Voice coil insertion jig, speaker producing method using the jig, and speaker produced by using the jig
A method of manufacturing a speaker using a voice coil insertion jig including providing a voice coil insertion jig, deforming a plurality of moving pieces from a first position elastically toward a central boss side to a second position, inserting the voice coil insertion jig into a voice coil, and restoring the plurality of moving pieces to the first position and holding the voice coil using the plurality of moving pieces. Moreover, the method includes inserting the voice coil insertion jig into a magnetic gap forming a magnetic circuit of the speaker, adhering an inner circumference of a diaphragm of the speaker to the voice coil, adhering an outer circumference of the diaphragm to a frame of the speaker, and deforming the plurality of moving pieces elastically from the first position from toward the center boss side to the second position and extracting the voice coil insertion jig from the magnetic gap.
1. A method of manufacturing a speaker using a voice coil insertion jig, said method comprising:
providing the voice coil insertion jig, the voice coil insertion jig including a cylindrically-shaped base, a hollow cylindrical insertion part provided integrally on a lower surface of the base, a plurality of movable pieces provided integrally and perpendicularly on an outer circumference of an upper surface of the base such that a slit is between each of the plurality of movable pieces, an outside diameter defined by the plurality of movable pieces that is larger than an outside diameter of the insertion part, and a central boss provided above a center of the upper surface of the base that is separate from the movable pieces;
deforming the plurality of movable pieces elastically toward the central boss, and inserting the voice coil insertion jig into a voice coil;
causing the plurality of movable pieces to elastically contact with and hold the voice coil with the voice coil insertion jig;
inserting the voice coil insertion jig holding the voice coil into a magnetic gap forming a magnetic circuit of the speaker;
adhering an inner circumference of a diaphragm of the speaker to the voice coil, and adhering an outer circumference of the diaphragm to a frame of the speaker; and
deforming the plurality of movable pieces elastically toward the central boss, and extracting the voice coil insertion jig from the voice coil.
