Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cell wiring modules face issues with dimensional errors between single cells and the module, leading to potential strength loss and insulation deterioration due to inadequate pitch adjustment mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A cell wiring module design featuring sliding units and base plates that absorb dimensional errors, preventing exposure of the connection member and maintaining insulation performance, with features like receivers, engaging projections, and oval-shaped through holes for easy attachment and error correction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a pitch adjustment means is provided only by a configuration of the base plate (slits formed in the base plate), then dimensional errors can be compensated, but the strength of the base plate becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is divided into multiple segments (first base plate and second base plate) that can slide relative to each other. This segmentation allows dimensional error compensation through relative movement while maintaining the overall structural strength, as each segment retains its integrity rather than requiring the entire base plate to be weakened by slits.
Solution Approach 2:
The pitch adjustment mechanism transitions from a static slit configuration to a dynamic sliding mechanism. The first and second base plates can move relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, providing adaptive dimensional error compensation while maintaining structural strength through controlled movement rather than fixed weak points.
2Ease of operation
If the connection member is exposed on the single cell side, then attachment flexibility is improved, but insulation performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The base plates extend in the longitudinal direction (another dimension) to cover the connection member on the single cell side. This dimensional extension provides insulation coverage without interfering with the attachment process, as the extension occurs along the length of the connection member rather than obstructing its connection function.
3Manufacturing precision
If sliding is allowed between the connection member and base plate units, then dimensional errors are absorbed, but structural stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs controlled dynamic sliding between the first and second base plates along the longitudinal direction. This controlled movement allows dimensional error absorption while maintaining structural stability through defined sliding paths and engagement features that prevent excessive or uncontrolled movement.
Solution Approach 2:
Sliding capability is provided locally at the interface between the first and second base plates, while other portions of the structure maintain fixed, stable connections. This localized flexibility allows dimensional error compensation without compromising the overall structural stability of the entire assembly.

AI summary
A cell wiring module includes a first unit holding one side of a connection member in a connection direction on a first base plate that extends along the connection member; and a second unit holding the other side of the connection member in the connection direction on a second base plate that extends along the connection member. Sliding occurs in the connection direction of the connection member between the connection member and at least one of the first unit and the second unit. The first base plate that extends to a second base plate side and the second base plate that extends to a first base plate side extend to such positions that the connection member is not exposed on a single cell side in an area between the first base plate and the second base plate.
