  • the magnetic structure is internal
  • the magnetic structure is external
  • the magnetic structure is cylindrically symmetrical
  • the dimensions and magnetizations of the internal magnetic structure are independent of those of the external magnetic structure (indeed, apart from the case of a cylindrical symmetry, more generally the internal structure creates its own uniform field with its own dimensions and the external structure creates its own uniform field with its own dimensions, the total field being the sum of the two, always uniform, in general the possible defects of one structure can be compensated by the other structure)

  • An induction is considered to be substantially constant if it does not vary more than 1% and, preferably, even better, if it does not vary by more than 0.5%, over the height considered.

  • Figure 6 which represents a schematic vertical section of a loudspeaker
  • the loudspeaker 1 in Figure 1 comprises a coil 2 carried by a mandrel 3 secured to a membrane 4 and 4 'which is not detailed here and which are movable elements of the top speaker.
  • the coil is immersed in a static magnetic field in an air gap (the term gap is used generically even if there is no iron for looping of the magnetic field outside the gap in the engine of the invention which is without iron).
  • the magnetic field of the gap is created by a fixed magnetic structure 5 generating said magnetic field and which is here external.
  • a force is generated which causes displacements called excurations of the coil, mandrel and membrane.
  • the other elements of the speaker such as the salad bowl or the / the mechanical suspensions ("spider" in particular) are not shown for reasons of simplification.
  • the magnetic structure is in this external example because to the outside of the mandrel 3 door coil 2 (the axis 6 of cylindrical symmetry of the loudspeaker 1 is considered central and is inward relative to the mandrel / coil).
  • the magnetic structure comprises a stack of three magnets, an intermediate 8 and two top cover 7 and bottom 9, of the same radial magnetic polarization (horizontal in Figure 1): the signs of the polar faces on the air gap are identical (either North, be south).
  • the width (horizontal measurement in Figure 1) of all these magnets is identical.
  • the intermediate magnet 8 has a remanent magnetization less than that of each of the two overlapping magnets 5 and 9.
  • the upper (upper) and lower (lower) (lower) ) sandwich the intermediate magnet 8, all these magnets being contiguous to each other.
  • the loudspeaker of FIG. 1 implements two rings with radial magnetic polarizations (covering magnets 7 and 9), one above and one below the magnetic biasing intermediate magnet 8. radial.
  • the magnets constituting these two rings 7 and 9 have a remanent magnetization greater than the remanent magnetization of the intermediate magnet 8.
  • magnet in the context of the invention covers both a single magnet and a magnet formed of the assembly of several elementary magnets. This last case is essentially considered for magnets with radial magnetic polarization (horizontal in the Figure) for which we can implement assemblies of elementary magnets (also called tiles) juxtaposed on a conference (or ellipse or other depending on the type loudspeaker).
  • the magnetic structure 5 is internal to the mandrel, that is to say disposed towards the center of the speaker relative to the mandrel.
  • two identical magnetic structures are implemented on either side of the mandrel. In the latter case, it is understood that since the diameters are different between the structure magnetic internal and external, the own magnetic fields generated can be different between the two structures.
  • the volumes of the magnets are adjusted to equalize these magnetic fields between the internal and external structures.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show variants in which the high covering magnets 7 ', 7 “and low 9', 9” have identical widths but width which is however lower ( Figure 2) or greater ( Figure 3) to that of the intermediate magnet 8 ', 8 "In the magnetic structures 5' and 5" of Figures 2 and 3, the cover magnets 7 ', 7 “and 9', 9” are arranged so that their polar faces the air gap are on the same plane as that of the intermediate magnet 8 ', 8 ".It is understood that this is valid for both an internal magnetic structure and external (with respect to the spool mandrel) so that the edge of gap be straight.
  • the intermediate magnet is N48 10mm high and 12mm wide and the cover magnets are N52 and each have a height of 3mm and a width of 10mm.
  • This configuration makes it possible to obtain a uniform magnetic field of 0.77 Tesla in a 2 mm wide gap at the coil-carrying mandrel (which is then approximately 1 mm from the edge of the gap).
  • the intermediate magnet 8 has a radial magnetic polarization (horizontal in the FIG.)
  • the magnetic polarizations of the high 11 and the low 12 overlapping magnets are, when they are axial (vertical on the Figure and therefore parallel to the axis of symmetry 6 of the speaker).
  • these magnetic polarizations of the covering magnets 11, 12 are opposed to each other. The signs of the polar faces of these three magnets are such that the generated magnetic field is preferentially directed towards the gap.
  • the looping (loopback) of the generated magnetic field is quoted air gap since the polar side of the air gap of the intermediate magnet 8 is of sign opposite to the sign of the free polar faces (high and low in the Figure) 11 and 12 overlapping magnets.
  • the remanent magnetization of the intermediate magnet 8 is greater than the remanent magnetization of each of the covering magnets 1 1 or 1 2.
  • a configuration according to FIG 4 with intermediate magnet 8 of 1, 4 Tesla and cover magnets 1 1, 1 2 of 1, 1 Tesla each, could be calculated and it generates a magnetic induction of 0.62 Tesla on 65% of the height of the intermediate magnet.
  • the dimensions and / or magnetizations of the internal magnetic structure are independent of those of the external magnetic structure. Two embodiments of this type have been shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. It will therefore be understood that all the combinations of size difference and / or magnetization between the internal and external structures are envisaged within the scope of the invention.
  • the global organizations of the magnetic polarization of the internal and external magnetic structures remain identical, ie all radial internally and externally (see FIG. 5 and 6) or both in axial + radial combination (see Fig. 7).
