Accessory Engagement Structure With Internal Locking Rod
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional connection systems for air guns, such as Picatinny rail installations, often result in screws protruding from the main body, leading to issues like screws falling off or getting caught in other objects, and are cumbersome to assemble.
Innovation Solution
An engagement structure comprising a holder, movable fixer, actuation protrusion, connection rod, and adjustment member, which includes a locking chamber and rotatable components to securely attach and detach accessories like sights, flashlights, or tripods, using a connection rod and actuation mechanism for easy engagement and disengagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screws are used for connection, then the connection is secure, but the screws protrude from the main body causing them to fall or get caught in objects
Solution Approach 1:
The connection rod is nested within the holder body, with the rod extending through the holder and being retained by positioning grooves and elastic elements. This nesting arrangement ensures that no external fastening elements protrude from the holder, eliminating the risk of screws falling or getting caught while maintaining secure connection through the internal rod-connector engagement mechanism
2Reliability
If screws are used for connection, then the connection is secure, but it is troublesome to screw the screws with the air gun
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is designed with elastic elements (springs) that provide dynamic engagement and disengagement capability. The connector can be easily inserted and locked into position, and can be quickly released by applying force to overcome the elastic retention, transforming the static screw-fastening process into a dynamic, tool-free operation that is much more convenient for field use
3Reliability
If a complex locking mechanism is used, then the connection is secure, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into distinct functional components: the holder with positioning grooves, the connection rod with threaded sections, and the connector with elastic retention elements. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function simply and effectively, achieving secure connection through the coordinated interaction of simple parts rather than a single complex mechanism

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a secure and efficient method to attach and detach accessories without the risk of screws falling or getting caught, simplifying the assembly process and enhancing usability in survival games and other applications.
Implementation Method 1
a threaded section formed on a second end of the connection rod, a screwing section formed on a first end of the adjustment member, such that the threaded section of the connection rod is screwed with the screwing section of the adjustment member
