Rangefinder Locator Mount With Magnetic Detachable Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional rangefinders lack effective positioning and retrieval methods, leading to frequent loss during outdoor activities, and integrating a positioning system increases manufacturing costs.
Innovation Solution
An assembly structure with an installation recess and detachable magnetic attraction mechanism for an electronic locator, such as an AirTag, allowing easy attachment and detachment on the rangefinder main body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a positioning system is integrated inside the traditional rangefinder, then the positioning and retrieval function is improved, but the design and manufacturing costs increase greatly
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning system is separated from the rangefinder main body. The rangefinder maintains its original simple structure, while an independent electronic locator (such as AirTag) is used for positioning functions. This segmentation allows the rangefinder to avoid complex internal modifications while still achieving positioning capability through magnetic attachment of the external locator.
2Reliability
If an internal positioning system is integrated, then the positioning function is improved, but the structure complexity and installation requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning hardware is extracted from the rangefinder body and implemented as a separate electronic locator that attaches magnetically to the rangefinder. This extraction eliminates the need for internal installation structures, corresponding positioning hardware, and complex control programs within the rangefinder, while still providing effective positioning functionality through the external locator paired with mobile phone software.
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
Enables easy installation and removal of an electronic locator, reducing design and manufacturing costs while providing effective positioning and anti-loss functionality.
Implementation Method 1
first magnetic attraction parts, and a lower side of the installation buckle is provided with second magnetic attraction parts corresponding to the number and position of the first magnetic attraction parts; the installation buckle is configured to be detachably provided in the installation recess through the second magnetic attraction parts magnetically attracting the first magnetic attraction parts

AI summary
An assembly structure for a rangefinder positioning device is provided; an installation recess is provided on a surface housing of a rangefinder main body. An independent electronic locator can be disassembled and assembled through an installation hole in a center of an installation buckle. The installation buckle can be detachably provided in the installation recess by magnetic attraction, and a user can easily disassemble and install the electronic locator he wants to install; for example, when a rangefinder is needed for outdoor golf activities, it can be easily provided with the mature and popular AirTag on the market to achieve the positioning and anti-loss of the rangefinder by an AirTag software on a mobile phone. When the rangefinder is not needed or not needed for positioning, the AirTag can be easily disassembled and used for other purposes, which can save the design and manufacturing costs of the rangefinder.
