Snap-On Fish Clamp Mechanism With Locked-Open Hook Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fish control devices require manual operation to open the clamping mechanism before controlling a fish, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A snap-on fish control device with a movable fastener and lock control component that keeps the clamping mechanism in an open state during fishing, allowing for quick and stable clamping of the fish.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the clamping mechanism is kept in a closed state when not in use, then the device structure is simple and compact, but it requires manual operation to open before controlling fish, resulting in poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The reset component (spring) preliminarily sets the clamping mechanism in an open state before fishing operations begin. This preliminary action eliminates the need for manual opening operations during actual fish control, directly resolving the contradiction by improving ease of operation while accepting increased device complexity through the addition of the reset component
Solution Approach 2:
The device transitions from a static closed state to a dynamic system where the reset component automatically opens the clamping mechanism. The moving shaft and lock control component create a dynamic structure that can switch between locked (closed) and unlocked (open) states, resolving the contradiction by enabling automatic opening while maintaining structural integrity
2Ease of operation
If the clamping mechanism is manually opened before controlling fish, then the device structure remains simple, but the operation becomes difficult to control and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The lock control component provides feedback control for the clamping mechanism state. When the moving shaft is pushed backward, the lock piece engages with the buckle bead to lock the shaft in position, ensuring reliable open or closed state. This feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction by improving reliability through automatic state locking while enhancing ease of operation through simplified user interaction
Solution Approach 2:
The reset component (spring) performs self-service by automatically returning the moving shaft to the forward position that opens the clamping mechanism. This self-service function eliminates the need for manual opening operations, directly improving ease of operation while the lock control component ensures reliable state maintenance, thus resolving the contradiction

AI summary
A snap-on fish control device, comprising a tube body, a clamping component, and a control component; the control component comprises a moving shaft, a movable fastener, a lock control component, and a reset component; the movable fastener drives the moving shaft to move forward and backward to control the opening and closing of the clamping component; when the lock control component locks the moving shaft, the first hook and the second hook are closed; when the lock control component does not lock the moving shaft and under the action of the reset component, the moving shaft moves forward, and the first hook and the second hook are opened. The clamping component can be stably kept in an open state, and the fish can be quickly clamped and controlled when taking the fish from the hook.
