Abstract

A sound producing apparatus includes an airflow generator configured to generate an airflow, a first resonance chamber and a second resonance chamber. The second resonance chamber is stacked on the first resonance chamber. A sound is produced via the airflow generated by the airflow generator passing through the first resonance chamber and the second resonance chamber.

Claims (62)

1 . A sound producing apparatus, comprising:

an air-pulse generating package, comprising an airflow generator configured to generate an airflow and a first covering structure;

a first resonance chamber and a second resonance chamber; and

a second covering structure, disposed on the air-pulse generating package;

wherein the second covering structure comprises a sealing structure and a covering layer;

wherein the second resonance chamber is stacked on the first resonance chamber;

wherein a sound is produced via the airflow generated by the airflow generator passing through the first resonance chamber and the second resonance chamber.

2 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the airflow generator comprises an air-pulse generating device, configured to produce a plurality of airflow pulses at an ultrasonic frequency;

wherein the airflow comprises the plurality of airflow pulses.

3 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the air-pulse generating device comprises a flap pair, the flap pair comprises a first flap and a second flap opposite to each other.

4 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 3 ,

wherein the flap pair performs a differential movement to form an opening at the ultrasonic frequency.

5 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 3 ,

wherein the flap pair performs a common mode movement and a differential movement;

wherein the air-pulse generating device produces the plurality of airflow pulses via the flap pair performing the common mode movement and the differential movement.

6 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 , comprising:

wherein the first resonance chamber is formed between the airflow generator and the first covering structure.

7 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the first covering structure comprises a plurality of first outlets formed on a top side of the first covering structure.

8 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 , comprising:

wherein the second resonance chamber is formed within the second covering structure.

9 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein a hollow cavity is formed within the sealing structure.

10 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 9 ,

wherein the covering layer covers the sealing structure;

wherein the second resonance chamber is formed between the covering layer, the sealing structure and the first covering structure because of the hollow cavity.

11 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 9 ,

wherein a diameter of the hollow cavity within the sealing structure is gradually narrow from the first covering structure to the covering layer.

12 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the sealing structure is a gasket.

13 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the covering layer comprises a plastic layer, a polymer layer or a polyester layer.

14 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the second covering structure comprises at least a second outlet formed on a top side of the second covering structure.

15 . The sound producing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the second resonance chamber is configured to enhance an acoustic impedance of the sound producing apparatus at the ultrasonic frequency.

16 . A wearable sound device, comprising:

a housing; and

a sound producing apparatus, comprising:
