Abstract

An electronic device includes an enclosure defining a chamber and a first output port communicating the chamber with outside of the enclosure; a loudspeaker module disposed within the chamber. The loudspeaker module includes a first front cavity in communication with the first output port, a second front cavity acoustically connected with an inside space of the enclosure, a rear cavity, a transducer disposed between the first front cavity and the rear cavity, and a first passive radiator disposed between the second front cavity and the rear cavity. The passive radiator is capable of radiating low-frequency sound to the inside space of the enclosure via the second front cavity and an inside port or a second passive radiator. Then, the low-frequency sound re-radiates through surfaces of the enclosure and possible leaks in the enclosure to the outside environment. The low-frequency output is boosted.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic device comprising:

an enclosure defining a chamber and a first output port communicating the chamber with outside of the enclosure; and

a loudspeaker module disposed within the chamber, the loudspeaker module comprising a first front cavity in communication with the first output port, a second front cavity, a rear cavity, a transducer disposed between the first front cavity and the rear cavity, and a first passive radiator disposed between the second front cavity and the rear cavity;

wherein the second front cavity is acoustically connected to the outside of the enclosure or an inside space of the enclosure such that the first passive radiator is capable of radiating low-frequency sound to the outside of the enclosure or the inside space of the enclosure via the second front cavity.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure further comprises a second output port communicating the second front cavity with the outside of the enclosure such that the first passive radiator is capable of radiating low-frequency sound to the outside of the enclosure via the second front cavity and the second output port.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the loudspeaker further comprises an inside port communicating the second front cavity with the inside space such that the first passive radiator is capable of radiating low-frequency sound to the inside space of the enclosure via the second front cavity and the inside port.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the enclosure further comprises an extension channel connected to the inside port such that the first passive radiator is capable of radiating low-frequency sound to the inside space of the enclosure via the second front cavity, the inside port and the extension channel.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the extension channel is formed by a hollow tube/duct/pipe.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the loudspeaker module further comprises a second passive radiator disposed between the second front cavity and the inside space of the enclosure such that low-frequency sound can be radiated to the inside space of the enclosure by the first passive radiator, the second front cavity and the second passive radiator.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the first and second passive radiators are vibratable diaphragms which are disposed at opposite sides of the second front cavity respectively.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is portable.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a mobile phone or a tablet or a PAD.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first passive radiator is a vibratable diaphragm.

11. A loudspeaker module comprising a first front cavity unsealed at a first side of the loudspeaker module, a second front cavity, a rear cavity, a transducer disposed between the first front cavity and the rear cavity, and a first passive radiator disposed between the second front cavity and the rear cavity.

12. The loudspeaker module of claim 11 , wherein the second front cavity is unsealed at the first side of the loudspeaker module.

13. The loudspeaker module of claim 11 , wherein the second front cavity is unsealed at a second side of the loudspeaker module which is opposite to the first side of the loudspeaker module.

14. The loudspeaker module of claim 11 , further comprising a second passive radiator, wherein the first passive radiator and second passive radiators are vibratable diaphragms disposed at opposite sides of the second front cavity respectively.

15. The loudspeaker module of claim 11 , wherein the first passive radiator is a vibratable diaphragm.
