Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a sliding clamping and fixing mode is used for the battery cover structure, then the cover can be opened and closed, but the structure becomes complex and occupies large space
Solution Approach 1:
The battery cover structure is divided into independent functional modules: the cover body, the support frame with凹槽 (recess), and the elastic block ejection mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function with a simple structure, avoiding the need for complex connecting parts while enabling easy opening and closing through the elastic block's interaction with the凹槽.
2Ease of operation
If the cover body is arranged at the edge of the shell to facilitate opening, then opening is easier, but other component design requirements cannot be met and battery position cannot be moved
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is designed with a凹槽 (recess) that extends into the shell body, creating a three-dimensional engagement structure. This allows the cover body to be positioned at the edge for easy opening while the凹槽 provides structural support and positioning in the internal dimension, enabling flexible arrangement of other components and battery position without compromising opening convenience.
3Duration of action of moving object
If a sliding clamping structure is used, then the cover can be movable, but the structure occupies large space and hinders miniaturization
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic block serves as a flexible element that provides the necessary mobility and locking function with minimal space. When the cover is pushed, the elastic block deforms elastically to allow movement, then returns to its original shape to lock the cover in place. This flexible mechanism replaces bulky sliding clamping structures, enabling cover mobility while occupying minimal space and supporting miniaturization of the optical communication equipment.
4Device complexity
If the cover body is connected to the shell at one side when opened, then the structure is simple, but convenience for battery insertion and removal is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic block is positioned within the凹槽 such that when the cover body is pushed, the elastic block automatically ejects from the凹槽, providing self-powered ejection without requiring additional motors or complex mechanisms. This self-service ejection mechanism maintains simple structure while significantly improving battery insertion and removal convenience, as users can easily push the cover to open it for battery access.
