The vibrating plate 2 uses a spruce as the type of wood in this embodiment, and its size is approximately 400 mm in height. It is about 300 mm wide and 3 mm thick. Also, the surface of the vibration plate 2 is painted in the same manner as painting of an instrument such as a guitar.
In addition, as a material of the vibration plate 2, wood, metal, porcelain, glass, ceramics, etc. of another kind can also be used, and these can be replaced and used.

  6 to 8 show the vibration box 3.

FIG. 6 is a front view of the vibration box 3 and shows the front side surface 31. As shown in FIG.
On the front side surface 31, catches 81 and 82 for attaching and holding the hold medals 51 and 52 of the vibrating plate 2 are attached. The catchers 81 are located on the left and right of the front side 31, and the catchers 82 are located slightly below the center.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 6 of the vibration box 3. The overall configuration of the vibration box 3 and the arrangement of each member will be described based on this figure.
As shown in FIG. 7, the vibration box 3 is divided into two, and is constituted by two front and rear units of a front unit 35 having a front side 31 and a rear unit 36 having a rear side 32.
The front unit 35 and the rear unit 36 are integrated by bonding the bonding surfaces 351 and 361, which are inner surfaces, after the respective members are arranged.

First, the front unit 35 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, the bonding surface 351 of the front unit 35 is dug down in the direction of the front side surface 31 to form a recess 352. As shown in FIG. 6, the concave portions 352 are formed at two positions in the lateral direction. The driver 4 corresponding to the audio electrical signals of the left and right channels is attached to the recess 352.

At the bottom of the recess 352, a mounting portion 6 for mounting the driver 4 is formed. The mounting portion 6 is a flat plate having substantially the same size as the driver 4, and a groove-shaped portion having a small thickness with the front side surface 31 is formed around the mounting portion 6. It is higher than the bottom of the
Further, the upper surface of the mounting portion 6 is substantially parallel to the front side surface 31, and the mounting portion 6 is easily vibrated in the direction of the front side surface 31 by forming a thin portion around the mounting portion 6. The vibration is efficiently transmitted to the front side surface 31.

As shown in FIG. 6, mounting holes 71 and 72 for mounting the driver 4 with a tapping screw 90 are formed in the vicinity of the four corners of the mounting portion 6.
The mounting hole 71 is a through hole extending from the mounting portion 6 to the front side surface 31 of the vibrating box 3 and is formed at one position at an upper central angle. The attachment holes 72 are formed in the remaining three places, and extend from the attachment portion 6 to the inside of the bottom surface of the recess 352 rather than the through holes. The mounting holes 71 and 72 are smaller in diameter than the tapping screw 9 and the tapping screw 11, and the driver 4 tightens the tapping screw 9 through the mounting holes 71 and 72 as shown in FIG. It is fixed at 35.
FIG. 8 shows a view of the attached driver 4 as viewed from the joint surface 351.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the catchers 81 and 82 are constituted by a donut-shaped magnet 10 and a magnetic tapping screw 11 inserted in the center thereof, and the tapping screws 11 of the catchers 81 and 82 are used. It is attached to the front side 31.
With this configuration, a magnetic field is generated between the head of the tapping screw 11 and the magnet 10 in addition to the magnetic field generated by the donut-shaped magnet 10 on the front side surface 31 side. Specifically, a pole of the opposite polarity to the pole of the magnet 10 is newly formed on the head of the tapping screw 11 at the center of the catchers 81 and 82. As a result, at the time of adsorption with the hold medals 51 and 52, the convex portion at the center of the hold medals 51 and 52 is adsorbed to the recess of the head portion of the tapping screw 11, which facilitates centering. Further, the attachment of the vibration plate 2 is strengthened and stabilized.

The mounting hole 71, which is a through hole extending over the front side surface 31 of the vibration box 3, is used for mounting the catcher 81 in addition to the mounting of the driver 4.
In addition, for the attachment of the catcher 82, the attachment hole 73 is formed in the front side 31 side of the vibration box 3. As shown in FIG.

Among the catchers, the left and right catchers 81 are in the mounting holes 71 and the central catcher 82 is. By tightening the tapping screw through the mounting hole 73, the catchers 81 and 82 are fixed to the front side 31 of the vibrating box 3.
In this case, when the tapping screw 11 of the catcher 81 attached to the mounting hole 71 is tightened, the threaded portion at the tip of the tapping screw 11 is the threaded portion at the tip of the tapping screw 9 passed through the mounting hole 71 for attaching the driver 4 It will approach to an overlapping position and will contact and both screw parts will mesh while rotating.
Then, both tapping screws 9 and 11 are firmly tightened, and the driver 4 is strongly pulled in the direction of the mounting portion 6, and at the same time, the catcher 81 and the driver 4 are strongly connected via the mounting portion 4.

  As a result, the vibration from the driver 4 of one channel is directly transmitted to the left and right catchers 81 via the tapping screws 9 and 11, and the vibration of the vibration box 3 is transmitted. The vibration of the vibration box 3 is transmitted to the central catcher.

  The vibrating plate 2 is connected to the vibrating box 3 at three points by the left and right catchers 81 and the central catcher 82. As a result, the vibrating plate 2 is fixed to the vibrating box 3 in a state in which the front, rear, left and right postures are stable.

As shown in FIG. 7, the rear unit 36 is formed with a recess 362 opening on the bottom surface 33 side, and a through hole 363 connecting the recess 362 and the recess 352 of the front unit 35 is formed.
The signal code (not shown) of the driver 4 is introduced into the recess 362 through the through hole 363.
Further, an amplifier is incorporated in the recess 362 as necessary, and the power cord and the signal code (not shown) are led to the outside from the opening on the bottom surface 33 through the recess 362.
The joint surface 361 of the rear unit 36 and the joint surface 351 of the front unit 35 are bonded to form the integrated vibration box 3.

In this embodiment, the vibration box 3 uses a hinoki as a material, and the size thereof is approximately 115 mm. The one having a width of about 300 mm and a depth of about 117 mm was used. In addition, as with the vibration plate, the surface is painted, for example, in the same manner as painting of a guitar or the like.
In addition, as a material of the vibration box 3, another kind of wood can be used, and not only wood but also metal etc. can be used.

In order to combine the vibration plate 2 and the vibration box 3 to assemble the speaker system 1, the hold medals 51 and 52 of the vibration plate 2 are brought into contact with the positions of the catchers 81 and 82 of the vibration box 3. In this case, the hold medals 51 and 52 are attracted by a relatively strong force by magnetic force, so that they are brought into contact so that they are aligned to a certain extent, and then slide the vibrating plate 2 laterally (in a direction parallel to the surface). Accurate alignment between the catchers 81 and 82 is performed.
Even when the sound box 3 is removed from the vibration plate 2, the vibration plate 2 is slid in the lateral direction so as to be removed at a position where the attraction force by the magnetic force is weak.

In such a configuration, the audio electric signals of the left and right two channels are converted into mechanical vibration by the left and right drivers 4 in the vibration box 3, and this vibration is the entire vibration box 3 including the front unit 35 through the attachment portion 6. Transmitted to
The vibration of each of the left and right drivers 4 is guided to the surface of each of the left and right catchers 81 via the tapping screw 9 for attaching the driver 4 and the tapping screw 11 of the catcher 81 mechanically in contact therewith.
The central catcher 82 is guided by the vibration of the entire vibration box 3. That is, the vibrations of the left and right channels are mixed and supplied.

The vibration is transmitted from the left and right catchers 81 and the central catcher 82 to the vibrating plate 2 via the hold medals 51 and 52, and the mixed vibration of these causes the curved portions 21 and 22 of the vibrating plate 2, mainly The curved portion 21 is resonated, and the generated sound is emitted to the space.
The vibration from the central catcher 82 is a mixture of left and right channel vibrations, and the resonance effect of the vibrations makes the sound rich.

In the experiment by the inventor of the present invention, in the case where the curved plate portion of the vibrating plate is one, chattering noise is generated due to resonance, but the curved portion 22 is provided in addition to the curved surface portion 21 to shift the resonance point. The generation of chattering noise could be prevented, and good sound quality was obtained.
Specifically, although resonance occurs at a specific frequency (about 150 Hz to 250 Hz), by configuring as described above, the sound is impaired when operated at a normal volume for a range of 10 Hz to 10 kHz. No vibration occurred.
Further, although the volume is increased by the curvature of the curved surface portion 21 of the vibrating plate 2, according to the inventor's experiment, the curvature of the curved surface portion 21 is around 15% to 20% of the depth of the curvature with respect to the longitudinal length. But the volume was relatively stable.

The sound generated by the resonance differs depending on the material of the vibration plate 2 and becomes the timbre of the vibration sound due to the characteristics of the material. In this embodiment, since wood is used as the material, the sound has a tone similar to that of a stringed instrument such as a guitar or a violin.
The vibration from the driver 4 is transmitted to the vibration box 3 as described above, and even if the vibration plate 2 is not coupled, a sound is generated from the vibration box 3 and therefore it can be used as a speaker as it is .
