Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If regular-shaped side magnets are used in the magnetic circuit system, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the occupied space is large which reduces the vibration space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidvibration space
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The side magnetic circuit is divided into multiple side magnetic units (first side magnetic units and second side magnetic units) that are symmetrically spaced. Each unit includes magnets, pole cores, and yokes arranged in a segmented configuration, allowing the magnetic circuit to provide sufficient magnetic force while reducing the overall space occupation compared to a single large regular-shaped magnet.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If regular-shaped side magnets are used in the magnetic circuit system, then the structure is simple, but the vibration space is insufficient which hinders optimal performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural complexityVSAvoidperformance optimization
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The side magnetic units are arranged in a spatial configuration that utilizes three-dimensional space more efficiently. The magnets, pole cores, and yokes are positioned to create magnetic gaps that accommodate the vibration system, transforming the traditional two-dimensional planar arrangement into a three-dimensional optimized layout that maximizes vibration space while maintaining structural integrity.

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

3Volume of moving object

If side magnets are spaced apart to form magnetic gap, then the vibration space is increased, but the magnetic force may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration spaceVSAvoidmagnetic force
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSForce

Solution Approach 1:

The side magnetic units are combined with the center magnetic circuit to form an integrated magnetic system. The yokes of the side magnetic units connect to the pole cores, which in turn connect to the center magnetic circuit, creating a unified magnetic flux path that maintains strong magnetic force across the magnetic gaps while providing sufficient space for vibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic circuit system uses composite magnetic components including magnets (permanent magnets or electromagnetic magnets), pole cores (ferromagnetic materials), and yokes (magnetic conducting materials). This composite structure optimizes both the magnetic force generation and the spatial arrangement, allowing the system to provide strong magnetic fields across the gaps needed for vibration space.

AI summary

The present application provides a speaker. The magnetic circuit system of the speaker includes a lower clamping plate fixed to a base frame, a center magnetic circuit fixed to the lower clamping plate, and a side magnetic circuit provided around the center magnetic circuit to form a magnetic gap. The side magnetic circuit includes two symmetrically spaced first side magnetic units; each first side magnetic unit includes a first side magnet, a first side pole core, and a second side magnet. The first side magnet and/or the second side magnet include a first main body and a first projection, and a first grooving is formed by the first body portion and the first projection, so that an occupied space for the side magnets can be reduced, which allows for maximizing the volume of the magnet while fully utilizing the vibration space to enhance magnetic force.
