Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vibration systems, particularly of the moving iron type, suffer from low signal conversion efficiency and energy loss due to unbalanced vibration, resulting in distortion.

Innovation Solution

A balanced vibration system is designed with a magnetic circuit unit, a vibration unit, and a casing, where a balanced iron core, made of magnetically-conductive material, is movably connected to the casing and driven by two magnet groups with opposing magnetic poles, enabling equal magnetic forces to induce vibration in the diaphragm for efficient sound generation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If a balanced iron core with one end fixed and the other end vibrating is used, then the vibrating end can generate vibration by overcoming elastic stress, but this leads to energy loss and distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy lossVSAvoidvibration quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of fixing one end of the balanced iron core and allowing the other end to vibrate freely (which causes energy loss through elastic stress), the patent inverts the approach by fixing the iron core at its center and allowing both ends to vibrate symmetrically. This inversion eliminates the elastic stress loss mechanism while maintaining vibration generation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The balanced iron core is segmented into two symmetric halves that can vibrate independently but simultaneously. By treating the core as two separate vibrating sections rather than one fixed-end system, the patent achieves balanced vibration that reduces energy loss and eliminates distortion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Use of energy by moving object

If a moving iron type vibration system is used, then the system can generate sound through magnetic field forces, but signal conversion efficiency is low and power consumption is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidsignal conversion efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical parameters of the vibration system by using a balanced iron core with symmetric magnet groups instead of a conventional moving iron configuration. This parameter change optimizes the magnetic field distribution and vibration mechanics, resulting in improved signal conversion efficiency and reduced power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

While the overall system maintains symmetry for balanced vibration, the patent introduces asymmetric magnet group configurations (with different numbers of magnets at each end) to optimize the magnetic field distribution. This controlled asymmetry in magnet arrangement improves signal conversion efficiency while maintaining the balanced vibration characteristic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Device complexity

If single-side vibration is used, then the system structure is simple, but distortion is generated and vibration cannot go on fully

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidvibration completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of implementing a simple single-side vibration system, the patent inverts the approach by creating a dual-side vibration system with symmetric magnet groups. This inversion, while increasing structural complexity, enables complete vibration operation without distortion by allowing both ends of the balanced iron core to vibrate simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
