Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speakers in portable electronic devices face limitations in achieving thinness due to the height of the coil and magnet, leading to poor acoustic performance and single-ended drive with large amplitude attraction, resulting in a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A speaker design with a moving iron assembly system featuring dual magnetic structures at both ends of the housing, each with a movable iron unit and coil, allowing for balanced drive and magnetic flux control, and incorporating a magnetic conductive diaphragm and coils to enhance vibration and sound production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Force

If the coil and magnet are stacked with large amplitude driving requirements, then the driving force is improved, but the overall height of the speaker increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving forceVSAvoidoverall height
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The single coil-magnet assembly is segmented into two separate coil-magnet assemblies positioned at opposite ends of the housing. Each assembly independently drives its respective movable iron unit, eliminating the need for a tall stacked configuration while maintaining strong driving force through distributed magnetic structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design transitions from a vertical stacking arrangement (height dimension) to a horizontal distribution arrangement (length dimension). The two magnetic structures are spaced apart horizontally within the housing, allowing the speaker to achieve thinness in the height direction while maintaining driving capability through the distributed horizontal configuration.

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

2Device complexity

If a single moving iron and moving iron assembly system is used, then the structure is simple, but the driving effect is poor with large amplitude attraction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoiddriving effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSForce

Solution Approach 1:

The single moving iron assembly is divided into two separate movable iron units, each associated with its own magnetic structure and coil. This segmentation allows both units to be driven simultaneously in opposite directions, creating balanced dual-ended drive that eliminates the large amplitude attraction problems of single-ended drive while keeping the overall structure relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Force

If the magnets are staggered and placed on both sides of the coil, then the driving force is improved, but the overall height increases limiting thinness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving forceVSAvoidoverall height
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The single coil with staggered magnets is segmented into two separate coil-magnet assemblies. Each assembly has its coil and magnets positioned at opposite ends of the housing, eliminating the need for vertical stacking or staggered placement that increases height. The magnetic structures are distributed horizontally, maintaining thinness while providing strong driving force.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
