Abstract

A speaker device is provided. The speaker device includes a casing and an acoustic driver disposed in the casing. The casing defines a sound output port for outputting sound, and the sound output port of the casing is partially covered, enabling a reduction in an airflow velocity in the sound output port. A terminal including the speaker device is also provided.

Claims (28)

1. A speaker device, comprising:

a casing defining a sound output port for outputting sound, the sound output port of the casing being partially covered, enabling a reduction in an airflow velocity in the sound output port; and

an airflow cushion member disposed in the middle of the sound output port of the casing, wherein the airflow cushion member and the casing are integrally formed.

2. The speaker device of claim 1 , wherein the sound output port has two opposite first edges and two opposite second edges, wherein the two first edges are parallel to a bottom of the casing and each of the two second edges is connected between the two first edges, wherein the sound output port has a middle area along an extension direction of the two first edges, wherein the middle area is covered and is located in the middle of the sound output port.

3. The speaker device of claim 2 , wherein the airflow cushion member merely covers the middle area of the sound output port.

4. The speaker device of claim 1 , wherein the airflow cushion member comprises at least one strip-shaped rib, wherein the at least one strip-shaped rib is connected across two first edges.

5. The speaker device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one strip-shaped rib is embodied as one strip-shaped rib.

6. The speaker device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one strip-shaped rib is embodied as a plurality of strip-shaped ribs, wherein the plurality of strip-shaped ribs are centrally disposed in a middle area of the sound output port, and adjacent strip-shaped ribs are spaced apart from each other.

7. The speaker device of claim 1 , wherein the airflow cushion member comprises at least one serration portion, wherein the at least one serration portion is formed on both of two first edges of the sound output port or formed on one of the two first edges of the sound output port.

8. The speaker device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one serration portion is embodied as two serration portions, wherein one of the two serration portions is formed on one of the two first edges of the sound output port, the other of the two serration portions is formed on the other of the two first edges of the sound output port, and the two serration portions face each other and are spaced apart from each other.

9. The speaker device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one serration portion is embodied as two serration portions, wherein one of the two serration portions is formed on one of the two first edges of the sound output port, the other of the two serration portions is formed on the other of the two first edges of the sound output port, and the two serration portions are coupled together.

10. A terminal, comprising:

a speaker device comprising:

a casing defining a sound output port; and

an airflow cushion member, wherein the airflow cushion member and the casing are integrally formed;

the airflow cushion member being disposed in the middle of the sound output port of the casing to partially cover the sound output port of the casing, enabling a reduction in an airflow velocity in the sound output port.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the sound output port has two opposite first edges and two opposite second edges, wherein the two first edges are parallel to a bottom of the casing and each of the two second edges is connected between the two first edges, wherein the sound output port has a middle area along an extension direction of the two first edges, wherein the middle area is covered and is located in the middle of the sound output port.

12. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the airflow cushion member comprises at least one strip-shaped rib, wherein the at least one strip-shaped rib is connected across two first edges.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the at least one strip-shaped rib is embodied as one strip-shaped rib or a plurality of strip-shaped ribs, wherein the plurality of strip-shaped ribs are centrally disposed in a middle area of the sound output port, and adjacent strip-shaped ribs are spaced apart from each other.

14. A speaker device, comprising:

a casing defining a sound output port for outputting sound, the sound output port of the casing being partially covered, enabling a reduction in an airflow velocity in the sound output port; and

an airflow cushion member disposed in the middle of the sound output port of the casing, wherein the airflow cushion member is formed at a position of a housing directly facing the sound output port, wherein the housing is a front shell or a middle frame of a terminal, and the airflow cushion member comprises a strip-shaped rib protruding from the position of the housing aligned with the middle of the sound output port, wherein the housing is attached to the casing, and the strip-shaped rib on the housing is inserted in the middle of the sound output port or abuts against edges of the middle of the sound output port to partially cover the sound output port.

15. The speaker device of claim 14 , wherein the sound output port has two opposite first edges and two opposite second edges, wherein the two first edges are parallel to a bottom of the casing and each of the two second edges is connected between the two first edges, wherein the sound output port has a middle area along an extension direction of the two first edges, wherein the middle area is covered and is located in the middle of the sound output port.

16. The speaker device of claim 15 , wherein the airflow cushion member merely covers the middle area of the sound output port.

17. The speaker device of claim 14 , wherein the strip-shaped rib is connected across two first edges.

18. The speaker device of claim 14 , wherein the airflow cushion member comprises a plurality of strip-shaped ribs, wherein the plurality of strip-shaped ribs are centrally disposed in a middle area of the sound output port, and adjacent strip-shaped ribs are spaced apart from each other.

19. The speaker device of claim 14 , wherein the airflow cushion member comprises at least one serration portion, wherein the at least one serration portion is formed on both of two first edges of the sound output port or formed on one of the two first edges of the sound output port.

20. The speaker device of claim 19 , wherein the at least one serration portion is embodied as two serration portions, wherein one of the two serration portions is formed on one of the two first edges of the sound output port, the other of the two serration portions is formed on the other of the two first edges of the sound output port, and the two serration portions face each other and are spaced apart from each other.
