Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional battery packs used as home energy storage devices require easy installation and transportation while maintaining an aesthetic design, which is not adequately addressed by existing solutions.

Innovation Solution

A battery pack design featuring a pack case with a space groove at both side and rear portions, including a case base with drainage holes, a case body with heat-dissipating beads, and a detachable mount bracket for easy handling and mounting, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the battery pack is designed with a compact structure for easy transportation, then transportation ease is improved, but installation flexibility and aesthetic design may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation easeVSAvoidinstallation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The battery pack is divided into modular components including a case body, case cover, mount bracket, and drainage hole assembly. This segmentation allows the pack to be easily transported as a complete unit while also enabling flexible installation configurations through the detachable mount bracket that can be positioned at different locations on the case.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the battery pack is designed with a compact structure for easy transportation, then transportation ease is improved, but aesthetic design may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation easeVSAvoidaesthetic design
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The space groove is strategically positioned only at specific locations (both side portions and rear portion) rather than uniformly across the entire case. This local differentiation allows the handle to be exposed only where needed for transportation, while maintaining a clean, aesthetic appearance at the front and other visible surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
