A loudspeaker including a magnetic circuit including a magnetic gap, a voice coil body inserted in the magnetic gap, a diaphragm attached to the voice coil body, transmission members arranged on a lateral side of the extend magnetic circuit along the magnetic circuit with a predetermined gap to transmit an electric signal to be input to the voice coil body, and a housing made of a resin and integrated with the magnetic circuit and the transmission members. The transmission members include externally exposed portions and internally exposed portions.

Loudspeaker

A speaker diaphragm includes an edge formed from an elastomer, and a diaphragm body that is to be joined to the edge. A joint between the edge and the diaphragm body includes a melting portion between the edge and the diaphragm body.

Speaker diaphragm, speaker, speaker diaphragm manufacturing method, electronic device, and mobile body apparatus

A vibration component for loudspeakers includes a base layer, an intermediate layer, and a coating layer. The base layer has a front face and a rear face, has a first density, and is formed of a paper body containing a plurality of fibers. The intermediate layer has a first face joined to the front face of the base layer, and a second face on a reverse side of the intermediate layer from the first face, has a second density higher than the first density, and includes a plurality of cellulose fibers as a main component. The coating layer is provided on the second face of the intermediate layer, and includes an inorganic powder formed of a plurality of inorganic fine particles.

A loudspeaker diaphragm includes a woven fabric which is a base member, a sealing layer, and a coating layer. The woven fabric includes a first face and a second face on the reverse side of the woven fabric from the first face. The woven fabric is made into the shape of a diaphragm. The sealing layer is disposed on the first face of the woven fabric, and seals the mesh openings surrounded by warp threads and weft threads of the woven fabric. The coating layer is formed of a first composite material which is a mixture of a plurality of first short nanofibers and a first resin. The coating layer permeates the woven fabric from the second face of the woven fabric to the sealing layer.

Loudspeaker diaphragm, method of manufacturing same, and loudspeaker employing same

A loudspeaker diaphragm includes resin and hollow glass member particles contained in the resin. Further, a loudspeaker includes the above-described loudspeaker diaphragm, a magnetic circuit, a frame connected to the magnetic circuit, and a voice coil body having one end connected to the loudspeaker diaphragm and the other end disposed inside a magnetic gap in the magnetic circuit.

Loudspeaker diaphragm, loudspeaker, and production method for loudspeaker diaphragm

A loudspeaker device includes a loudspeaker unit and an enclosure. The loudspeaker unit outputs sounds mainly in a first direction, upon receiving an electric signal. The enclosure is configured with at least a part of an interior member of a movable-body device, and secures and accommodates the loudspeaker unit in the inside of the enclosure. The interior member includes a body part, and an accommodation part that accommodates the loudspeaker unit therein and is formed integrally with the body part. The accommodation part is larger in dimension along the first direction than the body part.

Loudspeaker device and movable-body device equipped with the same

A loudspeaker diaphragm includes a base layer and a coating layer. The base layer contains natural fibers. The coating layer is composed of bamboo cellulose nanofibers and is formed at least on the first side of the base layer. The coating layer has a thickness in the range of 3% to 15%, both inclusive of the sum of the thicknesses of the base layer and the coating layer.

Loudspeaker diaphragm, and loudspeaker, electronic device and mobile device including the diaphragm

The loudspeaker magnetic circuit is an external-magnet type, and has a magnet, an upper plate, and a lower plate. The magnet is sandwiched between the upper plate and the lower plate. At least one of the lower plate and the upper plate is formed of magnetic powder or a mixture of a magnetic powder and resin.

Magnetic circuit for loudspeaker, and loudspeaker using same

A magnetic circuit includes a magnet, a first plate, and a yoke, and has a magnetic gap. The first plate and the yoke are joined to the magnet. The magnet includes first and second magnet parts. The second magnet part has a lower magnetic property than that of the first magnet part. Such a first magnet part is disposed in a vicinity of the magnetic gap. On the other hand, the second magnet part is disposed farther from the magnetic gap than the first magnet part. The first and second magnet parts are connected in parallel to each other. With this configuration, the second magnet part makes a small contribution to the magnetic flux density in the magnetic gap. Therefore, the magnetic property of the second magnet part may be low, and an inexpensive magnet can be used as the second magnet part.

Loudspeaker magnetic circuit and loudspeaker using same

A bond magnet according to the present invention is anisotropic, and a magnetic field is oriented from a lowest edge of side surface of the bond magnet toward an upper section of side surface of the bond magnet. Further, the bond magnet is configured such that the upper section of side surface of the bond magnet is disposed closer to a yoke side surface of a yoke than the lower side surface of the bond magnet is, and the upper section of side surface of the bond magnet faces against the yoke side surface. With this, a magnetic gap is provided between the upper section of side surface of the bond magnet and the yoke side surface. Thus, it is possible to improve a magnetism characteristic of the bond magnet, and to achieve both of magnetic efficiency and productivity of a magnetic circuit for a speaker.
