Game Machine Movable Gate with Pivotal Mounting Rack
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional game machines require two operators to detach and reattach the door plate for maintenance, limiting single-operator operation and angle control, making the process time-consuming and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A game machine design featuring a main body with a mounting rod, a movable gate with a pivotal part for rotation, and a movable mounting rack with retractable rods, allowing the gate to be opened and closed at various angles with a single hand.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the door plate is fixed by utilizing screws, then the door plate can be securely attached to the main body, but two operators are required to detach and reattach the door plate for maintenance, making the process time-consuming and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The door plate attachment system is segmented into a movable gate portion and a mounting rack portion. The mounting rack with slots provides secure attachment points, while the movable gate can be independently operated for quick release, eliminating the need for two operators to handle the entire door plate simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The door plate transitions from a fixed screw-attached structure to a dynamic movable gate structure. The gate can be moved along the mounting rod and secured at different positions using the mounting rack slots, allowing single-operator control while maintaining secure attachment when needed.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the door plate is fixed by screws, then the structure is stable, but the door plate cannot be opened and controlled in different angles according to operation requirement
Solution Approach 1:
The door plate is transformed into a movable gate that can be positioned at various angles relative to the main body. The mounting rack provides stable attachment points while the gate itself is dynamic, capable of being opened to different angles and secured using the slots and connection rods.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting rack with its slots and the movable gate create a nested structure where the gate can be positioned at multiple angles and secured within the mounting framework. This nested design allows angular adjustment while maintaining structural stability through the interlocking slot-rod-screw system.
3Reliability
If two operators are required to detach and reattach the door plate, then the attachment can be securely managed, but the maintenance operation becomes labor-consuming and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system is divided into a stationary mounting rack and a movable gate. The mounting rack remains fixed to the main body providing reliable attachment points, while the gate can be independently manipulated by a single operator for quick attachment and detachment operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable gate design enables single-operator self-service for attachment and detachment. The operator can independently move the gate along the mounting rod, engage it with the mounting rack slots, and secure it with connection rods without requiring assistance from another operator.
