Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional linear vibrating motors have limited mass block size due to large elastic support members, leading to increased resonant frequency and reduced low-frequency performance.

Innovation Solution

The design features elastic support members with a transverse cross structure, where two elastic arms with a wider vertical width and narrower transverse width are used, reducing vibration space usage and allowing for a larger mass block, while maintaining or improving elastic restoring force and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional elastic support members (elastic sheets or springs) are used, then the welding firmness and vibration stability are guaranteed, but the vibration space is increased, limiting the mass block size and reducing low-frequency performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration stabilityVSAvoidvibration space
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic support member transitions from a planar structure to a three-dimensional transverse cross structure. The two elastic arms extend in the transverse direction and combine at their ends to form a cross configuration, utilizing spatial dimensions to reduce the projection area in the vibration direction while maintaining structural integrity and elastic restoring force capability

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

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic support member is divided into two separate elastic arms that are combined at their ends. Each arm can be independently designed and manufactured, and the segmentation allows the structure to achieve both compactness in the vibration direction and sufficient elastic performance through the combined configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the elastic support member uses a transverse cross structure, then the vibration space is reduced and mass block size can be increased, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemass block sizeVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The two elastic arms are combined at their ends through welding or other connection methods to form an integrated transverse cross structure. This merging creates a unified component that functions as a single elastic support member, reducing the number of separate parts while achieving the desired compact geometry

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic arms are designed with specific dimensional parameters, where the width in the vertical direction is greater than the width in the transverse direction. This parameter optimization allows the structure to maintain sufficient elastic restoring force while minimizing the space occupied in the vibration direction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
