Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a loudspeaker and, in particular, a shallow loudspeaker with improved lateral stability of the voice coil.
  • the basic components of a conventional loudspeaker include moving parts, such as a voice coil system for converting the electrical input signal into motion, a diaphragm for converting said motion into acoustical output; stationary parts, such as a magnet system for providing a permanent magnetic force for the voice coil and a frame or chassis for supporting the components; suspension devices for connecting the moving parts with the stationary parts, and a terminal board or connector for electrical connection.
  • moving parts such as a voice coil system for converting the electrical input signal into motion, a diaphragm for converting said motion into acoustical output
  • stationary parts such as a magnet system for providing a permanent magnetic force for the voice coil and a frame or chassis for supporting the components
  • suspension devices for connecting the moving parts with the stationary parts, and a terminal board or connector for electrical connection.
  • the loudspeaker 10 comprises a diaphragm 5, a voice coil system wherein coil windings 7 are wound about a coil carrier 8, a magnet system 1 which comprises a ring-shaped permanent magnet 1a, a front plate 1b, and a bottom yoke 1c.
  • a suspension device 4 connects the voice coil with the frame 2 which is also known to the skilled in the art as chassis, basket, or the like.
  • the frame 2 not only serves as housing for the loudspeaker, but also provides a firm support to the moving parts: the periphery of the diaphragm 5 is fixed to the frame 2 by way of a second suspension device 3; the suspension device 4 also finds its footing on the frame 2.
  • the moving parts obtain a certain level of stability when in vibration.
  • the suspension devices resist lateral movement of the moving assembly, whilst offering a restoring force to any axial movement from the voice coil.
  • lateral movement is most likely to be problematic at low frequency, where the moving components are likely to be moving as a single body, the suspension components can be seen as simple springs anchoring the moving assembly to the frame. If lateral movement were to happen it would almost certainly be in the form of rotational movement due to the nature of the suspension devices attached around the extremities of the moving components. Such motion would occur around a point defined by the positions of the suspension components. This point is likely to be positioned centrally through the horizontal axis of the loudspeaker and vertically somewhere between the two suspension devices depending on the stiffness of each device and their distance apart.
  • this centre of rotation can be calculated, however the pertinent point is that the voice coil is likely to be the furthest component away from the centre of rotation, and therefore is likely to move around an ark of rotation relative to the centre of rotation.
  • the distance of the coil away from the centre of rotation can be seen as a multiplying factor of the unwanted rotation of motion, amplifying any rotation at the coil, thus suggesting that small rotation caused, for example, by a miss-aligned diaphragm or suspension component during manufacture, has a high likelihood of causing a coil rub.
  • connection device 3 and suspension device 4 would be positioned as wide a part as possible.
  • it is easy to see that, such an arrangement generally results in a deep loudspeaker profile.
  • U.S. patent application No. 2004-0170297 discloses a speaker apparatus with an inverse dome-shaped diaphragm driven at its periphery, wherein a suspension may be disposed between the voice coil carrier and the loudspeaker frame in order to support the dome diaphragm.
  • This geometry still falls into the conventional category and provides limited lateral stability for the diaphragm.
  • the present invention provides a loudspeaker comprising a cone-shaped or dome-shaped diaphragm with three areas: an outer periphery, an intermediate area, and a centre area; a frame which houses the diaphragm; a motor system for providing the driving force to vibrate the diaphragm, said motor system including a magnet system attached to the frame and a voice coil system attached to the outer periphery of the diaphragm; a first suspension attached to the frame and the outer periphery of the diaphragm; and a second suspension attached to either the frame or the magnet system - either directly or through a intermediate piece - and the diaphragm or an intermediate piece. Specifically, the second suspension is attached closer to the centre area of the diaphragm than the voice coil system is.
  • the loudspeaker of the present invention has numerous advantages over its conventional counterparts. It allows a significant reduction in depth of the speaker profile. For instance, the depth of the speaker can be reduced by typically the magnet depth of a conventional loudspeaker geometry for a given voice coil size.
  • the presence of two suspensions and the locations thereof, especially the location of the second suspension ensure a maximized space between the suspensions, thus achieving an excellent lateral stability for the loudspeaker, by moving the voice coil much closer to the centre of any unwanted lateral rotation of the moving parts.
  • the above-mentioned structural advantages, the improved stability in particular translate into better acoustic performance with respect to current shallow transducer topology: Increased excursion, improved low frequency extension, improved distortion, and improved frequency response balance.
  • Other performance benefits gained from the geometry described in the present invention include better directivity, a smoother high frequency roll off, and an extended power response.
  • the various parts of the loudspeaker may be positioned more advantageously and closer to one another and therefore may be integrated with one another more easily (e.g., voice coil carrier and diaphragm) than in the case of conventional loudspeakers. Consequently, a reduction in parts count may be attained, which potentially means a simplified production process, and lower manufacturing costs. Additionally, the two suspensions are allowed to be attached to the different sides of the diaphragm, thus further simplifying the manufacture of the loudspeaker.
  • FIG. 2 depicts a basic geometry of a loudspeaker of the present invention in a cross sectional view.
  • the loudspeaker 20 comprises a diaphragm 25, a frame 22, a motor system having a magnet system 21 and a voice coil system 27 and 28, a first suspension 23, and a second suspension 24.
  • the diaphragm 25 has an outer periphery 25a, a centre area 25c, and an intermediate area 25b there between.
  • the diaphragm 25 may be cone-shaped as shown in FIG. 2 , or dome-shaped, or more particular, "inverted dome-shaped," as shown in FIG. 3 below.
  • the centre area 25c of the diaphragm 25 may comprise a centre orifice 25d as seen in FIG. 2 .
  • a dust protection cap 25e is attached to the front side of the diaphragm 25 comprising the orifice 25d.
  • the dust protection cap 25e as shown in
  • FIG. 2 (or the diaphragm 35 as shown in FIG. 3 ) may have the orifice 25d in their respective centre area 25c for manufacturing purposes.
  • the diaphragm 25 may be made of any material known in the art, such as aluminium, paper, wood, plastic, et cetera.
  • the diaphragm 25 is positioned in the frame 22 of the loudspeaker 20. Besides accommodating the diaphragm 25, the frame 22 provides housing and mechanical support for the other components of the loudspeaker 20, such as the motor system and the suspensions 23 and 24, which are described in more detail below.
  • the frame 22 may comprise a metal chassis such as an aluminium or steel chassis, or a plastic chassis.
  • the motor system which is attached to the frame 22, for example, by means of a cradle, includes a magnet system 21 attached to the frame 22, and a voice coil system 27 and 28 attached to the diaphragm 25.
  • the magnet system 21 may comprise one ore more magnets 21a typically, but not exclusively, made of neodymium or ferrite, and one or more soft-magnetic components 21b and 21c, such as steel components, for creating a magnetic circuit with an air gap 21d into which the voice coil system is disposed.
  • the magnet system 21 may, in particular, comprise a ring-shaped permanent magnet 21a, a top plate or core cap 21b, and a shell pot 21c, thus forming a magnetic circuit with the annular gap 21d between the core cap 21b and the shell pot 21c. Any other known designs of magnet systems are applicable as well.
  • the voice coil system 27 and 28 is disposed in the air gap 21d and attached to the diaphragm 25.
  • the voice coil system comprises a voice coil carrier known as a former 27 attached to the outer periphery 25a of the diaphragm 25 and voice coils 28 wound about the voice coil carrier 27.
  • the coils 28 may be of a round or flat wire type, which may be made of aluminium and/or copper.
  • a first suspension 23 is attached to the diaphragm 25 and the frame 22, basically for fixing the periphery 25a of the diaphragm 25 to the frame 22.
  • a second suspension 24 is attached, at one end, to the diaphragm 22, and at the other end, to the frame 22. More details about the fixture of the second suspension 24 are described in FIG. 4 , 5, and 6 , below.
  • the fixture of either end can be performed either directly or indirectly, that is, via an intermediate piece wherein the magnet system can serve as an intermediate piece, too.
  • the second suspension 24 is attached to the diaphragm at a point that is closer to the centre 25c of the diaphragm than the point at which the voice coil system 27, 28 is attached, thus securely fixing the centre 25c of the diaphragm 25 to the frame 22.
  • the second suspension 24 is attached to the diaphragm 25 as far away as possible from the first suspension 23 which is attached to the outer periphery 25a of the diaphragm 25.
  • the second suspension 24 should ideally be positioned lower than the voice coil 28.
  • a maximised distance between the first suspension 23 and the second suspension 24, which may be a spider, such as a corrugated spider, ensures a high level of lateral stability, which in turn brings about many stability and acoustic benefits for the loudspeaker either directly or indirectly through other aspects of the geometry.
  • the first suspension 23 may be disposed in non-supporting and non-stressing relation to the frame 22 and the diaphragm 25, with the second suspension 24 providing support for the diaphragm 25.
  • the suspensions 23 and 24 may be so arranged that the first suspension 23 is attached to the front side of the diaphragm 25 while the second suspension 24 is attached to the rear side thereof.
  • Each of the first 23 and the second 24 suspensions would typically be made of a flexible material, such as, though not exclusively, rubber, foam, polymer, woven fabric, or a composite of some of these materials.
  • the suspensions 23 and 24 may be fixed to the moving parts of the loudspeaker in different ways, such as, though not exclusively, moulded directly and indirectly, or adhered to the moving parts.
  • the various components of the loudspeaker 20 may be formed individually and interconnected by adhesive joins.
  • the diaphragm 25 and the voice coil carrier 27 as shown in FIG. 2 are interconnected by adhesive join 29a; the dust cap 25c and the diaphragm are interconnected by adhesive join 29b.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross sectional view of another loudspeaker according to the present invention.
  • the components of the loudspeaker 30 in this figure are the same as those in FIG. 2 , except that the diaphragm 35 is of an inverted dome-shape.
  • an "inverted dome-shaped speaker” has a concave cross section formed by protruding the dome toward the voice coil.
  • Various components of loudspeakers of the present invention may be formed individually as in the conventional manner. However, the present invention also allows them to be formed as a single piece, thus facilitating the creation of features within components for improving performance and reducing both parts count and the number of necessary joins.
  • a diaphragm 45, a voice coil carrier 48, and/or a dust protection cap (having no hole) may be formed as a single piece, eliminating adhesive joins 29a and 29b of FIG. 2 .
  • the material used for the diaphragm 45 is, typically, though not exclusively, aluminium.
  • the second suspension may be attached to the frame or to the magnet system, and in case of the later, the second suspension may be attached to different components of the magnet system, such as the magnet component or the soft-magnetic component.
  • FIG. 4 shows the cross sectional view of a loudspeaker according to the present invention wherein the second suspension 44 is directly attached to the frame 42 of the loudspeaker 40.
  • FIG. 5 shows the cross sectional view of another loudspeaker according to the present invention wherein the second suspension 54 is attached to a soft-magnetic component 51c of the magnet system 51 via an intermediate piece 56 which may be made of metal, plastic or any other suitable materials. Similarly the suspension component in FIG. 5 is also attached to the diaphragm 55 via a second intermediate piece 59. Either of these intermediate pieces may be used, or as shown in FIG. 5 , both pieces.
  • FIG. 6 shows the cross sectional view of another loudspeaker according to the present invention wherein the second suspension 64 is attached to the soft-magnetic component 61c of the magnet system 61.
  • FIG. 7 shows the cross sectional view of another loudspeaker according to the present invention wherein the second suspension 74 is directly attached to a magnet 71a of the magnet system 71.
  • the voice coil throw of the invention is potentially much longer than a typical shallow speaker, allowing similar low frequency extension and distortion to a conventional deep loudspeaker geometry. Due to the position of the voice coil attached to the periphery of the diaphragm a significant improvement in directivity and hence power response bandwidth is available over an equivalent conventional geometry loudspeaker.
  • FIG. 8 is a graph showing a typical frequency response of the loudspeaker of the present invention comprising a MMX diaphragm. From this figure, it can be seen that the roll-off in the high frequency range although somewhat earlier than in a conventional loudspeaker geometry, is more controlled and smoother for a given diaphragm material. This improvement is appreciated, because an uncontrolled roll-off in the high frequency range usually means the generation of mid and high Q resonance artefacts, which brings unwanted audible ringing and potential distortion increases.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a comparison of off-axis performance (power response) between a conventional geometry loudspeaker and a loudspeaker of the present invention.
  • the conventional geometry (a) is approximately 12 dB down in output while a loudspeaker of the present invention (b) is only about 5 dB down, an evident improvement in directivity.
  • FIG. 10 demonstrates the broader power response available from a loudspeaker of the present invention over that of a conventional loudspeaker with the same diaphragm diameter and material.
