Thin Speaker Driver Structure Reducing Thickness and Vibration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional speaker driver structures are hindered by a thick thickness and poor sensitivity due to the weight of plastic fixers, leading to voice distortion.
Innovation Solution
A driver structure comprising a voice coil, a suspension mechanism with a fixer, diaphragm, and spider, along with at least two wires and a holder with a terminal set, where the magnetic circuit element is integrated to reduce thickness and enhance sensitivity, using materials like aluminum for the diaphragm and metal or non-metallic materials for other components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a plastic fixer is used in the driver structure, then the structure is easier to manufacture, but the weight of the suspension system increases causing thick thickness and poor sensitivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the plastic fixer from the driver structure entirely, replacing it with a metal fixer that is integrated into the suspension system. This extraction of the problematic plastic component directly reduces the weight of the moving object while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through the metal alternative.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material parameter of the fixer from plastic to metal, which fundamentally alters the weight characteristic. This material substitution reduces the weight of the suspension system while preserving the structural and manufacturing advantages of the fixer component.
2Ease of manufacture
If a plastic fixer is used in the driver structure, then the structure is easier to manufacture, but the thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the plastic fixer that was causing excessive thickness and replaces it with a streamlined metal fixer design. This removal and replacement directly reduces the thickness of the moving object while maintaining ease of manufacture through the new metal construction approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material and dimensional parameters of the fixer from plastic to metal, which enables a more compact design. This parameter change reduces the thickness of the driver structure while preserving manufacturing simplicity through the metal material properties.
3Ease of manufacture
If a plastic fixer is used in the driver structure, then the structure is easier to manufacture, but the sensitivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the plastic fixer that was degrading sensitivity and replaces it with a metal fixer. This extraction and replacement directly improves the sensitivity of the driver structure while maintaining ease of manufacture through the new metal construction method.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material parameter of the fixer from plastic to metal, which improves the mechanical properties and reduces energy loss. This material substitution enhances the sensitivity of the driver structure while preserving manufacturing simplicity.
4Ease of manufacture
If a plastic fixer is used in the driver structure, then the structure is easier to manufacture, but voice distortion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the plastic fixer that was generating voice distortion and replaces it with a metal fixer. This removal and replacement eliminates the harmful voice distortion effect while maintaining ease of manufacture through the new metal construction approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material parameter of the fixer from plastic to metal, which eliminates the voice distortion problem. This material substitution removes the harmful factor while preserving manufacturing simplicity through the metal material properties.
