Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speaker boxes face challenges with excessive overall height due to glue usage, leading to increased volume and inadequate anti-shell vibration performance.

Innovation Solution

A speaker box design featuring an upper and lower cover with integrated steel sheets, an insert plate dividing the rear cavity into two sections, and a fixing groove for glue injection, which reduces the impact of glue on height and enhances anti-vibration by forming a buffer after solidification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If glue is used to fix the insert plate between the upper cover and lower cover, then the anti-shell vibration effect is improved, but the overall height of the insert plate becomes excessively high, increasing the overall volume of the speaker box

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-shell vibration effectVSAvoidoverall height of insert plate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from surface-level glue application to a through-hole injection approach, utilizing the vertical dimension (depth) of the fixing groove to contain the adhesive. This allows the glue to be injected through the insert plate into the groove, providing vibration damping without adding excessive height to the overall assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing groove acts as an intermediary structure between the insert plate and the upper/lower covers. It provides a dedicated space for glue injection that mediates between the need for strong bonding/anti-vibration performance and the constraint of limited vertical space, allowing controlled adhesive placement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If glue is injected without a fixing groove, then the mounting process is simpler, but the glue cannot be precisely controlled, leading to excessive height and poor sealing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveglue control precisionVSAvoidmounting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing groove is pre-formed in the upper cover or lower cover before assembly. This preliminary action creates a predetermined receptacle for the glue, ensuring precise control over where the adhesive is placed and how much is used, while the groove's integration into the existing structure minimizes additional manufacturing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing groove structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it guides the glue injection, contains the adhesive to prevent overflow, provides bonding surface area, and creates a cushioning effect. This self-service design achieves precise glue control without requiring complex external control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The design simplifies the mounting process, reduces the overall volume, and effectively prevents shell vibration through the use of glue injection into the fixing groove, providing improved sealing and structural integrity.

Implementation Method 1

the lower cover undergoes ultrasonic to realize soft contact of a steel sheet of the lower cover with the insert plate

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectUltrasonic vibration: Ultrasonic Vibration

Implementation Method 2

the glue has elasticity after solidification, forming a buffer at a junction between the insert plate and the steel sheet, thereby effectively preventing the problem of shell vibration

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectVibration damping: Damping
