Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If high power is applied to the loudspeaker for low-frequency operation, then the power output is improved, but the voice coil displacement becomes excessive causing distortion and potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The capacitor structure is pre-configured between the voice coil and magnetic circuit system to detect displacement before damage occurs. The detection capability is established in advance, allowing the system to monitor and control power application proactively rather than reactively.
Solution Approach 2:
The capacitor structure provides real-time feedback on voice coil displacement by measuring capacitance changes. This feedback mechanism enables the system to monitor displacement continuously and adjust power application accordingly, preventing excessive displacement and potential damage while maintaining high power output capability.
2Device complexity
If theoretical models are used to monitor vibration displacement, then the monitoring system is simple, but the measurement accuracy is limited due to model differences from actual product
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces theoretical mechanical models with a direct electrical measurement system using a capacitor. The capacitor structure directly measures displacement through capacitance changes, eliminating the need for theoretical models and their associated inaccuracies while maintaining system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The capacitor structure serves as an intermediary measurement element that directly couples the mechanical displacement of the voice coil to an electrical signal. This intermediary provides accurate real-time displacement data without requiring complex theoretical models, bridging the gap between mechanical motion and electrical measurement.
