Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a test device tests battery cells at various angles, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple rotation axes requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The holder housing is divided into multiple body walls (first holder housing body wall, second holder housing body wall, etc.) that are spaced apart and connected by body bottoms. Each body wall can be independently positioned and rotated, allowing the battery cell to be tested at various angles without requiring a complex multi-axis rotation mechanism. The segmentation of the holder structure enables precise angular testing while maintaining manageable device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If holder housing body walls are spaced apart to accommodate battery cells, then adaptability is improved, but holder housing volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holder housing body walls are arranged in a nested configuration where multiple walls (first, second, third, fourth body walls) are spaced apart but connected through body bottoms to form a compact structure. This nesting approach allows the battery cell to be accommodated between the walls while minimizing the overall volume of the holder housing. The walls can be positioned to fit different battery cell sizes, providing adaptability without excessive volume increase.
