Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If pins protrude from the side wall of the battery, then the connection with the circuit is facilitated, but the space occupied by the battery increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent relocates the electrode adapter sheets from the side wall (horizontal dimension) to the end face (vertical dimension) of the battery. This dimensional transition allows the connection pins to extend in the axial direction rather than radially, enabling the battery to fit more compactly within the electronic device while maintaining electrical connection functionality.
2Device complexity
If electrode adapter sheets are located at the side wall, then the connection structure is simplified, but the assembly compactness with battery compartment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode adapter sheets are repositioned from the side wall to the end face of the battery, changing their spatial arrangement from radial to axial orientation. This allows the battery to be installed in the battery compartment with the adapter sheets extending along the insertion direction, eliminating the need for additional lateral clearance and improving overall assembly compactness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If pins are disposed at the side wall, then the battery structure is conventional, but the miniaturization of battery and electronic device is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent innovates by moving the connection pins from the conventional side wall position to the end face position, allowing the battery to be oriented and connected in a different dimensional configuration. This enables more efficient space utilization within the electronic device, facilitating miniaturization while maintaining functional equivalence to conventional designs.
