Battery Mounting Device With Hinged Cover And Sliding Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing battery maintenance devices require significant dismantling efforts to access and test batteries, which complicates the maintenance process and increases the effort required for complex testing procedures.
Innovation Solution
A device with a hinged housing cover and a moving mechanism that includes sliding or rolling means, allowing the battery to be easily pulled out or inserted without dismantling, using aligned guide rails and rollers for support and movement, along with a pivoting lever arrangement for additional stability and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the battery is firmly screwed in the battery box, then the battery is securely fixed in the housing, but significant dismantling effort is required to remove the battery for testing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from a static screwed connection to a dynamic removable connection system. The battery trough is equipped with rollers that can be manually moved from an operating position (where they are ineffective) to a moving position (where they enable easy movement). This dynamic transformation allows the same connection system to provide both secure fixation during normal operation and easy removal during maintenance, resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces sliding or rolling means as an intermediary element between the battery trough and the housing guide rails. These intermediary elements (rollers) facilitate the transition from a fixed state to a movable state, enabling easy battery removal without requiring complete dismantling. The guide rails act as another intermediary, providing a controlled path for battery insertion and removal. This intermediary mechanism resolves the contradiction by mediating between the need for secure fixation and easy removal.
2Reliability
If the housing cover is fixed, then the housing provides protection against contamination, but the battery cannot be easily accessed for testing
Solution Approach 1:
The housing cover is transformed from a fixed protective element to a dynamic hinged cover that can pivot between a closed position (providing protection) and an open position (providing access). This dynamic characteristic allows the cover to fulfill both protective and access functions, resolving the contradiction between reliability (protection) and ease of operation (access).
Solution Approach 2:
The housing cover is segmented from the main housing structure through the hinge connection, allowing it to move independently. This segmentation enables the cover to be opened for battery access while maintaining the protective function when closed, resolving the contradiction between protection and accessibility.
3Ease of operation
If sliding or rolling means are always effective, then the battery can be easily moved, but the battery cannot be securely held in the housing
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding or rolling means are designed with dynamic characteristics, being manually movable between an operating position (ineffective for movement) and a moving position (effective for movement). This dynamic switching capability allows the system to provide either secure fixation or easy movement as needed, resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation.
