1Force

If a high driving voltage is applied to increase the output force of the linear vibration motor, then the driving capability is improved, but the vibrator may collide with the inner wall causing abnormal noise and reducing reliability

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism by detecting acceleration signals from the vibrator and analyzing them to determine if abnormal collisions are occurring. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts the driving voltage to prevent collisions, thus maintaining reliability while allowing high voltage operation for improved output force.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamic adjustment of the driving voltage based on real-time vibration detection. Instead of using a fixed high voltage, the system dynamically modulates the voltage level according to the detected vibration state, allowing the motor to operate at high power when safe and reduce voltage when collision risk is detected, thereby resolving the contradiction between force output and reliability.
