Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wiring modules for battery connection plates are difficult to route signal output wires in directions intersecting with the plate surface, limiting flexibility and increasing the risk of wire detachment during transportation and routing.
Innovation Solution
A wiring module with an insulating protector featuring a wire routing section that includes a placement wall with a projecting section and a flexible hinge section, allowing wires to be initially mounted parallel to the surface and easily bent to intersect with it, reducing deflection and detachment risks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If wires are routed only in a direction along the plate surface, then the wiring-module mounting section is simple to manufacture, but it becomes considerably difficult to route signal output wires in directions intersecting with the mounting section
Solution Approach 1:
The wire mounting section is designed with a flexible hinge section that enables it to change orientation from parallel to intersecting with the placement surface. This dynamic adaptability allows the same structure to accommodate different wire routing directions without requiring multiple fixed mounting sections, thus resolving the contradiction between manufacturing simplicity and routing versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a vertical dimension by allowing the wire mounting section to extend in directions intersecting with the placement surface, not just parallel to it. This multi-directional capability enables wires to be routed in intersecting directions while maintaining a simple single-section mounting structure, resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and routing flexibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wires are routed in directions intersecting with the placement surface, then routing flexibility is improved, but the risk of wire detachment during transportation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge section's flexibility parameter is specifically optimized to allow controlled bending for orientation change while maintaining sufficient rigidity when bent to hold wires securely. This parameter optimization enables the structure to provide both routing flexibility and transportation stability, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire mounting section transitions from a static fixed-orientation structure to a dynamic adjustable-orientation structure. When bent, it provides stable wire retention; when unbent, it allows flexible routing. This dynamic behavior resolves the contradiction between routing flexibility and mounting stability.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple wires are routed and mounted, then the wiring module can handle increasing numbers of power storage elements, but the complexity of routing and mounting operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
A single wire mounting section with hinge functionality serves multiple purposes: it can mount multiple wires simultaneously, adjust to different routing directions, and provide stable retention during transportation. This universal structure handles increasing numbers of power storage elements without proportionally increasing operational complexity, resolving the contradiction between quantity capability and operational simplicity.
