Publication number: 20220377452Abstract: A speaker is provided. The speaker includes a housing. The speaker also includes a first diaphragm plate positioned within the housing and comprising a first driving device forming an exterior surface of the first diaphragm plate. The speaker further includes a second diaphragm plate positioned within the housing and comprising a second driving device forming an exterior surface of the second diaphragm plate. In addition, the speaker includes an insert plate fixedly attached to the housing and positioned between the first diaphragm plate and the second diaphragm plate. The insert plate includes an insert plate driving device positioned adjacent the first driving device and the second driving device. The insert plate driving device is configured to interact with the first driving device to move the first diaphragm plate relative to the housing and interact with the second driving device to move the second diaphragm plate relative to the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventor: George Shaolin Wei

Patent number: 10999665Abstract: A speaker includes a frame, a magnetic circuit and a deflectable diaphragm. The frame supports the magnetic circuit and the deflectable diaphragm. The magnetic circuit includes a yoke, permanent magnet, top plate and a voice coil former. The voice coil former includes a voice coil wrapped around a lower portion of the perimeter. In an embodiment, an inner wall of T-Yoke forms a through hole along the height of the T-Yoke. A lead wire fixture is positioned at least partially within the through hole. The lead wire fixture includes a cable that is spliced or stripped into one or more lead wires that electrically couples with the voice coil. In an embodiment, the cable, the lead wire fixture, and the lead wires are pre-assembled or integrated into a component. This integration helps to reduce the height and width of the speaker and helps to create a more compact speaker.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: GUOGUANG ELECTRIC CORP. LTD.Inventors: Hanxiong Huang, Hongfei Zhao, George Shaolin Wei

Patent number: 9967673Abstract: An acoustic transducer comprises one or more electromagnetic motors that drive one or more sets of multiple diaphragms to provide acoustically efficient loudspeaker systems having dimensions that allow use in applications that would be difficult or impossible with traditional transducers. The diaphragms may be driven directly, inertially or fluidically. If diaphragms are driven by rods that pass through holes in the diaphragms, noise may be generated by air that leaks through the pass-through holes. This noise may be reduced or eliminated by measures that reduce or eliminate the air leakage.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: TYMPHANY HK LIMITEDInventors: Andrew David Unruh, Robert J. True, Edward T. Norcott, Jr., Jens-Peter Axelsson, Alireza Jabbari, David J. Prince, Kenneth L. Kantor, Ioannis Kanellakopoulos, Shaolin Wei

Patent number: 9462388Abstract: An acoustic transducer includes a housing, a plurality of diaphragms suspended from the housing and separated into one or more groups, and one or more motors combined with the housing that operate in response to an electrical signal. The diaphragms of each group are driven by a respective motor to which all the diaphragms in the group are coupled and at least one motor has an indirect coupling with no direct mechanical connection to the diaphragms driven thereby. One or more electromagnetic motors that drive one or more sets of multiple diaphragms to provide acoustically efficient loudspeaker systems having dimensions that allow use in applications that would be difficult or impossible with traditional transducers.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: TYMPHANY HK LIMITEDInventors: Andrew David Unruh, Robert J.
