Electric Vehicle Battery Lifting Device for Detachable Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric vehicles require complex and costly processes for battery detachment and reinstallation, making it difficult for users to conveniently remove and replace batteries, which increases operational costs and safety hazards.
Innovation Solution
An electric vehicle design featuring a detachable power battery module with rolling wheels, a lifting device, and a flexible cable for easy manual handling, allowing users to detach and reattach batteries without additional equipment, utilizing an electric or manual driving mechanism for the lifting device and incorporating a charge control circuit and voltage adjustment for versatile power output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If detachable battery installation structures are adopted, then battery can be removed and moved separately, but the detachment and installation process becomes complex and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The battery system is segmented into a detachable battery pack and a vehicle platform. The battery pack includes independent components (battery module, handle, rolling wheels, lifting device) that can be separately assembled and disassembled, enabling simple detachment without complex tools or procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack is equipped with self-contained functionality including integrated lifting devices and rolling wheels that enable users to independently detach, transport, and reinstall the battery pack without requiring external equipment or specialized personnel.
2Ease of operation
If special equipment is used for battery detachment, then battery can be removed, but the cost of use increases
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack incorporates self-service features including integrated lifting mechanisms and rolling wheels that eliminate the need for external cranes, forklifts, or specialized installation equipment, thereby reducing operational costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack design with universal handling features (rolling wheels, lifting devices, standardized interfaces) can be operated by ordinary users without specialized equipment, making the system universally applicable and cost-effective for various users.
3Reliability
If fixed installation structures are adopted, then battery stability is ensured, but the entire vehicle must be involved during charging or maintaining operations
Solution Approach 1:
The battery system is divided into a detachable battery pack that can be independently removed from the vehicle, allowing charging and maintenance operations to be performed on the battery pack alone rather than requiring the entire vehicle to be involved.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery installation structure transitions from fixed to dynamic/detachable, allowing the battery pack to be securely installed during operation (ensuring stability) and easily detached for charging or maintenance (enabling operational flexibility).
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to conveniently detach and reattach batteries without excessive effort, reducing installation complexity and operational costs, while allowing the battery module to function as a transportation tool and improving vehicle viability through self-movement and easy replacement.
Implementation Method 1
a lifting device installed at and carried by the electric vehicle, and configured to releasably hold the power battery module and lift the power battery module from a ground proximity position on or near the ground to the predetermined installation position
Implementation Method 2
rolling wheels, installed at the housing; the height of the ground proximity position is low enough for the user to push the power battery module to the ground proximity position via the rolling wheels
