Abstract

An acoustic speaker device ( 10 ) according to the present invention comprises at least two types of gas adsorption materials in a cabinet ( 12 ) thereof. A porous carbon material package member ( 14 A), which is one of the gas adsorption materials, can adsorb or eliminate air in the cabinet ( 12 ) by a porous carbon material ( 41 ) during the operation of a speaker unit ( 13 ) so as to buffer compression or expansion of air in the cabinet ( 12 ). A sheet-like moisture adsorbing material ( 14 B), which is the other of the gas adsorbing materials, is formed by dispersing copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite ( 43 ) in a thermoplastic resin composition ( 44 ), and is stuck on at least a section of an inner wall of the cabinet ( 12 ). This configuration allows moisture in the cabinet ( 12 ) to be rapidly adsorbed.

Claims (20)

1. An acoustic speaker device, comprising:

a cabinet;

a speaker unit mounted on the cabinet; and

a gas adsorption material provided inside of the cabinet and being capable of adsorbing moisture and a gas component in the cabinet;

wherein the gas adsorption material is composed of at least a porous carbon material and a sheet-like moisture adsorbing material,

wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is formed by dispersing copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite in a base material composed of at least a polymer material, and is stuck on at least a section of an inner wall of the cabinet,

wherein the base material of the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin as the polymer material, and

wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is formed by blending equal to or less than 40 parts by weight of the ZSM-5 zeolite in 100 parts by weight of the resin composition and then thermally forming the blended material into a sheet form.

2. The acoustic speaker device according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is stuck on at least an inner surface of the cabinet corresponding to a front side of the cabinet.

3. The acoustic speaker device according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is stuck on at least a section of an inner surface of the cabinet right under the porous carbon material.

4. An acoustic speaker device comprising:

a cabinet;

a speaker unit mounted on the cabinet; and

a gas adsorption material provided inside of the cabinet and being capable of adsorbing moisture and a gas component in the cabinet;

wherein the gas adsorption material is composed of at least a porous carbon material and a sheet-like moisture adsorbing material,

wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is formed by dispersing copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite in a base material composed of at least a polymer material, and is stuck on at least a section of an inner wall of the cabinet,

wherein the base material of the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin as the polymer material, and

wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is thermally formed at a temperature equal to or lower than an upper limit temperature, which is higher by 60 degrees C. than a softening temperature of the thermoplastic resin.

5. The acoustic speaker device according to claim 4 , wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is stuck on at least an inner surface of the cabinet corresponding to a front side thereof.

6. The acoustic speaker device according to claim 4 , wherein the sheet-like moisture adsorbing material is stuck on at least a section of an inner surface of the cabinet right under the porous carbon material.
