Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single speaker assembly is used, then the device structure is simple, but vibration is generated causing noise and affecting sound performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeaker module structureVSAvoidvibration and noise
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple speaker assemblies (first, second, third, and fourth speaker assemblies) into a single integrated speaker module. These assemblies are arranged symmetrically around a central axis, with their vibration directions coordinated to counterbalance each other, thereby reducing overall vibration and noise while maintaining relatively simple device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs speaker assemblies arranged in a counterbalancing configuration where the vibration forces generated by each assembly oppose each other. The first and second speaker assemblies are positioned to counterbalance along one axis, while the third and fourth speaker assemblies counterbalance along another axis, effectively canceling out harmful vibrations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If multiple speaker assemblies are arranged to reduce vibration, then vibration is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration displacementVSAvoidspeaker assembly configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

While the overall arrangement exhibits symmetry for balance, the patent employs asymmetric positioning strategies within constraints. The speaker assemblies are arranged at specific angles and positions around the central axis that optimize vibration cancellation while considering manufacturing and spatial constraints, achieving a balance between symmetry for balance and asymmetry for optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

Each speaker assembly in the multi-assembly configuration serves dual functions: it contributes to the overall sound output and simultaneously acts as a counterbalancing element to reduce vibration. This multi-functionality allows the system to achieve vibration reduction without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If speaker assemblies are arranged along perpendicular axes, then vibration balance is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration balanceVSAvoidassembly configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the speaker module into distinct functional segments: speaker assemblies arranged along a first axis and speaker assemblies arranged along a second axis perpendicular to the first. This segmentation allows for modular manufacturing and assembly, where each axis configuration can be produced and tested independently before final integration, reducing overall manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-axis linear arrangement to a multi-dimensional spatial configuration with assemblies arranged along perpendicular axes. This dimensional expansion enables vibration balance in multiple directions simultaneously, achieving superior vibration stability while maintaining manageable manufacturing complexity through systematic spatial organization.

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