Battery Unit Suspension Structure to Prevent Frame Collision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Batteries are not very safe during transportation or use, posing a significant potential safety hazard due to the risk of deformation or explosion from collisions with the frame body.
Innovation Solution
A battery design featuring a frame body with a hollow region, a bearing body mated to the frame body, and a battery unit spaced apart from the frame body, connected to the bearing body, which reduces the likelihood of collisions and deformation during transportation and use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the battery unit is arranged close to the frame body to improve space utilization, then the space utilization is improved, but the safety is worsened due to increased risk of collision and deformation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a buffer structure as an intermediary element positioned between the battery unit and the frame body. This buffer structure serves as a mediator that absorbs impact forces and prevents direct contact between the battery unit and frame body during collisions, thereby maintaining safety while allowing closer arrangement for better space utilization.
2Reliability
If the battery unit is spaced apart from the frame body to improve safety, then the safety is improved, but the space utilization is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the spacing distance parameter between the battery unit and frame body to a specific range. By changing this dimensional parameter to an optimal value, the design achieves sufficient safety protection while minimizing the impact on space utilization, thus resolving the contradiction between safety and space efficiency.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the battery unit is fixed to the frame body to prevent movement, then the stability is improved, but the safety is worsened due to increased collision risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic connection system where the buffer structure can deform or compress under impact forces. This dynamic characteristic allows the battery unit to remain stable during normal operation while providing safety protection during abnormal conditions such as collisions, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and safety.
