Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual connection method is used to connect battery to charge and discharge device, then flexibility to handle various battery models is maintained, but testing efficiency is reduced and operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The battery tray serves as an intermediary device between the battery and the charge and discharge device. It includes a connection terminal that automatically electrically connects to the battery's test end, eliminating the need for manual wire connections. The tray body supports the battery in a fixed position, and the connection terminal on the tray body interfaces with the charge and discharge device, thus mediating the connection process and improving testing efficiency while reducing operation complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The battery tray enables self-service connection by automatically positioning and electrically connecting the battery to the test system. When the battery is placed on the tray body, the connection terminal automatically makes electrical contact with the battery's test end, and the anti-contact portions automatically prevent short circuits, eliminating the need for manual intervention in the connection process
2Productivity
If automated connection is implemented using battery tray with connection terminal, then testing efficiency is improved and operation is simplified, but risk of short circuits increases without protective measures
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-contact portions are designed to protrude beyond the connection terminal in a predetermined direction. These anti-contact portions create preliminary protection by physically blocking potential contact between the connection terminal and any conductive objects that might cause short circuits. The anti-contact portions extend in a direction that intersects with the plane formed by the length direction of the test connection bar and the thickness direction of the tray body, ensuring they are positioned to intercept potential harmful contacts before they can reach the connection terminal

AI summary
This application relates to a battery tray, a battery testing module, a battery testing system and a battery production system. During the testing process, the battery is placed on a tray body and electrically connected to a connection terminal, so that the test end of the battery can be transferred to a test connection bar. When being connected to the charge and discharge device, only the connection terminal of the test connection bar needs to be connected in a contact manner to achieve electrical connection between the battery and the charge and discharge device.
