Solution Overview

Problem

The existing sounding devices in mobile communication devices have a complex structure due to the inclusion of a skeleton, which increases manufacturing costs, assembly complexity, and device weight.

Innovation Solution

The proposed sounding device eliminates the skeleton by integrating a protruded platform of the dome with the dome body, using a reinforcement element to stabilize the voice coil and conductive element, thereby reducing assembly complexity and weight.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a skeleton is provided in the sounding device, then the position of the voice coil is adjusted and vibration amplitude symmetry is improved, but the number of parts increases, manufacturing cost increases, assembly process becomes more complex, and overall weight increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration amplitude symmetryVSAvoidnumber of parts
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the dome part and suspension into a single integrated dome structure. The suspension is formed as an integral part of the dome, eliminating the need for separate skeleton components. This integration maintains the structural support function while reducing the total number of parts and simplifying manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated dome structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the acoustic diaphragm, provides structural support, positions the voice coil, and maintains vibration symmetry. This multi-functional design replaces the specialized skeleton components with a single universal element.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If a skeleton is provided in the sounding device, then the position of the voice coil is adjusted and vibration amplitude symmetry is improved, but the assembly process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

By combining the dome and suspension into one integral structure, the patent reduces the number of assembly steps. The voice coil is positioned and supported by the integrated dome structure, eliminating the need for separate skeleton assembly operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If a skeleton is provided in the sounding device, then the position of the voice coil is adjusted and vibration amplitude symmetry is improved, but the overall weight increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The integration of dome and suspension into a single structure eliminates redundant materials and reduces overall weight while maintaining the structural integrity needed for vibration symmetry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Device complexity

If the voice coil and conductive element are connected only by voice coil wire, then the structure is simple, but the connection stability is insufficient and separation may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
