Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speakers are limited to being fixed on plane surfaces, making it inconvenient and costly to mount them on arched or special-shaped surfaces, such as cylindrical surfaces, which restricts their design and development.

Innovation Solution

A speaker design featuring a sound making member with a connecting frame and a fixing frame that is arched-shaped and cylindrically processed, equipped with mounting holes for easy attachment using expansion bolts, allowing secure fixation on arched surfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a speaker is designed with a plane surface body structure, then it can be easily manufactured and fixed on plane surfaces, but it cannot be directly fixed on arched or special-shaped surfaces, restricting its adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to arched surfacesVSAvoidbody structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The speaker is divided into two independent parts: a plane surface body structure (sound making member) and a separate arched fixing frame. The fixing frame is segmented with multiple mounting holes arranged along the arch, allowing it to be independently manufactured and then combined with the sound making member through connection structures, enabling adaptation to arched surfaces without redesigning the entire speaker body

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The arched fixing frame acts as an intermediary component between the plane surface speaker body and the arched installation surface. It provides the necessary adaptation to the arch shape while maintaining the integrity of the original speaker body, serving as a mediator that enables the speaker to be fixed on arched surfaces without modifying the sound making member

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a mounting platform with plane surface is manually constructed on arched surface, then the speaker can be fixedly fastened, but the mounting process becomes complex and costly, increasing device complexity and manufacturing cost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation stabilityVSAvoidmounting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing frame merges the functions of the mounting platform and the arch adaptation into a single integrated component. It combines the plane surface body structure with the arched fixing frame through connection structures, eliminating the need for separate manual construction of mounting platforms, thereby simplifying the mounting process while maintaining fixation stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The arched fixing frame serves multiple functions simultaneously: it adapts to the arch shape, provides mounting holes for fastening, and connects to the sound making member. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate mounting platforms and complex installation procedures, reducing overall device complexity while ensuring reliable fixation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the speaker box body structure is confined by plane surface, then manufacturing is simplified, but design development is restricted, limiting adaptability to different surfaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign flexibilityVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The speaker design is segmented into the sound making member (plane surface body) and the fixing frame (arched structure). This segmentation allows the sound making member to maintain simple plane surface manufacturing while the fixing frame provides the necessary arch adaptation, enabling design flexibility without compromising manufacturing simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing frame incorporates the arched curvature to match the installation surface, while the sound making member maintains a simple plane surface structure. This curvature application is localized to the fixing frame rather than the entire speaker body, allowing design flexibility for arch surfaces while keeping the main body manufacturing simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
