Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing projectile expelling apparatuses face issues with the tipping of the projectile dispensing mechanism when the rotational housing is adjusted, leading to improper projectile dispensing due to changes in the angle, requiring inconvenient steps to rectify, and resulting in operational inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A projectile expelling apparatus design featuring a fixed channel with a rotating expelling housing, where the fixed channel remains stationary while the housing adjusts, maintaining a consistent projectile entry point and allowing the dispensing mechanism to remain static, thus eliminating the need for complex reattachment procedures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the rotational expelling housing is directly connected to the fixed channel feeder and projectile dispensing mechanism, then the housing can rotate to change projectile trajectory, but the fixed channel feeder and projectile dispensing mechanism also rotate and tip, causing improper projectile dispensing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the apparatus into separate functional components: the rotational expelling housing that rotates to change trajectory is separated from the fixed channel feeder and projectile dispensing mechanism that remain stationary. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component's function without interference from the other components' movements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the rotational function from the entire apparatus and applies it only to the expelling housing, while removing the rotation and tipping from the fixed channel feeder and projectile dispensing mechanism. This extraction eliminates the harmful effect of rotation on the dispensing mechanism while preserving the useful effect of trajectory adjustment.
2Ease of operation
If the fixed channel feeder is directly connected to the projectile expelling housing, then projectiles can be fed into the housing, but when the housing is rotated and tipped, the fixed channel feeder also rotates and tips, causing projectiles to fall out of the feeder
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the projectile feeding function from the expelling housing rotation. The fixed channel feeder is positioned and connected in a way that allows it to remain stationary while the expelling housing rotates independently. This segmentation ensures the feeder maintains a stable, fixed position for reliable projectile feeding.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary connection structure between the fixed channel feeder and the rotational expelling housing that allows the housing to rotate without transmitting this rotation to the feeder. This intermediary mechanism enables independent movement of the housing while keeping the feeder stable.
3Productivity
If the projectile dispensing mechanism is fixedly attached to the fixed channel feeder, then the mechanism can dispense projectiles, but when the housing is rotated, the dispensing mechanism rotates and tips, changing the angle required for gravity to move projectiles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the projectile dispensing function from the rotational movement. The projectile dispensing mechanism is positioned and connected to remain fixed relative to the ground while the expelling housing rotates. This segmentation maintains the proper gravitational angle for projectile dispensing regardless of housing rotation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the rotational movement from the projectile dispensing mechanism, applying rotation only to the expelling housing. The dispensing mechanism remains stationary and fixedly attached in a position that maintains the correct angle for gravitational projectile movement, eliminating the harmful effect of rotation on dispensing operation.
