Battery Electrode Storage Container With Dual-Groove Moisture Sealing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage and transportation devices for battery electrode plates fail to maintain constant humidity, leading to moisture-related issues that affect the safety and performance of secondary batteries.
Innovation Solution
A storage and transportation device with a cover, supporting plate, and sealant grooves that facilitate the connection and overflow of sealant to seal the junction between the cover and supporting plate, effectively cutting off moisture passages and maintaining humidity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single sealant groove is used to seal the junction between cover and supporting plate, then the sealing structure is simple, but the sealing performance is insufficient and moisture can penetrate through
Solution Approach 1:
The single sealant groove is divided into two separate sealant grooves (first sealant groove and second sealant groove) positioned at different locations. This segmentation creates multiple sealing paths, ensuring that moisture must penetrate through both grooves to enter the storage space, thereby significantly improving sealing reliability without requiring complex additional components.
Solution Approach 2:
The two sealant grooves are arranged in different spatial dimensions/positions around the junction between cover and supporting plate. This dimensional arrangement creates a multi-layer sealing barrier that blocks moisture penetration paths from multiple directions, enhancing sealing performance while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Reliability
If desiccants are used to maintain humidity in the storage device, then humidity control is achieved, but the device complexity increases and additional materials are required
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using desiccants to actively control humidity, the invention converts the harmful moisture penetration issue into a benefit by creating such an effective passive sealant groove structure that moisture penetration is prevented at the source. The excellent sealing structure itself becomes the humidity control mechanism, eliminating the need for additional desiccant materials and reducing device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device achieves a good sealing effect, ensuring constant humidity and suitability for prolonged dry storage and transportation without relying on desiccants.
Implementation Method 1
the first sealant groove is in communication with the second sealant groove... the sealant in the first sealant groove may flow to the sealant in the second sealant groove, and vice versa
