Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If batteries are cooled by an external heat dissipation member, then heat dissipation function is provided, but airflow convection increases stay time inside housing reducing heat dissipation effect
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is divided into multiple detachable modules (A housing, B housing, C housing, D housing, E housing), allowing the heat dissipation system to be segmented and optimized independently. Each module can be configured with appropriate heat dissipation members and airflow paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces directional airflow guidance by positioning heat dissipation members and airflow guides in specific spatial arrangements. Airflow is directed to move in one dimension through the battery array rather than convecting in multiple directions, reducing stay time and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
2Stability of the object's composition
If fixing members are set in the energy storage battery, then batteries are fixed and spaced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing members serve multiple functions: they fix batteries in position, provide spacing between batteries, guide airflow direction, and support the modular housing structure. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and simplifies the overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing members are integrated with the housing structure and heat dissipation system rather than being separate components. This merging of functions reduces the number of parts and simplifies assembly while maintaining battery stability.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If batteries are used for a long time, then energy storage function is maintained, but batteries are prone to bulge causing safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The alarm system is configured to detect battery bulging at early stages before safety hazards occur. By implementing preliminary detection and warning mechanisms, the system can alert users to potential issues before they become critical safety problems.
Solution Approach 2:
The alarm system provides continuous feedback on battery condition through bulge detection. This feedback mechanism allows real-time monitoring of battery health, enabling timely intervention to maintain safety reliability throughout the battery's service life.
