Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If only speaker is used for warning, then device structure is simple, but warning capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a speaker and a vibration component into a single feedback module, allowing the wearable device to provide both auditory and tactile warnings simultaneously. This merging of functions increases warning capability while managing device complexity through integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The feedback module is designed to perform multiple functions: the speaker provides auditory warnings while the vibration component provides tactile warnings. This multi-functionality enhances the adaptability and versatility of the warning system without requiring separate independent components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If vibration component is added to enhance warning capability, then warning capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vibration component is integrated with the speaker within the same feedback module, sharing common structural elements and mounting mechanisms. This merging approach adds tactile warning capability while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity through shared components and compact arrangement.
3Adaptability or versatility
If moveable part is connected to vibration component for tactile feedback, then tactile warning is achieved, but stability of connection may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The moveable part is designed to be dynamically connected to the vibration component, allowing controlled movement and vibration transmission while maintaining stable connection during non-operational states. The connection enables tactile feedback during vibration while preserving structural stability through appropriate mechanical design.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a wearable device, including: a casing having an accommodating cavity and an opening communicating with the accommodating cavity, a feedback module arranged in the accommodating cavity, and a moveable part. One end of the moveable part is connected to the feedback module, and an other end protrudes from a surface of the casing via the opening. The feedback module includes a speaker and a vibration component, the moveable part is connected to the vibration component and vibrates with the vibration component. When a wearer wears the wearable device, the end of the moveable part protruding from the casing contacts with the wearer's skin. When the moveable part vibrates, the wearer can be warned. The feedback module provided by the present disclosure includes a speaker and a vibration component, which can warn the wearer by auditory and tactile senses, thereby improving user experience of the wearer.
