Abstract

An acoustic device comprises a sound generating unit having a vibration diaphragm, the acoustic device is provided with a sound outlet, the sound waves at a front side of the vibration diaphragm radiates to the outside through the sound outlet; and an enclosed closed cavity formed at a rear side of the vibration diaphragm, the closed cavity is divided into first and second closed cavities by a partition part, and at least a portion of the partition part flexibly deforms, the first closed cavity is adjacent to the vibration diaphragm, the second closed cavity is far away from the vibration diaphragm, the volume of the second closed cavity is larger than that of the first closed cavity; the second closed cavity encloses the sound waves into the second closed cavity; at least a part of an electronic apparatus housing is used for forming the first and/or the second closed cavity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An acoustic device, comprising:
a sound generating unit comprising a vibration diaphragm, wherein the acoustic device is provided with a sound outlet, and sound waves at a front side of the vibration diaphragm radiates to outside through the sound outlet; and
an enclosed closed cavity formed at a rear side of the vibration diaphragm, and the closed cavity is divided into a first closed cavity and a second closed cavity by a partition part, wherein at least a portion of the partition part can be flexibly deformed, and the first closed cavity is adjacent to the vibration diaphragm, and the second closed cavity is far away from the vibration diaphragm, and a volume of the second closed cavity is larger than a volume of the first closed cavity,
when the vibration diaphragm vibrates, an internal sound pressure of the first closed cavity changes, so a flexible deformation part of the partition part deforms with the change of the sound pressure in the first closed cavity, so as to flexibly adjust the volume of the first closed cavity; and the second closed cavity encloses sound waves generated by the flexible deformation part during the deformation into the second closed cavity, and
at least a part of an electronic apparatus housing for mounting the acoustic device is used for forming the first closed cavity and/or the second closed cavity,
wherein the acoustic device comprises a first housing, the sound generating unit is mounted on the first housing to form a sound generating assembly, and the first closed cavity is formed between the vibration diaphragm of the sound generating unit and the first housing,
wherein the acoustic device comprises a second housing, the sound generating assembly is mounted in the second housing, and the second closed cavity is formed between the second housing and the first housing,
wherein a portion of the first housing forms the partition part,
wherein the second housing is the electronic apparatus housing, and
wherein the sound generating unit and the flexible deformation part are arranged on the same side of the first housing and are arranged in a staggered manner.

2. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein bodies of the first closed cavity and the second closed cavity extend in a horizontal direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the acoustic device.

3. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the sound generating units and the first closed cavities are provided in plural by one-to-one correspondence, the second closed cavity is provided with one, and the partition part between each of the first closed cavities and the second closed cavity is provided with the flexible deformation part.

4. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the sound generating unit is provided with one or more, the first closed cavity is provided with one, and the second closed cavity is provided with one or more.

5. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein a vibration direction of the vibration diaphragm of the sound generating unit is parallel to a thickness direction of the acoustic device.

6. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the second housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, and the sound outlet is provided on the top wall, the bottom wall or the side wall.

7. The acoustic device of claim 6 , wherein the acoustic device is provided with a sound channel corresponding to the sound outlet, and the sound waves at the front side of the vibration diaphragm radiates to the sound outlet through the sound channel, wherein
the sound generating unit is mounted in the first housing, and the sound channel is provided on the first housing; or
the sound channel is provided on the second housing, and the sound generating assembly is opposed to and coupled with the sound channel; or
the sound channel is separately provided, and the sound channel is opposed to and coupled with the sound outlet and the sound generating assembly, respectively.

8. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the flexible deformation part is an independent part, and the flexible deformation part is fixedly connected with other portions of the first housing by means of bonding, welding or hot melting; or
the flexible deformation part is integrally coupled with the other portions of the first housing.

9. The acoustic device of claim 1 , wherein the sound generating unit is a micro sound generating unit.

10. An electronic apparatus, comprising the acoustic device according to claim 1 .

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , the electronic apparatus comprises an electronic apparatus housing, and at least a portion of the electronic apparatus housing is used for forming the first closed cavity and/or the second closed cavity.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the acoustic device comprises a first housing, the sound generating unit is mounted on the first housing to form a sound generating assembly, and the first closed cavity is formed between the vibration diaphragm of the sound generating unit and the first housing; the acoustic device further comprises a second housing, the sound generating assembly is mounted in the second housing, and the second closed cavity is formed between the second housing and the first housing,
a portion of the first housing forms the partition part, and
the second housing is the electronic apparatus housing.
