Battery Bottom Plastic Structure for Pressure-Buffered Molding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing plastic components for batteries face challenges with slow injection molding efficiency and potential damage from excessive hydraulic pressure, particularly in larger sizes, and the connection pieces contribute to increased thickness and material requirements.
Innovation Solution
A plastic component design with a buffer recess and connection piece recess, offset to reduce thickness and material use, incorporating flow guide holes and a thinned structure to manage pressure and facilitate efficient molding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a separate bottom cover is used for the housing, then the housing can be assembled with multiple components, but the number of parts increases and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the bottom cover and battery into a single integrated component. The battery serves dual functions as both the power source and the bottom cover of the housing, eliminating the need for a separate bottom cover part and reducing overall assembly complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides electrical power to the electronic component and simultaneously serves as the bottom cover structure of the housing. This multi-functionality reduces the total number of components needed in the device.
2Reliability
If adhesive is used to attach the electronic component to the bottom cover, then the component can be secured, but residual adhesive may remain and contaminate the electronic component
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a foam member as an intermediary element between the electronic component and the integrated bottom cover-battery. The foam member provides the necessary adhesive bonding function while acting as a protective barrier that prevents direct contact between adhesive and the electronic component, thus avoiding contamination.
Solution Approach 2:
The foam member is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables adhesive bonding, and protects the electronic component from adhesive contamination. The foam member essentially serves itself to solve multiple problems simultaneously.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the battery is made larger to increase capacity, then more power is available, but the overall device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The battery is designed to serve dual purposes: it provides electrical power and simultaneously functions as the bottom cover structure of the housing. By eliminating the need for a separate bottom cover, the overall device volume is reduced while maintaining the required battery capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the battery and bottom cover into a single integrated component, eliminating redundant structural elements. This merging allows the device to maintain adequate battery capacity while minimizing the overall volume by removing the separate bottom cover that would otherwise be required.
