Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional large-area electrode connections are used, then connection stability is improved, but device volume increases and portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode connection structure is segmented into multiple small-area contact points distributed across the electrode surface, rather than using a single large-area connection. This segmentation maintains electrical connectivity while significantly reducing the overall contact area and device volume, enabling portability without sacrificing connection stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structure transitions from uniform large-area contact to localized small-area contact points with optimized conductivity. The conductive glue is precisely applied at specific local positions to ensure adequate electrical connection while minimizing the total contact area, thus reducing device volume while maintaining connection reliability.
2Reliability
If precision glue dispensing is performed at the connection surface, then connection stability is improved, but manufacturing complexity and risk of contamination increase
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive glue is pre-filled into dedicated glue injection holes that are formed during electrode manufacturing, rather than requiring precision dispensing during assembly. This preliminary preparation of glue reservoirs simplifies the manufacturing process, eliminates the need for complex precision dispensing equipment, and prevents contamination by containing the glue within defined holes.
Solution Approach 2:
The glue injection holes serve as intermediary structures that facilitate the connection between electrodes. These pre-formed holes act as conduits for the conductive glue, eliminating the need for direct precision application on the connection surface and thereby reducing manufacturing complexity while ensuring stable electrical connection.
3Reliability
If conductive sheet is locked and fixed during assembly, then connection stability is improved, but risk of sliding and contamination during the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive glue is pre-filled into the injection holes before the conductive sheet is positioned and locked. This preliminary placement of the bonding agent ensures that the conductive sheet remains in place during the locking process without sliding, thereby preventing contamination of the effective electrolytic area while achieving stable connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The pre-filled conductive glue in the injection holes acts as a cushioning element that prevents the conductive sheet from sliding during the locking and fixing process. This beforehand preparation eliminates the harmful effect of contamination by ensuring the sheet remains stationary throughout assembly.
