Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sound devices exhibit asymmetric sound quality and large amplitude differences between the sound hole side and non-sound hole side due to the fixation of the magnet assembly blocking the front cavity, leading to suboptimal acoustic performance.

Innovation Solution

A sound device design featuring a frame with a through hole on the side away from the sound outlet, symmetrically arranged with respect to the frame's axis, and a magnet system with a central assembly and side magnets to balance sound quality and reduce amplitude differences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the magnet assembly is fixed to the housing, then the magnet assembly is stable and supported, but it blocks part of the front cavity resulting in asymmetric sound quality and large amplitude difference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnet assembly stabilityVSAvoidasymmetric sound quality and amplitude difference
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the harmful blocking effect by introducing a through hole in the frame that removes the obstruction caused by the magnet assembly fixation, allowing sound waves to pass through and eliminating the asymmetry in sound quality and amplitude distribution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies asymmetry by positioning the through hole specifically on the side of the frame away from the sound outlet, creating a symmetric sound field distribution that counterbalances the asymmetric blocking effect of the fixed magnet assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Device complexity

If the magnet assembly blocks part of the front cavity, then the magnet assembly structure is simple, but the sound quality becomes asymmetric with large amplitude difference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnet assembly structureVSAvoidasymmetric sound quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The through hole extracts the harmful blocking function while preserving the simple fixation structure of the magnet assembly, removing only the obstructive effect on sound waves without complicating the mechanical support structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
