Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a soft blister bracket material is used to control costs, then material cost is reduced, but positioning accuracy and rigidity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into two separate brackets: a first bracket for installing electrical components and a second bracket for positioning relative to the battery cell. This segmentation allows each bracket to be optimized for its specific function, with the second bracket providing rigid positioning while the first bracket supports electrical components.
Solution Approach 2:
The first bracket and second bracket are connected together to form an integrated CCS bracket assembly. This merging combines the cost-effective first bracket with the rigid positioning second bracket, achieving both cost control and positioning accuracy simultaneously.
2Quantity of substance
If a soft blister bracket material is used to control costs, then material cost is reduced, but rigidity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket system is segmented into two functional parts: the first bracket made of cost-effective material for electrical component installation, and the second bracket providing rigid structural support for positioning. This segmentation allows rigidity requirements to be met without using expensive materials throughout the entire bracket.
Solution Approach 2:
By connecting the first and second brackets together, the system merges the cost advantages of the first bracket with the rigidity advantages of the second bracket, achieving both cost control and sufficient rigidity in the overall assembly.
3Manufacturing precision
If positioning structure is added to improve positioning accuracy, then installation precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning function is segmented into a dedicated second bracket with positioning structures, separated from the first bracket that handles electrical components. This segmentation allows positioning accuracy to be achieved through the specialized second bracket without complicating the overall system design.
Solution Approach 2:
The second bracket serves multiple functions: it provides positioning structures for accurate positioning relative to the battery cell, connects to the first bracket for structural support, and maintains overall assembly rigidity. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components.
