Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional speakers, such as flat panel speakers, primarily transmit tone quality to medium- and high-frequency sounds, with limited low-frequency transmission, resulting in poor sound performance and high manufacturing costs when attempting to improve low-frequency effects.

Innovation Solution

The speaker design incorporates a second ring-shaped body between the washer and the first ring-shaped body, connected to the groove's wall surface, enhancing low-frequency effects and peak power with reduced distortion, allowing for improved sound transmission across frequencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If conventional speaker structures are used, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but low-frequency transmission capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidlow-frequency transmission capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The speaker structure is divided into multiple functional segments: the groove structure for low-frequency resonance, the tube for magnetic field generation, the first ring-shaped body for structural support, and the second ring-shaped body for enhanced low-frequency transmission. Each segment performs a specific function, allowing the system to achieve improved low-frequency capability without requiring a complete redesign of the entire speaker structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces a vertical dimension by creating a groove that extends downward from the base surface, and places the magnet at the bottom of this groove. This three-dimensional arrangement allows the magnetic field to interact with air volumes in the vertical dimension, enhancing low-frequency resonance and transmission without increasing the horizontal footprint or requiring expensive external acoustic enclosures.

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

2Reliability

If outer structure is improved to enhance low-frequency effect, then low-frequency transmission capability is improved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelow-frequency transmission capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The groove structure serves multiple functions: it provides mechanical support for the magnet, creates a resonance chamber for low-frequency enhancement, and guides the magnetic field interaction. The first and second ring-shaped bodies simultaneously provide structural support and enhance acoustic transmission. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate, expensive acoustic enclosure components.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The speaker structure uses its own components (groove, magnet, ring-shaped bodies) to generate and enhance low-frequency sounds internally, without requiring external acoustic enclosures or additional passive radiators. The groove and ring-shaped bodies work together to create resonance and enhance low-frequency transmission using the existing magnetic field generation mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If conventional speaker structures are used, then device complexity is reduced, but sound quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural complexityVSAvoidsound quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention enhances sound quality by optimizing specific local regions: the groove concentration at the bottom portion, the magnet placement in the groove, the first ring-shaped body positioned between the tube and washer, and the second ring-shaped body connected to the groove wall. Each local region is designed with specific properties to enhance its functional contribution to overall sound quality without requiring complex changes throughout the entire structure.

AI summary

A speaker includes a base having a groove, a tube received in the groove, a magnet disposed in the tube, a first ring-shaped body and a washer mounted, from top to bottom, on an outer side of the tube sequentially, and a second ring-shaped body connected to an edge of the first ring-shaped body and installed around a wall surface of a rim of the groove. The second ring-shaped body has an inner ring-shaped plate, an outer ring-shaped plate, and a connection segment connected between the inner ring-shaped plate and the outer ring-shaped plate. Therefore, a low-frequency effect thus generated is greatly improved.
