Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a plastic sealing film packaging bag is used, then the battery structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the corners of the packaging bag are prone to damage during use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining the plastic sealing film packaging bag with an easy-peel adhesive tape that has a specific structure including overlapping lugs. The adhesive tape acts as a protective composite layer that reinforces the corners of the packaging bag, preventing damage while maintaining the simplicity of the original packaging structure. This resolves the contradiction by adding a protective element that does not complicate the manufacturing process significantly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements beforehand cushioning by designing the easy-peel adhesive tape with overlapping lugs that extend beyond the edges of the packaging bag. These lugs are positioned in advance to cover and protect the corners before any damage can occur during use. The adhesive tape is applied beforehand to ensure the corners are reinforced against potential impacts or stresses.
2Reliability
If an easy-peel adhesive tape is added to protect corners, then the durability of the packaging bag is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the easy-peel adhesive tape into distinct functional regions: surface regions that adhere to the packaging bag, side surface regions that wrap around edges, and lugs that extend to protect corners. This segmented design allows each part to perform its specific function efficiently while keeping the overall structure manageable and not excessively complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The easy-peel adhesive tape serves multiple functions simultaneously: it adheres the packaging bag to the battery compartment, protects the corners from damage, and provides a means for easy removal when needed. By combining these functions into a single component, the patent avoids adding multiple separate parts, thus limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving improved durability.
3Reliability
If the adhesive tape has overlapping lugs, then the force distribution is improved and corner breakage is reduced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the dimensions and positioning of the lugs on the adhesive tape. The lugs are designed with specific lengths and widths, and are positioned at defined distances from the edges of the packaging bag. These parameters are chosen to ensure adequate force distribution and corner protection while remaining within achievable manufacturing tolerances, thus balancing reliability improvement with manufacturing precision requirements.

AI summary
A secondary battery and an electronic apparatus are provided. The secondary battery includes an electrode assembly, a packaging bag, a tab, and an easy-peel adhesive tape. The packaging bag includes a main body portion configured to accommodate the electrode assembly. The main body portion includes a first surface, a second surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, and a third side surface, where the first side surface and the second side surface are oppositely disposed. The tab is electrically connected to the electrode assembly and protrudes from the first side surface. The easy-peel adhesive tape includes a first surface region, a second surface region, a first side surface region, a first lug, and a second lug. The first surface region is adhered to the first surface, the second surface region is adhered to the second surface, and the first side surface region is adhered to the third side surface. The first lug is disposed at an edge of the first side surface region and adhered to the second side surface, and the second lug is disposed at an edge of the first surface region or the second surface region and adhered to the second side surface. When observed in a second direction, the second lug and the first lug have a first overlapping portion.
