Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The incompatibility of power batteries with various electrical apparatuses due to mismatched positions of positive and negative wiring piles restricts their usage and compatibility.
Innovation Solution
A power battery design with symmetrically arranged wiring piles on both sides of the body, allowing 180-degree rotation for interchangeable positive and negative wiring posts, along with distinct bolted caps and threaded connections to prevent incorrect connections, ensures compatibility with different electrical apparatuses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the wiring pile is arranged on one side of the battery body, then the wiring assembly is simple and easy to manufacture, but the power battery is incompatible with electrical apparatuses that require different terminal positions
Solution Approach 1:
The battery body is designed with two groups of wiring piles (first group on first side, second group on second side) that are symmetrically arranged, allowing the same battery to be connected to electrical apparatuses with different terminal position requirements by rotating the battery 180 degrees, thus achieving universal compatibility without requiring different battery models
2Adaptability or versatility
If the positive and negative wiring piles are positioned to match specific apparatuses, then the wiring connection is straightforward, but the power battery cannot be used with apparatuses that have different terminal positions
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of designing different battery models for different terminal positions, the invention inverts the approach by providing multiple wiring pile groups on a single battery body that can be positioned differently through 180-degree rotation, allowing the battery to adapt to various apparatus configurations while maintaining simple wiring connections
3Reliability
If distinct bolted caps are used for positive and negative wiring posts, then wiring errors are prevented, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local differentiation by providing distinct bolted caps (first bolted cap for positive terminal, second bolted cap for negative terminal) with different structures or identifiers at specific locations, enabling easy visual identification and prevention of wiring errors while keeping the overall manufacturing process simple through standardized components

AI summary
The present application discloses a power battery including a body and a wiring assembly including two groups of wiring piles respectively arranged at two sides of the body. The two groups of wiring piles are symmetrically arranged with respect to a central axis of the body, and each of the two groups of wiring piles includes a positive wiring post and a negative wiring post. The power battery can meet the requirements of different electrical apparatuses for positions of positive and negative wiring posts of the wiring pile so that the power battery with the same parameters is compatible with all the electrical apparatuses matched with the parameters, thereby enriching the use mode of the power battery and broadening the compatibility of the power battery.
