Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the power battery is directly placed in the transport box without temperature control, then the transport box structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the temperature inside the box cannot be controlled, leading to power loss and shortened battery life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery lifeVSAvoidtransport box structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the transport box with temperature control functions by integrating a heating device and a heat dissipating device into the box structure. The heating device is circumferentially connected to the side wall of the cavity, and the heat dissipating device is connected to the upper cover or box body shell, merging storage and thermal management into a single integrated system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The transport box is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only stores the power battery but also actively controls the temperature environment through heating and heat dissipation capabilities. This multi-functional design allows the box to adapt to different temperature conditions and maintain optimal storage environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility
