Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If complex wiring is used for signal detection components, then electrical parameters can be detected, but reliability deteriorates due to increased wiring complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the signal detection component with the battery casing to form an integrated structure. The detection loop is formed by the casing itself rather than separate wiring, eliminating complex external connections and improving reliability through reduced connection points.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery casing serves multiple functions: it provides structural protection and simultaneously acts as part of the signal detection circuit. The casing is both a mechanical component and an electrical conductor for the detection loop, reducing the need for dedicated wiring.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple battery units are arranged side by side to improve energy storage capacity, then energy storage capacity increases, but wiring complexity increases for collecting electrical parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The detection circuit is integrated into the casing structure itself, allowing multiple battery units to be monitored through a unified detection system embedded in the casing rather than requiring separate wiring for each unit.
3Reliability
If complex wiring is used for signal detection, then electrical parameters can be collected, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The signal detection component is integrated into the casing during the manufacturing process, eliminating the need for separate assembly steps and reducing overall manufacturing complexity and cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The casing serves dual purposes as both structural element and electrical conductor, reducing the total number of components that need to be manufactured and assembled, thereby lowering manufacturing costs.
