Solution Overview
Problem
Current rechargeable lithium batteries face inconveniences when carried outdoors due to the need for separate storage, leading to entanglement and potential damage, which affects their functionality and lifespan.
Innovation Solution
A portable charging and discharging integrated battery assembly that includes a lithium battery, a storage bag with a charging interface, and a secured charging cable, utilizing hook-and-loop fasteners and snap-fit structures for secure storage and easy carrying, along with optional handle and high-temperature alarm features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users carry lithium batteries separately without integrated storage, then the batteries can be accessed quickly, but the USB cables become entangled with other objects and the batteries collide and rub against items causing damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the battery storage bag with the battery itself, creating an integrated assembly where the bag contains the battery along with its charging cable and accessories. This merging eliminates the need for separate storage and prevents cable entanglement and battery damage during transport.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where the battery is placed inside the storage bag, and the charging cable is stored within the same bag. This nested arrangement protects all components from external damage and prevents tangling while maintaining easy accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If the charging cable is left loose and unsecured, then it is easily accessible for charging, but it becomes entangled with other objects and causes the battery to collide and rub against items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides a designated sleeve or compartment within the storage bag where the charging cable can be preliminarily arranged and secured before use. This preliminary organization prevents entanglement during transport while allowing quick access when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a flexible storage bag with a sleeve or compartment that can accommodate the charging cable in a neat, protected manner. The flexible material allows the cable to be stored securely without rigid constraints, preventing damage while maintaining accessibility.
3Ease of manufacture
If the battery is stored in a separate bag without integration, then storage is simple, but users must temporarily find a storage bag and the battery lacks protection during transport
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the storage bag and battery into a single integrated unit, eliminating the need for separate storage solutions. This integration ensures the battery is always protected during transport while maintaining simplicity in the storage approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated battery assembly serves multiple functions: it provides storage for the battery, charging cable, and accessories; it protects the battery from damage; and it offers a portable charging solution. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for multiple separate items.
4Reliability
If the charging interface is not exposed on the bag body, then the battery is fully protected inside, but the charging interface cannot be accessed for charging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the charging interface of the battery on the side of the bag body that faces outward, allowing the interface to be exposed and accessible without requiring the bag to be opened. This preliminary positioning enables charging while the battery remains protected inside the bag.
