Abstract

According to the present invention, in a speaker device including a microphone, sound propagating from a speaker unit to the microphone through a housing is effectively reduced, and noise picked up by the microphone is reduced. The speaker device includes the housing configured to support the speaker unit, and a film-shaped elastic body configured to support the microphone. The housing includes a holding portion configured to hold the elastic body with a distance from the microphone. The elastic body has a through-hole, a support portion on which the microphone is supported is provided around the through-hole on one side of the elastic body, and the elastic body is, at an outer peripheral portion separated from the support portion, held at the holding portion.

Claims (59)

1. A speaker device comprising:

a housing configured to support a speaker unit; and

a film-shaped elastic body configured to support a microphone by holding the microphone, wherein

the housing includes a holding portion configured to hold the elastic body with a distance from the microphone, and

the holding portion is configured to hold the elastic body with the distance from the microphone such that both the elastic body and the microphone held by the elastic body are vibratable in a direction perpendicular to a film.

2. The speaker device according to claim 1 , wherein

the film-shaped elastic body is vibratable in a direction perpendicular to a film.

3. The speaker device according to claim 1 , wherein

the elastic body has a through-hole,

a support portion on which the microphone is supported is provided around the through-hole on one side of the elastic body, and

the elastic body is, at an outer peripheral portion separated from the support portion, held at the holding portion.

4. The speaker device according to claim 3 , wherein

the support portion is provided at a thin portion of the elastic body.

5. The speaker device according to claim 3 , wherein

the through-hole is configured such that an outer hole diameter is greater than a hole diameter on a side provided with the support portion.

6. The speaker device according to claim 3 , wherein

the microphone is supported at the elastic body through a substrate, and

the substrate has an opening facing the microphone and overlapping with the through-hole.

7. The speaker device according to claim 6 , wherein

the opening has such an inclined inner surface that a diameter on a through-hole side is greater.

8. The speaker device according to claim 1 , wherein

the holding portion is formed in such a recessed shape that the elastic body is housed.

9. The speaker device according to claim 1 , wherein

the elastic body forms part of an outer surface of the housing.

10. A speaker device comprising:

a housing configured to support a speaker unit; and

a film-shaped elastic body configured to support a microphone, wherein

the housing includes a holding portion configured to hold the elastic body with a distance from the microphone, and

the elastic body

includes, at an outer peripheral edge thereof, a raised portion protruding toward an inner surface of the holding portion, and

includes a groove portion at the outer peripheral portion near the outer peripheral edge.

11. The speaker device according to claim 10 , wherein

the film-shaped elastic body is vibratable in a direction perpendicular to a film.

12. The speaker device according to claim 10 , wherein

the elastic body has a through-hole,

a support portion on which the microphone is supported is provided around the through-hole on one side of the elastic body, and

the elastic body is, at an outer peripheral portion separated from the support portion, held at the holding portion.

13. The speaker device according to claim 12 , wherein

the support portion is provided at a thin portion of the elastic body.

14. The speaker device according to claim 12 , wherein

the through-hole is configured such that an outer hole diameter is greater than a hole diameter on a side provided with the support portion.

15. The speaker device according to claim 12 , wherein

the microphone is supported at the elastic body through a substrate, and

the substrate has an opening facing the microphone and overlapping with the through-hole.

16. A speaker device comprising:

a housing configured to support a speaker unit; and

a film-shaped elastic body configured to support a microphone, wherein

the housing includes a holding portion configured to hold the elastic body with a distance from the microphone,

a contact portion configured to limit elastic depression of the elastic body is provided at the holding portion.

17. The speaker device according to claim 16 , wherein

the film-shaped elastic body is vibratable in a direction perpendicular to a film.

18. The speaker device according to claim 16 , wherein

the elastic body has a through-hole,

a support portion on which the microphone is supported is provided around the through-hole on one side of the elastic body, and

the elastic body is, at an outer peripheral portion separated from the support portion, held at the holding portion.

19. The speaker device according to claim 18 , wherein

the support portion is provided at a thin portion of the elastic body.

20. The speaker device according to claim 18 , wherein

the through-hole is configured such that an outer hole diameter is greater than a hole diameter on a side provided with the support portion.
