Integrated Carrier Thread for Battery Storage Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery storage assembly processes for vehicles require additional assembly steps and materials, such as press-in nuts or weld nuts, which are cumbersome and can lead to corrosion and suboptimal rigidity in connections.
Innovation Solution
A battery storage arrangement featuring a carrier with an integral screw-on region that eliminates the need for additional connecting elements by allowing direct screw attachment of the battery storage using a threaded fastener, with the screw-on region being either solid material or reshaped within the carrier for enhanced stability and reduced material usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional assembly means (press-in nuts, weld nuts) are used to attach battery storage to carrier, then reliable connection is achieved, but assembly process complexity increases and additional materials are required
Solution Approach 1:
The screw-on region is merged directly into the carrier as an integral component, eliminating the need for separate connecting elements like press-in nuts or weld nuts. This integration reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly process while maintaining reliable threaded fastening capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and eliminates the unnecessary intermediate connecting elements (press-in nuts, weld nuts) from the assembly process, keeping only the essential screw-on region integrated into the carrier, thereby reducing material requirements and assembly complexity.
2Reliability
If additional connecting elements (press-in nuts, weld nuts) are used, then secure attachment is achieved, but material consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screw-on region is combined with the carrier as a single integral component, eliminating the need for separate connecting elements. This reduces material consumption while maintaining secure attachment capability through the integrated threaded structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention removes unnecessary intermediate connecting elements from the design, retaining only the essential screw-on region that is part of the carrier itself, thereby reducing overall material consumption without compromising attachment security.
3Stability of the object's composition
If additional connecting elements are used, then connection stability is achieved, but assembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the screw-on region directly into the carrier as an integral component, the invention eliminates the need for separate assembly steps to attach connecting elements, thereby reducing assembly time while maintaining connection stability through the integrated threaded structure.
4Ease of operation
If conventional connecting elements (press-in nuts, weld nuts) are used, then screw connection is enabled, but corrosion risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screw-on region is merged into the carrier as a single integral component, eliminating interfaces between different materials that could create galvanic corrosion. This reduces corrosion risk while maintaining screw connection capability through the integrated threaded structure.
