Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If glue filling and sealing processes are used to connect battery and capacitor, then electrical connection is achieved, but production time increases and quality risks arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the glue filling and sealing processes from the battery assembly line. By using a mechanical connection structure with conductive components that directly connect the battery and capacitor housings, the patent removes the time-consuming and quality-risk-prone adhesive processes while maintaining electrical connectivity and structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the chemical bonding mechanism (glue filling) with a mechanical connection system. The connection structure includes conductive elements and mechanical fastening components that physically connect the battery and capacitor housings, eliminating the need for adhesive materials and curing time while ensuring reliable electrical and mechanical connection.
2Reliability
If improper gluing and soldering processes are used, then electrical connection is achieved, but quality risks and safety problems increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the soldering process entirely from the manufacturing workflow by designing a mechanical connection system with integrated conductive components. This eliminates the quality risks and safety problems associated with improper soldering while maintaining reliable electrical connection between the battery and capacitor.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the thermal and chemical processes of soldering with a mechanical connection approach. The connection structure uses conductive metal elements and mechanical fastening that require no heat application or chemical flux, thereby eliminating soldering-related quality risks and safety hazards while simplifying the manufacturing process.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional battery assembly with glue filling is used, then battery is manufactured, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the adhesive materials and associated processing steps from the manufacturing process. By using a mechanical connection structure with conductive components, the patent removes the cost of adhesive materials, curing equipment, and quality inspection for adhesive bonds, thereby reducing overall production costs while maintaining manufacturing capability.
4Reliability
If complex assembly processes with multiple steps are used, then battery structure is assembled, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate assembly steps into a single integrated operation. The connection structure combines mechanical fastening and electrical connection functions into one component system, allowing simultaneous achievement of structural assembly and electrical connectivity in a single manufacturing step, thereby eliminating sequential process steps and improving productivity.
