Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vibration motors face issues with coil deformation and slow winding speed due to the hollow coil support, which is difficult to control and limits the efficiency of coil assembly.

Innovation Solution

A vibration motor design featuring a casing with an accommodating space, a vibrator assembly connected via elastic members, and a stator assembly that provides a driving force, with a coil nested outside an adhesive layer on a skeleton structure, allowing for improved winding speed and insulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a hollow coil support is used to accommodate the vibrator assembly, then the vibrator assembly can be housed, but the coil support is easy to deform during winding and the outline of the coil is difficult to control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccommodation space for vibrator assemblyVSAvoidcoil outline control
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The coil support is divided into two separate components: a skeleton that provides structural support and an adhesive layer that provides accommodation and fixation. This segmentation allows the skeleton to maintain rigidity for precise coil winding while the adhesive layer provides the necessary accommodation space and flexible fixation for the vibrator assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An adhesive layer is introduced as an intermediary between the skeleton and the coil/vibrator assembly. This adhesive layer serves as a mediator that provides both structural support and accommodation, allowing the coil to be wound precisely on the rigid skeleton while accommodating the vibrator assembly through the flexible adhesive material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If the coil is wound on the coil support, then the coil can be assembled, but the winding speed is slow due to the hollow structure and single-layer winding limitation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoil assembly processVSAvoidcoil winding speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The coil winding process transitions from single-layer to multi-layer winding by utilizing the adhesive layer as an additional dimensional space. The coil can be wound in multiple layers on the adhesive layer surface, significantly increasing the winding speed and productivity while maintaining ease of manufacture through the flat, accessible winding surface.

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