At present, the design of electronic equipment with large screen and small thickness has become the mainstream of current development, on this background, the thickness of the receiver 500 also needs to be reduced to meet the assembly requirement of the electronic equipment, and if the thickness of the existing receiver 500 is reduced on the whole, the sound output effect of the receiver 500 is affected, by adopting the above structure, the thickness of the receiver 500 determines the thickness of the receiver 500 of the whole machine, in order to thin the thickness of the whole machine, the thickness of the single body of the receiver 500 needs to be reduced, so the tone quality of the single body of the receiver 500 is sacrificed, and thus the tone quality of the whole machine conversation is sacrificed. Because the conventional receiver 500 is assembled in a full-screen mobile phone, the structural design of the sound guide tube 516 is required, and the volume of the front sound cavity 504 of the receiver is large, which causes the high-frequency bandwidth to be narrow, so that the conversation sound quality of the receiver 500 is unclear.

The shape of the notch 515 is matched with the shape of the protrusion 5031, the protrusion 5031 penetrates from the lower end of the notch 515 and extends into the receiver front sound cavity 504, and the receiver front sound cavity 504 is communicated with the sound guide tube 516. The protrusion 5031 extends from the notch 515 to the front sound cavity 504 of the receiver, so as to reduce the volume of the front sound cavity 504 of the receiver, widen the high-frequency bandwidth, and make the conversation sound quality of the receiver 500 clearer. Meanwhile, the arrangement increases the volume of the sound cavity inside the receiver 500 without increasing the overall thickness of the receiver assembly 50, thereby further improving the sound output effect of the receiver 500.
