Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional sounding devices in smart mobile devices lack effective low-frequency acoustic performance due to the absence of a rear cavity.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating an air-permeable mesh between the second magnet and the frame to create a rear cavity, which is filled with sound-absorbing powders, enhancing the low-frequency acoustic performance by forming a virtual acoustic cavity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If no rear cavity is provided in the sounding device, then the device structure remains simple, but the low-frequency acoustic performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structure simplicityVSAvoidlow-frequency acoustic performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a nested structure where the rear cavity is formed by utilizing the space between the magnetic circuit system components (yoke, magnets) and the frame. The air-permeable mesh is nested within this cavity space, creating a compact design that improves low-frequency response without significantly increasing overall device volume or structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The air-permeable mesh acts as an intermediary element within the rear cavity. It allows air molecules to pass through while providing structural support for the sound-absorbing powder, enabling the cavity to function as intended without compromising the voice coil assembly or other internal components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If sound-absorbing powder is added to the rear cavity, then the low-frequency acoustic performance is improved, but the risk of powder entering the inner cavity and interfering with the voice coil increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelow-frequency acoustic performanceVSAvoidvoice coil interference risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The air-permeable mesh serves as a physical barrier and intermediary between the rear cavity containing sound-absorbing powder and the inner cavity containing the voice coil. The mesh allows acoustic energy and air flow to pass through while blocking the sound-absorbing powder particles from migrating into the voice coil assembly area, thus eliminating the harmful effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The air-permeable mesh provides localized protection specifically at the boundary between the rear and inner cavities. It maintains the beneficial acoustic properties of the sound-absorbing powder in the rear cavity while creating a selective barrier that prevents powder contamination in the sensitive voice coil region, achieving different functional requirements in different spatial zones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
