Abstract

An electromagnetic vibration device includes a vibrating plate, a suspending frame, upper and lower basin frames, a voice coil, and a magnetic loop system. Multiple voice coil fixing slots are uniformly distributed on the circumference of the vibrating plate corresponding to the inserting pieces of the voice coil, and the inserting pieces are passed through the voice coil fixing slots of the vibrating plate and fixed to the vibrating plate. One end of the lead of the voice coil is embedded in a groove on back of the vibrating plate and connected to the terminal of the lower basin frame.

Claims

1. An electromagnetic vibration device, comprising an upper basin frame, a lower basin frame coupling with said upper basin frame, a vibration member having a plurality of retaining slots, a suspension element extending between said vibration member and said upper basin frame, a voice coil which comprises a plurality of corresponding inserting members slidably passing through said retaining slots, wherein each of said inserting members has an upper bending portion arranged in such a manner that after said inserting member passes through said respective retaining slot, said upper bending portion of said inserting member is bent to interlock said voice coil with said vibration member.

2. The electromagnetic vibration device, as recited in claim 1, wherein said suspension element is radially and outwardly extended from said vibration member that an inner circumferential edge of said suspension element is overlapped with an outer circumferential edge of said vibration member to define an overlapped portion having a plurality of receiving slots thereat, wherein said upper bending portions of said inserting members are bent to receive at said receiving slots respectively.

3. The electromagnetic vibration device, as in claim 1 or 2, wherein said vibration member has at least a groove indently formed at a rear side thereof, wherein a lead wire of said voice coil is embedded in said groove to electrically couple with a terminal at said lower basin frame.

4. The electromagnetic vibration device, as in claim 1 or 2, wherein said suspension element is integrally extended between said vibration member and said upper basin frame during a suspension element mold injection process.

5. The electromagnetic vibration device, as recited in claim 3, wherein said suspension element is integrally extended between said vibration member and said upper basin frame during a suspension element mold injection process.

6. A method for manufacturing an electromagnetic vibration device, comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a vibration member by injection molding, wherein a plurality of retaining slots are integrally formed at said vibration member for a plurality of inserting members of a voice coil slidably inserting therethrough respectively;

(b) placing said vibration member and an upper basin frame in a mold, wherein during a suspension element mold injection process, a suspension element is integrally formed between said vibration member and said upper basin frame to form a one piece integrated vibration arrangement;

(c) bonding said vibration arrangement to a lower basin frame by one of a bonding process selected by the group consisting of ultrasonic welding, supersonic welding, and hot melting;

(d) slidably inserting said inserting members of said voice coil through said retaining slots of said vibration member respectively, bending upper bending portions of said inserting members to interlock said vibration member with said voice coil, guiding a lead wire of said voice coil to couple along a groove at a rear side of said vibration member so as to embed said lead wire of said voice coil at said rear side of said vibration member along said groove, and electrically coupling said lead wire with a terminal at said lower basin frame; and

(e) coupling a magnetic circuit system at said lower basin frame to magnetically induce with said voice coil.
