Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a linear motor vibrates in a single direction, then the structure is simple, but the vibration sense provided for different application scenarios is small
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by enabling the vibrator assembly to vibrate in multiple directions (first direction and second direction perpendicular to each other) instead of a single direction. The magnets are magnetized obliquely to generate driving forces in both the first and second directions, allowing the motor to provide diverse vibration sensations for different application scenarios while maintaining a relatively simple structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a linear motor provides single vibration mode, then the device is simple to control, but the vibration feedback is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the vibration characteristics adjustable and variable. The vibrator assembly can vibrate at different frequencies (first vibration frequency in the first direction, second vibration frequency in the second direction) depending on the application scenario. This dynamic capability allows the motor to adapt to different vibration feedback requirements while the control system manages the complexity through scenario-based frequency selection.

AI summary
The present invention provides a vibrating motor, an electronic device, and a control method. The vibrating motor includes a housing, a vibrator assembly and a solenoid assembly. The vibrator assembly includes a mass block defining an accommodating cavity and magnets accommodated in accommodating cavity. The mass block are elastically connected to the housing. The magnets are magnetized for providing driving forces in a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The vibrator assembly vibrates along the first direction at a first vibration frequency. The vibrator assembly vibrates along the second direction at a second vibration frequency, or the solenoid assembly vibrates along the second direction at a third vibration frequency. The vibrating motor provide vibration senses in different directions and provide large vibration senses for different application scenarios, which is conducive to realization of multiple vibration feedback.
