A battery case design incorporating a heat absorbing member between the heat management component and protective member to absorb heat at a threshold temperature, reducing overall heat transfer to the protective member and maintaining uniform temperature.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional box body structure is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the sealing performance is insufficient and external forces cause deformation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing performanceVSAvoidbox body structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The box body is divided into multiple ribs (first ribs and second ribs) that segment the cover and base structures. These ribs create multiple sealing zones and reinforce the structure against deformation, transforming a single complex sealing problem into multiple manageable sealing segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The box body employs a composite structure combining cover and base portions with integrated ribs formed from the same material. This composite design maintains structural integrity while achieving both sealing performance and mechanical strength without requiring additional materials or assembly steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If the box body structure is reinforced to prevent deformation, then mechanical strength improves, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to external forcesVSAvoidbox body structure
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement structure is segmented into multiple ribs distributed across the cover and base. Each rib acts as an independent reinforcement element that resists local deformation, allowing the structure to handle external forces without requiring a monolithic complex design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The ribs provide localized reinforcement at critical areas of the box body where external forces are most likely to cause deformation. This local quality approach strengthens the structure only where needed rather than uniformly throughout, maintaining simplicity elsewhere.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If the sealing structure is improved to prevent fluid infiltration, then sealing performance improves, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefluid infiltration preventionVSAvoidmolding process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing ribs are merged with the main box body structure, forming an integrated component. The cover and base portions with their respective ribs are molded as single pieces, eliminating the need for separate sealing components and complex assembly processes while maintaining effective sealing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present application discloses a case of a battery, a battery and an electrical device. The case includes: a heat management component configured for accommodating a fluid to adjust a temperature of battery cells; a protective member configured for protecting the heat management component; and a heat absorbing member arranged between the heat management component and the protective member, and configured for absorbing heat generated by the heat management component when a temperature of the heat management component reaches a threshold value. In the embodiments of the present application, the heat absorbing member is arranged between the heat management component and the protective member, such that the heat generated by the heat management component is first absorbed by the heat absorbing member and then transferred to the protective member, therefore the overall heat transferred to the protective member is reduced, the problem of abnormal noise caused by uneven temperature on the protective member is overcome.
