Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional twin-beam laser modules for laser sights have complex constructions that make beam alignment difficult, leading to increased production costs and size, which hampers quick and accurate aiming, especially in firearms where precise alignment is crucial.
Innovation Solution
A twin-beam laser module with a housing featuring adjacent and parallel cylindrical spaces, where one laser assembly is directly secured inside the first space and the other within an outer cylindrical casing, allowing for simplified adjustment of the outer casing to align both laser beams in parallel, reducing the overall size and assembly complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional twin-beam laser module construction is used with separate cylindrical bodies and multiple screw holes, then laser beam alignment can be achieved, but the structure becomes complex and adjustment becomes tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the two separate cylindrical bodies into a single integrated housing with adjacent first and second cylindrical spaces. The first laser assembly is directly secured in the first cylindrical space while the second laser assembly is positioned in the second cylindrical space. This integration reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall structure while maintaining the ability to align laser beams through the shared housing structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing serves multiple functions: it provides the structural framework, contains both laser assemblies, establishes the reference axis for alignment, and integrates the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment apparatus mounted on the housing can simultaneously control the orientation of both laser assemblies, making the housing a multi-functional component that simplifies the overall system.
2Reliability
If conventional twin-beam laser module with multiple cylindrical bodies is used, then laser beams can be emitted, but the volume and size increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the second laser assembly within the housing structure that also contains the first laser assembly. The adjacent cylindrical spaces are arranged to maximize space utilization, with the laser assemblies nested within the shared housing volume. This nesting approach allows both laser systems to coexist in a compact configuration rather than requiring separate external mounting.
3Manufacturing precision
If conventional adjustment mechanism with multiple bolts and screw holes is used, then laser beam parallel alignment can be achieved, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the alignment function from the traditional multi-bolt mechanical adjustment system and consolidates it into a single adjustment apparatus mounted on the housing. This apparatus controls the orientation of the second laser assembly relative to the first, achieving parallel beam alignment through a simplified mechanism that reduces the number of adjustment components and assembly steps.

AI summary
A twin-beam laser module has a housing having a first cylindrical space and a second cylindrical space, which are adjacent and parallel in axial direction to each other. A first laser assembly is directly secured inside the first cylindrical space to output a first laser beam, and an outer cylindrical casing is positioned inside the second cylindrical space. A second laser assembly is provided inside the outer cylindrical casing to output a second laser beam, and an adjustment apparatus adjusts the orientation of the outer cylindrical casing so as to align the first laser beam and the second laser beam to be parallel to each other.
