Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional dot sighting devices with adjusting units on different surfaces are inconvenient for rapid zeroing, leading to time delays and increased device volume.

Innovation Solution

The dot sighting device features first and second adjusting units arranged on the same surface, allowing for parallel movement of the light source to facilitate rapid and convenient zeroing by moving the aiming point in both the first and second axis directions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If adjusting units are arranged on different surfaces of the dot sighting device, then the device can perform zeroing by moving the light source, but the volume of the device is increased and it becomes inconvenient to use for rapid zeroing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvezeroing capabilityVSAvoiddevice volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple adjusting units that were previously arranged on different surfaces into a single integrated adjusting unit. This merging of adjustment functions into one compact structure reduces the overall device volume while maintaining the capability to move the light source in multiple directions for zeroing, directly resolving the contradiction between zeroing capability and device size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated adjusting unit is designed to perform multiple adjustment functions simultaneously - it can move the light source in both vertical and horizontal directions through a single unified structure. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate adjusting units on different surfaces, thereby reducing device volume while preserving comprehensive zeroing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If adjusting units are arranged on different surfaces of the dot sighting device, then the device can perform zeroing, but the time required for rapid zeroing is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvezeroing capabilityVSAvoidzeroing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By merging multiple adjusting units into a single integrated unit, the patent enables simultaneous or sequential adjustment in multiple directions without requiring the user to switch between different surfaces or adjusting units. This consolidation streamlines the zeroing operation, reducing the time required to achieve accurate aiming while maintaining full zeroing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated adjusting unit is pre-configured with all necessary adjustment mechanisms in a single location, allowing the user to perform all required adjustments without needing to reposition their hand or locate different controls. This preliminary arrangement of all adjustment functions in one place enables rapid zeroing by eliminating unnecessary movements and steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If adjusting units are arranged on different surfaces of the dot sighting device, then the device can move the light source for zeroing, but the device becomes inconvenient to operate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvezeroing capabilityVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple adjusting units located on different surfaces into a single integrated adjusting unit that provides all adjustment functions in one accessible location. This consolidation improves ease of operation by allowing the user to control all aspects of light source positioning from a single interface, eliminating the need to navigate between different surfaces and making the device more convenient to operate while maintaining full zeroing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A sighting device includes a body, a light emitting unit, a bracket, a first adjusting unit and a second adjusting unit. The body couples to an arm having a barrel. The body is disposed relative to the arm in a first direction defined on an up and down axis. A third direction is defined as a direction of the barrel on a front and back axis. A second direction is defined as a left and right axis. The bracket couples to the light emitting unit. The first adjusting unit couples the bracket to the body and moves the bracket relative to the body. The second adjusting unit couples the bracket to the body and moves the bracket relative to the body.
