Flat loudspeaker
View Patent ↗The flat loudspeaker including an enclosure in the form of a support frame, a sound-emitting rectangular membrane attached to the frame, and an electrodynamic vibration exciter located opposite the membrane. Besides, the vibration exciter is attached with one of its ends to the membrane within a special line passing along the plane of the rectangular membrane, emerging from any vertex of the rectangular membrane, and ending at a point on the opposite vertex of the membrane's horizontal side located at a distance of ⅔ of the membrane's opposite side from the top horizontally.
1. A flat loudspeaker comprising:
an enclosure having a support frame;
a rectangular membrane attached to the frame and having four corner and four sides;
a flanging around a perimeter of the rectangular membrane; and
at least one electrodynamic vibrations exciter having a moveable end to the membrane within a special line passing along a plane of the rectangular membrane, emerging from a first one of said corners of the rectangular membrane, and ending at a point on the membrane side opposite to the first one of said corners located at a distance of ⅔ between the corner opposite to the first one of said corners, and another one of the corners;
wherein the membrane comprises first and second surface layers adhered to respective first and second sides of a honeycomb filler, and a stabilizing impregnating solution based on polyurethane primers and varnishes covering the surface layers.
2. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 1 , further comprising acrylic polymer layers applied to the stabilizing impregnating solution based on polyurethane primers and varnishes covered surface layers.
3. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein the honeycomb filler is made of a material composed of at least one of paper, aramid fiber, aluminum, or other metal with a low specific density.
4. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane has a uniform stiffness in different directions of a longitudinal direction and transverse direction; and the ratio of the membrane's long side to the short side is 9/5.
5. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane has a nonuniform stiffness in different directions of a longitudinal direction and transverse direction; the ratio of the membrane's long side to its short side is 9·k/5, where k is the ratio of the membrane's stiffness in the longitudinal direction to the membrane's stiffness in the transverse direction.
6. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 1 , wherein the rectangular membrane is attached to the support frame by a foam tape placed around the membrane's perimeter.
7. A flat loudspeaker comprising:
an enclosure having a support frame;
a rectangular membrane attached to the frame and having four corner and four sides; and
at least one electrodynamic vibrations exciter having a moveable end to the membrane within a special line passing along a plane of the rectangular membrane, emerging from a first one of said corners of the rectangular membrane, and ending at a point on the membrane side opposite to the first one of said corners located at a distance of 2.13 between the corner opposite to the first one of said corners, and another one of the corners;
Wherein the membrane comprises first and second surface layers adhered to respective first and second sides of a honeycomb filler, and a stabilizing impregnating solution based on polyurethane primers and varnishes covering the surface layers, and
wherein the membrane has a nonuniform stiffness in different directions of a longitudinal direction and transverse direction; the ratio of the membrane's long side to its short side is 9·k/5, where k is the ratio of the membrane's stiffness in the longitudinal direction to the membrane's stiffness in the transverse direction.
8. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 7 , further comprising flanging around the rectangular membrane's perimeter.
9. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 7 , further comprising acrylic polymer layers applied to the stabilizing impregnating solution based on polyurethane primers and varnishes covered surface layers.
10. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 7 , wherein the honeycomb filler is made of a material composed of at least one of paper, aramid fiber, aluminum, or other metal with a low specific density.
11. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 7 , wherein the membrane has a uniform stiffness in different directions of a longitudinal direction and transverse direction; and the ratio of the membrane's long side to the short side is 9/5.
12. A flat loudspeaker according to claim 7 , wherein the rectangular membrane is attached to the support frame by a foam tape placed around the membrane's perimeter.
