Solution Overview

Problem

Coaxial speakers in existing technologies fail to effectively reduce sound leakage during operation, which hinders the realization of a private call function.

Innovation Solution

The coaxial speaker design incorporates a vibration system with three vibrating diaphragms and voice coils, where the first and third vibrating units reverse phase sound waves, counteracting sound waves in the far field to minimize leakage and enable a private call function, while the magnetic circuit system with a transmission cavity and magnetic gaps enhances sound production and reduces leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-generated harmful factors

If traditional coaxial speakers use separate vibration systems and magnetic circuit systems for high pitch and bass sound, then sound production capability is improved, but sound leakage cannot be effectively reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound leakageVSAvoidprivate call function
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration system is segmented into three independent vibrating diaphragms (first, second, and third vibrating diaphragms) that can vibrate independently. Each diaphragm is driven by its own voice coil and operates in a separate magnetic gap, allowing differentiated control of sound wave phases to reduce sound leakage while maintaining reliable private call function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first and third vibrating diaphragms are configured to generate reverse phase sound waves that preemptively counteract sound leakage before it propagates. By producing opposing sound waves in advance, the system neutralizes harmful sound leakage and enables effective private call function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

2Object-generated harmful factors

If three vibrating diaphragms and voice coils are used to generate reverse phase sound waves, then sound leakage is reduced and private call function is realized, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound leakage reductionVSAvoidvibration system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic circuit system merges three magnetic gaps (first, second, and third magnetic gaps) into a unified structure that surrounds a common transmission cavity. This integrated design allows three independent vibrating units to operate simultaneously while sharing the same magnetic circuit framework, reducing overall structural complexity compared to three separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic circuit system employs a nested configuration where the first magnetic gap is surrounded by the second magnetic gap, which is in turn surrounded by the third magnetic gap. All three gaps share a common transmission cavity at their center, creating a compact nested structure that accommodates three vibrating diaphragms without requiring proportionally increased space or complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If first and third vibrating diaphragms seal the transmission cavity, then sound wave counteraction is enhanced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound wave interferenceVSAvoiddiaphragm sealing alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The second vibrating diaphragm acts as an intermediary component positioned between the first and third vibrating diaphragms. It provides a reference alignment surface and structural support that facilitates precise positioning and sealing of the transmission cavity, reducing the direct alignment precision requirements between the first and third diaphragms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The sealing function is distributed locally to specific regions where the first and third vibrating diaphragms contact the transmission cavity, rather than requiring uniform precision across entire diaphragm surfaces. This localized sealing approach reduces overall manufacturing precision requirements while maintaining effective sound wave counteraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
