Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electromagnetic vibrators have limitations such as large size, low vibration frequency, limited frequency range, low efficiency, and reliability issues due to adhesive usage, which affects the mass and quality of the device, leading to inconsistent and unstable performance, especially when high frequencies are required.

Innovation Solution

An electromagnetic vibrator with an integrated diaphragm unit and induction coil unit, where the diaphragm and coil are affixed in a one-piece structure using injection molding or minimal adhesive, allowing for axial movement and reduced adhesive usage, and a bowl-shaped diaphragm for increased vibration space, simplifying the manufacturing process and enhancing stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If adhesive is used to attach the vibration sheet and suspension edge, then the elements can be joined together, but the adhesive thickness becomes uneven causing buzzing sounds and dislodgment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvejoint strengthVSAvoidadhesive thickness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the adhesive layer from the bonding process. The vibration sheet is directly attached to the suspension edge without any adhesive, eliminating the source of thickness variation and associated problems like buzzing sounds and dislodgment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The vibration sheet and suspension edge are merged into a single integrated structure through direct attachment. This eliminates the intermediate adhesive layer and creates a more reliable joint with consistent mechanical properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If adhesive is used between suspension edge and gasket, then the components can be assembled, but the glue may peel off over time due to oxidization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidlong-term stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive is completely removed from the assembly process between the suspension edge and gasket. The components are joined through direct mechanical attachment, eliminating the chemical degradation and peeling issues associated with adhesive over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of manufacture

If manual gluing processes are used to attach elements, then the components can be joined, but the process becomes complex and difficult to maintain consistency

Engineering Contradiction:
