Air Gun Magazine Ejector with Elastic Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional air gun magazine ejector structures face issues with external appearance damage and operational malfunctions due to exposed magazine bodies and gaps that allow foreign matter infiltration, leading to potential malfunctions and foreign matter accumulation.
Innovation Solution
The air gun magazine ejector structure allows complete insertion of the magazine into the air gun body, eliminating external exposure and utilizing an elastic member to eject the magazine without a large gap, minimizing foreign matter infiltration and operational malfunctions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the magazine body is exposed from the air gun body, then the magazine can be easily ejected, but the external appearance is detrimentally affected and foreign bodies may infiltrate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (ejection button connected to elastic member) that enables magazine ejection without requiring the magazine body to be exposed. The elastic member stores energy when the magazine is inserted and releases it when the ejection button is pressed, providing ejection force through a controlled mechanism rather than direct exposure.
Solution Approach 2:
The magazine is completely nested within the air gun body's magazine holding section, with only the ejection button exposed on the external surface. This nesting arrangement eliminates the need for the magazine body to protrude while maintaining the ability to eject it through the nested ejection mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If a gap is provided between the magazine holding section and magazine body, then the magazine can drop under its own weight, but foreign matter can infiltrate and cause operational malfunctions
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic member acts as an intermediary that provides the necessary ejection force, eliminating the need for a gap between the magazine holding section and magazine body. The elastic member is compressed during magazine insertion and releases stored energy to eject the magazine when triggered, providing a reliable gap-free interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member is pre-compressed during magazine insertion, storing potential energy in advance. This preliminary action ensures that when ejection is needed, the stored energy is immediately released to eject the magazine, eliminating the need for gravitational drop mechanisms that require gaps.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the magazine is completely inserted into the magazine holding section, then the external appearance is improved, but the magazine needs a larger gap for ejection which increases foreign matter infiltration risk
Solution Approach 1:
The ejection button serves as an external intermediary that transmits user input to the internal elastic member mechanism. This allows the magazine to be completely inserted while maintaining ejection capability through a separate control interface, avoiding the need for exposed magazine portions or large gaps.
Solution Approach 2:
The ejection function is extracted from the magazine body itself and implemented through a separate button mechanism on the air gun body. This separation allows the magazine to be fully inserted while the ejection action is performed through an independent control element, eliminating the trade-off between insertion depth and ejection capability.
