Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current target disc holders are often single-functioned, prone to collapse, difficult to assemble/disassemble, occupy excessive space, and require the entire product to be replaced upon damage, failing to meet diverse user needs.
Innovation Solution
A modular target disc holder design featuring a cross beam, connecting tubes, clamping plates, and supporting members with adjustable extension rods and tubes, allowing for easy assembly, disassembly, and replacement of damaged components, while accommodating various disc sizes and configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single structure with foot and vertical rod is used, then the structure is simple, but it easily collapses after being shot
Solution Approach 1:
The target disc holder is divided into multiple independent components: cross beam, connecting tubes, clamping plates, and supporting members. This segmentation allows each part to bear specific loads and functions, improving overall stability while maintaining structural simplicity through modular assembly.
2Strength
If integral structure is used, then the product is durable, but the entire product has to be replaced after damage which increases cost
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed as modular components that can be independently replaced. If one part is damaged, only that specific component needs replacement rather than the entire product, reducing repair costs while maintaining overall product durability through selective component replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular design enables discarding and replacing only the damaged components (such as connecting tubes or clamping plates) while retaining and reusing the undamaged parts, thereby reducing material waste and replacement costs.
3Reliability
If complicated mounting structure is used, then the mounting is stable, but it is difficult to disassemble and occupy more space
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is segmented into standardized components with simple connection interfaces. The clamping plates can be easily attached to the cross beam, and supporting members can be independently mounted, providing both stability and ease of assembly/disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting tubes and clamping plates are designed with universal connection capabilities that work across different configurations. The same components can be assembled in various arrangements to achieve stable mounting while maintaining ease of assembly through standardized interfaces.
4Device complexity
If fixed single function design is used, then the structure is simple, but only one target disc can be hung and height cannot be changed
Solution Approach 1:
The holder design incorporates adjustable elements including extendable cross beams and height-adjustable supporting members. Users can modify the length and height of the holder to accommodate different shooting distances and target positions, providing functional flexibility while maintaining relatively simple component designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular components can be configured in multiple ways to serve different functions. The same clamping plates and connecting tubes can be arranged to hold one or multiple target discs, or adjusted to different heights, making the holder versatile while keeping individual components simple.

AI summary
The invention discloses a target disc holder which comprises a cross beam, several connecting tubes, several clamping plates and several supporting members; wherein the clamping plates are detachably fixed at both ends of the cross beam; the supporting members are detachably fixed on the clamping plates; the supporting members comprise several supporting tubes; and the connecting tube is fixedly inserted into each of the supporting tubes. The target disc holder is convenient to disassemble and assemble, is easy to repair and replace, and has low cost. With a unique structural design and reasonable use of materials, the target disc holder has stronger stability and does not collapse after being shot.
