[ detailed description ] embodiments

An enclosure 1 according to the invention is described with reference to fig. 1.

The loudspeaker enclosure 1 is for example adapted to be integrated into a driver's cabin (not shown) of a motor vehicle (not shown).

The enclosure 1 comprises a cabinet 3, a loudspeaker 5 according to the invention and advantageously further loudspeakers 7, 9, 11.

In the example shown, the cabinet 3 has, for example, a general shape of a sphere, except for a substantially planar surface 13 surrounding the loudspeaker 11.

The speaker 7 is similar in structure to the speaker 5 and will not be described in detail. The loudspeaker 7 is advantageously fitted upside down with the loudspeaker 5 along the axis D of the loudspeaker 5. The loudspeaker 7 is for example a woofer, that is to say it is configured to emit over a passband extending for example from 15Hz to about 500 Hz.

The loudspeaker 9 is for example a midrange and tweeter, that is to say it is configured to emit over a passband extending for example from 200Hz to 25 kHz. The loudspeaker 9 has a protective grille 15, advantageously located in the continuation of the cabinet 3. The loudspeaker 9 is for example configured to emit directly in the interior space (not shown) of the motor vehicle cab.

The speaker 11 is also configured to emit in mid and high tones, for example, but in or more ducts (not shown) defined by the cab of the motor vehicle.

As can be seen in fig. 1, the loudspeaker 5 comprises a base 17, a magnetic circuit 19 defining at least gaps 21, an assembly 23 movable in translation along the axis D of the loudspeaker with respect to the base about an equilibrium position occupied when the loudspeaker is not in operation, and two suspension joints 25, 27 of the assembly.

In the example shown, the base 17 is sufficiently small. The base 17 is mechanically coupled to the housing 3.

The assembly 23 includes a membrane 29 configured to emit sound waves, a bobbin 31 secured to the membrane, a coil 33 secured to the bobbin and located in the gap 21, and a coupling member 35 also secured to the membrane.

The membrane 29 is for example convex, advantageously facing the outside of the loudspeaker 5. The membrane 29 is for example spherical, except for the peripheral edge 39.

The peripheral edge 39 is located opposite an edge 41 of the tank 3, which edge 41 defines an opening through which the membrane 29 extends.

The bobbin 31 and the coupling member 35 have, for example, a substantially cylindrical shape having an axis D.

Joints 25, 27 are similar in construction, and therefore only joint 25 will be described in detail below.

The joint 25 forms a resilient ring around the assembly 23.

In a section perpendicular to the ring, shown in fig. 2, the joint 25 comprises an th end 39A fixed to the assembly 23, a second end 41A fixed to the base 17, and a main portion 43 connecting the th and second ends and ensuring axial flexibility of the joint, the joint 25 defining a groove 45, this groove 45 being advantageously located below the edges 39, 41 of the membrane 29 and of the tank 3.

In the example shown, the joint 25 has an arched cross-section in the equilibrium position.

Ends 39A and 41A, respectively, form flanges that are oriented, for example, substantially radially and facilitate securement of joint 25.

The second end 41A is advantageously glued to the base 17, for example by means of a lower surface 47 directed towards the inside of the loudspeaker 5.

In the inoperative position, the th and second ends 39A, 41A are located at substantially the same height, e.g., axially.

The -th end 39A is, for example, glued to a washer 49, and the washer 49 is mechanically coupled to the coupling member 35.

-end 39A includes a distal portion 51 and a proximal portion 53 (FIG. 3) relative to main portion 43, distal portion 51 is radially closer to axis D than proximal portion 53.

The -th end 39A is, for example, glued to the inner surface 54 of the washer 49.

The distal portion 51 is more radially compressible than the proximal portion 53 and is radially compressed between the distal portion and the stop 55 of the washer 49.

By "radially compressed" is meant here that the distal part 51 receives pressure in the radial direction from both the proximal part 53 and the stop 55.

Distal portion 51 has a distal compressibility. The proximal portion 53 has a proximal compressibility. Advantageously, the distal compressibility is at least twice, preferably ten times or even hundred times, the proximal compressibility.

"compressibility" or "compressibility" generally refers to a magnitude of- (1/L) · (dL/dF), where:

l represents the extension (in meters) of the joint portion under consideration in the radial direction, and

f represents the force (in N/m) applied radially to the considered part per unit length of the considered joint, and

dL/dF is the derivative of L with respect to F.

The sign "-" enables a positive result because the derivative dL/dF is negative.

This magnitude represents the tendency to contract under the action of radial forces. Therefore, the distal end portion 51 is more easily contracted in the radial direction than the proximal end portion 53.

In the example shown in fig. 3, the distal portion 51 is formed by a lip 57, the lip 57 projecting radially inwardly from the proximal portion 53.

The lip 57 is bent against the surface 55 and is biased, for example, towards the interior of the loudspeaker 5.

The main portion 43 of the joint 27 is not directed towards the inside of the loudspeaker 5, but towards the membrane 29.

A method of mounting the connectors 25, 27 in the speaker 5 will now be described.

-th end 39A of tab 25 is coated with glue, tab 25 is then placed around assembly 23 to form a ring about axis D. the glued portion of -th end 39A is placed against lower surface 54 of washer 49. lip 57 is placed in bending abutment against radially outer surface 55 of washer 49.

Distal portion 51 of end 39A at is compressed radially against surface 55 as the loop formed by joint 25 is disposed about assembly 23.

The greater compressibility of distal portion 51 of -th end 39A of tab 25 enables the tab to center relative to assembly 23 and prevents -th end 39A from elongating about axis D in its lengthwise direction.

The greater compressibility of distal portion 51 also makes it possible to compensate for the fact that the diameter of end about axis D is too large or too small due to the manufacturing tolerances of joint 25.

The proximal portion 53 is secured to the assembly 23 by adhesive.

The second end 41A (fig. 2) is also bonded to the base 17.

The joint 25 is then in place and perfectly centered.

The same operation is performed for the joint 27.

By virtue of the above features, the joints 25, 27 are easier to place and their centering is easier, which reduces the risk of poor placement or stretching of the th end 39A of the joint in its length direction.

The sound quality and the ease of assembly of the loudspeaker 5 are thereby improved.

Joint 125 is described with reference to fig. 4 and constitutes th variation of joint 25 shown in fig. 2 and 3, these variations also advantageously apply to joint 27.

The joint 125 is similar to the joint 25. Similar elements will not be described again. Only the differences are described in detail below.

In joint 125, distal portion 51 has a distal thickness E1 along axis D. Proximal portion 53 has a proximal thickness E2. The proximal thickness E2 is strictly greater than the distal thickness E1.

This ensures that the compressibility of the distal portion 51 in the radial direction is greater than that of the proximal portion 53.

Preferably, the proximal thickness E2 is 3 times, preferably 10 times, the distal thickness E1.

The fitting 125 is installed in the same manner as the fitting 25.

Joint 225 is described with reference to fig. 5, and constitutes a second variation of joint 25 shown in fig. 2 and 3. The joint 225 is similar to the joint 25. Similar elements will not be described again. Only the differences are described in detail below.

In fitting 225, end A includes a distal portion 251 that is separate from proximal portion 53. in other words, fitting 225 is split into two pieces.

Distal portion 251 is adapted to be removed after fitting 225 is placed in position and has been centered relative to assembly 23.

To install the fitting 225, the proximal portion 53 is coated with glue and placed against the washer 49. After the centering is achieved, the distal end portion 251 is removed and does not remain in the speaker 5.

Joint 325 is described with reference to fig. 6, and constitutes a variation of joint 225 shown in fig. 5. joint 325 is similar to joint 225. in joint 325, distal portion 51 at end a does not constitute a separate element from proximal portion 53, but rather is connected to proximal portion 53 by a breakable bond 354.

Thus, after the joint 325 is placed in place, the distal portion 51 is separated from the proximal portion 53 and the distal portion 51 is removed from the speaker 5.

In all the above variants, the proximal portion of end A is made of, for example, a material different from that of the distal portion, for example, the proximal portion is made of SB (styrene-butadiene) with a hardness of 60 Shore A, while the distal portion is made of honeycomb-shaped EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer).

A variation of the joint 25 is described with reference to fig. 7, in which the second end 41A also comprises a distal portion 51 and a proximal portion 53, the proximal portion 53 being less radially compressible than the distal portion 51. In the example shown, this is obtained by means of a lip 357 similar to the lip 57 shown in fig. 3.

The distal portion 51 of the second end 41A is radially further from the axis D than the proximal portion 53.

According to other variants, the compressibility difference is obtained in a different manner, as explained above for the th end 39A.

In all the variants listed above, the greater radial compressibility of the distal portion of end 39A and/or second end 41A, respectively, is ensured by a lip, a lower axial thickness and/or a different material, these various possibilities possibly also being combined at .

All these variants make it easier to place and centre the joint, reducing the risk of incorrect placement of the joint or stretching of the th or second end in its length direction.
