Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handgun shaft attachment methods require multiple turns and complex assembly efforts, leading to time-consuming assembly and disassembly, and there is a risk of threaded screws getting lost during use.
Innovation Solution
A shaft fastening device featuring a clamping bolt and clamping eccentric that allows for quick and secure assembly and disassembly by generating an axial tensile force, requiring only a quarter turn to clamp or loosen, and includes a locking mechanism to prevent over-tightening and loss of components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded screws are used to attach the shaft to the receiver, then the shaft can be securely fastened, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is divided into separate functional components: a clamping bolt with clamping head for securing the shaft, and a clamping eccentric with lateral slot for enabling quick rotation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, achieving secure fastening with minimal assembly steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping eccentric is designed to rotate dynamically between different positions (clamping position and release position) to control the fastening state. This dynamic mechanism allows quick transition between secured and released states with simple rotational movement, dramatically reducing assembly time while maintaining secure fastening when engaged.
2Reliability
If threaded screws are used for shaft attachment, then the shaft can be firmly fixed, but the screws are prone to getting lost during use
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping bolt and clamping eccentric are merged into an integrated fastening assembly that remains attached to the shaft and receiver even when disassembled. The clamping eccentric stays mounted on the shaft while the clamping bolt remains on the receiver, preventing separation and loss of components during field use.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping eccentric acts as an intermediary component that mediates between the clamping bolt and the shaft. It transfers the clamping force while maintaining a permanent mounting relationship with both the shaft and receiver, ensuring that no component can be lost during operation or field use.
3Reliability
If conventional fastening screws are used, then the shaft can be attached to the receiver, but over-tightening and resulting inaccuracies occur
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening mechanism changes the critical parameter from rotational threading to rotational eccentricity. The clamping eccentric rotates to generate clamping force through its eccentric geometry, allowing precise control of the clamping position and force application point, thereby preventing over-tightening and maintaining shaft alignment accuracy.
