Battery Wiring Module Identical Covers Simplify Parts Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of parts control in battery wiring modules increases with larger secondary batteries due to non-integrated covers, which complicates assembly and management as the number of covers grows.
Innovation Solution
A battery wiring module design where all covers have identical shapes, allowing for simplified parts control by ensuring identical engagement and orientation markings, facilitating easier assembly and reducing the complexity of managing multiple covers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If covers are made as separate components from case bodies, then flexibility in design is improved, but parts control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing all covers with identical shapes and structures, making each cover a universal part that can be used across different case bodies. This standardization reduces parts control complexity while maintaining design flexibility, as the same cover design can be reused throughout the battery wiring module regardless of the specific case body configuration
2Quantity of substance
If the number of case bodies increases to accommodate larger secondary batteries, then battery capacity is improved, but the number of covers increases making parts control more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
By making all covers identical in shape and structure, the patent enables universal reuse of the same cover component across multiple case bodies. This means that even as the number of case bodies increases to accommodate larger batteries, the parts control system only needs to manage one type of cover design rather than multiple different cover types, thereby preventing parts control complexity from increasing proportionally with battery capacity
3Reliability
If different shaped covers are used for different case bodies, then specific functional requirements are met, but parts control becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies homogeneity by making all covers identical in shape, structure, and material properties. This standardization simplifies parts control by treating all covers as the same part type, while the covers are still designed to meet functional requirements through their universal engagement features with case bodies and protective functions for wire inserting portions
