Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery connection modules using single layer flexible circuit boards face challenges in achieving wiring intersections due to limited space and compact wiring arrangements, which cannot be effectively addressed by prior art.
Innovation Solution
The battery connection module employs a single layer wiring flexible circuit board with rounding traces and rounded traces that round the rear end connecting points of the rounded traces, allowing for effective wiring intersections without requiring additional layers or significant structural reinforcement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a single layer flexible circuit board is used to reduce cost, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but wiring intersection cannot be achieved in limited space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by making the circuit board flexible and enabling it to fold along a folding line. This transforms a two-dimensional planar layout into a three-dimensional folded structure, allowing wiring intersections to be achieved in limited space while maintaining a single layer construction. The flexible circuit board can be folded such that wiring lines intersect at different spatial levels, resolving the contradiction between cost reduction and wiring complexity.
2Device complexity
If the flexible circuit board is cut to enable wiring intersection, then wiring intersection is achieved, but structure strength is significantly lowered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the flexible circuit board into multiple sections separated by folding lines. Instead of cutting through the board to create intersections, the board is segmented into regions that can be folded independently. This allows wiring lines to intersect in three-dimensional space while maintaining the continuous structural integrity of each segment, avoiding the strength reduction associated with cutting.
3Device complexity
If a two or more layer flexible circuit board is used to achieve wiring intersection, then wiring intersection is realized, but price and cost burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dimensionality change to achieve wiring intersections in a single layer by folding the circuit board in three-dimensional space. This eliminates the need for multiple layers, thereby significantly reducing manufacturing costs while still achieving the required wiring intersections. The folding mechanism creates vertical separation between wiring lines that would otherwise require multiple planar layers.
