Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional separate-part acoustic coil support design is used, then assembly flexibility is improved, but manufacturing complexity and process difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly flexibilityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate support parts into a single integrally formed acoustic coil support. The support includes a support body with a support surface for the acoustic coil, a first support portion extending from the support surface to support the first long-axis edge, and a second support portion extending from the support surface to support the second long-axis edge, all formed as one piece. This integration eliminates the need for separate components and complex assembly processes while maintaining structural functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrally formed support is segmented into distinct functional regions: the support body providing the mounting surface, the first support portion for one long-axis edge, and the second support portion for the other long-axis edge. This segmentation within a single component allows each region to be optimized for its specific function while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Length of stationary object

If bar-shaped transducer design is used for thin products, then product thickness is reduced, but biased vibration and long-axis edge deformation occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransducer thicknessVSAvoidvibration stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by designing support portions that preemptively counteract the deformation forces acting on the long-axis edges. The first and second support portions extend from the support surface to respectively support the first and second long-axis edges of the acoustic coil, preventing biased vibration and edge deformation before they can occur during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The support structure applies local quality by providing targeted support at specific locations: the support surface contacts the acoustic coil body, while the first and second support portions specifically target the long-axis edges. This localized support distribution addresses the specific deformation risks at different locations of the acoustic coil without requiring overall structural changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
