Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric core connection devices in battery packages are limited to horizontal installation, making them difficult to disassemble and assemble due to space constraints, which complicates the assembly of battery packages.
Innovation Solution
A device for soft-packaged electric core connection and signal acquisition is designed with an insulating body featuring downward-facing insertion grooves, an FPC, and contact elastic plates. This configuration allows for vertical installation and facilitates disassembly and assembly by eliminating space constraints.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the connection device is installed horizontally in the battery package, then the connection function is achieved, but the disassembly and assembly become difficult due to space constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional horizontal installation orientation to a vertical installation orientation. The insulating body is designed with downward-facing insertion grooves that penetrate the left and right sides, enabling the connection device to be installed vertically between battery modules. This inversion resolves the space constraint issue and significantly improves disassembly and assembly convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional horizontal installation to a three-dimensional vertical installation by utilizing the vertical space between battery modules. The insertion grooves are designed to receive electric core connection portions vertically, allowing the device to be installed in the thickness direction of the battery package, thereby eliminating the limitation of horizontal installation only.
2Ease of operation
If the connection device is designed with downward-facing insertion grooves for vertical installation, then disassembly and assembly are simplified, but the structural design becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The insulating body is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides electrical insulation, structural support, and guidance for vertical installation through the downward-facing insertion grooves. The grooves serve both as positioning features and as access paths for inserting electric core connection portions, reducing the need for separate alignment features and simplifying the overall structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The insulating body is designed with thin-walled structures and flexible mounting features that allow it to adapt to the vertical installation configuration. The downward-facing insertion grooves are integrated into the insulating body structure, allowing for easy manufacturing while maintaining the vertical installation capability.
