Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing lures lack the ability to effectively replicate the sound and motion of bait creatures, leading to inefficiencies in attracting fish, and are often expensive and fragile due to reliance on outdated discrete technologies.
Innovation Solution
A fishing lure device featuring a small insertable module that broadcasts recorded bait creature sounds and lifelike motion using micro-miniature surface mount technology, including a microchip, micro speaker, and magnetic actuator, which can be remotely controlled and automatically activated, and is designed to be robust, economical, and adaptable for various bait creature shapes and sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If discrete outdated technology is used for fishing lures, then the lures can produce vibration and motion, but the lures become expensive and fragile
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical vibration systems with electronic components. A microchip stores recorded bait creature sounds, and a micro speaker plays these sounds electronically, eliminating the need for mechanical vibrators and reducing device complexity while improving reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the operating parameters from mechanical vibration frequency to electronic sound frequency. By using a micro speaker driven by electronic signals from a microchip, the system achieves more reliable operation with simpler mechanical components
2Reliability
If prior art fishing lures are designed to replicate bait creatures, then they can attract fish, but they lack realistic sound and motion capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by recording actual bait creature sounds on a microchip and playing them back through a micro speaker. This creates realistic sound replication without requiring complex mechanical motion systems, improving effectiveness while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The lure combines multiple functions in a single device: it replicates bait creature shape, produces realistic sounds through electronic means, and creates motion through simple mechanical components. This multi-functionality achieves realistic replication without increasing operational complexity
3Ease of manufacture
If modern surface mount technology is used in the lure module, then the lure becomes robust and inexpensive, but the size of electronic components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the lure into modular components: a reusable electronic module containing the microchip and micro speaker, and a replaceable lure body. This segmentation allows the electronic components to be optimized for manufacturing using surface mount technology while keeping the overall lure size manageable through modular design
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a cost-effective, durable, and versatile fishing lure that replicates the sounds and movements of bait creatures, enhancing the attractiveness to fish and allowing for easy customization and maintenance, improving fishing efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
The sound is produced by a module inside the lure via a micro speaker communicating with a micro chip
Implementation Method 2
which utilizes a simple magnetic actuator and programmable sound device remotely controlled to activate simulated bait creature extremity movement and sounds
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic module in a fishing lure in the water is activated to broadcast a pre-recorded actual or simulated sound of a bait creature and or create lifelike bait creature motion. A switch in the module activates a sound chip and a micro speaker, a water sensing automatic on-off switch turns the power on and off, and the battery is charged by an external charging coil. An alternate embodiment automatically activates the fishing lure device to replicate bait animals in size, shape, movement and sound.
