Mobile Battery Exchange Device Deterioration Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users are not sufficiently satisfied with the capability of mobile batteries rented from automated exchange devices, as the same fully charged batteries have varying deterioration levels, affecting their performance.
Innovation Solution
An exchange device and system that assesses the usage state and deterioration degree of returned mobile batteries to determine the most suitable battery to rent out, ensuring the user receives a battery with the desired capability, by using a return processing section to acquire usage state and deterioration degree information and a rental processing section to select batteries based on these criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fully charged mobile battery is dispensed from the automated exchange device, then the battery is available for immediate use, but the user satisfaction cannot be guaranteed due to varying deterioration levels affecting battery capability
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of the returned battery's usage state and deterioration degree before the exchange process. The return processing section evaluates the battery condition in advance, and the rental processing section pre-determines whether a suitable replacement battery exists in the storage, ensuring reliable battery capability matching before the user completes the exchange.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by acquiring usage state information from the returned battery and using this information to inform the rental decision. The return processing section gathers data on charge-discharge cycles and usage patterns, which feeds into the rental processing section's determination logic, creating a closed-loop system that continuously improves battery selection accuracy.
2Ease of operation
If the exchange device rents out any available charged battery, then the exchange process is simple and fast, but the battery capability may not meet user needs due to deterioration variations
Solution Approach 1:
The exchange device autonomously performs the assessment and selection functions without requiring user intervention. The return processing section automatically evaluates the returned battery's usage state, and the rental processing section independently determines the most suitable replacement battery, allowing the exchange process to remain simple and fast while ensuring capability adequacy through automated intelligent decision-making.
3Reliability
If the device assesses usage state and deterioration degree before rental, then user satisfaction increases, but the processing complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The assessment and rental determination functions are segmented into separate processing sections. The return processing section handles usage state acquisition and deterioration assessment, while the rental processing section handles the determination of suitable battery replacement. This segmentation allows each section to specialize in specific tasks, improving processing efficiency while maintaining the necessary complexity for accurate assessment.

AI summary
An exchange device capable of renting a mobile battery that can increase user satisfaction. The exchange device, which accommodates a plurality of mobile batteries and lends the accommodated mobile batteries when the mobile batteries are returned, includes: a return processing unit that acquires a usage state of the returned mobile batteries; and a lending processing unit that determines whether or not the mobile battery that can be lent is present for the plurality of mobile batteries accommodated in the exchange device on the basis of the usage state.
