Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The assembly procedure of conventional battery holders is complicated due to the need for reverse disposal and difficult hole alignment, leading to potential misalignment and wastage of time and labor.
Innovation Solution
A battery holder design featuring a rigid metal wire anode/cathode jumping unit, which replaces the conventional assembly of anode and cathode contact points and flexible hook-up wires, allowing for easier installation by being inserted from the top end and utilizing accommodation slots and partition plates for alignment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible hook-up wire with combination padding coils is used for connecting anode and cathode contact points, then the battery holder can provide a jumping connection, but the assembly procedure becomes complicated requiring reverse disposal and precise hole alignment
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible hook-up wire is divided into separate segments: the wire body and the combination padding coils at each end. The accommodation slot is also segmented with communication slots at its ends. This segmentation allows the wire to be inserted through the communication slots and accommodated in the slot without requiring complex alignment operations, simplifying the assembly procedure while maintaining the jumping connection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of inserting the flexible hook-up wire from the bottom surface of the case body (which would require reverse disposal), the wire is inserted from the top surface through the communication slots formed at the ends of the accommodation slot. This inverted insertion direction eliminates the need for reverse disposal and makes the assembly procedure more straightforward.
2Ease of operation
If the case body is reversely disposed for installing the flexible hook-up wire, then the wire can be inserted into the accommodation slot from the bottom surface, but the procedure becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion direction of the flexible hook-up wire is inverted from the conventional approach. Instead of inserting the wire from the bottom surface (requiring reverse disposal of the case body), the wire is inserted from the top surface through communication slots. This eliminates the need for reverse disposal, simplifies the operation, and reduces assembly time.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication slots are pre-formed at the ends of the accommodation slot during the molding process. This preliminary action allows the flexible hook-up wire to be easily inserted and positioned without requiring complex alignment operations or reverse disposal, thereby reducing assembly time and simplifying the installation procedure.
3Reliability
If combination padding coils are used at the distal ends of the flexible hook-up wire, then the wire can be riveted to contact points, but aligning the coils with connection holes becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The accommodation slot is designed with communication slots at its ends, which are positioned to align with the connection holes for the anode and cathode contact points. The combination padding coils at the distal ends of the flexible hook-up wire naturally align with these communication slots during insertion, eliminating the difficulty of hole alignment while maintaining connection reliability through proper riveting.
4Device complexity
If the accommodation slot is formed on the bottom surface of the case body, then the flexible hook-up wire can be accommodated, but the operator must reverse dispose the case body increasing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The accommodation slot is repositioned from the bottom surface to the top surface of the case body, and communication slots are formed at its ends. This inversion allows the flexible hook-up wire to be inserted from the top surface without requiring reverse disposal of the case body, thereby maintaining structural simplicity while significantly improving ease of operation.
