Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices with screw-secured batteries face increased production costs, longer manufacturing times, and risk of battery separation during use, such as repetitive dropping.

Innovation Solution

The use of a hook joining part integrated into the electronic device body, coupled with a hook member around the battery member, forms a stable interactive hook combination for secure attachment, reducing processing steps and fabrication time while lowering material costs and preventing battery separation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a screw is used to secure the battery, then the battery can be firmly fixed, but the product cost increases and the manufacturing time becomes longer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery fixation stabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the screw and mounting part from the battery fixation system, extracting only the essential function of securing the battery. The hook joining part integrated into the battery member engages directly with the electronic device body without requiring separate fastening components, thereby eliminating unnecessary elements while maintaining fixation reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the battery securing function into the battery member itself by integrating a hook joining part. This combines the battery holder and fastening mechanism into a single unified structure, eliminating the need for separate screws and mounting parts, thus reducing both cost and manufacturing complexity while maintaining secure fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If a screw and mounting part are used to secure the battery, then the battery can be firmly fixed, but the number of processing steps increases and fabrication time becomes longer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery fixation stabilityVSAvoidnumber of processing steps
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the mounting part from the fixation system, keeping only the essential battery member with an integrated hook joining part. This eliminates the need for separate mounting components and reduces the number of assembly steps while maintaining secure battery fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the battery member and fastening mechanism into a single integrated structure. The hook joining part is formed as part of the battery member itself, merging multiple functions (battery holding and secure fixation) into one component, thereby reducing device complexity and processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If a screw is used to secure the battery, then the battery can be firmly fixed, but the cost of component materials increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery fixation stabilityVSAvoidmaterial cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the mounting part and screw from the fixation system, extracting only the essential battery member with an integrated hook joining part. This elimination of unnecessary components directly reduces material cost while maintaining secure battery fixation through the simplified hook structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the battery member and fastening function into a single component, eliminating the need for separate mounting parts and screws. This consolidation reduces the total quantity of materials required and lowers component material costs while maintaining reliable battery fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Reliability

If a screw and mounting part are used to secure the battery, then the battery can be firmly fixed, but the fabrication time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery fixation stabilityVSAvoidfabrication time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the mounting part from the assembly process, leaving only the battery member with an integrated hook joining part. This simplification eliminates time-consuming assembly steps for separate mounting components while maintaining secure battery fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the battery member and fastening mechanism into a single integrated component, merging multiple assembly operations into one. This reduces the number of processing steps and fabrication time while ensuring reliable battery fixation through the integrated hook joining part.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
