Abstract

A speaker includes a sound box, a speaker module, and a heat pipe. The sound box includes a first opening and a second opening. The speaker module is hermetically connected to the first opening. The heat pipe is hermetically connected to the second opening. The heat pipe includes a first end and a second end. The first end is located in the sound box. The second end is exposed to the second opening. The speaker module is fixedly connected to at least part of an outer wall of the heat pipe. In the speaker, a hollow heat pipe is fixedly connected to the speaker module, and vibration of the speaker module drives air in the heat pipe to flow to dissipate heat from the heat pipe. Further, the cold heat pipe carries heat away from the speaker module through heat transfer, thereby dissipating heat from the speaker.

Claims (9)

1. A speaker, comprising:

a sound box, comprising a first opening and a second opening;

a speaker module, hermetically connected to the first opening; and

a heat pipe, hermetically connected to the second opening and comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is located in the sound box, and the second end is exposed to the second opening, wherein the speaker module is fixedly connected to at least part of an outer wall of the heat pipe;

wherein the heat pipe comprises a U-shaped structure, the U-shaped structure extends along an outer wall of the speaker module and is in contact with at least two sides of the outer wall of the speaker module.

2. The speaker according to claim 1 , further comprising: a thermal conductivity layer, disposed between the heat pipe and the speaker module, wherein the heat pipe is fixedly connected to the speaker module through the thermal conductivity layer.

3. The speaker according to claim 2 , wherein the thermal conductivity layer comprises a thermal grease, a heat patch, or a heat dissipation kit.

4. The speaker according to claim 2 , wherein the heat pipe at least partially sinks into the thermal conductivity layer.

5. The speaker according to claim 1 , further comprising: a support, connected between the heat pipe and the sound box.
