Abstract

This application provides a combined-type phase plug, and a compression driver and a speaker using same. The combined-type phase plug of this application includes a first phase plug and a second phase plug. The first phase plug includes a cone, a plurality of fins, and a base ring. The plurality of fins is located on an outer surface of the cone. The base ring is located below the cone, and the plurality of fins extends downward to the base ring. The base ring is connected to the plurality of fins but is not connected to the cone. That is, the cone and the base ring are connected only by the plurality of fins. The second phase plug is located under the first phase plug. The second phase plug includes a tapered cone and a base. The tapered cone is located inside the base ring, and a first space is formed between the tapered cone and the base ring. A second space is formed between the tapered cone and the cone, and the second space extends to the first space. The base extends horizontally outward from the tapered cone, so that the base ring is located on the base. Multiple channels are formed by means of extensions of the first space and the second space to improve the acoustic performance.

Claims (29)

1. A combined-type phase plug, comprising:

a first phase plug, comprising:

a cone;

a plurality of fins located on an outer surface of the cone; and

a base ring located below the cone, wherein the plurality of fins extends downward to the base ring, and the base ring is connected to the plurality of fins but is not connected to the cone; and

a second phase plug located under the first phase plug and comprising:

a tapered cone located inside the base ring, wherein a first space is formed between the tapered cone and the base ring; and a second space is formed between the tapered cone and the cone, and the second space extends to the first space; and

a base extending horizontally outward from the tapered cone, wherein the base ring is located on the base.

2. The combined-type phase plug according to claim 1 , wherein the cone comprises a conical apex and a conical body, and the plurality of fins is located on the conical body.

3. The combined-type phase plug according to claim 1 , wherein the first phase plug comprises a base brim extending outward in a horizontal direction from the base ring, and the base brim corresponds to the base, so that the base brim is connected to the base in a fitting manner.

4. The combined-type phase plug according to claim 2 , wherein the first phase plug comprises a base brim extending outward in a horizontal direction from the base ring, and the base brim corresponds to the base, so that the base brim is connected to the base in a fitting manner.

5. A compression driver, comprising:

a housing comprising an opening;

a first phase plug, comprising:

a cone;

a plurality of fins located on an outer surface of the cone; and

a base ring located below the cone, wherein the plurality of fins extends downward to the base ring, and the base ring is connected to the plurality of fins but is not connected to the cone;

a second phase plug located under the first phase plug and comprising:

a tapered cone located inside the base ring, wherein a first space is formed between the tapered cone and the base ring, and the first space extends to the opening; and a second space is formed between the tapered cone and the cone, and the second space extends to the first space; and

a base extending outward from the tapered cone, wherein the base ring is located on the base; and

an electromagnetic sound producing combination located under the second phase plug, wherein the electromagnetic sound producing combination comprises a vibrating diaphragm, and the electromagnetic sound producing combination is capable of making, by means of an electromagnetic interaction, the vibrating diaphragm generate a piston movement to vibrate upward and downward, wherein

the housing covers the first phase plug and the second phase plug, and when the vibrating diaphragm vibrates upward and downward, the first space and the second space form an acoustic channel, so that a compound sound wave is output from the opening.

6. The compression driver according to claim 5 , wherein the cone comprises a conical apex and a conical body, the plurality of fins is located on the conical body, and the conical apex is adjacent to the opening.

7. The compression driver according to claim 5 , wherein the first phase plug comprises a base brim extending outward in a horizontal direction from the base ring, and the base brim corresponds to the base, so that the base brim is connected to the base in a fitting manner.

8. The compression driver according to claim 6 , wherein the first phase plug comprises a base brim extending outward in a horizontal direction from the base ring, and the base brim corresponds to the base, so that the base brim is connected to the base in a fitting manner.

9. The compression driver according to claim 6 , wherein the second phase plug comprises a fixing portion extending partially around the base, and the fixing portion can be combined with the housing to fix the first phase plug between the second phase plug and the housing.

10. A speaker, comprising:

an exponential loudspeaker; and

the compression driver according to claim 5 wherein the compression driver is coupled to the exponential loudspeaker.
