Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional firearm digital sights and laser sights face issues with aiming precision and photographic convenience due to the need to move hands to operate buttons, leading to potential aiming errors and increased electromagnetic interference, as well as waterproofing challenges with extension wires and sockets.

Innovation Solution

A remote-controlled firearm aiming and photographing compound apparatus with a detachable digital sight and laser sight, featuring a wireless transmitting and receiving module system that allows button operation without hand movement, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving waterproofing by eliminating extension wires and sockets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the button is extended using extension wire and socket, then the button can be pressed conveniently while maintaining aiming posture, but electromagnetic interference increases and waterproofing becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebutton operation convenienceVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical extension wire connection system with a wireless communication system. The wireless transmitting module on the button and wireless receiving module on the main body eliminate the need for physical extension wires, thereby removing the source of electromagnetic interference while maintaining the convenience of remote button operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the extension wire is used to connect the extended button, then the button can be positioned freely, but waterproofing is compromised and water can enter the device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebutton positioning flexibilityVSAvoidwaterproofing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates the mechanical extension wire connection that compromised waterproofing by implementing a wireless communication system. This substitution removes the physical opening through which water could enter, while the button remains positionally flexible through wireless signal transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If the hand moves to the digital sight to press the button, then the photographic function can be operated, but the aiming line leaves the target causing aiming errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotographic operationVSAvoidaiming precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the control functions by placing the button on a separate extended structure away from the digital sight body. This allows the hand to press the button at a convenient location without moving from the aiming position, thereby maintaining aiming precision while enabling photographic operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The extended button structure acts as an intermediary that transfers the pressing action from the hand to the control circuit without requiring hand movement to the digital sight. This intermediary mechanism allows the user to maintain their aiming posture while still operating the photographic function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Ease of operation

If the other hand bears the entire weight of the rifle during hand movement, then the button can be pressed, but the burden on the hand increases and aiming precision is adversely affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebutton pressing capabilityVSAvoidhand burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSForce

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the weight support function by providing a dedicated support structure (such as a rail or mounting system) that bears the weight of the digital sight and extended button assembly. This allows the user's hand to press the button without bearing the entire weight of the rifle and attached components, reducing hand burden and maintaining aiming precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
