Fishing Lure Specular Reflection Cavity Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fishing lures struggle to effectively attract fish due to weak reflected light and diffuse reflection, which reduces the fish-attracting effect.
Innovation Solution
The lure features a main body with a cavity and one or more specularly reflecting surfaces on its outer or inner surfaces, supported by the main body, allowing for high-brightness reflection in various directions through specular reflection, enhancing the fish-attracting capability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If diffuse reflection is used (as in conventional lures), then the reflected light is distributed in multiple directions, but the reflected light intensity becomes weak and cannot effectively attract fish
Solution Approach 1:
The lure body is divided into multiple mirror members with different reflective surfaces (plane mirrors, concave mirrors, convex mirrors) that segment the incident light into multiple reflection directions. Each mirror member handles a specific angular range, collectively covering all directions while maintaining high intensity in each direction through specular reflection
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from two-dimensional diffuse reflection to three-dimensional controlled specular reflection by arranging mirror members with different orientations (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°) to reflect light in multiple spatial dimensions, achieving both high intensity and multi-directional coverage
2Illumination intensity
If specular reflection is used to increase reflected light intensity, then the reflected light becomes strong and bright, but the reflected light may not reach fish in all directions depending on light angle
Solution Approach 1:
The lure incorporates multiple mirror members segmented by orientation and position, with each member responsible for reflecting light in specific directional ranges. This segmentation ensures comprehensive angular coverage while each mirror maintains high specular reflection intensity for its assigned direction
Solution Approach 2:
Mirror members are positioned asymmetrically with different orientations (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°) to capture incident light from various angles and redirect it toward fish. The asymmetric arrangement ensures that regardless of the incident light angle, at least one mirror member will reflect light effectively toward the fish
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The lure achieves a significant increase in reflected light intensity, enabling it to be transmitted further and attract fish more reliably by reducing attenuation and diffusing light in multiple directions.
Implementation Method 1
one or more reflecting surfaces or reflectors capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside is provided on at least one of an outer surface of the main body portion, an inner surface of the main body portion, or the inside of the cavity
