Abstract

A speaker device for a vehicle having a structure in which a seating direction and a magnetic path forming direction of a magnet coincide with each other, may include a frame, a magnet mounted in the frame to generate a magnetic flux, a yoke having a magnetic gap to form a magnetic path generated by the magnet, a voice coil mounted in the magnetic gap to move when a current is applied, a diaphragm engaged to the voice coil and configured to vibrate according to movement of the voice coil and generate a negative pressure, and a plate configured to support the magnet, wherein the magnet is accommodated in a horizontal direction such a seating direction and a magnetic path forming direction of the magnet coincide with each other.

Claims (30)

1. A speaker device for a vehicle, the speaker device comprising:

a frame;

a magnet mounted in the frame to generate a magnetic flux;

a yoke having a magnetic gap to form a magnetic path generated by the magnet;

a voice coil mounted in the magnetic gap to move when a current is applied to the voice coil;

a diaphragm engaged to the voice coil and configured to vibrate according to movement of the voice coil and generate a negative pressure;

a first plate configured to support the magnet;

a second plate; and

a bobbin disposed on a surface of the second plate and onto which the voice coil is mounted, the diaphragm engaged to the bobbin,

wherein the magnet is accommodated in a horizontal direction such that a seating direction and a magnetic path forming direction of the magnet coincide with each other,

wherein the first plate includes a first plate portion and a second plate portion extending downwardly from the first plate portion,

wherein the second plate portion is formed to have a width wider than a width of the first plate portion,

wherein the magnetic gap is formed between the bobbin and the second plate, and

wherein the first plate configured to support the magnet is mounted between the magnet and the bobbin.

2. The speaker device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the magnet is disposed on a same line as the magnetic path forming direction.

3. The speaker device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a spacer is provided between a lower portion of the first plate and a portion of the second plate to prevent leakage magnetic flux.

4. The speaker device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the spacer is formed of a non-magnetic material.

5. The speaker device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first plate is formed of an L shape.

6. The speaker device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a spacer is provided at a lower portion of the magnet and the first plate to prevent leakage magnetic flux.

7. The speaker device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the spacer is formed of a non-magnetic material.

8. The speaker device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first plate is provided to be injection-molded integrally with the frame.

9. The speaker device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the first plate is formed in a shape of ‘r’ to be injection-molded integrally with at least a portion of the frame.
