Abstract

A vibration speaker includes a screen; a frame for supporting the screen; a support attached to the frame, including a first supporting part and a second supporting part; and a piezoelectric vibrator fixed on the support for actuating the screen to vibrate. The piezoelectric vibrator is respectively connected to the first supporting part and the second supporting part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vibration speaker, comprising:
a screen;
a frame for supporting the screen, the frame having a receiving space formed therein;
a support attached to the frame, including a first supporting part and a second supporting part; and
a piezoelectric vibrator fixed on the support for actuating the screen to vibrate; wherein the piezoelectric vibrator is respectively connected to the first supporting part and the second supporting part; wherein:
the frame comprises a pair of sidewalls opposite to each other, the first supporting part attaches to one of the sidewalls, the second supporting part attaches to the other of the sidewalls, the first supporting part and a second supporting part extends towards each other from each of the sidewalls separately into the receiving space, a gap is formed between the first supporting part and the second supporting part, and the piezoelectric vibrator spans the gap;
the vibration speaker further comprises an inner plate fixed to the frame, the inner plate contacting and supporting the support.

2. The vibration speaker as described in claim 1 , wherein each of the sidewalls comprises a protrusion part protruding perpendicularly from an inner surface thereof for supporting the screen.

3. The vibration speaker as described in claim 2 , wherein the first supporting part and the second supporting part are respectively fixed to the protrusion parts.

4. The vibration speaker as described in claim 3 , wherein the protrusion parts are sandwiched between the screen and the support.

5. The vibration speaker as described in claim 4 , wherein a distance is formed between two of the protrusion parts which are opposite with each other, and the gap has a width smaller than the distance.

6. The vibration speaker as described in claim 1 , wherein the piezoelectric vibrator comprises a metal substrate and a pair of piezoelectric layers attached onto two opposite surfaces of the metal substrate.

7. The vibration speaker as described in claim 6 , wherein two opposite ends of the metal substrate are respectively connected to the first supporting part and the second supporting part.

8. The vibration speaker as described in claim 7 , wherein each of two opposite ends of the metal substrate is designed to include an L-shaped fixing structure respectively, and the first supporting part and the second supporting part respectively include a first step part and a second step part facing each other.

9. The vibration speaker as described in claim 8 , wherein the L-shaped fixing structure comprises a connecting blade and a fixing blade extending perpendicularly from the connecting blade towards a corresponding sidewall of the frame.

10. The vibration speaker as described in claim 9 , wherein the fixing blade is placed on and fixed to the corresponding one of the first step part and the second step part.

11. The vibration speaker as described in claim 9 , wherein the connecting blade extends perpendicularly from the main body of the metal substrate and towards a corresponding one of the first step part and the second step part.

12. The vibration speaker as described in claim 1 , further comprising a vibration transferring member for transferring vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator to the screen; wherein the vibration transferring member is disposed between the piezoelectric vibrator and the screen.

13. The vibration speaker as described in claim 1 , wherein the support separates the inner plate from the screen.

14. The vibration speaker as described in claim 1 further comprising a spacing member and a rear cover; wherein the rear cover covers a bottom of the frame, the spacing member is disposed between the rear cover and the inner plate.
