Solution Overview

Problem

Current waterproof speaker designs face issues with poor overall structural strength and drop resistance due to independent and poorly combined sealed waterproof and speaker structures, leading to high manufacturing costs and inadequate bonding of magnetic and vibration structures with simple adhesives.

Innovation Solution

The speaker device incorporates a magnetic guiding plate, magnetic circuit module, and vibration module, where the vibration module's bracket is directly fixed to the magnetic guiding plate using a hot-melt method, enhancing structural strength and drop resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the sealed waterproof structure and speaker structure are designed independently, then the manufacturing flexibility is improved, but the overall waterproof performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing flexibilityVSAvoidwaterproof performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the sealed waterproof structure and speaker structure into a unified integrated structure. The waterproof seal is directly formed as part of the speaker assembly, eliminating the need for separate waterproof structures while maintaining both manufacturing efficiency and waterproof reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the sealed waterproof structure and speaker structure are designed independently, then the design flexibility is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign flexibilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By combining the waterproof seal and speaker structure into one integrated component, the patent reduces the total number of parts and assembly steps. This integration maintains design flexibility while significantly reducing manufacturing costs through simplified production processes and reduced assembly complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If the magnetic circuit structure and vibration structure are bonded with simple adhesives, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the anti-drop effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidanti-drop effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the speaker structure into modular components (magnetic circuit structure and vibration structure) that are precisely positioned and then bonded. This segmentation allows for simple adhesive bonding while ensuring proper alignment and distribution of bonding stress, thereby improving drop resistance without sacrificing manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Device complexity

If only part of the speaker device structure is bonded with glue, then the manufacturing complexity is reduced, but the overall structural strength deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing complexityVSAvoidoverall structural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary positioning features (such as positioning protrusions and recesses) that are pre-formed on the speaker components. These features ensure correct alignment before bonding, allowing for simplified adhesive application processes while achieving strong overall structural bonding. The preliminary positioning action prevents misalignment and ensures optimal bonding strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
