Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A method, comprising: providing a speaker including: a housing; a transducer residing inside the housing and configured to generate vibrations, the vibrations producing a sound wave inside the housing; and at least two sound guiding holes located on the housing and configured to guide the sound wave inside the housing through the at least two sound guiding holes to an outside of the housing, wherein the at least two sound guiding holes include a first sound guiding hole and a second sound guiding hole, the first sound guiding hole and the second sound guiding hole are located on different side walls of the housing, the guided sound waves of the first sound guiding hole and the second sound guiding hole have different phases, and wherein the first sound guiding hole or the second sound guiding hole includes a damping layer, the damping layer being configured to adjust the phase of the guided sound wave of the first sound guiding hole or the second sound guiding hole.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the housing includes a bottom or a sidewall; and

the at least two sound guiding hole are located on the bottom or the sidewall of the housing.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a specific side wall where no sound guiding hole is located, and a distance from the first sound guiding hole to the specific side wall of the housing is different from a distance from the second sound guiding hole to the specific side wall of the housing.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein locations of the at least two sound guiding holes are determined based on at least one of: a vibration frequency of the transducer, shapes of the at least two sound guiding holes, or a count of the at least two sound guiding holes.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the damping layer includes at least one of: a tuning paper, a tuning cotton, a nonwoven fabric, a silk, a cotton, a sponge, or a rubber.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a shape of at least one sound guiding hole of the at least two sound guiding holes includes circle, ellipse, quadrangle, rectangle, or linear.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the speaker further includes:

at least one acoustic route coupled to at least one sound guiding hole of the at least two sound guiding holes, wherein a guided sound wave of the at least one sound guiding hole is propagated to the at least one sound guiding hole along the acoustic route, and the at least one acoustic route is configured to adjust a frequency of the guided sound wave.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the acoustic route is configured to adjust a frequency of the guided sound wave by filtering sound waves in target frequencies.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the acoustic route includes one or more lumen structures.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the acoustic route includes one or more resonance cavities.

11. A speaker, comprising: a housing; a transducer residing inside the housing and configured to generate vibrations, the vibrations producing a sound wave inside the housing; and at least two sound guiding holes located on the housing and configured to guide the sound wave inside the housing through the at least two sound guiding holes to an outside of the housing, wherein the at least two sound guiding holes include a first sound guiding hole and a second sound guiding hole, the first sound guiding hole and the second sound guiding hole are located on different side walls of the housing, the guided sound waves of the first sound guiding hole and the second sound guiding hole have different phases, and wherein the first sound guiding hole or the second sound guiding hole includes a damping layer, the damping layer being configured to adjust the phase of the guided sound wave of the first sound guiding hole or the second sound guiding hole.

12. The speaker of claim 11 , wherein

the housing includes a bottom or a sidewall; and

the at least two sound guiding hole are located on the bottom or the sidewall of the housing.

13. The speaker of claim 11 , wherein the housing includes a specific side wall where no sound guiding hole is located, and a distance from the first sound guiding hole to the specific side wall of the housing is different from a distance from the second sound guiding hole to the specific side wall of the housing.

14. The speaker of claim 11 , wherein locations of the at least two sound guiding holes are determined based on at least one of: a vibration frequency of the transducer, shapes of the at least two sound guiding holes, or a count of the at least two sound guiding holes.

15. The speaker of claim 11 , further comprising:

at least one acoustic route coupled to at least one sound guiding hole of the at least two sound guiding holes, wherein a guided sound wave of the at least one sound guiding hole is propagated to the at least one sound guiding hole along the acoustic route, and the at least one acoustic route is configured to adjust a frequency of the guided sound wave.

16. The speaker of claim 15 , wherein the acoustic route is configured to adjust a frequency of the guided sound wave by filtering sound waves in target frequencies.

17. The speaker of claim 15 , wherein the acoustic route includes one or more lumen structures.

18. The speaker of claim 15 , wherein the acoustic route includes one or more resonance cavities.
