Battery Storage Sidewall Support Elastic Fixation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery storing devices fail to adequately fix batteries of different sizes, leading to performance deterioration due to vibrations and impacts, and complicate battery exchange processes, as they rely solely on coil springs for fixation and do not account for size variations across manufacturers.
Innovation Solution
A battery storing device with a sidewall support section that uses elastic materials to absorb size differences and securely fix batteries, featuring a battery support system with sidewall support members that apply a repulsive force to maintain battery stability and facilitate easy exchange.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a shock absorbing material conforming to a specific battery size is installed, then batteries of that size are sufficiently fixed to attenuate vibrations or impacts, but batteries of different sizes cannot be stored or require large insertion forces
Solution Approach 1:
The battery storing device is divided into multiple storage spaces, each equipped with independent coil springs and shock absorbing materials sized for specific battery dimensions. This segmentation allows each compartment to be optimized for a particular battery size while maintaining overall system versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates multiple types of shock absorbing materials (foam material, elastic bodies, cushioning members) that can accommodate different battery sizes within the same storing device, making it universal for storing various standard-sized batteries while maintaining secure fixation for each type.
2Ease of manufacture
If a standard size battery storing device is designed, then it can store batteries according to the standard, but it cannot accommodate size variations among different manufacturers
Solution Approach 1:
Different storage spaces within the device are designed with locally optimized characteristics - each space has coil springs and shock absorbing materials configured for specific battery size ranges. This allows the overall device to meet standard dimensions while accommodating manufacturer variations through localized adaptations in each compartment.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device effectively prevents performance deterioration of batteries by stabilizing them against vibrations and impacts, allowing for easy battery exchange by accommodating batteries of varying sizes within standard dimensions.
Implementation Method 1
a shock absorbing material (for example, a silicon-based elastic body) conforming to a size of the battery stored in the battery storing device is installed in the battery storing device
Implementation Method 2
the battery is pressed by the coil spring

AI summary
A battery storing device may include: a case member having a positive terminal and a negative terminal and configured to store a battery therein; a positive pole coil spring in contact with a positive electrode of the battery; a negative pole coil spring in contact with a negative electrode of the battery; and a first support comprising a sidewall support section having an elastic force that is able to fix the battery while absorbing a size difference of the battery allowed according to a standard, and configured to support a sidewall of the battery.
