Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electroacoustic transducing devices face issues with audio performance and bonding stability due to unsupported lead wires from the voice coil, which are not adequately subjected to a wire laying process, leading to vibration system interference and reduced reliability of the bonding between the voice coil and diaphragm.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a wire laying process where lead wires drawn out from the voice coil are bent in air to form slack portions, guided through openings in the frame, allowing for proper connection to solder pad portions, enhancing the stability of the bonding and reducing vibration system interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the lead wire is drawn out from the voice coil at a position close to the diaphragm, then the bonding between voice coil and diaphragm becomes unstable, but drawing it out at a remote position causes the lead wire to be unsupported and exert influence on the vibration system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding stabilityVSAvoidvibration system interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary structure (support member or guide structure) within the frame to support and guide the lead wire from the voice coil to the external terminal. This intermediary element prevents the lead wire from directly contacting or interfering with the vibration system while maintaining stable bonding at the voice coil-diaphragm interface. The support structure acts as a mediator that separates the electrical connection function from the mechanical vibration function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent routes the lead wire through a different spatial dimension or path within the frame structure, guiding it along a predetermined trajectory that avoids the vibration system's operational space. By utilizing the three-dimensional space within the frame more effectively, the lead wire is directed through openings or channels that prevent interference with the diaphragm and voice coil assembly while maintaining external accessibility.

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

2Stability of the object's composition

If the lead wire is simply laid without support to avoid tensile stress, then a large influence is exerted on the vibration system, but proper wire laying process is needed to maintain audio performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelead wire stabilityVSAvoidaudio performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs support members, guide structures, or tensioning elements as intermediaries to maintain the lead wire in a stable, controlled position throughout the wire laying process. These intermediaries prevent the lead wire from sagging, twisting, or contacting the vibration system, thereby maintaining both mechanical stability and audio performance without requiring the lead wire to be simply laid without support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the voice coil axis is inclined with respect to the vibration direction, then the voice coil easily contacts with internal components, but proper alignment is needed for compact design

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoiddevice size
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces alignment guides, positioning structures, or support members within the frame that act as intermediaries to maintain proper alignment between the voice coil axis and the vibration direction. These structures ensure that the voice coil remains correctly positioned during assembly and operation, preventing contact with internal components while maintaining a compact design without requiring complex alignment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
