Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the sound producing module uses a fixed structure, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the sound eliminating directivity cannot be adjusted adaptively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound eliminating directivity adjustmentVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the sound relief hole movable relative to the sound outlet. The moving plate can change its position to adjust the relative position between the sound relief hole and sound outlet, enabling adaptive sound eliminating directivity. This transforms a static structure into a dynamic one that can adapt to different environments and crowd positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the housing into a movable plate and a fixed housing body. The moving plate contains the sound relief hole and can independently move relative to the housing body, allowing the sound producing module to adjust its sound eliminating directivity without redesigning the entire structure. This segmentation enables localized adjustment while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the sound relief hole position is fixed, then the manufacturing precision requirement is low, but the privacy protection capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protection capabilityVSAvoidsound relief hole position precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

By making the sound relief hole position adjustable through the moving plate, the system can dynamically optimize privacy protection for different scenarios. The moving plate can be controlled to position the sound relief hole at different locations relative to the sound outlet, adapting to various crowd positions and environments, thereby enhancing privacy protection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the positional parameter of the sound relief hole by allowing the moving plate to move. This parameter change enables the sound producing module to adjust its sound eliminating directivity pattern, improving privacy protection. The moving mechanism allows continuous or discrete adjustment of the relative position between sound relief hole and sound outlet.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the moving plate is made flexible, then the movement range is increased, but the structural strength decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement rangeVSAvoidplate structural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a flexible plate design for the moving plate, which can bend and move to a greater extent compared to rigid plates. This flexibility allows the sound relief hole to achieve a wider range of positions relative to the sound outlet, enhancing adaptability. The flexible material maintains sufficient structural integrity while enabling increased movement range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
