Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conductive clamp is used to connect to storage battery electrodes, then electrical connection is achieved, but large clamping force is exerted and manual holding is required causing safety accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical clamping system with a magnetic field-based system. The conductive terminal incorporates a magnetic member that generates magnetic attraction force to hold the terminal on the electrode, eliminating the need for mechanical clamping force and manual holding, thereby improving safety while maintaining connection reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameter of holding force from mechanical contact force to magnetic field force. By utilizing magnetic field strength as the holding parameter, the system achieves secure connection without the large clamping forces required by mechanical clamps, reducing safety risks while improving ease of operation
2Reliability
If manual clamping is used to establish connection, then connection is established, but safety accidents occur due to large clamping force
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes the harmful mechanical clamping force with a magnetic field-based holding mechanism. The magnetic member in the conductive terminal generates magnetic attraction that securely holds the terminal on the electrode without requiring large external clamping forces, thereby maintaining connection stability while eliminating safety hazards
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a magnetic field as an intermediary between the conductive terminal and the electrode. This magnetic field acts as a mediator that provides the necessary holding force for stable connection without requiring direct mechanical clamping, thus eliminating the harmful effects of large clamping forces while maintaining reliable connection
