Flexible Connection Section for Acoustical Component Sealing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices face challenges in achieving effective waterproof and dustproof grades due to assembly errors in acoustical components, which lead to poor sealing performance.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a communication support with a flexible connection section and annular elastic sealing protrusions, which adaptively deform to ensure proper sealing between the housing, acoustical component, and dustproof nets, enhancing the waterproof and dustproof grades.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a sealing component is disposed between the acoustical component and the housing, then sealing performance is improved, but assembly errors cause the acoustical component to dislocate and compression area of the sealing component cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The communication support incorporates a flexible connection section that can dynamically adapt to assembly variations. This flexible section allows the rigid portions to maintain proper sealing contact while accommodating positional deviations of the acoustical component, thus resolving the contradiction between requiring precise assembly for sealing and the reality of assembly errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state of the connection section from rigid to flexible, allowing it to deform and adapt to assembly variations. This parameter change enables the system to maintain sealing performance even when assembly precision is not perfectly controlled, as the flexible section compensates for positional deviations.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the acoustical component is connected to the housing in a sealing manner, then waterproof and dustproof grades are improved, but assembly errors lead to dislocation and poor sealing effect
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible connection section acts as an intermediary between the rigid communication support and the acoustical component. It mediates the connection by absorbing assembly errors and maintaining the sealing relationship, ensuring that waterproof and dustproof grades are achieved even when assembly precision varies.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a flexible connection section that functions similarly to flexible sealing elements. This flexible component can deform to accommodate assembly variations while maintaining the sealing barrier, thus protecting against water and dust infiltration despite assembly errors in the acoustical component positioning.
