## Abstract

The present disclosure provides a loudspeaker, a loudspeaker device and a mobile terminal. The loudspeaker includes: a frame having an outer circumferential side wall, an inner circumferential side wall arranged opposite to the outer circumferential side wall, and an acoustic output hole penetrating the outer circumferential side wall and the inner circumferential side wall; a diaphragm having a periphery connected with the frame along a circumferential direction; and a drive assembly comprising a first driving member fixed to the diaphragm and a second driving member fixed to the frame, the first driving member being vibratory relative to the second driving member to drive the diaphragm to vibrate, thereby emitting a sound wave and making the sound wave pass through the acoustic output hole.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A loudspeaker device, comprising
a box body defining a sealed volume chamber, and
a loudspeaker fixed in the sealed volume chamber and comprising:
a frame having an outer circumferential side wall, an inner circumferential side wall arranged opposite to the outer circumferential side wall, and an acoustic output hole penetrating the outer circumferential side wall and the inner circumferential side wall;
a diaphragm having a periphery directly connected with the frame along a circumferential direction;
a cover plate fixed to the frame and arranged opposite to the diaphragm,
a drive assembly comprising a first driving member fixed to the diaphragm and a second driving member connected to the cover plate and at least partially fixed to the inner circumferential side wall of the frame and defining a through hole in communication with the acoustic output hole, the first driving member being vibratory relative to the second driving member to drive the diaphragm to vibrate, thereby emitting a sound wave and making the sound wave pass through the through hole and the acoustic output hole; and
a mesh covering the acoustic output hole,
wherein a sounding cavity is defined among the diaphragm, the cover plate and the inner circumferential side wall of the frame, and the acoustic output hole runs through the sounding cavity.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the frame includes a top end connected to the periphery of the diaphragm and a bottom end arranged opposite to the top end.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the acoustic output hole is a circular hole.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the acoustic output hole is a strip-shaped hole.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the frame is made of plastic material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the frame is made of metal material.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein material of the diaphragm is selected from a group consisting of paper, fiber, metal, wool and silk.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the first driving member vibrates relative to the second driving member along a direction substantially parallel to a normal direction of the diaphragm.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the first driving member vibrates back and forth relative to the second driving member.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein the first driving member and the second driving member are both located in the sounding cavity.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The loudspeaker device according to claim 1, wherein a distance between the acoustic output hole and the diaphragm is less than a distance between the acoustic output hole and the cover plate.

### Claim 12

A loudspeaker device, comprising
a box body defining a sealed volume chamber,
