Angled Battery Module Tool for Hidden Nut Disassembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge is to prevent unauthorized disassembly of battery modules by ensuring that only some bolts and nuts are exposed, while allowing authorized personnel to easily disassemble hidden nuts for maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A disassembling tool with a rotatable first rotation member, connection shaft, and housing inclined relative to the ground surface, coupled with universal joints, allows for the disassembly of hidden nuts by transmitting rotation force and featuring a coupling groove for correct alignment with the battery module's coupling protrusion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all bolts and nuts are exposed to the outside, then the battery module can be easily disassembled by anyone, but unauthorized persons can also disassemble the battery module causing safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is segmented into two types: exposed bolts/nuts for authorized access and hidden bolts/nuts for security. This segmentation allows different access levels - ordinary persons can only see exposed fasteners while hidden fasteners require the specialized disassembling tool to access, thus maintaining security while enabling authorized disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The disassembling tool acts as an intermediary device that bridges the gap between security requirements and authorized access. The tool with its specific coupling groove and inclined housing is the only means to access hidden nuts, serving as a controlled intermediary that authorized personnel use to disassemble the battery module without compromising security.
2Reliability
If some bolts and nuts are hidden to prevent unauthorized disassembly, then security is improved, but general disassembling tools cannot access hidden nuts making authorized disassembly difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The disassembling tool serves as a specialized intermediary device with a coupling groove that fits onto the coupling protrusion of hidden nuts. This intermediary tool transmits rotational force to the hidden nuts, enabling authorized personnel to disassemble them while maintaining the security benefit of hidden fasteners against general tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The disassembling tool changes the operational parameters by providing a specific coupling interface (coupling groove matching coupling protrusion) and mechanical advantage through its inclined housing design. This parameter change enables access to hidden nuts that are inaccessible to standard disassembling tools, thus maintaining security while enabling authorized repair.
3Ease of operation
If a specialized disassembling tool with specific coupling structure is used, then hidden nuts can be accessed, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The disassembling tool combines multiple functions in a single device: the coupling groove provides interface compatibility with hidden nuts, the inclined housing provides mechanical advantage for rotation, and the universal joint allows angular adjustment. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized tools while maintaining access capability to hidden fasteners.
