Abstract

Disclosed is a sound-producing device including a voice coil, comprising a bobbin and a voice coil body wound outside the bobbin; and a damper having a first connecting part and a second connecting part; wherein the first connecting part is fixedly connected to the voice coil, and the second connecting part is fixed on the sound-producing device; there is provided a planar elastic member between the first connecting part and the second connecting part, the planar elastic member is bent and extends from the first connecting part to the second connecting part; the damper is made of conductive material, and is configured to establish electrical communication with the voice coil; the sound-producing device has a height in a vibration direction thereof ranging from 5 mm to 200 mm.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sound-producing device, comprising:
a voice coil, comprising a bobbin and a voice coil body wound outside the bobbin;
a damper having a first connecting part and a second connecting part; wherein the first connecting part is fixedly connected to the voice coil, and the second connecting part is fixed on the sound-producing device; and
a bent planar elastic member positioned between the first connecting part and the second connecting part, extending therebetween;
wherein the damper is made of conductive material, and is configured to establish electrical communication with the voice coil;
wherein the sound-producing device has a height in a vibration direction thereof ranging from 5 mm to 200 mm.

2. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , further comprising a casing on which the second connecting part is fixed;
wherein a conductive terminal is bonded to the casing by injection molding, the conductive terminal being configured to connect to an external circuit and electrically connect to the second connecting part.

3. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , wherein the damper is a line-like structure formed by integrally winding a metal wire.

4. The sound-producing device of claim 3 , wherein the metal wire is selected from the group consisting of copper wire, iron wire, steel wire and alloy wire.

5. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting part is connected to at least one of a side surface of the voice coil body proximate to an end face thereof and the bobbin, so that the damper establishes electrical communication with the voice coil.

6. The sound-producing device of claim 5 , wherein at least one damper is fixed on the bobbin; a first connecting part of a damper is fixed to a first connecting part of a damper adjacent thereto via a connection bridge;
wherein a second pad is provided at a position on the side surface of the bobbin corresponding to the connection bridge;
the connection bridge is connected to the second pad to establish electrical communication between the damper and the voice coil.

7. The sound-producing device of claim 5 , wherein an inner conduction structure is provided on the side surface of the voice coil body proximate to the end face thereof, and
the first connecting part is fixedly connected to the inner conduction structure.

8. The sound-producing device of claim 7 , wherein the sound-producing device further comprises a basin-shaped U-iron where a magnet is provided in a basin thereof, the voice coil being provided inside the basin of the U-iron and being under action of magnetic field of the magnet;
the U-iron is provided with a notch, and the damper is connected to the voice coil through the notch.

9. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , wherein the damper comprises a planar structure.

10. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , wherein the planar elastic member spreads outward along a direction from the first connecting part to the second connecting part, and forms a spreading angle which is no less than 10°.

11. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , wherein the sound-producing device has a resonance frequency F0 of 50 Hz to 300 Hz.

12. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , wherein the sound-producing device has a height of 17 mm to 19 mm in a vibration direction thereof.

13. The sound-producing device of claim 1 , wherein the sound-producing device is selected from the group consisting of a round sound-producing device and a square sound-producing device.
