Abstract

A diaphragm of a speaker device, formed into an elongated configuration, has a recessed shape and includes a voice coil arrangement part extending in its longitude direction. The voice coil arrangement part has a gap with a constant width in its lateral direction and includes a voice coil supporting part for supporting a voice coil and an expanded part provided at a position along it.

Claims (35)

1. A diaphragm for a speaker device comprising a voice coil arrangement part in which a voice coil is arranged,

wherein the voice coil arrangement part has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open upper side, and

wherein the voice coil arrangement part comprises:

first lateral walls facing each other with a first distance therebetween;

second lateral walls facing each other with a second distance therebetween, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance;

a bottom surface perpendicular to the first lateral walls and the second lateral walls; and

at least one expanded part in which the first lateral walls face each other with a third distance greater than the first distance therebetween.

2. The diaphragm according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one expanded part comprises multiple expanded parts provided with a constant spacing therebetween.

3. The diaphragm according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one expanded part comprises first and second expanded parts respectively provided in the vicinity of each of the second lateral walls and a third expanded part substantially equi-distant from the first and second expanded parts.

4. The diaphragm according to claim 1 ,

wherein the expanded part forms a space having a prismatic or cylindrical shape.

5. The diaphragm according to claim 1 ,

wherein the voice coil arrangement part is provided at a substantially central position in a lateral direction of the diaphragm.

6. The diaphragm according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first lateral walls sandwich and fix the voice coil.

7. The diaphragm according to claim 1 ,

wherein a sound output part having a hemispherical cross-section and having a function to output an acoustic wave is provided on outer sides of the first lateral walls.

8. A speaker device comprising a diaphragm therefor including a voice coil arrangement part in which a voice coil is arranged,

wherein the voice coil arrangement part has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open upper side, and

wherein the voice coil arrangement part comprises:

first lateral walls facing each other with a first distance therebetween;

second lateral walls facing each other with a second distance therebetween, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance;

a bottom surface perpendicular to the first lateral walls and the second lateral walls; and

at least one expanded part in which the first lateral walls face each other with a third distance greater than the first distance therebetween.

9. The speaker device according to claim 8 , further comprising a magnetic circuit including a magnetic gap,

wherein the magnetic gap is provided at a substantially central position of the magnetic circuit, and

wherein the voice coil arrangement part of the diaphragm is arranged in the magnetic gap.

10. A mobile phone comprising a speaker device including a diaphragm therefor including a voice coil arrangement part in which a voice coil is arranged,

wherein the voice coil arrangement part has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open upper side, and

wherein the voice coil arrangement part comprises:

first lateral walls facing each other with a first distance therebetween;

second lateral walls facing each other with a second distance therebetween, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance;

a bottom surface perpendicular to the first lateral walls and the second lateral walls; and

at least one expanded part in which the first lateral walls face each other with a third distance greater than the first distance therebetween.
