Rotating Decorative Ring Assembly for Acoustic Chamber Space Balance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices face challenges in balancing the appearance effect and space utilization due to the increased coverage area of the decorative ring around the rear camera, which occupies more device space.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a decorative ring assembly that includes a cover plate and an expandable connection component, where the cover plate can rotate relative to the device body, adjusting the volume of the acoustic chamber to enhance both the appearance and sound quality while optimizing space usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the coverage area of the decorative ring around the rear camera is increased to highlight the appearance effect, then the appearance effect is improved, but the space utilization of the device deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the cover plate rotatable relative to the device body, allowing it to switch between different positions (covering and exposing the sound module). This dynamic adjustment enables the system to optimize both appearance and space utilization at different moments, rather than being fixed in one state.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover plate is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a decorative element when in position to highlight the appearance effect, and simultaneously serves as a protective cover for the sound module. The expandable connection component also provides multi-functionality by adjusting the acoustic chamber volume based on the cover plate position, enabling the system to adapt to different operational requirements.
2Reliability
If the cover plate is in the open state to expose the sound module, then the sound quality is improved, but the appearance effect deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the cover plate position based on operational needs. When high-quality sound output is required, the cover plate rotates to the open state, exposing the sound module and allowing the expandable connection component to increase the acoustic chamber volume, thereby optimizing sound quality while temporarily accepting the change in appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the volume parameter of the acoustic chamber by adjusting the expandable connection component when the cover plate is in the open state. This parameter change optimizes the acoustic performance and sound quality, demonstrating how physical parameters can be adjusted to meet different functional requirements.
3Reliability
If the acoustic chamber volume is increased to enhance sound quality, then the sound quality is improved, but the device space consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The expandable connection component provides dynamic adjustment of the acoustic chamber volume, allowing the system to expand the chamber only when the cover plate is in the open state and high sound quality is needed. When the cover plate covers the sound module, the acoustic chamber volume is reduced, thereby optimizing space utilization during periods when the sound module is not actively used.
Solution Approach 2:
The expandable connection component is nested within the device structure, allowing it to extend the acoustic chamber volume when needed while maintaining a compact form when retracted. This nesting approach enables the system to have a large acoustic chamber capacity without permanently occupying excessive device space.
