Detailed Description

It should be noted that: the relative arrangement of the components and steps, the numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention unless specifically stated otherwise.

Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail but are intended to be part of the specification where appropriate.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any particular value should be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, further discussion thereof is not required in subsequent figures.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a loudspeaker diaphragm is provided. The loudspeaker diaphragm comprises a polystyrene-poly (ethylene-butylene) -polystyrene segmented copolymer foaming body film layer, wherein the polystyrene-poly (ethylene-butylene) -polystyrene segmented copolymer foaming body is prepared by a foaming method through a copolymer consisting of a polystyrene block and a poly (ethylene-butylene) block, the mass percentage of the polystyrene block is 10-70%, the glass transition temperature of the foaming body is less than or equal to-20 ℃, and the thermoplastic temperature is 80-220 ℃.

In the embodiment of the invention, the mass percentage of the polystyrene block is 10-70%. Within this range, the glass transition temperature, low temperature resistance and mechanical properties of the foam film layer are excellent.

The higher the glass transition temperature, the larger the mass content of the polystyrene block, the higher the mechanical strength of the material and the poorer the elastic recovery rate. In this example, the glass transition temperature of the foam is ≦ -20 ℃. The glass transition temperature enables the loudspeaker diaphragm to keep a high elastic state at normal temperature, and the rebound resilience is good.

Preferably, the glass transition temperature of the foam film layer is from-80 ℃ to-40 ℃. This allows the diaphragm of the loudspeaker to maintain its good elasticity during operation at temperatures below-20 c, thereby allowing the sound generating device to exhibit a high sound quality. Meanwhile, the risk of loudspeaker diaphragm damage in a low-temperature environment is reduced, and the reliability of the loudspeaker diaphragm is higher.

The foam film layer is uniformly distributed with bubbles in the material, so that the overall density of the material is reduced, and the weight of the vibrating diaphragm with the same size is reduced. This makes the resilience performance of material better, and the amplitude is bigger, more difficult because of the weight of self leads to the speaker vibrating diaphragm to take place deformation.

The foaming method includes a chemical foaming method or a physical foaming method. The chemical foaming method is a method of foaming an elastomer material (e.g., plastic) by generating a gas by a chemical method. The chemical foaming agent added into the elastomer material is decomposed after being heated, so that gas is released, and the gas forms bubbles in the elastomer forming process; alternatively, the foaming may be performed during the molding of the elastomeric material by using gases released by chemical reactions between the different components of the elastomeric material.

The physical foaming method is a method of forming bubbles in a material during the molding of the material by physical change of a foaming agent added to the material. The physical foaming method does not affect the chemical properties and molecular structure of the elastomer material, and can form uniform bubbles in the material.

The person skilled in the art can select the foaming method and the foaming agent according to the actual needs.

The number of layers of the diaphragm can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

In one example, the foaming agent of the foam is at least one of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, butane, azo compounds, nitroso compounds, inorganic compounds, and diamine compounds. The blowing agents described above are all capable of forming uniform bubbles within the elastomeric material.

For example, the foam is formed by supercritical foaming. During preparation, firstly, a foaming agent such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen in a supercritical state is injected into a closed container, so that the foaming agent and the molten copolymer are fully and uniformly mixed and diffused to form single-phase mixed sol; then, the sol is introduced into a mold cavity or an extrusion die to cause a large pressure drop of the sol, thereby causing gas to be precipitated to form a large number of bubble nuclei. In the subsequent cooling and forming process, bubble nuclei in the sol grow and are formed continuously, and finally the foaming body is obtained.

For example, the size of the cells is 10 μm to 200. mu.m. Within this range, the cells are effective in reducing the density of the elastomeric material and maintain good structural strength, resiliency and temperature resistance. Wherein the cell size refers to the distance between two points where the cells are largest.

Further, the size of the cells is 30 μm to 150 μm. Within this range, the physical properties of the elastomeric material are more favorable.

The size of the cells has a positive correlation with the content of blowing agent. When the content of the foaming agent is less, the arrangement of the foam holes is loose, the wall of the foam hole is thicker, and the size change of the foam hole is smaller; when the content of the blowing agent is high, cells are closely arranged, cell walls are thinned, and fusion between cells occurs, resulting in an increase in the size of cells and a decrease in density.

In one example, the foam has an elongation at break of 100% or more.

The higher the breaking elongation, the higher the polystyrene block content in the elastomer material, the lower the glass transition temperature of the elastomer material, the better the flexibility, the better the low temperature resistance, and the higher the reliability allowance of the loudspeaker diaphragm at low temperature.

In this example, the elongation at break of the elastomer material is greater than or equal to 100%, and the loudspeaker diaphragm is not prone to reliability problems such as membrane rupture during module use.

In addition, the elongation at break of the elastomer material is more than or equal to 100 percent, so that the vibration displacement of the loudspeaker diaphragm is larger, and the loudness is larger. And the reliability and durability are good, and the flexibility of the material is better. The greater the elongation at break, the greater the ability of the loudspeaker diaphragm to resist damage.

Furthermore, the breaking elongation of the foaming body is more than or equal to 150%, so that the vibration displacement of the loudspeaker diaphragm is larger, and the loudness is larger.

In one example, the foam has a tensile strength of from 0.1MPa to 50 MPa.

The higher the content of polystyrene, the greater the steric hindrance between the molecular chains, the greater the rigidity of the molecular chains, the higher the glass transition point of the elastomer material, the lower the low temperature resistance of the elastomer material, the higher the strength of the elastomer material, and the lower the elongation at break. The higher the expansion ratio of the elastomer material, the lower the density, the higher the porosity, the lower the strength and the lower the elongation at break of the elastomer material.

In one example, the foam has a density of 0.1g/cm³-1g/cm³The porosity is 10% -90%.

Porosity is inversely related to the density of the elastomeric material, with higher porosity giving lower density of the elastomeric material.

In the foam, the higher the content of the foaming agent, the higher the expansion ratio, and the lower the density of the elastomer material. While too low a density leads to a reduction in the mechanical strength of the material. In the use, the loudspeaker vibrating diaphragm is easy to crack and difficult to meet the use requirement. Within the range, the loudspeaker diaphragm has moderate density and high mechanical property and is not easy to crack.

Further, the density was 0.2g/cm³-0.8g/cm³The porosity is 20-80%. Within the range, the foam has good resilience and low density, and the prepared loudspeaker diaphragm has large amplitude and low polarization.

Preferably, the film layer has a density of 0.1g/cm³-0.8g/cm³. Under the density, compared with the rubber corrugated diaphragm, the corrugated diaphragm prepared by the foaming body has smaller mass, so that the sounding device shows higher loudness.

Fig. 1 is a test curve of loudness at different frequencies (i.e., SPL curve) for a loudspeaker diaphragm according to one embodiment of the present disclosure and a conventional rubber diaphragm. Wherein, the abscissa is frequency, unit: hz; the ordinate is loudness, in units: dB. The solid line (curve a in fig. 1) is a test curve of the loudspeaker diaphragm provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The dashed line (e.g., curve B in fig. 1) is a test curve of a conventional rubber diaphragm. Two kinds of vibrating diaphragms are the corrugated rim vibrating diaphragm, and the size is the same.

As shown in fig. 1, it can be seen from the SPL curve that the low frequency performance of the two loudspeaker diaphragms is similar. The F0 of the sound generating device using the diaphragm of the embodiment of the present disclosure and the conventional rubber diaphragm is 191Hz, but the frequency sensitivity of the sound generating device using the loudspeaker diaphragm of the embodiment of the present disclosure is about 1.5dB higher than that of the conventional rubber diaphragm. Therefore, the sound production device of the loudspeaker diaphragm has higher loudness and comfort level.

Table 1 shows the relationship between the polystyrene block content and the glass transition temperature and tensile strength of the material.

As can be seen from Table 1, as the content of the polystyrene block increases, the glass transition temperature of the material increases, the low temperature resistance decreases, the mechanical strength increases, and when the content of the polystyrene block is 80%, the mechanical strength of the material is greatly improved, but the toughness is obviously reduced. Within the range, the performance of the material meets the use requirements of the loudspeaker diaphragm.

Polystyrene Block content (wt%)	5	10	40	70	80
						Glass transition temperature (. degree. C.)	-80	-75	-69	-61	-50
Tensile Strength (MPa)	4.3	5.9	8.5	10.8	17.7

TABLE 1

In one example, the foam film layer has an elastic recovery of 80% or more after 10% strain. The loudspeaker diaphragm has good rebound resilience, so that the loudspeaker has good transient response and low distortion.

For the cotton vibrating diaphragm of polyurethane class bubble, the vibrating diaphragm of foaming thermoplasticity nylon elastomer preparation has the elasticity region of broad, takes place in this regional meeting an emergency, and after external force got rid of, the material has excellent resilience, and like this, loudspeaker vibrating diaphragm sways the vibration few at the vibration in-process, and sound generating mechanism's tone quality and listening stability are more excellent.

FIG. 2 is a harmonic distortion test plot of a loudspeaker diaphragm according to one embodiment of the present disclosure and a conventional foam diaphragm. The THD (Total Harmonic Distoretation) curve. Wherein, the abscissa is frequency, unit: hz; the ordinate is THD. The dashed line (curve a in fig. 2) is a test curve of the loudspeaker diaphragm provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The solid line (e.g., curve C in fig. 2) is a test curve of the polyurethane foam diaphragm. Two kinds of vibrating diaphragms are the corrugated rim vibrating diaphragm, and the size is the same.

As can be seen from the figure, the loudspeaker diaphragm of the embodiment of the present disclosure has a lower THD than the polyurethane foam diaphragm, and has no peak or the like. This shows that the loudspeaker diaphragm of the embodiment of the present disclosure has better anti-polarization capability and better sound quality.

In one example, the loudspeaker diaphragm further comprises a glue layer, and the adhesion force between the foaming film layer and the glue layer is greater than 50g/25mm under a 180 DEG peeling test. Within this range, the strength and durability of the loudspeaker diaphragm as a whole are significantly improved.

Preferably, the adhesion between the film layer and the subbing layer is greater than 100g/25mm (180 ° peel). When the loudspeaker device is applied, the adhesive force is high, so that the loudspeaker diaphragm is good in coordination consistency with the cone basin in the vibration process, the tone quality is pure, the loudspeaker diaphragm still keeps the initial state after vibrating for a long time, and the performance stability is high.

In one example, the thickness of the film layer is 50 μm to 2000 μm. The larger the thickness is, the higher the structural strength of the loudspeaker diaphragm is, but the lower the sound sensitivity is; the smaller the thickness, the higher the sensitivity of the loudspeaker diaphragm, but the lower the structural strength. Within the thickness range, the loudspeaker diaphragm has good sound sensitivity and high structural strength.

Further, the thickness of the film layer is 100-1200 μm. In the enclosure, the loudspeaker diaphragm has better comprehensive performance.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a sound generating device is provided. This sound generating mechanism includes sound generating mechanism main part and foretell loudspeaker vibrating diaphragm, loudspeaker vibrating diaphragm sets up in the sound generating mechanism main part. The sound generating device is a horn device.

The sound generating device has the characteristics of high loudness, high sensitivity, small distortion and good durability.
