Energy Storage Support Structure for Ground Hole Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing energy storage devices face difficulties in precise alignment of assembly holes with ground holes during installation, leading to inefficient assembly processes.
Innovation Solution
The energy storage device design includes a support structure with a first mounting wall having an assembly hole located outside the device body's projection, allowing for staggered hole drilling and alignment after positioning, and optionally incorporating multiple assembly holes and a fixing member for enhanced stability and space efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If assembly holes are drilled in advance in the predetermined mounting area, then the ground holes are prepared for mounting, but the assembly holes of the support structure cannot be aligned precisely with the ground holes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the support structure outward from the device body in the horizontal direction, moving the assembly holes to a different spatial dimension (outside the projection of the device body). This dimensional relocation allows the assembly holes to be positioned where they can align with ground holes drilled in advance, resolving the alignment precision issue while maintaining assembly efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The ground holes are drilled in advance in the predetermined mounting area before the device is mounted. By positioning the assembly holes on the extended mounting wall, the patent enables this preliminary action to be effective, as the extended position provides sufficient space for accurate hole drilling and alignment operations to be performed beforehand
2Ease of manufacture
If the orthographic projection of the first mounting wall is located inside the orthographic projection of the device body, then the structure is compact, but there is insufficient operable space for hole drilling apparatus in the horizontal direction
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting wall is extended outward from the device body in the horizontal direction, relocating the assembly holes to a different spatial dimension. This extension creates sufficient operable space for hole drilling apparatus to access and drill holes accurately, while the extension can be designed to minimize the overall area occupied
3Reliability
If multiple assembly holes are provided on the support structure, then the stability and reliability of mounting are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The extended mounting wall serves multiple functions: it provides operable space for hole drilling, positions assembly holes for accurate alignment, and can accommodate multiple assembly holes for enhanced stability. By making the mounting wall extend outward, a single structural element performs multiple functions that would otherwise require separate components, thereby improving reliability without proportionally increasing complexity
