Abstract

A speaker box includes a housing with an accommodating space and a housing wall; a propping wall extending from the housing wall toward the accommodating space; and a speaker unit located between the housing wall and the propping wall for dividing the accommodating space into a front cavity and a back cavity. The speaker unit includes a diaphragm located in the front cavity for forming a front sound cavity cooperatively with the housing, a sound guiding channel communicating the front sound cavity with outside, and a through hole penetrating the propping wall and communicating the sound guiding channel with the back cavity. The speaker box further includes an elastic cover plate covering the through hole completely for absorbing vibration energy at a specific frequency. The Young'"'"'s modulus or strength of the elastic cover plate is smaller than that of the propping wall.

Claims

1. A speaker box, comprising:

a housing with an accommodating space and a housing wall;

a propping wall extending from the housing wall toward the accommodating space;

a speaker unit located between the housing wall and the propping wall for dividing the accommodating space into a front cavity and a back cavity, the speaker unit including a diaphragm located in the front cavity for forming a front sound cavity cooperatively with the housing, a sound guiding channel communicating the front sound cavity with outside, and a through hole penetrating the propping wall and communicating the sound guiding channel with the back cavity;

an elastic cover plate covering the through hole completely for absorbing vibration energy at a specific frequency, a Young'"'"'s modulus or strength of the elastic cover plate being smaller than that of the propping wall.

2. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the elastic cover plate is fixed at a side of the propping wall near the back cavity.

3. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the elastic cover plate is fixed at a side of the sound guiding channel near the back cavity.

4. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the elastic cover plate and the propping wall are fixedly connected by double-shot molding or hot pressing or pasting or ultrasonic welding.

5. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the elastic cover plate and the propping wall are integrated structures.

6. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the specific resonant frequency is 500˜

15000 Hz.

7. The speaker box as described in claim 6, wherein the specific resonant frequency is 3000˜

9000 Hz.

8. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the elastic cover plate is made of TPU or MCP or silica gel.

9. The speaker box as described in claim 1 further including a dust screen affixed outside of the sound guiding channel.

10. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a lower cover and an upper cover forming the accommodation space, the upper cover comprises a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall extending along the bottom wall, the propping wall is formed with the first side wall bending and extending toward the second side wall, the speaker unit is held between the propping wall and the second side wall, and the propping wall, the bottom wall and the first side wall cooperatively form the sound guiding channel.
