## Background
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a multi-driver transducer, in particular to a multi-driver transducer having mutually-repelling magnets, symmetrical magnetic circuits, and symmetrical coil circuits, and belongs to the electrical field of electroacoustic transducers and electromechanical transducers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A main-stream conventional electroacoustic transducer or electromechanical transducer only has one magnetic gap and one coil, which constitute a moving-coil type driver. A multi-driver transducer having mutually-repelling magnets has two or more magnetic gaps and two or more coils, which constitute two or more moving-coil type multi-driver transducers.
Multi-driver transducers having mutually-repelling magnets belong to an existing technique. For example, in the technical solutions proposed by the inventor in PCT/CN98/00306, PCT/CN2008/072668, PCT/CN2009/070507, CN99114781.2, and TW88109796, etc., wherein moving-coil type multi-driver dynamic loudspeakers having one or more pairs of mutually-repelling magnets are disclosed. In JP09322294A, a three-driver technical solution comprising a pair of mutually-repelling magnets, three magnetic gaps, and three coils is proposed. The advantage of these technical solutions is that the transducer has high efficiency and strong driving power, but a drawback of them is that the transducer still has inductive load features and back electromotive force, resulting in high total harmonic distortion in the transducer, especially a woofer or subwoofer, wherein, at 1 W/1 m, it is hard for the total harmonic distortion (THD+N) to meet the criterion specified in the Chinese national standard of smaller than or equal to 6%, and the total harmonic distortion often reaches as high as 10%43% or even higher.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A first object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks in the prior art and a technical prejudice formed in the technical field of electroacoustics, and utilize two sets of symmetrical magnetic circuits and symmetrical coil circuits in the transducer or loudspeaker that has resistive load features or near-resistive load features in the technical solutions as disclosed by the inventor in CN200610020317.7, PCT/CN2008/072668, US2005/0099255A1, CN200510091936.0, CN200810169693.1, and PCT/CN2009/070507, etc. to constitute a transducer having a pair of mutually-repelling magnets and four drivers. Among the four sets of symmetrical magnetic circuits and symmetrical coil circuits in the transducer, every two sets of symmetrical magnetic circuits and symmetrical coil circuits can mutually offset the inductance of the coil circuits themselves in the transducer and back electromotive force acquired via induction, and thereby the total harmonic distortion of the four-driver transducer is improved unprecedentedly while great driving power and super-high efficiency are obtained in the transducer, wherein, the THD+N can be smaller than or equal to 3% and meet the Hi-Fi criterion for loudspeakers.
A second object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks in the prior art and a technical prejudice formed in the technical field of electroacoustics, and utilize two sets of six or more separately installed symmetrical magnetic circuits and symmetrical coil circuits in a transducer or loudspeaker that has resistive load features or near-resistive load features in the above technical solutions disclosed by the inventor to constitute a transducer having one or more pairs of mutually-repelling magnets and six drivers and more drivers in an even number, and thereby the total harmonic distortion of the transducer with six-driver, or 8-driver, or 10-driver can be improved unprecedentedly while much greater driving power and super-high efficiency are obtained in the transducer, wherein, the THD+N is expected to be smaller than or equal to 3%, and almost meets the Hi-Fi criterion for loudspeakers.
A third object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks in the prior art and a technical prejudice formed in the technical field of electroacoustics, and enable a small-diameter loudspeaker for example a 2-3 inches loudspeaker, to deepen its F0 to a lower frequency and obtain an excellent base sound reproduction effect, by substantially increasing the linear stroke of the loudspeaker while providing a technical solution for super-high driving power.

Adhesive is applied on the outer side of the lower pole plate 103B of the magnetic core of the first set of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 that is assembled by bonding, and the outer side of the lower pole plate 103B is bonded to a circular aluminum alloy partition 1020 made of an non-magnetic material in appropriate thickness; then, adhesive is applied to the other side of the circular partition 1020, and that side is bonded to the lower pole plate 103B of the magnetic core of a second set of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 that is assembled by bonding, utilizing a fixture; the polarities of the magnetic cores of the two sets of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 are shown in FIG. 3; thus, a coaxial and isodiametric magnetic core of a dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet four-driver loudspeaker having a pair of mutually-repelling magnets is formed. Adhesive is applied to the outer horizontal face 1180 of the inwardly protruding circular platform 1118, and the magnetic core is fixed to the identical axis Y-Y of the internally protruding circular platform 1118, frame 101, and bracket 181 (i.e., the vertical symmetry axis of the transducer).
A tubular magnetic yoke 113 coaxially mounted with the magnetic core is flush-mounted or fixed by bonding to the inner circumferential face of the tubular thin wall of the bracket 181 from top to bottom, and is positioned via bonding or fixed via fitting by the vertical positioning face 1820 and horizontal positioning face 1810, the other end of the tubular magnetic yoke 113 is embedded in the circular axial hole in the bottom of the frame 101 and is fixed by coupling or bonding to the frame 101, the two outer horizontal end faces of the tubular magnetic yoke 113 go beyond the outer polar face of the two upper pole plates 103A by 0.5-20 mm of value H respectively in axial height, the central axis of the inner circumferential face of tubular magnetic yoke 113 is vertical symmetry in relative to the central axis Y-Y of the upper pole plate 103A, permanent magnet 102, and lower pole plate 103B, four coaxial isodiametric annular magnetic gaps 110 are formed between the vertical circumferential face of the two upper pole plates 103A and the two lower pole plates 103B and the inner circumferential face of the tubular magnetic yoke 113, four coaxial and isodiametric coils 109 are inserted in the annular magnetic gaps 110, and the winding directions of the two coils 109 and the directions of current flowing through the coils in each set of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 are governed, so that the coil 109A and coil 109B generate electromotive forces F in the same direction at a working moment.
Thus, two sets of magnetic circuits with geometric shape and magnetic features in bilateral symmetry and vertical symmetry and two sets of coil circuits with geometric shape and electrical features in bilateral symmetry and vertical symmetry, with a pair of mutually-repelling magnets, are formed, with the bisector axis W-W at half axial height of the circular partition 1020 as a horizontal symmetry axis and the central axis Y-Y of the upper pole plate 103A, permanent magnet 102, and lower pole plate 103B as a vertical symmetry axis. As described in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, in each set of symmetrical coil circuits, the two coils 109A and 109B have winding directions opposite to each other after they are connected in series, and the two coils have the same cross-sectional area of electromagnetic wire, the same number of coil turns, the same coiling width, the same coil resistance, the same absolute value of coil inductance, and the same tension when winding; finally, the two sets of symmetrical and serially connected coil circuits are connected in parallel (not shown in this embodiment), and thus the two sets of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 constitute an inner magnet four-driver loudspeaker, . . . , that have a pair of mutually-repelling magnet and resistive load features or near-resistive load features, with the back electromotive forces in each set of serially connected coil circuits offsetting each other; in that way, another coaxial circular or annular partition 1020 made of a non-magnetic material in appropriate thickness is bonded to the outer side of the upper pole plate 103A of the second set of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01, and the other side of the circular or annular partition 1020 is bonded to the outer side of the upper pole plate 103A of a third set of dual magnetic gap and dual coil driver unit 01 of the transducer; thus, three or more sets of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 having mutually-repelling magnets are formed, and the first set, second set, third set, . . . , of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 take the same central axis Y-Y as a vertical symmetry axis, have the same coil framework, the same frame and bracket, the same tubular magnetic yoke, four, six or more coaxial isodiametric annular magnetic gaps 110 and four, six or more coaxial and isodiametric coils 109 matching the four, six or more coaxial isodiametric annular magnetic gaps 110; thus, an inner magnet multi-driver transducer having one or more pairs of mutually-repelling magnets, symmetrical magnetic circuits, and symmetrical coil circuits are formed.
It should be noted particularly that the thickness of the circular or annular partition 1020 made of a non-magnetic material is closely related with the thickness of the upper pole plate 103A and the lower pole plate 103B, and the thickness and magnetic energy product of the permanent magnet 102. The appropriate thickness described above refers to a specific thickness, and under this specific thickness, the influence on the vertical symmetry feature of the two sets of symmetrical magnetic circuits and the two sets of symmetrical coil circuits in each set of dual magnetic gap, dual coil driver unit 01 in this embodiment is negligible, and within allowable tolerance.
Furthermore, a ring of air venting through-holes 182 configured to vent the heat generated by the magnetic circuits and coil circuits and decrease the air damping in the vibrating system of the transducer are arranged in the annular groove of the bracket 181, and each of these air venting through-holes 182 has the same projected area that is as large as possible, provided that the physical dimensions and structural strength of the bracket 181 permit. To ensure that the symmetrical coils can be kept balanced dynamically during the up-down piston motion of the transducer, all air venting through-holes arranged in an annular array in the present invention have a circle center or center line arranged on the circumference of the projected circle of the coil framework 107 or coaxial and isodiametric coils, so that the coil circuits still remain in a required bilateral symmetry state when the vibrating system of the transducer vibrates up and down.
FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal sectional plan of Embodiment 2 of the inner magnet multi-driver transducer disclosed in the present invention.
This is an improved solution based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, and is applicable to a middle-diameter or large-diameter inner magnet multi-driver loudspeaker. In this embodiment, the upper pole plates 103A and lower pole plates 103B are four circular pole plates, and the permanent magnet 102 has an axial hole that matches the upper pole plates 103A and lower pole plates 103B. A through-hole or bolt though-hole is arranged at the central axis of the inwardly protruding platform 1118 of the bracket. When the two sets of dual magnetic gap, dual coil, and inner magnet driver unit 01 shown in FIG. 1 are assembled, a fastener 1710 made of a non-magnetic material (e.g., a 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel bolt) is inserted from top to bottom through all mating axial holes of a washer 172 made of a non-magnetic material, the upper pole plate 103A, the permanent magnet 102, the lower pole plate 103B, and the annular partition 1020 made of a non-magnetic material, and, with the aid of a non-magnetic nut 175 embedded in a recessed axial hole 170 in the bottom of the bracket 181, magnetic cores of the inner magnet driver unit 01 having one or more pairs of mutually-repelling magnets in this embodiment can be firmly bound with the bracket into an integral assembly by adhesive and the fastener.
As a variant of this embodiment, a bolt hole 1751 can be arranged at the central axis of the inwardly protruding platform 1118 of the bracket 181, and the magnetic core can be bound with the bracket into an integral assembly with a non-magnetic fastening bolt 1710.
For several other variants of this embodiment, please see FIGS. 3-5 and the description in the awarded Chinese patent CN200510091936.0 of the inventor.
In view that a medium-diameter or large-diameter inner magnet multi-driver loudspeaker usually has four or six drivers, its coil framework is usually very long. To avoid a coil chafing phenomenon incurred by radial deflection of the tail end of the coil framework when the coil framework moves in axial piston motion, a dual damper technical solution, in which two dampers are mounted at different heights in the axial direction, is employed in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, dampers 141-1 and 141-2 are mounted at different heights on the coil framework 107. The larger the spacing between the two dampers is, the higher the controlling force against radial deflection of the tail end (near the annular groove 163) of the coil framework 107 is, and the lower the probability that a voice coil chafing phenomenon occurs in the loudspeaker is.
In other aspects, the structure and working principle of this embodiment are identical to those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, and will not be further detailed here.
