Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple independent containers are used to store electrolyte, then each container can independently store electrolyte brought out during degassing, but the containers occupy a large space and the model changing process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent containers into a single integrated negative pressure mechanism with a unified receiving cavity. This receiving cavity is divided into multiple sub-cavities that can independently receive electrolyte from different batteries while sharing common structural support and control systems, thereby reducing overall space occupation while maintaining independent storage functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The negative pressure mechanism is designed as a universal device that can handle multiple battery models through adjustable connecting assemblies. The mechanism provides multi-functional capability by integrating electrolyte reception, negative pressure generation, and model adaptation features into a single system, eliminating the need for multiple specialized containers for different battery types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple independent containers are used for electrolyte storage, then each container can be dedicated to specific batteries, but the model changing process becomes complex and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving cavity is segmented into multiple sub-cavities, each capable of independently receiving electrolyte from different batteries. This segmentation allows the system to accommodate multiple battery models simultaneously while maintaining a unified structural framework, simplifying the model changing process as only the connecting assemblies need adjustment rather than the entire container system.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting assemblies are designed to be adjustable and reconfigurable, allowing dynamic adaptation to different battery models. This dynamic capability enables quick model changes without complex reconfiguration of the entire system, as the connecting assemblies can be easily adjusted to match different battery configurations while the main negative pressure mechanism remains stationary.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple independent containers are used, then electrolyte storage capacity is sufficient, but the overall device occupies excessive space
Solution Approach 1:
The sub-cavities are nested within the single receiving cavity structure, with each sub-cavity positioned to efficiently utilize the available space. This nested arrangement allows multiple electrolyte storage compartments to coexist within a compact unified structure, maximizing storage capacity while minimizing the overall volume occupied by the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiving cavity utilizes three-dimensional space efficiently by arranging sub-cavities in multiple levels and orientations. This spatial optimization allows the system to provide sufficient electrolyte storage capacity for multiple batteries while maintaining a compact footprint, as the sub-cavities are arranged to fill available volume rather than requiring separate ground-level containers.
