Horn Device Frequency Control for Abnormal Noise
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional horn devices produce abnormal noise due to increased attraction force of the electromagnet at low temperatures, causing collisions between the fixed and movable iron cores.
Innovation Solution
The horn device adjusts the vibration frequency of the diaphragm based on temperature and voltage measurements to prevent resonance and thus avoid collisions between the iron cores, by reducing the vibration frequency when temperatures drop below -30°C or voltage exceeds 15V.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If the horn device operates at low temperature, then the electromagnet attraction force increases, but the fixed iron core collides with the movable iron core causing abnormal noise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the vibration frequency parameter of the diaphragm based on temperature conditions. When low temperature is detected, the control unit adjusts the vibration frequency to a lower value, which changes the operating parameters of the electromagnet to prevent excessive attraction force and subsequent core collision, thereby eliminating abnormal noise while maintaining functional performance
2Force
If the voltage value is high, then the electromagnet attraction force increases, but the fixed iron core collides with the movable iron core causing abnormal noise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback control mechanism where the control unit continuously monitors the voltage value supplied to the horn device. When high voltage is detected, the system automatically adjusts the vibration frequency to a lower value, creating a closed-loop control that prevents excessive electromagnet attraction force and the resulting abnormal noise, ensuring stable operation across varying voltage conditions
