Solution Overview

Problem

Golfers face challenges in practicing putting skills effectively, as existing devices lack portability, versatility, and the ability to simulate real-world putting conditions.

Innovation Solution

A golf putting practice device comprising a box, two pivotally connected supporting feet, and a marking piece, which can be easily unfolded and set up on indoor artificial turf or outdoor grass, providing a goal for putting practice and allowing for various practice patterns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a traditional putting practice device is used, then the structure is stable, but the portability and ease of deployment are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of deployment
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into a box body and two detachable supporting feet. The supporting feet can be folded into the box when not in use and attached externally when needed, allowing the structure to be stable during use while remaining highly portable and easy to deploy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If a fixed goal structure is used for putting practice, then the aiming target is consistent, but the versatility and adaptability to different practice scenarios are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaiming accuracyVSAvoidpractice pattern versatility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The box serves multiple functions: it acts as the main body of the device, a carrying case for the supporting feet, and a storage container for practice accessories like golf balls and tees. The supporting feet can be positioned at different locations on the box, enabling various practice patterns including straight putting and angled putting, thus providing versatility while maintaining consistent aiming targets.

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

3Ease of operation

If a portable putting practice device is used, then the ease of deployment is improved, but the structural stability and goal formation capability are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of deploymentVSAvoidgoal structure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting feet are designed to be dynamically attachable and detachable from the box. When deployment is needed, the feet are attached to the bottom of the box at specific positions, forming a stable goal structure. When not in use, the feet are folded into the box, maintaining portability. This dynamic configuration allows the device to transition between portable and stable states as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
