Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If multiple elastic connectors are used to enhance vibration intensity, then vibration intensity is improved, but assembling complexity increases and assembly efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple elastic arms into a single integrated elastic connector structure. The first and second elastic arms are formed as one piece that simultaneously connects both vibrating units to the shell, eliminating the need for separate connectors and reducing assembling complexity while maintaining vibration intensity
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated elastic connector serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both the first and second elastic connectors, provides suspension for both vibrating units, and maintains structural support. This multi-functionality reduces the number of components and simplifies the assembly process
2Force
If multiple elastic connectors are used to enhance vibration intensity, then vibration intensity is improved, but assembly efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple elastic connector functions into a single integrated component that can be assembled in one step. The first and second elastic arms are formed as one piece, allowing simultaneous installation of both connectors and their associated gaskets, thereby improving assembly efficiency while maintaining vibration intensity
3Volume of moving object
If the vibrating motor is miniaturized to fit electronic devices, then device size is reduced, but vibration intensity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested structure where the first vibrating unit is positioned inside the second vibrating unit. This nested arrangement maximizes the use of available space within the miniaturized motor housing, allowing both vibrating units to coexist in a compact configuration while maintaining adequate vibration intensity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the vertical dimension by arranging the first and second vibrating units at different heights within the shell. The first vibrating unit is suspended below the second vibrating unit, creating a three-dimensional layout that optimizes space utilization in the miniaturized motor while preserving vibration performance
