更好。此外,第一声阻网250还可以在一定程度上使得第二腔室224与外部隔开,以便于增加声学输出装置200A的防水防尘性能。
在本说明书中,声阻网可以由纱网线编织而成。纱网线的线径、疏密程度等因素可以影响声阻网的声阻。纵向间隔排列和横向间隔排列的多根纱网线中每四根彼此相交的纱网线即可围设形成一孔隙(如图3所示)。图3是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声阻网的示意图。声阻网300的纱网线的中心线所围成的区域的面积可以定义为S1,纱网线的边缘实际所围成的区域(也即是孔隙)的面积可以定义为S2;那么孔隙率可以定义为S2/S1。孔隙尺寸可以表示为具有相同排列方向的任意相邻两根纱网线之间的间距,即,孔隙的边长。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的声阻可以小于或者等于300MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的声阻可以小于或者等于280MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的声阻可以小于或者等于260MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的声阻可以小于或者等于240MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的声阻可以小于或者等于200MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的声阻可以小于或者等于150MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的声阻可以小于或者等于100MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙率可以大于或者等于10%。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙率可以大于或者等于13%。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙率可以大于或者等于15%。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙率可以大于或者等于20%。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙率可以大于或者等于25%。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙率可以大于或者等于30%。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙尺寸可以大于或者等于15μm。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙尺寸可以大于或者等于18μm。在 一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙尺寸可以大于或者等于20μm。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙尺寸可以大于或者等于25μm。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙尺寸可以大于或者等于30μm。在一些实施例中,第一声阻网250的孔隙尺寸可以大于或者等于35μm。
在一些实施例中,换能装置210还可以包括线圈支架。线圈213可以设置在线圈支架上。线圈支架的至少一部分可以沿壳体振动方向的垂直方向从壳体230的侧向外露。在这种情况下,声学输出装置200A还可以包括导声部件。导声部件可以设置有导声通道和凹陷区。当导声部件与壳体物理连接时,线圈支架可以位于凹陷区内。关于导声部件的更多描述可以参见本申请中的其他地方(例如,图4和图5及其描述)。
应当注意以上对声学输出装置的描述旨在说明,而不是限制本申请的范围。许多替代、修改和变化对于本领域普通技术人员来说是显而易见的。本文描述的示例性实施例的特征、结构、方法和其他特征可以以各种方式组合以获得附加和/或替代示例性实施例。例如,在上面示例的一个或多个声学结构(例如,出声孔、导声通道、扬声器组件等)的数量、大小、形状和/或位置可以根据实际需要设置。又例如,壳体230(例如,第一壳体231)上可以设置有与第一腔室222连通的泄压孔232,以有助于壳体230的第一腔室222与外部之间的压力平衡。再例如,第一腔室222和第二腔室224可以不流体连通。在一些实施例中,第一腔室222和第二腔室224可以处于流体连通。例如,振膜220上可以设置有一个或多个通孔。
图4是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。图5是图4中的声学输出装置的爆炸图。如图4所示,声学输出装置400可以与图2A中所示的声学输出装置200A相似。例如,声学输出装置400可以包括换能装置410、振膜420、壳体430和导声通道440。壳体430可以包括第一壳体431和第二壳体433。壳体430可以形成用于容纳换能装置410和振膜420中的至少部分元件的容置腔。容置腔可以包括第一腔室422和第二腔室424。第一腔室422可以用于容纳换能装置410的至少一部分。壳体430上可以设置有与第一腔室422连通的泄压孔432。壳体430上可以设置有与第二腔室424连通的出声孔434。又例如,换能装置410可以包括磁路组件411和线圈413。更多关于声学输出装置400的描述可以参见本申请的其他地方(例如,图2A及其描述)。
在一些实施例中,换能装置410还可以包括线圈支架415。线圈支架415可以设置在第一腔室422内以用于支撑线圈413。例如,线圈支架415可以将线圈413固定在壳体 430(例如,第一壳体431)上,并使得线圈413伸入磁路组件410的磁间隙。又例如,线圈支架415可以与壳体430连接。当线圈413在磁路组件411提供的磁场作用下振动时,线圈413可以带动线圈支架415振动,从而起到带动壳体430振动。
声学输出装置400还可以包括导声部件450。导声部件450可以与壳体430物理连接。导声通道440可以设置在导声部件450上。在一些实施例中,线圈支架415的至少一部分可以沿壳体430的振动方向的垂直方向(例如,图4中的方向B)从壳体430(例如,第一壳体431)的侧向外露。在这种情况下,导声部件450还可以包括凹陷区452。当导声部件450与壳体430物理连接时,线圈支架415可以位于凹陷区452内。换句话说,第一壳体431位于导声部件450(或出声孔434)的一侧可以至少部分被切除,以形成使线圈支架415至少部分外露。导声部件450可以扣合于线圈支架415的外露部分4155和第二壳体433,和第二壳体433时,使得导声通道440与出声孔432连通。如此,第一壳体431位于导声部件450所在的一侧可以不用完全包裹线圈支架415,既可以避免声学输出装置400局部过厚,又不妨碍导声部件450与壳体430之间的固定。
仅作为示例,线圈支架415的外露部分4155与第二壳体433的位于导声孔434所在的一侧的至少部分4157可以配合形成一凸台。在一些实施例中,第二壳体433的至少部分4157可以称为第一子凸台部。线圈支架415的外露部分4155也可以称为第二子凸台部。在这种情况下,出声孔434的出口端可以位于第一子凸台部4157的顶部。相应地,导声部件450朝向线圈支架415和第二壳体433一侧可以设置有凹陷区452。此时,导声通道440的入口端可以与凹陷区452的凹陷底部连通。如此,当导声部件450与壳体430组装时,凸台可以嵌设在凹陷区452内,并使得导声通道440与出声孔434连通。在一些实施例中,当凸台的顶部与凹陷区452的凹陷底部接触时,导声部件450与壳体430可以恰好接触。在一些实施例中,当凸台的顶部与凹陷区452的凹陷底部接触时,导声部件450与壳体430之间可以留有缝隙,以改善导声通道440与出声孔434之间的气密性。在一些实施例中,凸台的顶部与凹陷区452的凹陷底部之间还可以设置环状密封件(图中未示出)。
在一些实施例中,导声部件450与壳体430之间可以插接连接。例如,壳体430(例如,第二壳体433)和导声部件450中的其中一者上可以设置有插接孔,另一者上可以设置有插接柱。插接柱可以插置固定在插接孔内,以改善导声部件450与壳体430组装的精度和可靠性。仅作为示例,如图5所示,插接孔435可以设置于第二壳体433上,例如,可 以设置于第一子凸台部上。插接柱454可以设置于导声部件450上,例如,可以设置于凹陷区452内。导声部件450与壳体430可以沿图5中的虚线所示的方向进行组装。
应当注意以上对声学输出装置100的描述旨在说明,而不是限制本申请的范围。许多替代、修改和变化对于本领域普通技术人员来说是显而易见的。本文描述的示例性实施例的特征、结构、方法和其他特征可以以各种方式组合以获得附加和/或替代示例性实施例。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置400还可以包括声阻网460和/或防护罩470。声阻网460可以调节第二腔室424中产生的气导声的声阻。防护罩470可以罩设在导声通道440出口的外围,以保护声学输出装置400并改善声学输出装置400的外观。
图6A是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的框图。图6B至图6E是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。如图6A所示,声学输出装置600可以与图2A中所示的声学输出装置200A相似。声学输出装置600可以包括换能装置610、振膜620和壳体630。具体地,参见图6B至图6E,壳体630可以形成用于容纳换能装置610和振膜620中的至少部分元件的容置腔。容置腔可以包括第一腔室622和第二腔室624。第一腔室622可以用于容纳换能装置610。壳体630上可以设置有与容置腔连通的出声孔634。在一些实施例中,出声孔634可以设置成将第一腔室622与外界连通(如图6D所示)。在一些实施例中,出声孔634可以设置成将第二腔室624与外界连通(如图6B和6B所示)。在一些实施例中,换能装置610可以包括磁路组件611和线圈613。更多关于声学输出装置600的描述可以参见本申请的其他地方(例如,图2A及其描述)。
由于产生气导声波的腔室(例如,第二腔室624)与出声孔相当于构成了一个亥姆霍兹共振腔结构,声学输出装置600输出的气导声波的频响曲线在较高频段会产生第一谐振峰,从而导致声学输出装置600的音质变差。具体地,在第一谐振峰的峰值频率附近,腔室输出声音急剧增大,使得声学输出装置600输出的气导声音由此产生的漏音在第一谐振峰的峰值频率附近的频段有突增,使得听音音质不均衡同时漏音增大。在这种情况下,可以通过设置亥姆霍兹共振腔640来改善声学输出装置600的音质。亥姆霍兹共振腔640可以用于削弱气导声波的第一谐振峰的峰值及其附近的谐振强度。在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640的谐振频率可以与第一谐振峰的峰值频率相同。在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640的谐振频率与第一谐振峰的峰值频率之间的差异可以在一个倍频程内。
亥姆霍兹共振腔640可以包括共振腔体642和至少一个共振腔口644。在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640可以与第二腔室624连通,以调节第二腔室624中产生的气导声波的频响。共振腔口644可以连通共振腔体642与第二腔室624。换句话说,共振腔口644可以设置于第二腔室624的侧壁上。例如,如图6B所示,共振腔口644可以设置在构成第二腔室624的壳体(即,第二壳体)上,共振腔体642可以悬挂在第二壳体外。又例如,如图6C所示,共振腔口644和共振腔体642可以设置在磁路组件611上。在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640连通第二腔室624的共振腔口644处于打开状态时的第一谐振峰的峰值谐振强度与亥姆霍兹共振腔640连通第二腔室624的开口处于关闭状态时的第一谐振峰的峰值谐振强度之间的差值可以大于或者等于3dB,具体地,可以为5dB、10dB、15dB、20dB等。
在一些实施例中,从公式(1)中可以看出,通过设置亥姆霍兹共振腔640的一个或多个参数可以得到亥姆霍兹共振腔640对第一谐振峰的不同削弱效果。例如,可以设置不同的共振腔体642的体积和/或出声孔634的横截面积来得到亥姆霍兹共振腔640对第一谐振峰的不同削弱效果(如图7所示)。又例如,可以在出声孔634处设置导声通道,可以通过设置导声通道长度来得到亥姆霍兹共振腔640对第一谐振峰的不同削弱效果。再例如,可以通过在共振腔口644处设置声阻网来得到亥姆霍兹共振腔640对第一谐振峰的不同削弱效果(如图8所示)。在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640的共振腔体642的体积可以与第二腔室624的体积相同或不同。需要知道的是,在一些实施例中,磁路组件611的质量比壳体630的质量大,在相同的驱动力下磁路组件611的振幅比壳体630的振幅小,尤其是在中高频段(例如,大于1kHz)。换言之,在声学输出装置600的实际工作过程中,磁路组件611的振动幅度比壳体630的振动幅度小。基于此,将亥姆霍兹共振腔640设于磁路组件611上,能获得更小振动的壁面,其吸收声能,削弱第一谐振峰的效果更为显著。
在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640可以与第一腔室622连通,以调节第一腔室622中产生的气导声波的频响。共振腔口644可以连通共振腔体642与第一腔室622。第一腔室622中可以产生气导声波并通过出声孔634传输至用户耳道。在这种情况下,壳体630可以不与用户皮肤接触,即,声学输出装置600可以不产生骨导声波。例如,如图6D所示,共振腔口644和共振腔体642都可以设置在磁路组件611上,并且共振腔口644与第一腔室622连通。在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640连通第一腔室622的共振腔口644处 于打开状态时的第一谐振峰的峰值谐振强度与亥姆霍兹共振腔640连通第一腔室622的开口处于关闭状态时的第一谐振峰的峰值谐振强度之间的差值可以大于或者等于3dB,具体地,可以为5dB、10dB、15dB、20dB等。
在一些实施例中,亥姆霍兹共振腔640可以同时连通第一腔室622和第二腔室624以用于同时调节第一腔室622产生的气导声波(也可以称为第一腔室622中产生的漏音)和第二腔室624中产生的气导声波的频响。例如,如图6E所示,亥姆霍兹共振腔640可以包括连通第一腔室622的共振腔口644(也可以称为第一共振腔口)和连通第二腔室624的共振腔口646(也可以称为第二共振腔口)。在一些实施例中,第一共振腔口644的面积可以大于或者等于第二共振腔口646的面积。
在一些实施例中,在至少一个共振腔口处还可以设置有第二声阻网650。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以大于或者等于3%。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以大于或者等于4%。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以大于或者等于5%。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以大于或者等于10%。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以大于或者等于15%。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以大于或者等于30%。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以大于或者等于50%。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的孔隙率可以为100%。
如图8所示,随着第二声阻网650的声阻的增加,声学输出装置600的气导声波的频响曲线更为平坦,音质更为均衡。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的声阻可以在0-1000MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的声阻可以在50-900MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的声阻可以在100-800MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的声阻可以在200-700MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的声阻可以在300-600MKSrayls。在一些实施例中,第二声阻网650的声阻可以在400-500MKSrayls。
应当注意以上对声学输出装置600的描述旨在说明,而不是限制本申请的范围。许多替代、修改和变化对于本领域普通技术人员来说是显而易见的。本文描述的示例性实施例的特征、结构、方法和其他特征可以以各种方式组合以获得附加和/或替代示例性实施例。例如,类似地,当壳体630上还设置有泄压孔632时,与泄压孔632连通的腔室与其相互作用也可以等效为亥姆霍兹共振腔结构。此时,声学输出装置600还可以包括与该腔室连通的 亥姆霍兹共振腔,以削弱该腔室产生的气导声波的谐振峰,从而提高声学输出装置600的音质。
图7是根据本申请一些实施例所示的声学输出装置的气导声波频响曲线图。如图7所示,M表示亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口的面积。C表示亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔体的体积。曲线7-1表示未设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔的声学输出装置的频响曲线。曲线7-2表示设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔的声学输出装置的频响曲线,其中,该亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口面积为2M,共振腔体体积为0.5C。曲线7-3表示设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔的声学输出装置的频响曲线,其中,该亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口面积为M,共振腔体体积为C。曲线7-4表示设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔的声学输出装置的频响曲线,其中,该亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口面积为0.5M,共振腔体体积为2C。从图7中可以看出,不同的共振腔体体积和共振腔口横截面积可以使不同的亥姆霍兹共振腔具有相同的谐振频率。当声学输出装置未设置亥姆霍兹共振腔时(对应曲线7-1),由于产生气导声波的第二腔室与出声孔和/或导声通道的相互作用,声学输出装置输出的气导声波的频响曲线在较高频段会产生第一谐振峰P,从而导致声学输出装置的音质变差。通过设置亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口面积(即,M)和/或共振腔体体积(即,C),可以使得亥姆霍兹共振腔的谐振频率保持不变。当在声学输出装置中设置用于削弱气导声波的第一谐振峰P的亥姆霍兹共振腔后,随着共振腔口的面积(即,M)的减小和随着共振腔体的体积(即,C)的增加,亥姆霍兹共振腔削弱第一谐振峰P的频宽越宽,削弱效果越显著。
图8是根据本申请一些实施例所示的声学输出装置的气导声波的频响曲线图。如图8所示,R表示在亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口设置的第二声阻网的声阻。曲线8-1表示未设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔的声学输出装置的频响曲线。曲线8-2表示设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔且在该亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口设置有声阻为0.2R的第二声阻网的声学输出装置的频响曲线。曲线8-3表示设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔且在该亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口设置有声阻为R的第二声阻网的声学输出装置的频响曲线。曲线8-4表示设置有亥姆霍兹共振腔且在该亥姆霍兹共振腔的共振腔口设置有声阻为5R的第二声阻网的声学输出装置的频响曲线。在图8中,当声学输出装置未设置亥姆霍兹共振腔时(对应曲线8-1),声学输出装置输出的气导声波的频响曲线在较高频段会产生第一谐振峰P。当在声学输出装置中设置用于削弱气导声波的第一谐振峰P的亥姆霍兹共振腔后,随着在共振腔口设置的第二声阻网的声阻的增加, 声学输出装置的频响曲线更为平坦。换句话说,通过设置亥姆霍兹共振腔和调节第二声阻网的声阻可以使声学输出装置的音质更加均衡。
图9是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。图10是根据本申请一些实施例所示的声学输出装置的气导声波的频响曲线。如图9所示,声学输出装置900可以与图2A中所示的声学输出装置200A相似。例如,声学输出装置900可以包括换能装置910、振膜920和壳体930。壳体930可以形成用于容纳换能装置910和振膜920中的至少部分元件的容置腔。容置腔可以包括第一腔室922和第二腔室924。第一腔室922可以用于容纳换能装置910。壳体930上可以设置有与第二腔室924连通的出声孔934。壳体930上还可以设置有与第一腔室922连通的泄压孔932。换能装置910可以包括磁路组件911和线圈913。更多关于声学输出装置900的描述可以参见本说明书的其他地方(例如,图2A及其描述)。
壳体930可以包括第一壳体931(也可以称为主壳体)和第二壳体933(也可以称为辅壳体)。第一壳体931和第二壳体933可以连接以构成壳体930。第一壳体931可以构成第一腔室922的至少一部分,第二壳体933可以构成第二腔室924的至少一部分。在一些实施例中,制备第二壳体933的第二材料可以与制备第一壳体931的第一材料相同。具体地,第二壳体933可以通过弹性连接件936与第一壳体931连接,并与振膜920配合以形成第二腔室924。在这种情况下,第一壳体931、换能装置910(例如,换能装置910中连接第一壳体931的弹簧片)和振膜920可以形成具有一固有频率f1的振动系统,第二壳体933和弹性连接件936可以形成具有一固有频率f2的振动系统。在一些实施例中,制备第二壳体933的第二材料与制备第一壳体931的第一材料可以不同。具体地,第二壳体933可以具有与第一壳体931不同的弹性系数。在这种情况下,第一壳体931可以具有对应第一材料的固有频率f1,第二壳体933可以具有对应第二材料的固有频率f2。在一些实施例中,与第一壳体931相关的固有频率f1也可以称为第一壳体931的第一谐振频率,与第二壳体933相关的固有频率f2也可以称为第二壳体933的第二谐振频率。需要知道的是,壳体(例如,第一壳体931、第二壳体933)的谐振频率可以通过激光测振仪、加速度计等来测定,本申请不做限制。例如,可以利用激光测振仪测定第二壳体933外表面的振动,从而测定第二壳体933的第二谐振频率f2。又例如,可以在第二壳体933表面粘接或机械安装加速度计,利用加速度计测量第二壳体933外表面的振动,从而测定第二壳体933的第二谐振频率f2。
在一些实施例中,第一谐振频率可以小于第二谐振频率。此时,通过调节第二壳体933的第二谐振频率可以控制声学输出装置900的气导声波。如图10所示,f2表示第二壳体933的第二谐振频率。从图10中可以看出,声学输出装置900在小于第二壳体933的第二谐振频率的频段,可以输出较强的气导声波。声学输出装置900在高于第二壳体933的第二谐振频率的频段,几乎不输出气导声波。具体地,在第一壳体931的振动过程中,由于力与反作用力的关系,换能装置910和/或振膜920可以认为几乎是静止的或朝着与第一壳体931相反的方向振动。当第一壳体931的振动频率小于第二谐振频率(例如,介于20Hz至150Hz之间或介于20Hz至400Hz之间)时,第二壳体933与第一壳体931之间的相位差可以介于-π/3至+π/3之间。此时,第二壳体933与第一壳体931的振动方向可以相同,即第一壳体931与第二壳体933同相。由于换能装置910和/或振膜920与第二壳体933振动方向相反,第二壳体933与振膜920之间的空气(即,第二腔室924内的空气)可以被压缩或扩张,进而能够产生经出声孔934输出至声学输出装置900外部的气导声波。当第一壳体931的振动频率大于第二谐振频率时(例如,第一壳体931的振动频率介于2kHz至4kHz之间或介于1kHz至2kHz之间),第二壳体933与第一壳体931之间的相位差可以介于2π/3至4π/3之间。此时,第二壳体933与第一壳体931的振动方向可以相反,而与换能装置910和/或振膜920的振动方向相同。此时,第二腔室924内的空气不易被压缩或扩张,进而难以产生经出声孔934输出至声学输出装置900外部的气导声波。
简而言之,通过合理设计第二壳体933的第二谐振频率,可以控制声学输出装置900在某一特定频段(例如,小于f2的低频段)产生经出声孔934输出至声学输出装置900外部的气导声波,而在另一频段(例如,大于f2的高频段)几乎不产生经出声孔934输出至声学输出装置900外部的气导声波。换句话说,通过调节第二壳体933的第二谐振频率,可以利用气导声波对骨导声波的特定频段进行补充。
在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率的大小可以根据第二壳体933和/或弹性连接件936的弹性系数等参数进行调节,在此不作限制。在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率可以小于或者等于10kHz。在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率可以小于或者等于8kHz。在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率可以小于或者等于6kHz。在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率可以小于或者等于5kHz。在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率可以小于或者等于3kHz。在一些实施例中,第二谐 振频率可以小于或者等于2kHz。在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率可以小于或者等于1kHz。在一些实施例中,第二谐振频率可以小于或者等于0.5kHz。
图11是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。如图11所示,声学输出装置1100可以与图2A中所示的声学输出装置200A相似。例如,声学输出装置1100可以包括扬声器组件。扬声器组件可以包括机芯模组(例如,换能装置、振膜)和壳体1110。壳体1110可以形成用于容纳换能装置和振膜中的至少部分元件的容置腔。容置腔可以包括第一腔室和第二腔室。第一腔室可以用于容纳换能装置的至少一部分。壳体1110上可以设置有与第二腔室连通的出声孔。壳体1110上还可以设置有与第一腔室连通的泄压孔。又例如,换能装置可以包括磁路组件线圈。更多关于声学输出装置1100的描述可以参见本说明书的其他地方(例如,图2A及其描述)。
基于前述关于扬声器组件的相关描述,当声学输出装置1100是气导骨导结合的声学输出装置时,壳体1110的皮肤接触区域1112(也称为第一壳体1112)用于与用户的皮肤接触,以便于传输机芯模组产生的机械振动,进而形成骨导声波。在声学输出装置1100在产生骨导声波的同时,换能装置与壳体1110发生相对运动。进一步地,由于振膜的存在,第二腔室产生经出声孔向人耳传输的与骨导声同相的气导声波。当壳体1110(即,第一壳体1112)与用户接触时,用户的皮肤的机械特性(例如,弹性、阻尼、质量)会反过来影响机芯模组的振动状态。具体而言,壳体1110(即,第一壳体1112中的第一区域11A)与用户的皮肤贴合越好、越紧密,则会使得壳体1110的振动变弱。进一步地,壳体1110振动的变弱,可以使得壳体1110与换能装置及振膜之间的相对运动变弱,因此而产生的气导声也随之变小,最终影响气导声的听音效果。然而,壳体1110也无法与用户的皮肤完全分离,因为这样会影响骨导声波的传输,进而影响骨导声的听音效果。
为了减小壳体1110与皮肤的贴合的紧密程度,从而削弱皮肤对机芯模组振动的影响,让壳体1110和/或振膜振动产生足够的气导声波的同时不降低骨导声波的传递效率,可以减小壳体与用户皮肤的接触面积,例如,可以使皮肤接触区域1112倾斜设置。在一些实施例中,皮肤接触区域1112可以包括第一区域11A和第二区域11B。声学输出装置1100还可以包括支撑组件1120(例如,图1B中的耳挂122)。支撑组件1120的一端可以与壳体1110连接,用于支撑扬声器组件。第二区域11B相较于第一区域11A可以远离支撑组件1120。在声学输出装置1100处于佩戴的状态下,皮肤接触区域1112的第一区域11A可以 与用户的皮肤接触以在换能装置的带动下振动并产生骨导声波。皮肤接触区域1112的第二区域11B可以相对于用户的皮肤不接触(例如,倾斜或间隔设置)。在一些实施例中,第一区域11A和第二区域11B可以共面设置,以降低壳体1110的加工难度。例如,可以通过设置壳体1110和支撑件1120之间呈一定角度,使得声学输出装置1100处于佩戴状态下相对于用户皮肤倾斜且间隔设置。在一些实施例中,第一区域11A和第二区域11B可以非共面设置。例如,第一区域11A和第二区域11B可以分别位于两个平面,该两个平面可以通过弧面衔接。又例如,第一区域11A和第二区域11B可以分别是一个弧面的不同部分。
在一些实施例中,皮肤接触区域1112的倾斜角度(即,第二区域11B与用户皮肤之间的夹角γ)可以根据实际需求进行设置。在本说明书中,第二区域11B与用户的皮肤之间的夹角γ可以是指第二区域11B的切平面与用户的皮肤所在的平面之间的最大角度和最小角度的平均值。在一些实施例中,第二区域11B与用户的皮肤之间的夹角γ可以在0°-45°范围之间。在一些实施例中,第二区域11B与用户的皮肤之间的夹角γ可以2°-40°范围之间。在一些实施例中,第二区域11B与用户的皮肤之间的夹角γ可以在5°-35°范围之间。在一些实施例中,第二区域11B与用户的皮肤之间的夹角γ可以在10°-30°范围之间。在一些实施例中,第二区域11B与用户的皮肤之间的夹角γ可以在15°-25°范围之间。在一些实施例中,第二区域11B的面积可以大于第一区域11A的面积。
图12是根据本申请的一些实施例的示例性声学输出装置的框图。如图12所示,声学输出装置1200可以包括扬声器组件1210、传递组件1220和支撑组件1230。扬声器组件1210可以通过传递组件1220连接到支撑组件1230。
扬声器组件1210可以用于根据电信号生成机械振动信号(例如,骨导声波和/或气导声波)。电信号可以包含声音信息。声音信息可以是具有特定数据格式的视频文件或音频文件,也可以是一般数据或可以通过特定方式最终转换为声音的文件。电信号可以从如麦克风、计算机、移动电话、MP3播放器等信号源接收。例如,麦克风可以从一个声源接收声音信号。然后,麦克风可以将接收到的声音信号转换为电信号,并将电信号传输给扬声器组件1210。又例如,扬声器组件1210可以连接到MP3播放器或与MP3播放器通信。MP3播放器可以直接将电信号传输到扬声器组件1210。在一些实施例中,扬声器组件1210可以通过有线连接,无线连接或其组合与信号源连接和/或通信。有线连接可以包括,例如,电缆、光缆、电话线等,或其任何组合。无线连接可以包括蓝牙 TM网络,局域网(LAN)、 广域网(WAN)、近场通信(NFC)网络、ZigBee TM网络等,或其任何组合。更多关于扬声器组件的描述可以参见本申请其他地方(例如,图2A及其描述)。
传递组件1220可以物理连接到扬声器组件1210。因此,传递组件1220可以从扬声器组件1210接收振动信号。当声学输出装置1200佩戴在用户身上时,传递组件1220和用户之间可以形成一个角度。在本说明书中,传递组件1220与用户之间的角度是指传递组件1220的长轴与用户的皮肤所在的平面之间的角度。在一些实施例中,该角度可以在0到90°、或者0°到70°、或者5°到50°、或者10°到50°、或者10°到30°等角度范围内。
传递组件1220可以用于通过传递组件1220上的皮肤接触区域与用户接触,并且通过皮肤接触区域将接收到的振动信号输送给用户。在一些实施例中,传递组件1220与用户(例如,用户的皮肤)之间的接触面积可以响应振动信号而改变。在一些实施例中,传递组件1220上的皮肤接触区域可以设置在例如,前额、颈部(例如,喉咙)、面部(例如,嘴周围的区域、下巴)、头顶、乳突、耳朵周围的区域、太阳穴等,或其任意组合。
传递组件1220上的皮肤接触区域可以与扬声器组件1210相距一定距离。扬声器组件1210可以绕靠近传递组件1220的皮肤接触区域的旋转轴进行振动。在这种情况下,传递组件1220上的皮肤接触区域可以比扬声器组件1210更接近旋转轴。因此,传递组件1220上的皮肤接触区域的振动强度可以比扬声器组件1210的振动强度小,从而减小传递到用户的振动。例如,传递组件1220可以包括具有至少一个弧形结构的弹性元件。传递组件1220的皮肤接触区域可以在至少一个弧形结构的凸起部分上。扬声器组件1210可以响应于振动信号而在皮肤接触区域周围振动。关于弧形结构的更多描述可以在本申请的其他地方找到(例如,图14及其描述)。又例如,传递组件1220可以包括连接单元、振动传递板和弹性元件。扬声器组件1210可以设置在连接单元的上表面,振动传递板可以连接到连接单元的一端。传递组件1220的皮肤接触区域可以设置在振动传递板上。支撑组件1230可以通过弹性元件连接至连接单元或振动传递板。扬声器组件1210可以响应于振动信号围绕支撑组件1230和弹性元件之间的连接点振动。关于带有连接单元、振动传递板和弹性元件的传递组件的更多描述可以在本申请的其他地方找到(例如,图13及其描述)。
在一些实施例中,传递组件1220的皮肤接触区域可以设置在耳朵周围的区域,以使得扬声器组件1210的一个表面面向用户的耳道。这样,当振动扬声器1210振动时,扬声器组件1210可驱动振动扬声器1210周围的空气振动并产生气导声波。气导声波可以通过空气 传输到耳朵,从而增强传递给用户的声音强度。因此,用户不仅可以听到由传递组件1220的皮肤接触区域的振动产生的骨导声波,还可以听到由扬声器组件1210驱动周围空气产生的气导声波。
在一些实施例中,扬声器组件1210的壳体可以包括例如设置在壳体的侧壁或面对用户的耳道的一侧处的一个或多个出声孔。这样,当扬声器组件1210振动时,在扬声器组件1210的壳体内(例如,第二腔室)产生的气导声波可以通过一个或多个出声孔传递到壳体外,并且进一步传输到用户的耳朵。在一些实施例中,当用户佩戴声学输出装置1200时,扬声器组件1210的一个或多个出声孔可以朝着用户的耳道布置。因此,用户可以进一步听到由扬声器组件1210的一个或多个出声孔所传输的气导声波,从而增强用户听到的声音强度。
支撑组件1230可以通过传递组件1220物理连接至扬声器组件1210。支撑组件1230可以被配置为支撑传递组件1220和/或扬声器组件1210,使得传递组件1220可以接触用户的皮肤。
在一些实施例中,支撑组件1230可以包括固定部分,该固定部分可以使声学输出装置1200更好地固定在用户身上,并防止在用户使用期间脱落。在一些实施例中,固定部分可以为具有适合于人体的某一部分(例如,耳朵、头部、颈部)的任何形状,例如,U形、C形、圆环形、椭圆形、半圆形等形状,使得声学输出装置1200可以独立地佩戴在用户的身体上。例如,支撑组件1230的固定部分的形状可以与人耳廓的形状相匹配,从而可以将声学输出装置1200独立地佩戴在用户的耳朵上。又例如,支撑组件1230的固定部分的形状可以与人的头部的形状相匹配,使得支撑组件1230可以被悬挂在用户的头部上,这可以防止声学输出装置1200脱落下来。
在一些实施例中,支撑组件1230可以是具有中空内部的壳结构。中空内部可以容纳电池组件、控制电路组件、蓝牙设备等,或其任何组合。在一些实施例中,支撑组件1230可以由各种材料制成,例如金属材料(例如铝、金、铜等)、合金材料(例如铝合金、钛合金等)、塑料材料(例如例如,聚乙烯、聚丙烯、环氧树脂、尼龙等)、纤维材料(例如,醋酸纤维、丙酸纤维、碳纤维等)等。在一些实施例中,支撑组件1230可设置有护套。护套可以由具有一定弹性的软质材料制成,例如,软硅胶、橡胶等,可以为用户提供更好的触感。
应当注意以上对声学输出装置100的描述旨在说明,而不是限制本申请的范围。许多替代、修改和变化对于本领域普通技术人员来说是显而易见的。本文描述的示例性实施例的特征、结构、方法和其他特征可以以各种方式组合以获得附加和/或替代示例性实施例。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置1200的任何两个组件(例如,扬声器组件1210、传递组件1220和支撑组件130)之间的连接可以包括粘接、铆接、螺纹连接、整体形成、吸气连接或其他类似方式等,或其任何组合。
在一些实施例中,声学输出装置1200还可以包括辅助支撑部件,该辅助支撑部件可以用于通过接触用户来辅助支撑扬声器组件1210。辅助支撑部件可以具有杆状结构,并且辅助支撑部件的端部可以直接连接至扬声器组件1210。因此,当用户佩戴声学输出装置1200时,辅助支撑部件可以与扬声器组件1210接触。从而扬声器组件1210可以通过辅助支撑部件向用户传输部分振动信号,从而进一步增强用户听到的声音强度。
图13是根据本申请的一些实施例的与示例性声学输出装置向用户传递振动信号的过程相关的状态示意图。如图13所示(例如,图13中的状态13a),声学输出装置1300可以包括扬声器组件1310、传递组件1320(虚线框1320中的组件)和支撑组件1330。
扬声器组件1310可以通过传递组件1320连接到支撑组件1330。扬声器组件1310可以根据电信号产生表示声音的振动信号。仅作为示例,扬声器组件1310可以包括换能装置、振膜和壳体。换能装置可以包括磁路组件和线圈。线圈可以在磁路组件提供的磁场中振动,并带动振膜和/或壳体振动。壳体可包括面向人体一侧的前壳体和与前壳体相对的后壳体。扬声器组件1310可以提供各种共振峰。在一些实施例中,扬声器组件1310可以提供频率范围小于500Hz,或频率范围小于800Hz,或频率范围小于1000Hz的一个或多个低频共振峰。低频共振峰可能与壳体的弹性模量有关。壳体的弹性模量越小,扬声器组件1310的低频共振峰可能越低。
传递组件1320可以通过与用户接触将振动信号传递给用户(例如,用户的耳蜗)。在一些实施例中,传递组件1320可以包括连接单元1322、振动传递板1324和弹性元件1326。传递组件1320上与用户接触的皮肤接触区域可以设置在振动传递板1324上。
在一些实施例中,连接单元1322可以是具有两个端部(例如,第一端部E1和第二端部E2)的结构。例如,连接单元1322可以是具有两个端部的杆状结构、片状结构等。扬声器组件1310可以通过连接单元1322连接到振动传递板1324。例如,扬声器组件1310的 侧壁(例如,下侧壁)可以与连接单元1322的侧壁(例如,上侧壁)连接。可选地,扬声器组件1310可以被设置在上侧或连接至连接单元1322的第一端部E1。例如,如图13所示,当连接单元1322为矩形杆时,扬声器组件1310可以被设置在连接单元1322的上侧壁上。为简洁起见,连接单元1322的上侧是指连接单元1322背离用户皮肤的一侧,连接单元1322的下侧是指连接单元1322面向用户皮肤的一侧。类似地,扬声器组件1310的上侧是指扬声器组件1310的背离用户皮肤的一侧,扬声器组件1310的下侧是指扬声器组件1310的面向用户皮肤的一侧。在一些实施例中,当连接单元1322为杆状结构时,杆的横截面可以为任何其他形状,例如矩形、三角形、圆形、椭圆形、正六边形、不规则形状等。在一些实施例中,当连接单元1322是片状结构时,片状结构的形状可以包括矩形、椭圆形、不规则形状等。
振动传递板1324可以在第二端部E2处连接到连接单元1322的下侧。振动传递板1324以及传递组件1320上的皮肤接触区域可以与扬声器组件1310相距一定距离。振动传递板1324可以被配置为与用户接触(如图13所示,虚线1340可以大致被视为用户的皮肤),以将振动信号传递给用户。在一些实施例中,振动传递板1324可以是诸如楔形块的块状物,其可以允许或使得扬声器组件1310悬挂在用户的皮肤上方,从而在连接单元1322的上表面或下表面与用户的皮肤表面之间形成一个角度(例如,图13a中的θ)。在一些实施例中,连接单元1322的上表面或下表面与用户的皮肤表面之间的角度可以在0°至90°、或0°至70°、或5°至50°、或10°至50°、或10°至30°等的范围内。在一些实施例中,连接单元1322的上表面或下表面与用户皮肤表面之间的角度也可以被称为在传递组件1320和用户的皮肤1340(或用户的皮肤所在的平面)之间的角度。
弹性元件1326和振动传递板1324可以位于连接单元1322的同一端,即,弹性元件1326也可以连接至连接单元1322的第二端部E2。振动传递板1324可以设置有一个凸形结构1328(如图13所示)。弹性元件1326的两端可以分别连接到凸形结构1328和连接单元1322的第二端部E2。在一些实施例中,弹性元件1326可以是具有一定弹性的片状结构或杆状结构。
支撑组件1330的第一端部可以在弹性元件1326的任何一点(例如,中心点)处与弹性元件1326连接。在一些实施例中,支撑组件1330的第一端部可以直接或通过连接元件1332与弹性元件1326连接。例如,支撑组件1330的第一端部可直接或通过连接元件1332 连接至弹性元件1326的中心。当声学输出装置1300被固定佩戴在用户身上时,支撑组件1330可被认为相对于用户是静止的,并且在这种情况下,扬声器组件1310可以响应于振动信号驱动连接单元1322和振动传递板1324围绕支撑组件1330和弹性元件1326之间的特定连接点1350旋转。
根据图13中的状态13a和13b,状态13a代表在振动信号传递过程中声学输出装置1300的初始状态,而状态13b代表在振动信号传递过程中声学输出装置1300的中间状态。箭头A表示扬声器组件1310的振动方向,箭头A的长度表示振动强度。
当声学输出装置1300处于初始状态时(状态13a),传递组件1320与用户皮肤1340之间的角度为θ时,振动传递板1324与用户皮肤1340之间的接触面积在振动信号传递过程中最大。当声学输出装置1300处于中间状态(状态13b)时,传递组件1320与用户皮肤1340之间的角度可以小于声学输出装置1300的初始状态下传递组件1320与用户皮肤1340之间的角度。因此,传递组件1320和用户皮肤1340之间的接触面积可以响应振动信号而改变。例如,在扬声器组件1310围绕特定的连接点1350朝向用户的皮肤1340振动的过程中,传递组件1320和用户的皮肤1340之间的角度可以逐渐减小(即,状态13b中的θ'<θ)。在这种情况下,在声学输出装置1300的中间状态下,振动传递板1324与用户皮肤1340之间的接触面积可以小于在声学输出装置1300的初始状态下振动传递板1324与用户皮肤1340之间的接触面积。因此,在扬声器组件1310向用户传递振动信号的过程中,可以降低用户的振动感觉。
此外,由于振动传递板1324与扬声器组件1310相距一定距离,并且,振动传递板1324至特定连接点1350的距离小于扬声器组件1310至特定连接点1350的距离,在振动信号传递过程中,振动传递板1324的振动强度可能小于扬声器组件1310的振动强度,从而进一步降低用户的振动感觉。仅作为示例,箭头B表示皮肤接触区域上的某一点的振动,并且箭头B的长度表示该点的振动强度。由于从特定连接点1350到箭头B的垂直距离小于从特定连接点1350到箭头A的垂直距离,因此箭头A的振动强度(即箭头A的长度)可能大于振动箭头B的强度(即箭头B的长度)。
因此,通过使用传递组件1320,可以减少源自扬声器组件1310的振动,从而保护用户免受低频范围内不舒适的振动感。在此基础上,可以更加灵活地设计扬声器组件1310的频率响应以适应不同的需求。例如,扬声器组件1310的最低共振峰可以被移动到较低的 频率范围,以向用户提供更丰富的低频信号。如上所述,可以通过改变扬声器组件1310的壳体的弹性模量来调节扬声器组件1310的最低共振峰。在一些实施例中,扬声器组件1310的壳体的弹性模量可以设计成使得扬声器组件1310的最低共振峰可以小于2500Hz、或者小于2000Hz、或者小于1500Hz、或者小于1200Hz、或者小于1000Hz、或者小于800Hz、或者小于500Hz、或小于300Hz、或小于200Hz、或小于100Hz、或小于90Hz、或小于50Hz。
应当注意的是,以上描述仅出于说明的目的,而不是为了限制本申请的范围。对于拥有本领域普通技术的人员,可以在本申请的教导下进行多种变化和修改。然而,这些变化和修改不脱离本公开的范围。例如,扬声器组件1310可以直接连接到振动传递板1324,即,可以省略连接单元1322。在这种情况下,弹性元件1326可以直接连接到扬声器组件1310。又例如,声学输出装置1300可以进一步包括一个或多个附加部件,例如辅助支撑部件(未示出)。再例如,传递组件1320的皮肤接触区域可以设置在耳朵周围的区域中,以使得扬声器组件1310的表面可以面对用户的耳道,以便更好地将气导声波传播到耳朵。
图14是根据本申请的一些实施例的与示例性声学输出装置向用户传递振动信号的过程相关的状态示意图。如图14所示,声学输出装置1400可以类似于图13所示的声学输出装置1300。声学输出装置1400可包括扬声器组件1410、传递组件1420和支撑组件1430。扬声器组件1410可以通过传递组件1420连接到支撑组件1430。扬声器组件1410可以根据电信号产生表示声音的振动信号。扬声器组件1410可以与图13所示的扬声器组件1310相似或相同。
传递组件1420可以包括弹性元件。弹性元件可以包括连接部分1422和弧形结构1424,其中,连接部分1422的第一端部与弧形结构1424的第一端部E3连接。在一些实施例中,弹性元件(例如,连接部分1422和/或弧形结构1424)可以由各种弹性材料制成,例如金属材料(例如,铝、金、铜等)、合金材料(例如,铝合金、钛合金等)、塑料材料(例如聚乙烯、聚丙烯、环氧树脂、尼龙等)、纤维材料(例如醋酸纤维、丙酸纤维、碳纤维等)等。
扬声器组件1410可以物理连接到连接部分1422。例如,当连接部分1422为片状结构时,扬声器组件1410可以设置在连接部分1422的上表面。又例如,当连接部分1422为 杆状结构时,扬声器组件1410可以设置在连接部分1422的上表面,或者扬声器组件1410的侧壁可以连接至连接部分1422的第二端部。
弧形结构1424的凸起部分可以用于与用户皮肤1440接触,因此扬声器组件1410可以通过传递组件1420将振动信号输送给用户。在这种情况下,弧形结构1424和用户皮肤1440之间的接触面积可以小于图13所示的传递组件1320的皮肤接触区域的面积。传递组件1420和用户皮肤1440之间的接触面积可以在响应振动信号时几乎不变。扬声器组件1410可以悬挂在用户的皮肤上,并且可以在连接部分1422和用户皮肤1440的表面之间形成一个角度(例如,图14的状态14a中的角度α)。在一些实施例中,连接部分1422与用户皮肤1440的表面之间的角度可以在0°到90°、或者0°到70°、或者5°到50°、或者10°到50°、或者10°到30°的范围内。在一些实施例中,连接部分1422与用户皮肤1440的表面之间的角度也可以称为传递组件1420与用户皮肤1440(或用户皮肤所在的平面)之间的角度。
在一些实施例中,与用户皮肤1440接触的弧形结构1424的凸起部分也可以被称为传递组件1420的皮肤接触区域1450。传递组件1420上的皮肤接触区域1450可以与扬声器组件1410相距一定距离。弧形结构1424的第二端部E4可以与支撑组件1430的一端连接。当声学输出装置1400被固定地佩戴在用户身上时,支撑组件1430可以被视为相对于用户是静止的,并且在这种情况下,扬声器组件1410可以响应于振动信号驱动传递组件1420(即,弹性元件连接部分1422和弧形结构1424)围绕皮肤接触区域1450振动或旋转。在一些实施例中,弧形结构1424的第二端部E4可以通过连接元件1432连接到支撑组件1430。
根据图14中的状态14a和14b,状态14a代表在振动信号传递过程中声学输出装置1400的初始状态,而状态14b代表在振动信号传递过程中声学输出装置1400的中间状态。箭头A表示扬声器组件1410的振动方向,箭头A的长度表示振动强度。
在振动信号传递过程中,由于弧形结构1424与用户皮肤1440之间的接触面积很小,并且由扬声器组件1410产生的振动信号部分地被转换为传递组件1420(例如,连接部分1422和/或弧形结构1424)的弹性形变,与扬声器组件1410直接接触用户皮肤1440时用户的振动感觉相比,可以减小用户的振动感觉。
此外,由于皮肤接触区域1450与扬声器组件1410相距一定距离,因此在振动信号传递过程中,皮肤接触区域1450的振动强度可能小于扬声器组件1410的振动强度,从而进一步减小用户的振动感觉。仅作为示例,箭头B表示皮肤接触区域1450附近某个点的振动,并且箭头B的长度表示该点的振动强度。由于从皮肤接触区域1450到箭头B的垂直距离小于从皮肤接触区域1450到箭头A的垂直距离,所以箭头A的振动强度(即,箭头A的长度)可能大于箭头B的振动强度(即箭头B的长度)。
因此,通过使用传递组件1420,可以减少源自扬声器组件1410的振动,从而保护用户免受低频范围内不舒适的振动感。基于此,可以更加灵活地设计扬声器组件1410的频率响应以适应不同的需求。例如,扬声器组件1410的最低共振峰可以被移动到较低的频率范围,以向用户提供更丰富的低频信号。如上所述,可以通过改变扬声器组件1410的壳体的弹性模量来调节扬声器组件1410的最低共振峰。在一些实施例中,扬声器组件1410的壳体的弹性模量可以设计为使得扬声器组件1410的最低共振峰值可以小于2500Hz、或者小于2000Hz、或者小于1500Hz、或者小于1200Hz、或者小于1000Hz、或者小于800Hz、或者小于500Hz、或小于300Hz、或小于200Hz、或小于100Hz、或小于90Hz、或小于50Hz。
仅出于说明目的,在声学输出装置1400中仅描述了一个弹性元件。然而,应注意的是,本申请中的声学输出装置1400还可以包括多个弹性元件,因此振动信号也可以由多个弹性元件共同递送。在一些实施例中,弹性元件可以包括多个弧形结构,因此振动信号也可以由多个弧形结构共同传递。例如,多个弧形结构可以并排排列设置。
应当注意的是,以上描述仅是出于说明的目的,而不是为了限制本申请的范围。对于拥有本领域普通技术的人员,可以在本申请的教导下进行多种变化和修改。然而,这些变化和修改不脱离本公开的范围。例如,弧形结构1424可以直接连接到扬声器组件1410,即,可以省略连接部分1422。又例如,声学输出装置1400可以进一步包括一个或多个附加部件,例如辅助支撑部件(未示出)。再例如,传递组件1420的皮肤接触区域1450可以设置在耳朵周围的区域中,以使得扬声器组件1410的表面可以面对用户的耳道,更好地将气导声波传播到耳朵。
图15是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。如图15所示,声学输出装置1500可以包括信号处理电路1510和扬声器组件1520。信号处理电路1510可以与扬声器组件1520进行电性连接。
信号处理电路1510可以接收并处理从音频信号源接收的音频信号(例如,电信号),以得到目标音频信号。目标音频信号可以驱动扬声器组件1520以产生声音。例如,信号处理电路1510可以通过有线连接和/或无线连接的方式从手机、MP3、麦克风等设备接收音频信号。信号处理电路1510可以对接收到的音频信号进行例如,解码、采样、数字化、压缩、分频、调频、EQ均衡、增益调节、编码等中的一种或多种信号处理操作。信号处理电路1510可以将处理得到的目标音频信号传输给扬声器组件1520。在一些实施例中,信号处理电路可以集成在控制电路(例如,图1中的控制电路140)上。
扬声器组件1520可以接收目标音频信号并将其转换为声音(例如,气导声波、骨导声波)。仅作为示例,扬声器组件1520可以包括换能装置、振膜和壳体。换能装置可以电连接至信号处理电路1510以接收目标音频信号。换能装置可以将目标音频信号转换成机械振动信号。振膜可以在换能装置的带动下振动以产生气导声波。在一些实施例中,换能装置可以与壳体连接。壳体可以包括皮肤接触区域。皮肤接触区域可以在换能装置的带动下振动并产生骨导声波。更多关于扬声器组件的描述可以参见本说明书其他地方(例如,图2A及其描述)。
基于前述可知,由于扬声器组件1520中的腔室(例如,第二腔室)和出声孔之间的相互作用,扬声器组件1520(或声学输出装置1500)输出的气导声波在其频响曲线上具有第一谐振峰。在第一谐振峰处由于在腔室中产生的气导声音输出急剧增大,使得扬声器组件1520(或声学输出装置1500)输出的气导声和由此产生的漏音在第一谐振峰对应的频率附近的谐振频段突增,从而导致声学输出装置1500的音质不均衡的同时漏音增大。为此,可以利用信号处理电路1510,削弱相应频段的信号幅值,进而减小该频段声音的输出,削弱声音突增的现象,从而改善声学输出装置1500的音质和漏音。
示例性地,信号处理电路1510可以包括至少一个均衡器1512(Equalizer,EQ),以用于实现信号均衡。具体地,均衡器1512对音频信号的第一频段的信号增益系数可以大于其对第二频段的信号增益系数,其中,第二频段高于第一频段。在一些实施例中,第一频段可以至少包括500Hz。第二频段可以至少包括3.5kHz或者4.5kHz。在一些实施例中, 可以使得第一谐振峰尽可能地向高频偏移。例如,第一谐振峰的峰值谐振频率可以设置成位于第二频段内,或者高于第二频段。如此,可以通过均衡器1512削弱其信号幅值,进而减少第二频段的信号输出,削弱气导声的突增,进而使得声学输出装置1500的音质的高频更加均衡。
在一些实施例中,均衡器1512可以包括一个或多个滤波器。滤波器可以包括模拟滤波器、数字滤波器等或其组合。在一些实施例中,均衡器1512可以包括小波滤波器、平均滑动滤波器、中值滤波器、自适应中值滤波器等,或其任意组合。在一些实施例中,为了抑制谐振频段处的漏音突增,均衡器1512可以包括数字带通滤波器。数字带通滤波器的中心频率可以与第一谐振峰的峰值频率接近,例如,两者频率差异可以在一个倍频程内。数字带通滤波器的品质因素Q可以在0.5-6范围之内。数字带通滤波器增益可以控制在0-12dB范围之内。
在一些实施例中,信号处理电路1510还可以包括音量监控模块。音量监控模块可以监控声学输出装置1500的音量。均衡器1512可以根据声学输出装置1500的音量为第一频段设置不同的信号增益系数。更多关于音量监控模块的描述可以参见本说明书的其他地方(例如,图16及其描述)。
在一些实施例中,音量越大,第一频段的信号增益系数越小。例如:在音量较小的情况下,均衡器可以使得低频的信号增益系数较大,进而使得听感上低频充足,饱满,音质较好;而在音量较大的情况下,均衡器可以使得低频的信号增益系数较小,进而避免扬声器的振幅过大而引起的破音。
图16是根据本申请一些实施例所示的示例性声学输出装置的示意图。如图16所示,声学输出装置1600可以与图15中所示的声学输出装置1500相似。例如,声学输出装置1600可以包括信号处理电路1610和扬声器组件1620。又例如,信号处理电路1610可以包括均衡器。更多关于均衡器的描述可以参见本说明书的其他地方(例如,图15及其描述)。
信号处理电路1610可以包括两个或多个均衡器(例如,均衡器1612-1、均衡器1612-2、均衡器1612-3、均衡器1612-4等)。每个均衡器可以具有不同的均衡参数。换句话说,各个均衡器对相同信号的均衡效果不同。例如,均衡器1612-1对音频信号中200Hz-500Hz频段的信号增益系数可以大于其对2kHz-3kHz频段的信号增益系数。又例如,均衡 器1612-2对音频信号中400Hz-1kHz频段的信号增益系数可以大于其对3kHz-4.5kHz频段的信号增益系数。
信号处理电路1610还可以包括音量监控模块1616。当信号处理电路1610从音频信号源(例如,手机)接收到音频信号后,音量监控模块1616可以结合音频信号及声学输出装置1600的音量设置,确定声学输出装置1600的音量状态。在一些实施例中,声学输出装置1600的每个音量状态可以对应一个均衡器。信号处理电路1610可以根据声学输出装置1600的音量状态选择相应的均衡器来对音频信号进行均衡处理。例如,在音量较小的情况下,可以调用低频较多的均衡器(即对低频信号增益系数较大),使得听感上低频充足、饱满,音质较好。又例如,在音量较大的情况下,可以调用低频稍小的均衡器,以限制扬声器组件1620的振幅不至于过大而引起破音或者不佳的振动感体验。
在一些实施例中,当音量监控模块1616无法监控声学输出装置1600的音量状态时,可以利用默认均衡器作为该音频信号对应的均衡器进行均衡处理并更新该音频信号。音量监控模块1616可以再次根据更新的音频信号,确定声学输出装置1600的音量状态,直至声学输出装置1600的音量状态为已知的音量状态。信号处理电路1610可以根据已知的音量状态,选择其相对应的均衡器进行均衡处理。
应当注意以上对声学输出装置的描述旨在说明,而不是限制本申请的范围。许多替代、修改和变化对于本领域普通技术人员来说是显而易见的。本文描述的示例性实施例的特征、结构、方法和其他特征可以以各种方式组合以获得附加和/或替代示例性实施例。例如,声学输出装置1600还可以包括防水衬板,以用于改善声学输出装置1600的防水防尘性能。又例如,当用户佩戴声学输出装置1600时,扬声器组件1620可以倾斜设置在用户皮肤之上。
