Abstract

The invention provides a speaker module for a mobile terminal provided with a sound output port. The speaker module includes a speaker box, and the speaker box includes a sound output opening. The speaker module also includes a horn barrel connected with the sound output opening. The sound output opening includes a first sound output opening and a second sound output opening. Compared with the related art, the present invention can realize multi-level resonance, small size, convenient to widen the frequency band range and easy to adapt to the mobile terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A speaker module for a mobile terminal provided with a sound output port, including:
a speaker box having a sound output opening in a side surface to generate sound, the sound output opening having a first sound output opening arranged in a direction of a horizontal axis of the speaker box and a second sound output opening arranged in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the speaker box;
a horn barrel connected to the sound output opening, the horn barrel having a hollow structure and used to transmit a sound from the speaker box to the sound output port of the mobile terminal, the horn barrel including a first section connected to the first sound output opening, a second section bent and extended from ends of the first section away from the first sound output opening, and a third section bent and extended from the second section; wherein
one end of the second section away from the first section connects to the sound output port; and two ends of the third section are respectively connected to the second sound output opening and the second section.

2. The speaker module as described in claim 1 , wherein, the first sound output opening is located on one of the long axis sides of the speaker box; the second sound output opening is located on one of the short axis sides of the speaker box; and the second section is bent from the first section and extends beyond the plane of the speaker box where the short axis side of the second sound output opening is located.

3. The speaker module as described in claim 2 , wherein, a cross-sectional area of the first section gradually decreases along the sound output direction; a cross-sectional area of the second section gradually increases along the sound output direction; a cross-sectional area of the third section remains unchanged along the sound output direction.

4. The speaker module as described in claim 3 , wherein, a bottom surface of the first section is a first plane, a top surface of the first section is an inclined plane, and a bottom surface of the second section is a second plane; a top surface of the second section includes an arc-shaped surface and a third plane connected to the arc-shaped surface; the bottom surface and top surface of the third section are the fourth plane; the first plane and the second plane are the same plane.

5. The speaker module as described in claim 3 , wherein, the second section has an axisymmetric structure along the center line of its sound output direction.

6. The speaker module as described in claim 3 , wherein the second section is in a shape of a horn.

7. The speaker module as described in claim 1 , wherein the second section and/or the third section is filled with sound absorbing material.
