Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flat plate bass loudspeaker comprising a flat plate diaphragm, at least three driving units and a housing. The driving unit comprises a voice coil unit and a magnetic circuit unit; the voice coil units are dispersedly coupled to one side of the diaphragm near the housing; mounting holes for accommodating and fixing the magnetic circuit units, and voice outlet holes penetrating through the housing are arranged on the housing; the number and position of the mounting holes are corresponding to those of voice coils attached to the spherical top of the diaphragm; and ratio of the total area of the voice outlet holes to the orthographic projection area of the diaphragm on the housing is in a range less than 0.9. The flat plate bass loudspeaker provided by the present invention can avoid the problems occurred in thick and heavy voice coils and excessive magnet performance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A flat plate-type bass loudspeaker, comprising a flat plate-shaped vibration diaphragm, at least three driving units independent from each other and a housing for fixing and combining the vibration diaphragm and the driving units, wherein, each driving unit comprises a voice coil unit and a magnetic circuit unit corresponding to the voice coil unit, and the voice coil units are separately combined and fixed at one side of the vibration diaphragm closer to the housing, the vibration diaphragm comprising a rigid dome part at a central region and a folding ring part at an edge region, mounting holes for accommodating and fixing the magnetic circuit units, and sound holes penetrating through the housing and communicating with outside are arranged on the housing, the number and positions of the mounting holes corresponding to the number and positions of voice coil units attached to the dome part of the vibration diaphragm, wherein: the housing comprises a mounting plane and an annular side wall arranged surrounding the mounting plane, a ratio of total area of the sound holes to area of the orthographic projection of the vibration diaphragm on the housing is in a range of 0.2 to 0.6, the sound holes comprise a central sound hole arranged at the central region of the mounting plane and an edge sound hole arranged at the edge region of the mounting plane, and, an area of the central sound hole is larger than an area of the edge sound hole. 2. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein, the vibration diaphragm is rectangular in shape, and the voice coil units are fixed and combined to the dome part. 3. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein, the mounting holes and the sound holes are arranged on the mounting plane, and an upper side of the annular side wall is coupled to the folding ring part of the vibration diaphragm. 4. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein, the number of the driving units is four or six, wherein, at each of four corners of the dome part is disposed one of the voice coil units, respectively. 5. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 4 , further comprising a FPCB connector electrically connecting an internal circuit and an external circuit of the bass loudspeaker, wherein, when the number of the driving units is four, the FPCB connector is T-shaped, clamped and fixed on the mounting plane at the edge of the central sound hole, one part of the FPCB connector is positioned at a side of the mounting plane closer to the vibration diaphragm, and other part of the FPCB connector is positioned at a side of the mounting plane away from the vibration diaphragm, and when the number of the driving units is six, the FPCB connector has an elongated shape, the middle part of the FPCB connector is coupled to a side of the vibration diaphragm where the voice coils are disposed, and two end parts of the FPCB connector extend to a side of the mounting plane away from the vibration diaphragm through the edge sound hole. 6. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 4 , wherein, when the number of the driving units is six, the central sound hole is circular or square in shape, arranged between every four adjacent mounting holes, and the edge sound hole has an elongated shape, arranged between four sides of the annular side wall and the mounting holes, respectively. 7. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein, the folding ring part is made of PU or silicon rubber, and the housing is made of an aluminum alloy material. 8. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein, the periphery of the annular side wall is further provided with an extension part on which fixing holes for fixing the loudspeaker are uniformly arranged. 9. The flat plate-type bass loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein, the voice coil unit comprises a centering sheet, a voice coil bobbin and a voice coil, and the upper surface of the mounting plane is provided with a position limiting part for limiting the centering sheet.
