- the frame body 2 according to the present embodiment includes an upper frame member 21 and a lower frame member 22 that is thicker than the upper frame member 21, as shown in FIG. 1B.
- the “thickness of the frame member” is a thickness in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the vibrating body 3a (that is, the Z-axis direction).
- each frame member 21 and 22 shifts
- the vibration wave propagated from the vibrating body 3a to the frame body 2 differs in resonance frequency.
- the two frame members 21 and 22 are reflected at different frequencies.
- the vibration of the composite vibration body constituted by the vibration body 3a, the piezoelectric element 5, the resin material 7 and the damping material 8 that vibrate integrally is disturbed at different frequencies by the reflected waves from the frame members 21 and 22, respectively. Therefore, the difference between the resonance peak and the dip in the frequency characteristic of sound pressure is suppressed, and the frequency characteristic can be flattened. Therefore, the sound quality can be improved by flattening the sound pressure.

Therefore, it is difficult to apply an external force to the piezoelectric element 5, and the piezoelectric element 5 Can be prevented from being damaged. Further, when the composite vibration body vibrates, the frame body 2 is deformed along with the vibration, and the diameter of the frame body 2 changes, but by making the upper frame member 21 thicker than the piezoelectric element 5, It becomes difficult for stress to be transmitted to the frame 2. That is, since the frame 2 is difficult to bend, deterioration of sound quality due to the bending of the frame 2 can be suppressed.
- the resin material 7 is provided on the entire inner circumference of the upper frame member 21. If the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame member 21 is exposed from the resin material 7, the sound signal output from the surface of the resin material 7 may be reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame member 21 to deteriorate the sound quality. There is. On the other hand, since the audio signal is hardly reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the upper frame member 21 by providing the resin material 7 on the entire inner peripheral surface of the upper frame member 21 as in this embodiment, the sound quality is deteriorated. Can be prevented.

However, at least the resin material over the entire inner periphery of the upper frame member 21 is shown. 7 need only be provided, and the internal space S is not necessarily filled with the resin material 7. This will be described later.
- the damping material 8 is attached to the surface of the vibrating body 3a on the side where the thick lower frame member 22 is disposed, of the two frame members 21 and 22. .
- the thicker lower frame member 22 is less likely to be deformed by stress, that is, has a higher damping effect. Therefore, the lower frame member 22 on the side where the lower frame member 22 is disposed By providing the damping material 8, the resonance phenomenon can be effectively suppressed by the synergistic effect of the lower frame member 22 and the damping material 8. The same effect can be obtained by increasing the width of the lower frame member 22 instead of increasing the width described later.

- the exciter is the piezoelectric element 5
- the exciter is not limited to the piezoelectric element, and a function that vibrates when an electric signal is input thereto.
- an electrodynamic exciter, an electrostatic exciter, or an electromagnetic exciter well known as an exciter for vibrating a speaker may be used.
- the electrodynamic exciter is such that an electric current is passed through a coil disposed between the magnetic poles of a permanent magnet to vibrate the coil.
- the electrostatic exciter is composed of two metals facing each other. A bias and an electric signal are passed through the plate to vibrate the metal plate, and an electromagnetic exciter is an electric signal that is passed through the coil to vibrate a thin iron plate.

Abstract
Description
この結果、一体的に振動する振動体3a、圧電素子5、樹脂材7およびダンピング材8によって構成される複合振動体の振動が、枠部材21、22からの反射波によってそれぞれ異なる周波数で乱されることとなるため、音圧の周波数特性における共振ピークとディップとの差が抑制され周波数特性を平坦化することができる。よって、音圧の平坦化による音質の向上を図ることができる。
