Battery Lock Release Mechanism for Safe Slide-Out Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicles with slide-out batteries face the risk of unintended battery removal due to inclines during parking, and existing restriction mechanisms are cumbersome to release manually.
Innovation Solution
A restriction releasing apparatus using a rotation section that transitions between a restriction and non-restriction position, facilitated by a support portion and release section, allowing easy release of the battery's movement restriction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a restriction apparatus is used to prevent battery movement during parking, then safety is improved, but the complexity of releasing the restriction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The restriction releasing apparatus enables automatic release of the restriction mechanism. The release section automatically rotates the rotation section from the restriction position to the non-restriction position, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing operational complexity while maintaining safety through automated control
Solution Approach 2:
The support portion acts as an intermediary mechanism that facilitates the rotation of the rotation section. By providing a movable support structure, the system mediates between the restriction apparatus and the release mechanism, enabling smooth transition between restricted and non-restricted states without direct manual manipulation
2Ease of operation
If manual operation is required to release restriction, then control precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically releasing the restriction through the release section rotating the rotation section. This eliminates manual operation requirements while maintaining precise control over the restriction release process, significantly improving ease of operation without requiring complex manual procedures

AI summary
A restriction releasing apparatus is a restriction releasing apparatus that releases restriction imposed by a restriction apparatus that restricts movement of a battery from an inner position in a vehicle to an outer position, and includes a support portion movable toward a restriction position and a release section supported by the support portion, in which the release section rotates the rotation section from the restriction position to a non-restriction position.
