Multifunctional Battery Mounting Bracket for Compact Busbar Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery pack designs require separate brackets for mounting the LECU device, smoke detector, and busbar, complicating the mounting process, increasing space occupation, and raising production costs, while the complex wiring harness arrangement further complicates installation and affects component layout.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional mounting bracket that integrates the LECU device and busbar mounting, featuring a mounting plate with oppositely arranged surfaces for both components, an accommodating groove for the smoke detector, and a busbar mounting member, along with reinforcing plates and weight reduction holes, simplifying the mounting process and reducing space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate brackets are used for mounting LECU device, smoke detector, and busbar, then each component can be securely mounted, but the mounting process becomes complex and space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines three separate mounting brackets (LECU bracket, smoke detector bracket, busbar bracket) into a single integrated multifunctional mounting bracket. This unified structure features a mounting plate with multiple mounting surfaces and accommodating grooves that can simultaneously secure the LECU device, smoke detector, and busbar, thereby simplifying the mounting process while maintaining secure attachment of all components.
Solution Approach 2:
The multifunctional mounting bracket is designed with universal applicability to mount multiple different components (LECU device, smoke detector, busbar) using a single structure. The mounting plate includes various mounting surfaces, accommodating grooves, and fixing mechanisms that can adapt to different component types, eliminating the need for separate specialized brackets for each component.
2Reliability
If separate brackets are used for mounting LECU device, smoke detector, and busbar, then each component has dedicated mounting structure, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates three separate bracket structures into one multifunctional mounting bracket, reducing the total number of parts that need to be manufactured, processed, and assembled. This consolidation decreases material consumption, simplifies production workflows, and reduces overall manufacturing costs while maintaining the secure mounting capability for all components through its integrated design with multiple mounting surfaces and accommodating grooves.
3Reliability
If three separate brackets are mounted on battery case, then each component can be fixed, but space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates three separate bracket footprints into a single integrated multifunctional mounting bracket that attaches to the battery case at one location. The mounting plate provides multiple mounting surfaces and accommodating grooves that can secure the LECU device, smoke detector, and busbar in a compact arrangement, significantly reducing the space occupied on the battery case compared to three separate brackets.
4Reliability
If sampling wiring harness has large number and disorder arrangement, then all connections can be made, but installation becomes complex and component layout is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent addresses wiring harness management by utilizing the vertical and lateral dimensions of the multifunctional mounting bracket structure. The mounting plate and busbar mounting member provide multiple levels and surfaces for organizing and routing the wiring harness, transforming a disordered two-dimensional arrangement into a structured three-dimensional layout that improves accessibility and simplifies installation while maintaining all necessary connections.
