Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic devices with integrated speakers cannot adjust the position of the sound source, which limits the user's ability to customize their hearing experience based on individual preferences or hearing differences.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a movable sound source, featuring a movable frame with a sound source and an adjustment circuit, allowing users to adjust the position and audio signal of the sound source through a trigger and elastic element mechanism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the sound source position is fixed in the housing, then the device structure is simple and stable, but the user cannot adjust the sound source position to customize hearing experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound source position adjustment capabilityVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sound source is mounted on a movable frame that can be dynamically repositioned along the slide rail, transforming the fixed sound source design into an adjustable one. This allows the sound source position to change according to user needs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through guided linear motion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device is divided into separate functional modules: a movable frame carrying the sound source, a slide rail providing guidance, and an elastic element with stopper for positioning. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component and simplifies the overall structure by using standardized elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the sound source position is fixed, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the user hearing experience cannot be optimized for individual preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser ability to customize hearing experienceVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic element with stopper provides self-service positioning functionality, allowing users to easily adjust and lock the sound source position without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms or specialized tools. The spring-loaded stopper automatically engages with the slide rail to maintain position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The movable frame design enables dynamic repositioning of the sound source, allowing users to optimize their hearing experience by adjusting the sound source to different positions along the slide rail, thereby accommodating individual preferences and hearing characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a movable frame with trigger and elastic element is added, then the sound source position can be adjusted, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound source position adjustabilityVSAvoidmechanism structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic element with stopper acts as an intermediary mechanism between the movable frame and the slide rail, providing a simple yet effective means of achieving adjustable positioning. This intermediary component enables position adjustment without requiring complex locking mechanisms or motors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The trigger mechanism replaces complex electronic or motorized adjustment systems with a simple mechanical actuation method. When the trigger is pressed, it releases the elastic element to engage or disengage the stopper, enabling position changes through basic mechanical action rather than complex control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
