Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a complete sheet membrane with cone-shaped structure is used and the voice coil is directly adhered to it, then the membrane can be simply structured, but segmentation vibration occurs and energy distribution becomes imbalanced, resulting in high distortion rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemembrane structureVSAvoiddistortion rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The membrane is divided into multiple independent vibration units (first membrane, second membrane, third membrane) instead of using a single complete sheet. Each membrane unit can vibrate independently, preventing segmentation vibration and improving energy distribution balance, thereby reducing distortion rate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If a centering support plate is adhered to the voice coil skeleton, then the structure can be stabilized, but the centering support plate occupies the voice coil position, resulting in thicker overall structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidoverall thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The centering support plate is extracted from the voice coil position and relocated to the membrane holder position. This eliminates the occupation of the voice coil position by the centering support plate, allowing for a thinner overall structure while maintaining structural stability through the membrane holder's support function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If traditional dampers with centering support plate and folding ring are used, then damping function can be provided, but the centering support plate is prone to aging and fatigue resistance decreases with use time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedamping functionVSAvoidfatigue resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The damper material is changed from traditional aging-prone materials to elastic rubber vulcanization material. This material parameter change provides excellent fatigue resistance and durability, eliminating the aging problem while maintaining the damping function for long-term reliable operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Device complexity

If no phase correction measures are implemented, then the structure can be simple, but severe phase distortion and sound interference occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidphase distortion
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

A phase ball assembly is introduced as an intermediary component between the membrane holder and the membrane units. This phase ball assembly generates phase difference to correct phase distortion and eliminate sound interference, while maintaining structural simplicity through its compact design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The system achieves ultra-thin structure, improved stability, reduced distortion, and enhanced sound quality by fixing the drive component directly to the support frame, using elastic rubber vulcanization for dampers, and incorporating a phase ball assembly to correct phase distortion.

Implementation Method 1

The drive component can receive alternating current and generate an electromagnetic field, thereby causing the drive component to vibrate and drive the membrane assembly on the membrane holder to vibrate

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElectromagnetic field generation: Electromagnetic Induction

Implementation Method 2

when the vibration frequency of the phase ball assembly is coupled with a preset frequency, its vibration direction deviates from the vibration direction of the membrane, and a phase difference is generated, thereby achieving the correction or cancellation of phase distortion

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectVibration: Vibration

Implementation Method 3

using elastic rubber vulcanization for dampers

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

Implementation Method 4

The first damper is directly connected to the support frame... The second damper is sleeved on the outer side of the membrane holder

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectDamping: Damping
