Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un ensemble monobloc haute fidélité d'enceinte acoustique stéréophonique.The present invention relates to a high fidelity monobloc assembly of stereophonic acoustic enclosure.
Il est connu des appareils audio, portables, dont les haut-parleurs peuvent coulisser l'un dans l'autre ; c'est notamment le cas de la demande de brevet
De par leurs propriétés acoustiques peu directives, le volume unique assurant la restitution des basses fréquences dites graves est omnidirectionnel. En revanche, la paire d'enceintes assurant la restitution des fréquences utiles à la stéréophonie dites mediums/aigus ou hautes fréquences peut être contrôlée en directivité par l'utilisateur de manière à optimiser l'équilibre de l'image sonore et le rendu de la scène stéréophonique en fonction de sa position dans l'espace en profondeur et en hauteur.Due to their acoustic properties which are not very directive, the single volume ensuring the restitution of the so-called low frequencies is omnidirectional. On the other hand, the pair of speakers providing the reproduction of the frequencies useful for stereophonic so-called mediums / highs or high frequencies can be controlled directivity by the user so as to optimize the balance of the sound image and the rendering of the stereophonic scene according to its position in the space in depth and height.
D'autres systèmes sont connus, par exemple ceux décrits dans les demandes de brevets internationale
La présente invention se distingue radicalement des dispositifs de l'état de la technique tel que mentionné ci-dessus.The present invention is radically different from the devices of the state of the art as mentioned above.
En effet, l'ensemble faisant l'objet de la présente invention se situe dans le domaine de la haute fidélité tel que défini par le Comité Electrotechnique International de normalisation (CEI 268, et plus particulièrement CEI 60 268-5).Indeed, the assembly forming the subject of the present invention is in the field of high fidelity as defined by the International Electrotechnical Committee for Standardization (IEC 268, and more particularly IEC 60 268-5).
L'objectif de la présente invention est effectivement de parvenir à un système assurant la conformité de restitution du son pour une bande de fréquences correspondant au plus proche au spectre des fréquences audibles allant de 20 Hz à 20 kHz.The objective of the present invention is indeed to achieve a system ensuring compliance of sound reproduction for a frequency band corresponding to the nearest spectrum audible frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
L'ensemble faisant l'objet de la présente invention permet notamment grâce au volume unique chargé de restituer les sons graves de descendre jusqu'à 40 Hz, à l'aide de haut-parleurs ainsi que de systèmes acoustiques à haute performance et en admettant une puissance électrique de plusieurs dizaines de watts, voire quelques centaines de watts.The assembly that is the object of the present invention makes it possible, in particular, thanks to the single volume charged to reproduce the low-pitched sounds, to go down to 40 Hz, with the aid of loudspeakers as well as high performance acoustic systems and admitting electrical power of several tens of watts, even a few hundred watts.
C'est ainsi que l'ensemble selon la présente invention permet à la fois d'avoir un système monobloc, compact, tout en assurant la haute fidélité telle qu'elle a été précédemment définie.Thus, the assembly according to the present invention allows both to have a compact one-piece system, while ensuring the high fidelity as it was previously defined.
De façon plus précise, la présente invention concerne un ensemble monobloc haute fidélité d'enceinte acoustique stéréophonique, installé dans un meuble, du type comprenant des haut-parleurs séparés pour rendre d'une part les graves non directionnels et d'autre part les mediums/aigus et intègre en outre au moins un écran, le système pour reproduire les fréquences graves étant situé dans un volume unique et distinct de celui contenant les haut-parleurs destinés à rendre les fréquences mediums/aigus, ces derniers étant situés dans une autre partie dudit ensemble et étant reliés sans fil apparent au dit système et au dit écran.More specifically, the present invention relates to a high fidelity monobloc set of stereophonic acoustic speaker, installed in a piece of furniture, of the type comprising separate loudspeakers to render on the one hand the non-directional bass and on the other hand the mediums / acute and also incorporates at least one screen, the system for reproducing the low frequencies being located in a single volume and separate from that containing the speakers for making the frequencies mid / treble, the latter being located in another part said set and being wirelessly connected to said system and said screen.
Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation, les haut-parleurs destinés à rendre les fréquences mediums/aigus sont situés sur des pièces pouvant être écartées l'une par rapport à l'autre.According to a preferred embodiment, the loudspeakers intended to make the medium / high frequencies are located on parts that can be spaced relative to each other.
Selon un mode encore plus préférentiel, lesdites pièces sont solidaires l'une de l'autre et peuvent coulisser l'une dans l'autre, tout en pouvant effectuer une rotation autour de leur axe longitudinal.According to an even more preferred mode, said parts are integral with one another and can slide into one another, while being able to rotate about their longitudinal axis.
Selon un mode également préférentiel, chacune des pièces précitées aura une section transversale polygonale.According to a mode also preferred, each of the aforementioned parts will have a polygonal cross section.

Une représentation schématique de l'ensemble, objet de la présente invention, est donnée en vue de face dans les
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, les pièces (2) et (2') sont indépendantes en translation selon l'axe longitudinal, et sont situées de chaque côté de l'ensemble et peuvent être soit en position rentrée comme cela apparaît à la
Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, donné à titre préférentiel, les pièces (2) et (2') sont solidaires l'une de l'autre et peuvent coulisser l'une dans l'autre ainsi qu'il sera décrit plus avant dans la description, permettant ainsi leur écartement.According to a second embodiment, given preferably, the parts (2) and (2 ') are integral with one another and can slide into one another as will be described further in the description, thus allowing their spacing.
Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, chaque pièce (2) ou (2') est destinée à supporter un ou plusieurs haut-parleurs mediums/aigus, préférentiellement disposés à leur extrémité, qui se trouveront ainsi intégrés dans des volumes séparés, distincts de celui des haut-parleurs de graves et que l'on pourra écarter en agissant sur les pièces (2) et (2'). En outre et selon la configuration des lieux et le positionnement de l'utilisateur, l'écartement des parties (2) et (2') pourra se faire de manière symétrique, de part et d'autre dudit ensemble, ou de façon non symétrique, ces deux actions d'écartement n'étant pas obligatoirement simultanées.Whatever the embodiment, each piece (2) or (2 ') is intended to support one or more medium / high speakers, preferably arranged at their end, which will thus be integrated in separate volumes, separate from each other. that of the bass speakers and that can be removed by acting on the parts (2) and (2 '). In addition and according to the configuration of the places and the positioning of the user, the spacing parts (2) and (2 ') may be symmetrically, on either side of said assembly, or in a non-symmetrical manner, these two spacing actions not necessarily being simultaneous.
Comme cela vient d'être mentionné, l'écartement des deux pièces gauche et droite (2) et (2') supportant les haut-parleurs mediums/aigus permet, soit de rentrer ceux-ci totalement dans le meuble, selon la configuration illustrée à la
Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation précité, le fait que les pièces (2) (2') soient solidaires entre elles rend par ailleurs possible leur rotation simultanée autour de leur axe longitudinal, afin d'adapter la reproduction sonore stéréophonique en fonction du recul et de la position d'écoute en hauteur de l'auditeur. On aboutit ainsi à une optimisation du rendu de la scène stéréophonique en fonction de la position de l'auditeur en contrôlant l'orientation et l'écartement des axes principaux de diffusion des deux enceintes médium-aigus gauche et droite (2) et (2'). De la même façon, la diffusion du son peut être optimisée, lorsque les enceintes (2) (2') sont en position rentrée, par un positionnement des haut-parleurs face à des déflecteurs appropriés jouant le rôle de réflecteurs acoustiques.In the second embodiment mentioned above, the fact that the pieces (2) (2 ') are integral with each other makes it possible to rotate them simultaneously about their longitudinal axis, in order to adapt the stereophonic sound reproduction according to the recoil and from the listening position at the height of the listener. This results in an optimization of the rendering of the stereophonic scene according to the position of the listener by controlling the orientation and spacing of the main axes of diffusion of the two middle and treble speakers left and right (2) and (2). '). In the same way, the sound diffusion can be optimized, when the speakers (2) (2 ') are in the retracted position, by positioning the speakers facing appropriate deflectors acting as acoustic reflectors.
Dans ce mode de réalisation illustré aux
Les avantages ainsi obtenus sont multiples : on dispose d'un seul volume de taille suffisante pour une reproduction optimisée et de haute fidélité des fréquences graves tout en réduisant les coûts de fabrication ainsi que l'encombrement correspondant par rapport à deux enceintes acoustiques traditionnelles. Cet ensemble stéréophonique, qui intègre un caisson de basse distinct est pré câblé et ne nécessite ni fils de raccordement disgracieux, ni schémas de raccordement complexes des différents transducteurs entre eux ainsi qu'avec avec leurs amplificateurs.The advantages thus obtained are multiple: there is only one volume of sufficient size for optimized reproduction and high fidelity of low frequencies while reducing manufacturing costs and the corresponding size compared to two traditional acoustic speakers. This stereophonic unit, which incorporates a separate subwoofer, is pre-wired and does not require unsightly connecting wires or complex connection diagrams of the different transducers with each other and with their amplifiers.
Le réglage, le raccordement et le positionnement des haut-parleurs, par ailleurs, peut être optimisé une fois pour toutes et on dispose en outre d'un volume central dans lequel peuvent venir se grouper et se raccorder simultanément, de façon cohérente et simple, différents produits multimédia : amplificateur, ordinateur, écran (3), lecteur vidéo ou sonore. Ainsi, l'ensemble selon l'invention est effectivement compact et monobloc ; il peut aussi être envisagé de réaliser une version transportable de cet ensemble.The adjustment, the connection and the positioning of the loudspeakers, moreover, can be optimized once and for all and one also has a central volume in which can be grouped and connected simultaneously, in a coherent and simple way, different multimedia products: amplifier, computer, screen (3), video or sound player. Thus, the assembly according to the invention is effectively compact and monobloc; it can also be envisaged to make a transportable version of this set.
Les pièces (2) et (2') correspondant au deuxième mode de réalisation précité vont maintenant être décrites plus en détails. Ces pièces peuvent être réalisées en différents matériaux ; ainsi, il existe des procédés par injection sous pression de matières plastiques ou d'alliages de métaux permettant de réaliser des systèmes mediums/aigus légers et réglables mais les outillages nécessaires à la fabrication de ces pièces sont onéreux et amortissables seulement sur de très grandes séries.Parts (2) and (2 ') corresponding to the second embodiment mentioned above will now be described in more detail. These pieces can be made of different materials; Thus, there are processes by pressure injection of plastics or metal alloys to achieve light and adjustable medium / treble systems but the tools needed to manufacture these parts are expensive and depreciable only on very large series .
On peut palier ces différents inconvénients en faisant appel aux méthodes actuelles d'usinage des feuilles de métal, matériaux synthétiques ou composites par programmation numérique.These disadvantages can be overcome by using the current methods of machining metal sheets, synthetic materials or composites by digital programming.
Selon le matériau choisi pour réaliser les pièces (2) et (2'), référence étant faite à la

Figure 4B reveals two folds (8) with two outward angles, and - the
Figures 4C and 4D show five folds (8) with four outbound angles and one re-entrant angle.
Selon une caractéristique préférentielle de la présente invention, ces polygones sont conçus de telle sorte qu'au moins deux de leurs arêtes (8) puissent être guidées et permettre à l'ensemble des pièces (2) (2') de pivoter éventuellement sur lui-même dans un périmètre circulaire (9) comme cela est représenté aux
Dans tous les cas illustrés aux
Selon une variante d'exécution non illustrée ici, les deux pièces (2) et (2') pourront coulisser et pivoter simultanément à l'intérieur d'un tube en PVC ou en PMMA extrudé, par exemple, ou bien d'un tube à l'intérieur duquel est disposé un revêtement présentant une surface glissante et non agressive pour les arêtes (8) des polyèdres constituant les pièces (2) et (2').According to an alternative embodiment not illustrated here, the two parts (2) and (2 ') can slide and pivot simultaneously inside a PVC tube or extruded PMMA, for example, or a tube in which is disposed a coating having a slippery surface and not aggressive to the edges (8) of the polyhedra constituting the parts (2) and (2 ').
On obtient ainsi d'après la présente invention un ensemble dont la rigidité est obtenue d'une part grâce aux différents plis (8) (8') successifs, d'autre part par l'emboîtement des pièces droite/gauche, c'est-à-dire des pièces (2) et (2') entre elles, et enfin par le maintien de celles-ci à l'horizontal et à l'intérieur des espaces circulaires ou partiellement circulaires découpés dans une ou plusieurs parois successives traversées par lesdites pièces (2) et (2') ou bien à l'intérieur d'un tube fermé ou encore à l'intérieur d'un manchon présentant une forme identique en coupe à celle desdites pièces (2) et (2').An assembly is thus obtained according to the present invention, the rigidity of which is obtained on the one hand by virtue of the different successive folds (8) (8 '), on the other hand by the interlocking of the right / left pieces. that is to say parts (2) and (2 ') between them, and finally by maintaining them horizontally and inside the circular or partially circular spaces cut in one or more successive walls traversed by said parts (2) and (2 ') either inside a closed tube or inside a sleeve having an identical shape in section to that of said parts (2) and (2').
Il est également possible de mettre un matériau adhésif du type téflon collé à l'intérieur de la partie externe ou à l'extérieur de la partie interne, de manière à optimiser les frottements entre les deux partie (2) et (2') pour éviter toute usure ou rayures causées par une des pièces sur l'autre et améliorer la fluidité du coulissement de ces deux pièces l'une par rapport à l'autre.It is also possible to put a teflon-type adhesive material bonded inside the outer part or outside the inner part, so as to optimize the friction between the two parts (2) and (2 ') for avoid any wear or scratches caused by one of the parts on the other and improve the fluidity of the sliding of these two parts relative to each other.
D'autre part, les différents plans (11) selon les
En outre, ainsi que le montre la
Ainsi que cela est illustré à la
Par ailleurs, du fait qu'à l'arrière des écrans plats de télévisions existent des systèmes de fixations par vis selon des entraxes normalisés, il est possible d'utiliser le même concept de haut-parleurs à écartements variables dans ce contexte. On obtient ainsi par coulissement, avec un ensemble analogue et standardisé comportant également des haut-parleurs symétriques selon la description ci-dessus, la possibilité d'installer et d'adapter ceux-ci de manière discrète et efficace pour l'obtention d'un système stéréophonique de part et d'autre d'un écran, quelles que soient les dimensions exactes en largeur de ce dernier, ledit écran plat constituant alors l'écran (3) précité.Moreover, because behind the flat TV screens there are screw fastening systems at standardized distances, it is possible to use the same concept of speakers with variable spacings in this context. Thus, by sliding, with a similar and standardized assembly also comprising symmetrical loudspeakers according to the description above, the possibility of installing and adapting them in a discrete and effective way to obtain a stereophonic system on either side of a screen, regardless of the exact dimensions in width of the latter, said flat screen constituting the screen (3) above.
