Solution Overview

Problem

Current hunting devices and tools face limitations such as the need for manual assembly and disassembly of autonomous trap hoppers, instability in broadhead arrowheads, inaccuracy of smoothbore shotgun slugs, and difficulty in attaching accessories to sporting firearms, which hinder the hunting experience and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

The development of an autonomous trap magazine that can be pre-loaded and quickly assembled, a weathercocking arrowhead with a multi-degree of freedom joint for stability, a smoothbore shotgun slug with improved aerodynamics, and a quick-detachable multi-purpose accessory mounting platform for firearms, along with a tool for easy Glock magazine release button removal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If the hopper is disassembled for transportation and storage, then portability is improved, but assembly time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The hopper is divided into multiple separable components (hopper body, lid, mounting bracket) that can be easily detached and reattached. This segmentation allows the hopper to be disassembled for transportation while maintaining simple reassembly through intuitive connection interfaces without requiring complex tools or procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If accessories are permanently mounted on the firearm, then stability is improved, but adaptability and ease of removal decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidaccessory adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system transitions from static permanent attachment to dynamic removable attachment. The quick-detach mechanism allows the mounting platform to be securely fixed during use providing stability, yet easily removed when needed, enabling adaptability to change accessories or storage conditions without permanent modification to the firearm.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting platform is designed with universal compatibility to accommodate multiple types of accessories (flashlights, lasers, scopes, etc.). The standardized interface and adaptable mounting structure allow a single platform to serve multiple functions and attach various accessories, enhancing versatility while maintaining secure attachment during operation.

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

3Strength

If the mounting platform is permanently attached to the firearm, then structural integrity is improved, but ease of removal and storage convenience decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidremoval convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system transitions from static permanent attachment to dynamic removable attachment. The quick-detach mechanism allows the mounting platform to be securely fixed during use providing stability, yet easily removed when needed, enabling adaptability to change accessories or storage conditions without permanent modification to the firearm.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If multiple accessories are mounted on the platform, then functionality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessory functionalityVSAvoidmounting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting platform is designed with universal compatibility to accommodate multiple types of accessories (flashlights, lasers, scopes, etc.). The standardized interface and adaptable mounting structure allow a single platform to serve multiple functions and attach various accessories, enhancing versatility while maintaining secure attachment during operation.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system separates the mounting platform from the accessories, allowing the platform to remain a simple, standardized base while accessories can be added or removed as needed. This segmentation prevents the core mounting system from becoming complex while still enabling multiple accessory configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
