Solution Overview

Problem

Existing emergency starting power supplies for vehicles suffer from mounting instability and poor reliability of the power source, circuit board, and output terminals, leading to a relatively low lifespan.

Innovation Solution

The emergency starting power supply includes a shell with a first accommodating space and a first mounting part, where the power source and circuit board are housed and electrically connected to the output terminal, which is securely mounted in a second accommodating space, enhancing stability and reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the power source, circuit board, and output terminal are loosely mounted in the shell, then the device complexity is reduced, but the mounting stability and reliability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stability and reliabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board is nested within the first accommodating space of the shell, and the output terminal is nested within the second accommodating space of the first mounting part. This nesting arrangement provides stable mounting while maintaining a compact and relatively simple overall structure, as components are housed within existing structural spaces rather than requiring separate mounting mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a first mounting part with a second accommodating space specifically for the output terminal, separating it from the main first accommodating space. This dimensional organization improves reliability by providing dedicated mounting locations while keeping the structural complexity manageable through systematic spatial arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Duration of action of stationary object

If the power source, circuit board, and output terminal are securely housed in accommodating spaces, then the mounting stability and reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovelifespanVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Components are nested within accommodating spaces that are integral parts of the shell structure. The first accommodating space houses the power source and circuit board, while the second accommodating space houses the output terminal. This approach extends lifespan through stable mounting while avoiding excessive complexity by utilizing the shell's inherent structural capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The accommodating space is segmented into a first accommodating space for power-related components and a second accommodating space for the output terminal. This segmentation improves reliability by isolating components and reducing interference, while the modular nature of the segmentation keeps the overall structure manageable and not overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
