Solution Overview

Problem

The existing sounding devices in mobile terminals face inefficiencies in mounting breathable spacers, leading to low mounting efficiency and limited leakage patency, resulting in poor acoustic performance due to one-way leakage and flexibility issues.

Innovation Solution

A sounding device design featuring a plastic sealer injection-molded on the magnetic yoke with multiple leak holes, replacing the breathable spacer, allowing for smoother leakage and improved acoustic performance by forming an inner sounding cavity that connects with the outside, enhancing the leakage patency in the XYZ space.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a breathable spacer is mounted on the magnetic yoke to achieve dust protection and sound pressure balance, then the dust protection function is improved, but the mounting efficiency is low and the leakage patency is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust protectionVSAvoidmounting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the dust protection function and the sound pressure balance function into a single integrated structure. The magnetic yoke itself is designed with dust-proof features while the cavity structure provides both sealing and controlled leakage pathways, eliminating the need for separate breathable spacer components and improving mounting efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic yoke is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides magnetic flux conduction, dust protection, and controlled sound pressure balance through its integrated cavity structure. This multi-functional design replaces the traditional separate breathable spacer component, improving both mounting efficiency and overall device performance.

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

2Reliability

If a breathable spacer is used for sound pressure balance, then the dust protection is improved, but the leakage patency is limited due to one-way leakage and flexibility issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust protectionVSAvoidleakage patency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic leakage pathways through the cavity structure that can adapt to different pressure conditions. The design allows for multi-directional air flow through strategically positioned openings and channels, enabling the system to respond dynamically to pressure changes while maintaining dust protection, thereby improving leakage patency beyond the limitations of static breathable spacers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If a breathable spacer is injection molded on the frame or mounted on the magnetic yoke, then the dust protection is achieved, but the mounting efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust protectionVSAvoidmounting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the dust protection function directly into the magnetic yoke structure through integrated cavity design. The magnetic yoke is manufactured as a single piece with built-in dust-proof features and sound pressure balance channels, eliminating the need for separate breathable spacer components and their associated mounting processes, thereby significantly improving manufacturing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Productivity

If a plastic sealer is injection molded on the magnetic yoke with leak holes, then the mounting efficiency is improved and cost is reduced, but the structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting efficiencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complex breathable spacer component and its mounting process from the system. Instead of adding a separate plastic sealer with leak holes, the design uses the existing magnetic yoke structure with integrated cavity and opening features to achieve the same function, thereby improving mounting efficiency while avoiding increased structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
