Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional speakers in portable devices face issues with non-uniform magnet field distribution and poor BL symmetry due to height limitations, leading to reduced performance and harmonic distortion.

Innovation Solution

The speaker design incorporates a magnet circuit system with a main magnet and sub magnets, featuring a rounded rectangle shape with a bending portion and recessed portion, and a vibration system with a diaphragm and voice coil, where the magnet flux is enhanced by a uniform magnet field distribution, improving magnet induction efficiency and reducing distortion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If the main magnet is raised to increase height, then magnet induction efficiency improves, but the peripheral sub magnet cannot increase height synchronously due to total height limitation, leading to non-uniform magnet field distribution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnet induction efficiencyVSAvoidmagnet field uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The pole plate is designed with a bending portion that curves upward, matching the rounded rectangle shape of the main magnet. This curvature allows the pole plate to follow the elevated contour of the main magnet, maintaining uniform magnet field distribution across the entire magnet circuit system including both the main magnet and peripheral sub magnets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

The pole plate features different geometries in different regions: a bending portion that curves upward to match the main magnet's elevated shape, and a flat portion that remains level for the peripheral sub magnets. This local differentiation allows each region to optimize its interaction with the corresponding magnet type, achieving both high magnet induction efficiency and uniform field distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If the pole plate is designed as a flat plate, then manufacturing is simple, but the BL symmetry is poor due to height limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepole plate manufacturing simplicityVSAvoidBL symmetry
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The pole plate incorporates a bending portion with a rounded rectangle shape that corresponds to the main magnet's geometry. This curved design improves BL symmetry by ensuring uniform magnetic flux distribution, while the overall structure remains manufacturable using standard bending and forming processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

The pole plate is divided into distinct functional regions: a bending portion for the main magnet area and a flat portion for the peripheral sub magnet area. This segmentation allows each region to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through modular construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Length of stationary object

If the total height of the speaker is limited, then the device remains compact and portable, but the magnet field distribution becomes non-uniform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeaker heightVSAvoidmagnet field uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of increasing height in the vertical dimension, the pole plate utilizes horizontal dimensionality with its bending portion that extends outward to match the main magnet's rounded rectangle shape. This dimensional approach maintains compact overall height while achieving uniform magnet field distribution through lateral geometry optimization.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The pole plate features localized geometric variations where the bending portion adapts to the main magnet's shape in specific regions, while other regions remain flat. This local quality differentiation enables uniform magnet field distribution throughout the compact speaker structure without requiring increased overall height.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
