Solution Overview
Problem
Current loudspeaker current driving methods suffer from uncorrected resonance peaks and increased acoustic levels in high frequencies, which are not effectively addressed by existing solutions, particularly in current control systems where voltage control provides natural damping but requires specific adaptations.
Innovation Solution
A circuit with a device for filtering resonance peaks using a dead resistor associated with a parallel RLC impedance in the instrumentation ground circuit or feedback loop, allowing for electronic correction of resonance peaks without altering the current control mechanism, and incorporating virtual inductors for adaptive impedance adjustment to compensate for temperature variations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If current control is used to drive the loudspeaker, then the advantages of current control are maintained, but resonance peaks are not corrected and high-frequency acoustic levels increase
Solution Approach 1:
A filtering device is introduced as an intermediary element in the electrical circuit between the power supply and the loudspeaker. This device includes a resistor connected in series with a parallel RLC circuit (comprising inductor Lb, capacitor Cb, and resistor Rb), which acts as a mediator to selectively attenuate resonance frequencies while allowing the current control system to operate without modification
Solution Approach 2:
The filtering device changes the electrical parameters (impedance, resistance, inductance, capacitance) at specific frequency ranges to suppress resonance peaks. By adjusting the parameters of Lb, Cb, Rb, and the series resistor, the system modifies the electrical characteristics to counteract the mechanical resonance of the loudspeaker without affecting the overall current control mechanism
2Object-generated harmful factors
If voltage control is used, then resonance peaks are naturally damped, but specific adaptations are required that complicate the system
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using voltage control to damp resonance (which requires complex adaptations), the invention inverts the approach by using a passive filtering device in the power supply circuit that naturally suppresses resonance through its RLC configuration, achieving voltage-control-like damping benefits while maintaining simple current control architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The filtering device automatically suppresses resonance peaks through its inherent RLC circuit characteristics without requiring active control, feedback mechanisms, or complex adaptations. The parallel RLC circuit self-adjusts to attenuate resonance frequencies based on its natural resonant properties, eliminating the need for additional control complexity
