Solution Overview

Problem

The existing manufacturing process for micro moving coil speakers is inefficient due to the repeated application of adhesive and solidification, leading to adhesive overflow, which can cause structural failures and affect sound quality.

Innovation Solution

A speaker vibration assembly with a diaphragm featuring through holes for adhering, allowing the voice coil and reinforcement part to be securely attached with a single application of adhesive, preventing overflow and enhancing structural stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If adhesive is applied twice (once for reinforcement part, once for voice coil), then adhesion reliability is improved, but manufacturing efficiency deteriorates and adhesive overflow risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the two separate adhesive application operations into a single operation by applying adhesive to the diaphragm surface before stacking both the reinforcement part and voice coil. This combining of operations maintains adhesion reliability while eliminating the inefficiency of repeated application and solidification cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive is applied in advance to the diaphragm surface before the stacking operation. This preliminary action allows the adhesive to be ready for both components simultaneously, enabling a single application to secure both the reinforcement part and voice coil, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency without compromising bond strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Strength

If adhesive is applied in volume to ensure adequate bonding, then adhesion strength is improved, but adhesive overflow increases causing structural failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion strengthVSAvoidadhesive overflow
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies adhesive locally to specific regions of the diaphragm surface where bonding is required, rather than applying it uniformly across the entire surface. This localized application ensures adequate adhesion strength at the bonding interfaces while preventing overflow into areas where adhesive is harmful, such as the corrugated rim and voice coil sides.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potential harm of adhesive overflow into a benefit by using the overflowed adhesive as additional bonding material that fills gaps and enhances adhesion between the stacked components. The adhesive that would otherwise be waste is utilized to improve the bonding reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Reliability

If adhesive is applied to entire surface for complete coverage, then adhesion coverage is improved, but manufacturing complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion coverageVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the adhesive application process into discrete, localized regions rather than requiring complete surface coverage. Adhesive is applied only to specific areas where bonding is needed, which simplifies the manufacturing process while ensuring adequate adhesion coverage at the critical bonding interfaces between the diaphragm, reinforcement part, and voice coil.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
