Solution Overview

Problem

Existing power battery packs face stability issues during mounting and transferring, particularly in high-frequency and high-intensity applications like electric vehicles, due to inadequate structural strength and the risk of damage from shaking and welding-related complications.

Innovation Solution

A fixing structure comprising a first connecting body, a second connecting body, and a transition body, integrally formed with the battery box, providing enhanced stability and resistance through multiple connecting holes and a through hole configuration, allowing for secure mounting and reduced risk of damage during high-intensity movements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional mounting structures are used for battery packs, then the device complexity is reduced, but the stability and pulling-dragging resistance during high-frequency and high-intensity movement operations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the first connecting body, transition body, and second connecting body into an integral fixing structure that is directly formed on the battery box. This integration eliminates the need for separate mounting components while providing multiple connecting holes for stable attachment, thereby improving stability without increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Strength

If welding is used for mounting the battery pack, then the strength of the connection is improved, but the manufacturing precision and reliability deteriorate due to welding-related complications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidmounting precision
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces welding with a mechanical connection system using multiple connecting holes that accommodate bolts or other fasteners. This mechanical substitution eliminates welding-related complications such as heat distortion and structural weakening, thereby improving manufacturing precision and reliability while maintaining connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If a simple mounting structure is used, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability during high-intensity movements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the fixing structure into multiple functional parts: a first connecting body for primary attachment, a transition body for structural reinforcement, and a second connecting body for additional mounting points. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function, improving overall mounting reliability while maintaining ease of manufacture through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
