Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If batteries are arranged in a row with output electrodes at opposite ends, then the connection between batteries is simple, but the connection structure between battery modules becomes complicated and energy density is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a one-dimensional linear arrangement to a two-dimensional planar arrangement by positioning batteries in parallel rows with output electrodes facing the same direction. This dimensional change allows output electrodes to be located at the same end of the battery module, simplifying module connections while maintaining compact space utilization and high energy density.
2Productivity
If output electrodes are positioned at the same end of the battery module, then connection efficiency between modules is improved, but the arrangement space for batteries is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes a two-dimensional planar layout where batteries are arranged in parallel rows perpendicular to the direction of output electrode extension. This spatial arrangement allows output electrodes to be positioned at the same end for efficient module connections while maintaining adequate arrangement space through optimized row spacing and perpendicular orientation.
