Transmission Base Segmented Wall Battery Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When using a tablet computer with a large-capacity battery, the battery's protruding size increases the risk of damage to the keyboard when adjusting the display unit's angle, as both are typically on the same side, leading to potential contact and harm.
Innovation Solution
A transmission base with a fool-proofing mechanism that allows only front-facing assembly of a large-capacity battery with the display unit, featuring bi-directional support and electrical connection, preventing erroneous operations that could crush the keyboard by using a matching structure on one wall portion and a non-electrical connection when the battery is placed on the opposite wall portion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a large-capacity battery is used to increase battery capacity, then the battery volume and thickness increase, but the battery is more likely to protrude and damage the keyboard portion
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission base is divided into functionally distinct first and second wall portions: the first wall portion provides electrical connection through a matching structure, while the second wall portion provides mechanical support without electrical connection. This segmentation allows the battery to be positioned in different orientations, preventing it from damaging the keyboard while maintaining capacity benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission base acts as an intermediary between the display unit and keyboard support unit. By introducing this intermediate structure with dual wall portions, the system enables controlled positioning of the battery, preventing direct contact between the protruding battery and keyboard while maintaining system functionality
2Device complexity
If the keyboard support unit is used for solely supporting the display unit, then the structure is simple, but the large-capacity battery can come into contact with and damage the keyboard portion
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into two distinct wall portions with different functions. The first wall portion includes a matching structure for electrical connection, while the second wall portion provides mechanical support without electrical connection. This segmentation enables fool-proof positioning that prevents keyboard damage while maintaining reasonable structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The first and second wall portions are designed asymmetrically with different structural characteristics. The first wall portion has a matching structure for electrical engagement, while the second wall portion has a different configuration for mechanical support. This asymmetry ensures the battery can only be positioned correctly, preventing keyboard damage
3Reliability
If a matching structure is provided on the first wall portion for electrical connection, then electrical connectivity is enabled, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission base structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: the first wall portion provides both mechanical support and electrical connection through the matching structure, while the second wall portion provides mechanical support without electrical connection. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, balancing connection reliability with structural simplicity

AI summary
The present invention provides a transmission base and an electronic apparatus. The transmission base is for receiving a side portion of a first unit of the electronic apparatus. The first unit includes a first battery. The transmission base includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion. The first wall portion and the second wall portion support the side portion. The first wall portion includes a matching structure, which is matched and assembled with a fitting structure of the first battery. When the matching structure of the first wall portion is matched and assembled with the fitting structure, the first unit is electrically connected to the transmission base; when the second wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the first unit is non-electrically connected to the transmission base.
