Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery heating systems experience partial dry heating and uneven heating due to gas entrapment between the heating component and the battery cell, leading to reduced cycling performance and service life, especially in extreme cold conditions.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an exhaust structure on the heating component to discharge gas between the battery cell and the heating component, ensuring complete adherence and improved heat transfer efficiency, with optional features like exhaust vents, anti-tear structures, and strategically placed heating wires.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the heating component is attached to the battery cell surface, then the heating effect is improved, but gas entrapment causes partial dry heating and reduces heating uniformity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful gas trapped between the heating component and battery cell surface by providing exhaust structures (exhaust vents or exhaust channels) that allow the gas to escape. This extraction of the harmful element (gas) enables complete adhesion of the heating component to the battery cell surface, eliminating partial dry heating and achieving uniform heating across the entire surface.
2Loss of energy
If the heating component adheres completely to the battery cell surface, then heat transfer efficiency is improved, but gas entrapment prevents complete adhesion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful effect of gas entrapment into a beneficial exhaust flow pattern. By designing exhaust structures that guide gas escape, the gas that would otherwise cause dry heating is channeled through controlled paths (exhaust channels) or released through strategically positioned vents, transforming the harmful trapped gas into a controlled exhaust process that enables complete surface adhesion and efficient heat transfer.
3Reliability
If the exhaust structure is added to the heating component, then gas discharge and adhesion are improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the exhaust function directly into the heating component structure by integrating exhaust vents or exhaust channels into the heating component body. This integration allows the heating component to simultaneously perform heating and gas discharge functions through a single unified structure, avoiding the need for separate exhaust systems and thereby reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining reliable adhesion.
