Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speaker brackets with cutting holes for mounting plates lack sufficient strength and compromise workability when installing or removing speakers in different vehicle structures.

Innovation Solution

A speaker bracket design featuring a support portion with a mounting member having grooves of different extending directions to maintain strength and enhance workability during installation and removal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If cutting holes are formed on mounting plates for speaker installation, then workability in bending and removing mounting plates is improved, but strength of the mounting structure becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkability in bending and removing mounting platesVSAvoidstrength of mounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The base portion is segmented into multiple groove regions (first groove, second groove, third groove) with different extending directions, allowing selective removal of mounting plates while maintaining structural integrity through the grooved design that distributes stress

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different groove regions are positioned at specific locations on the mounting member base portion to provide localized flexibility for plate removal while maintaining overall strength, with each groove serving a specific functional purpose in the mounting/dismounting process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If mounting plates are used to attach speaker to various vehicle structures, then adaptability to different vehicle models is improved, but structural integrity of the mounting member is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different vehicle modelsVSAvoidstructural integrity of mounting member
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting member provides dynamic adaptability through multiple groove configurations that allow the structure to be modified according to different vehicle door structures, enabling the same base portion to accommodate various mounting scenarios while maintaining structural integrity through the grooved reinforcement design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A bracket for a speaker is capable of ensuring strength when the speaker is attached by using an attachment plate, and enhances workability in folding of the attachment plate when the speaker is attached without using the attachment plate. The bracket includes a frame-shaped support portion which supports a speaker, and a mounting member which is used for attaching the speaker supported by the support portion to the outside and is provided in the support portion. A plurality of grooves having different extension directions are continuously formed on a base part of the mounting member, the base part connecting the mounting member and the support portion.
