Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional magnetic-potential transducers face limitations in driving force and displacement due to the strength and tightness of their movable members, which are made of lighter iron-based alloys, leading to insufficient performance in sound generation.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic-potential loudspeaker design that incorporates a magnetic conductive material arranged in an area where an alternating magnetic field overlaps with a static magnetic field, driven by a suspension device with an elastic recovery mechanism and a rigidity adjusting portion to enhance the structural integrity and displacement of the diaphragm, allowing for improved driving force and electrical-mechanical conversion efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If a magnetic conductive material with smaller volume is used as the driving element, then the vibration mass becomes lighter, but the strength and tightness of the movable member are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration massVSAvoidstrength and tightness of movable member
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining the magnetic conductive material (for light weight) with a rigidity adjusting portion made of different materials having appropriate rigidity and strength. This composite structure allows the movable member to maintain both light weight and sufficient strength/tightness, resolving the contradiction between lightweight design and structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The rigidity adjusting portion is strategically positioned at specific locations on the movable member where additional strength is needed. This local reinforcement approach maintains overall light weight while providing targeted strength enhancement in critical areas, resolving the contradiction between lightweight design and structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Power

If the movable member moves in translation, then the driving volume increases, but the strength and tightness limitations become more critical

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving volumeVSAvoidstrength and tightness of movable member
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The composite structure of magnetic conductive material combined with rigidity adjusting portion enables the movable member to achieve both translation motion capability (high driving volume) and sufficient strength/tightness. The rigidity adjusting portion provides the necessary structural support for translation motion while maintaining light weight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Strength

If copper-based alloy with density greater than 8.9 is used for the coil, then the strength is maintained, but the density is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestrength of lead wiresVSAvoiddensity of coil
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter (density) of the coil from traditional copper-based alloy (density > 8.9) to aluminum-containing copper wire with lower density. This parameter change reduces the weight of the coil while maintaining acceptable strength through optimized wire composition and design.
