Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a vibration sound-producing apparatus. A sound output aperture is provided on a sidewall perpendicular to a thickness direction. A diaphragm is parallel to the plane on which the sound output aperture is located. A flat sound coil is perpendicular to the diaphragm. Two magnets parallel to the sound coil are arranged at either side of the sound coil. The vibrating direction of the sound coil avoids the thickness direction. The vibrating direction of an integral structure of the magnets and a magnetic conductor part also avoids the thickness direction. This facilitates a thickness-reduced design for a product, increases the space for vibration, and enhances product performance, meanwhile, the design of the two magnets effectively increases the strength of the magnetic field within the product, this further improving product performance. The vibration sound-producing apparatus of the present invention has the advantages of a great thickness-reduced design and great performance.
