Abstract

In various embodiments, a speaker module includes: an air adsorption member, and an electronic device includes the speaker module. The speaker module may include a yoke defining one surface of the speaker module, a magnet attached to the yoke through a first surface of the magnet, a plate attached to a second surface of the magnet, a frame providing a lateral surface of the speaker module and combined with the yoke at a first end of the frame, a voice coil disposed to be spaced apart from the magnet, and a diaphragm combined with the voice coil at an inner surface of the diaphragm. At least one of the yoke, the magnet, the plate, and the frame may include at least a portion of an air adsorption member comprising an air adsorption material configured to adsorb air in the speaker module based on the diaphragm vibrating.

Claims (41)

1. A speaker module comprising:

a yoke defining one surface of the speaker module;

a magnet attached to the yoke through a first surface of the magnet;

a plate attached to a second surface of the magnet;

a frame providing a lateral surface of the speaker module and combined with the yoke at a first end of the frame;

a voice coil disposed to be spaced apart from the magnet; and

a diaphragm combined with the voice coil at an inner surface of the diaphragm,

wherein at least one of the yoke, the magnet, the plate, and the frame includes at least a portion of an air adsorption member comprising an air adsorption material configured to adsorb air in a space formed between the yoke, the diaphragm and the frame based on the diaphragm vibrating and at least one surface of the air adsorption member is in contact with the air in the space.

2. The speaker module of claim 1 , wherein the air adsorption member is combined with at least a portion of the yoke, the magnet, the plate, and the frame.

3. The speaker module of claim 2 , wherein the air adsorption member has at least one surface in contact with the air.

4. The speaker module of claim 1 , wherein the air adsorption member comprises an air adsorption material applied to a sheet, and

wherein the air adsorption material has a molecular structure including particles and binders configured to perform positive and negative adsorptions of air.

5. The speaker module of claim 1 , wherein the air adsorption member is attached to an inner surface of the frame and the yoke without being contact with the voice coil.

6. The speaker module of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the air adsorption member is combined with an outer surface of the plate.

7. The speaker module of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the air adsorption member is included in at least a portion of the magnet and at least a portion of the plate.

8. The speaker module of claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm includes at least one convex portion, at least a portion of the plate includes the air adsorption member, and the air adsorption member includes at least one protrusion at a position corresponding to the at least one convex portion.

9. The speaker module of claim 1 , wherein the yoke includes a first hole and a second hole.

10. The speaker module of claim 9 , wherein the air adsorption member is combined with an upper surface of the yoke, the first hole, and the second hole.

11. The speaker module of claim 9 , wherein a first ventilation mesh is disposed over the first hole, and a second ventilation mesh is disposed over the second hole.

12. The speaker module of claim 11 , wherein the first ventilation mesh and the second ventilation mesh include the air adsorption member.

13. The speaker module of claim 11 , wherein a first space is provided between the first ventilation mesh and the diaphragm, a second space is provided between the second ventilation mesh and the diaphragm, and a third space is provided between the plate and the diaphragm.

14. The speaker module of claim 13 , wherein the air adsorption member is combined with at least a portion of the frame disposed in the first space and with at least a portion of the frame disposed in the second space.

15. An electronic device comprising:

a housing providing at least a part of a lateral surface of the electronic device; and

a speaker module accommodated in the housing,

wherein the speaker module includes:

a yoke defining one surface of the speaker module;

a magnet attached to the yoke through a first surface of the magnet;

a plate attached to a second surface of the magnet;

a frame providing a lateral surface of the speaker module and combined with the yoke at a first end of the frame;

a voice coil disposed to be spaced apart from the magnet; and

a diaphragm combined with the voice coil at an inner surface of the diaphragm,

wherein at least one of the yoke, the magnet, the plate, and the frame is combined with at least a portion of an air adsorption member comprising an air adsorption material configured to adsorb air in a space formed between the yoke, the diaphragm and the frame based on the diaphragm vibrating and at least one surface of the air adsorption member is in contact with the air in the space.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein at least a portion of the yoke, the magnet, the plate, and the frame includes at least a portion of the air adsorption member.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the air adsorption member has at least one surface in contact with the air.

18. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the air adsorption member comprises an air adsorption material applied to a sheet, and

wherein the air adsorption material has a molecular structure including particles and binders configured to perform positive and negative adsorptions of air.

19. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the yoke includes a first hole and a second hole,

wherein a first ventilation mesh is disposed over the first hole, and a second ventilation mesh is disposed over the second hole, and

wherein the first ventilation mesh and the second ventilation mesh include the air adsorption member.

20. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein at least a portion of the air adsorption member is included in at least a portion of the magnet and at least a portion of the plate.
