Massage Device Sound Output Module with Protruding Emitter
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current massage devices with sound output modules lack a mechanism to effectively protrude sound emitting elements, limiting their ability to provide immersive audio experiences during massage sessions.
Innovation Solution
A sound output module comprising a sound generating part, a sound emitting member, an actuator, and an external driven member that allows the sound emitting member to protrude linearly due to the movement of the external driven member, enhancing audio output and user engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the sound output module uses a fixed sound emitting member, then the structure is simple, but the audio immersion and user engagement are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The sound emitting member is transformed from a fixed component to a dynamic one that can protrude and retract. The actuator drives the external driven member to move linearly, causing the sound emitting member to protrude outward during massage operations, thereby enhancing audio immersion without requiring a completely redesign of the system architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The sound emitting member is nested within the sound output module housing, and the external driven member is nested within the sound emitting member or housing. This nested arrangement allows the sound emitting member to protrude when needed while maintaining a compact structure when retracted, effectively managing the contradiction between immersion capability and structural complexity
2Productivity
If the sound emitting member protrudes outward, then audio output and user engagement improve, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sound output module is segmented into distinct functional components: the sound generating part, the sound emitting member, the actuator, and the external driven member. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, enabling the sound emitting member to protrude for enhanced audio output while keeping the overall mechanism manageable through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The external driven member acts as an intermediary between the actuator and the sound emitting member. The actuator provides driving force to the external driven member, which then transmits this force to enable the sound emitting member to protrude. This intermediary mechanism distributes the functional requirements across multiple components, reducing the complexity burden on any single element
