Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If conventional single-sided sealing package operation is used for electrode plate pair, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but multiple-sided input/output electric conductive terminals cannot be converted into single input/output electric conductive interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing package operationVSAvoidinput/output interface conversion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a lateral dimension for the input/output interface by extending electric conductive members horizontally from the side of the electrode plate pair, rather than only vertically from the top/bottom. This lateral extension allows multiple-sided terminals to be collected and converted into a single interface point, resolving the contradiction between simple sealing and interface conversion capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses lateral electric conductive members as intermediary elements that connect multiple-sided terminals to a single input/output interface. These conductive members act as mediators that collect electrical connections from multiple sides and consolidate them into one external interface, enabling both simple sealing and versatile interface conversion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If multiple-sided electric conductive terminals are used for electrode plate pair, then energy transfer efficiency and connection flexibility are improved, but the sealing package operation becomes complex and cannot be converted to single interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy transfer efficiencyVSAvoidsealing package structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple-sided electric conductive terminals into a single input/output interface by using lateral electric conductive members that collect and consolidate multiple connection points. This merging maintains the energy transfer efficiency of multiple terminals while simplifying the sealing package structure to a single interface configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

By extending conductive members laterally in the horizontal dimension, the patent enables multiple-sided terminals to be collected and converted into a single interface without increasing vertical sealing complexity. This dimensional approach maintains productivity while reducing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If single-sided terminals with positive and negative polarities are used, then energy transfer to exterior is simplified, but connection flexibility for series, parallel, or series-parallel configurations is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy transfer to exteriorVSAvoidconnection configuration options
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The single input/output interface is designed with universal functionality that can support multiple connection configurations. By using lateral electric conductive members that can be connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel arrangements, the single interface maintains ease of operation while providing adaptability for different connection requirements through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
