Removable Push Operation Part With Rotating Lock Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In game devices, the fixed nature of push operation parts makes maintenance costly and time-consuming, as the entire display unit must be removed and transported for repairs, increasing maintenance costs and work time.
Innovation Solution
An operating device with a rotatable locking mechanism that allows easy installation and disassembly of operation parts, featuring a frame with an inner hole, a locking part that rotates to restrain movement, and a moving part that linearly or rotationally operates the locking part to release the operation part, enabling quick separation and repair.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the push operation part is fixed to the display unit, then the operation part is securely held in place, but the entire display unit must be removed and transported for repairs, increasing maintenance costs and time
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is divided into separate components: a locking part with locking protrusions, a locking groove on the operation part, and a moving part that actuates the locking mechanism. This segmentation allows the operation part to be independently removable while remaining securely locked during normal operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking part is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to transition between locked and unlocked states. The moving part enables this dynamic transformation, permitting easy removal of the operation part when needed while maintaining secure locking during use.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the operation part is fixed to the display unit, then structural stability is maintained, but repair operations require separation of the entire display unit from the game device
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism segments the connection between the operation part and display unit into independent locking components. This allows the operation part to be quickly released without affecting the structural integrity of the remaining display unit during repair operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking part acts as an intermediary mechanism between the operation part and display unit. It provides a dedicated interface for secure attachment during operation and easy detachment during maintenance, without requiring separation of the entire display unit.
3Productivity
If a locking mechanism is added to allow easy removal, then maintenance time is reduced, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is segmented into simple, discrete components: locking protrusions, locking grooves, and a moving part. Each component has a single, clear function, reducing overall complexity while enabling efficient maintenance operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism is designed to be manually operated without requiring additional tools or complex actuation systems. The moving part can be directly manipulated to lock or unlock the operation part, simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining high maintenance efficiency.

AI summary
Provided is an operating device comprising: an operating part for receiving an operating signal; a frame part having an inner hole part into which the operating part is inserted; a lock part rotatably provided to the frame part, and inserted into a side surface of the operating part by a rotating operation so as to restrict the movement of the operating part; and a moving part which is connected to the lock part and which moves in a linear direction or rotates the lock part by a rotating operation.
