Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a traditional exciter with simple structure is used, then manufacturing is easier and development is simpler, but sensitivity is low and listening experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidsensitivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic assembly is divided into four separate magnets (first, second, third, and fourth magnets) arranged in a specific configuration. This segmentation allows each magnet to be independently positioned and magnetized, enabling precise control of the magnetic field distribution to improve sensitivity while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each magnet in the assembly has a specific magnetization direction tailored to its position - the first and second magnets have magnetization directions along their arrangement directions, while the third and fourth magnets have opposite magnetization directions. This local quality optimization creates an enhanced magnetic field interaction with the coil assembly, improving sensitivity without complicating the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If the resonant frequency of the exciter is matched with the electronic product, then the structure is simpler, but sensitivity is low and listening experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables dynamic adjustment of resonant frequency by modifying the magnetic field strength through the coil assembly's current. The four-magnet configuration allows the system to achieve optimal resonance at different frequencies by adjusting the electrical input to the coil, providing dynamic adaptability while keeping the mechanical structure simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The resonant frequency parameter can be changed by adjusting the electrical characteristics of the coil assembly or the magnetic properties of the magnets. This allows the system to adapt to different electronic products without changing the physical structure, thereby improving sensitivity while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Force

If magnets are positioned closer to the coil assembly, then magnetic interaction is stronger, but space utilization is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The four magnets are positioned asymmetrically relative to the coil assembly, with the first and second magnets on one side and the third and fourth magnets on the other side. This asymmetric arrangement creates an optimized magnetic field distribution that maximizes interaction force while maintaining a compact overall structure, effectively balancing force and space utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic assembly extends in multiple dimensions around the coil assembly rather than simply approaching it from one direction. The four magnets are distributed in a spatial configuration that utilizes three-dimensional space efficiently, achieving strong magnetic interaction without increasing the overall footprint or height of the device.

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