Abstract[English]
An audio transducer comprises a diaphragm, a transducer base structure and a diaphragm suspension system. The diaphragm suspension system has at least one contact hinge joint coupling the diaphragm to the transducer base structure to enable rotational motion of the diaphragm relative to the transducer base structure about an axis of rotation. A transducing mechanism operatively couples the diaphragm to transduce between electrical audio signals and sound pressure. In an embodiment, each contact hinge joint comprises up to four contact interfaces, with each contact interface having a pair of contacting surfaces moveable relative to one another. Other embodiments of diaphragm suspension systems, diaphragm structures, transducing mechanisms and audio devices incorporating the same are disclosed.[French]
Un transducteur audio comprend un diaphragme, une structure de base de transducteur et un système de suspension de diaphragme. Le système de suspension de diaphragme comporte au moins une articulation à charnière de contact couplant le diaphragme à la structure de base de transducteur pour assurer un mouvement de rotation du diaphragme par rapport à la structure de base de transducteur autour d'un axe de rotation. Un mécanisme de transduction couple de manière fonctionnelle le diaphragme pour effectuer une transduction entre des signaux audio électriques et une pression sonore. Dans un mode de réalisation, chaque articulation à charnière de contact comprend jusqu'à quatre interfaces de contact, chaque interface de contact possédant deux surfaces de contact mobiles les unes par rapport aux autres. D'autres modes de réalisation de systèmes de suspension de diaphragme, de structures de diaphragme, de mécanismes de transduction et de dispositifs audio les incorporant sont divulgués.
