Abstract

A speaker includes a terminal assembly. The speaker includes a magnetic circuit system and a voice coil, and two leads are extended into the voice coil. The terminal assembly is located at a shaft hollow portion of the magnetic circuit system, and the terminal assembly includes a first part, a second part, and two wires. The first part has a T shape, and a T-shaped top portion is attached to an upper plate of the speaker. An upper portion of the second part is correspondingly engaged with a lower portion of the first part. The two wires pass through the first part and the second part, and the two leads are respectively connected to the two wires on the top portion of the first part.

Claims (36)

1. A terminal assembly used for a speaker having two leads extended from a voice coil, wherein the terminal assembly is located at a shaft hollow portion of a magnetic circuit system, the terminal assembly comprising:

a first part having a T shape, wherein a top portion of the first part is configured to be attached to an upper plate of the speaker;

a second part, wherein an upper portion of the second part is correspondingly engaged with a lower portion of the first part; and

two wires passing through the first part and the second part, wherein the two leads are respectively connected to the two wires on the top portion of the first part.

2. The terminal assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal assembly comprises a metal ring,

wherein the upper portion of the second part comprises a groove corresponding to the metal ring such that the metal ring is embedded into the groove, and

wherein, when the first part is combined with the second part, the first part and the second part are drawn to each other by magnetic attraction.

3. The terminal assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the terminal assembly comprises a first metal ring,

wherein the lower portion of the first part comprises a first groove corresponding to the first metal ring such that the first metal ring is embedded into the first groove, and

wherein, when the first part is combined with the second part, the first metal ring and the metal ring contact with each other and a magnetic attraction is generated between the first metal ring and the metal ring.

4. A speaker, comprising:

a magnetic circuit system, having a shaft hollow portion, the magnetic circuit system comprising:

an upper plate;

a yoke; and

a magnetic gap provided between the upper plate and the yoke;

a voice coil located in the magnetic gap, wherein two leads are extended from the voice coil; and

the terminal assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein the terminal assembly is located at the shaft hollow portion.

5. A terminal assembly used for a speaker having two leads extended from a voice coil, wherein the terminal assembly is located at a shaft hollow portion of a magnetic circuit system, the terminal assembly comprising:

a first part having a T shape, wherein a top portion of the first part is configured to be attached to an upper plate of the speaker, and the two leads pass through the first part;

a second part, wherein an upper portion of the second part is correspondingly engaged with a lower portion of the first part; and

two wires passing through the second part, wherein the two leads are respectively connected to the two wires at a bottom portion of the first part.

6. The terminal assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first part comprises at least one air channel, the second part comprises at least one air channel, and when the first part is combined with the second part, the air channels of the first part and the second part are in communication with each other.

7. A terminal assembly for a speaker, wherein the speaker comprises two leads extended from a voice coil, the terminal assembly being located at a shaft hollow portion of a magnetic circuit system, the terminal assembly comprising:

a first part having a T shape, wherein a top portion of the first part is configured to be attached to an upper plate of the speaker;

a second part, wherein an upper portion of the second part is correspondingly engaged with a lower portion of the first part;

two metal sheets, embedded into the upper portion of the second part, and the two leads are respectively connected to upper edges of the two metal sheets; and

two wires passing through out of the second part respectively from lower edges of the two metal sheets.

8. The terminal assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the first part comprises at least one air channel, the second part comprises at least one air channel, and when the first part is combined with the second part, the air channels of the first part and the second part are in communication with each other.

9. A terminal assembly for a speaker comprising two leads extended from a voice coil, the terminal assembly being located at a shaft hollow portion of a magnetic circuit system, the terminal assembly comprising:

a first part having a T shape, wherein a top portion of the first part is configured to be attached to an upper plate of the speaker;

a second part, wherein an upper portion of the second part is correspondingly engaged with a lower portion of the first part;

two first metal sheets embedded into the lower portion of the first part, wherein the two leads are respectively connected to upper edges of the two first metal sheets;

two second metal sheets embedded into the upper portion of the second part; and

two wires passing out of the second part respectively from lower edges of the two second metal sheets,

wherein when the first part is combined with the second part, the two first metal sheets and the two second metal sheets get in contact with each other, and a magnetic attraction is generated between the two first metal sheets and the two second metal sheets.
