## Abstract

Provided is a voice coil wire for a sound generating device, comprising a wire body and a cavity provided in the wire body, the wire body is configured to be applied with a current signal, wherein the cavity is in a vacuum state or is filled with an insulating gas. Also provided is a voice coil, the voice coil is provided with the voice coil wire. Also provided is a sound generating device. By filling the cavity of the voice coil wire with the insulating gas or configuring the cavity to be in the vacuum state, the weight of the voice coil wire can be reduced, so the influence of skin effect on the voice coil wire is reduced, and the utilization rate of the voice coil wire is improved.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A voice coil wire for a sound generating device, comprising:
a wire body and a cavity provided in the wire body, the wire body is configured to be applied with a current signal,
wherein the cavity is in a vacuum state or is filled with an insulating gas.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The voice coil wire for a sound generating device of claim 1, wherein the cavity is arranged along an axis direction of the voice coil wire.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The voice coil wire for a sound generating device of claim 1, wherein the cavity comprises a cavity portion in a cross section of the voice coil wire, and a center of the cross section of the voice coil wire is located within the cavity portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The voice coil wire for a sound generating device of claim 3, wherein a cross section of the cavity portion has a circular or polygonal shape.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The voice coil wire for a sound generating device of claim 1, wherein the cavity comprises two or more cavity portions in a cross section of the voice coil wire, and two adjacent cavity portions are spaced with the wire body positioned therebetween.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The voice coil wire for a sound generating device of claim 5, wherein a cross section of the cavity portion has a circular or polygonal shape.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)
