Shooting Support Foot-Rib Joint Without a Separate Limiting Part
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shooting auxiliary supports have complex connection structures that lead to high installation costs due to the need for a limiting part and time-consuming assembly.
Innovation Solution
A support structure with a simplified rotating connection between the supporting foot and rib, utilizing a first rotating shaft sandwiched between retaining walls to facilitate easy installation without a separate limiting part, and an elastic material for the rib to enable detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a limiting part is used to connect supporting ribs to supporting feet, then the rotating connection is achieved, but the installation becomes time-consuming and laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the limiting part from the connection structure. Instead of using a separate limiting part to secure the rotating shaft, the design uses the retaining walls formed by the supporting foot and supporting rib bodies themselves to directly retain the rotating shaft, thereby removing the limiting part and simplifying the installation process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the functions of the limiting part into the supporting foot and supporting rib structures. The retaining walls are formed by the bodies of these components themselves, combining the structural support function with the shaft retention function, eliminating the need for a separate limiting component
2Reliability
If a limiting part is used to connect supporting ribs to supporting feet, then the rotating connection is achieved, but the production costs increase due to requiring a separate mold
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the limiting part from the connection structure. Instead of using a separate limiting part to secure the rotating shaft, the design uses the retaining walls formed by the supporting foot and supporting rib bodies themselves to directly retain the rotating shaft, thereby removing the limiting part and simplifying the installation process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the supporting foot and supporting rib bodies serve multiple functions. In addition to providing structural support, their bodies form the retaining walls that secure the rotating shaft, eliminating the need for a separate limiting part and its associated mold, thereby reducing manufacturing costs
3Ease of operation
If retaining walls are used to sandwich the rotating shaft, then the installation is simplified, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the self-service principle by designing the supporting foot and supporting rib bodies to automatically form the retaining walls that secure the rotating shaft. The structures serve themselves by using their own bodies to create the retention mechanism, eliminating the need for separate limiting parts and simplifying the overall connection structure
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
Simplifies installation steps and reduces production costs by eliminating the need for a limiting part, while maintaining structural stability and ease of assembly.
Implementation Method 1
one end of the supporting rib is capable of rotating relative to the main rod, the other end is rotatably connected to the supporting foot
Implementation Method 2
the first rotating shaft is sandwiched between the second retaining wall and the fourth retaining wall in the length direction of the supporting foot
Implementation Method 3
the supporting rib is made of an elastic material, after one end of the supporting rib is connected to the main rod, the supporting rib is twisted within a torsional angle range of the supporting rib

AI summary
This application relates to the technical field of shooting auxiliary equipment, and specifically relates to a support and a shooting auxiliary apparatus. The support includes a main rod (10), a supporting foot base (20), and supporting components (30). The supporting component includes a supporting foot (31) and a supporting rib (32). One end of the supporting rib is provided with a first rotating shaft (321). The supporting foot includes a first installing part (311) and a second installing part (312). The first installing part includes a first retaining wall (3112) and a second retaining wall (3113). The second installing part includes a third retaining wall (3122) and a fourth retaining wall (3123). The first retaining wall and the second retaining wall form, through enclosure, a first installation space (3111) at which the first rotating shaft is inserted. The third retaining wall and the fourth retaining wall form, through enclosure, a second installation space (3121) at which the first rotating shaft is inserted. A rotating connection structure disposed for the supporting foot and the supporting rib in this application is simpler, so that installation steps are simplified, and production costs are reduced.
