Swimming Pool Robot Battery Layout to Prevent Reverse Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing battery installation structure for swimming pool robots is inconvenient for disassembly and maintenance, has high production costs, and is prone to incorrect connection of battery terminals due to centralized tunnel positioning.
Innovation Solution
A detachable battery installation structure with a base, control module, and battery, where the battery is mounted on a protruding member with an accommodating groove, and the tunnel is positioned off-center to prevent reverse connections, using waterproof sealing rings for protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the control module and battery are fixedly mounted in a base, then the installation structure is stable, but it is inconvenient to disassemble and maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the installation structure into separable modules: the base, the control module, and the battery are designed as independent components that can be detached from each other. The control module and battery are both detachably mounted in the base, allowing them to be easily removed for maintenance or replacement while maintaining a stable installed state during operation.
2Device complexity
If the tunnel is located at a central position of the battery, then the structure is simple, but reversely connecting the positive and negative terminals is easily made
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the tunnel (interface connector) at one side of the middle line of the battery rather than at the center, creating an asymmetric layout. This asymmetric positioning, combined with the corresponding interface connector position on the control module, provides visual and structural guidance that prevents reverse connection of the positive and negative terminals, thereby improving connection accuracy while maintaining structural simplicity.
3Ease of repair
If the control module and battery are detachably mounted, then disassembly and maintenance are convenient, but the installation structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements detachable mounting for both the control module and battery in the base, allowing them to be easily removed for maintenance. The detachable mounting structure uses simple mounting portions and mounting troughs with basic fastening mechanisms, which achieve the maintenance convenience goal without introducing excessive structural complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy installation and removal, reduces production costs, and enhances safety by preventing reverse connections between the control module and battery terminals, improving usage security and service life.
Implementation Method 1
a first waterproof sealing ring is arranged around the tunnel; a second waterproof sealing ring is arranged around the interface connector
