Solution Overview

Problem

The formation of crystallization around the liquid injection hole during electrolyte injection in batteries affects the precision of sealing, making it difficult to accurately determine the center point of the liquid injection hole and potentially leading to issues like short circuits due to inaccurate positioning of metal sealing nails.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a positioning portion with a second center point that allows for precise determination of the first center point of the liquid injection hole through a preset distance relationship, ensuring accurate positioning and sealing even in the presence of crystallization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If electrolyte is injected through the liquid injection hole, then the battery can be filled with electrolyte, but crystallization forms around the injection hole making positioning difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrolyte fillingVSAvoidliquid injection hole center positioning
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming a positioning portion on the battery casing before electrolyte injection. This positioning portion includes a second center point that has a preset distance relationship with the first center point of the liquid injection hole. By establishing this reference structure in advance, the system enables accurate positioning of the liquid injection hole center even after crystallization occurs during electrolyte injection, thus resolving the measurement precision problem while maintaining the electrolyte filling function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If sealing nail is used to seal the liquid injection hole, then the injection hole can be sealed, but positioning accuracy is affected by crystallization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing reliabilityVSAvoidsealing nail positioning
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary element - the positioning portion with the second center point - that mediates between the crystallized liquid injection hole and the sealing nail. This positioning portion serves as a reference structure that is not affected by crystallization, allowing the sealing nail to be positioned accurately relative to the liquid injection hole center even when crystallization is present. The preset distance relationship between the first and second center points enables precise positioning without direct contact with the crystallized area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If direct positioning of liquid injection hole center is attempted, then positioning can be done, but crystallization makes it difficult to determine the center point

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecenter point determinationVSAvoidpositioning structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by separating the positioning function from the liquid injection hole itself. Instead of trying to directly position the liquid injection hole center (first center point) which is obscured by crystallization, the system creates a separate positioning portion with a second center point. This segmentation allows the positioning reference to be established independently from the problematic injection hole area, maintaining measurement precision while adding minimal complexity through the preset distance relationship.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
