Abstract

A miniature sound generator is disclosed. The miniature sound generator includes a vibration system including a diaphragm and a voice coil arranged below the diaphragm for driving the diaphragm to generate sound, the voice coil having a pair of long axis edges and a pair of short axis edges; a fixing system; and a flexible circuit board elastically supporting the voice coil. The flexible circuit board includes a first fixing part connected with the fixing system, a second fixing part connected to the voice coil, and a plurality of elastic connecting pieces connecting the first fixing part to the second fixing part. The elastic connecting pieces are connected with the long axis edges of the voice coil, and the voice coil is electrically connected with the elastic connecting pieces.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A miniature sound generator comprising:
a vibration system including a diaphragm and a voice coil arranged below the diaphragm for driving the diaphragm to generate sound, the voice coil having a pair of long axis edges and a pair of short axis edges;
a fixing system;
a flexible circuit board elastically supporting the voice coil, the flexible circuit board including a first fixing part connected with the fixing system, a second fixing part connected to the voice coil, and a plurality of elastic connecting pieces connecting the first fixing part to the second fixing part; wherein
the elastic connecting pieces are connected with the long axis edges of the voice coil, and the voice coil is electrically connected with the elastic connecting pieces, the voice coil comprises an upper surface close to the diaphragm, a lower surface far away from the diaphragm, and a side surface connecting the upper surface to the lower surface; and the flexible circuit board is connected with the lower surface or with the side surface.

2. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 1 , wherein the vibration system further comprises a voice coil lead connecting to the voice coil and the flexible circuit board, and the elastic connecting pieces comprise a second bonding plate formed by extending to the long axis edges from the second fixing part; and the second bonding plate is connected with the voice coil lead.

3. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 2 , wherein the voice coil lead is connected with the second bonding plate by coil outgoing from the middle part of the long axis edges of the voice coil.

4. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 1 , wherein the vibration system further comprises a vibrating diaphragm elastically supporting the voice coil; and the vibrating diaphragm is connected with the long axis edges of the voice coil, the vibrating diaphragm comprises a third fixing part connected with the fixing system, a fourth fixing part connected with the voice coil and a folding part connecting the third fixing part and the fourth fixing part.

5. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 1 , wherein the vibration system further comprises vibrating diaphragms elastically supporting the voice coil; and the vibrating diaphragms are arranged at the long axis edges of the voice coil, arranged by clamping between the fixing system and the flexible circuit board, the vibrating diaphragms comprise a third fixing part connected with the fixing system, a fourth fixing part connected with the flexible circuit board and a folding part connecting the third fixing part and the fourth fixing part.

6. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 5 , wherein the vibrating diaphragms are symmetrically arranged along the direction of the long axis edges, and gaps corresponding to the short axis edges are formed between the vibrating diaphragms.

7. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 1 , wherein the fixing system comprises a frame, a magnetic bowl matched with the frame to form an accommodation space and a magnetic circuit system accommodated in the accommodation space and driving the vibration system to vibrate; the magnetic circuit system comprises a magnet attached on the magnetic bowl.

8. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 7 , wherein the magnet comprises a main magnet, a pair of auxiliary magnets symmetrically arranged at two sides of the main magnet, and an annular magnetic conductive part surrounding the main magnet and the auxiliary magnets.

9. The miniature sound generator as described in claim 2 , wherein the flexible circuit board comprises a first bonding plate formed by extending outward from the first fixing part, and the first bonding plate is connected with an external circuit.
