Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If a technician manually replaces the battery in the electric vehicle, then the battery can be replaced, but the replacement process is time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service battery replacement through automated mechanisms. The movable platform automatically positions itself, the clamping mechanism automatically secures the battery, and the lifting mechanism automatically raises the battery pack, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing replacement time while simplifying operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable platform is pre-positioned at the battery location before replacement is needed. The clamping mechanism is pre-configured to engage with the battery pack, and the lifting mechanism is pre-arranged to receive the battery. This preliminary preparation enables rapid replacement when the battery needs to be changed.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the battery is securely clamped during lifting, then the battery remains stable, but the clamping mechanism adds device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping mechanism is extracted as a separate, dedicated component on the movable platform, specialized solely for securing the battery pack. This separation allows the clamping function to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system simplicity. The mechanism uses straightforward mechanical clamps that engage with standard battery pack features.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable platform acts as an intermediary between the lifting mechanism and the battery pack. The platform provides a stable base with integrated clamping features that simplify the connection interface, reducing the complexity of direct battery-to-lifter attachment while ensuring stable securing during the replacement process.

AI summary
Disclosed are a movable battery replacing platform (103) and a quick replacing system (100), wherein the movable battery replacing platform (103) comprises: a travel-driving portion (106) used for driving the movable battery replacing platform (103) to move on the ground; a lifting portion (107) mounted on the travel-driving portion (106), for lifting a battery during the replacement of the battery; and a battery mounting portion (108) mounted on the top of the lifting portion (107), for placing a battery to be replaced or a replaced battery, wherein the battery mounting porting (108) is provided with a battery replacing device. The device can use an unlocking device (50) 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 whole process is fully automated without manual intervention and can improve battery replacement efficiency. In addition, the angle of an upper board (10) 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 (103) remains still, so as to further improve unlocking efficiency.
