Sound Generating Assembly for Audible Charging Connection Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic charging devices lack reliable feedback mechanisms for operators to determine if the device to be charged is properly connected, especially for larger devices that may obstruct light-emitting components.
Innovation Solution
A sound generating assembly is integrated into the electronic device, featuring a bracket, cover, and contact mechanism. When the cover moves to expose the electrical connection part, a sounding elastic piece is pressed, producing a sound to indicate proper connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a light emitting component is used to indicate connection status, then the operator can know whether charging is connected, but the feedback is not obvious when the device blocks the light
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the optical feedback system (light emitting component) with a mechanical-acoustic feedback system (sounding elastic piece). When the cover moves to expose the electrical connection part, the contact mechanism presses the sounding elastic piece to produce a audible sound, providing reliable connection status feedback that is not affected by device obstruction.
2Volume of moving object
If the device size is increased to accommodate larger devices, then charging capacity is improved, but the light emitting component becomes blocked
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes the visual light-based information transmission system with a mechanical sound-based system. The sounding elastic piece generates audible feedback when pressed by the contact mechanism during cover movement, ensuring connection status information is transmitted effectively regardless of device size or light blocking conditions.
3Reliability
If a sound generating mechanism is added, then connection feedback is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the sound generating function with the existing cover movement mechanism. The sounding elastic piece is integrated into the bracket structure, and the contact mechanism that already exists for electrical connection also serves to activate the sound feedback. This combination approach provides clear connection feedback while minimizing additional complexity.
