Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a planar diaphragm is used in the electromagnetic sensor, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the diaphragm deformation during vibration is non-uniform, leading to poor sound quality across different frequency responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediaphragm structure simplicityVSAvoiddiaphragm deformation uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The diaphragm is divided into multiple independent vibration units (first vibration unit, second vibration unit, third vibration unit, fourth vibration unit) with different geometric shapes and sizes. Each unit vibrates independently in response to magnetic field changes, allowing different frequency responses across the diaphragm surface. This segmentation enables uniform overall deformation while maintaining structural simplicity.

Principle #1Segmentation

2Power

If magnetic field intensity is increased to improve sound quality, then the magnetic power density increases, but the magnetic field distribution becomes non-uniform, affecting frequency response consistency

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the diaphragm are equipped with different magnet arrangements tailored to local requirements. The first and second vibration units have magnets arranged to optimize their specific vibration characteristics, while the third and fourth vibration units have different magnet configurations. This local optimization ensures uniform magnetic field distribution across the entire diaphragm while maintaining high magnetic power density in each region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The magnet arrangements are deliberately made asymmetric and non-uniform across different regions. The first magnet arrangement differs from the second, third, and fourth arrangements in terms of magnet positions, polarities, and configurations. This asymmetric design compensates for the non-uniform vibration characteristics of different diaphragm regions, achieving overall uniform magnetic field distribution and consistent frequency response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
