Abstract

An electronic device including a speaker with a porous sheet, a speaker is provided. The electronic device includes a main body, a sound generator, which includes a voice coil, a sound body surrounding the voice coil, and a terminal that is at least partially exposed to an outside of the sound body, a printed circuit board (PCB) connected to the terminal and extending outwardly from the main body, and a porous sheet inserted into the main body and spaced apart from the terminal.

Claims (70)

1. An electronic device including a speaker with a porous sheet, wherein the speaker comprises:

a main body;

a sound generator comprising:

a voice coil,

a sound body surrounding the voice coil, and

a terminal that is at least partially exposed to an outside of the sound body;

a printed circuit board (PCB) connected to the terminal and extending outwardly from the main body; and

a porous sheet inserted into the main body and spaced apart from the terminal.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the speaker further comprises a non-conductive part disposed between the PCB and the porous sheet.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the PCB comprises:

a contact part connected to the terminal; and

an extension part extending from the contact part.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 ,

wherein the non-conductive part is disposed on the contact part, and

wherein the non-conductive part is configured to attach the porous sheet and the contact part.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 ,

wherein the non-conductive part is disposed on the sound body, and

wherein at least a portion of the non-conductive part covers the contact part.

6. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the non-conductive part comprises:

a non-conductive body disposed on the sound body; and

a protrusion formed to protrude from one end portion of the non-conductive body toward the contact part.

7. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the non-conductive part is a coating layer applied onto one surface of the PCB.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the sound body comprises a body groove formed to be recessed from a surface of the sound body facing the porous sheet, and

wherein the body groove is configured to support the terminal.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is disposed at an opposite side of the porous sheet with respect to a surface of the sound body facing the porous sheet.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises:

a base plate; and

an outer wall formed to protrude from the base plate and surround the porous sheet.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the main body further comprises:

a main hole formed to penetrate the base plate, the main hole configured to expose at least a portion of the sound body to the outside; and

a terminal hole formed to penetrate the base plate, the terminal hole configured to expose the terminal to the outside.

12. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the porous sheet is provided at a position spaced apart from the terminal in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the porous sheet is inserted into the main body.

13. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the main body further comprises a fixing rod formed to protrude from the base plate and penetrate the porous sheet.

14. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the speaker further comprises a plurality of porous capsules configured to fill a space between the porous sheet and the outer wall and provided on an opposite side of the sound generator with respect to the porous sheet.

15. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the speaker further comprises an antenna pattern spaced apart from the porous sheet in a direction crossing a direction in which the porous sheet is inserted into the main body.

16. A speaker with a porous sheet, the speaker comprising:

a main body;

a sound generator comprising:

a voice coil,

a sound body surrounding the voice coil, and

a terminal that is at least partially exposed to an outside of the sound body;

a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a contact part connected to the terminal, and an extension part extending from the contact part;

a porous sheet inserted into the main body;

a cover connected to the main body, the cover configured to cover the porous sheet; and

a non-conductive part disposed between the PCB and the porous sheet.

17. The speaker of claim 16 ,

wherein the non-conductive part is disposed on the contact part, and

wherein the non-conductive part is configured to attach the porous sheet and the contact part.

18. The speaker of claim 16 ,

wherein the non-conductive part is disposed on the sound body, and

wherein at least a portion of the non-conductive part covers the contact part.

19. The speaker of claim 16 , further comprising:

an electronic element provided at a position spaced apart from the sound generator and connected to the PCB,

wherein the non-conductive part is disposed between the porous sheet and a connection portion of the electronic element and the PCB.

20. An electronic device including a speaker with a porous sheet, wherein the speaker comprises:

a main body comprising a base plate, and an outer wall formed to protrude from the base plate;

a sound generator comprising:

a voice coil,

a sound body surrounding the voice coil, and

a terminal that is at least partially exposed to an outside of the sound body;

a printed circuit board (PCB) connected to the terminal and extending outwardly from the main body;

a porous sheet inserted into the main body and surrounded by the outer wall;

a cover connected to the main body and configured to cover the porous sheet; and

a non-conductive part disposed between the PCB and the porous sheet, and the non-conductive part configured to block a contact between the PCB and the porous sheet.

21. The electronic device of claim 20 , wherein the porous sheet is configured to adsorb at least a portion of the air of an inner space of the speaker.

22. The electronic device of claim 21 ,

wherein the porous sheet includes an air adsorption material, and

wherein the air adsorption material is an activated carbon-based material having a specific surface area of 1500 m2/g or greater.

23. The electronic device of claim 22 , wherein the porous sheet has a shape corresponding to an inner shape of the outer wall.
