Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a long neck and large sound absorption cavity are used in acoustic metamaterial, then low-frequency sound absorption performance is improved, but the occupied space increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelow-frequency sound absorption performanceVSAvoidoccupied space
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The neck is nested inside the sound absorption cavity, with the neck's outer surface positioned within the cavity's internal space. This allows the neck to be contained within the cavity volume rather than extending externally, significantly reducing the overall occupied space while maintaining the necessary neck length for low-frequency resonance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from a conventional external neck configuration to an internal neck arrangement, utilizing the three-dimensional space within the cavity. By placing the neck inside the cavity and configuring its opening to face a specific direction, the design achieves effective sound absorption in a compact footprint

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