Reusable Battery Tray With Integrated Multi-Parameter Testing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery trays are limited to single-function disposable structures that cannot be recycled or reused, and they lack integrated testing capabilities for current, voltage, pressure, and temperature, leading to inefficient and costly testing processes.
Innovation Solution
A battery tray with a testing connection bar integrating current, voltage, pressure, and temperature collection portions, along with a positioning member for quick battery installation, and a testing system that includes a movable assembly for synchronous testing, allowing for efficient and cost-effective testing of batteries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a battery tray with integrated testing capabilities is designed, then testing efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple testing functions (current, voltage, pressure, temperature) into a single integrated testing connection bar. This merging of multiple testing capabilities into one component allows synchronous testing of all parameters, significantly improving testing efficiency while the integration actually reduces the number of separate components needed
Solution Approach 2:
The testing connection bar is designed as a universal component that can test multiple parameters simultaneously. The positioning member is also designed to accommodate batteries of different sizes and models, making the tray universally applicable. This multi-functionality improves productivity without proportionally increasing complexity
2Device complexity
If a disposable single-function tray structure is used, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of time increases due to inability to recycle and reuse
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the battery tray as a reusable structure that can be recovered and used multiple times. The tray body and testing connection bar are designed to be detachable and reusable, eliminating the need to discard the entire tray after each use. This recovering approach reduces time loss by allowing quick repositioning and reuse of the tray structure
Solution Approach 2:
The tray is segmented into separable components (tray body, testing connection bar, positioning member) that can be independently reused. This segmentation allows the functional components to be recovered and reused across different testing scenarios, reducing time loss while maintaining manageable device complexity
3Loss of time
If synchronous testing of current, voltage, pressure, and temperature is implemented, then testing time is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple testing functions (current, voltage, pressure, temperature) are merged into a single testing connection bar with integrated signal collection portions. This merging enables synchronous testing of all parameters simultaneously, reducing testing time while the integrated design actually reduces the number of separate testing components required
Solution Approach 2:
The testing connection bar serves as a universal interface for multiple testing parameters. By designing one component that handles all testing functions, the system achieves synchronous testing capability without proportionally increasing device complexity
