Solution Overview

Problem

The structural layout of existing headset speakers results in a poor sound output effect, necessitating improvement.

Innovation Solution

The headset incorporates a first speaker unit with a first diaphragm assembly and a second speaker unit positioned to emit sound at a higher frequency, both units aligned in the same direction to prevent interference and increase sound expressiveness, with specific contour and inner surface arrangements to optimize space and vibration area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single speaker unit is used in the headset, then the structure is simple, but the sound output effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeaker structureVSAvoidsound output effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The speaker system is divided into two independent speaker units: a first speaker unit and a second speaker unit. Each unit has its own diaphragm assembly and electromagnetic components, allowing them to operate independently at different frequency ranges. This segmentation enables the system to achieve better sound output effect by distributing audio frequency ranges across multiple specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the second speaker unit is positioned to block the first speaker unit, then the structure is compact, but the sound output is blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheadset volumeVSAvoidsound output
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The two speaker units are arranged in a circumferential direction rather than being stacked directly on top of each other. The first speaker unit is positioned at a first location and the second speaker unit is positioned at a second location along the circumferential direction, allowing both units to emit sound in the same direction without physical blocking. This spatial arrangement in the circumferential dimension resolves the conflict between compactness and sound output.

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

3Reliability

If the sound emission frequencies of both speaker units are the same, then the frequency response is uniform, but the sound expressiveness is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound expressivenessVSAvoidfrequency distribution
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each speaker unit is designed with different sound emission frequency characteristics tailored to its specific function. The first speaker unit is configured for a first sound emission frequency range while the second speaker unit is configured for a second sound emission frequency range. This local optimization of frequency characteristics allows each component to excel at its designated frequency range, improving overall sound expressiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Volume of moving object

If the diaphragm assembly area is reduced to fit more components, then the headset volume is reduced, but the sound output quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheadset volumeVSAvoidsound output quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By arranging speaker units in the circumferential direction rather than stacking them axially, the design utilizes the circumferential dimension to accommodate multiple speaker units without increasing the overall headset volume significantly. This allows each speaker unit to maintain adequate diaphragm assembly area for quality sound output while keeping the headset compact.

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