Innovation Solution

A sound-generating unit integrating a bass, midrange, and treble vibration units into a single structure, utilizing a shared magnetic circuit system, with the midrange and treble units on one side and the bass unit on the other, allowing for a compact design that maintains high-frequency and low-frequency performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If bass speaker and treble speaker are assembled into one electronic device, then space utilization is improved, but speaker sizes are restricted which affects full-frequency effects and sound quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoidsound quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration system is divided into three independent vibration units (bass, midrange, and treble), each capable of generating specific frequency ranges. This segmentation allows each unit to be optimized for its frequency band while being integrated into a compact structure, resolving the contradiction between space utilization and sound quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The midrange vibration unit and treble vibration unit are arranged on one side of the magnetic circuit system with the midrange unit surrounding the treble unit, creating a nested configuration. The bass vibration unit is positioned on the opposite side. This nesting approach maximizes space utilization while maintaining adequate size for each vibration unit to deliver quality sound.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Device complexity

If bass speaker and treble speaker are assembled into one electronic device, then device integration is improved, but full-frequency effects are reduced due to size restrictions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice integrationVSAvoidfull-frequency effects
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the frequency response into three distinct bands handled by separate vibration units, allowing each unit to be sized appropriately for its frequency range. This segmentation enables full-frequency effects to be maintained despite the integrated compact design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes three-dimensional space arrangement by positioning the midrange and treble units on one side of the magnetic circuit system while placing the bass unit on the opposite side. This spatial arrangement in multiple dimensions allows for better frequency separation and full-frequency effects within a compact integrated device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If bass unit is designed for low-frequency performance, then bass performance is improved, but midrange performance cannot be fully utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebass performanceVSAvoidmidrange performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration system is segmented into three independent units, each dedicated to a specific frequency range. The bass vibration unit is optimized for low-frequency performance, while the midrange and treble units are separately designed to handle their respective frequency bands, allowing all three performance aspects to be fully utilized simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each vibration unit is designed with local quality optimization for its specific frequency range. The bass unit has characteristics optimized for low-frequency response, while the midrange and treble units have characteristics optimized for their respective higher frequency ranges, enabling the system to achieve excellent performance across all frequency bands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
