Arrow Chain Driving Mechanism for Continuous Shooting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional arrow shooting devices limit the number of arrows that can be shot due to the height of the arrow box, requiring repetitive and time-consuming loading processes, which distracts shooters and affects accuracy and stability.
Innovation Solution
An arrow shooting device with an arrow chain driving structure, featuring a gun body with a chain hole and a chain driving assembly that includes a first slider and a second slider, allowing the arrow chain to be continuously moved from one side of the gun body to the other, eliminating the need for repeated loading and maintaining shooter concentration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If an arrow box is used to hold multiple arrows, then the number of shots can be increased, but the height of the arrow box limits the number of arrows that can be held and increases the weight of the bow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from vertical stacking (arrow box) to horizontal chaining (arrow chain). The arrow chain extends horizontally through the gun body along the shooting direction, eliminating the vertical height constraint. Multiple arrows are arranged in a chain that can be continuously fed through the gun body from front to back, allowing unlimited arrow capacity without increasing device height.
Solution Approach 2:
The arrow chain is designed to be dynamically movable through the gun body. The driving assembly pushes the arrow chain horizontally along the shooting direction, enabling continuous arrow supply. This dynamic horizontal feeding mechanism replaces the static vertical storage of the arrow box, allowing arrows to be continuously supplied without height limitations.
2Productivity
If arrows are loaded one by one into the arrow box, then continuous shooting can be achieved, but the loading operation is time-consuming and requires repeated disassembling and assembling
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple arrows are merged into a single continuous chain structure. The arrow chain integrates multiple individual arrows into one unified component that can be loaded as a single unit. The driving assembly then pushes this combined chain through the gun body, eliminating the need for repeated loading operations and reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple arrows are pre-assembled into a chain structure before loading. This preliminary arrangement allows the entire chain to be loaded in one operation rather than loading arrows individually during shooting. The driving assembly then sequentially feeds arrows from the pre-assembled chain, enabling continuous shooting without repeated loading interruptions.
3Quantity of substance
If the arrow box is made taller to hold more arrows, then the number of shots increases, but the weight of the whole group of bows and arrows increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the storage dimension from vertical (arrow box height) to horizontal (arrow chain length along shooting direction). This dimensional change allows increased arrow capacity without increasing the vertical profile or overall system weight, as the chain extends horizontally through the existing gun body structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The gun body structure is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both the shooting chamber and the horizontal guide for the arrow chain. The driving assembly integrates the pushing mechanism within the gun body, eliminating the need for separate heavy arrow box structures and reducing overall system weight while maintaining increased arrow capacity.
