Battery Power Distribution Layout With External Connection Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The large spacing between electrical members in power distribution apparatuses leads to poor structural compactness and a large overall outline size, affecting the performance and manufacturing costs of power consuming devices.
Innovation Solution
The power distribution apparatus is designed with first and second electrical members, where a gap is formed between them, and their connection terminals are located outside the gap, reducing the spacing and allowing for a more compact arrangement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If connection terminals are located within the gap between electrical members, then connection operation space is sufficient, but the spacing between electrical members must be large, resulting in poor structural compactness and large overall size
Solution Approach 1:
The connection terminal is positioned outside the gap between electrical members, utilizing spatial dimensionality change to resolve the contradiction. By moving the connection terminal from within the gap to an external location, the patent achieves both sufficient connection operation space and reduced spacing between electrical members, thereby improving structural compactness while maintaining ease of connection operations.
2Volume of moving object
If spacing between electrical members is reduced for compactness, then structural compactness improves, but connection operation space becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The connection terminal is extracted from the gap region between electrical members and positioned externally. This extraction allows the gap spacing to be minimized for compactness while the connection terminal operates from an external position where sufficient operation space is available, thus resolving the contradiction between compactness and ease of operation.
3Ease of operation
If large spacing is maintained between electrical members, then connection operations are easier, but the overall outline size of the power distribution apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
By repositioning the connection terminal to an external location outside the gap between electrical members, the patent enables compact arrangement of electrical members within the apparatus while providing adequate connection operation space externally. This dimensional repositioning reduces the overall outline size while maintaining ease of connection operations.

AI summary
A power distribution apparatus, a battery, and a power-consuming device are provided. The power distribution apparatus includes a first electrical member and a second electrical member. The first electrical member includes a first connection terminal configured to electrically connect to another electrical member. A first gap is formed between the first and second electrical members. The first connection terminal is positioned outside the first gap, such that the space required for connection operations is moved out of the gap. This allows the distance between the first and second electrical members to be reduced, enhancing the structural compactness of the power distribution apparatus. As a result, the overall size of the apparatus can be minimized. This compact configuration is beneficial for reducing the outline dimensions of the power distribution apparatus, improving the layout flexibility and structural integration of a power-consuming device, enhancing performance, and lowering manufacturing costs.
