Solution Overview

Problem

Existing dart game apparatuses have complex designs that are difficult to disassemble and assemble, limiting convenience of use and storage, and affecting market promotion and application.

Innovation Solution

A dart game apparatus with a target mechanism, a first support frame, a second support frame, and an adjustment mechanism, where the first support frame is detachably connected with the target mechanism, the second support frame is rotatably connected with the target mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts the included angle between the first and second support frames, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly while providing stable support.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a traditional fixed wall mount is used, then the target structure is simple, but it causes wall damage, occupies space, and is inconvenient to store and carry

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of storage and carryingVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is divided into multiple detachable components (first support frame, second support frame, adjustment mechanism) that can be separated for storage and reassembled for use, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and portability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support structure transitions from a fixed static mount to a dynamic adjustable system with rotatable and detachable components, enabling both ease of storage and structural stability during use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If an existing movable stand is used, then wall damage is avoided, but the design is complex and difficult to disassemble and assemble

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of disassembly and assemblyVSAvoidstand design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand is segmented into distinct modular components (first support frame, second support frame, adjustment mechanism) with clear connection interfaces, making disassembly and assembly straightforward while maintaining structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment mechanism pre-configures the connection between support frames with rotational joints and adjustment components, allowing users to easily adjust the included angle without complex manipulation during assembly or disassembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If the support structure is made stable, then the target mechanism is securely supported, but the ease of adjustment and storage is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport stabilityVSAvoidflexibility of adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure employs dynamic connections (rotational joints, adjustable mechanisms) that allow easy adjustment during setup but provide stable support when configured, resolving the contradiction between stability and adjustability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment mechanism acts as an intermediary component between the support frames, providing a stable connection when adjusted while enabling easy modification of the included angle for different usage scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
