Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the engagement portion of the switch and the locking structure is made long to satisfy the needs for long-distance transmission of motion, then the transmission distance is improved, but the stability of force transmission deteriorates due to wobbling and potential bending
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission mechanism is divided into multiple connecting rods (first connecting rod, second connecting rod, etc.) that work together in sequence. Each rod has a limited length to maintain rigidity, while the series arrangement achieves the required long-distance transmission without any single component becoming excessively long and unstable
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting rods are arranged in an overlapping configuration where the second connecting rod is positioned behind the first connecting rod, and subsequent rods follow this pattern. This nested-like arrangement allows the mechanism to achieve extended transmission distance while maintaining compact structure and preventing individual rod deformation
2Use of energy by moving object
If the battery device is made large to satisfy power needs, then the energy capacity is improved, but the compatibility with standard working devices deteriorates due to engagement difficulties
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is segmented into multiple connecting rods of manageable lengths rather than a single long component. This segmentation allows the large battery device to maintain a compact engagement profile that is compatible with standard working devices while still providing the necessary transmission distance through the series arrangement of rods
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting rods are arranged in an overlapping configuration along the transmission direction, utilizing spatial arrangement in multiple dimensions. This allows the mechanism to achieve the required transmission distance without increasing the overall engagement footprint, maintaining compatibility with standard working devices

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides stable force transmission and prevents damage to components, enabling large battery devices to engage securely with standard-sized working devices while maintaining structural integrity.
Implementation Method 1
a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a motion of the operation component to the locking component when the operation component is actuated so as to make the locking component disengage from the working device, wherein the transmission mechanism comprises at least two connecting rods which are sequentially overlapped in a force transmission direction
Implementation Method 2
The battery device further comprises elastic members, and the elastic members are configured to accumulate force when the operation component is pressed, and bias the operation component and/or the transmission mechanism and/or the locking component to return to its original position when the external force disappears

AI summary
The present invention provides a battery device and a working assembly having the battery device. The battery device comprises a locking component, an operation component and a transmission mechanism. The locking component can engage with or disengage from a working device. The operation component is spaced apart from the locking component and can be actuated by an operator. The transmission mechanism is configured to transmit a motion of the operation component to the locking component when the operation component is actuated, and the transmission mechanism comprises at least two connecting rods which are sequentially connected to each other in a force transmission direction. The present invention can satisfy the needs for long-distance transmission of motion between an actuating component and the locking component. In addition, force-exerting and force-receiving components in the force transmission chain all have sufficient rigidity and are not easy to deform and not prone to wobbling, thus ensuring the stability of force transmission and also avoiding the possibility of damage caused by deformation of the force-exerting and force-receiving components under the action of force.
