Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing microphone booms are inflexible and cannot adjust the distance between the microphone and the user, making them inconvenient for various user groups.
Innovation Solution
A bendable and foldable microphone boom structure with hinged segments and an adjusting mechanism using an axial hole, adjusting bar, and elastic compression member allows for adjustable distance and flexible folding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed rigid microphone boom structure is used, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability to different user groups and distances is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The microphone boom is divided into multiple segments that can be hinged relative to each other, allowing the structure to maintain stability when connected while enabling adjustment of the overall shape and distance to adapt to different users
2Ease of manufacture
If a fixed rigid microphone boom structure is used, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the ease of operation for distance adjustment is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The boom structure incorporates hinged connections that allow dynamic adjustment of the boom's shape and length, enabling easy operation for distance adjustment while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process through standardized hinge components
3Adaptability or versatility
If hinged segments with adjusting structures are added to enable bending and folding, then the adaptability and ease of operation are improved, but the device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting bar is inserted into the axial hole of the boom segment, with the elastic compression member nested between them, creating a compact adjusting mechanism that enables bending and folding functionality without excessive structural complexity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables adjustable microphone placement and convenient storage by allowing the boom to be bent and folded, addressing the inflexibility and unadjustable distance issues of traditional microphone booms.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic compression member disposed between the axial hole and the adjusting bar, wherein the axial hole extends along an axis of the boom segment and the adjusting bar extends along the axial hole. Since an axial hole is provided in a boom segment, an adjusting bar is provided in the axial hole and an elastic compression member is arranged between the axial hole and the adjusting bar, the end of the adjusting bar presses against the end of the adjacent boom segment under the action of the elastic force of the elastic compression member.

AI summary
A microphone boom structure, relates to the technical field of electroacoustic products, and comprises a first end boom segment (10a), a second end boom segment (10b), and several intermediate boom segments (10c) sequentially disposed between the first end boom segment (10a) and the second end boom segment (10b). An end of the first end boom segment is hinged with an end of the adjacent intermediate boom segment, an end of the second end boom segment (10b) is hinged with an end of the adjacent intermediate boom segment, and the ends of two adjacent intermediate boom segments are hinged. An Adjusting structure is further provided between the first end boom segment and the adjacent intermediate boom segment, between the second end boom segment and the adjacent intermediate boom segment, and between the two adjacent intermediate boom segments, respectively. The adjusting structure comprises an axial hole (11) formed in a boom segment, an adjusting bar (30) inserted into the axial hole, and an elastic compression member disposed between the axial hole and the adjusting bar. When the microphone boom structure is used, the distance between the microphone on the microphone boom and the user can be adjusted as required. When it is not used, the microphone boom structure can be bent and folded into a certain shape, so as to solve the problem that the distance between the microphone on the microphone boom and the user is unadjustable.
