Describe in detail
Although the present invention may realize in many different modes, but expression in the accompanying drawings and described in detail here is the preferred embodiments of the present invention, thereby should be realized that, content disclosed herein should be regarded as the representative instance explanation of the principle of the invention, broad aspect of the present invention only is not confined to embodiment described herein.
Use is gratifying to disclosed audiphone as the high-frequency band pass audiphone in the patent of the Carlson that quotes in front, but the existence of two elongated tubulars is the further microminiaturized obstacles of hearing aids.The frequency response of Carlson audiphone has three peaks.The frequency at middle peak is near 4.5 kilo hertzs, and it is the result of former moving device resonance.The frequency at lower peak is near 3 kilo hertzs, and it is the resonance result of first elongated tubular and the combination of first Room.The frequency at higher peak is the result of the resonance of second elongated tubular and second Room combination near 5.7 kilo hertzs.The cancellation elongated tubular is considered to a further microminiaturized approach of Carlson audiphone, but because of the result who does has so also removed high and low two formants, so that the overall frequency response of this audiphone degenerate.The purpose of design of miniature audiphone is that frequency is provided in 2 cubic centimetres chamber is that 4 kilo hertzs sound pressure level is 100 decibels a response sensitivity.Therefore it is also conceivable that cancellation second pipe, thereby eliminated higher formant (5.7 kilo hertzs), also first pipe is moved in the shell simultaneously from passband.So can believe, this variation may keep lower formant (3 kilo hertzs) and middle formant (4.5 kilo hertzs), also can reduce the size of audiphone simultaneously.Can determine also that whereby this variation makes the response sensitivity at 4 kilo hertzs of places too low.The response at 4 kilo hertzs of places occurs in than among Hyporesonance peak and intermediate resonance peak-to-peak " trough ".Therefore to consider, move these peaks and make them close to each other, thereby trough can be brought up to the height of expectation.The practice routinely, the size that changes pipe are with regard to removable second or higher peak, and this is an exercising result of still staying the pipe in the shell now.But the result that this change still can not obtain expecting has also changed the frequency of first or lower formant when its reason is the size that has changed pipe.Therefore, move the resulting any improvement of frequency of second formant all by unfavorable mobile counteracting of the frequency of first formant.
The applicant recognizes, might improve first formant by the effective mass that reduces the system that magnetic tongue bears.Magnetic tongue is around generally being positioned at the some bending that magnetic tongue is fixed to shell.The applicant recognizes, the sheet edge is being fixed on the shell of audiphone with relative the naming a person for a particular job in position that magnetic tongue is coupled to the sheet that the shakes sheet that shakes along shaking, just might reduce the effective mass of the system that magnetic tongue bears, make the sheet that shakes around a lever arm pivoted that effectively shortens.The practice routinely, when the sheet that will shake was connected on the shell by pivotable mode, this sheet that shakes was just driven by a drive rod that is coupled on the former moving device magnetic tongue.Drive rod can be slight curving, so that the pivoted effect around one except that a magnetic tongue different sheet that shakes that rotates is compensated.But in miniature audiphone of the present invention, the space of location drive rod is big not enough.Therefore, the applicant has developed a kind of novel apparatus, is used for magnetic tongue is fixed to the pivotable sheet that shakes, and fixing edge coupling direction of principal axis wherein is a rigidity, then is flexible along the shear axis direction.
In the patent of Carlson, can find the more detailed explanation of the work of the logical transducer of band, here specially with reference to the specification of having quoted this patent.
According to the present invention, in Fig. 1-4, express a kind of logical audiphone 10 of miniature band that is used for hearing aids 11 (Fig. 6).Will go through more as following, audiphone 10 is extremely compact, and can also provide as shown in Figure 5 at commercial gratifying bandpass response.In the disclosed embodiment, audiphone 10 has the high-frequency band pass characteristic.
A roughly foursquare sheet 40 that shakes is provided, and the sheet 40 that shakes comprises a roughly blade 42 of the aluminium of rigidity, and blade 42 is fixed on the conventional sheet film 43 that shakes.In the sheet that shakes of some routine, film is protruding from all four limits of blade, flexibly connects so that realize in the audiphone shell.According to the such sheet that shakes of some prior aries, the sheet that shakes is done the time spent effectively around the stiff end 28a of magnetic tongue 28 pivoted being subjected to its corresponding magnetic tongue.But in the present embodiment, as the sheet that shakes with some other routine, film 43 stretches out outside three side direction of blade 42, has formed the circumferential annular thing 44 of a flexibility around this three side.Annulation 44 terminates in three periphery edge 40a places.Annulation 44 around three periphery edge 40a is fixed on the corresponding flange 36 of cup 34, flexibly connects thereby between them, formed.In other words, blade 42 separates by ring 44 and cup 34 along these three edges, shown in Fig. 2 a.The 4th edge 40b of sheet 40 of shaking does not have ring.On the contrary, blade 42 reaches the internal edge of cup 34, shown in Fig. 2 b.Film 43 has been crossed the edge of blade 42, so that be fixed on the corresponding flange 36.In other words, blade 42 does not separate by ring 44 and cup 34 along the 4th edge 40b.Therefore, the 4th edge 40b is fixed on the cup 34 rigidly, rather than is fixed to flexibly on the cup 34.
The sheet 40 that shakes is provided with across first housing parts 18, by periphery flange 36 supports of cup 34.The sheet 40 that shakes has been determined first and second sound chambers 48,50.Second sound chamber 50 comprises all air spaces in the former moving device 16 of electromagnetic type.Shake three sides of peripheral annular thing 44 of sheet 40 of formation are 0.0005 by thickness " film (as, urine gastral cavity) be fixed to flange 36 flexibly.Shake sheet 40 the 4th edge 40b because and the effect of its blade 42 that spatially extends together be rigidity basically, and along the edge all the other side transfixions of 36.For the 4th edge 40b of the sheet 40 that guarantees to shake keeps motionless along all the other sides of flange 36,, can apply one or two epoxy resin 51 so that can remove any possible resonance of not expecting.It should be noted that this pivoted of the sheet 40 that shakes connects the amplitude that has reduced audiphone output, its reason is: compare with the conventional flexible couplings mode of the sheet that shakes, it is less that the per unit of magnetic tongue moves the air that the pivotally supported sheet that shakes is moved.But this amplitude reduces to be considered to the half measure for the necessity that obtains the desired frequency response.
In the prior art audiphone with the pivotable sheet that shakes, the distance that shake sheet and magnetic tongue separate is about 0.060 ", and they are coupled by drive rod operably.Drive rod can be slight curving, so that meet the action of the sheet that shakes that a different arc along the magnetic tongue that removes in mobile moves.But in audiphone 10 of the present invention, magnetic tongue 28 has only about 0.002 " 0.003 " with the distance that the sheet 40 that shakes separates, and the space of enough big assembling drive rod is not provided.In addition, the diameter/length of Duan drive rod is bigger than too like this, therefore can not be fully crooked.Therefore, in the present invention, by a kind of compound of flexibility, for example sclerometer hardness is the RTV of A22 or littler flexibility, and the free end 28b of magnetic tongue is coupled on the sheet 40 that shakes flexibly.The mobile basis of sheet 40 by magnetic tongue 28 of shaking is added to the frequency of the signal of telecommunication of former moving device 16 around rigid edge 40b pivoted.Sheet 40 is around rigid edge 40b pivoted because shake, thus reduced the effective mass of sheet 40 of shaking that magnetic tongue 28 bears, thereby improved the frequency of former moving device formant.
On the blade 42 of the sheet 40 that shakes and film 43, all be provided with a positioning convex 54, assemble audiphone 10 to the RTV of magnetic tongue 28 so that help to place the bonding sheet 40 that shakes by the location.
First and second outlets 56,58 are extended by housing parts 18.First outlet, 56 acoustical couplings export 58 acoustical couplings to second Room 50 to first Room 18, the second.First and second go out 56,58 18b of blind end basically by housing parts 18 extends.The diameter that a circular is set in first sound chamber 18 is 0.018 " pipe 60.The length of pipe 60 is preferably 0.1 ", the length and/or the radius that certainly change pipe 60 are regulated two peaks frequency frequently.Specifically, add the radius of bassoon 60, perhaps reduce to manage 60 length, can both improve each peak frequency frequently.
The structure of above-mentioned audiphone 10 itself can cause the quite linear combination of simplification, and in fact audiphone 10 wherein comprises three subassemblies.
First subassembly comprises the magnetic tongue 28 on the interior rear wall that is fixed to second housing parts 17.In general, the magnetic tongue of prior art audiphone is the part of former moving device, is not to be directly connected on the shell separately.Institute for magnetic tongue 28 adds support, and the thickness of the blind end 17b of second housing parts 17 is 0.006 ", and the thickness of side is 0.005 ".First subassembly further comprises a thin slice 64, as electricity end knot.
Second subassembly comprises magnet iron-clad 22, magnet 26 and coil 20.Magnet 26 is bonded in the magnet shell 32 with being spaced from each other, and coil 20 also is bonded on the magnet shell 22.Second subassembly is unique, has wherein in fact constituted the part of audiphone shell as the magnet shell 22 that returns magnetic flux path.Design is although it is so being made sacrifice aspect the magnetic flux Vent leakage, but this design has significantly reduced the overall dimension of audiphone 10.
The 3rd subassembly comprises and is fixed to cup 34 openend and is arranged on the sheet 40 that shakes in first housing parts 18.The 3rd subassembly further comprises the pipe 60 that a little is welded in first housing parts 18.Like this, just may assemble audiphone 10 by linear mode, the coil 20 that promptly passes second parts inserts the magnetic tongue free end 28b of first subassembly, and second housing parts 17 is laser-welded on the magnet shell 22.The magnetic tongue free end is protruding from the opposite end of magnet shell 22 then.On the positioning convex 54 of blade 42, place the RTV of a liquid form that had not solidified, first housing parts 18 is connected and together with magnet shell 22 their laser welding.Magnetic tongue free end 28b contacts with liquid RTV with the sealing attached form, and RTV is solidified, thereby finishes assembling.
Referring now to Fig. 6,, wherein expresses the audiphone 10 that is positioned in the hearing aids 11.This hearing aids comprises housing 66, go out 68, harmony mouth 70.Go out the 68 low frequency sounds that allow by the band connection frequency that is lower than the logical audiphone 10 of band.The sound mouthful 70 duct (not shown) that allow from the sound feeding user of audiphone 10.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in Fig. 7 and 8, express an audiphone 10 ', its frequency response is as shown in Figure 9.The general structure that audiphone 10 ' have and the previous audiphone of introducing 10 are identical has only following difference.
Main difference is to have cancelled pipe 60 and corresponding first outlet 56.Another difference is cancelled the blade 42 of the sheet 40 that shakes and the rigidity between cup 34 the 4th limit 40b pivotable fixing.On the contrary, ring 44 extends around all four edges of the sheet 40 that shakes, so that be flexibly connected on four all flanges 36 of cup 34.As discussed above, the cup that sheet 40 pivotallies that shake are connected to described first audiphone 10 is in order to reduce the effective mass of magnetic tongue, to improve the resonance frequency of audiphone 10 on 34.But because the raising of resonance frequency for described second audiphone 10 ' be not to be necessary, therefore used the flexible connection mode between comparatively traditional shake sheet and the cup, so that obtain the amplitude peak that audiphone is exported.
It is also contemplated that out second sound device 10 ' other improve, as described below.
Figure 10 disclose to audiphone 10 ' a kind of improvement, wherein a net 100 is set on 58 in outlet.The effect of net 100 is peaks of level and smooth (or damping) frequency resonance response, as shown in figure 11.
Figure 12 disclose to audiphone 10 ' another kind improve, wherein in second housing parts 17, be provided with one after accent 104.Back accent 104 can make second sound chamber, 50 (see figure 1)s ventilate.Because the effect of ventilating, make in second sound chamber 50 air not by compression, consequently can obtain bigger output amplitude value and can reduce resonance frequency.Can use back cavity net 106 to reduce the effective vent size of back cavity, therefore can change output amplitude and resonance frequency.Adjustable graticule mesh (mesh screen) is set can make the user control output amplitude and resonance frequency by adjustable mode.Figure 13 disclose audiphone 10 ' a frequency response curve, this audiphone 10 ' have back accent 104 of 0.020 " * 0.080 ", mouthfuls 104 are covered by back cavity net 106, the mesh of net 106 has 33% light transmission.By use mouthful net 100 and back cavity net 106, and by changing the relative reticular density of mouthful net 100 and back cavity net 106, just can change the acutance of formant, the while can also change output amplitude and resonance frequency.
In another embodiment, two audiphones 10 ' lean against are privately put together, in fact formed two audiphones 10 ＂ that the cross section is substantially oblong-shaped.The output amplitude of two audiphone 10 ＂ be the single audiphone 10 before discussed ' the twice of output amplitude, and reduced mechanical oscillation, this is because the phase difference of the magnetic tongue 28 of two correspondences of each single audiphone is 180 ° a cause.Therefore, the barycenter of two audiphone 10 ＂ is maintained fixed constant.This reducing of mechanical oscillation is of great importance, because the audiphone (not shown) of hearing aids may receive this vibration, causes feedback.
Last aspect of the present invention relates to each embodiment of protective cover, and protective cover is placed on the openend of audiphone, prevents that earwax from entering the opening of audiphone.
First protective cover 110 is shown among Figure 16 a, is that thickness is about 0.001 " the urine gastral cavity molding and have enough big elasticity, can suitably be stuck on the openend of audiphone.The degree of depth of first protective cover 110 " d " is about 0.050 " 0.070 ", enough will cover 110 according to this degree of depth and remain on the audiphone.Just can clear away simply from user's duct with user's finger or other utensil and to be collected in any earwax on the cover 110.
Second protective cover 114 is shown in Figure 16 b and 16c.Second protective cover 114 comprises flexible cup 118 and urine gastral cavity film 120.Cup 118 preferably bonding is fixed on the audiphone.
The 3rd protective cover 126 and second protective cover, 114 broadly similars just comprise a net 128, and net 128 separates with urine gastral cavity film 120 by filling up 130.Discussed as previous, the net on can use sound mouth changes each frequency response.But because of the sound mouth will insert user's duct, the very fast usually mesh that stopped up of earwax has a negative impact to the sound quality of audiphone.126 pairs of nets 128 of the 3rd protective cover provide the earwax protection, can sweep clean earwax at an easy rate.
Show, under the condition that does not depart from design of the present invention or principal character, can also implement the present invention by other special shape.Therefore above-mentioned example and embodiment all are considered to illustrative in all respects, rather than restrictive, and the present invention is not limited to details given here.
