Adjustable Battery Cell Transport Frame for Height Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery transporting devices are unable to adjust the height of battery cells in the width direction, making it difficult to accommodate charging or discharging devices with various heights.
Innovation Solution
A battery transporting apparatus with a frame member that supports the battery cell, a frame supporting adjustable member that is adjustable in the width direction, a widthwise mover to facilitate movement of the adjustable member, and a support to stabilize the apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional battery transporting device uses a fixed frame structure, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the device cannot adjust the height in the width direction to accommodate charging or discharging devices with various heights
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed frame structure into an adjustable one. The frame supporting adjustable member includes movable components that allow the frame member to be positioned at different heights in the width direction, enabling the device to adapt to various charging or discharging device heights while maintaining operational stability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the frame structure into multiple adjustable components. The frame supporting adjustable member is divided into a frame member and an adjustable member that can move relative to each other, allowing independent adjustment of height while keeping the overall device structure organized and manageable
2Adaptability or versatility
If the frame member is made adjustable in the width direction, then the device can accommodate various heights of charging or discharging devices, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The frame supporting adjustable member incorporates movable elements that enable dynamic adjustment of the frame member's position in the width direction. This allows the device to adapt to different heights while using a systematic adjustment mechanism rather than a completely redesigned complex structure
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable member serves multiple functions: it supports the frame member, provides height adjustment capability, and maintains structural stability. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving height adaptability
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
Enables the battery cell to be charged or discharged using a single transporting device by adjusting the height in the width direction to match devices of varying heights, improving operational efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
a female thread may be formed at an inner surface of the moving member and a male thread may be formed at an outer surface of the rotary shaft, and the male thread of the rotary shaft may be rotatably coupled to the female thread of the moving member
