Solution Overview

Problem

Miniaturization of electric loudspeakers is hindered by manufacturing costs and reduced low-frequency response, which limits their application in consumer devices and results in limited heat dissipation and maximum output current.

Innovation Solution

The design includes a cavity with a vibration film, a movable magnet, and a linking-up unit, such as a reed, that adjusts the magnetic field in response to electronic signals, allowing for increased current flow through coils with more turns, enhancing magnetic force and low-frequency response while maintaining sound pressure level.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the size of electric loudspeaker is reduced for miniaturization, then the device can be applied to hand-held electronic devices, but the low frequency response decreases and heat dissipation ability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesize of loudspeakerVSAvoidlow frequency response
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The loudspeaker is divided into multiple independent coil assemblies, each with its own magnet and vibration film portion. This segmentation allows each coil to be optimized for specific frequency ranges, with multiple coils working together to achieve full-range sound output including low frequencies, thereby maintaining reliability while enabling miniaturization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple coil assemblies are arranged in a nested or compact configuration where coils are positioned at different locations around a central vibration film. This nesting approach maximizes the use of available space, allowing multiple functional elements to coexist in a minimized volume while maintaining their individual performance characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Power

If larger current is supplied to coils to increase bass output, then low frequency response improves, but heat dissipation ability is limited due to fixed connection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebass outputVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration film is divided into multiple portions, each connected to a separate coil assembly. This segmentation distributes the electrical current and thermal load across multiple independent coils rather than concentrating it in a single coil, improving heat dissipation capability while maintaining the power needed for strong bass output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of increasing current through a single coil in one dimension, the solution distributes multiple coils in spatial dimensions around the vibration film. This multi-dimensional arrangement allows current to be distributed across multiple pathways, reducing thermal concentration while maintaining total power output for bass response.

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