Sound-reproducing transducer
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a sound-reproducing transducer ( 60 ) connected to a printed circuit ( 50 ). This transducer ( 60 ) has the shape of a hollow cylinder whose cylindrical wall ( 66 ) delimits two circular faces, one front face ( 66 c ) and one rear face ( 66 d ) that are opposed and planar. The transducer ( 60 ) comprises at least one diaphragm ( 64 ) that makes it possible to convert electric signals into sound waves and conversely. This diaphragm ( 64 ) is a circular membrane parallel to the front face ( 66 c ) and rear face ( 66 d ) of the transducer ( 60 ). The diaphragm ( 64 ) delimits two distinct volumes in the transducer ( 60 ), the first volume being bordered on one side by the circular face ( 66 c ) of the transducer ( 60 ) and on the other by the diaphragm ( 64 ) while forming a front acoustic cavity ( 61 ), and the second volume being bordered on one side by the circular face ( 66 d ) of the transducer ( 60 ) and on the other by the diaphragm ( 64 ) while forming a rear acoustic cavity ( 62 ). The invention is characterized in that the cylindrical wall ( 66 ) of the transducer ( 60 ) has at least one perforation ( 72, 74, 76, 77, 78 ).
1. Sound-reproducing transducer connected to a printed circuit, the transducer having the shape of a hollow cylinder whose cylindrical wall delimits two circular faces: a front face and a rear face that are opposed and planar, the transducer comprising:
at least one diaphragm for converting electrical signals into sound waves and vice-versa, the diaphragm being a circular membrane parallel to the front face and the rear face of the transducer, the diaphragm delimiting two distinct volumes in the transducer:
the first volume, bordered on one side by the circular face of the transducer and on the other side by the diaphragm, this first volume forming a front acoustic cavity, and the second volume, bordered on one side by the circular face of the transducer and on the other side by the diaphragm, this second volume forming a rear acoustic cavity, wherein said cylindrical wall of the transducer includes at least one perforation, wherein said perforation is of substantially rectangular shape.
2. Sound-reproducing transducer according to claim 1 , wherein the perforation forms a hole in the rear acoustic cavity on the cylindrical wall of the transducer.
3. Sound-reproducing transducer according to claim 1 , wherein said circular face of the transducer includes at least one perforation.
4. Sound-reproducing transducer according to claim 1 , wherein said perforation has a size approximately one third of the height of the cylindrical wall.
