Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If sound-absorbing cotton is added to the back cavity to reduce resonant frequency peaks, then intermediate-frequency valleys and peaks are alleviated, but other acoustic performances such as quality factor, resonant frequency, and amplitude are negatively affected

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing frequency response regulation modules with specific resonant frequencies tailored to different frequency bands. The back cavity is divided into multiple regions with different acoustic characteristics, where each regulation module targets specific frequency ranges (low-frequency, intermediate-frequency, high-frequency) with customized resonant frequencies to achieve precise acoustic control without compromising overall performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes acoustic parameters by adjusting the resonant frequencies of regulation modules within the back cavity. By modifying parameters such as the volume, shape, and position of regulation modules, the system achieves different resonant frequencies that can be tuned to match or counteract specific frequency response characteristics, thereby improving intermediate-frequency sensation without negatively affecting other acoustic parameters

Inventive Principle:

2Manufacturing precision

If the back cavity volume is enlarged to improve low-frequency sensation, then low-frequency performance is enhanced, but the rigidity of the product system decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the back cavity into multiple functional regions by introducing frequency response regulation modules. Instead of treating the back cavity as a single large volume, it is divided into sub-regions with different acoustic functions, allowing the system to achieve enhanced low-frequency sensation through localized volume optimization rather than overall enlargement, thereby maintaining system rigidity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Manufacturing precision

If high-frequency sensation is extended by using materials with larger hardness or adding dish structures, then high-frequency performance is improved, but the quality factor becomes larger and intermediate-frequency and low-frequency sensations are lowered

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing frequency response regulation modules with specific resonant frequencies tailored to different frequency bands. The back cavity is divided into multiple regions with different acoustic characteristics, where each regulation module targets specific frequency ranges (low-frequency, intermediate-frequency, high-frequency) with customized resonant frequencies to achieve precise acoustic control without compromising overall performance

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes mechanical vibration principles by designing regulation modules that generate controlled vibrations at specific resonant frequencies. These vibrations interact with the acoustic field in the back cavity to enhance desired frequency responses. By carefully selecting the resonant frequencies of the regulation modules, the system can boost high-frequency sensation while simultaneously compensating for intermediate-frequency and low-frequency losses through constructive interference and resonance coupling
