Abstract

The present invention provides a sounding device having a frame, a vibration system, a magnetic circuit system, a front cover, a waterproof sealing ring and a waterproof and breathable spacer. The front cover includes a front cover body, a first through hole and a second through hole running through the front cover body, and a support wall of the front cover body. The waterproof and breathable spacer is fixed to the front cover body and completely covers the second through hole, the second through hole connects the front sound cavity with the back cavity. Compared with the related art, the sounding device of the to present invention is easy to assemble, has good waterproof performance, high reliability, and excellent acoustic performance.

Claims (23)

1. A sounding device for an external terminal, including:

a frame;

a vibration system having a diaphragm fixed on the frame;

a magnetic circuit system for driving the vibration system to vibrate;

a front cover arranged on a side of the frame close to the vibration system;

a front sound cavity formed by the diaphragm and the front cover;

an inner cavity formed by the diaphragm, the frame, and the magnetic circuit system;

a waterproof sealing ring;

a waterproof and breathable spacer;

wherein

the front cover includes a front cover body covering and fixed on the frame, a first through hole connecting the front sound cavity to an outside, a second through hole penetrating the front cover body, and a support wall extending from the front cover body away from the diaphragm for forming a sound channel connecting with the first through hole;

the waterproof sealing ring is annular and fixed on an end of the support wall away from the diaphragm for connecting with the external terminal to form a sealing structure;

the sounding device and the external terminal are spaced apart and together form the back cavity; and

the waterproof and breathable spacer is fixed on the front cover body and completely covers the second through hole, the front sound cavity is connected with the back cavity by the second through hole.

2. The sounding device as described in claim 1 , wherein, the waterproof and breathable spacer is fixed on a side of the front cover body away from the diaphragm.

3. The sounding device as described in claim 1 , wherein, the front cover body includes a side wall fixed on the frame and extending along a vibration direction of the diaphragm, and a front cover board bent and extending from the end of the side wall away from the frame; the first through hole penetrates the front cover board, the support wall is formed by bending and extending the front cover board, the second through hole penetrates the side wall and/or the front cover board; the waterproof and breathable spacer is fixed to the side wall and/or the front cover board.

4. The sounding device as described in claim 1 , wherein, the waterproof and breathable spacer is fixed with the front cover body by sticking or integral injection molding.

5. The sounding device as described in claim 2 , wherein, the diaphragm includes a fixed part fixed on the frame, a suspension extending from a side of the fixed part away from the frame, a vibration part connected to the suspension, and a dome attached to the vibration part; the vibration part is provided with a third through hole completely covered by the dome.

6. The sounding device as described in claim 5 , wherein, along the vibration direction of the diaphragm, an orthographic projection of the second through hole to the diaphragm intersects with the third through hole.

7. The sounding device as described in claim 1 , wherein, the waterproof and breathable spacer is a waterproof and breathable membrane.

8. The sounding device as described in claim 1 including a plurality of the second through holes.

9. The sounding device as described in claim 1 , wherein, an outer surface of the front cover body is recessed to form a containment groove, and the waterproof and breathable spacer is located in the containment groove.

10. The sounding device as described in claim 1 , wherein, the magnetic circuit system includes a magnetic yoke fixed on the frame away from the diaphragm; the magnetic yoke is spaced from the frame to form the leak hole, and the inner cavity is connected with the back cavity through the leak hole.
