Abstract

The present invention discloses a micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, including an outer casing which is provided with an accommodation space and a sound hole, and a micro speaker which is installed in the accommodation space. The micro speaker is assembled from a vibrating diaphragm assembly and a magnetic assembly which is inter-assembled with the vibrating diaphragm assembly. The vibrating diaphragm assembly separates the accommodation space into a front chamber and a rear chamber which are not interconnected; whereas, the front chamber is connected with the sound hole. Therefore, water vapor outside the micro speaker unit can be prevented from entering into the rear chamber and the micro speaker by the vibrating diaphragm assembly, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the entire micro speaker unit.

Claims (13)

1. A micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, comprising:

an outer casing, with an interior of the outer casing being provided with an accommodation space, and a side of the outer casing being formed with sound holes which are interconnected with the accommodation space; and

a micro speaker, with the micro speaker being installed in the accommodation space to separate the accommodation space into a front chamber which is connected with the sound holes, as well as a rear chamber which is isolated from the front chamber;

wherein, the micro speaker is assembled from a vibrating diaphragm assembly which separates the accommodation space into the front chamber and the rear chamber, and a magnetic assembly which is disposed in the rear chamber and is inter-assembled with the vibrating diaphragm assembly, with the vibrating diaphragm assembly being installed at an end of the magnetic assembly, and including a vibrating diaphragm which is exposed in the front chamber, a frame which surrounds the vibrating diaphragm, and an elastic connector which is formed among the vibrating diaphragm, the frame and the outer casing; with the elastic connector being provided with an elastic supporting member which is disposed between the vibrating diaphragm and the frame, an elastic latching member which is disposed between the frame and a first casing, and a connecting member which is connected between the elastic supporting member and the elastic latching member; and with the elastic latching member and the connecting member being tightly attached with the outer casing respectively, which separates the accommodation space into the front chamber and the rear chamber through the connecting member and the elastic latching member, thereby forming a non-connected state between the front chamber and the rear chamber.

2. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic connector on the vibrating diaphragm assembly is integrally formed on the vibrating diaphragm and the frame with a silicon material by injection molding.

3. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting member of the elastic connector further surrounds a top of the frame and is formed with plural notches, allowing part of the frame to be exposed in the front chamber through the notches.

4. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 3 , wherein the connecting member is further protruded on a surface of the frame facing toward the front chamber.

5. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic latching member is further disposed at an angle relative to the connecting member, and the outer diameter of the elastic latching member is larger than that of the frame.

6. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 2 , wherein the vibrating diaphragm assembly further includes a voice coil that is connected with the vibrating diaphragm and is extended toward the magnetic assembly.

7. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 6 , wherein the magnetic assembly includes a magnet that is disposed in the voice coil, a U-core that supports the magnet, and a seat that surrounds the U-core; with the voice coil being disposed between the magnet and the U-core, such that the voice coil drives the vibrating diaphragm to generate amplitude in the front chamber, after being excited.

8. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 7 , wherein the seat is interconnected with the frame.

9. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 1 , wherein the outer casing is further assembled from a first casing and a second casing which is inter-assembled with the first casing to form the accommodation space, the sound holes are disposed on a side of the first casing, the front chamber is formed after the vibrating diaphragm assembly is assembled in the first casing, and the magnetic assembly is disposed in the rear chamber.

10. The micro speaker unit with a waterproof effect, according to claim 9 , wherein the diameter of the front chamber is smaller than that of the rear chamber.
