Rotatable Battery Cover Elastic Stop Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarette battery assemblies often experience paint peeling due to excessive rotation of the battery cover, leading to hard contact with the housing, which is inconvenient and results in the cover being easily lost or causing short circuits.
Innovation Solution
A battery assembly design featuring a main body with a battery compartment and a rotatable cover, equipped with an elastic assembly that abuts against the cover when rotated, preventing it from turning backwards and securely locking into place, thus preventing paint peeling and ensuring the cover remains attached.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the battery cover is designed to rotate for locking, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to paint peeling from excessive rotation
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic assembly is pre-installed on the main body to provide preliminary protective action. When the cover rotates, the elastic assembly proactively limits the rotation angle before paint peeling can occur, rather than reacting after damage happens. This preliminary constraint mechanism prevents the harmful effect while maintaining the rotating locking function.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic assembly acts as an intermediary element between the rotating cover and the stationary main body. It mediates the interaction by providing a flexible limiting mechanism that allows controlled rotation while preventing excessive movement that would cause paint peeling. The intermediary absorbs the conflict between rotation freedom and rotation limitation.
2Ease of operation
If the battery cover rotates freely to lock, then the ease of operation is improved, but object-generated harmful factors worsen due to collision with housing
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic assembly provides preliminary anti-action by opposing excessive rotation of the cover before collision with the housing occurs. It creates a counter-force that prevents the cover from rotating too far and causing paint peeling or collision damage, thereby eliminating the harmful effect generated by the cover's uncontrolled movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic assembly provides beforehand cushioning by being pre-installed in a position to absorb and limit rotation. It cushions against excessive rotational movement, preventing the cover from colliding with the housing and causing damage. This prior cushioning mechanism protects both the cover and housing from harmful collisions.
