Since the front end edge of the bobbin 44 and the front end edge of the sub-bobbin 51
assembled in this way are in contact with and fixed to the rear surface of the diaphragm 45 of
the diaphragm unit 46, the vibration of the coil 43 passes through the bobbin 44 and the subbobbin 51. And transmitted to the diaphragm 45. Specifically, the front end edge of the bobbin
44 and the front end edge of the sub-bobbin 51 abut on the rear surface of the recess 45 b which
is a portion projecting rearward, and are fixed by an adhesive or the like. A portion of the front
end edge of the bobbin 44 and the front end edge of the sub-bobbin 51 corresponding to the
rear surface of the convex portion 45 a is not in contact with the diaphragm 45 and is not fixed.
[0053]
Further, the dimension in the width direction of the sub-bobbin 51, that is, the distance between
the pair of opposing straight portions 51a is opposite in the second concave portion 45b2
shaped like an oval or oval ring having a major axis and a minor axis. It is set to be substantially
equal to the distance between the pair of linear portions. As a result, the entire front end edge of
the straight portion 51a of the sub-bobbin 51 abuts on and is fixed to the rear surface of the
linear portion of the second recess 45b2. Therefore, the sub-bobbin 51 abuts on and is fixed to
the diaphragm 45 over the wide range of the diaphragm 45, and the vibration is transmitted to
the wide range of the diaphragm 45.
[0054]
Further, in the portion where the corner portion 51b of the sub-bobbin 51 abuts and is fixed to
the rear surface of the first recess 45b1, the portion of the diaphragm 45 is fixed more than the
portion where the bobbin 44 is abutted and fixed to the rear Away from the longitudinal center.
Therefore, the sub-bobbin 51 abuts on and is fixed to the diaphragm 45 over the wide range of
the diaphragm 45, and the vibration is transmitted to the wide range of the diaphragm 45.
[0055]
As shown in FIG. 5C, the diameter of the bobbin 44 which is a cylindrical member is D, the
dimension in the longitudinal direction of the sub-bobbin 51 which is an elongated member is l,
and the diaphragm 45 which is an elongated plate member is Assuming that the longitudinal
dimension is L, the value of l is typically l 典型 2D, and L / 3 ≦ l ≦ L / 2.

[0056]
If it is attempted to transmit vibration to a wide range of the diaphragm 45 which is an elongated
plate-like member without using the sub-bobbin 51, two driver units 40 each including the
bobbin 44 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the diaphragm 45. It is conceivable to
arrange them side by side.
In this case, it is considered that the respective bobbins 44 or the driver units 40 are disposed at
positions where they are equally divided in the longitudinal direction of the diaphragm 45. That
is, the distance between the centers of two adjacent bobbins 44 is about L / 3, and the distance
between the distal ends of the two adjacent bobbins 44 is about L / 3 + D.
[0057]
Therefore, assuming that L / 3 ≦ l ≦ L / 2, vibration is applied to the diaphragm 45 over the
same range as when two driver units 40 not provided with the sub bobbin 51 are arranged side
by side by the sub bobbin 51. It can be said that it can be transmitted.
[0058]
Furthermore, the sub-bobbin 51 is a tubular member having an oval or oval cross-sectional shape
as described above, that is, a member having a closed cross-section.
Therefore, since the rigidity of the entire sub-bobbin 51 is high, the vibration is faithfully
transmitted to a wide range of the diaphragm 45.
[0059]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the rear wall 13 of the housing 11 is formed with a pair of
communication passages 15c extending in the longitudinal direction of the rear wall 13. One end
of the communication passage 15 c is connected to the tone control hole 15 b of the end wall
portion 15, and the other end is in communication with a closed space formed between the
housing 11 and the frame 31. Therefore, the sound pressure in various frequency bands can be
controlled by adjusting the length, cross sectional shape, size of the cross section, etc. of the
10-05-2019
17
sound quality adjustment hole 15 b and the communication passage 15 c. As a result, even if the
space between the housing 11 and the frame 31 as a closed enclosure, that is, the volume of the
space functioning as an acoustic space is small, the performance of the speaker device 10 is
sufficiently exhibited in a desired frequency band. be able to.
[0060]
Furthermore, the rear end surface of the unit case 40a is exposed to the outside through the
driver unit corresponding opening 13a. Therefore, the heat generated by the driver unit 40 can
be efficiently released from the rear end surface of the unit case 40a, so that the speaker device
10, particularly the driver unit 40, can be prevented from being overheated.
[0061]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the speaker device 10 includes the flat
diaphragm 45 and the driver unit 40 that vibrates the diaphragm 45. The diaphragm 45 has a
narrow and elongated planar shape. The driver unit 40 includes a coil 43 generating vibration, a
bobbin 44 transmitting the vibration of the coil 43 to the diaphragm 45, and a sub-bobbin 51
attached to the bobbin 44. The bobbin 44 is a rear surface of the diaphragm 45 The sub-bobbin
51 abuts on the rear surface of the diaphragm 45 over a range wider than the bobbin 44 in the
longitudinal direction of the diaphragm 45.
[0062]
Thereby, since the vibration generated by the coil 43 can be effectively transmitted to the entire
diaphragm 45, the depth dimension of the speaker device 10 can be reduced, and even if the
narrow and narrow front shape is adopted, the width direction can be obtained. Can be
controlled, sound pressure can be controlled in a wide frequency band, sharp bass and clear
medium / high tone can be reproduced, sound reproducibility is good, and the speaker is high in
sound quality An apparatus 10 can be provided.
[0063]
Further, the diaphragm 45 is provided with a recess 45 b that protrudes rearward, and the front
end edge of the bobbin 44 and the front end edge of the sub bobbin 51 abut on the rear surface
of the recess 45 b.

Thereby, the vibration of the coil 43 is faithfully transmitted to the diaphragm 45 via the bobbin
44 and the sub-bobbin 51.
[0064]
Furthermore, the bobbin 44 is a cylindrical member extending forward from the front end of the
coil 43, and the sub-bobbin 51 is a member having a closed cross-section attached to the front
end of the bobbin 44.
As a result, the rigidity of the bobbin 44 and the sub-bobbin 51 is enhanced, and the vibration of
the coil 43 is faithfully transmitted to the diaphragm 45. In addition, rolling of the bobbin 44 and
the coil 43 can be prevented.
[0065]
Further, the sub-bobbin 51 is a cylindrical member including flat straight portions 51a linearly
extending parallel to one another and corner portions 51b respectively connecting both ends of
the straight portion 51a, and the concave portions 45b are a pair of straight lines And the entire
front end edge of the straight portion 51a abuts on the rear surface of the straight portion.
Therefore, the sub-bobbin 51 abuts on and is fixed to the diaphragm 45 over the wide range of
the diaphragm 45, and the vibration is transmitted to the wide range of the diaphragm 45.
[0066]
Further, the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the sub-bobbin 51 is 1/3 to 1/2 of the
dimension in the longitudinal direction of the diaphragm 45. Thus, the vibration can be
transmitted to the diaphragm 45 over the same range as in the case where two driver units 40
not having the sub-bobbin 51 are arranged side by side.
[0067]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be variously
modified based on the spirit of the present invention, and they are not excluded from the scope

[0068]
The present invention can be applied to a speaker device.
