Abstract

The present invention provides a speaker includes a frame, a vibration system, and a magnetic circuit system. The vibration system includes a diaphragm, a voice coil assembly, and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is arranged on both sides of the speaker. The magnetic circuit system includes a magnetic bowl and a magnet assembly. The printed circuit board includes a first fixing portion mounted with the frame, a second fixing portion mounted with the voice coil assembly, and a connecting portion. The connecting portion extends toward a direction of the magnet assembly until a part of a projection of the connecting portion along a vibration direction of the diaphragm is located on the magnet assembly. The speaker can increase the length of the force arm under the premise of minimizing the loss of BL, and improve the acoustic performance of the product.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A speaker, comprising:
a frame; a vibration system supported on the frame, the vibration system comprising:
a diaphragm;
a voice coil assembly driving the diaphragm to generate sounds; and
a printed circuit board elastically supporting the voice coil assembly, the printed circuit board arranged on both sides of the speaker along a first direction, the printed circuit board comprising:
a first fixing portion mounted with the frame;
a second fixing portion mounted with the voice coil assembly; and
a connecting portion shaped as a flat plate being suspended and connecting the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion;
a magnetic circuit system having a magnetic gap, the voice coil assembly at least partially located into the magnetic gap, the magnetic circuit system comprising:
a magnetic bowl;
a magnet assembly fixed on the magnetic bowl;
wherein the connecting portion extends toward a direction of the magnet assembly until a part of a projection of the connecting portion along a vibration direction of the diaphragm is located on the magnet assembly.

2 . The speaker as described in claim 1 , wherein the magnet assembly comprises a main magnet and a plurality of auxiliary magnets forming the magnetic gap with the main magnet, the auxiliary magnets arranged on both sides of the main magnet along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the connecting portion extending toward the direction of the auxiliary magnet until the part of the projection of the connecting portion along the vibration direction of the diaphragm located on the auxiliary magnet.

3 . The speaker as described in claim 2 , wherein the auxiliary magnet recessing to form an avoidance portion to avoid the connecting portion.

4 . The speaker as described in claim 2 , wherein the connecting portion extends towards the direction of the auxiliary magnet and exceeds a position of the second fixing portion.

5 . The speaker as described in claim 4 , wherein the first fixing portion comprises a first part located in the first direction and a second part located in the second direction and connected with the first part, the connecting portion comprising a first extension part bending and extending to both sides from a middle position of the second fixing portion, a second extension part bending and extending from the first extension part toward the auxiliary magnet, and a third extension part bending and extending from the second extension part to connect to the second part.

6 . The speaker as described in claim 2 , wherein the speaker has a rectangular shape, and the first direction is a short axis direction of the speaker, and the second direction is a long axis direction of the speaker.

7 . The speaker as described in claim 1 , wherein the second fixing portion of the printed circuit board comprises a soldering portion disposed on each end of the second fixing portion.

8 . The speaker as described in claim 1 , wherein the voice coil assembly comprises a voice coil and a voice coil support connecting the voice coil and the diaphragm, the voice coil support comprising a first joint part connected to a surface of the voice coil proximal to the diaphragm, a plurality of supporting legs extending from one side of the first joint part toward the direction of the printed circuit board and connected to the second fixing portion of the printed circuit board, and a second joint part extending from the other side of the first joint part toward the diaphragm and attached to the diaphragm.

9 . The speaker as described in claim 1 , wherein the magnetic bowl comprises a carrying portion shaped as a flat plate and carrying the magnet assembly and a fixing arm shaped as a flat plate and bending and extending from both sides of the carrying portion, the fixing arm connected to the first fixing portion of the printed circuit board.

10 . The speaker as described in claim 9 , wherein a hollow part is provided on the carrying portion of the magnetic bowl corresponding to the position of the second fixing portion and part of the connecting portion of the printed circuit board.
