Harness Isolation Plate Suction Assembly for Damage-Free Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional assembly methods for harness isolation plates in battery packs result in damage due to the low strength of components, leading to reduced quality and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A suction tool with a first bracket and suction assembly is used to adsorb the harness isolation plate, avoiding low-strength regions and distributing the lifting force across higher-strength areas, such as palladium sheets, to prevent damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a robotic arm grabs the harness isolation plate for assembly, then the assembly process can be automated, but the components within the harness isolation plate are damaged due to concentrated force
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical grabbing method with a suction-based adsorption system. The suction assembly uses negative pressure to hold the harness isolation plate, eliminating the concentrated mechanical force that caused component damage while maintaining automated assembly capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs pneumatic suction through the suction assembly to adsorb the harness isolation plate. This pneumatic method distributes the holding force across the plate's surface rather than concentrating it at grab points, preventing damage to weak components during automated handling.
2Productivity
If traditional grabbing method is used to assemble harness isolation plate, then assembly speed can be maintained, but damage occurs to harness and other low-strength components
Solution Approach 1:
The suction assembly replaces mechanical grabbing with pneumatic adsorption, distributing force across the harness isolation plate surface. This prevents damage to harness and other low-strength components while maintaining automated assembly speed and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the force application parameter from concentrated mechanical grabbing to distributed pneumatic suction. This parameter change allows the same assembly operation to be performed without damaging components, improving assembly quality while maintaining productivity.
