Multi-Model Battery Pallet Layout With Overlapping Limiting Spaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery pallets have low compatibility, limiting them to accommodate only a single battery model, making it difficult to transport and process batteries of different models efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A pallet design with a limiting structure featuring multiple limiting spaces of varying sizes and orientations on a bottom support, allowing for the accommodation of multiple battery models by providing different projections and arrangements to fit various battery sizes and shapes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the pallet is designed with a single limiting space for one battery model, then the structure is simple, but the compatibility is low
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting structure is designed with multiple limiting spaces of different sizes and configurations that can accommodate various battery models. The same limiting structure serves multiple functions by providing different limiting spaces for different battery types, achieving universality without requiring multiple separate pallets
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting structure is divided into multiple independent limiting spaces, each capable of accommodating different battery models. This segmentation allows the pallet to handle various battery types simultaneously or selectively, improving compatibility while maintaining a unified structure
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple limiting spaces are added to accommodate different battery models, then compatibility improves, but the pallet size increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple limiting spaces are arranged in an overlapping or nested configuration where some limiting spaces share common boundaries or are positioned to maximize space utilization. This reduces the overall pallet footprint while maintaining multiple accommodating spaces for different battery models
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting spaces are arranged in three-dimensional space with overlapping projections, utilizing vertical and lateral dimensions efficiently. This allows multiple limiting spaces to coexist within a compact pallet footprint by exploiting spatial arrangement rather than simple linear expansion
3Area of stationary object
If limiting spaces are arranged to overlap, then pallet size is reduced, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Adjacent limiting spaces share common limiting members or boundaries, merging structural elements to reduce redundancy. This combining approach reduces the overall number of components needed while maintaining distinct limiting spaces for different battery models, simplifying the structure despite the overlapping arrangement

AI summary
A pallet, a battery processing device, and a battery production line is disclosed. The battery production line includes the battery processing device, and the battery processing device includes the pallet. The pallet includes a bottom support and a limiting structure. The limiting structure is disposed on the bottom support and encloses a plurality of limiting spaces; the limiting spaces are located on a side of the bottom support in a first direction (Z) and are used for limiting batteries; and the plurality of limiting spaces have different projections in the first direction (Z). In this way, the plurality of limiting spaces can be used for limiting batteries of a plurality of different models separately, that is, the pallet can be applicable to batteries of a plurality of different models, improving the compatibility and versatility of the pallet.
