Power Tool Battery Pack Temperature Sensor Mounting Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery packs for power tools lack a secure mounting mechanism for temperature detection apparatuses, leading to potential detachment and instability.
Innovation Solution
The battery pack incorporates a detection support to fix the temperature detection apparatus in place, using a fixing hole and adhesive for secure attachment, and includes a reinforcement member to enhance the flexible circuit board's strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the temperature detection apparatus is directly inserted on the cell support without a secure mounting mechanism, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability of temperature detection deteriorates due to potential detachment and instability
Solution Approach 1:
A detection support is introduced as an intermediary component between the cell support and the temperature detection apparatus. The detection support includes a fixing hole that receives and secures the temperature detection apparatus, preventing direct insertion while maintaining structural simplicity. This intermediary element resolves the contradiction by providing reliable mounting without significantly increasing overall device complexity.
2Reliability
If the temperature detection apparatus is firmly mounted using adhesive in the fixing hole, then the reliability of temperature detection is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates due to difficulty in detachment and replacement
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is designed with dynamic characteristics, allowing the temperature detection apparatus to be detachably fixed rather than permanently bonded. The detection support structure enables the apparatus to be securely held during operation but can be removed when needed for repair or replacement, transforming a static permanent mounting into a dynamic reversible connection.
3Volume of moving object
If the flexible circuit board is made thinner to reduce device volume, then the volume of the battery pack is reduced, but the strength of the flexible circuit board deteriorates making it more prone to damage
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible circuit board utilizes composite material construction, combining flexible substrate materials with reinforcing elements. This composite approach allows the circuit board to maintain thin profile for reduced volume while incorporating strength-enhancing components that prevent damage, resolving the contradiction between miniaturization and structural integrity.
