Abstract

The present invention relates to a flat-type speaker, and more specifically, to a flat-type speaker in which a plurality of magnetic circuits are horizontally connected in serial or in parallel such that one speaker is formed. According to the present invention, a flat-type speaker in which a plurality of magnetic circuits are horizontally connected is constituted by: a horizontal connection structure in which two or more pairs of independent magnetic bodies having different polarities are equipped; on said two or more magnetic bodies, enabling two or more voice coil plates, on which voice coils are printed, to be vertically arranged between the respective magnetic bodies in a horizontal direction; enabling the stream of currents of said two or more voice coil plates to maintain the same direction; allowing two or more thin film-shaped vibration-lead plates to be positioned on the upper end of said two or more voice coil plates such that the plates are electrically separated from each other; and allowing said voice coils and said two or more vibration-lead plates to be electrically connected with each other.

Claims (38)

1. A flat-type speaker, comprising:

a plurality of magnetic circuits;

wherein the plurality of magnetic circuits are horizontally connected;

two or more pairs of independent magnetic bodies with different polarities being horizontally connected;

each of two or more voice coil plates having voice coils printed thereon and being horizontally arrayed between the magnetic bodies in a vertical direction in the two or more magnetic bodies;

wherein the two or more voice coil plates maintain an identical current flow direction;

two or more vibration-lead plates of a slim and thin film shape being electrically separated from each other and placed on top of the two or more voice coil plates;

wherein the voice coils and the two or more vibration-lead plates are electrically connected;

wherein the two or more vibration-lead plates comprise contact splines electrically connected to respective voice coils in response to the two or more voice coil plates; and

a bridge spline interconnecting the contact splines.

2. The flat-type speaker according to claim 1 , further comprising power source terminals for applying a power source and which are formed at both ends of the two or more vibration-lead plates.

3. The flat-type speaker of claim 1 , wherein:

the two or more vibration-lead plates further comprise

a vibration spline brought into surface-to-surface contact with a diaphragm placed on an upper side of the vibration-lead plates, and a wing spline interconnecting the contact spline and the vibration spline.

4. The flat-type speaker of claim 1 , wherein the two or more vibration-lead plates further comprise vibration splines brought into surface-to-surface contact with a diaphragm placed on an upper side of the vibration-lead plates, and wing splines interconnecting the contact splines and the vibration splines.

5. The flat-type speaker of claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of magnetic circuits is consecutively connected and further comprises one or more connection lead plates; vibration splines brought into surface-to-surface contact with a diaphragm placed on an upper side of the two or more vibration-lead plates, and wing splines interconnecting the contact splines and the vibration splines; and

the contact splines further comprise a first serial contact spline electrically connected to the voice coil of one voice coil plate and a second serial contact spline electrically connected to another voice coil plate adjacent to the one voice coil plate, wherein the bridge spline interconnects the first and the second serial contact splines.

6. The flat-type speaker of claim 1 , wherein a connection terminal of a copper thin plate form is formed at a portion where the two or more vibration-lead plates and the voice coils are electrically connected.

7. The flat-type speaker of claim 1 , wherein:

a bottom of the two or more voice coil plates is mounted on seating portions placed in a vertical central part of a rectangular damper, and

an outskirt of the damper is mounted on a damper guide formed at an outskirt of a bottom of a base frame that form an outward appearance.

8. A flat-type speaker, comprising:

a plurality of magnetic circuits;

wherein the plurality of magnetic circuits are horizontally connected;

two or more pairs of independent magnetic bodies with different polarities being horizontally connected;

each of two or more voice coil plates having voice coils printed thereon and being horizontally arrayed between the magnetic bodies in a vertical direction in the two or more magnetic bodies;

wherein the two or more voice coil plates maintain an identical current flow direction;

two or more vibration-lead plates of a slim and thin film shape being electrically separated from each other and placed on top of the two or more voice coil plates;

wherein the voice coils and the two or more vibration-lead plates are electrically connected;

wherein the plurality of magnetic circuits is consecutively connected and further comprises one or more connection lead plates;

vibration splines brought into surface-to-surface contact with a diaphragm placed on an upper side of the two or more vibration-lead plates, and wing splines interconnecting contact splines and vibration splines; and

the contact splines further comprise a first serial contact spline electrically connected to the voice coil of one voice coil plate and a second serial contact spline electrically connected to another voice coil plate adjacent to the one voice coil plate, wherein the bridge spline interconnects the first and the second serial contact splines.

9. The flat-type speaker according to claim 8 , further comprising power source terminals for applying a power source and which are formed at both ends of the two or more vibration-lead plates.

10. The flat-type speaker of claim 8 , wherein a connection terminal of a copper thin plate form is formed at a portion where the two or more vibration-lead plates and the voice coils are electrically connected.

11. The flat-type speaker of claim 8 , wherein:

a bottom of the two or more voice coil plates is mounted on seating portions placed in a vertical central part of a rectangular damper, and

an outskirt of the damper is mounted on a damper guide formed at an outskirt of a bottom of a base frame that form an outward appearance.
