Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If strong magnets and hanging plates are used for fixing compound bow release aids on the release access board, then the access speed is improved, but the device complexity increases and compatibility with various bow designs becomes difficult to achieve

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess speedVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces strong magnets and hanging plates with a modular mounting system using regulation holes and adsorption pieces. This substitution reduces device complexity while maintaining fast access capability through a simplified mounting mechanism that can accommodate various bow designs without requiring complex adjusting mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the release access board is designed to be compatible with multiple compound bow release aid designs, then the adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility rangeVSAvoidmanufacturing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the mounting system into modular components: a mainboard with multiple regulation holes arranged in arrays, and separate adsorption pieces that can be positioned at different locations. This segmentation allows the system to accommodate various bow designs without requiring high manufacturing precision, as the modular nature enables flexible configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The regulation holes arranged in arrays on the mainboard serve multiple functions: they allow positioning for different bow designs, enable adjustment of adsorption piece locations, and provide flexibility in mounting configurations. This multi-functionality achieves broad compatibility without increasing manufacturing precision requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If users rely on feeling when tightening or loosening knobs by rotating, then the ease of operation is improved, but the measurement precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidprecision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a gear position adjustment assembly with gear position holes and a spring bead that provides tactile feedback to the user during rotation. This feedback mechanism allows users to easily determine when the knob has reached precise positions, combining ease of operation with measurement precision by giving clear tactile indicators of correct positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed is a rapid access device for compound bow release aids. First regulation holes and second regulation holes distributed in an array manner are arranged on a modular mounting mainboard, and an adsorption piece is arranged. Both a first adsorption piece and a second adsorption piece are strong magnetic components, and the second adsorption piece is mounted at a position above the second regulation holes to adsorb a hook part of a compound bow release aid. An expansion hole plate is further mounted at a position of the first regulation holes of the present disclosure, and a position of the expansion hole plate can be adjusted in horizontal, vertical and rotational directions. The first adsorption piece is mounted on the expansion hole plate, such that the first adsorption piece is capable of adsorbing metal components of triggers or switches of most compound bow release aids.
