Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は各種携帯電話機やゲーム機等に使用される振動機能付電気音響変換器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
振動機能付電気音響変換器は、携帯電話機に取り付けられ、着信を振動で伝達するバイブ機能と、着信をメロディで伝達したり、音声をハンズフリーで再生したりするスピーカ機能の両機能を併せ持った複合デバイスである。
【0003】
このような従来の振動機能付電気音響変換器について、図4(a)、図4(b)により説明する。
【0004】
図4(a)は従来の振動機能付電気音響変換器の平面図、図4(b)は同側断面図である。
【0005】
同図によると、10は空気振動を発生する振動板であり、この振動板10の外周部のエッジ部を介してバッフル6に保持されている。
【0006】
この振動板10の中間部にはボイスコイル1が固着されており、その先端部は、磁気回路2の磁気ギャップ2aに挿入されている。
【0007】
一方、上記バッフル6の外周部には、フレーム5が装着されており、フレーム5の外縁平坦部には、サスペンション4が溶接固着されている。
【0008】
サスペンション4は、中央部に磁気回路2や付加ウェイト3を保持し共振周波数で振動できるクリアランスが上下に設けられている。
【0009】
次に動作について説明すると、振動板10及びボイスコイル1からなる振動系が振動できるようなある程度高い周波数の信号が、ボイスコイル1に入力されると振動板10が振動し、一般的な再生音を空中に放射する。一方、上記振動系の共振周波数よりはるかに低い周波数の信号が、ボイスコイル1に入力されれば、上記振動系は共振周波数よりはるかに低い周波数であるので振動せず、音を放射しないが、磁気回路2と付加ウェイト3の質量を合計した重り部分とサスペンション4とからなる可動部の単一共振系の共振周波数と合致した周波数の時、上記重り部分は振動し、周囲に最大振幅の振動を伝達する。
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上述の振動機能付電気音響変換器は、図4(b)に示すごとく、磁気回路2と付加ウェイト3からなる重り部とサスペンション4とで構成される共振回路はLCの単一共振系であり、抵抗分が小さいため、振動特性の共振周波数でのQが大きく、この共振周波数からボイスコイルに入力された信号が少しずれた場合の振動力はかなり低下してしまうという課題を有するものであった。
【0011】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するもので、スピーカ部の特性に変化を起こすことなく、また外径寸法の変更や組立工法の大きな変更を伴うことなく、共振周波数のズレによっても振動力に著しい変動がないように、振動力の周波数特性が、よりフラットな振動特性を持つ振動機能付電気音響変換器を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明の請求項1に記載のものは、サスペンションに制動機能を持たせたことにより磁気回路側の振動特性のQを抑制し、共振周波数近傍のQ特性の平坦化を図り、振動を発生させるための共振周波数の入力がずれても振動特性の著しい減少を抑制することを可能とするとともに、サスペンション自体の金属表面に樹脂またはゴムをコーティングしたものとすることで、きわめて容易に制動機能を有するサスペンションを作製できるものである。
【0013】
本発明の請求項2に記載のものは、請求項1に記載のサスペンションとして樹脂板の表面に前記樹脂より柔らかい硬度の樹脂またはゴムをコーディングしたサスペンションを用いたものであり、樹脂を主とするサスペンションにおいても制動機能を有するサスペンションの提供を可能とするものである。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の振動機能付電気音響変換器の一実施の形態について図1から図3により説明する。なお、説明にあたっては従来技術と同一部分には同一番号を付して説明を簡略化する。
【0015】
(実施の形態1)
図1は本発明の振動機能付電気音響変換器の一実施形態の振動板とボイスコイルを取り除いた状態の上面図であり、図2は同要部であるサスペンションの側断面図(図1のB−B断面図)であり、図3は振動力特性図であり、主として請求項1および請求項2について説明するものである。
【0016】
従来技術との相違点についてのみ説明すると、4aはサスペンションであり、金属板からなるサスペンション本体部4bとこのサスペンション本体部4bにゴム材をコーティングしてなる制動部4cとから形成されている。
【0017】
図3のaは本実施形態の振動機能付電気音響変換器の振動力特性であり、bは従来の振動機能付電気音響変換器の振動力特性を示すが、同図から明らかなようにaの方が特性の先鋭度(Q)が緩やかとなることが確認された。
【0018】
従って、磁気回路2を含む可動部側を振動させるためのボイスコイル1に加える低周波信号の周波数が可動部側の固有の共振周波数と若干ずれたとしてもこの可動部側の振動特性のQが従来のものほど先鋭でないので、振動力の低下を僅少に留めることが可能となるものである。
【0019】
なお、上記実施の形態ではゴム材をコーティングして制動部4cを形成したが、ゴム材に代えて樹脂をコーティングしても同様の効果を有することが確認された。
【0020】
また、前記実施の形態ではサスペンション本体部4bを金属板としているが、機能材としても良く、この場合は制動部4cをこの樹脂材よりなるサスペンション本体部4bより柔らかい硬度の樹脂またはゴムをコーティングして形成しても良いものである。
【0021】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明は構成されるものであり、磁気回路部を含む可動部を振動させるためにボイスコイルに外部から入力される電気信号の周波数が前記可動部とサスペンションからなる部分の共振周波数から若干ずれたとしても振動力の低下を極めて低く抑制することができ、前記電気信号を供給する外部機器の製造上のバラツキや振動機能付電気音響変換器の前記可動部の部品や製造上のバラツキを吸収して安定した振動力を有する振動機能付電気音響変換器の提供を可能とするものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electroacoustic transducer with a vibration function used for various mobile phones, game machines and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The electroacoustic transducer with vibration function is attached to a mobile phone and has both a vibe function that transmits incoming calls with vibration and a speaker function that transmits incoming calls with melodies and plays audio hands-free. It is a composite device.
[0003]
Such a conventional electroacoustic transducer with a vibration function will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b).
[0004]
4A is a plan view of a conventional electroacoustic transducer with a vibration function, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional side view thereof.
[0005]
According to the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a diaphragm that generates air vibration, and is held by the baffle 6 through an edge portion of the outer peripheral portion of the diaphragm 10.
[0006]
A voice coil 1 is fixed to an intermediate portion of the diaphragm 10, and a tip portion thereof is inserted into a magnetic gap 2 a of the magnetic circuit 2.
[0007]
On the other hand, a frame 5 is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the baffle 6, and a suspension 4 is welded and fixed to a flat portion of the outer edge of the frame 5.
[0008]
The suspension 4 has a magnetic circuit 2 and an additional weight 3 at the center, and a clearance that can vibrate at a resonance frequency is provided at the top and bottom.
[0009]
Next, the operation will be described. When a signal having a certain high frequency that can vibrate the vibration system including the diaphragm 10 and the voice coil 1 is input to the voice coil 1, the diaphragm 10 vibrates, and a general reproduction sound is obtained. To the air. On the other hand, if a signal having a frequency much lower than the resonance frequency of the vibration system is input to the voice coil 1, the vibration system has a frequency much lower than the resonance frequency and thus does not vibrate and does not emit sound. The weight part vibrates at a frequency that matches the resonance frequency of the single resonance system of the movable part composed of the weight part obtained by adding the masses of the magnetic circuit 2 and the additional weight 3 and the suspension 4, and the vibration with the maximum amplitude is generated in the surrounding area. To communicate.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, as shown in FIG. 4B, the electroacoustic transducer with vibration function described above has an LC single resonance system composed of a weight part composed of the magnetic circuit 2, the additional weight 3, and the suspension 4. Since the resistance is small, the Q at the resonance frequency of the vibration characteristics is large, and the vibration force when the signal input to the voice coil is slightly deviated from this resonance frequency has a problem that the vibration force is considerably reduced. Met.
[0011]
The present invention solves the above-described problems, and does not cause a change in the characteristics of the speaker unit, and does not significantly change the vibration force due to the deviation of the resonance frequency without a change in the outer diameter or a major change in the assembly method. An object of the present invention is to provide an electroacoustic transducer with a vibration function in which the frequency characteristic of the vibration force has a flatter vibration characteristic so that there is no fluctuation.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the suspension has a braking function, the vibration characteristic Q on the magnetic circuit side is suppressed, and the Q characteristic near the resonance frequency is flattened. This makes it possible to suppress a significant decrease in vibration characteristics even if the input of the resonance frequency for generating vibration is shifted, and to make the metal surface of the suspension itself coated with resin or rubber. A suspension having a braking function can be manufactured very easily.
[0013]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the suspension according to the first aspect uses a suspension in which a resin or rubber having a hardness softer than that of the resin is coded on the surface of the resin plate, and the resin is mainly used. In the suspension, it is possible to provide a suspension having a braking function.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a vibration function with an electroacoustic transducer of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1-3. In the description, the same parts as those in the prior art are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description is simplified.
[0015]
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a top view of the electroacoustic transducer with vibration function according to an embodiment of the present invention in a state in which a diaphragm and a voice coil are removed, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of a suspension as the main part (of FIG. 1). a sectional view taken along line B-B), FIG. 3 is a vibration force characteristic diagram, in which will be explained mainly in claims 1 and 2.
[0016]
Only the differences from the prior art will be described. Reference numeral 4a denotes a suspension, which is composed of a suspension body portion 4b made of a metal plate and a braking portion 4c formed by coating the suspension body portion 4b with a rubber material.
[0017]
3a shows the vibration force characteristics of the electroacoustic transducer with vibration function of the present embodiment, and b shows the vibration force characteristics of the conventional electroacoustic transducer with vibration function. As is apparent from FIG. It was confirmed that the sharpness (Q) of the characteristic is more moderate.
[0018]
Therefore, even if the frequency of the low frequency signal applied to the voice coil 1 for vibrating the movable part including the magnetic circuit 2 slightly deviates from the inherent resonance frequency on the movable part, the Q of the vibration characteristic on the movable part side is Since it is not as sharp as the conventional one, the decrease in vibration force can be kept to a minimum.
[0019]
In the above-described embodiment, the braking portion 4c is formed by coating a rubber material, but it has been confirmed that the same effect can be obtained by coating a resin instead of the rubber material.
[0020]
In the above embodiment, the suspension body 4b is a metal plate, but it may be a functional material. In this case, the brake 4c is coated with a resin or rubber having a softer hardness than the suspension body 4b made of this resin material. May be formed.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention is configured, and the frequency of the electric signal input from the outside to the voice coil to vibrate the movable part including the magnetic circuit part is the resonance frequency of the part composed of the movable part and the suspension. Even if it is slightly deviated from the above, it is possible to suppress a decrease in vibration force to a very low level. It is possible to provide an electroacoustic transducer with a vibration function that absorbs variation and has a stable vibration force.
