HIGH-PRECISION ALIGNMENT FEATURES FOR AUDIO TRANSDUCERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240267677 titled 'HIGH-PRECISION ALIGNMENT FEATURES FOR AUDIO TRANSDUCERS
The abstract describes an audio transducer with a diaphragm assembly, including a diaphragm, an attachment portion, and a flexible surround. The transducer also features a voice coil coupled to the diaphragm and a carrier surrounding the voice coil.
- The diaphragm assembly consists of a diaphragm, an attachment portion, and a flexible surround.
- A voice coil is connected to the diaphragm, with a voice coil lead for electrical connection.
- A carrier surrounds the voice coil, with an annular mounting surface for attachment.
- The voice coil lead extends through a channel in the mounting surface.
Potential Applications: - Audio equipment such as speakers, headphones, and microphones. - Communication devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. - Automotive sound systems and entertainment systems.
Problems Solved: - Improved sound quality and performance in audio devices. - Enhanced durability and longevity of the transducer. - Simplified assembly and maintenance processes.
Benefits: - Clear and crisp sound reproduction. - Long-lasting and reliable audio performance. - Easy installation and maintenance.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Audio Transducer Technology for Enhanced Sound Quality This technology can be utilized in the manufacturing of high-quality speakers, headphones, and other audio devices, catering to audiophiles, music enthusiasts, and professionals in the audio industry. The improved performance and durability of the transducer can lead to increased customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Questions about Audio Transducer Technology: 1. How does the flexible surround in the diaphragm assembly contribute to the overall performance of the audio transducer? The flexible surround helps to maintain the integrity of the diaphragm and allows for smooth movement, resulting in accurate sound reproduction. 2. What are the advantages of having a carrier surrounding the voice coil in the audio transducer? The carrier provides structural support and protection to the voice coil, ensuring stability and longevity in the transducer's operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio transducer includes a diaphragm assembly. the diaphragm assembly can include a diaphragm, an attachment portion that circumferentially surrounds the diaphragm, and a flexible surround extending between the diaphragm and the attachment portion. the audio transducer can include a voice coil coupled to the diaphragm where the voice coil has a voice coil lead. the audio transducer can include a carrier that circumferentially surrounds the voice coil. the carrier can include an annular mounting surface, with the attachment portion of the diaphragm assembly being able to attach to the mounting surface, and a channel formed in the mounting surface. the voice coil lead can extend through the channel.
