Description

音響出力装置Audio output device

 本技術は音響を出力する音響出力装置についての技術分野に関する。 This technology relates to the technical field of audio output devices that output sound.

 耳等の頭部に装着されてヘッドホンやイヤホンとして使用されスピーカーユニットから音響の出力が行われる音響出力装置があり、音響出力装置は、近年、室内で使用される態様の他に、室外で使用される態様も増加している。 There are audio output devices that are worn on the head, such as the ears, as headphones or earphones, and sound is output from a speaker unit. In recent years, audio output devices have been increasingly used outdoors in addition to indoors.

 このような音響出力装置には、マグネットとコイルと振動板を有するスピーカーユニットが設けられ、磁気回路によって振動板が振動されることにより音響の出力が行われる所謂ダイナミック形の音響出力装置がある(例えば、特許文献1、特許文献2及び特許文献3参照)。 Such audio output devices include so-called dynamic audio output devices that are provided with a speaker unit having a magnet, a coil, and a diaphragm, and sound is output by vibrating the diaphragm through a magnetic circuit (see, for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

 音響出力装置においては、マグネットが取り付けられヨークとしても機能するフレームと称される部材の外周部に、振動板の外周部がダイヤフラムリングによって取り付けられ、振動板のフレームに対する安定した取付状態が確保されている。振動板のフレームに対する安定した取付状態が確保されることにより、磁気回路の駆動力によって振動板が安定した状態で振動され、音響の良好な出力状態が確保される。 In an audio output device, the outer periphery of the diaphragm is attached by a diaphragm ring to the outer periphery of a member called a frame, which has a magnet attached and also functions as a yoke, ensuring a stable attachment state of the diaphragm to the frame. By ensuring a stable attachment state of the diaphragm to the frame, the driving force of the magnetic circuit causes the diaphragm to vibrate in a stable state, ensuring good audio output.

 ところで、上記のような音響出力装置は頭部、特に、耳に装着されて使用されるタイプもあり、また、室外で使用される態様も増加しており、耳への装着性や持ち運びの利便性等を考慮した小型化の要望が高くされている。 However, some of the above-mentioned sound output devices are worn on the head, particularly on the ears, and are increasingly used outdoors, so there is a strong demand for miniaturization that takes into account the ease of wearing on the ears and ease of carrying.

 一方、音響出力装置は頭部に装着されるため、頭部に接触される部分の外形は丸みを有する形状に形成されており、限られたスペースの中に最大の口径を有するスピーカーユニットが配置されることが望ましい。 On the other hand, since the sound output device is worn on the head, the outer shape of the part that comes into contact with the head is rounded, and it is desirable to place a speaker unit with the largest diameter possible within a limited space.

 しかしながら、ダイヤフラムリングを用いて振動板がフレームに取り付けられる構成においては、ダイヤフラムリングの存在によって音響出力装置が大きくなり易い。 However, in a configuration in which the diaphragm is attached to the frame using a diaphragm ring, the presence of the diaphragm ring tends to make the acoustic output device larger.

 そこで、本技術音響出力装置は、振動板のフレームに対する安定した取付状態を確保した上で小型化を図ることを目的とする。 The aim of the audio output device of this technology is to achieve miniaturization while ensuring a stable attachment state of the diaphragm to the frame.

 本技術に係る音響出力装置は、環状のマグネットと前記マグネットが取り付けられたフレームと駆動電流が供給されるコイルと前記コイルが取り付けられた振動板とを有するスピーカーユニットを備え、前記振動板は音響の出力時に前記コイルと一体になって振動される振動部と前記振動部の外周に連続され前記振動部に対して前記マグネット側に屈曲された屈曲部とを有し、前記屈曲部には前記フレームの外周面に接合される接合部が設けられたものである。 The sound output device according to this technology comprises a speaker unit having a ring-shaped magnet, a frame to which the magnet is attached, a coil to which a drive current is supplied, and a diaphragm to which the coil is attached, the diaphragm having a vibration part that vibrates integrally with the coil when sound is output, and a bending part that is continuous with the outer periphery of the vibration part and is bent toward the magnet with respect to the vibration part, and the bending part is provided with a joint that is joined to the outer periphery of the frame.

 これにより、振動部に対してマグネット側に屈曲された屈曲部に設けられた接合部がフレームの外周面に接合されることにより振動板がフレームに取り付けられる。 As a result, the diaphragm is attached to the frame by joining the joint provided at the bent portion bent toward the magnet side relative to the vibrating portion to the outer peripheral surface of the frame.

 <音響出力装置の構成>
 先ず、音響出力装置1の構成について説明する(図1乃至図11参照)。
<Configuration of the Sound Output Device>
First, the configuration of the sound output device 1 will be described (see FIGS. 1 to 11).

 音響出力装置1は、例えば、一対で使用され、一方が左耳用として使用され他方が右耳用として使用される。但し、一つの音響出力装置1を使用して音響の聞き取りが行われてもよい。 The sound output devices 1 are used, for example, in a pair, one for the left ear and the other for the right ear. However, sound may be heard using a single sound output device 1.

 音響出力装置1は外筐として設けられたハウジング2とハウジング2の内部に配置された所要の各部とを有している(図1及び図2参照)。 The sound output device 1 has a housing 2 that serves as an outer case, and the necessary parts arranged inside the housing 2 (see Figures 1 and 2).

 ハウジング2は第1のケース3と第2のケース4が前後方向において結合されて構成されている。 The housing 2 is constructed by joining a first case 3 and a second case 4 in the front-to-rear direction.

 第1のケース3は後方に開口された凹状のケース部5とケース部5から前斜め側方に突出された音導用筒状部6とケース部5の後端部から上方に突出された端子用突部7とケース部5から側方に張り出された張出部8とが一体に形成されて成る。ケース部5は外面の全体が外側に凸の曲面状に形成されている。ケース部5は前後方向から見た形状が略円形状に形成され、内部の空間がユニット配置空間5aとして形成されている。 The first case 3 is integrally formed with a concave case section 5 that opens to the rear, a sound-guiding tubular section 6 that protrudes diagonally to the front side from the case section 5, a terminal protrusion 7 that protrudes upward from the rear end of the case section 5, and a protruding section 8 that protrudes to the side from the case section 5. The entire outer surface of the case section 5 is formed into an outwardly convex curved surface. The case section 5 is formed into a roughly circular shape when viewed from the front-to-rear direction, and the internal space is formed as a unit arrangement space 5a.

 音導用筒状部6は略円筒状に形成されている。音導用筒状部6の内部の空間は音導空間6aとして形成されケース部5のユニット配置空間5aに連通されている。音導用筒状部6には音導空間6aにマイク配置部6bが設けられている。 The sound-guiding tubular portion 6 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. The internal space of the sound-guiding tubular portion 6 is formed as a sound-guiding space 6a, which is connected to the unit arrangement space 5a of the case portion 5. The sound-guiding tubular portion 6 has a microphone arrangement portion 6b provided in the sound-guiding space 6a.

 端子用突部7には、例えば、三つの端子配置孔7aが形成されている。端子用突部7の後面側には三つの接続端子が実装された図示しない端子用基板が配置され、端子配置孔7aにそれぞれ接続端子が挿入されて配置されている。接続端子は、例えば、充電端子や通信端子等である。 The terminal protrusion 7 has, for example, three terminal arrangement holes 7a formed therein. A terminal board (not shown) on which three connection terminals are mounted is disposed on the rear side of the terminal protrusion 7, and the connection terminals are inserted and arranged in the terminal arrangement holes 7a. The connection terminals are, for example, charging terminals, communication terminals, etc.

 張出部8は後方に開口された浅い凹状に形成されている。 The protrusion 8 is formed in a shallow recess that opens to the rear.

 ケース部5は略円環状の周面部9と周面部9の前端部に連続された曲面状の閉塞部10とを有し、閉塞部10に音導用筒状部6が連続されている。閉塞部10は前方に凸の緩やかな略球面状に形成されている。 The case 5 has a substantially annular peripheral surface 9 and a curved blocking portion 10 that is connected to the front end of the peripheral surface 9, and the sound-guiding tubular portion 6 is connected to the blocking portion 10. The blocking portion 10 is formed in a substantially spherical shape that is gently convex toward the front.

 周面部9の内周部には後方を向く円環状の押さえ面9aが形成されている(図3及び図4参照)。周面部9の内周面は押さえ面9aの前側の部分が第1の周面9bとして形成され押さえ面9aの後側の部分が第2の周面9cとして形成され、第2の周面9cが第1の周面9bより外周側に位置されている。第1の周面9bと第2の周面9cは後方へ行くに従って外方に変位するように緩やかに傾斜されている。 A circular pressing surface 9a facing rearward is formed on the inner periphery of the peripheral portion 9 (see Figures 3 and 4). The front portion of the inner periphery of the peripheral portion 9 is formed as a first peripheral surface 9b, and the rear portion of the pressing surface 9a is formed as a second peripheral surface 9c, with the second peripheral surface 9c being positioned more radially outward than the first peripheral surface 9b. The first peripheral surface 9b and the second peripheral surface 9c are gently inclined so that they are displaced outward as they move rearward.

 ケース部5の内面側には周面部9と閉塞部10に亘る部分に保持溝11が形成され、保持溝11は周面部9の一部から閉塞部10を通り音導用筒状部6に向かう位置に形成されている。従って、周面部9における保持溝11が形成された位置は押さえ面9aと第1の周面9bと第2の周面9cが形成されていない非形成部9dとされている。 A retaining groove 11 is formed on the inner surface of the case 5 in a portion spanning the peripheral surface 9 and the blocking portion 10, and the retaining groove 11 is formed at a position that runs from a part of the peripheral surface 9 through the blocking portion 10 toward the sound-guiding tubular portion 6. Therefore, the position where the retaining groove 11 is formed on the peripheral surface 9 is a non-formed portion 9d where the pressing surface 9a, the first peripheral surface 9b, and the second peripheral surface 9c are not formed.

 第2のケース4は第1のケース3と反対側に開口された凹状の本体部12と本体部12から下方に突出されたステム部13とが一体に形成されて成る。 The second case 4 is integrally formed with a concave main body 12 that opens on the side opposite the first case 3 and a stem 13 that protrudes downward from the main body 12.

 本体部12は横長の形状に形成された第1のカバー部14と第1のカバー部14の上側に位置された第2のカバー部15とから成る。本体部12の開口部は第1のケース3の後端部と同じ形状及び大きさにされた周状結合部16として設けられている。 The main body 12 is made up of a first cover part 14 formed in a horizontally elongated shape and a second cover part 15 positioned above the first cover part 14. The opening of the main body 12 is provided as a circumferential joint part 16 that is the same shape and size as the rear end part of the first case 3.

 第2のケース4には、本体部12の内部に図示しないバッテリー(電池)が配置され、ステム部13の内部にフィードフォワードマイクとして機能する図示しないマイクロフォンが配置される。 In the second case 4, a battery (not shown) is placed inside the main body 12, and a microphone (not shown) that functions as a feedforward microphone is placed inside the stem 13.

 ハウジング2は第1のケース3のケース部5と第2のケース4の周状結合部16とが突き合わされて結合されることにより構成される(図1参照)。 The housing 2 is constructed by butting together the case portion 5 of the first case 3 and the circumferential joint portion 16 of the second case 4 (see Figure 1).

 第1のケース3のユニット配置空間5aにはスピーカーユニット17が配置される(図5参照)。スピーカーユニット17から出力される音響は音導用筒状部6の音導空間6aを通って外部へ向けて放射される。スピーカーユニット17はダイナミック形のスピーカーユニットであり、フレーム18とマグネット19と平板ヨーク20と保持部材21と振動板22とコイル23を有している(図5及び図6参照)。 A speaker unit 17 is placed in the unit placement space 5a of the first case 3 (see Figure 5). Sound output from the speaker unit 17 passes through the sound-guiding space 6a of the sound-guiding tubular portion 6 and is radiated to the outside. The speaker unit 17 is a dynamic type speaker unit, and has a frame 18, a magnet 19, a flat yoke 20, a holding member 21, a diaphragm 22, and a coil 23 (see Figures 5 and 6).

 フレーム18は磁性金属材料によって形成され、前後方向を向く円環状に形成されたベース板部24とベース板部24の外周部から前方に突出された円環状の連結部25と連結部25の前端部から外方に張り出されたフランジ部26とフランジ部26の外周寄りの位置から前方に突出された立壁部27とが一体に形成されて成る。 The frame 18 is made of a magnetic metal material and is integrally formed with a base plate portion 24 formed in a circular ring shape facing the front-to-rear direction, a circular connecting portion 25 protruding forward from the outer periphery of the base plate portion 24, a flange portion 26 protruding outward from the front end of the connecting portion 25, and a vertical wall portion 27 protruding forward from a position near the outer periphery of the flange portion 26.

 フランジ部26の外周部には立壁部27の外周側に前方を向く面が形成され、この面が受け面26aとして形成されている。フランジ部26の外周部には引き出し孔26bが形成されている。フランジ部26の外周面26cは後方へ行くに従って緩やかに外方に変位するように傾斜されている。 The outer periphery of the flange portion 26 is formed with a surface facing forward on the outer periphery side of the vertical wall portion 27, and this surface is formed as a receiving surface 26a. The outer periphery of the flange portion 26 is formed with a pull-out hole 26b. The outer periphery surface 26c of the flange portion 26 is inclined so that it gradually displaces outward as it moves rearward.

 立壁部27の外周面は後方へ行くに従って外方に変位するように緩やかに傾斜された傾斜面27aとして形成されている。 The outer peripheral surface of the vertical wall portion 27 is formed as a gently inclined inclined surface 27a that displaces outward as it moves rearward.

 マグネット19と平板ヨーク20は何れも円環状に形成され、前後方向において結合されている。マグネット19の前面には平板ヨーク20が取り付けられ、マグネット19の後面はフレーム18におけるベース板部24の前面に取り付けられている。 The magnet 19 and the flat yoke 20 are both formed in an annular shape and are connected in the front-to-rear direction. The flat yoke 20 is attached to the front surface of the magnet 19, and the rear surface of the magnet 19 is attached to the front surface of the base plate portion 24 of the frame 18.

 保持部材21は磁性金属材料によって略円筒状に形成され、フレーム18のベース板部24とマグネット19と平板ヨーク20に挿通された状態で前端部が平板ヨーク20に固定され後端部がベース板部24に固定されている。従って、スピーカーユニット17においては、保持部材21によってフレーム18とマグネット19と平板ヨーク20が前後方向において密着された状態で結合されて保持されている。 The holding member 21 is made of a magnetic metal material and is formed in a generally cylindrical shape, and is inserted through the base plate portion 24 of the frame 18, the magnet 19, and the flat yoke 20, with its front end fixed to the flat yoke 20 and its rear end fixed to the base plate portion 24. Therefore, in the speaker unit 17, the frame 18, the magnet 19, and the flat yoke 20 are joined and held in close contact with each other in the front-to-rear direction by the holding member 21.

 フレーム18とマグネット19と平板ヨーク20が結合された状態においては、フレーム18における連結部25の内周面とマグネット19及び平板ヨーク20の外周面との間に所定の空間としてギャップ28が形成される。 When the frame 18, magnet 19, and flat yoke 20 are joined together, a gap 28 is formed as a predetermined space between the inner circumferential surface of the connecting portion 25 of the frame 18 and the outer circumferential surfaces of the magnet 19 and flat yoke 20.

 振動板22は音響の出力時に振動される振動部29と振動部29に対してマグネット19側に屈曲された屈曲部30とを有している。 The diaphragm 22 has a vibration portion 29 that vibrates when sound is output, and a bent portion 30 that is bent toward the magnet 19 relative to the vibration portion 29.

 振動部29は前方に凸の略球面状に形成されたドーム部31とドーム部31の外周縁に連続された環状の外周部32とから成る。 The vibration part 29 consists of a dome part 31 formed in a roughly spherical shape that is convex forward, and a ring-shaped outer peripheral part 32 that is continuous with the outer periphery of the dome part 31.

 屈曲部30は外周部32の外周縁に連続された連続部33と連続部33に連続された接合部34とを有している。接合部34は連続部33に対して外側に略直角に折り曲げられた段差部34aと段差部34aに対して内側に略直角に折り曲げられた最外周部34bとから成る。連続部33は後方へ行くに従って外方に変位するように緩やかに傾斜され、最外周部34bも後方へ行くに従って外方に変位するように緩やかに傾斜されている。 The bent portion 30 has a continuous portion 33 that is continuous with the outer peripheral edge of the outer peripheral portion 32, and a joint portion 34 that is continuous with the continuous portion 33. The joint portion 34 is made up of a step portion 34a that is bent outward at a substantially right angle from the continuous portion 33, and an outermost portion 34b that is bent inward at a substantially right angle from the step portion 34a. The continuous portion 33 is gently inclined so as to be displaced outward as it moves rearward, and the outermost portion 34b is also gently inclined so as to be displaced outward as it moves rearward.

 コイル23は前端部が振動部29のドーム部31と外周部32の境界部29aにおける後面に接着等によって固定され、少なくとも一部がギャップ28に位置される。 The front end of the coil 23 is fixed by adhesive or the like to the rear surface of the boundary 29a between the dome portion 31 and the outer periphery 32 of the vibrating portion 29, and at least a portion of it is positioned in the gap 28.

 振動板22は、例えば、段差部34aがフレーム18の受け面26aに接着剤100によって取り付けられる(図7参照)。このとき段差部34aは第1のケース3の押さえ面9aによって前側から押さえられ受け面26aに押し付けられて接合される。 The diaphragm 22 is attached, for example, by the step portion 34a to the receiving surface 26a of the frame 18 with adhesive 100 (see FIG. 7). At this time, the step portion 34a is pressed from the front by the pressing surface 9a of the first case 3 and pressed against the receiving surface 26a to be joined.

 また、最外周部34bは少なくとも一部がフレーム18の外周面に接合される。このとき最外周部34bの少なくとも一部がフレーム18の外周面と第1のケース3における周面部9の内周面とによって挟持されていてもよい。尚、最外周部34bは少なくとも一部がフレーム18の外周面に接着されていてもよい。 Furthermore, at least a portion of the outermost portion 34b is joined to the outer peripheral surface of the frame 18. In this case, at least a portion of the outermost portion 34b may be sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the frame 18 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral portion 9 of the first case 3. Furthermore, at least a portion of the outermost portion 34b may be glued to the outer peripheral surface of the frame 18.

 上記のように音響出力装置1においては、第1のケース3に押さえ面9aが形成され、フレーム18に受け面26aが形成され、振動板22の接合部34に段差部34aが設けられ、段差部34aが押さえ面9aによって押さえられ受け面26aに押し付けられる。 As described above, in the sound output device 1, the pressing surface 9a is formed on the first case 3, the receiving surface 26a is formed on the frame 18, and a step portion 34a is provided at the joint 34 of the diaphragm 22, and the step portion 34a is pressed by the pressing surface 9a and pressed against the receiving surface 26a.

 従って、段差部34aが第1のケース3によってフレーム18に押し付けられた状態で接合部34がフレーム18の外周面に接合されるため、屈曲部30のフレーム18に対する安定した固定状態を確保することができる。 Therefore, the joint 34 is joined to the outer circumferential surface of the frame 18 while the step portion 34a is pressed against the frame 18 by the first case 3, so that a stable fixed state of the bent portion 30 to the frame 18 can be ensured.

 また、段差部34aが受け面26aに接着されているため、段差部34aが第1のケース3によってフレーム18に押し付けられた状態で段差部34aが受け面26aに接着され、振動板22のフレーム18に対する安定した強固な固定状態を確保することができる。 In addition, because the step portion 34a is adhered to the receiving surface 26a, the step portion 34a is adhered to the receiving surface 26a while being pressed against the frame 18 by the first case 3, ensuring a stable and strong fixation of the diaphragm 22 to the frame 18.

 尚、最外周部34bには厚み方向における両側にそれぞれフレーム18におけるフランジ部26の外周面26cと第1のケース3における周面部9の第2の周面9cとが対向した状態で位置されており、段差部34aの接着に代えて最外周部34bの先端部に接着剤100が塗布されてもよい(図8参照)。最外周部34bの先端部に接着剤100が塗布されることにより、塗布された接着剤100が最外周部34bとフレーム18の外周面26cとの間に回り込むと共に最外周部34bと周面部9の第2の周面9cとの間に回り込み、最外周部34bがフレーム18と第1のケース3の双方に同時に接着される。 Furthermore, the outer peripheral portion 34b is positioned such that the outer peripheral surface 26c of the flange portion 26 of the frame 18 and the second peripheral surface 9c of the peripheral portion 9 of the first case 3 face each other on both sides in the thickness direction, and instead of bonding the step portion 34a, adhesive 100 may be applied to the tip of the outer peripheral portion 34b (see FIG. 8). By applying adhesive 100 to the tip of the outer peripheral portion 34b, the applied adhesive 100 wraps around between the outer peripheral portion 34b and the outer peripheral surface 26c of the frame 18 and also wraps around between the outer peripheral portion 34b and the second peripheral surface 9c of the peripheral portion 9, so that the outer peripheral portion 34b is bonded to both the frame 18 and the first case 3 at the same time.

 このようにフレーム18の外周面と最外周部34bと周面部9の内周面とに亘る領域に接着剤100が塗布されることにより、接合部34のフレーム18に対する固定作業と接合部34の第1のケース3に対する固定作業とが同時に行われ、作業性の向上を図ることができる。 By applying adhesive 100 to the area spanning the outer peripheral surface of frame 18, outermost peripheral portion 34b, and the inner peripheral surface of peripheral portion 9 in this manner, the work of fixing joint 34 to frame 18 and the work of fixing joint 34 to first case 3 can be performed simultaneously, improving workability.

 尚、音響出力装置1においては、段差部34aと受け面26aの間に接着剤100が塗布された状態において、フレーム18の外周面26cと最外周部34bと周面部9の第2の周面9cとに亘る領域に接着剤100が塗布されてもよい。 In addition, in the sound output device 1, when the adhesive 100 is applied between the step portion 34a and the receiving surface 26a, the adhesive 100 may be applied to the area spanning the outer peripheral surface 26c of the frame 18, the outermost peripheral portion 34b, and the second peripheral surface 9c of the peripheral portion 9.

 また、音響出力装置1においては、屈曲部30に段差部34aが形成されておらず、屈曲部30の何れかの部分がフレーム18の外周面26cに接合されていてもよい。 In addition, in the sound output device 1, the step portion 34a may not be formed in the bent portion 30, and any part of the bent portion 30 may be joined to the outer peripheral surface 26c of the frame 18.

 第1のケース3のマイク配置部6bにはマイクロフォン35が取り付けられて配置される(図2参照)。マイクロフォン35はフィードバックマイクとして機能し、上記したフィードフォワードマイクとして機能するマイクロフォンとともにノイズキャンセリング機能を実行するためのマイクロフォンである。 A microphone 35 is attached and arranged in the microphone arrangement section 6b of the first case 3 (see FIG. 2). The microphone 35 functions as a feedback microphone, and is a microphone for performing a noise canceling function together with the microphone that functions as the feedforward microphone described above.

 マイクロフォン35は配線基板36の長手方向における一端部に実装されており、配線基板36の一端部にはマイクロフォン35の反対側に第1の補強板37が取り付けられている。配線基板36としてはフレキシブルプリント配線板が用いられている。第1の補強板37によって配線基板36が補強され、マイクロフォン35の配線基板36に対する安定した実装状態が保持される。 The microphone 35 is mounted on one end of the wiring board 36 in the longitudinal direction, and a first reinforcing plate 37 is attached to one end of the wiring board 36 on the opposite side to the microphone 35. A flexible printed wiring board is used as the wiring board 36. The first reinforcing plate 37 reinforces the wiring board 36, and the microphone 35 is maintained in a stable mounting state on the wiring board 36.

 配線基板36は長手方向における両端部を除く部分が第1のケース3に形成された保持溝11に挿入された状態で保持される(図9及び図10参照)。配線基板36は保持溝11に挿入されて保持されることにより、振動板22のドーム部31と外周部32に亘って位置される。 The wiring board 36 is held in a state where all of its length except for both ends are inserted into the retaining groove 11 formed in the first case 3 (see Figures 9 and 10). By being inserted and held in the retaining groove 11, the wiring board 36 is positioned across the dome portion 31 and outer periphery 32 of the diaphragm 22.

 配線基板36の一部には第2の補強板38が取り付けられている。第2の補強板38は配線基板36の厚み方向において第1の補強板37が取り付けられた側の面と同じ側の面に取り付けられている。即ち、第2の補強板38は配線基板36における振動部29の表面に対向する側の面に取り付けられている。 A second reinforcing plate 38 is attached to a portion of the wiring board 36. The second reinforcing plate 38 is attached to the same surface in the thickness direction of the wiring board 36 as the surface to which the first reinforcing plate 37 is attached. In other words, the second reinforcing plate 38 is attached to the surface of the wiring board 36 that faces the surface of the vibration section 29.

 第2の補強板38は保持溝11において周面部9の非形成部9dに配置されている。第2の補強板38が非形成部9dに配置されることにより、第2の補強板38の後面が周面部9の押さえ面9aと略同一平面上に位置され、第2の補強板38の後面が押さえ面9aと同様の機能を有する。 The second reinforcing plate 38 is disposed in the non-formed portion 9d of the peripheral portion 9 in the retaining groove 11. By disposing the second reinforcing plate 38 in the non-formed portion 9d, the rear surface of the second reinforcing plate 38 is positioned on approximately the same plane as the pressing surface 9a of the peripheral portion 9, and the rear surface of the second reinforcing plate 38 has the same function as the pressing surface 9a.

 従って、振動板22の段差部34aが押さえ面9aと第2の補強板38によって押さえられた状態で受け面26aに押し付けられる。 Therefore, the step portion 34a of the vibration plate 22 is pressed against the receiving surface 26a while being pressed by the pressing surface 9a and the second reinforcing plate 38.

 上記のように、音響出力装置1においては、マイクロフォン35にフレキシブルプリント配線板である配線基板36が接続され、第1のケース3には振動部29の表面に対向する位置に保持溝11が形成され、配線基板36が保持溝11に挿入された状態で保持されている。 As described above, in the sound output device 1, the wiring board 36, which is a flexible printed wiring board, is connected to the microphone 35, and the first case 3 has a holding groove 11 formed in a position facing the surface of the vibration section 29, and the wiring board 36 is held in a state where it is inserted into the holding groove 11.

 従って、配線基板36が振動部29の表面に対向して位置された保持溝11に挿入された状態で保持されるため、音響出力装置1の小型化を確保した上で配線基板36の良好な保持状態を確保することができる。 Therefore, since the wiring board 36 is held in a state where it is inserted into the holding groove 11 positioned opposite the surface of the vibration part 29, it is possible to ensure that the wiring board 36 is held in a good state while ensuring the compactness of the sound output device 1.

 また、配線基板36における振動部29の表面に対向する側の面に第2の補強板38が取り付けられ、第2の補強板38の一部が屈曲部30と第1のケース3の間において押さえ面9aに並んで位置されている。 A second reinforcing plate 38 is attached to the surface of the wiring board 36 that faces the surface of the vibration section 29, and a portion of the second reinforcing plate 38 is positioned next to the pressing surface 9a between the bent section 30 and the first case 3.

 従って、配線基板36が保持溝11に挿入された状態において第2の補強板38の一部が押さえ面9aに並んで位置されるため、第2の補強板38の一部を押さえ面9aとして機能させることが可能になり、振動板22と第1のケース3の間の良好な密閉状態を確保することができる。 Therefore, when the wiring board 36 is inserted into the holding groove 11, a portion of the second reinforcing plate 38 is positioned alongside the pressing surface 9a, allowing a portion of the second reinforcing plate 38 to function as the pressing surface 9a, ensuring a good seal between the diaphragm 22 and the first case 3.

 また、第2の補強板38は配線基板36の厚み方向において第1の補強板37が取り付けられた側の面と同じ側の面に取り付けられるため、配線基板36に対する第1の補強板37と第2の補強板38の取付作業が容易であり、作業性の向上を図った上で振動板22と第1のケース3の間の良好な密閉状態を確保することができる。 In addition, since the second reinforcing plate 38 is attached to the same side of the wiring board 36 as the side to which the first reinforcing plate 37 is attached in the thickness direction, the work of attaching the first reinforcing plate 37 and the second reinforcing plate 38 to the wiring board 36 is easy, and it is possible to ensure a good seal between the diaphragm 22 and the first case 3 while improving workability.

 上記のようにコイル23は振動板22に取り付けられた状態で少なくとも一部がギャップ28に位置されている。コイル23からはコイル23に電流を供給するための引き出し線39が引き出されており、引き出し線39は図示しない電源回路に接続されている。 As described above, the coil 23 is attached to the diaphragm 22 with at least a portion of it positioned in the gap 28. A lead wire 39 for supplying current to the coil 23 is drawn out from the coil 23, and the lead wire 39 is connected to a power supply circuit (not shown).

 引き出し線39は振動板22における屈曲部30の内周面に沿って位置され、続いて曲線状に屈曲されて後方に引き出されている。引き出し線39は屈曲部30の内周面に沿う部分が第1の部分39aとして設けられ、曲線状に屈曲された部分が第2の部分39bとして設けられ、振動板22から後方に引き出された直線状の部分が第3の部分39cとして設けられている。 The lead wire 39 is positioned along the inner circumferential surface of the bent portion 30 of the diaphragm 22, then bent in a curved shape and drawn out rearward. The portion of the lead wire 39 that is along the inner circumferential surface of the bent portion 30 is provided as the first portion 39a, the curved bent portion is provided as the second portion 39b, and the straight portion drawn out rearward from the diaphragm 22 is provided as the third portion 39c.

 引き出し線39は第3の部分39cがフレーム18のフランジ部26に形成された引き出し孔26bに挿通されて後方に引き出されている。 The third portion 39c of the pull-out wire 39 is inserted into the pull-out hole 26b formed in the flange portion 26 of the frame 18 and pulled out rearward.

 このように音響出力装置1においては、引き出し線39が振動板22の内周面に周方向において沿って位置された第1の部分39aと第1の部分39aに対して屈曲された曲線状の第2の部分39bとを有し、フレーム18の引き出し孔26bに挿通されている。 In this way, in the acoustic output device 1, the lead wire 39 has a first portion 39a positioned circumferentially along the inner surface of the diaphragm 22 and a curved second portion 39b bent relative to the first portion 39a, and is inserted into the lead hole 26b of the frame 18.

 従って、第1の部分39aがスピーカーユニット17の内周面に沿って位置され第2の部分39bが曲線状に屈曲され、引き出し孔26bに挿通されて引き出されるため、コイル23の振動部29に伴う振動時に引き出し線39に負荷が付与され難く、引き出し線39の損傷を防止することができる。 Therefore, the first portion 39a is positioned along the inner peripheral surface of the speaker unit 17, and the second portion 39b is bent in a curved shape and inserted into the pull-out hole 26b and pulled out, so that a load is not easily applied to the pull-out wire 39 during vibrations caused by the vibrating part 29 of the coil 23, and damage to the pull-out wire 39 can be prevented.

 上記のように、第1のケース3と第2のケース4の内部にそれぞれ所定の各部が配置されると、第1のケース3のケース部5と第2のケース4の本体部12とが結合され、音導用筒状部6にイヤーパッド50が取り付けられて音響出力装置1が構成される。イヤーパッド50が外耳道に挿入されることにより、音響出力装置1が耳に装着される。音響出力装置1が構成された状態において、スピーカーユニット17から出力された音響は音導用筒状部6の音導空間6aから外部に放出される。 As described above, once the specified parts are arranged inside the first case 3 and the second case 4, the case part 5 of the first case 3 and the main body part 12 of the second case 4 are joined and the ear pads 50 are attached to the sound-conducting tubular part 6 to form the sound output device 1. The sound output device 1 is worn on the ear by inserting the ear pads 50 into the ear canal. When the sound output device 1 is formed, the sound output from the speaker unit 17 is released to the outside from the sound-conducting space 6a of the sound-conducting tubular part 6.

 <スピーカーユニットと第1のケースにおける組付>
 以下に、スピーカーユニット17と第1のケース3における組付の手順等について説明する(図12乃至図14参照)。
<Assembly of speaker unit and first case>
The procedure for assembling the speaker unit 17 to the first case 3 will be described below (see Figs. 12 to 14).

 振動板22は樹脂フィルム、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(Poly ethylene terephthalate)等が図示しない成形用金型によって所定の形状に形成される(図12参照)。このとき、上記したように、連続部33と最外周部34bが後方へ行くに従って外方に変位するように緩やかに傾斜されている。 The diaphragm 22 is made of a resin film, such as polyethylene terephthalate, which is formed into a predetermined shape by a molding die (not shown) (see FIG. 12). At this time, as described above, the continuous portion 33 and the outermost peripheral portion 34b are gently inclined so that they are displaced outward as they move rearward.

 振動板22にはコイル23が取り付けられる。このときコイル23は各部が緩やかに傾斜された屈曲部30を基準にして位置決めされて振動板22に取り付けられ、コイル23の振動板22に対する高い位置決め精度が確保され、振動板22の中心軸とコイル23の中心軸とが一致される。 The coil 23 is attached to the diaphragm 22. At this time, the coil 23 is positioned based on the bent portion 30, each of which is gently inclined, and attached to the diaphragm 22, ensuring high positioning accuracy of the coil 23 relative to the diaphragm 22, and the central axis of the diaphragm 22 and the central axis of the coil 23 are aligned.

 振動板22はコイル23が取り付けられた状態で第1のケース3に後方から挿入されていく(図13参照)。このとき、第1のケース3の第1の周面9bと振動板22の連続部33とが何れも後方へ行くに従って緩やかに外方に変位するように傾斜されているため、連続部33が第1の周面9bに案内され、第1のケース3に対して振動板22が高い精度で位置決めされ第1のケース3における周面部9の中心軸と振動板22の中心軸とが一致される。また、第1のケース3の第2の周面9cと振動板22の最外周部34bとが何れも後方へ行くに従って緩やかに外方に変位するように傾斜されているため、最外周部34bが第2の周面9cに案内され、振動板22の第1のケース3に対する良好な組付性が確保される。 The diaphragm 22, with the coil 23 attached, is inserted into the first case 3 from the rear (see FIG. 13). At this time, since the first peripheral surface 9b of the first case 3 and the continuous portion 33 of the diaphragm 22 are both inclined so as to be gradually displaced outward as they go rearward, the continuous portion 33 is guided by the first peripheral surface 9b, the diaphragm 22 is positioned with high precision relative to the first case 3, and the central axis of the peripheral surface portion 9 in the first case 3 and the central axis of the diaphragm 22 are aligned. In addition, since the second peripheral surface 9c of the first case 3 and the outermost peripheral portion 34b of the diaphragm 22 are both inclined so as to be gradually displaced outward as they go rearward, the outermost peripheral portion 34b is guided by the second peripheral surface 9c, ensuring good assembly of the diaphragm 22 to the first case 3.

 続いて、マグネット19等が取り付けられた状態でフレーム18が第1のケース3に後方から挿入されていく(図14参照)。フレーム18が第1のケース3に後方から挿入されていくときには、フレーム18のフランジ部26が振動板22における屈曲部30の内側に挿入されていく。 Next, with the magnet 19 and other components attached, the frame 18 is inserted into the first case 3 from behind (see FIG. 14). When the frame 18 is inserted into the first case 3 from behind, the flange portion 26 of the frame 18 is inserted inside the bent portion 30 of the diaphragm 22.

 このとき、第1のケース3の第2の周面9cと振動板22の最外周部34bとフランジ部26の外周面26cとが何れも後方へ行くに従って緩やかに外方に変位するように傾斜されているため、外周面26cが第2の周面9cと最外周部34bに案内され、振動板22に対してフレーム18が高い精度で位置決めされ振動板22の中心軸とフレーム18の中心軸とが一致される。フレーム18はフランジ部26の外周面26cが振動板22の最外周部34bに対向又は密着される。 At this time, the second peripheral surface 9c of the first case 3, the outermost peripheral portion 34b of the diaphragm 22, and the outer peripheral surface 26c of the flange portion 26 are all inclined so as to be gradually displaced outward toward the rear, so that the outer peripheral surface 26c is guided by the second peripheral surface 9c and the outermost peripheral portion 34b, and the frame 18 is positioned with high precision relative to the diaphragm 22, so that the central axis of the diaphragm 22 and the central axis of the frame 18 are aligned. The outer peripheral surface 26c of the flange portion 26 of the frame 18 faces or is in close contact with the outermost peripheral portion 34b of the diaphragm 22.

 尚、フレーム18の立壁部27は振動板22における連続部33の内側に挿入されるが、立壁部27の外周面が傾斜面27aとして形成されているため、立壁部27が連続部33に干渉せずフレーム18が第1のケース3に円滑に挿入される。 The vertical wall portion 27 of the frame 18 is inserted inside the connecting portion 33 of the diaphragm 22, but because the outer peripheral surface of the vertical wall portion 27 is formed as an inclined surface 27a, the vertical wall portion 27 does not interfere with the connecting portion 33, and the frame 18 can be smoothly inserted into the first case 3.

 <まとめ>
 以上に記載した通り、音響出力装置1にあっては、振動板22が音響の出力時にコイル23と一体になって振動される振動部29と振動部29の外周に連続され振動部29に対してマグネット19側に屈曲された屈曲部30とを有し、屈曲部30にフレーム18の外周面に接合される接合部34が設けられている。
<Summary>
As described above, in the sound output device 1, the diaphragm 22 has a vibration section 29 that vibrates integrally with the coil 23 when sound is output, and a bending section 30 that is continuous with the outer periphery of the vibration section 29 and is bent toward the magnet 19 relative to the vibration section 29, and a joint section 34 is provided on the bending section 30 which is joined to the outer periphery of the frame 18.

 従って、振動部29に対してマグネット19側に屈曲された屈曲部30に設けられた接合部34がフレーム18の外周面に接合されることにより振動板22がフレーム18に取り付けられるため、振動板22のフレーム18に対する安定した取付状態を確保した上で音響出力装置1の小型化を図ることができる。 Therefore, the vibration plate 22 is attached to the frame 18 by joining the joint 34 provided on the bent portion 30, which is bent toward the magnet 19 side relative to the vibrating portion 29, to the outer peripheral surface of the frame 18, so that the sound output device 1 can be made smaller while ensuring a stable attachment state of the vibration plate 22 to the frame 18.

 特に、振動板22のフレーム18への取付がダイヤフラムリングを用いずに行われるため、限られたスペースの中に最大の口径を有するスピーカーユニット17を配置することが可能になり、スピーカーユニット17の呼び径の最大化を確保した上で音響出力装置1の小型化を図ることができる。 In particular, because the diaphragm 22 is attached to the frame 18 without using a diaphragm ring, it is possible to place a speaker unit 17 with the largest diameter in a limited space, making it possible to miniaturize the sound output device 1 while ensuring that the nominal diameter of the speaker unit 17 is maximized.

 また、音響出力装置1の小型化により、音響出力装置1の耳への装着性や持ち運びの利便性等の向上を図ることもできる。 In addition, by making the sound output device 1 smaller, it is possible to improve the ease of wearing the sound output device 1 on the ear and the convenience of carrying it around.
