Problem

The conventional receiver assembly process requires two steps, increasing production costs and time due to separate components for the lower housing and yoke, necessitating a one-step integration for the rear cavity housing.

Innovation Solution

The receiver features an integral third housing with a magnetic conductive piece and plastic piece injection-molded together, forming a magnetic circuit system, allowing for one-step assembly via ultrasonic welding, simplifying the production process and reducing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the lower housing and yoke are separate components requiring two-step assembly, then the structural flexibility is improved, but the production complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural flexibilityVSAvoidassembly process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the lower housing and yoke into a single integrated component. The lower housing includes an integrated yoke structure that is formed as one piece, eliminating the need for separate assembly steps. This merging of components directly reduces assembly complexity while maintaining structural flexibility through the integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If the lower housing and yoke are separate components requiring two-step assembly, then the manufacturing flexibility is improved, but the productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing flexibilityVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The lower housing and yoke are merged into a single integrated component manufactured in one step. The injection molding process creates both structures simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate manufacturing and assembly operations. This significantly improves productivity by reducing the number of assembly steps while maintaining manufacturing flexibility through the molding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated design performs the function of both the lower housing and yoke in a single manufacturing action. The injection molding process simultaneously creates the housing structure and the magnetic yoke, performing multiple manufacturing functions in advance of what would traditionally require separate steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the lower housing and yoke are separate components requiring two-step assembly, then the structural adaptability is improved, but the production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural adaptabilityVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the yoke structure into the lower housing as a single component. This eliminates the need for separate manufacturing processes and assembly operations, reducing labor costs, material handling costs, and production time. The integrated design maintains structural adaptability while significantly lowering production costs through process simplification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
