Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional earphone devices face limitations in achieving higher quality and higher output of driving sound due to their structural constraints.

Innovation Solution

A speaker device is designed with a cylindrical body frame supporting a vibrating film, featuring a first driving unit with a cup-shaped magnetic yoke and cylindrical coil, and a second driving unit with a ring-shaped yoke and coil, both configured to drive the vibrating film in the same direction with the same voice signal, reducing distortion and enhancing sound quality and output.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a single driving unit is used in conventional earphone devices, then the structure is simple, but the sound quality and output are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound qualityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single driving unit is segmented into two separate driving units (first and second driving units), each with its own coil, magnet, and yoke structure. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each unit's performance characteristics, enabling higher sound quality and output while managing complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Two driving units are merged to work together on the same vibrating film, combining their output to achieve higher sound quality and volume. The merging of multiple driving forces on a single vibrating film creates synergistic effects that improve overall acoustic performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If a single driving unit is used, then the device is simple to manufacture, but distortion cannot be minimized

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedistortionVSAvoidmanufacturing
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The driving function is segmented into two separate driving units that can be manufactured independently using standardized processes. Each unit can be produced with consistent quality control, and the segmentation allows for specialized manufacturing techniques to minimize distortion in each unit

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By changing the number of driving units from one to two, the system can operate at optimized parameter levels for each unit, reducing individual unit distortion and achieving lower overall distortion through the combined operation of both units

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Force

If conventional single driving unit structure is used, then the magnetic flux density is insufficient, but adding more components increases complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic flux densityVSAvoidcomponents
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Two magnetic driving systems are merged to act on the same vibrating film, combining their magnetic flux density to achieve higher overall force output. The merged system delivers superior magnetic flux density without requiring individual units to be excessively complex

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic driving force is applied from two different dimensions or orientations (first and second driving units positioned differently relative to the vibrating film), creating a combined three-dimensional magnetic flux distribution that enhances overall magnetic flux density and reduces distortion

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