Abstract

A speaker includes a base defining a pair of receiving cavities separated from each other in a longitudinal direction and an engaging portion disposed between the pair of receiving cavities, a pair of magnetic circuit systems received into the pair of the receiving cavities, a diaphragm attached on the base, a pair of voice coil members connecting with the diaphragm, and a suspension mounted on the base. The suspension defines a pair of separating portions separated from each other in a lateral direction. Each separating portion defines a fixing portion engaging with the engaging portion of the base, a pair of connecting portions extending from two ends of the fixing portion and towards the diaphragm, and a pair of supporting portions connecting with the connecting portion for engaging with the pair of voice coil members, respectively.

Claims (30)

1. A speaker comprising:

a base defining a pair of receiving cavities and an engaging portion, the pair of receiving cavities separated from each other in a longitudinal direction, the engaging portion disposed between the pair of receiving cavities;

a pair of magnetic circuit systems received into the pair of receiving cavities, respectively;

a diaphragm attached to the base;

a pair of voice coil members for driving the diaphragm to vibrate along a vibrating direction; and;

a suspension mounted on the base and defining a pair of separating portions separated from each other in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, each separating portion defining a fixing portion engaging with the engaging portion of the base, a pair of connecting portions extending upwardly from two ends of the fixing portion towards the diaphragm, and a pair of supporting portions connecting with the connecting portion for engaging with the pair of voice coil members and vibrating together with the pair of voice coil members, respectively;

wherein, when the supporting portions vibrate relative to the engaging portion, the fixing portion is static relative to the engaging portion.

2. The speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each connecting portion defines a first connecting portion extending upwardly from the fixing portion and a second connecting portion connecting with the first connecting portion.

3. The speaker as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the second connecting portions are coplanar with respect to the supporting portions.

4. The speaker as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the fixing portion of each separating portion is parallel to the supporting portions of each separating portion.

5. The speaker as claimed in claim 4 , wherein angles between the fixing portion and the pair of connecting portions of each separating portion are same to each other.

6. The speaker as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each connecting portion connects with a middle of each supporting portion.

7. The speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base defines a body portion and a surrounding portion surrounding the body portion.

8. The speaker as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the engaging portion extends from an upper surface of the body portion towards a lower surface of the body portion.

9. The speaker as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the engaging portion extends from an upper surface of the body portion and away from a lower surface of the body portion.

10. The speaker as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the engaging portion is provided on the surrounding portion.

11. The speaker as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the engaging portion defines a pair of through holes.

12. The speaker as claimed in claim 11 , wherein each fixing portion defines at least one fixing hole and the engaging portion defines even fixing posts cooperative with the fixing holes for fixing the suspension on the base firmly.

13. The speaker as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the supporting portions of each separating portion are symmetrical with respect to the fixing portion of each separating portion.

14. The speaker as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the connecting portions of each separating portion are symmetrical with respect to the fixing portion of each separating portion.

15. The speaker as claimed in claim 14 , wherein each magnetic circuit system defines a first aperture passed therethrough in a center.

16. The speaker as claimed in claim 15 , wherein each magnetic circuit system defines a yoke and the yoke includes a bottom portion, a side portion perpendicularly extending upwardly from the bottom portion, and a plurality of engaging bars extending from an upper end of the side portion.

17. The speaker as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the base defines a sidewall completely surrounding each receiving cavity and the sidewall defines a plurality of engaging holes for engaging with the engaging bars.

18. A speaker comprising:

a base defining a pair of receiving cavities and an engaging portion, the pair of receiving cavities separated from each other in a longitudinal direction, the engaging portion disposed between the pair of receiving cavities;

a pair of magnetic circuit systems received into the pair of receiving cavities, respectively; a diaphragm attached to the base;

a pair of voice coil members for driving the diaphragm to vibrate along a vibrating direction; and

a suspension mounted on the base and having a stable portion mounted on the engaging portion and a pair of moving portions connected with the stable portion and positioned at two ends of the stable portion for fixing the voice coil members on the suspension;

wherein each moving portion has a connecting portion extending upwardly from one end of the stable portion towards the diaphragm and a supporting portion connecting with the connecting portion for engaging with the corresponding voice coil member; and

wherein when the moving portions vibrate relative to the engaging portion, the stable portion is static relative to the engaging portion.
