Solution Overview

Problem

Existing head-mounted devices with single-speaker loud-speaking units face limitations in acoustic performance due to reduced sound quality and increased sound transmitting distance, especially in limited spaces.

Innovation Solution

A loud-speaking apparatus with multiple loudspeakers sharing a front and rear sound cavity, optimized for compact designs, reduces sound transmitting distance and enhances acoustic performance by arranging sub-cavities and loudspeakers in a shell assembly for improved power distribution and space efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single-speaker design is used in the loud-speaking unit, then the device structure is simple, but the acoustic performance deteriorates due to reduced sound quality and increased sound transmitting distance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloud-speaking unit structureVSAvoidacoustic performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The loud-speaking unit is segmented into multiple independent loudspeakers (at least two) instead of using a single speaker. Each loudspeaker has its own voice coil and magnet assembly, allowing them to operate independently to improve acoustic performance and reduce sound transmitting distance while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If multiple loudspeakers are used to improve acoustic performance, then the sound quality improves, but the device complexity and space requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveacoustic performanceVSAvoidloud-speaking unit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple loudspeakers are merged into a single integrated loud-speaking unit assembly. The loudspeakers share common structural elements including the housing, mounting mechanisms, and electrical connections, which reduces overall device complexity while maintaining improved acoustic performance through the multiple speaker configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If multiple loudspeakers are used to improve acoustic performance, then the sound quality improves, but the space required in the head-mounted device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveacoustic performanceVSAvoidloud-speaking unit volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The loudspeakers are arranged in a compact three-dimensional configuration within the loud-speaking unit. By utilizing vertical stacking and optimized spatial arrangement, multiple loudspeakers are accommodated in a reduced volume that fits within the constraints of head-mounted devices, thereby improving acoustic performance without significantly increasing the required space.

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