Abstract: A waterproof speaker module may include a membrane formed from at least one waterproof and elastic material and a supporting structure. The membrane may include an outer surface, an inner surface, and at least one concave region that is indented toward the inner surface. The supporting structure may be coupled to the membrane and include a support structure that mates with the concave region of the membrane when the speaker is subjected to a hydrostatic load. When the speaker is not subjected to a hydrostatic load, the support structure may contact the concave region. In this way, the membrane may be resistant to tearing or rupture due to hydrostatic load.

Abstract translation: 防水扬声器模块可以包括由至少一个防水弹性材料和支撑结构形成的膜。 膜可以包括外表面，内表面和朝向内表面凹入的至少一个凹区。 支撑结构可以耦合到膜并且包括当扬声器经受静水压力负载时与膜的凹陷区域配合的支撑结构。 当扬声器不受静液压负载时，支撑结构可以接触凹入区域。 以这种方式，膜可能由于静水压力而抵抗撕裂或破裂。
