Energy Storage Box Support Structure Against Case Deformation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing energy storage cases suffer from poor structural strength, leading to deformation when the energy storage unit is mounted, which affects the service life of the case.
Innovation Solution
The energy storage case design includes a mounting post supported between a mounting beam and a plate-shaped bottom wall, with ends fixedly connected to both, enhancing structural strength and reducing deformation risk.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the energy storage unit is mounted on the mounting frame in the existing energy storage case, then the energy storage unit can be installed and operated, but the case body is likely to deform due to poor structural strength
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mounting support system into distinct components: mounting beams (first support components) and mounting posts (second support components). The mounting beams are fixed to the case body, while the mounting posts connect the mounting beams to each other, creating a segmented support structure that distributes mechanical loads and prevents case deformation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension to the support structure by positioning mounting beams at the top of the mounting space and mounting posts extending vertically to connect mounting beams. This three-dimensional arrangement provides superior structural support compared to traditional flat mounting surfaces, effectively preventing case body deformation.
2Ease of operation
If traditional mounting structures are used, then assembly can be performed, but the case body deforms under the weight of mounted components
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting beams are pre-fixed to the case body before mounting the energy storage units. This preliminary action creates a stable support framework that prevents case deformation during subsequent assembly operations, ensuring structural stability throughout the assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure combines different structural elements (mounting beams and mounting posts) to create a composite support system. This composite structure integrates the strengths of different components to provide both ease of assembly and superior structural stability, preventing case body deformation.
