Battery Testing Apparatus with Segmented Door Sealing for Fire Safety
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery testing apparatuses lack sufficient safety measures, particularly in extreme conditions, leading to increased risks of safety accidents due to inadequate fire extinguishing and structural weaknesses.
Innovation Solution
A testing apparatus with a movable door body that seals the opening, forming a pool-shaped structure to fully submerge the battery in fire extinguishing liquid, and includes additional door bodies, fastening and restraint members to enhance structural strength and sealing, along with a fire extinguishing system and gas discharge mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the opening is left open for battery access, then ease of operation is improved, but structural strength and safety deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The door body is divided into a first door body and a second door body that can move independently relative to the opening. The first door body blocks part of the opening while the second door body seals it completely, allowing segmented control for different operational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The door bodies are designed to be movable relative to the opening, transitioning between open and closed states. This dynamic structure allows the opening to be accessible when needed while providing complete sealing when safety is prioritized.
2Strength
If the first door body blocks part of the opening, then structural strength is improved, but sealing performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The door body is segmented into two functional parts: the first door body for partial blocking and structural reinforcement, and the second door body for complete sealing. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in its primary function without compromise.
Solution Approach 2:
The first door body and second door body work together as a combined system. The first door body provides structural support by blocking part of the opening, while the second door body complements it by providing the sealing function, achieving both strength and reliability.
3Reliability
If the opening is completely sealed, then safety is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The door system is segmented into two independently controllable door bodies, allowing operators to choose partial blocking for routine access or complete sealing for safety-critical operations, providing flexible control over the trade-off between safety and accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic design allows the door bodies to transition between different states (open, partially closed, fully closed) based on operational requirements, enabling the system to adapt between ease of operation and safety as needed.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a testing apparatus, configured to test a battery and including a test body and a first door body. The test body may include an accommodating cavity for accommodating the battery, and an opening. The opening may communicate with the accommodating cavity, and the first door body may be connected to the opening and capable of moving relative to the opening. The first door body may have a first state and a second state; in the first state, the first door body may block a part of the opening; and in the second state, the first door body may seal the opening.
