Vehicle Lamp Vibration Module for Audio Output
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle lamps with watertight structures cannot accommodate speakers due to moisture prevention, limiting their ability to output sound.
Innovation Solution
A lamp design incorporating a vibration part with a first and second module, each containing a magnet and a coil member, allowing for sound output through electromagnetic vibration of the lamp housing or lens part.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a watertight structure is adopted to prevent moisture accumulation, then reliability is improved, but the ability to mount a speaker is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp housing is divided into a waterproof main body and a separate vibration module. The vibration module containing the speaker is positioned in a region where it does not compromise the waterproof integrity of the main lamp housing, allowing the lamp to maintain both moisture prevention and speaker mounting capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
A vibration module serves as an intermediary component that enables sound output functionality without requiring direct integration of the speaker into the waterproof housing. This module can be positioned externally or in a non-critical area, mediating between the waterproof requirement and the need for audio output
2Adaptability or versatility
If a speaker is mounted in the lamp, then communication capability is improved, but the watertight structure is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The communication function is segmented into a separate vibration module that does not penetrate the waterproof housing. This allows the main lamp body to remain sealed while the vibration module provides audio output capability in a location that does not compromise the watertight structure
Solution Approach 2:
The vibration module serves multiple functions including sound output and potential vibration feedback, providing universal communication capability without requiring modifications to the waterproof housing structure. This multi-functional module can be positioned externally to maintain housing integrity
