Electric Gun Empty Shooting Prevention Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric guns lack an effective mechanism to prevent empty shooting without modifying the mechanical box, as there is no space to incorporate the necessary devices.
Innovation Solution
An empty shooting prevention device is introduced, which includes a switch and a power supply stop portion. The power supply stop portion disconnects the switch when a bullet detection device indicates a lack of bullets, thereby stopping the motor's rotation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a mechanical power supply stopping device is incorporated into the mechanical box to prevent empty shooting, then empty shooting is prevented, but the mechanical box structure must be changed and manufacturing becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the power supply stopping function into a separate module (power supply stop portion) that can be independently installed on the mechanical box, rather than integrating it into the mechanical box structure itself. This segmentation allows the prevention device to be added without redesigning the entire mechanical box.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply stop portion is extracted as a separate functional component from the mechanical box. The switch disconnecting portion is positioned outside the mechanical box and connected via a connection portion, allowing the main mechanical box structure to remain unchanged while still achieving empty shooting prevention.
2Reliability
If the mechanical box is newly manufactured to accommodate the power supply stopping device, then empty shooting prevention is achieved, but manufacturing cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply stop portion is designed as a pre-assembled module that can be installed on existing mechanical boxes without requiring them to be newly manufactured. The switch disconnecting portion and connection portions are prepared in advance as separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply stop portion is designed with universal applicability to different mechanical box types. The connection portions can be adapted to various mechanical box configurations, allowing the same prevention device to be used across multiple product lines without custom manufacturing.
3Ease of manufacture
If existing mechanical boxes are used without modification, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but there is no space to incorporate the power supply stopping device
Solution Approach 1:
The switch disconnecting portion is positioned in a different spatial dimension (outside the mechanical box) rather than trying to fit it inside. The connection portions extend from the mechanical box exterior to the switch disconnecting portion, utilizing external space that is already available on existing mechanical boxes.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection portions act as intermediaries that bridge the mechanical box and the switch disconnecting portion. These connection elements allow the power supply stop function to be added to existing mechanical boxes without requiring internal modifications or additional space within the mechanical box.

AI summary
[Problem] To provide a device for inhibiting the firing of shells which is capable of stopping the rotation of a motor when a bullet becomes a shell, without changing a conventional mechanical box. [Solution] This device for inhibiting the firing of shells is provided with: a switch which is provided in series with a contact point with which contact is made in order to pass a current through a motor when a trigger is pulled; and a current passage stopping part which receives an operation of a bullet detection device for detecting that a bullet has become a shell, and disconnects the switch to inhibit the passage of current through the motor.
