Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote controlled fishing apparatuses face difficulties in reaching shallow or vegetated areas on water that are hard to access by boat or land, and lack a quick and adjustable mechanism for releasing the fishing line.

Innovation Solution

A remote controlled fishing boat equipped with a fishing line guide featuring a quick-release attachment system, allowing for adjustable tension and easy attachment to the boat hull, enabling efficient delivery of the fishing line to desired fishing locations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a remote controlled boat is used to deliver fishing line to hard-to-reach areas, then the fishing area accessibility is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefishing area accessibilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fishing line guide is divided into separate modular components including a guide body, attachment portion with brackets, and quick-release mechanism. This segmentation allows the system to reach complex fishing areas while maintaining ease of assembly and deployment, effectively managing device complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The remote controlled boat is adapted to serve multiple functions: navigation, fishing line delivery, and quick-release operations. The fishing line guide attachment system provides universal applicability across different boat types and fishing scenarios, improving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity

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

2Ease of operation

If a quick-release mechanism is added to the fishing line guide, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The quick-release function is extracted as a separate, dedicated mechanism within the fishing line guide attachment system. The release pad and attachment portion with brackets are distinct components that can be independently operated, providing ease of release without requiring complex integration into the entire boat system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The release pad acts as an intermediary element between the fishing line and the boat structure. This intermediate component simplifies the release operation by providing a dedicated interface that requires minimal force and effort, while the bracket system mediates the connection to the boat hull

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If the fishing line guide is made easily attachable to the boat hull, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability of attachment may worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidattachment reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment system is segmented into separate brackets and attachment portions that can be manufactured independently using standard fabrication processes. This modular approach simplifies manufacturing while the distributed bracket configuration across the hull provides multiple attachment points that collectively ensure reliable securing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The attachment brackets are positioned at specific locations on the boat hull where structural strength is greatest. The local quality of the attachment system is optimized by placing brackets at structurally advantageous positions, ensuring reliable attachment without requiring complex manufacturing throughout the entire structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
