Diaphragm and loudspeaker using same
A diaphragm has a through-hole for fixing a voice coil at its center part, and has a fixing part of an edge at its outer periphery which is substantially circular. The shape of the outer periphery of diaphragm is formed as follows: a first circle and a second circle overlap each other with their center points displaced in such a manner that at least one part of an outer periphery of the first circle and the second circle forms a part of the substantially circular outer periphery of the entire shape. Using this structure, signal reproduction characteristics can significantly be flattened by reducing the resonance level.
1. A conical type diaphragm for a loudspeaker comprising:
an outer peripheral shape defined by a first circle overlapping a second circle,
wherein the first circle has a first center point and a first radius, and the second circle has a second center point different from the first center point and a second radius different from the first radius,
wherein the outer peripheral shape of the diaphragm is substantially circular, and the first circle and the second circle overlap each other with their center points positioned such that at least one part of an outer periphery of the first circle and at least one part of an outer periphery of the second circle form a part of the substantially circular outer peripheral shape.
2. The conical type diaphragm for the loudspeaker of claim 1 , wherein
a through-hole for fixing a voice coil is formed at a center of the diaphragm, and
the diaphragm has an edge-fixing part configured to fix the diaphragm to a loudspeaker frame via an edge at an outer periphery of the diaphragm.
3. A conical type diaphragm for the loudspeaker of claim 1 , wherein
a through-hole for fixing a voice coil is formed at a center of the diaphragm; and
an edge-fixing part is disposed at an outer periphery of the diaphragm.
4. The conical type diaphragm of claim 3 , wherein
center points of the first circle and the second circle are displaced from a center point of an overall shape of the diaphragm.
5. The conical type diaphragm for the loudspeaker of claim 1 , wherein
the diaphragm has a third circle, the third circle surrounds both the first circle and the second circle, and the third circle contacts with outer peripheries of the first circle and the second circle, and
a center point of the third circle is a center point of the diaphragm.
6. A loudspeaker comprising:
a magnetic circuit including a magnetic gap;
a cylindrical voice coil having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to be inserted into the magnetic gap;
a conical type diaphragm fixed to the second end of the voice coil; and
a frame holding an outer periphery of the diaphragm via an edge,
wherein a through-hole for fixing the voice coil is formed at a center of the diaphragm,
wherein the diaphragm has an outer peripheral shape defined by a first circle overlapping a second circle,
wherein the first circle has a first center point and a first radius, and the second circle has a second center point different from the first center point and a second radius different from the first radius, and
wherein the first circle and the second circle overlap each other with their center points positioned such that at least one part of an outer periphery of the first circle and at least one part of an outer periphery of the second circle form a part of the substantially circular outer peripheral shape.
7. The loudspeaker of claim 6 , wherein
the diaphragm has a third circle, the third circle surrounds both the first circle and the second circle, and the third circle contacts with outer peripheries of the first circle and the second circle, and
a center point of the third circle is a center point of the diaphragm.
8. The loudspeaker of claim 6 , wherein
center points of the first circle and the second circle are positioned from a center point of an overall shape of the diaphragm.
9. A loudspeaker comprising:
a magnetic circuit including a magnetic gap;
a cylindrical voice coil having a first end and a second end, the first end being configured to be inserted into the magnetic gap;
a conical type diaphragm fixed to the second end of the voice coil; and
a frame holding an outer periphery of the diaphragm via an edge,
wherein a through-hole for fixing the voice coil is formed at a center of the diaphragm,
wherein the diaphragm has an outer peripheral shape defined by a first circle overlapping a second circle, and
wherein the first circle has a first center point and a first radius, and the second circle has a second center point different from the first center point and a second radius different from the first radius, and the first circle and the second circle overlap each other with their center points positioned such that at least one part of an outer periphery of the first circle and at least one part of an outer periphery of the second circle form a part of the substantially circular outer peripheral shape;
wherein the diaphragm has a third circle, the third circle surrounds both the first circle and the second circle, and the third circle contacts with outer peripheries of the first circle and the second circle, and
a center point of the third circle is a center point of the diaphragm.
