Fuse Board Bent Wiring Pattern Vibration Absorption
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery block designs face issues with fuse wire cutting due to vibration during the welding process and in use, as the wire-bonding process is complex and the fuses are prone to being cut, especially when formed by punching and bending metal plates.
Innovation Solution
A fuse board with a metal plate, connection portions, fuse portions, and insulating resin films, featuring a bent wiring pattern and a suspension portion that can vibrate, is designed to absorb stress and prevent fuse wire cutting, with the resin film protecting the fuse portions and simplifying the manufacturing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If wire-bonding process is used to form fuses, then manufacturing complexity increases and bonding strength becomes weak, but fuse connection to cells is achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the wire-bonding mechanical process with a bracket welding process. Instead of bonding wire to electrode terminals, a metal plate with integrated fuse portions is welded directly to the electrode plate, eliminating the wire-bonding step and its associated complexity while improving bonding strength through direct welding connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the fuse structure with the metal plate by forming fuse portions directly on the metal plate through punching and bending. This integration eliminates separate wire components and bonding steps, simplifying manufacturing while ensuring strong mechanical and electrical connection between the fuse and electrode plate.
2Reliability
If fuse wire is made bulky to prevent cutting, then vibration resistance improves, but ease of manufacture decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces bent portions with curved wiring patterns in the fuse portions instead of straight wires. These bent portions act as vibration absorbers, reducing stress concentration and preventing wire cutting during welding and operation, while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standard punching and bending processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The bent portions are pre-formed in the metal plate during manufacturing to provide vibration absorption and stress relief before the welding process. This beforehand cushioning prevents wire cutting during welding and operation without requiring additional manufacturing steps or bulkier wire designs.
3Ease of manufacture
If punching and bending process is used to form fuse board, then manufacturing is simplified, but fuse wire cutting due to vibration occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates bent portions with curved wiring patterns formed through punching and bending processes. These curved portions absorb vibration and reduce stress on the fuse wire, preventing cutting during welding and operation while maintaining the simplicity of the punching and bending manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the fuse portions by introducing bent portions with specific curvature radii and angles. This parameter modification allows the fuse board to withstand vibration and welding stresses without wire cutting, while still being manufacturable through standard punching and bending processes.
