Golf Practicing Tent Outer Receiving Net Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing retractable and collapsible golf practicing tents have limited receiving areas, requiring larger tents for increased space, which increases weight and makes them inconvenient to set up and carry, and they often require significant muscular strength and skill to assemble, with safety hazards due to ball impact and damage risks.
Innovation Solution
An instant multifunctional golf practicing tent with a wider and higher outer receiving net, supplementary inner or outer receiving nets, stopping pockets, a tilted floor for easy ball retrieval, and a mechanism for quick assembly and disassembly, along with performance evaluation features like distance markings and a tracking device, allowing for safer and more convenient use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the receiving net is made larger to increase the receiving area, then the safety and usability are improved, but the weight and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving net is repositioned from inside the tent to outside the tent structure. This spatial reconfiguration allows the receiving area to extend beyond the tent's physical boundaries, effectively increasing the receiving area without requiring a larger or heavier tent structure. The net is supported by the existing tent poles but extends outward, creating a larger functional receiving zone while maintaining the original tent weight.
2Area of stationary object
If the tent size is increased to provide more receiving space, then the receiving range is improved, but the portability and ease of setup deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving net utilizes the external space around the tent by extending outward from the tent structure. This allows the receiving range to be expanded in the horizontal dimension without increasing the tent's footprint or height. The net is attached to the existing pole structure but projects outward, creating additional receiving space while keeping the tent compact and easy to set up.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a collapsible frame structure is used to make the tent portable, then the adaptability is improved, but the assembly complexity and difficulty deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The tent poles serve multiple functions: they provide structural support for the tent canopy and simultaneously serve as support structures for the external receiving net. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate support structures, simplifying the overall assembly process while maintaining portability through the collapsible frame design.
