Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual method is used to move the battery, then labor intensity is high, but the device complexity is low
Solution Approach 1:
The battery replacement system is divided into multiple functional modules: a movable platform for positioning, a lifting mechanism for vertical movement, and an unlocking device for releasing the battery. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, reducing overall labor intensity while keeping individual components relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery replacement system is designed to perform operations autonomously without requiring manual handling of the heavy battery. The movable platform automatically positions itself, the lifting mechanism autonomously elevates the battery, and the unlocking device automatically releases locking mechanisms, thereby eliminating manual labor intensity.
2Volume of moving object
If mechanical method is used to move the battery, then driving device size is large, but the manufacturing cost is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional large-scale mechanical driving devices with a more compact system. The movable platform uses a streamlined driving mechanism that reduces the size of the driving device while maintaining the capability to move the heavy battery, thereby reducing space occupation without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity.
3Productivity
If existing replacement equipment is used, then replacement speed is reduced, but the device complexity is low
Solution Approach 1:
The movable platform is pre-equipped with an unlocking device that can automatically unlock the battery from the vehicle before the battery is physically removed. This preliminary action of unlocking prepares the battery for quick extraction, significantly increasing replacement speed without requiring complex additional equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable platform serves as an intermediary device between the battery and the vehicle. It provides a standardized interface with locking and unlocking mechanisms that facilitate rapid battery exchange, increasing replacement speed while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.
4Measurement precision
If precise traveling positioning is required, then positioning accuracy is high, but the device complexity is low
Solution Approach 1:
The movable platform incorporates positioning feedback mechanisms that detect the platform's location and adjust its movement accordingly. This feedback system ensures precise traveling positioning and accurate alignment with the battery mounting seat, achieving high positioning accuracy through relatively simple control logic.

AI summary
A movable battery replacing platform includes a travel-driving portion used for driving the movable battery replacing platform to move on the ground; a lifting portion mounted on the travel-driving portion, for lifting a battery during the replacement of the battery; and a battery mounting portion mounted on the top of the lifting portion, for placing a battery to be replaced or a replaced battery. The battery mounting porting is provided with a battery replacing device. The device can use an unlocking device to unlock a battery locked on the bottom of an electric vehicle, automatically aligning an unlocking point of a battery locking mechanism and realizing automatic unlocking in the movement. The angle of an upper board relative to the battery unlocking position can be adjusted by a movement actuating device, so that the unlocking point of the battery can automatically fit where the movable battery replacing platform remains still.
