Vibration Motor Cantilever Elastic Connection

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vibration motors suffer from redundant vibrations due to assembly tolerances and structural defects, leading to noise and instability in vibration effects.

Innovation Solution

The vibration motor incorporates a cantilever connected to the driving unit, which is elastically connected to the frame, allowing it to generate reverse vibrations and reduce redundant vibrations without affecting linear vibrations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the vibration unit is suspended by a suspension member, then the vibration unit can vibrate and provide vibration sensations, but assembly tolerances and structural defects cause the vibration unit to deflect in non-linear directions, creating redundant vibrations and noise

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The cantilever acts as an intermediary component between the driving unit and the frame. It provides an elastic connection that allows the driving unit to generate counter-vibrations to compensate for redundant vibrations caused by assembly tolerances and structural defects, thereby improving vibration stability without affecting the vibration function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The cantilever enables the driving unit to generate preliminary counter-vibrations that oppose and cancel out the redundant vibrations caused by assembly tolerances and structural defects before they propagate, thus preventing noise and instability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

2Device complexity

If the driving unit is rigidly connected to the frame, then the structure is simple and stable, but the driving unit cannot generate reverse vibrations to eliminate redundant vibrations

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection between the driving unit and the frame is changed from rigid to elastic through the cantilever. This dynamic connection allows the driving unit to move slightly and generate reverse vibrations to counteract redundant vibrations, while maintaining overall structural stability with minimal added complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
