    OMNI-DIRECTIONAL PORTED SPEAKER FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to speaker structure and more particularly, to an omnidirectional ported speaker, which has multiple ducts for air flow.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A conventional driver of a speaker is operated by causing a voice coil of the speaker to vibrate, and move a cone of the speaker to reproduce sound pressure waves and makes a user hear the sound. In order to achieve better effect, the driver is mounted in a cabinet for preventing acoustic short circuit by separating front and rear sound field of the driver.
    During the vibration of the voice coil, if the voice coil moves forward, the density of the air in front of the driver is increasing, and air density behind the driver is smaller. If there is no block therebetween, the air with larger density moves toward the air with smaller density, and this is called acoustic short circuit. Acoustic short circuit relates to the frequency, in particular appears in low frequencies. Therefore, a well-designed cabinet can improve the effect of low frequencies.
    Referring to FIG. 1, there are two kinds of speaker box differentiated by the structures therein. One is enclosure speaker, and the other is ported speaker. The ported speaker can produce much lower frequencies than the enclosure speaker. Typical ported speaker has an opening 4 and a duct 6 for connecting the driver 8.
    When a ported speaker operates, the air flows in the duct quickly. However, the opening of the ported speaker usually does not have enough size, which causes frictional loss during the operation and results in noise of the ported speaker.
    Inasmuch as aforementioned, an omni-directional ported speaker is disclosed in the present invention to resolve the drawbacks of the prior art.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an omni-directional ported speaker which can disperse the air in a single duct to eliminate the noise caused by the friction in the duct.
    It is another object of the invention to provide a column-like structure, e.g. a pillar. Therefore, it is easy to connect to a driver of a speaker.
    It is further an object of the invention to provide adequate space in the column-like structure. The space is not only for a driver, but also for ducts. The length of the ducts can be elongated, and better low frequency response can be achieved.
    In order to achieve the afore-mentioned objects, the invention provides an omni-directional ported speaker having a driver. The driver has a cone diaphragm portion and a driving portion. The omni-directional ported speaker comprises a cabinet for the driver mounted therein, and the cabinet has a first opening at one end portion and a second opening at the other end portion. The cone diaphragm portion of the driver is close to the second opening. A cover member is connected to the first opening, and the cover member has a first duct and second ducts. The first duct and each of the second ducts have two openings. One of the two openings of the first duct is coupled to one of the openings of each of the second ducts, and the other opening of the first duct is disposed close to the driving portion along the direction from the first opening of the cabinet towards the second opening of the cabinet. The other openings of the second ducts are arranged in the cover member, wherein the first duct and each of the second ducts define a first angle therebetween, and adjacent second ducts define a second angle therebetween.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a vertical section through a ported speaker according to the prior art. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an omni-directional ported speaker in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an omni-directional ported speaker in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to fully comprehend the objectives, features and efficacy of the present invention, a detailed description of embodiments of the invention is given below, by way of example only, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The description is as below.
    Referring to FIG. 2, it is a perspective view of an omni-directional ported speaker in accordance with the first embodiment of the invention. The omni-directional ported speaker 10 has a driver 2. The driver 2 comprises a cone diaphragm portion 22 and a driving portion 24. The driving portion 24 is action by electric power to move the cone diaphragm portion 22 for producing sound waves.
    The omni-directional ported speaker 10 comprises a cabinet 12 and a first cover member 14.
    In the first embodiment, the cabinet 12 is a pillar; in this embodiment, it is cylindrical in shape. In other possible embodiments, the cabinet 12 may be other shapes. The inside of the cabinet 12 is a space 122 for disposing the driver 2. The cabinet 12 has a first opening 124 at one end and a second opening 126 at the other end. As the driver 2 is disposed in the space 122 of the cabinet 12, the cone diaphragm portion 22 is close to and is preferably adjacent to the second opening 126. In particular, the driver 2 can be easily connected to the cabinet 12 because the plan view shape of the driver 2 is a circular shape in this embodiment and this fits to the cylindrical shape of the cabinet 12.
    Specifically, the driver is substantially the shape of a truncated cone or frustum, in this embodiment. The cone diaphragm portion 22 of the driver 2 has its end with the greatest diameter adjacent to the circular base of the cabinet 12, in this embodiment.
    The first cover member 14 is connected to the first opening 124. Furthermore, the methods of connecting the first cover member 14 and the first opening 124 may be by way of locking or clamping. The first cover member 14 has a first duct 142 and a plurality of second ducts 144. In the embodiment, the numbers of the second ducts 144 are four. In other embodiments, the number of the second ducts might be less than or more than four and may be even or odd in number.
    The first duct 142 is disposed in the center of the first member 14, and has two openings 1422, 1424. The first duct 142 may be cylindrical in shape and its axis may extend in a direction which is aligned with or parallel to the axis of the cabinet 12. Besides, each of the second ducts 144 also has two openings 1442,1444. Furthermore, the second ducts 144 may be a tube with a rectangular cross-section, a pipe (with a circular cross-section), or a tube with a square cross-section. The opening 1422 of the first duct 142 is coupled to the openings 1442 of the second ducts 144. The opening 1424 of the first duct 142 is disposed close to and preferably adjacent to the driving portion 24 along the direction from the first opening 124 of the cabinet 12 towards the second opening 126 of the cabinet 12. Each of the openings 1444 of the second duct 144 is arranged on the periphery of the first cover 14. Besides, a first angle θι is defined between the side portion (surface) of the first duct 142 and a neighbouring side of each of the second ducts 144. A second angle ©2 is defined between neighbouring sides of each of the second ducts 144. The second angle ©2 is in accordance with a formula of 360°/ A, and A is the number of the second ducts 144. In the first embodiment, the first angle ©i is ninety degrees. Because the numbers of the second ducts 144 are four in the embodiment, the second angle ©2 is also ninety degrees, although the second angles may differ between pairs of adjacent second ducts, such that the second angles are different therebetween.
    As shown in FIG. 3 which is the perspective view of an omni-directional ported speaker in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, the omni-directional ported speaker 10’ also has a cabinet 12 and a first cover member 14 the same as the first embodiment, however, the omni-directional ported speaker 10’ further comprises a second cover member 16.
    The second cover member 16 is connected to the second opening 126 and has a third opening 162 for enabling the cone diaphragm portion 22 of the driver 2 to produce sound waves. Besides, there are several holes disposed on the periphery of the second cover member 16. When the omni-directional ported speaker 10’ is vertically placed, the sound waves can go through the holes 164. In the second embodiment, the numbers of the holes are four, although fewer holes or more holes may be provided.
    Moreover, the first duct 142 and the second ducts 144 may be integrated.
    The present invention is disclosed by the preferred embodiments in the aforementioned description; however, it is contemplated for one skilled at the art that the embodiments are applied only for an illustration of the present invention rather than are interpreted as a limitation for the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the various substantial alternate or replacement equivalents to these embodiments shall be considered as being covered within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be defined by the claims.
