Arc Lighter Fixing Element with Detachable Plastic Expansion Member
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional arc guns are difficult to disassemble due to the troublesome process of removing the arc lighter from the metal conduit, which limits flexibility and convenience.
Innovation Solution
An arc lighter fixing element featuring a metal conduit with a detachable arc lighter and a plastic expansion member, where the arc generation head is sheathed on the conduit, and a screw secures the ceramic member through a series of holes and a ring, allowing for easy installation and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a stamping method is used to fix the arc lighter onto the metal conduit, then the connection strength is improved, but the ease of disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing element is divided into a metal conduit portion and a plastic expansion member portion. The plastic expansion member can be easily removed from the metal conduit, allowing the arc lighter to be disassembled without damaging the metal conduit. This segmentation enables easy disassembly while maintaining strong connection during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The plastic expansion member is designed as a disposable component that is discarded after one use. It provides strong fixing strength during the stamping process but can be easily removed afterward, allowing the metal conduit to be recovered and reused with a new plastic expansion member for disassembly and reassembly operations.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid connection structure is used between the arc lighter and metal conduit, then the stability is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The metal conduit is designed with sufficient flexibility to be bent to different angles while maintaining its structural integrity. This allows the arc lighter to be positioned at various angles for different ignition requirements, improving adaptability while the connection structure maintains stability during operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates convenient installation and disassembly, enabling the metal conduit to be bent for ignition at different angles and simplifying the connection process.
Implementation Method 1
a plastic expansion member latched to an end of the metal conduit
Implementation Method 2
a screw is passed through the center of the ceramic member and then secured with the plastic expansion member

AI summary
An arc lighter fixing element includes a metal conduit and an arc lighter detachably installed to an end of the metal conduit. A plastic expansion member is latched into an end of the metal conduit. The arc lighter includes an arc generation head and a ceramic member installed on the top inner side of the arc generation head, and the bottom of the arc generation head is sheathed on the top of the metal conduit. A screw is passed through the center of the ceramic member and then secured with the plastic expansion member. The metal conduit may be bent conveniently to facilitate an ignition at different angles, and passed through an expansion structure to connect the arc lighter to the metal conduit, so as to facilitate the installation and disassembling.
