Solution Overview

Problem

Bone conduction speakers require higher mechanical power due to the need to drive soft tissues and bones to vibrate, making sensitivity a critical factor for efficiency in converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic circuit assembly for bone conduction speakers is designed, comprising a first magnetic element, a first magnetic guide element, and at least one second magnetic element that surrounds the first magnetic element, creating a magnetic gap where the magnetic field strength of the first magnetic field exceeds that of the second magnetic field, enhancing sensitivity and efficiency.
