Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery securing components in straddle-type electric motorcycles require large-angle flipping of compartment covers for battery insertion and removal, leading to inconvenience and design limitations.
Innovation Solution
A battery securing component with a lifting column and a pressing sleeve that rotates and moves up/down, using an elastic engaging structure and pressure receiving grooves with varying sidewall heights to simplify battery locking and unlocking through 90-degree rotations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a compartment cover is flipped at a large angle to fully expose the opening for battery insertion and removal, then the battery can be removed and inserted more smoothly, but it makes placing and removing the battery more troublesome and inconvenient, and limits the design of the compartment cover and vehicle head to avoid interference with the flipped compartment cover
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the battery securing mechanism into separate functional components: a pressing arm for securing the battery, a pressing sleeve that rotates, and a lifting column for vertical movement. This segmentation eliminates the need for a large-angle flipping compartment cover, allowing the battery to be accessed through a fixed opening while maintaining secure attachment during rotation and pressing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing arm is designed to rotate with the pressing sleeve during battery insertion and removal, dynamically adjusting its position to guide the battery into place. The elastic engaging structure allows the pressing sleeve to rotate relative to the lifting column, providing dynamic movement that simplifies the operation without requiring a complex flipping cover mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If a compartment cover is flipped at a large angle to fully expose the opening for battery insertion and removal, then the battery can be removed and inserted more smoothly, but it makes placing and removing the battery more troublesome and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing arm is pre-positioned to engage with the battery before the battery is fully inserted. The elastic engaging structure is pre-configured to automatically engage with the lifting column when the pressing sleeve rotates, allowing the battery to be quickly secured without manual intervention or time-consuming operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic engaging structure automatically engages and disengages the pressing sleeve with the lifting column during rotation, without requiring additional manual operations. The pressing arm automatically guides and secures the battery as the pressing sleeve rotates, making the battery insertion and removal process self-service and significantly reducing the time required.
3Ease of operation
If an elastic engaging structure is used to drive the pressing sleeve to rotate in synchronization with the lifting column, then the battery securing component achieves synchronized rotation and pressing, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic engaging structure acts as an intermediary mechanism between the lifting column and the pressing sleeve. It provides a simple yet effective connection that enables synchronized rotation and pressing through elastic engagement, avoiding the need for complex mechanical linkages or multiple separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic engaging structure utilizes changes in elastic parameters (engagement and disengagement states) to control the synchronized rotation and pressing. When the pressing sleeve rotates, the elastic structure engages to synchronize movement; when rotation is complete, it disengages to allow independent movement, providing a simple parameter-based control mechanism.

Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy battery insertion and removal with reduced interference, enhances design flexibility, and improves user experience by minimizing structural complexity and manufacturing challenges.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic member is elastically deformed, and causes the engaging protrusion to maintain a tendency to move toward the pressing sleeve
Implementation Method 2
a lower end of the lifting column being threadedly connected to the vehicle body to cause the lifting column to be capable of moving up and down by rotating
