Abstract

Disclosed is an antenna-speaker assembly, including an antenna unit including a radiator, a speaker unit including a speaker and coupled to the antenna unit, and a sound-absorbing part formed to conform to a circumference of a coupling surface of the antenna unit and the speaker unit, the sound-absorbing part being interposed between the antenna unit and the speaker unit. According to the present invention, the antenna-speaker assembly equipped with the structure of generating clear sound is provided. Furthermore, in a wireless communication device including an antenna-speaker assembly, the antenna-speaker assembly include an antenna unit including a radiator, a speaker unit including a speaker and coupled to the antenna unit, and a sound-absorbing material formed on a circumference of a face where the antenna unit and the speaker unit are coupled in such a manner as to be interposed between the antenna unit and the speaker unit.

Claims (12)

1. An antenna-speaker assembly, comprising:

an antenna unit including a radiator;

a speaker unit including a speaker and coupled to the antenna unit, wherein projections are formed on one of the antenna unit and the speaker unit, and fastening rings are formed on the other of the antenna unit and the speaker unit to correspond to the projections; and

a sound-absorbing part formed to conform to a circumference of a coupling surface of the antenna unit and the speaker unit, the sound-absorbing part being interposed between the antenna unit and the speaker unit.

2. The antenna-speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein the sound-absorbing part is of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material.

3. The antenna-speaker assembly of claim 1 , wherein the sound-absorbing material is integrally formed with the antenna unit or the speaker unit by means of dual injection molding.

4. A wireless communication device including an antenna-speaker assembly, wherein the antenna-speaker assembly comprises:

an antenna unit including a radiator;

a speaker unit including a speaker and coupled to the antenna unit, wherein projections are formed on one side of the antenna unit and the speaker unit, and fastening rings are formed on the other side of the antenna unit and the speaker unit to correspond to the projections; and

a sound-absorbing material formed on a circumference of a face where the antenna unit and the speaker unit are coupled in such a manner as to be interposed between the antenna unit and the speaker unit.

5. The wireless communication device of claim 4 , wherein the sound-absorbing material includes thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material.

6. The wireless communication device of claim 4 , wherein the sound-absorbing material is integrally formed with the antenna unit or the speaker unit by means of dual injection molding.
