Solution Overview

Problem

Higher power operation in speakers leads to increased displacement range of the voice coil, causing side-to-side shaking and instability, which affects the quality of treble sound emission.

Innovation Solution

A speaker design incorporating a magnetic circuit system with a balance element that includes a deforming portion, fixing portion, and supporting portion, connected to the voice coil, which stabilizes its movement path and prevents horizontal swinging, ensuring stable treble quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If higher power operation is used, then the displacement range of the voice coil increases, but the voice coil experiences side-to-side shaking and instability

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

A balance element is introduced as an intermediary component between the voice coil and the frame. This balance element includes a fixing portion connected to the frame, a deforming portion, and a supporting portion connected to the voice coil. The deforming portion acts as a flexible intermediary that allows vertical movement while restricting horizontal displacement, thereby preventing side-to-side shaking of the voice coil during high-power operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The balance element utilizes elastic deformation characteristics to change its mechanical properties dynamically. The deforming portion is designed with specific elastic modulus and geometric parameters that allow it to deform vertically under voice coil movement while maintaining rigidity against horizontal forces, thus adapting the structural parameters to achieve both large displacement range and movement stability.

Solution Approach 1:

The balance element serves as a mediator that decouples the vertical motion required for high power output from the harmful horizontal swinging that degrades treble quality. By connecting the voice coil to the frame through this intermediary structure with specific elastic properties, the system achieves large displacement ranges for high power while the balance element filters out horizontal vibrations, preserving treble quality.
