Toy Gun Butt Structure with Press Locking Guide Rods
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional toy gun butt structures complicate battery replacement due to the need to remove and reinsert parts, making the process cumbersome and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A butt structure for toy guns featuring guide rods with cavities and a press locking device, where the cavities include hook portions and the press locking device has engaging ends with protrusions, allowing for easy prevention of backward movement while enabling simple removal for battery replacement by operating the press locking device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the press locking device is used to secure the rear part and guide rods, then the rear part is prevented from moving backwards, but the process of removing and reinserting the pin and operating the press portion becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is segmented into distinct functional elements: the press portion for actuation, the engaging portion for locking, and the pin for positioning. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, enabling reliable locking while simplifying the overall operation for battery replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of requiring the user to manually remove and reinsert the pin before operating the press locking device, the design allows the press portion to be operated first to release the locking mechanism, after which the pin can be easily removed. This inversion of the operational sequence simplifies the battery replacement process by eliminating the need for precise pin manipulation before unlocking.
2Reliability
If the rear part is securely locked to prevent accidental disengagement, then reliability is improved, but the ease of removal for battery replacement is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism transitions from a static locked state to a dynamic unlocked state through the operation of the press portion. The engaging portion can be engaged with the cavities to provide secure locking during normal use, but can be quickly disengaged by pressing the press portion, allowing easy removal for battery replacement. This dynamic capability resolves the contradiction between secure locking and easy removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The press portion serves as an intermediary element that mediates between the locked and unlocked states. By pressing the press portion, the engaging portion is forced to disengage from the cavities, providing a simple and reliable method to transition from the securely locked state to the removable state without requiring complex manual manipulation.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the guide rods are inserted forward and secured with a pin, then the structure is stable, but the complexity of disassembly and reassembly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pin and press locking device are combined into an integrated assembly where the pin is positioned within the press locking device structure. This merging allows the pin to be easily accessed and removed when the press portion is operated, eliminating the need for separate pin removal and reinsertion steps. The structural stability is maintained through this integrated design while simplifying the overall disassembly and reassembly process for battery replacement.

AI summary
A butt structure for a toy gun includes: a butt body, a rear part, two guide rods and a press locking device. The guide rods are inserted at two sides of the butt body and can move together with the rear part. The press locking device is connected to the butt body. The guide rods each include a front cavity and rear cavities. Each of the front cavities includes a hook portion on an inner front surface thereof, and each of the engaging ends includes a front protrusion. Operating the press locking device can make the engaging ends engage with the front or the rear cavities, so as to adjust the position of the rear part back and forth. When the hook portions engage with the front protrusions, the guide rods are fixed to prevent the rear part from being pulled out backwards.
