SPEAKER AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17927338 titled 'SPEAKER AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
The patent application describes a speaker with a diaphragm that has a surface-layer member, drive points for vibration transmission, and a reinforcing member connected to the second surface of the surface-layer member.
- The diaphragm of the speaker includes a surface-layer member with drive points set at predetermined positions on the second surface.
- A reinforcing member is connected to the second surface, with first reinforcing portions near the drive points and one or more second reinforcing portions spaced apart from the second surface.
- The design aims to enhance the structural integrity and vibration transmission capabilities of the speaker diaphragm.
Potential Applications: - High-quality audio systems - Automotive sound systems - Home theater systems
Problems Solved: - Improved sound quality and clarity - Enhanced durability and longevity of speaker components
Benefits: - Crisp and clear audio output - Long-lasting performance - Reliable and robust speaker design
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Speaker Technology for Premium Audio Systems This innovation can be utilized in high-end audio equipment for various commercial applications, including luxury car audio systems, premium home entertainment setups, and professional sound studios.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the placement of drive points affect the vibration transmission in the speaker diaphragm? 2. What materials are commonly used for the surface-layer member and reinforcing member in high-quality speakers?
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a speaker, including: a diaphragm that includes a surface-layer member that has a first surface and a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface, a plurality of drive points used as a reference for transmission of vibrations being set at predetermined positions of the second surface, and a reinforcing member that includes a plurality of first reinforcing portions and one or more second reinforcing portions and is connected to the second surface of the surface-layer member, the plurality of first reinforcing portions being formed in a vicinity of the respective plurality of drive points, the one or more second reinforcing portions being formed to connect, in a state of being spaced apart from the second surface, between the plurality of first reinforcing portions.
