Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light-emitting loudspeakers have a complex structure, occupy internal space, and have inconvenient installation and disassembly, limiting their visual comfort and aesthetic appeal.

Innovation Solution

A mesh cover with a light-emitting member arranged on its surface, utilizing a light guide material layer to refract and scatter light, providing flexible lighting options and saving internal space, while allowing for easy installation and disassembly, and transforming non-light-emitting loudspeakers into light-emitting ones.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a light-emitting assembly is arranged inside a loudspeaker, then the loudspeaker can emit light, but it occupies internal space and has complex structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting functionVSAvoidinternal space of loudspeaker
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The light-emitting member is extracted from the internal space of the loudspeaker and relocated to the external mesh cover. The mesh cover is detachably connected to the loudspeaker body, allowing the light-emitting function to be achieved without occupying the loudspeaker's internal space, thus resolving the contradiction between achieving light-emitting capability and preserving internal space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The light-emitting structure is moved from the internal three-dimensional space to the external two-dimensional surface of the mesh cover. This dimensional transition allows the light-emitting member to be arranged on the outer surface of the mesh cover rather than inside the loudspeaker, eliminating space occupation while maintaining the light-emitting function.

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

2Ease of manufacture

If a light-emitting assembly is arranged inside a loudspeaker, then the loudspeaker can emit light, but installation and disassembly are inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting functionVSAvoidinstallation and disassembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The loudspeaker system is segmented into a loudspeaker body and a detachable mesh cover assembly. The light-emitting member is integrated with the mesh cover, which can be independently removed and installed. This segmentation enables convenient installation and disassembly of the light-emitting component without affecting the loudspeaker body, resolving the contradiction between achieving light-emitting function and ensuring ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If flash light devices are arranged around the loudspeaker, then the loudspeaker can emit light, but the structure becomes complex and occupies space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting functionVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The light-emitting member is merged with the mesh cover to form an integrated assembly. The mesh cover serves dual functions as both a protective cover and a light-emitting carrier. This merging simplifies the overall structure by eliminating the need for separate light-emitting devices around the loudspeaker, reducing structural complexity while maintaining the light-emitting function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A loudspeaker mesh cover and a light-emitting loudspeaker having same are provided, the loudspeaker mesh cover is installed outside a loudspeaker, so as to play a certain protective role on the loudspeaker, enrich the light-emitting way and save the internal space of the loudspeaker. In addition, a light-emitting member is more convenient to disassemble in relative to a way of fixing a light-emitting assembly inside the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker mesh cover provided by the present disclosure may transform non-light-emitting loudspeakers on the market into light-emitting loudspeakers, so as to meet the demands of consumers for loudspeakers.
