Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional battery modules require separate processing and assembly of output electrode bases and connector mounting bases, leading to low assembly efficiency and integration.
Innovation Solution
An output electrode assembly with a single fastening base that integrates both the connector and output electrode connecting sheet, featuring a partition wall with mounting portions and a supporting structure for the circuit board, reducing the number of components and enhancing assembly efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If two independent sets of components (output electrode base and connector mounting base) are used to mount the output electrode connecting sheet and connector respectively, then the mounting function is achieved, but the assembly efficiency is low and integration is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the output electrode base and connector mounting base into a single integrated base structure. This unified base simultaneously provides mounting functions for both the output electrode connecting sheet and the connector, eliminating the need for two separate components and their respective assembly processes, thereby improving assembly efficiency and integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated base is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both the output electrode base and the connector mounting base. The single structure provides mounting surfaces and fixing mechanisms for both the output electrode connecting sheet and the connector, making one component perform the roles of what were previously two separate components.
2Productivity
If two independent sets of components are processed and formed separately, then each component can be optimized independently, but the assembly process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
By combining the output electrode base and connector mounting base into one integrated component, the patent reduces the number of separate processing operations. Instead of processing two independent components separately and then assembling them, the integrated base can be processed as a single unit, simplifying the manufacturing process and improving productivity.

AI summary
This application provides an output electrode assembly including a circuit board, a connector, an output electrode connecting sheet and a fastening base. The connector is disposed at one end of the circuit board in a longitudinal direction of the output electrode assembly, and the output electrode connecting sheet is spaced apart from the connector in a transverse direction of the output electrode assembly. The fastening base has a partition wall; a first mounting portion formed on one side of the partition wall in the transverse direction, where the connector is fixedly mounted to the first mounting portion; and a second mounting portion formed on the other side of the partition wall in the transverse direction, where the output electrode connecting sheet is fixedly mounted to the second mounting portion. The fastening base has functions of both an output electrode base and a connector mounting base in a battery module.
