Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a traditional cone speaker structure is used, then the speaker can produce sound, but the structural size becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeaker sizeVSAvoidsound quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The diaphragm assembly is divided into multiple independent suspension portions (first suspension portion, second suspension portion, third suspension portion) that are symmetrically distributed. Each suspension portion connects to elastic wave assemblies, creating a segmented vibration system that reduces overall size while maintaining acoustic performance through distributed vibration sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a traditional single-cone vertical structure to a multi-dimensional arrangement with symmetric suspension portions extending in multiple directions. The elastic wave assemblies are positioned at different spatial locations and orientations, utilizing three-dimensional space more efficiently to achieve compact size without sacrificing sound quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If a traditional cone speaker structure is used, then the speaker can produce sound, but low-frequency vibration becomes great

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelow-frequency vibrationVSAvoidsound quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The symmetric suspension portions are positioned to create counterbalancing vibration forces. The first, second, and third suspension portions with their associated elastic wave assemblies are arranged symmetrically around the dome, causing low-frequency vibrations to cancel each other out through destructive interference, thereby reducing harmful vibrations while maintaining acoustic output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

Solution Approach 2:

While the overall structure employs symmetry for vibration cancellation, the individual suspension portions and elastic wave assemblies have asymmetric geometries optimized for their specific locations. The connecting wall structure and suspension arm configurations are asymmetrically designed to achieve optimal vibration distribution and cancellation patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Use of energy by moving object

If a traditional cone speaker structure is used, then the speaker can produce sound, but efficiency becomes low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidsound quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic wave assemblies provide dynamic vibration control, allowing the system to adapt vibration patterns to different frequency requirements. The flexible suspension portions and elastic wave structures enable efficient energy transfer across a wide frequency range, improving overall system efficiency while maintaining high sound quality through dynamic response optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
