Wire-Bundle Receiving Bracket Buckling Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The improper installation and fixation of sampling wire-bundles in battery modules lead to abnormal abrasion, electric leakage, and short circuits, posing safety risks and reducing the reliability of the battery module due to existing installation methods being inconvenient or prone to detachment.
Innovation Solution
A battery module design featuring a wire-bundle receiving bracket with a clasp part and a wire-bundle receiving slot, where the clasp part includes a cover plate with a curved portion and a buckling portion, allowing secure and reliable fixation of the wire-bundle through a buckling mechanism, preventing detachment and enhancing installation convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If strapping method is used to install wire-bundle, then installation is simple, but operation is inconvenient and productivity is lower
Solution Approach 1:
The wire-bundle receiving bracket is designed with a self-fixing mechanism where the clasp part automatically secures the wire-bundle through elastic deformation and buckling engagement, eliminating the need for manual strapping operations and enabling faster installation without compromising fixation reliability
2Ease of operation
If snap-in method is used to install wire-bundle, then operation is convenient, but wire-bundle may detach due to opening in wire slot reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The clasp part is designed with elastic properties allowing it to dynamically adapt during installation - deforming to accommodate the wire-bundle during insertion, then automatically locking through buckling engagement to provide secure, reliable fixation that prevents detachment while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The buckling portion acts as an intermediary locking mechanism between the clasp part and wire-bundle, creating a positive engagement that secures the wire-bundle in place while allowing for controlled installation, thus resolving the conflict between operational convenience and fixation reliability
3Ease of operation
If wire-bundle is improperly fixed, then installation may be easier, but abnormal abrasion and electric leakage occur reducing safety
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket design with elastic clasp part and buckling mechanism provides self-adjusting secure fixation that automatically ensures proper wire-bundle positioning and protection, preventing abrasion and electric leakage while maintaining straightforward installation through the self-fixing mechanism
