Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate conveying lines are used for different bare cell structures, then the production of various battery components can be achieved, but the structure of the conveying logistics line becomes complex and occupies large space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified conveying logistics line that can handle multiple types of bare cells (cylindrical, square, pouch) through a single system. The line uses standardized pallets and conveying mechanisms that can accommodate different cell structures, eliminating the need for separate dedicated lines for each cell type while maintaining the ability to produce various battery components
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate conveying lines are used for different bare cell structures, then the production of various battery components can be achieved, but the space occupied by the conveying logistics line increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate conveying lines into a single integrated logistics line. By combining the functions of conveying different bare cell types into one system, the overall space requirement is reduced while maintaining the capability to handle various cell structures through shared conveying infrastructure
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate conveying lines are used, then different bare cells can be conveyed separately, but the conveying efficiency affects battery production efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The unified conveying logistics line enables continuous operation by maintaining a steady flow of pallets through the system. The line can continuously convey different types of bare cells without the interruptions and coordination delays that would occur between multiple separate lines, thereby improving overall conveying efficiency and battery production efficiency

AI summary
A conveying logistics line and method and a pallet logistics control method are provided. The conveying logistics line includes an unloaded pallet conveying line (5), a first loaded pallet conveying line (3), a second loaded pallet conveying line (4), a merging conveying line (63), a workpiece retrieval station (7), and an electrical control module. The electrical control module is communicatively connected to the unloaded pallet conveying line (5) and configured to control quantities of unloaded pallets (8) conveyed by the unloaded pallet conveying line (5) to each of the first workpiece manufacturing machines (1) and each of the second workpiece manufacturing machines (2), based on real-time quantity information of the loaded pallets (9) on the first loaded pallet conveying line (3) and the second loaded pallet conveying line (4), so as to achieve a stable conveying state within a set operating time of the conveying logistics line, where the stable conveying state includes a real-time quantity of the loaded pallets (9) on the first loaded pallet conveying line (3) and a real-time quantity of the loaded pallets (9) on the second loaded pallet conveying line (4) being within a first set range and a second set range, respectively.
