Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices with semi-open speakers occupy a large space due to their rear cavity, which is not efficiently utilized, and the fast-flowing gas during speaker operation can cause vibrations affecting other components, degrading user experience.

Innovation Solution

The speaker, speaker bracket, and main board bracket jointly create a closed rear cavity, reducing the need for additional components and ensuring good sealing to prevent gas escape, thereby minimizing space occupation and avoiding component vibrations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a semi-open speaker is used to lower costs, then the cost is reduced, but the speaker occupies a relatively large space due to its rear cavity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecostVSAvoidspeaker space occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the speaker rear cavity formation into the existing bracket structure. The speaker bracket and main board bracket jointly create the closed rear cavity with the speaker, eliminating the need for separate rear cavity components. This integration reduces the overall space occupied by the speaker assembly while maintaining the semi-open speaker's cost-effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If additional components are added to create speaker rear cavity, then the sealing is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing performanceVSAvoidnumber of additional components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The speaker bracket serves multiple functions: it supports the speaker, forms part of the closed rear cavity structure, and contributes to the sealing system. The main board bracket also serves dual purposes by providing structural support and participating in rear cavity formation. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated components while maintaining reliable sealing.

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

3Ease of manufacture

If the speaker rear cavity is not properly sealed, then the manufacturing is easier, but fast-flowing gas escapes and causes vibrations affecting other components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidgas-induced vibrations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating the sealing function into the bracket structures themselves, the patent creates a sealed rear cavity without requiring separate sealing components. The speaker bracket and main board bracket form the sealed enclosure that contains fast-flowing gas, preventing it from escaping and causing vibrations to other components while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
