Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vibration motors face challenges in ensuring that the coil lead is securely attached to the coil, leading to potential electrical contact with the casing under pressure or impact, which can cause damage and adverse effects.

Innovation Solution

A vibration motor design that includes a circuit board with a bonding pad and a coil with a lead wire, where an avoiding portion with back glue isolates the lead wire from the casing, preventing electrical contact and damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the coil lead is welded and fixed to the circuit board without additional isolation measures, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the lead wire may contact the casing under pressure or impact causing electrical contact and damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical isolation reliabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an avoiding portion (isolation structure) between the lead wire and the casing that prevents direct contact. This intermediary structure acts as a mediator that physically separates the electrical conductor from the metal casing, eliminating the risk of electrical contact while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The circuit board is divided into functional areas including a bonding pad area and an avoiding portion. This segmentation separates the electrical connection zone from the isolation zone, allowing the lead wire to be securely welded to the bonding pad while the avoiding portion provides physical separation from the casing edges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the coil lead is tightly attached to the coil, then the electrical connection is secure, but the lead wire remains vulnerable to contact with the casing under pressure or impact

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidimpact damage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The avoiding portion serves as an intermediary barrier between the secured lead wire and the casing. Even when the lead wire is tightly attached to ensure electrical reliability, the avoiding portion maintains physical separation that prevents impact forces from causing the lead wire to contact the casing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The avoiding portion is designed in advance to anticipate and prevent potential contact between the lead wire and casing under pressure or impact. This proactive isolation structure cushions against harmful effects before they can occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Volume of moving object

If the circuit board is positioned close to the casing to save space, then the device compactness is improved, but the lead wire is more likely to contact the casing under pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice volumeVSAvoidelectrical isolation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board layout is segmented into different functional zones: the bonding pad area for electrical connection and the avoiding portion for isolation. This segmentation allows the circuit board to be positioned close to the casing for compactness while the avoiding portion maintains the necessary clearance to prevent lead wire contact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The avoiding portion provides localized isolation quality at the critical area where the lead wire exits the circuit board. This local quality enhancement ensures electrical isolation reliability specifically where needed, while the rest of the device can maintain compact dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The vibration motor includes a casing, a stator, a vibrator, and an elastic connector suspended inside the casing. The stator includes a circuit board fixed to the casing and a coil fixedly connected to the circuit board. The circuit board includes a bonding pad, and the coil includes a coil body and a lead wire. The circuit board is provided with an avoiding portion that avoids a junction between the lead wire and the coil body, and the avoiding portion is provided with back glue that isolates the lead wire from the casing. The vibration motor of the present application isolates the lead wire of the coil and the casing by adding back glue at the avoiding portion, which prevents the lead wire of the coil from being in electrical contact with the casing caused by the coil being damaged under pressure or impact, thereby preventing adverse effects.
