Solution Overview

Problem

Current red dot scope bases have a defective design that leads to the lens cracking when the scope falls, resulting in poor drop-resistant performance.

Innovation Solution

A drop-resistant red dot scope base design featuring a mounting base body with first and second protective base bodies at the front and rear ends, respectively, which protrude to absorb impact and prevent the lens from contacting the ground, combined with a connecting base for gun attachment and a fastening piece for secure installation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the scope base uses a simple mounting structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but the lens is easily cracked during drops resulting in poor reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrop-resistant performanceVSAvoidscope base structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by designing protective base bodies that protrude beyond the mounting base body at front and rear ends. These protective structures extend further in the forward and rearward directions, creating a cushioning effect that prevents the lens from contacting the ground during drops, thereby improving drop-resistant performance before damage can occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies another dimension by transitioning from a simple mounting structure to a multi-dimensional protective structure. The protective base bodies add spatial extension in the forward and rearward directions, creating a three-dimensional protective configuration that surrounds and shields the lens from impact in multiple directions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If the protective base bodies protrude beyond the mounting base body, then the lens is protected from ground contact, but the scope base occupies more space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelens protectionVSAvoidscope base volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the scope base into distinct functional segments: the mounting base body and separate protective base bodies at the front and rear ends. This segmentation allows the protective elements to be positioned strategically to provide maximum protection while minimizing overall volume increase, as each protective body serves a specific protective function rather than requiring a uniformly larger structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a drop-resistant red dot scope base and a red dot scope. The drop-resistant red dot scope base includes: a mounting base body having a mounting portion, wherein the mounting portion is provided with a mounting hole, and the mounting hole is used for accommodating a lens; a first protective base body disposed on a front end of the mounting base body and connected to the mounting base body, and provided with a first avoidance hole, wherein the first avoidance hole is connected to a front end of the mounting hole, wherein a projection in a forward and rearward direction of the first protective base body protrudes out of a projection in a forward and rearward direction of the mounting base body; a second protective base body disposed on a rear end of the mounting base body and connected to the mounting base body, and provided with a second avoidance hole, wherein the second avoidance hole is connected to a rear end of the mounting hole, wherein a projection in a forward and rearward direction of the second protective base body protrudes out of a projection in a forward and rearward direction of the mounting base body. It can effectively prevent the lens from falling and cracking, and can realize all-round protection for the lens, with good drop-resistant performance and better durability, which can reduce the maintenance cost and help to promote the popularization and application.
