Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If vertical or horizontal adjusting screws are used to adjust the LED chip mounting seat position, then the sight reticle can be adjusted, but thread clearance interference causes the mounting seat to tilt or jump during adjustment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereticle adjusting precisionVSAvoidmounting seat stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment system is segmented into four independent adjustment mechanisms (UP adjusting, UP resetting, R adjusting, R resetting) arranged at the four corners of the mounting seat. Each mechanism independently adjusts one aspect of the mounting seat position, eliminating the interference between adjustment components that causes tilting and jumping.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines adjustment and resetting functions into an integrated system where adjusting mechanisms and resetting mechanisms work together. The resetting mechanisms are merged with the adjusting mechanisms to provide automatic resetting functionality, ensuring the mounting seat returns to its original position after adjustment and preventing instability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If adjusting screws are used to move the mounting seat, then position adjustment is achieved, but clearance in cavity space causes the mounting seat to jump during shooting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment operabilityVSAvoidmounting seat positional stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The resetting mechanisms are pre-installed and pre-configured to counteract the jumping tendency of the mounting seat. These mechanisms apply preliminary counteracting forces to prevent the mounting seat from jumping during shooting, rather than waiting for the jumping to occur and then correcting it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The resetting mechanisms act as intermediary components between the mounting seat and the external forces (recoil, vibration) that cause jumping. These intermediaries absorb and dissipate the disruptive forces, protecting the mounting seat from direct impact and preventing positional instability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If thread fit clearance is adjusted during the adjustment process, then screw interference is reduced, but the adjustment precision and efficiency remain low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment mechanism simplicityVSAvoidreticle adjusting precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment mechanisms incorporate dynamic elements such as springs that allow the system to adapt to different adjustment states. The springs provide flexible connection that maintains precise positioning while accommodating the natural movements and forces acting on the mounting seat during adjustment and operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
