Detachable Bicycle Battery Mount for Reliable Switch Power
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bicycle components with electrical switches rely on external power supplies, which can be inconvenient and may not provide reliable power, and the integration of rechargeable power sources is often cumbersome and difficult to maintain.
Innovation Solution
A bicycle component featuring a rechargeable power source that can be charged externally and detachably attached, with an electrical switch activated by this power source, and a holding structure for secure attachment, along with features like a power source cover and electrical terminal structure for easy coupling and removal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rechargeable power source is integrated into the bicycle component, then power supply reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power source is divided into a rechargeable battery unit and a separate holding structure. The battery can be independently removed and recharged externally, while the holding structure remains integrated with the bicycle component. This segmentation reduces the complexity of the main device while maintaining reliable power supply through the detachable rechargeable unit.
2Ease of repair
If the rechargeable power source is detachably attached, then ease of maintenance is improved, but connection reliability may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The rechargeable power source is extracted as a separate, detachable component from the main bicycle component. This allows the battery to be easily removed for recharging or replacement without disassembling the entire device, significantly improving maintenance ease while the holding structure ensures reliable reconnection.
3Ease of operation
If an electrical terminal structure is added for electrical coupling, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical terminal structure is merged with the holding structure, so that the same component that physically holds the rechargeable power source also provides the electrical connection. This integration allows the battery to be easily inserted and removed while automatically establishing or breaking the electrical circuit, improving ease of operation without requiring separate connection mechanisms.
