Battery Isolation Plate Assembly for Visible Component Inspection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The assembly process of isolation plate assemblies in batteries is complex, leading to increased production costs and reduced efficiency due to the need for multiple inspection procedures and potential damage to components during welding.
Innovation Solution
An isolation plate assembly with a removal portion in the accommodating seat allows for clear observation of components without turning over the assembly, and a detachable protection member provides protection and easy maintenance, reducing inspection and maintenance costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the isolation plate assembly is designed with a complete accommodating seat without openings, then the components inside are well protected, but the inspection process becomes complex and time-consuming requiring multiple inspection procedures and turning over the assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The accommodating seat is segmented with a removal portion that creates an opening, allowing the interior to be divided into observable and protected zones. This segmentation enables simultaneous inspection access and component protection without requiring complete disassembly or turning over of the assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The removal portion acts as an intermediary element that mediates between the need for inspection and the need for protection. It provides a controlled access point that allows visual inspection of components while maintaining the overall protective enclosure of the accommodating seat.
2Manufacturing precision
If the isolation plate assembly requires multiple inspection procedures to ensure effective mounting, then the quality control is thorough, but the production costs increase and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The removal portion is pre-designed into the accommodating seat structure, enabling inspection to be performed as a preliminary action during the assembly process itself. This eliminates the need for separate post-assembly inspection procedures, maintaining quality control while improving production efficiency.
3Reliability
If the protection member is permanently fixed to the accommodating seat, then the component protection is reliable, but the maintenance and replacement of components becomes difficult and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The protection member transitions from a static permanently fixed state to a dynamic state where it can be detached and reattached. This dynamic design allows the protection member to provide reliable protection during operation while enabling easy maintenance and replacement when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable connection allows the protection member to be temporarily removed (discarded from the assembly) for maintenance purposes and then recovered (reattached) after maintenance. This enables component-level maintenance without replacing the entire assembly.
4Strength
If the isolation plate assembly is designed as a single integrated unit, then the structural integrity is high, but the assembly and maintenance processes are complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The isolation plate assembly is segmented into modular components (accommodating seat, protection member, connecting pieces) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. This segmentation reduces assembly complexity while maintaining structural integrity through proper connection design.

AI summary
This application provides an isolation plate assembly, a battery, and an electric apparatus. The isolation plate assembly includes: an isolation plate body, where the isolation plate body is provided with an accommodating seat; and a protection member, where the protection member is disposed in the accommodating seat and defines an accommodating space together with the accommodating seat. The accommodating seat is provided with a removal portion, such that at least part of the accommodating space is observable via the removal portion. The removal portion is provided such that conditions in the accommodating space can be observed clearly and easily, without the need to turn over the isolation plate assembly to inspect the components mounted in the accommodating space. Such arrangement greatly reduces the inspection costs, improves inspection efficiency, and avoids repeatedly turning over the isolation plate assembly, thereby enhancing the reliability of the inspection method.
