Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional speaker diaphragm structures result in a significant loss of effective vibration area due to the edge dome's outermost structure design, leading to reduced sound pressure and limitations in thin-walled speaker applications.

Innovation Solution

A novel adhesive structure is introduced for the edge dome of the diaphragm, with a first adhesive portion extending outward and a complementary second adhesive portion on an adhesion target member, forming an adhered portion with a thickness of 0.2 mm or less from the outermost point to the edge dome start, and an angle of 30 to 90° between the first adhesive portion and the horizontal plane.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If the edge dome is designed with a horizontal outermost surface contacting the ring, then the structure is simple and stable, but the effective vibration area is reduced due to the lost portion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffective vibration areaVSAvoidadhesive structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive portion is segmented into a first adhesive portion on the edge dome and a second adhesive portion on the adhesion target member, allowing independent optimization of each segment's geometry and material properties to maximize vibration area while maintaining structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive portion is designed with a downward inclination at 30-90 degrees, transitioning from a horizontal 2D contact to a tilted 3D surface, which extends the adhesive contact area and eliminates the lost portion while maintaining stable fixation

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

2Area of moving object

If the adhesive portion thickness is reduced to 0.2 mm or less, then the effective vibration area is maximized, but the stability and durability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive portion is designed with specific geometric parameters including a downward inclination angle of 30-90 degrees and a thickness of 0.2 mm or less, which optimizes the balance between vibration area maximization and structural reliability through precise parameter control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive portion utilizes adhesive materials with optimized properties that provide sufficient bonding strength and durability despite the reduced thickness, achieving reliable fixation while minimizing the lost portion and maximizing vibration area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Strength

If the diaphragm plate thickness is increased to exceed 100 μm, then the structural strength is improved, but it does not fit TWS application requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediaphragm structural strengthVSAvoidTWS application compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The diaphragm plate thickness is optimized to 100 μm or less, and the adhesive portion thickness is reduced to 0.2 mm or less, achieving the necessary thinness for TWS applications while maintaining sufficient structural strength through improved material properties and geometric design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
