1Ease of manufacture

If a leakage hole with constant aperture is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the amplitude of the speaker box deviates during operation, affecting acoustic performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveleakage hole structureVSAvoidacoustic performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The leakage hole is designed with non-uniform aperture distribution, where the aperture size varies at different locations (outer surface vs inner surface). This local variation in quality allows different regions of the leakage hole to serve different functions: the larger outer aperture facilitates air flow while the smaller inner aperture provides structural stability, thereby maintaining acoustic performance without significantly complicating manufacturing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The aperture parameter of the leakage hole is changed from a constant value to a variable value that transitions from the outer surface to the inner surface. This parameter change (aperture size gradient) enables the leakage hole to dynamically adapt to pressure differential changes during speaker operation, preventing amplitude deviation while remaining manufacturable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If a leakage hole with varying aperture size is used, then acoustic performance is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The leakage hole is designed with a dynamic aperture distribution that automatically adapts to operating conditions. The aperture size gradually changes from the outer surface to the inner surface, creating a dynamic structure that responds to pressure differentials during speaker operation, thereby maintaining optimal acoustic performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The leakage hole design extends into the third dimension by creating a gradient aperture structure that varies along the depth of the hole (from outer to inner surface). This dimensional variation allows the leakage hole to control air flow more precisely while maintaining manufacturability through standard drilling and machining processes

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

AI summary

The present invention provides a speaker box including a housing having a receiving room and a speaker received in the receiving room. The speaker includes a frame, a diaphragm and a magnetic circuit system supported on the frame. The speaker separates the receiving room into a front cavity for transmitting a sound and a rear cavity. The speaker has a back cavity, and the back cavity is communicated with the rear cavity. The housing includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The housing includes a leakage hole communicating the rear cavity and an outside. The speaker box further includes an air-permeable mesh covering the leakage hole. A size of the leakage hole located on the outer surface is larger than the size of the leakage hole located on the inner surface. The speaker box of present invention can effectively avoid the problem of amplitude deviation during work.
