Solution Overview

Problem

Existing detachable battery structures for portable electronic devices, such as cameras, face challenges in safely removing non-rigid battery packs without causing damage, as they often result in bending stress during detachment.

Innovation Solution

A detachable battery structure featuring a wrapping material with a slit and a housing bonded to the wrapping in a specific area, allowing the battery to be removed without bending stress by pulling up a picking portion, which is designed to minimize the bonded area and facilitate easy replacement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the battery is completely bonded to the housing for secure attachment, then the reliability of battery attachment is improved, but the ease of operation for battery removal deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery attachment reliabilityVSAvoidbattery removal ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding between housing and wrapping is divided into two distinct regions: a first bonding region with strong adhesive force for secure attachment, and a second bonding region with weak adhesive force for easy removal. This segmentation allows the battery to be firmly held during use while enabling simple detachment when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different adhesive properties are applied to different regions of the wrapping. The first region (opposite the slit) has strong bonding characteristics while the second region (near the slit) has weak bonding characteristics. This local differentiation enables both secure attachment and easy removal operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the battery is completely bonded to the housing for secure attachment, then the reliability of battery attachment is improved, but the battery may be damaged during removal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery attachment reliabilityVSAvoidbending stress damage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding area is segmented into strong and weak bonding regions, allowing the battery to be securely attached during use while enabling damage-free removal by peeling from the weak bonding region first.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The slit is pre-formed in the wrapping at a location that corresponds to the weak bonding region. This preliminary structural preparation allows the peeling process to start from the correct location, preventing bending stress and damage to the battery during removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the wrapping is made thin for flexibility, then the ease of operation for battery removal is improved, but the wrapping strength deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery removal easeVSAvoidwrapping strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The wrapping exhibits different thickness characteristics at different locations: it is thinner at the slit formation position to facilitate easy tearing and removal, while maintaining sufficient thickness in other areas to provide adequate structural strength and protection for the battery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
