Solution Overview
Problem
Existing energy storage power supplies face challenges with low dimensional accuracy, high defective rates, poor heat dissipation, and safety issues due to complex assembly processes and errors in cell packing, which affect production efficiency and environmental friendliness.
Innovation Solution
The design includes an energy storage power supply with cell compartments in a honeycomb arrangement, connected by nickel straps for easy assembly, improved heat dissipation through a fan system, and a stable structure that prevents cell separation upon impact, allowing for direct cell plugging and connection in series or parallel, eliminating the need for binding, gluing, and blow-molding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If cells are packed into a battery pack by means of binding, gluing, filling, blow-molding, sealing and decoration, then the battery pack can be assembled, but the dimensional accuracy is low and the defective rate is high
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is divided into multiple cell compartments, each independently formed in the housing. Each compartment precisely accommodates a single cell, dividing the complex assembly into simpler, more controllable units with defined positions and dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The cell compartment integration merges the functions of cell housing, positioning, and structural support into a single unified structure formed directly in the energy storage housing, eliminating separate binding and assembly steps.
2Ease of manufacture
If multiple procedures such as binding, gluing, filling, blow-molding, sealing and decoration are used, then the battery pack can be assembled, but the production efficiency is greatly affected
Solution Approach 1:
The cell compartments are pre-formed in the housing structure before cell insertion. This preliminary formation of precise receptacles eliminates the need for subsequent binding, gluing, and sealing operations, streamlining the manufacturing process.
3Ease of manufacture
If cells are packed into an integrated battery pack, then the power supply can be assembled, but the heat dissipation performance is low
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is segmented into multiple independent cell compartments with spacing between them. This segmentation creates channels for heat dissipation and prevents thermal accumulation, allowing each cell to be cooled independently while maintaining structural integrity.
4Ease of manufacture
If cells are packed into an integrated battery pack, then the power supply can be assembled, but the safety is low
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is divided into multiple independent cell compartments, isolating each cell from the others. This segmentation prevents thermal runaway propagation and improves safety by containing potential failures within individual compartments rather than affecting the entire battery pack.
