图1是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的声学装置的示意图。
在一些实施例中,如图1所示,声学装置100可以包括扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121。其中,扬声器壳体110包含至少一个磁性元件,磁场传感器121用于读取空间磁场。
扬声器壳体110可以是用于容纳和保护磁性元件的外壳结构。在一些实施例中,扬声器壳体110的形状可以为长方体、类长方体、圆柱体、椭球状或其他规则以及不规则的立体结构,扬声器壳体110可以设计为一体式或分体式。在一些实施例中,扬声器壳体110的材料可以是金属、塑料、陶瓷等,使得扬声器壳体110具有良好的强度、耐磨性和抗干扰性能,有效保护内部的电子元器件(例如,磁性元件、下文的振动组件111)。
在一些实施例中,扬声器壳体110内还可以用于容纳振动组件111。振动组件111可以是声学装置100中将电信号转换为声音的扬声器。在一些实施例中,振动组件111的种类可以包括动圈式、电磁式、电容式、压电式等。具体地,动圈式/动铁式的振动组件111包括线圈以及可以作为磁源的永磁体,电流通过线圈时,与磁源产生的磁场相互作用,从而使振膜产生振动,发出声音;电磁式的振动组 件111包括可以作为磁源的电磁性元件,当通电时,线圈产生磁场,使电磁性元件吸引或排斥振膜,从而产生振动并发出声音;电容式的振动组件111不包括磁源,使用两个平行的电极板来驱动振膜,振膜通常为绝缘材料,两侧涂有导电材料,当电极间施加电压时,产生的电场力驱动振膜振动,发出声音;压电式的振动组件111不包括磁源,其通过采用压电陶瓷或压电聚合物作为振膜。当施加电压时,压电材料的形状发生改变,从而产生振动并发出声音。
磁性元件可以用于与磁场传感器121进行配合,识别磁性元件和磁场传感器121的相对位置的变化。在一些实施例中,磁性元件可以包括用于作为振动组件111磁源的磁性元件。磁源可以是指能够产生空间磁场且位于振动组件111内的磁性元件。在一些实施例中,磁源包括但不限于普通磁性元件、电磁性元件、永磁体等。例如,振动组件111为动圈式,磁性元件可以是永磁体;振动组件111为电磁式,磁性元件可以是电磁性元件。在一些实施例中,在振动组件111内设置为磁源的磁性元件产生的磁场可以被磁场传感器121检测,从而实现对磁性元件和磁场传感器121的相对位置的判断。在一些实施例中,对于压电式的振动组件111由于其本身结构不带磁性元件,则可以在扬声器壳体110内单独设置的一块或多块永磁体作为磁源。而对于动圈式/动铁式的振动组件111由于其本身的结构带有永磁体,则动圈式/动铁式的振动组件111内部自带的永磁体即可作为磁源使用。需要说明的是,扬声器壳体110内的磁性元件的数量可以是一个或多个。例如,振动组件111内包含磁源时,扬声器壳体110内可以不设置磁性元件,或者,扬声器壳体110内也可以设置一个或多个磁性元件。又例如,振动组件111内不包含磁源时,扬声器壳体110需设置至少一个磁性元件。
磁场传感器121可以用于读取空间磁场。空间磁场可以是指声学装置100的部件上带有的磁性元件和外界磁场所形成的复合磁场,例如,空间磁场可以为下文所述的第一扬声器111-1、第二扬声器111-2、磁吸接口123以及外界地磁等共同构成的复合磁场。关于复合磁场的说明内容可以参见图8及其相关描述。在一些实施例中,磁场传感器121可以读取到磁性元件和磁场传感器121在不同相对位置时的周围空间磁场的磁场强度的变化。在一些实施例中,声学装置100还可以包括控制电路,控制电路能够基于空间磁场强度的变化控制声学装置100的输出状态。具体地,可以将振动组件111(即下文所述的扬声器)自带的磁性元件或者单独设置的磁性元件作为磁源与磁场传感器配合使用。声学装置100的各部分(例如,扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121)相对位置发生变化,导致振动组件111内的磁性元件与磁场传感器121之间的距离和/或夹角发生变化,磁场传感器121测得的磁场强度也会有相应的变化。控制电路可以根据磁场传感器121检测的空间磁场的变化来控制声学装置100的输出状态。在一些实施例中,声学装置100的磁源相对于磁场传感器121的距离和夹角发生变化,该变化会导致空间磁场的变化,从而改变磁场传感器121处的总磁场强度或分量磁场强度。控制电路可以监测磁场传感器121处的磁场强度的变化,根据预先设定的磁场强度阈值区间来控制声学装置100的输出状态。关于根据磁场强度所在的阈值区间控制声学装置100的输出状态的说明内容可以参见下文,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,声学装置100还可以包括耳挂130。耳挂130是一种连接扬声器壳体110与磁场传感器121的部件,用于将声学装置100固定在用户的耳朵上。在一些实施例中,耳挂130可以为与人体耳廓和头部T连接处相适配的弧形结构,当用户佩戴声学装置100时,耳挂需要挂设在耳廓与头部T的连接处保持声学装置固定于耳朵上,此时声学装置100的扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121分别位于耳廓的前后两侧对用户耳朵产生夹紧力以保持声学装置100的佩戴稳定性。在一些实施例中,耳挂130可以由柔韧性较强、轻便、耐磨的材料制成,如硅胶、软塑料、钛合金或不锈钢等。
在一些实施例中,扬声器壳体110与磁场传感器121可以通过耳挂130直接连接。例如,可以用柔性材料(例如,硅胶等)对磁场传感器121进行包覆,包覆后的磁场传感器121通过耳挂130与扬声器壳体110直接连接。在一些实施例中,扬声器壳体110与磁场传感器121可以通过耳挂130间接连接。例如,声学装置100还可以包括功能件壳体120,磁场传感器121设置于功能件壳体120内,磁场传感器121通过功能件壳体120和耳挂130与扬声器壳体110连接。在一些实施例中,功能件壳体120还可以用于容纳声学装置100的其他部件,例如,电池、电路主板等。在一些实施例中,功能件壳体120可以采用圆柱形、长方形或其他自定义形状,以满足内部组件布局的需求。功能件壳体120的材料可以选用ABS塑料、金属合金或其他合适的材料,以确保轻巧、耐用且舒适佩戴。
在一些实施例中,磁场传感器121可以放置在声学装置100的主板仓或者电池仓(主板仓或者电池仓可以是指功能件壳体120所形成的仓体)内。例如,磁场传感器121放在主板仓内,将其直接贴装在主板表面且靠近振动组件111的位置,或将其贴在单独的PCB或FPC板上,再通过引线连接到主板上,从而接入声学装置控制芯片。在另一些实施例中,磁场传感器121还可以放置于耳挂130或下文的后挂140上。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过将磁场传感器121放置在声学装置100的主板仓或者电池仓 内可以不需要额外的引线,使得其更靠近振动组件111并能使自身声学装置保持相对稳定。
在一些实施例中,磁场传感器121可以包括霍尔传感器、各向异性磁阻传感器(AMR传感器)、巨磁阻传感器(GMR传感器)或隧道磁阻传感器(TMR传感器)。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过在声学装置100中设置磁场传感器121,并根据磁场传感器121读取空间磁场以控制声学装置100的输出状态,能够降低声学装置100功耗、延长声学装置100的使用时间。
此外,本说明书实施例中所描述的声学装置100可以应用于耳机、助听器、眼镜等可穿戴设备。控制电路根据声学装置的输出状态可以识别耳机、助听器、眼镜等可穿戴设备的佩戴状态。以声学装置100应用于耳机为例,耳机处于佩戴状态和非佩戴状态下,磁性元件和磁场传感器121之间的相对位置会发生变化,二者相对位置的变化导致空间磁场的变化时,声学装置100的输出状态变化,输出状态的变化可以对应于耳机的佩戴状态变化。例如,耳机处于非佩戴状态时,声学装置100的输出状态可以为第一输出状态,第一输出状态可以是指功能关闭状态,如关机、待机、停止播放音频;耳机处于佩戴状态时,声学装置100的输出状态可以为第二输出状态,第二输出状态可以是指功能工作状态,如开机、播放音频。
图2是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的声学装置的另一示意图。
如图2所示,在一些实施例中,磁场传感器121读取空间磁场在特定方向的磁场强度,控制电路根据磁场传感器121读取的磁场强度控制声学装置100的输出状态。其中,特定方向可以包括厚度方向X、长轴方向Y、短轴方向Z。在一些实施例中,X、Y、Z轴是以磁场传感器121本身为原点建立的坐标系的三个轴,厚度方向X平行于磁场传感器的厚度方向,且彼此正交的长轴方向Y和短轴方向Z。其中,长轴方向Y可以定义为磁场传感器121的形状中具有最大延伸尺寸的方向(例如,当磁场传感器121的形状为长方形或近似长方形时,长轴方向即长方形或近似长方形的长度方向),短轴方向Z可以定义为在磁场传感器121的形状中垂直于长轴方向Y的方向(例如,当磁场传感器121的形状为长方形或近似长方形时,短轴方向即长方形或近似长方形的宽度方向)。需要说明的是,上述特定方向除了厚度方向X、长轴方向Y和短轴方向Z,还可以是上述坐标系下的其他任意矢量方向。
在一些实施例中,振动组件111内的作为磁源的磁性元件可以产生空间磁场,磁性元件相对于磁场传感器121的位置发生变化,例如,声学装置100应用于耳机,耳机在自然状态下(即非佩戴状态)和佩戴状态下切换时会使磁性元件相对于磁场传感器121的位置发生变化,该位置变化会导致空间磁场的改变。在一些实施例中,空间磁场的改变可以是总磁场强度的改变,即厚度方向X、长轴方向Y、短轴方向Z上各自的磁场强度的矢量和的改变;空间磁场的改变还可以是分量磁场强度的改变,即厚度方向X、长轴方向Y、短轴方向Z的磁场强度的改变。在一些实施例中,振动组件111内的作为磁源的磁性元件和磁场传感器121之间的相对距离相对固定,二者距离改变不大,因此厚度方向X、长轴方向Y、短轴方向Z上各自的磁场强度的矢量和的改变也不大,相应地总磁场强度的改变也不大。而由于角度偏转导致的某一个轴(例如厚度方向X)的分量磁场强度增强,相应地另一个轴(例如长轴方向Y或短轴方向Z)的分量磁场强度减弱,故厚度方向X、长轴方向Y、短轴方向Z的分量磁场强度的改变比总磁场强度的改变大。基于此,可以通过磁场传感器121读取特定方向的分量磁场强度来控制声学装置100的输出状态。
在本说明书一些实施例中,磁性元件相对于磁场传感器121的位置发生变化,空间磁场在特定方向的分量磁场强度的变化量相对较大,根据特定方向的磁场强度的变化来控制声学装置100的输出状态,可以进一步提高声学装置100的输出状态的准确性。
阈值区间可以是指磁场传感器在特定方向的磁场强度取值范围(或者是后文中两个磁场传感器或两个磁场敏感件在同一方向上的磁场强度的差值的取值范围),该范围用于确定声学装置100的输出状态(例如,第一输出状态或第二输出状态)。在一些实施例中,控制电路可以判断磁场强度所在的阈值区间,并根据磁场强度所在的阈值区间控制声学装置100的输出状态。在一些实施例中,阈值区间可以包括第一阈值区间和第二阈值区间。磁场强度位于不同的阈值区间时,声学装置的输出状态不同。关于第一阈值区间和第二阈值区间的说明内容可以参见下文,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,磁场强度所在的阈值区间不同,则声学装置100的输出状态不同。不同声学装置100的阈值区间不同,阈值区间可以根据声学装置100出厂时的设置进行确定。具体地,声学装置100在出厂的时候,可以设置一个通用的阈值区间,并且利用人工头对每个声学装置100进行简单的校准确定出厂的初始值,后续以初始值为标准来确定阈值区间。例如,让声学装置100处于第一输出状态下(或将声学装置100应用于耳机,耳机处于非佩戴状态下),此时利用磁场传感器121测量声学装置100在特定方向(例如,X轴、Y轴、Z轴方向)的磁场强度,并将该磁场强度作为第一初始值,进而 以第一初始值为标准扩大一定范围并确定为第一阈值区间,该第一阈值区间即作为声学装置100在第一输出状态下(或耳机处于非佩戴状态下)的磁场强度所对应的阈值区间。当磁场强度位于该第一阈值区间时,可以控制声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态(或判断耳机处于非佩戴状态)。同理,让声学装置100处于第二输出状态下(或将声学装置100应用于耳机,耳机处于佩戴状态下),此时利用磁场传感器121测量声学装置100在特定方向的磁场强度,并将该磁场强度作为第二初始值,进而根据第二初始值确定第二阈值区间,该第二阈值区间即作为声学装置100在第二输出状态下(或耳机处于佩戴状态下)的磁场强度所对应的阈值区间。当磁场强度位于该第二阈值区间时,可以控制声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态(或判断耳机处于非佩戴状态)。其中,第一输出状态下的特定方向与第二输出状态下的特定方向保持一致。
在一些实施例中,阈值区间的影响因素包括但不限于声学装置100结构、声学装置类型(骨导、气导、骨气导)、磁场传感器121的位置、磁场传感器121的放置方式等。其中,声学装置100结构可以包括后挂式、开放式气导式(如图6所示的单耳声学装置)等。磁场传感器121的位置可以包括靠近或远离电路主板、靠近耳挂130与功能件壳体120连接部位的端部等;磁场传感器121的放置方式可以包括磁场传感器121在PCB上是水平放置、垂直放置或倾斜放置等。
仅作为示例,当磁场传感器121靠近电路主板时,振动组件111内作为磁源的磁性元件与磁场传感器121之间的距离和夹角在声学装置100的输出状态不同时(或声学装置100应用于耳机,耳机处于佩戴和非佩戴状态下)的变化较大,导致厚度方向X和长轴方向Y的分量磁场强度有明显的变化。例如,声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态时(或耳机在佩戴状态下),厚度方向X的分量磁场强度增大,而长轴方向Y的分量磁场强度能减小;而声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态时(或耳机在非佩戴状态下),厚度方向X的分量磁场强度减小,长轴方向Y的分量磁场强度增大;短轴方向Z的分量磁场强度变化相对较小。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过判断磁场强度所在的阈值区间来控制声学装置100的输出状态,可以降低声学装置100的功耗,延长使用时间。例如,声学装置100在未使用时(如耳机处于非佩戴状态),可以控制声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态;声学装置100在使用时(如耳机处于佩戴状态),控制声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态。
图3是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的声学装置的输出状态为第二输出状态的示意图。
在一些实施例中,阈值区间可以包括第一阈值区间和第二阈值区间,磁场强度位于第一阈值区间时,声学装置100为第一输出状态(声学装置100应用于耳机时,对应耳机处于非佩戴状态);磁场强度位于第二阈值区间时,声学装置100为第二输出状态(声学装置100应用于耳机时,对应耳机处于第一佩戴状态,即挂耳状态)。在一些实施例中,第一阈值区间和第二阈值区间之间存在一个的界限,以确保能够准确地控制声学装置100的输出状态(或判断耳机的佩戴状态)。例如,第一阈值区间对应的磁场强度范围处于该界限以下,声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态(或代表耳机处于非佩戴状态);第二阈值区间对应的磁场强度范围处于该界限以上,声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态(或代表耳机处于第一佩戴状态)。在一些实施例中,可以在第一阈值区间和第二阈值区间之间设置一个缓冲区(也叫第一缓冲区),以应对外界磁场干扰或磁场传感器121的误差。仅作为示例,第一阈值区间和第二阈值区间之间的界限的磁场强度为W1,为应对外界磁场干扰或磁场传感器121的误差,此时可以设置以该界限W1为中点的磁场强度范围作为第一缓冲区,例如[W1-A1,W1+A1],则磁场强度处于第一缓冲区[W1-A1,W1+A1]的磁场强度区间时,控制电路控制声学装置100的输出状态待定,而非确切的控制声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态或第二输出状态。
第一阈值区间是指在特定方向的磁场强度取值范围,该范围对应于声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态。
第二阈值区间是指在特定方向的磁场强度取值范围,该范围对应于声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态。参考图3,声学装置100为第二输出状态时,对应于耳机处于第一佩戴状态,第一佩戴状态是指将声学装置100或耳机挂在头部T声学装置正常佩戴于耳朵上的挂耳状态。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过磁场强度位于的阈值区间不同,可以准确的控制声学装置100的输出状态。
图4是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的声学装置的输出状态为第二输出状态的另一示意图。
在一些实施例中,阈值区间还可以包括第三阈值区间。第三阈值区间是指在特定方向的磁场强度取值范围,该范围对应于声学装置100应用在耳机上时,声学装置100为第二输出状态且对应于耳机的第二佩戴状态。参考图4,第二佩戴状态是指将声学装置100或耳机挂在脖颈B上的挂脖状态。即,声学装置100为第二输出状态时,对应于耳机可以有两种佩戴状态,第一佩戴状态和第二佩戴状态。在 一些实施例中,第三阈值区间和第二阈值区间之间存在一个的界限,以确保能够准确地区分耳机的两种佩戴状态。例如,第二阈值区间对应的磁场强度范围处于该界限以下,代表第一佩戴状态;第三阈值区间对应的磁场强度范围处于该界限以上,代表第二佩戴状态。在一些实施例中,可以在第三阈值区间和第二阈值区间之间设置一个缓冲区(也叫第二缓冲区),以应对外界磁场干扰或磁场传感器121的误差。仅作为示例,第二阈值区间和第三阈值区间之间的界限的磁场强度为W2,为应对外界磁场干扰或磁场传感器121的误差,此时可以设置以该界限W2为中点的磁场强度范围作为第二缓冲区,例如[W2-A2,W2+A2],则磁场强度处于第二缓冲区[W2-A2,W2+A2]的磁场强度区间时,控制电路将耳机的佩戴状态判断为待定,而非确切的第一佩戴状态或第二佩戴状态。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过设置第三阈值区间可以实现耳机的挂脖状态与挂耳状态之间的有效识别。
在一些实施例中,如图2、图3所示,声学装置100可以包括第一扬声器111-1与第二扬声器111-2。第二扬声器111-2内包含磁性元件时,第二扬声器111-2与磁场传感器121的距离也会对磁场分布造成影响。当磁场传感器121检测到的磁场强度位于第一阈值区间时,即声学装置100为第一输出状态时,此时第一扬声器111-1与第二扬声器111-2均与磁场传感器121的距离较近(一般小于5cm),第一扬声器111-1与第二扬声器111-2单独在磁场传感器121处产生的磁感应强度分别为B01和B02,忽略地磁场等外界干扰磁场时,B01、B02矢量叠加得到总磁场强度B0,其中,总磁场强度B0可以分解为对应磁场传感器坐标系X、Y、Z轴方向的三个正交分量磁场强度B0x、B0y、B0z。在一些实施例中,当磁场传感器121检测到的磁场强度位于第二阈值区间,即声学装置100为第二输出状态时,第二扬声器111-2远离磁场传感器121(距离通常大于14cm),第一扬声器111-1与第二扬声器111-2在磁场传感器121处产生的磁感应强度发生显著变化,此时X、Y、Z轴方向的三个正交分量磁场强度矢量叠加得到的总磁场强度为B1,各轴分量分别为B1x、B1y、B1z,通过对总磁场强度或者轴方向分量的测量,并设定合适的阈值区间,即可实现对声学装置100的输出状态的控制。
参考图2和图3,在一些实施例中,耳挂130与功能件壳体120之间形成第一夹角,第一阈值区间对应的第一夹角的值大于第二阈值区间对应的第一夹角的值。第一阈值区间对应的第一夹角可以是指磁场强度位于第一阈值区间即声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态(对应于耳机处于非佩戴状态)时,耳挂130与功能件壳体120长轴方向(图2的虚线)的夹角;同理,第二阈值区间对应的第一夹角是指磁场强度位于第二阈值区间即声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态(对应于耳机处于佩戴状态)时,耳挂130与功能件壳体120长轴方向(图3的虚线)的夹角。如图2所示,磁场传感器121检测到的磁场强度位于第一阈值区间时,耳挂130与功能件壳体120之间的空间夹角可以设为α0;磁场传感器121检测到的磁场强度位于第二阈值区间时,第一扬声器111-1与第二扬声器111-2与颞骨之间有一定的夹紧力,使得耳挂130发生一定偏转,此时耳挂130与功能件壳体120之间的空间夹角变为α1,如图3所示。因此,第一阈值区间对应的第一夹角大于第二阈值区间对应的第一夹角。在一些实施例中,可以将耳挂130(即耳挂130和功能件壳体120的连接处与耳挂130和功能件壳体120的连接处之间的部分耳挂130)近似看作直线,从而对耳挂130和功能件壳体120长轴方向的夹角进行测量并确定为第一夹角。在另一些实施例中,磁性元件和磁场传感器121之间的夹角可以作为影响磁场强度的另一参数,磁性元件和磁场传感器121之间的夹角会直接影响在磁场传感器坐标系下的各个轴向分量磁场强度。
在一些实施例中,声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态,且耳机处于如图4所示的第二佩戴状态即被挂在脖颈B时,耳挂130与功能件壳体120之间的夹角可以为α2,由于声学装置100或耳机本身的结构特性,其与脖颈B接触的是功能件壳体120而非扬声器(即振动组件111),因此第二佩戴状态下的磁场传感器121与扬声器之间的位置关系与第一佩戴状态下不同,即夹角α2≠α1,同时因为第二扬声器111-2与磁场传感器121之间的距离被缩短,因此第一佩戴状态和第二佩戴状态的磁场传感器121处的磁场强度不同,从而可以识别出耳机的第二佩戴状态。
可以理解的是,当声学装置100长时间使用后可能会发生的一些形变(来源于耳挂130中的钛丝的劳损度),这种形变可能会影响第一夹角,但形变导致的第一夹角的变化不足以导致声学装置100的输出状态(或耳机的佩戴状态的识别结果)失效。
在本说明书一些实施例中,耳挂130与功能件壳体120之间的第一夹角的变化能够导致磁场传感器121处的磁场强度发生变化,通过判断磁场强度所在的阈值区间即可实现佩戴状态识别。
图5是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的声学装置的另一示意图。
如图5所示,在一些实施例中,耳挂130可以包括第一耳挂130-1和第二耳挂130-2,扬声器壳体110包括第一扬声器壳体110-1和第二扬声器壳体110-2,第一耳挂130-1连接第一扬声器壳体110- 1,第二耳挂130-2连接第二扬声器壳体110-2。声学装置100还包括后挂140,后挂140连接第一耳挂130-1和第二耳挂130-2。在一些实施例中,后挂140可以为紧贴于人体头部T相适配的弧形结构,后挂140可以使声学装置100在用户头部T上保持稳定,并确保耳挂130与耳朵保持贴合。在一些实施例中,后挂140可以由塑料、金属或硅胶等制成。在一些实施例中,当用户佩戴后挂式声学装置100时,需要将后挂140置于头部T后方,使其环绕头部T并使得第一耳挂130-1和第二耳挂130-2紧贴于耳廓和头部T连接处。在一些实施例中,功能件壳体120可以包括第一功能件壳体120-1和第二功能件壳体120-2,第一扬声器壳体110-1和第一功能件壳体120-1通过第一耳挂130-1相连,第二扬声器壳体110-2和第二功能件壳体120-2通过第二耳挂130-2相连。
在一些实施例中,可以通过分量磁场强度判断后挂式声学装置的佩戴状态。
图6是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的声学装置的另一示意图。
在一些实施例中,扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121(或功能件壳体120)通过耳挂130夹持在耳廓两侧以保持声学装置100的佩戴。如图6所示,在一些实施例中,耳挂130可以为与耳廓适配的弧形结构,当用户佩戴如图6所示的声学装置100时,直接将耳挂130紧贴于耳廓和头部T连接处,此时扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121(或功能件壳体120)通过耳挂130夹持在耳廓两侧保持声学装置100的佩戴稳定性。在其他实施例中,扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121(或功能件壳体120)通过耳挂130夹持在耳廓两侧时,耳挂130也可以为耳夹式结构,扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121设置于耳夹的两端部,耳夹直接夹持在耳廓两侧。
在本说明书一些实施例中,图6中所示的声学装置的扬声器和主板可以在一个壳体(例如,扬声器壳体110)里,电池仓可以在另一个壳体(例如,功能件壳体120)里。如图6所示,将磁场传感器121放置在电池仓内,当声学装置100佩戴时,耳挂130发生一定形变,从而导致扬声器与磁场传感器121之间的相对位置(如夹角)发生变化,通过磁场传感器对磁场变化的测量,即可实现对声学装置的输出状态的控制。在本说明书实施例中,图6所示的声学装置中磁性元件与磁场传感器121之间距离的变化相对较大,距离变化产生的磁场强度变化能够淹没地磁场的干扰,故图6所示的声学装置可以用总磁场强度或分量磁场强度来控制声学装置的输出状态。
在一些实施例中,用户对图6中所示的声学装置进行佩戴时,需要将声学装置100上连接有扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器121(或功能件壳体120)的耳挂130进行一定的拉伸,使得扬声器壳体110和磁场传感器(或功能件壳体120)能够相向分离一定的距离,然后通过耳挂130的弹性夹持在耳廓两侧保持声学装置100的佩戴稳定性。在一些实施例中,磁性元件与磁场传感器121的距离发生变化会使得总磁场强度产生变化,而地磁场典型值大概为40-50VT,磁性元件与磁场传感器121的距离变化产生的磁场强度变化要高于地磁场典型值,才能淹没地磁场的干扰,因此优选地,磁性元件与磁场传感器121距离变化可以大于10mm。可以理解的是,图6中所示的声学装置100的体型较小,用户对耳挂130进行一定的拉伸,足以使得扬声器壳体110内的磁性元件和磁场传感器121的距离得到显著的变化,此时磁场传感器121处的总磁场强度也相应发生显著变化,因此可以根据总磁场强度的变化控制声学装置100的输出状态。
图7A是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的单磁场传感器示意图。
如图7A所示,在一些实施例中,声学装置100可以用单个磁场传感器121检测空间磁场的变化,磁场传感器121内设置有一个磁场敏感件S1。磁场传感器121内的磁场敏感件S1需要同时测量来自地磁场和振动组件111内磁源(例如扬声器内的永磁体)的分量磁场强度。磁场传感器121测量的总磁场强度分量是分量地磁场强度和分量磁源磁场强度的矢量叠加。具体地,如图7A所示,磁场敏感件S1测量到的分量磁场强度为Bx、By和Bz,其中:Bx=Bex+Bsx、By=Bey+Bsy以及Bz=Bez+Bsz。其中,Bex、Bey、Bez分别表示地磁场在磁场敏感件S1处的三轴向分量磁场强度,Bsx、Bsy、Bsz分别表示振动组件111内磁源在磁场敏感件S1处的三轴向分量磁场强度。由此可见,地磁场会对单个磁场敏感件S1处的磁场强度的结果(即Bx、By和Bz)产生干扰,导致声学装置100佩戴状态检测的准确性和稳定性受到影响。
图7B是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的双磁场传感器的示意图。
如图7B所示,在一些实施例中,声学装置100可以用两个磁场传感器121检测空间磁场的变化。两个磁场传感器121可以是两个独立的磁场传感器,也可以是一个磁场传感器121包括两个磁场敏感件,如图7B所示的S1和S2,控制电路可以对两个磁场敏感件S1和S2读取的空间磁场进行差分处理,并根据差分结果确定空间磁场的变化情况,从而控制声学装置100的输出状态。具体地,当使用双磁场传感器121时,磁场敏感件S1处测得的分量磁场强度为Bx、By和Bz,磁场敏感件S2处测得的分量磁场强度为Bx'、By'和Bz'。这两组分量磁场强度均为分量地磁场强度和分量磁源磁场强 度的矢量叠加。具体地,对于S1处测得的分量磁场强度:Bx=Bex+Bsx、By=Bey+Bsy以及Bz=Bez+Bsz;对于S2处测得的分量磁场强度:Bx'=Bex'+Bsx'、By'=Bey'+Bsy'以及Bz'=Bez'+Bsz'。其中,Bex'、Bey'、Bez'分别表示地磁场在磁场敏感件S2处的三轴向分量磁场强度,Bsx'、Bsy'、Bsz'分别表示振动组件111内磁源在磁场敏感件S2处的三轴向分量磁场强度。在一些实施例中,由于两个磁场敏感件之间的距离非常近,地磁场在双磁场敏感件之间可以近似看作是均匀磁场,则Bex=Bex'、Bey=Bey'、Bez=Bez'。其中,Bex、Bey、Bez分别表示地磁场在磁场传感器121内的磁场敏感件S1处的三轴向分量磁场强度;Bex'、Bey'、Bez'分别表示地磁场在磁场传感器121内的磁场敏感件S2处的三轴向分量磁场强度;将双磁场敏感件处测得的两组分量磁场强度进行差分处理,即将S2处测得的分量磁场强度Bx'、By'和Bz'分别减去S1处测得的分量磁场强度Bx、By和Bz,可以得到:dBx=Bx'–Bx=Bex'+Bsx'-Bex-Bsx=Bsx'–Bsx、dBy=By'-By=Bey'+Bsy'-Bey-Bsy=Bsy'-Bsy、dBz=Bz'-Bz=Bez'+Bsz'-Bez-Bs=Bsz'-Bsz,其中,dBx、dBy、dBz分别为双磁场敏感件处对两组分量磁场强度进行差分处理后得到的双磁场敏感件位置的三个轴向分量磁场强度差值,dBx、dBy、dBz可以表示双磁场敏感件处的实际空间磁场的各轴向分量磁场强度差值。从上述可知,对双磁场敏感件处测得的两组分量磁场强度进行差分处理后得到的实际磁场强度仅与声学装置100内磁源在双磁场敏感件的分量磁场强度有关,与地磁场等外界磁场强度无关。
在本说明书一些实施例中,使用两个或两个以上的磁场传感器121形成阵列,或者单个磁场传感器121中包含有两个或两个以上的磁场敏感件,可以提高对地球磁场等外界环境磁场的抗干扰能力。
在一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件的敏感轴平行。敏感轴是指磁场敏感件在空间中对磁场变化敏感的方向,包括磁场传感器121的厚度方向X、长轴方向Y、短轴方向Z。在本说明书一些实施例中,将两个磁场敏感件的敏感轴设置为平行,使得两个磁场敏感件在相同方向上对空间磁场变化具有相似的响应,有助于在进行差分处理时,更有效地消除外界磁场干扰。在另一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件的敏感轴可以呈一定角度进行设置(例如45度),使得两个磁场敏感件可以分别在不同方向上读取到空间磁场强度,通过计算得到空间磁场在不同方向(例如,X、Y、Z)上的分量,再由控制电路对两个磁场敏感件读取的空间磁场进行差分处理,并根据差分结果控制声学装置的输出状态。可以理解的是,不同于两个磁场敏感件的敏感轴为平行设置时,两个磁场敏感件的敏感轴设置成一定角度时,需要对差分处理的算法进行调整以适应敏感轴之间的角度差异,其同样能够消除地磁场等外界磁场的干扰,实现声学装置的输出状态的精准控制。在本说明书一些实施例中,通过两个磁场敏感件的敏感轴呈一定角度进行设置,可以使得两个磁场敏感件在磁场传感器121中设置更灵活。
在一些实施例中,至少两个磁场敏感件可以设置在电路主板和/或电池主板上,且位于靠近扬声器壳体110的半侧主板上。在另一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件还可以设置在柔性印刷电路板(FPC),并通过电线连接到主板。
在本说明书一些实施例中,将两个磁场敏感件直接放置在电路主板和/或电池主板上位于靠近扬声器壳体110的半侧主板上,可以降低需要布线的长度,减少声学装置的复杂度和故障率。
在一些实施例中,至少两个磁场敏感件彼此不重合。例如,两个磁场敏感件与同一磁性元件之间的距离不同。磁场敏感件与磁性元件之间的距离可以是指磁场敏感件的几何中心与磁性元件的几何中心之间的距离。又例如,两个磁场敏感件与磁性元件的相对位置角度不同。相对位置角度可以用磁场敏感件与磁性元件之间的连线(磁场敏感件的几何中心与磁性元件的几何中心的连线)与特定方向(例如,磁场传感器121的厚度方向X、长轴方向Y、短轴方向Z)之间所成的夹角表示。在一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件之间的距离相较于地磁场来说很近,所以地磁场等外部磁场在两个磁场敏感件之间的影响相对较小;而由于两个磁场敏感件彼此不重合,磁性元件产生的磁场在两个磁场敏感件处的磁场强度会有明显差异。可以理解的是,当两个磁场敏感件彼此不重合时,两个磁场敏感件检测到的磁性元件产生的磁场强度不同,这种差异可以更好地区分磁性元件产生的磁场强度变化和地磁场等外部磁场干扰。在本说明书一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件彼此不重合,使得磁性元件产生的磁场在两个磁场敏感件处具有不同的磁场强度,以便于对两个磁场敏感件读取的空间磁场进行差分处理,提高声学装置100的输出状态的准确性。
在一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件在磁场传感器121内彼此不重合会导致两个磁场敏感件的敏感轴方向与由磁性元件产生的穿过磁场传感器121的磁场线矢量方向之间所形成的空间夹角不同。这些差异可以使得磁场传感器121更好地区分磁场敏感件处的磁场强度变化和地磁场等外部磁场干扰。
在一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件之间的距离范围可以为0.1mm~20mm。在一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件之间的距离范围可以为0.1mm~10mm。在一些实施例中,两个磁场敏感件之间的距离范围可以为1mm~10mm。优选地,两个磁场敏感件之间的距离范围可以设置为1mm~5mm,在该距离范 围内地磁场等外界磁场在空间上的变化相对较小,则在这两个磁场敏感件之间的范围内,地磁场等外界磁场可以近似认为是均匀磁场。可以理解的是,在对两个磁场敏感件读取的空间磁场进行差分处理的过程中,两个磁场敏感件分别测量到的磁场强度之间的差异大小会影响差分处理的准确性,而由于地磁场等外界磁场在该距离范围内能够近似看作是均匀磁场,故地磁场等外界磁场对两个磁场敏感件的影响能够近似看作是相同的。因此,在对两个磁场敏感件读取的空间磁场进行差分处理时,来自地磁场等外界磁场的影响会相互抵消,从而突显出由声学装置100的磁源产生的磁场差异,此时差分处理能够排除外界磁场的干扰,提高声学装置100的输出状态的准确性。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过设置两个磁场敏感件之间的距离在合适范围内,可以使得地磁场等外界磁场在两个磁场敏感件之间能够近似看作是均匀磁场,以便于对两个磁场敏感件读取的空间磁场进行差分处理。
图8是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的磁吸接口的示意图。
如图8所示,在一些实施例中,声学装置100设有磁吸接口123,磁吸接口123设置在电路主板122上,且远离扬声器壳体110的半侧主板上,磁吸接口123与磁场敏感件(即磁场传感器121)之间的最小距离大于等于5mm。在一些实施例中,磁吸接口123可以是用于对声学装置100进行充电的磁吸充电接口。在本说明书实施例中,部分声学装置100可以设计成在电路主板122的尾部(电路主板122远离扬声器壳体110的半侧主板)设有一个磁吸充电接口即磁吸接口123,因为磁吸接口123中包含至少一颗永磁体,该永磁体也会在周围的空间形成一个磁场,因此磁场传感器121实际测得的空间磁场为第一扬声器111-1、第二扬声器111-2、磁吸接口123以及外界地磁等共同构成的复合磁场。其中,磁吸接口123相对磁场传感器121的位置是固定不变,因此磁吸接口123在磁场传感器121处产生的磁场为固定磁场,容易通过算法校准进行消除。在一些实施例中,当磁吸接口123在磁场传感器121处产生磁场强度过大时,会降低磁场传感器121对扬声器位置进行识别的灵敏度。因此,为了降低磁吸接口的影响,防止磁场传感器121超出量程,磁吸接口123与磁场传感器121的最小距离可以设置为大于等于5mm。在一些实施例中,为了降低磁吸接口的影响,防止磁场传感器121超出量程,磁吸接口123与磁场传感器121的最小距离可以设置为大于等于8mm。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过设置磁吸接口123,可以方便快捷地对声学装置100进行充电,而进一步通过合理设置磁吸接口123与磁场敏感件之间的距离,在保证对声学装置100方便快捷地进行充电的同时,还可以降低磁吸接口123产生的空间磁场对磁场传感器121读取的磁场强度的影响,从而提高磁场传感器121对磁性元件位置进行识别的灵敏度。
图9A是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的两个磁场敏感件的位置的示意图;图9B是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的两个磁场敏感件的验证结果示意图。
如图9A所示,在声学装置100中将两个磁场敏感件S1和S2的间距L1设置为2mm,两个磁场敏感件S1和S2的各敏感轴保持相互平行,并将两个磁场敏感件S1和S2放置在声学装置100的第一功能件壳体120-1内且靠近扬声器即扬声器壳体110的一侧。通过对两个磁场敏感件S1和S2的各轴向分量磁场强度进行差分处理(参见上文图7B以及相关内容),可以得到磁场传感器121处的实际三轴向分量磁场强度为dBx、dBy、dBz。如图9B所示,x轴表示声学装置100的输出状态(第一输出状态或第二输出状态),y轴表示磁场传感器121处的实际三轴向分量磁场强度dBx、dBy、dBz的大小,曲线S为对三个轴向分量磁场强度dBx、dBy、dBz进行综合计算处理得到,例如,曲线S上的值可以为dBx、dBy、dBz的求和平均值。从图中能够看出,dBx、dBy、dBz曲线与曲线S的变化情况同步或近似同步,当曲线S(或dBx、dBy、dBz)为高电平时,声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态(对应耳机为佩戴状态),当曲线S(或dBx、dBy、dBz)为低电平时,声学装置100的输出状态为第一输出状态(对应耳机为非佩戴状态)。可以理解的是,dBx、dBy、dBz均能够发生显著变化并准确反映声学装置100的输出状态(或耳机的佩戴状态)的变化,判断过程同理于曲线S。在本说明实施例中,在试验过程中,行走、跳跃、跑步、晃动等行为均未影响到磁场传感器121的判别结果,表明两个磁场传感器121或一个磁场传感器121封装有两个磁场敏感件S1和S2对声学装置100的输出状态的方案具有极高的稳定性和可重复性,对于地磁场等外界磁场干扰具有极强的抗干扰能力。
在一些实施例中,磁场传感器121可以读取空间磁场的总磁场强度,并根据总磁场强度控制声学装置100的输出状态。
图10是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的接近传感器放置在主板仓的示意图;图11是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的接近传感器放置在扬声器仓的示意图。
在一些实施例中,声学装置100还可以包括接近传感器124。如图10所示,接近传感器124可以设置在主板仓(即功能件壳体120所形成的仓体)中靠近人体的一侧。如图11所示,接近传感器 124设置扬声器壳体110内。在一些实施例中,接近传感器124可以用于检测人体皮肤的靠近,当接近传感器124靠近人体时,待测值发生显著变化,当待测值达到预设阈值时,可以控制声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态。以声学装置100应用于耳机为例,当用户佩戴耳机时,接近传感器124靠近人体皮肤,待测值发生变化直至达到预设阈值,此时可以控制声学装置100的输出状态为第二输出状态,此时对应耳机为佩戴状态。其中,待测值是指接近传感器124所测得的信号值(例如,电容值、光强度等),可以用于表示接近传感器124与人体皮肤的距离,以帮助控制声学装置100的输出状态(或判断耳机是否处于佩戴状态);预设阈值可以是用于控制声学装置100的输出状态的预设参数。在一些实施例中,预设阈值可以根据接近传感器124测量的信号值来设定。具体地,当声学装置100靠近或接触用户的皮肤时,接近传感器124的待测值会发生显著变化。当待测值超过或等于预设阈值时,此时可以认为声学装置100已经处于佩戴状态,控制电路控制声学装置100处于第二输出状态;反之,如果待测值低于预设阈值,则可以认为声学装置100处于非佩戴状态,控制电路控制声学装置100处于第一输出状态。在一些实施例中,可以联合使用磁场传感器121和接近传感器124来控制声学装置100的输出状态。例如,当控制电路判断磁场传感器121检测到各轴向分量磁场强度位于阈值区间,且接近传感器124的待测值达到预设阈值时,可以控制声学装置100为第二输出状态;否则控制电路控制声学装置100为第一输出状态。在一些实施例中,接近传感器124可以包括但不限于电容式接近传感器、光电式接近传感器等。
在本说明书一些实施例中,通过使用多种传感器融合的方案可以进一步提高对声学装置100的输出状态控制的准确性,从而降低声学装置100的能耗,延长使用时间;另一方面还能减少用户操作步骤,提高用户体验。
