Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional inspection approaches are used, then comprehensive battery health assessment can be achieved, but the inspection process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The battery inspection process is divided into multiple inspection time points (first time point, second time point, etc.), allowing the comprehensive health assessment to be conducted in staged intervals rather than requiring all measurements to be completed simultaneously, thus reducing the perceived inspection time while maintaining assessment comprehensiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary inspections at a first time point to generate initial health inspection data and classification status, then conducts follow-up inspections at a second time point to update the data. This preliminary action approach allows for early classification and resource allocation while completing comprehensive assessment over time
2Quantity of substance
If conventional inspection approaches are used, then detailed health data can be collected, but the data analysis capability becomes limited when handling large volumes of data
Solution Approach 1:
A computing device serves as an intermediary between the inspection device and the cloud database, automatically processing and analyzing the health inspection data to determine classification status. This intermediary handles the computational burden of analyzing large volumes of data, enabling the system to collect extensive health data without being limited by manual data analysis capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual or conventional data analysis methods with automated computational processing and cloud-based data management. The computing device and cloud database system automatically handle large volumes of inspection data, substituting mechanical or human data analysis with automated digital processing to improve productivity
3Productivity
If classification-based recycling is implemented, then recycling efficiency can be enhanced, but the system requires accurate and rapid battery classification capability
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs multiple inspections at different time points and updates the health inspection data in the cloud database. The classification status is determined based on accumulated data from multiple inspections, providing feedback that improves classification accuracy over time while maintaining rapid processing capability
Solution Approach 2:
The computing device determines classification status based on health inspection data from the first time point, enabling preliminary classification that drives recycling efficiency. Subsequent inspections at the second time point refine this classification, ensuring accuracy while maintaining the productivity benefits of early classification

AI summary
A battery inspection and management method includes inspecting a target battery at a first time point to generate health inspection data, uploading the health inspection data to a cloud database, determining a classification status of the target battery based on the health inspection data with a preset health range and generating a label for attachment on the target battery, and inspecting the target battery at a second time point later than the first time point to update the health inspection data of the target battery in the cloud database. A battery inspection and management system includes an inspection device, a computing device, and a label printer, wherein the computing device is connected to the inspection device and the label printer.
