Abstract

A speaker device for a vehicle includes a speaker unit, an enclosure mounted to a vehicle body accommodating the speaker unit, and provided with an inner space which is divided into a front space into which a front sound of the speaker unit is radiated and a rear space into which a rear sound of the speaker unit is radiated by a division member, a first path connecting the front space to a first division space provided in the vehicle body, a second path connecting the rear space to a second division space provided in the vehicle body, and a front sound outlet connecting the front space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A speaker device for a vehicle comprising:
a speaker unit;
an enclosure mounted to a vehicle body accommodating the speaker unit, and provided with an inner space which is divided into a front space into which a front sound of the speaker unit is radiated and a rear space into which a rear sound of the speaker unit is radiated by a division member;
a first path connecting the front space of the enclosure to a first division space provided in the vehicle body;
a second path connecting the rear space of the enclosure to a second division space, which is provided in the vehicle body and is divided from the first division space; and
a front sound outlet connecting the front space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

2. The speaker device for a vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising a rear sound outlet connecting the rear space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

3. The speaker device for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the rear sound outlet comprises a duct member extended from an opening formed in the enclosure toward the inside of the rear space.

4. The speaker device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first path and the second path are respectively connected to the first division space and the second division space provided in a side sill structure of the vehicle body.

5. The speaker device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first path and the second path are respectively connected to the first division space and the second division space provided in a cross member of the vehicle body.

6. The speaker device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the speaker unit is mounted to the division member such that a front surface of the speaker unit is exposed to the front space and a rear surface of the speaker unit is exposed to the rear space.

7. The speaker device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the front sound outlet comprises a duct member extended from an opening formed in the enclosure toward the inside of the front space.

8. A vehicle comprising;
a vehicle body provided with a first division space and a second division space which is divided from the first division space; and
a speaker device installed in the vehicle body,
wherein the speaker device comprises:
a speaker unit;
an enclosure mounted to the vehicle body and accommodating the speaker unit, and provided with an inner space which is divided into a front space into which a front sound of the speaker unit is radiated and a rear space into which a rear sound of the speaker unit is radiated by a division member;
a first path connecting the front space of the enclosure to the first division space;
a second path connecting the rear space of the enclosure to the second division space; and
a front sound outlet connecting the front space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

9. The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the speaker device further comprises a rear sound outlet connecting the rear space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

10. The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the first division space and the second division space are formed to be divided in a side sill structure of the vehicle body.

11. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the side sill structure comprises at least one partition dividing an inside of the side sill structure in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction and configured to reinforce the rigidity of the side sill structure.

12. The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the first division space and the second division space are provided in a cross member of the vehicle body.

13. A vehicle comprising:
a vehicle body provided with a first division space and a second division space which is divided from the first division space; and
a speaker device installed in the vehicle body,
wherein the speaker device comprises:
a speaker unit;
an enclosure mounted to the vehicle body while accommodating the speaker unit, and provided with an inner space which is divided into a front space into which a front sound of the speaker unit is radiated and a rear space into which a rear sound of the speaker unit is radiated by a division member;
a first path connecting the front space of the enclosure to the first division space; and
a second path connecting the rear space of the enclosure to the second division space,
wherein the vehicle body comprises a front sound outlet for connecting the first division space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

14. The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the vehicle body further comprises a rear sound outlet connecting the second division space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

15. The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the first division space and the second division space are provided in a side sill structure of the vehicle body, wherein the side sill structure comprises at least one partition dividing an inside of the side sill structure in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction and reinforcing the rigidity of the side sill structure.

16. The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the first division space and the second division space are provided in a cross member of the vehicle body.
