Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional secondary battery manufacturing carriers suffer from assembly tolerances and require precise track interval settings, leading to inefficiencies in flatness maintenance and increased assembly time.
Innovation Solution
A secondary battery manufacturing process carrier with an integrated carrier base, featuring carrier rollers and rolling members that move along tracks, eliminating the need for precise interval settings and allowing for easy flatness adjustment using bolts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a conventional carrier structure is used, then the device complexity is low, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates due to cumulative positioning errors
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier is divided into multiple independent carriers, each with its own positioning track structure. This segmentation allows each carrier to be positioned independently without being affected by cumulative errors from other carriers, thereby improving positioning precision while keeping each individual carrier structure relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning track structure extends in the width direction (lateral dimension) of the processing apparatus. By adding this lateral dimension to the positioning mechanism, the system achieves higher positioning precision through multi-dimensional coordinate definition rather than relying solely on longitudinal positioning, which would accumulate errors.
2Productivity
If multiple batteries are transported simultaneously, then the productivity is improved, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates due to positioning errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses multiple independent carriers instead of a single carrier for multiple batteries. Each carrier independently transports one battery with its own positioning track, enabling simultaneous transport (improving productivity) while maintaining individual positioning accuracy (preserving manufacturing precision) without cumulative errors.
3Ease of manufacture
If the carrier structure is simplified, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to positioning errors
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning system is segmented into multiple independent carriers with individual positioning track structures. This allows the use of simpler, more reliable positioning mechanisms for each carrier rather than attempting to build a single complex high-precision system, improving both ease of manufacture and positioning reliability.
