Abstract

The present application discloses a speaker box. The speaker box includes a lower cover and an upper cover for forming an accommodation space for receiving a speaker. The speaker includes a diaphragm. The upper cover includes a top wall and a side wall extending from the top wall. The speaker box further includes a plate having a main body and a sealing ring. The plate is made of flexible material with a Young'"'"'s modulus smaller than a Young'"'"'s modulus of the upper cover.

Claims

1. A speaker box, including:

a lower cover;

an upper cover forming an accommodation space with the lower cover, the upper cover including a top wall and a side wall extending from the top wall;

a speaker accommodated in the accommodation space, the speaker including a diaphragm facing the top wall;

a front sound cavity formed between the speaker and the top wall;

a sound passageway communicating with outside of the speaker box;

a front cavity formed by the front sound cavity and the sound passageway;

a sound opening formed in the side wall for communicating the sound passageway with the outside;

through holes formed in the top wall and communicating with the front cavity;

a plate assembled with the top wall, the plate including a main body completely covering the through hole and a sealing ring extending from the main body adjacent to the sound opening along a direction from an outer side of the upper cover toward the lower cover to the sound opening, the sealing ring being positioned on the side wall and forming an aperture communicating with the sound opening;

wherein

the plate is made of flexible material with a Young'"'"'s modulus smaller than a Young'"'"'s modulus of the upper cover.

2. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the through hole further includes a first hole aligned with an edge of the speaker, and the plate includes a supporting portion extending from the main body toward the front cavity via the first hole for elastically abutting against the edge of the speaker.

3. The speaker box as described in claim 2, wherein the through hole includes a second hole aligned with the diaphragm and spaced from the first hole, and the plate further includes an extending portion extending from the main body via the second hole.

4. The speaker box as described in claim 3, wherein the through hole includes a mounting hole located between the first hole and the second hole, correspondingly, the main body includes a stiffening post for engaging with the mounting hole.

5. The speaker box as described in claim 2, wherein the first through hole includes at least two holes, and the top wall includes a protrusion located between the at least two holes for engaging with a fastening hole formed in the main body.

6. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the through hole communicates with the front sound cavity.

7. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein the main body is integrally formed with the sealing ring.

8. The speaker box as described in claim 1, wherein a portion of the speaker away from the top wall engages with the lower cover.
