Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a high modulus vibrating plate is attached on the central part of the diaphragm to improve high-frequency performance, then the high-frequency performance is improved, but the adjustment space is limited which limits the acoustic performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehigh-frequency performanceVSAvoidadjustment space
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the voice coil system into two independent parts: a vibrating voice coil attached to the diaphragm for primary sound generation, and a coupling voice coil attached to the centering support piece for high-frequency adjustment. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each coil's parameters, greatly expanding the adjustment space for acoustic performance while maintaining high-frequency performance through the coupling voice coil and coupling magnetic circuit part.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the vibration system comprises only a diaphragm and voice coil for miniaturization, then the device size is reduced, but the acoustic performance and stereo sound production are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges two voice coil systems (vibrating voice coil and coupling voice coil) and two magnetic circuit systems (main magnetic circuit and coupling magnetic circuit) into a single integrated structure. The coupling magnetic circuit part is positioned above the central magnetic circuit part, and both coils work simultaneously within the same device space. This merging allows enhanced acoustic performance through magnetic coupling while maintaining miniaturization, as the combined system achieves better sound quality without proportionally increasing device volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If the diaphragm structure is simplified for compact design, then the device complexity is reduced, but the high-frequency vibration control is insufficient causing split vibrations

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The invention introduces a coupling magnetic circuit part as an intermediary element positioned above the central magnetic circuit part. This coupling magnetic circuit part interacts with the coupling voice coil to provide additional magnetic force that stabilizes the diaphragm's high-frequency vibration. The intermediary coupling mechanism suppresses unwanted split vibrations by providing controlled magnetic interaction, thereby improving vibration stability without significantly increasing overall structural complexity.
