Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vibration presentation apparatuses face interference and noise issues due to multiple vibration devices being placed on the same seat surface, leading to a deterioration in user experience.
Innovation Solution
A vibration presentation apparatus with a connection plate featuring spaced cells, each containing a vibration device, a first elastic body, and a support member that dampens vibrations to prevent interference and noise, allowing for independent control of each cell's vibration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple vibration devices are disposed on the same seat surface, then the quantity of vibration presentation is improved, but vibration interference and noise occur resulting in deteriorated user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the seat surface into multiple independent cells, with each cell containing a vibration device isolated from others. This segmentation prevents vibration interference between adjacent devices while maintaining multiple vibration sources for enhanced user experience.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple vibration devices are disposed on the same seat surface, then the variety of vibration presentation is improved, but noise is caused by vibration interference resulting in deteriorated user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the seat into multiple independent cells, each capable of generating different vibration patterns. This allows diverse vibration presentations while isolating noise sources through the cell structure and elastic body damping mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces elastic bodies as intermediary elements between the vibration devices and the seat structure. These elastic bodies absorb and dampen vibration noise while transmitting the desired vibration sensations to the user, acting as a mediator that separates useful vibration from harmful noise.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If vibration devices are isolated in spaced cells, then vibration interference and noise are reduced improving user experience, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent organizes the system into modular cell units that can be independently manufactured and assembled. Each cell contains a vibration device, elastic body, and support structure, creating a standardized module that simplifies overall system integration despite the increased number of components.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic bodies serve multiple functions: they support the vibration devices, provide mechanical isolation to reduce noise transmission, and enable the spaced cell configuration. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated noise reduction components.
