Modular Net Holder with Male-Female Coupling for Fishing Gear
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing net holders for fishing are cumbersome, prone to tangling, and lack effective attachment systems, leading to snagging on vegetation or rocks and potential loss in the water, while also being difficult to access during fishing.
Innovation Solution
A net holder system comprising a net-mounted unit with a male mounting component and a user-mounted unit with a female mounting component, which securely couples to form a stable attachment, allowing easy carrying and access of the net during fishing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a net is carried without a proper attachment system, then the net is easily accessible, but the net becomes cumbersome and prone to tangling with other gear
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system is divided into separate modular components: a mounting component integrated with the net, a wearable unit with attachment mechanism, and a release mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while working together to solve the contradiction between accessibility and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The wearable unit acts as an intermediary between the net and the user's body. It provides a structured attachment point that organizes the net in a manageable way while maintaining easy accessibility, thus reducing the cumbersome effect without requiring a complex overall system.
2Ease of operation
If a net is carried without proper attachment, then the net is simple to carry, but the net can snag on vegetation or rocks causing inconvenience and potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The net is pre-equipped with a mounting component that is ready to attach to the wearable unit before fishing begins. This preliminary preparation ensures the net is securely positioned and oriented to prevent snagging on vegetation or rocks during the actual fishing activity.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system is designed to be self-adjusting and self-securing through the wearable unit's structure and the release mechanism, which automatically maintains proper net orientation and security without requiring constant user intervention to prevent snagging.
3Ease of operation
If a net is not properly secured, then the net is easy to access and deploy, but the net might be lost in the water
Solution Approach 1:
The net attachment system is extracted from the net itself and placed on a separate wearable unit. This extraction allows the net to remain easily accessible and deployable while the wearable unit provides the secure retention mechanism that prevents loss in the water.
Solution Approach 2:
The release mechanism provides feedback to the user, allowing intentional detachment of the net when needed. This feedback system ensures the net remains securely attached during fishing but can be easily removed when the user needs to access it, balancing retention with accessibility.
4Reliability
If a complex attachment system is used to secure the net, then the net is reliably attached and不容易 lost, but the system becomes cumbersome and difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting component is merged with the net structure, and the attachment mechanism is integrated into the wearable unit. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall system while maintaining reliable net attachment security.
Solution Approach 2:
The wearable unit serves multiple functions: it provides the attachment point for the net, offers a release mechanism for easy detachment, and can be adjusted to different positions on the user's body. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, simplifying the overall system.
