Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional micro vibrating motors in portable electronics suffer from unbalanced vibration due to unequal driving forces from the magnet and stator coil, leading to non-linear vibration changes and impact on the balance of electronic products.

Innovation Solution

A linear vibrating motor design incorporating a push-pull structure with a push-pull magnet and coil, enhancing the magnetic field and providing an initial driving force for reciprocating motion, while reserving space for elastic support members, and utilizing a magnetic induction block to stabilize the vibration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a conventional micro vibrating motor uses only magnetic field force between the vibrator and coil for driving, then the structure is simple, but the vibration sense is relatively smaller and the response speed is non-uniform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidvibration sense
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSForce

Solution Approach 1:

The driving force system is segmented into two independent parts: a push-pull structure (with push-pull magnet and push-pull coil) for initial driving force, and a magnetic field force (between vibrator magnet and stator coil) for continuous vibration. This segmentation allows each part to optimize its function, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and vibration effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges two driving mechanisms (push-pull electromagnetic force and magnetic field force) into a unified vibration system. The push-pull structure provides initial impulse while the magnetic field force sustains vibration, combining advantages of both approaches to achieve uniform response speed and enhanced vibration sense without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Force

If the push-pull structure is positioned to maximize magnetic field reuse and push-pull force, then vibration sense is enhanced, but space for elastic support members is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepush-pull forceVSAvoiddesign space for elastic support members
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The push-pull structure is repositioned from a vertical arrangement to a horizontal arrangement along the vibration direction. This dimensional change allows the push-pull magnet to be located at one end of the vibrator while elastic support members are positioned at both ends, maximizing both push-pull force through magnetic field reuse and design space for support members simultaneously.

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

3Speed

If the position of the vibrator changes relative to the coil during vibration, then the magnetic field force varies, but this causes non-uniform response speed and non-linear vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidvibration balance
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The push-pull structure provides an initial driving force that pre-positioned the vibrator at optimal starting points for each vibration cycle. This preliminary action compensates for the varying magnetic field force during vibration, ensuring uniform response speed and linear vibration characteristics throughout the motion range.
