Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If battery transfer trays are vertically stacked to improve space utilization, then stacking stability is improved, but thin-plate components may adhere or deform between trays
Solution Approach 1:
A buffer member is introduced as an intermediary element between the support portion of one tray and the thin-plate components of the tray below. This buffer member prevents direct contact between the support portion and the thin-plate components, thereby eliminating adhesion and deformation while maintaining stacking stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The buffer member is positioned in advance between the support portion and the thin-plate components to provide protective cushioning. This preemptive measure ensures that when trays are stacked, the thin-plate components are already protected from potential adhesion and deformation forces.
2Reliability
If support portions are added to accommodate thin-plate components, then component protection is improved, but tray structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion is divided into multiple segments: a main support portion and an extended support portion. This segmentation allows the structure to provide targeted protection for thin-plate components while maintaining overall structural simplicity and ease of manufacturing.
Solution Approach 2:
The extended support portion is specifically positioned at the location where thin-plate components are most vulnerable. This local enhancement provides targeted protection without requiring complex structural modifications throughout the entire tray.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If protrusion portions are used to maintain spacing between stacked trays, then prevention of component adhesion is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusion portion is designed with a curved or rounded shape rather than sharp edges. This curvature simplifies the molding process and reduces manufacturing complexity while effectively maintaining the necessary spacing between stacked trays to prevent component adhesion.

AI summary
A battery transfer tray that is stackable in a direction perpendicular to a plane and configured to accommodate batteries is provided. The battery transfer tray includes: a main body plate extending along the plane; an accommodation recess formed downwardly in the direction and including a site portion configured to accommodate a tab of a battery cell; a support portion in a lower surface of the accommodation recess and having a stepped shape; and an protrusion portion on an outer lower end portion of the support portion.
