  • Publication number: 20230370781
    Abstract: The present invention provides a microspeaker having a water drainage structure capable of rapidly discharging water, entering the microspeaker, to the outside. In the case of a woofer-tweeter speaker, water is discharged through the side and bottom of a housing, and in the case of a 1-way speaker, water is discharged through the side of a housing. In addition, the present invention provides a connection portion that is formed to position a plurality of soldering points, to which a woofer wire and a tweeter wire are bonded, not outside a driver but inside or at the boundary of a space formed by the driver in a TWS-type 2-way microspeaker. This secures design freedom and save space by reducing the overall length of a small speaker.

  • Patent number: 10448147
    Abstract: The inside of the housing of an acoustic device, such as an earphone, is divided into two or more spaces based on a driver. Diaphragms are disposed to cover a nozzle communicating with an ear of a user and a vent hole formed in the back of the housing. Optimum sound quality can be secured by adjusting the sizes of the spaces formed by the diaphragms and the housing and the locations where the diaphragms are disposed. When the housing is of a sealed type, low-band sound pressure can be effectively prevented from being lost.
