Abstract

Disclosed is a multi-magnet system for speaker. The multi-magnet system includes a yoke having a bottom, a pair of main magnets separated from each other and mounted on the bottom of the yoke, respectively, a mid-magnet mounted on the bottom of the yoke and located between the pair of main magnets, and a pair of auxiliary magnets attached to two ends of the yoke. Wherein, the first main magnet together with the first auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet defines a first magnetic gap and the second main magnet together with the second auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet defines a second magnetic gap. By virtue of place the magnets at appropriate locations, the sensitivity of the speaker is effectively enhanced.

Claims (33)

1. A multi-magnet system, comprising:

a yoke having a bottom;

a pair of main magnets separated from each other and mounted on the bottom of the yoke, respectively, the main magnets including a first main magnet and a second magnet;

a mid-magnet mounted on the bottom of the yoke and located between the pair of main magnets, the mid-magnet magnetized in a direction opposite to the main magnets;

a first auxiliary magnet attached to one end of the yoke and located adjacent to the first main magnet, the first auxiliary magnet magnetized in a direction opposite to the main magnets; and

a second auxiliary magnet attached to the other end of the yoke and located adjacent to the second main magnet, the second auxiliary magnet magnetized in a direction opposite to the main magnets;

wherein, the first main magnet together with the first auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet defines a first magnetic gap for generating magnetic force and the second main magnet together with the second auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet defines a second magnetic gap for generating magnetic force.

2. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 1 , wherein the mid-magnet is divided into two parts.

3. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 1 , wherein the yoke further defines a pair of first longitudinal sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom of the yoke and surrounding the first main magnet together with the first auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet and a pair of the second longitudinal sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom of the yoke and surrounding the second main magnet together with the second auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet; the longitudinal sidewalls are separated from the main magnets, respectively.

4. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 1 , wherein the multi-magnet system is symmetrical with respect to a geometric center thereof.

5. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 4 , wherein each of auxiliary magnets is parallel to the mid-magnet.

6. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 5 , wherein the auxiliary magnets are perpendicular to the longitudinal sidewalls.

7. A multi-magnet system, comprising:

a yoke having a bottom;

a pair of main magnets separated from each other and mounted on the bottom of the yoke, respectively, the pair of main magnets including a first main magnet and a second main magnet;

a mid-magnet mounted on the bottom of the yoke and located between the pair of main magnets, the mid-magnet magnetized in a direction opposite to the main magnets;

a pair of auxiliary magnets attached to two ends of the yoke, the auxiliary magnets including a first auxiliary magnet attached to one end of the yoke and a second auxiliary magnet attached to another end of the yoke, the auxiliary magnets magnetized in a direction opposite to the main magnets;

a pair of first longitudinal magnets surrounding the first main magnet together with the first auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet; and

a pair of the second longitudinal magnets surrounding the second main magnet together with the second auxiliary magnet and the mid-magnet;

wherein, the first and second longitudinal magnets are magnetized in a direction opposite to the main magnets; and

the first main magnet together with the first auxiliary magnet, the pair of the first longitudinal magnets and the mid-magnet defines a first magnetic gap and the second main magnet together with the second auxiliary magnet, the pair of the second longitudinal magnets and the mid-magnet further defines a second magnetic gap.

8. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 7 , wherein the mid-magnet is divided into two parts.

9. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 8 , wherein the multi-magnet system is symmetrical with respect to a geometric center thereof.

10. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 9 , wherein the pair of the first longitudinal magnets is parallel to each other.

11. The multi-magnet system as described in claim 10 , wherein the pair of the second longitudinal magnets is parallel to each other.

12. A speaker, comprising:

a multi-magnet system as described in claim 1 ;

a frame forming at least one hollow space for receiving the multi-magnet system;

a diaphragm mounted on the frame; and

a pair of voice coil driving the diaphragm and suspended in the first and second magnetic gaps, respectively; and the first and second magnetic gaps is capable of generating magnetic force for driving the voice coil, respectively.

13. The speaker as described in claim 12 , wherein the frame defines a brace at a middle portion thereof for dividing the hollow space into a first hollow space for receiving the first voice coil and a second hollow space for receiving the second voice coil.

14. The speaker as described in claim 13 , wherein the mid-magnet is divided into two parts.

15. The speaker as described in claim 14 , wherein the multi-magnet system is symmetrical with respect to a geometric center thereof.
