Abstract
A high performance loudspeaker structure is provided which is of reduced thickness yet resistible to large vibration amplitudes. A repulsion magnetic circuit is formed by two magnets with the same poles being faced each other and a center plate interposed between the two magnets. The repulsion magnetic circuit is held in position by two frames. A diaphragm is mounted at the level flush with the center of the winding width of a voice coil. The outer periphery of an edge (suspension) bonded to the outer circumference of the diaphragm is held by flanges of the frames.
Claims5
A structure of a loudspeaker having two magnets magnetized in the thickness direction and disposed with the same poles being faced each other, a magnetic member interposed between the two magnets, and a diaphragm with a voice coil disposed in a magnetic field generated in the vicinity of the outer circumference of the magnetic member, said diaphragm and a suspension bonded to the outer circumference of said diaphragm being disposed at a level in the winding width range of said voice coil, wherein said magnets are held by holding sections formed on two outer frames of the loudspeaker, said outer frames having sound radiating areas, and the outer circumference areas of said frames holding the outer circumference areas of said suspension wherein said holding sections of said outer frames are projections formed on a central area of said outer frames and extending inwardly.
A structure of a loudspeaker having two magnets magnetized in the thickness direction and disposed with the same poles being faced each other, a magnetic member interposed between the two magnets, a diaphragm, and a voice coil disposed in a magnetic field generated in the vicinity of the outer circumference of the magnetic member, wherein said diaphragm is configured as a taper structure, an outer narrow edge of said taper structure diaphragm being connected through a suspension to a frame and an inner edge of said taper structure diaphragm being connected to said voice coil, and said taper structure diaphragm has a rigidity to support said voice coil without providing additional suspension means of supporting said voice coil, the frame comprising a front plate and a rear plate which are substantially parallel to each other and the two magnets being fixed to the centers of the opposing front and rear frame plates, and
- wherein the center lines of said suspension, diaphragm, voice coil and magnetic member are arranged horizontally in a line, and
- said front plate and said rear plate each include a projection at the center thereof, said two magnets are rings, and the center holes of said magnets are engaged with the projections.
