Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet une enceinte acoustique du type baffle à rendement élevé.The present invention relates to a loudspeaker of the high efficiency baffle type.
IL est connu de réaliser des enceintes constituées d'un caisson de forme parallèlépipèdique dans LequeL est ménagé un pavillon couplé à l'onde avant d'un ou de plusieurs haut-parleurs pour la reproduction des moyennes et hautes fréquences et d'un pavillon dit arrière couplé à l'onde arrière du dit haut parleur pour La reproduction des basses fréquences qui est constitué par un conduit replié sur Lui-même de configuration en arc de cercle pour déboucher en partie frontale. Ces pavillons sont à section croissante suivant une Loi de croissance exponentielle.It is known to produce speakers made up of a box of parallelepiped shape in LequeL is provided a horn coupled to the front wave of one or more speakers for the reproduction of medium and high frequencies and a horn said rear coupled to the rear wave of said loudspeaker for the reproduction of low frequencies which is constituted by a conduit folded back on itself of configuration in an arc of a circle to lead into the front part. These pavilions are of increasing section according to an Exponential Growth Law.
Pour obtenir un bon rendement sonore par rapport à L'énergie électrique dépensée, il est interessant d'obtenir La reproduction d'une plage relativement étendue du spectre sonore audible.To obtain a good sound efficiency compared to the electrical energy expended, it is interesting to obtain the reproduction of a relatively wide range of the audible sound spectrum.
Au niveau des basses fréquences la reproduction par pavillon à croissance exponentielle suppose La réalisation de pavillons très volumineux.At low frequencies, the reproduction by an exponentially growing pavilion supposes the realization of very bulky pavilions.
De ce fait il n'est pas possible de réaliser des enceintes d'encombrement Limité, facilement transportables et de rendement élevé.Therefore it is not possible to make enclosures of limited size, easily transportable and high efficiency.
Pour accroître Le volume du pavillon exponentiel arrière, il est connu de disposer Le ou Les haut-parleurs sur La paroi frontale de l'enceinte qui constitue alors séparation entre L'onde avant et L'onde arrière du haut parleur.To increase the volume of the rear exponential horn, it is known to place the speaker (s) on the front wall of the enclosure which then constitutes a separation between the front wave and the rear wave of the speaker.
Dans ce cas L'accroissement de capacité au niveau des basses fréquences se fait au détriment des hautes fréquences.In this case, the increase in capacity at the low frequencies is at the expense of the high frequencies.
La présente invention a pour but d'offrir une solution au problème posé.The object of the present invention is to offer a solution to the problem posed.
Suivant une disposition particulière de l'invention, L'enceinte comporte un ou plusieurs haut-parleurs montés sur une paroi de séparation de l'onde avant et de l'onde arrière, la dite paroi pouvant être La paroi frontale du caisson.According to a particular arrangement of the invention, the enclosure comprises one or more speakers mounted on a wall separating the front wave and the rear wave, said wall possibly being the front wall of the box.
Dans Le caisson est ménagé derrière Le haut parleur un pavillon ou conduit à section croissante suivant une loi de croissance exponentielle, le dit conduit étant replié sur Lui-même.In the box is formed behind the loudspeaker a pavilion or duct with increasing section according to an exponential growth law, the said duct being folded back on itself.
De part et d'autre de La paroi frontale sont disposées au moins deux parois verticales cintrées à écartement croissant suivant une loi de croissance exponentielle.On either side of the front wall are arranged at least two curved vertical walls with increasing spacing according to an exponential growth law.
Les parois verticales cintrées, dont de préférence Le profil est constant sur toute La hauteur du baffle sont réunies par des parois ou cloisons horizontales.The curved vertical walls, the profile of which is preferably constant over the entire height of the cabinet are joined by horizontal walls or partitions.
Une des cloisons horizontales est disposée entre Les haut-parleurs et Le débouché du pavillon arrière et les autres à chaque extrémité inférieure et supérieure, des parois verticales.One of the horizontal partitions is arranged between the loudspeakers and the outlet of the rear roof and the others at each lower and upper end, of the vertical walls.
Cette disposition de L'invention permet de constituer un pavillon exponentiel couplé à L'onde avant des haut-parleurs, pavillon court destiné aux fréquences élevées moyennes et hautes du spectre, par exemple au dessus de 150 HZ.This arrangement of the invention makes it possible to constitute an exponential horn coupled to the front wave of the loudspeakers, a short horn intended for high medium and high frequencies of the spectrum, for example above 150 HZ.
Cette disposition de L'invention permet également de prolonger La croissance exponentielle du pavillon arrière dont Les parois épousent La loi.This arrangement of the invention also makes it possible to extend the exponential growth of the rear pavilion, the walls of which conform to the law.
Ce pavillon beaucoup plus long possède un rendement élevé dans la partie basse du spectre, par exemple pour Les fréquences inférieures à 150 HZ.This much longer flag has a high efficiency in the lower part of the spectrum, for example for frequencies below 150 HZ.
Suivant une autre disposition de L'invention, Les parois constituant Les dits pavillons sont montées de manière amovible et/ou articulées sur L'enceinte.According to another arrangement of the invention, the walls constituting the said pavilions are removably mounted and / or articulated on the enclosure.
