Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a sound device a frame; a vibration system supported on the frame; a magnetic system with a magnetic gap supported on the frame; the vibration system includes a diaphragm assembly having a diaphragm and a coil inserted in the magnetic gap to drive the diaphragm for sound generation; the diaphragm assembly includes a diaphragm holder fixed to the frame and the diaphragm fixed to the diaphragm holder for sound generation; the diaphragm includes a first flat part having an opening, a folded ring part in the shape of a ring on the outside of the first flat part, and an attachment part on the outside of the folded ring part and fixedly connected to the diaphragm holder; the diaphragm assembly also includes a waterproof breathable film fixed to the first flat part, the first flat part includes a first inner edge away from the folded ring part; observed along the vibration direction, the first inner edge is located on the inner side of the coil, and an outer edge of the waterproof breathable film is located on the outer side of the coil. The sound device in the present disclosure has better waterproof performance.

Claims (16)

1. A sound device comprising:

a frame;

a vibration system supported on the frame;

a magnetic system with a magnetic gap supported on the frame;

the vibration system includes a diaphragm assembly having a diaphragm and a coil inserted in the magnetic gap to drive the diaphragm for sound generation;

the diaphragm assembly includes a diaphragm holder fixed to the frame and the diaphragm fixed to the diaphragm holder for sound generation;

the diaphragm includes a first flat part having an opening, a folded ring part in the shape of a ring on the outside of the first flat part, and an attachment part on the outside of the folded ring part and fixedly connected to the diaphragm holder;

the diaphragm assembly also includes a waterproof breathable film fixed to the first flat part, the first flat part includes a first inner edge away from the folded ring part; observed along the vibration direction, the first inner edge is located on the inner side of the coil, and an outer edge of the waterproof breathable film is located on the outer side of the coil.

2. The sound device as described in claim 1 , wherein the waterproof breathable film is fixed on the side of the first flat part near the magnetic system.

3. The sound device as described in claim 2 , wherein the diaphragm also includes a second flat part which is provided on the side of the first flat part near the magnetic system, and the second flat part is connected to the folded ring part and parallel to the first flat part, and the outer edge of the waterproof breathable film is sandwiched between the first flat part and the second flat part.

4. The sound device as described in claim 3 , wherein the magnetic system includes a main magnet and two secondary magnets provided on both sides of the main magnet along the short axis direction of the sound device, and the magnetic gap is formed between the secondary magnets and the main magnet, and the first flat part is partially overlapped with the main magnet and the secondary magnets when viewed along the vibration direction.

5. The sound device as described in claim 4 , wherein the magnetic system also includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp fixed to the frame, and the secondary magnet sandwiched between the upper clamp and the lower clamp.

6. The sound device as described in claim 5 , wherein the magnetic system also includes a pole, and the main magnet is sandwiched between the pole and the lower clamp.

7. The sound device as described in claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm assembly also includes a seal set on the outside of the diaphragm holder.

8. The sound device as described in claim 1 , wherein the direction of the curved concave of the folded ring part is in the direction close to the coil.

9. The sound device as described in claim 1 , wherein the waterproof breathable film includes a waterproof layer and a metal mesh layer, the waterproof layer is provided on the side of the metal mesh layer away from the magnetic system.
