Solution Overview

Problem

The excessive vibration of the shell in loudspeakers due to the reverse acting force from the magnetic circuit structure affects sound quality and reduces the reliability and service life of the device.

Innovation Solution

A loudspeaker design that suspends the yoke using an elastic material connected through an inner support body with a first and second connection portion, featuring a planar and ramp structure, to minimize direct transmission of the reverse acting force to the shell, enhancing connection reliability and damping vibration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the yoke is suspended using an elastic material connected to the shell, then the reverse acting force is avoided from being directly transmitted to the shell, improving vibration damping, but the rigidity of the elastic material is poor, reducing the strength of connection between the yoke and the elastic material

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration transmission to shellVSAvoidconnection strength between yoke and elastic material
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

An inner support body is introduced as an intermediary component between the yoke and the elastic material. The inner support body includes a first connection portion connected to the yoke and a second connection portion connected to the elastic material, creating a multi-stage transmission path that protects the elastic material from direct mechanical stress while maintaining vibration isolation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection system is segmented into distinct functional components: the yoke, the inner support body with its connection portions, and the elastic material. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally - the inner support body provides structural strength while the elastic material provides vibration damping

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the elastic material is used to suspend the yoke, then vibration damping is improved, but the reliability of connection between the yoke and the elastic material is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration dampingVSAvoidconnection reliability between yoke and elastic material
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The inner support body serves as a protective intermediary that shields the elastic material from direct mechanical loads. By routing the connection through the inner support body's rigid structure, the elastic material is protected from stress concentration and failure, thereby improving connection reliability while maintaining vibration isolation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The inner support body provides beforehand cushioning by creating a rigid transmission path that prevents excessive forces from reaching the elastic material. This protective structure is built-in from the beginning, preventing potential connection failures before they can occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
