Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If traditional separate equipment is used for battery shell and cell module assembly, then each function can be performed independently, but the overall device occupies large space and has low space utilization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate functions (flipping, conveying, gripping, relocating, and assembling) into a single integrated encasing device. The first bracket serves as a common support structure for the flipping mechanism, conveying sliding table, gripping mechanism, and relocation mechanism, thereby reducing the overall device space while maintaining functional independence through modular design.
2Productivity
If traditional assembly equipment is used, then each component can be assembled separately, but the assembly efficiency is low and labor costs are high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a continuous assembly process where the battery shell is flipped, conveyed, gripped, and relocated in sequence without interruption. The relocation mechanism directly positions the battery shell onto the cell module after gripping, eliminating intermediate handling steps and achieving continuous useful action throughout the assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The encasing device performs all assembly operations autonomously through its integrated mechanisms. The gripping mechanism automatically secures the battery shell, the relocation mechanism automatically positions it onto the cell module, and the entire process requires no manual intervention, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing labor costs.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional mounting equipment is used, then standard procedures can be followed, but the cost of labor and material for mounting and maintenance is high
Solution Approach 1:
The encasing device is designed with multi-functional capabilities that allow it to perform flipping, conveying, gripping, relocating, and assembling operations within a single integrated system. This universality reduces the need for multiple separate equipment pieces, thereby lowering both labor and material costs while improving mounting efficiency.
