Battery Mounting Sling With Hose Holding Opening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery mounting structures on vehicles often lead to decreased work efficiency and increased risk of failure when attaching components, particularly hose members, during the assembly process.
Innovation Solution
A battery mounting method utilizing a sling with a hose holding portion that facilitates easy assembly and detection of assembly failures by positioning the hose opening on the worker's side, ensuring the hose member is caught when removal issues occur, thus preventing assembly failures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the hose member is attached to the battery module before mounting on the vehicle, then the work efficiency is improved, but the risk of failure to attach the hose member correctly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hose member attachment process is segmented into two independent stages: (1) attaching the hose to the battery module before vehicle mounting, and (2) completing the hose attachment to the vehicle body after mounting. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving both efficiency and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The hose member is preliminarily attached to the battery module before the battery is mounted on the vehicle. This preliminary action ensures the hose is positioned correctly and reduces the complexity of the final attachment step, thereby improving both work efficiency and attachment success rate.
2Reliability
If the hose member is attached after the battery is mounted on the vehicle, then the attachment failure risk is reduced, but the work efficiency declines
Solution Approach 1:
The hose member attachment process is segmented into two independent stages: (1) attaching the hose to the battery module before vehicle mounting, and (2) completing the hose attachment to the vehicle body after mounting. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving both efficiency and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The hose member is preliminarily attached to the battery module before the battery is mounted on the vehicle. This preliminary action ensures the hose is positioned correctly and reduces the complexity of the final attachment step, thereby improving both work efficiency and attachment success rate.
3Ease of operation
If the hose opening is not positioned on the worker side, then the assembly structure is simpler, but the ease of assembly is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The hose holding portion is designed with a specific local quality feature: the hose opening is positioned on the worker side (rear end side) of the sling. This localized design change improves the ease of assembly by allowing workers to easily access and manipulate the hose during the attachment process, while the overall sling structure remains simple.

AI summary
To prevent the failure to assemble a hose member to a vehicle body during an operation for mounting a battery on a vehicle, while increasing the ease of assembly of the hose member, which is an attached component of the battery. A sling (5) is used which is mounted to move a battery (4) and which is removed after the battery (4) is moved to a position for assembly onto the vehicle body. In this structure for mounting a battery on a vehicle, the battery (4) includes a gas discharge hose (6) as an attached component which is assembled onto the vehicle body after the battery (4) is mounted. The sling (5) is provided with a hose holding opening (51) for holding the gas discharge hose (6). The hose holding opening (51) includes a hose opening (52) for removing the gas discharge hose (6) being held, the hose opening being set on the worker side.
