Solution Overview

Problem

Energy storage system containers require adjustable insulation to maintain internal temperature stability and safety, as existing explosion panels lack insulation and are not adaptable to varying external temperatures, and protrude excessively from the container.

Innovation Solution

An explosion panel with a top disc that ruptures at high pressure, rib flanges, body flanges, and an adjustable insulation member supported by a lattice structure, allowing for customizable insulation thickness and minimal protrusion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If an insulation layer is added to the explosion panel, then insulation performance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat conduction from external airVSAvoidstructure of explosion panel
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The explosion panel is divided into multiple functional components: a top disc for explosion venting, a body with inner walls forming a cavity, and a separate insulation member. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while maintaining overall system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The insulation function is extracted as a separate insulation member that can be independently adjusted or removed. This allows the insulation layer to be added without permanently complicating the explosion panel structure, as it can be placed inside the cavity formed by the inner walls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the insulation layer thickness is increased, then insulation performance is improved, but the protrusion from the container increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat conductionVSAvoidprotrusion from container
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The insulation member is nested inside the cavity formed by the inner walls of the body, which themselves are nested within the overall explosion panel structure. This nested arrangement allows the insulation layer to be positioned without increasing the external dimensions or protrusion of the explosion panel from the container.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the insulation layer thickness is made adjustable, then adaptability to different external temperatures is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsulation performance adjustmentVSAvoidadjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The inner walls are designed with adjustable heights that can be dynamically changed to modify the cavity size. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the insulation member thickness to be varied according to different external temperature conditions without requiring complex insulation adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
