Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If batteries are stacked into large battery assemblies with traditional multi-side plate arrangements, then electrical connectivity is achieved, but the assembly complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional multi-side plate arrangements to a single-side plate arrangement where all connection plates are positioned on one end of the batteries. This dimensional reorganization simplifies the assembly process by reducing the number of sides that need to be accessed during manufacturing, directly addressing the contradiction between ease of manufacture and assembly complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges multiple connection functions into a single location by positioning all connection plates (positive and negative) on one end of the battery assembly. This consolidation reduces assembly complexity by allowing all electrical connections to be made from a single access point rather than requiring access to multiple sides of each battery.
2Volume of moving object
If traditional battery assembly layouts are used, then electrical connections are established, but the overall assembly size and volume increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reorganizes the battery assembly layout by concentrating all connection plates on a single end rather than distributing them across multiple sides. This dimensional change enables a more compact volume by eliminating the need for lateral extensions and multi-sided access, while maintaining manufacturing efficiency through simplified connection pathways.
3Device complexity
If multiple connection plates are distributed across different sides of batteries, then electrical connectivity is achieved, but the number of components and structural complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the distribution of connection plates from multiple battery sides into a single concentrated location. This consolidation reduces structural complexity by eliminating the need for complex multi-sided mounting structures while maintaining reliable electrical connectivity through optimized conductor pathways that route all connections through the single plate location.
