Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual flipping is used for each target body, then the target can be reset for reuse, but the operational cost and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple target bodies are merged onto a single rotating frame structure, allowing them to be reset simultaneously through one rotation cycle rather than individually. The rotating frame integrates multiple mounting seats, combining what would otherwise require separate manual operations into a unified automated system.
Solution Approach 2:
The target body automatically resets itself through gravity-driven flipping when the rotating frame rotates. The target body flips forward and backward around the rotating axle without external intervention, using its own weight and the rotation motion to return to the upright position, eliminating the need for manual resetting.
2Extent of automation
If rotating driving components are set up for each target body, then automatic rotation is achieved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single rotating frame serves multiple target bodies simultaneously, providing universal rotation capability for all targets mounted on it. One driving mechanism (the rotating frame) performs the function that would otherwise require individual driving components for each target, simplifying the overall system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating frame acts as an intermediary carrier that transfers the rotation motion to multiple target bodies. Instead of directly driving each target body with separate motors or actuators, the rotating frame mediates the transmission of rotational motion, reducing the number of driving components needed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple target bodies are used in shooting games, then the entertainment value increases, but the cost for manual flipping or setting driving devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple target bodies are combined on a single rotating frame structure, allowing them to be reset simultaneously through one rotation cycle rather than individually. The rotating frame integrates multiple mounting seats, combining what would otherwise require separate manual operations into a unified automated system.
Solution Approach 2:
The target body automatically resets itself through gravity-driven flipping when the rotating frame rotates. The target body flips forward and backward around the rotating axle without external intervention, using its own weight and the rotation motion to return to the upright position, eliminating the need for manual resetting.

AI summary
An automatic rotating lifting target is disclosed, including a support, a driving mechanism, a rotating frame, and multiple target bodies. The driving mechanism is fixedly arranged at a top of the support. The rotating frame is connected to an output shaft of the driving mechanism and driven to rotate by the mechanism. A periphery of the rotating frame has multiple mounting seats. The multiple target bodies are respectively installed with rotating axles and are easily mounted on corresponding mounting seats of the rotating frame in back and forth flipping manner, and the rotating frame drives these target bodies to rotate. The automatic rotating lifting target has structures of ingenious and practical, without the need for manual flipping or setting up a driving device for flipping. It is featured with low comprehensive cost and very convenient use.
