Abstract

An audio output device is provided. The audio output device includes a speaker, a case surrounding the speaker and including a first opening connected to the resonance space within the case, a plurality of air adsorbents disposed within the speaker, an adhesive member disposed on the first opening and including a second opening overlapping the first opening, and a mesh layer disposed on the adhesive member and covering the second opening. A diameter of the first opening is larger than a diameter of each of the plurality of air adsorbents, and a diameter of the second opening is smaller than the diameter of the first opening.

Claims (50)

1. An audio output device comprising:

a speaker;

a case surrounding the speaker and including a resonance space S in the case and a first opening connected to the resonance space S;

a plurality of air adsorbents disposed within the speaker;

an adhesive member disposed on the first opening and including a second opening overlapping the first opening; and

a mesh layer disposed on the adhesive member and covering the second opening,

wherein a diameter of the first opening is larger than a diameter of each of the plurality of air adsorbents, and

wherein a diameter of the second opening is smaller than the diameter of the first opening.

2. The audio output device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the case includes a seating surface along an edge of the first opening on which the adhesive member is seated.

3. The audio output device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the case includes a stepped portion disposed along a portion of an edge of the adhesive member.

4. The audio output device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the stepped portion extends from a side surface of the case to another side surface opposite to the side surface, and

wherein the stepped portion includes a region concavely extending along the edge of the adhesive member.

5. The audio output device according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the second opening is smaller than a diameter of each of the plurality of air adsorbents.

6. The audio output device according to claim 1 , wherein the resonance space is surrounded with the case and a surface of the speaker opposite a surface from which an audio signal is emitted.

7. The audio output device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the diameter of the first opening is 1.2 mm to 1.7 mm, and

wherein the diameter of the second opening is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a speaker hole disposed on a side surface; and

a speaker module in the housing, the speaker module including:

a speaker,

a case surrounding the speaker and including a resonance space in the case and a first opening connected to the resonance space,

a plurality of air adsorbents disposed within the speaker,

an adhesive member disposed on the first opening and including a second opening overlapping the first opening,

a mesh layer disposed on the adhesive member and covering the second opening, and

an audio duct configured to transmit an audio signal from the speaker module through the speaker hole,

wherein a diameter of the first opening is larger than a diameter of each of the plurality of air adsorbents, and

wherein a diameter of the second opening is smaller than the diameter of the first opening.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein a surface of the case includes a seating surface along an edge of the first opening on which the adhesive member is seated.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein a surface of the case includes a stepped portion disposed along a portion of an edge of the adhesive member.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the stepped portion extends from a side surface of the case to another side surface opposite to the side surface, and

wherein the stepped portion includes a region concavely extending along the edge of the adhesive member.

12. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein a diameter of the second opening is smaller than a diameter of each of the plurality of air adsorbents.

13. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the resonance space is surrounded with the case and a surface of the speaker opposite to a surface from which an audio signal is emitted.

14. The electronic device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the adhesive member includes a double-sided tape,

wherein a surface of the adhesive member is attached to a surface of the case, and

wherein another surface of the adhesive member is attached to the mesh layer.

15. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the resonance space is configured to provide resonance of the audio signal of a designated band emitted from the speaker.

16. The electronic device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the diameter of the first opening is 1.2 mm to 1.7 mm, and

wherein the diameter of the second opening is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm.

17. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the second opening is configured to adjust a pressure inside the case by flowing an air inside the case and an air outside the case.

18. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein a diameter of the first opening is larger than a diameter of each of the plurality of air adsorbents.

19. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the case further comprises:

a first enclosure, and

a second enclosure coupled to the first enclosure so as to provide a space in which the speaker is seated.

20. The electronic device according to claim 19 , wherein the resonance space is a space formed between a rear surface of the speaker and the second enclosure.
