Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If ultrasonic vibration is applied to the battery, then crystallization is reduced and electron flow is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery performanceVSAvoidmounting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the ultrasonic vibrating motor, shock-absorbing parts, and battery fixture part into an integrated battery-mounting device. The ultrasonic vibrating motor is installed at the bottom surface of the battery holder, which itself is mounted on the base with shock-absorbing parts, creating a unified system that prevents crystallization while managing vibrations and securing the battery simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies ultrasonic vibration through the ultrasonic vibrating motor to prevent lead sulfate crystal formation in lead acid batteries and lithium ion blockage in lithium batteries. The high-frequency ultrasonic vibration causes battery fluid or particles to move in high frequency, reducing crystallization and blockage without changing the internal structure of the battery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration

2Object-affected harmful factors

If shock-absorbing parts are added to reduce vibrational transfer, then the base is protected from vibration, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibrational transfer to baseVSAvoidmounting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates shock-absorbing parts between the battery holder and the base to reduce vibrational transfer before the vibrations reach the base. This beforehand cushioning approach protects the base from harmful vibrations while integrating the shock absorption function into the existing mounting structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the battery is securely fixed on the holder, then operational stability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery position stabilityVSAvoidmounting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the battery fixture part directly onto the battery holder, creating a unified mounting structure that secures the battery firmly. The fixture part works in conjunction with the holder and ultrasonic motor assembly to provide stable battery positioning as part of the overall integrated device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

An ultrasonic battery-mounting device, having a battery holder, a base, shock-absorbing parts, an ultrasonic vibrating motor installed at a bottom surface of the battery holder to achieve high frequency ultrasonic vibration of the battery holder, and a battery fixture part provided on the battery holder. The battery holder is provided on the base, and the shock-absorbing parts are installed between the battery holder and the base to reduce vibrational transfer from the battery holder to the base. The ultrasonic vibrating motor produces ultrasonic vibration in high frequency, causing battery fluid or particles in the battery to move in high frequency to reduce the problems of internal crystallization and blockage due the formed crystals, or poor flow of electrons due to low external temperature, thereby maintaining the battery in a well-functioning condition without changing the internal structure of the battery.
