[0032] The four-wheel alignment detection device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention realizes the synchronous sliding of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 toward or away from each other by setting a control component, thereby quickly positioning the wheel target within the field of view of the left camera group 190 and the right camera group 200, effectively improving the efficiency of vehicle wheel alignment detection.
[0033] See also Figures 2 to 4 , the figure shows the connection structure between the control component, the crossbeam 130, the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 in the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, a left rack 141 may be provided on the left movable arm 140 along the length direction, and a right rack 151 may be provided on the right movable arm 150 along the length direction. The control component may include a left gear structure 160, a right gear structure 170 and a transmission belt 180. The left gear structure 160 and the right gear structure 170 are both arranged on the beam 130. The left gear structure 160 includes a coaxially arranged first gear 161 and a second gear 162, and the second gear 162 is meshed with the left rack 141; the right gear structure 170 includes a coaxially arranged third gear 171 and a fourth gear 172, and a coaxially arranged fifth gear 173 and a sixth gear 174, the fourth gear 172 is meshed with the fifth gear 173, and the sixth gear 174 is meshed with the right rack 151; the transmission belt 180 is meshed with the first gear 161 and the third gear 171 respectively.
[0034] It should be noted that the second gear 162 and the left rack 141 can be directly meshed or indirectly meshed through one or more intermediate gears, the fourth gear 172 and the fifth gear 173 can be directly meshed or indirectly meshed through one or more intermediate gears, and the sixth gear 174 and the right rack 151 can be directly meshed or indirectly meshed through multiple intermediate gears, as long as the left moving arm 140 and the right moving arm 150 can slide toward or away from each other synchronously.
[0035] By respectively arranging a left rack 141 and a right rack 151 on the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150, and arranging a left gear structure 160 and a right gear structure 170 on the cross beam 130 which are respectively meshed with the left rack 141 and the right rack 151, and then connecting a transmission belt 180 between the left gear structure 160 and the right gear structure 170, the synchronous sliding of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 toward or away from each other can be achieved, and the sliding distance of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 can be accurately controlled at the same time, so that the targets of the wheels on both sides of the vehicle can be quickly and accurately positioned in the fields of view of the left camera group 190 and the right camera group 200 respectively, thereby improving the positioning rate of the wheels and further improving the vehicle assembly efficiency.
[0036] exist Figure 2In the specific embodiment shown, a fixed shell can be provided on the outside of the left gear structure 160 and the right gear structure 170, and the fixed shell is arranged on the beam 130. The gears in the left gear structure 160 and the right gear structure 170 are rotatably connected to the fixed shell through a rotating shaft. An opening is provided on the fixed shell for the transmission belt 180 to pass through. The transmission belt 180 can be a belt with a rack on the inner ring.
[0037] It can be understood that what is shown in the figure is only an example. In other embodiments, the left gear structure 160 and the right gear structure 170 can also be provided with bearings at both ends of the rotating shaft. The bearings are fixed to the beam 130 to fix the gears in the left gear structure 160 and the right gear structure 170. The transmission belt 180 can also use a chain.
[0038] Please refer again Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the number of teeth of the first gear 161 may be smaller than the number of teeth of the second gear 162 , and the control component may further include an adjusting knob 210 , which may be mounted on any one or more of the rotating shafts of the first gear 161 , the third gear 171 , or the fifth gear 173 .
[0039] The number of teeth of the first gear 161 is set to be smaller than the number of teeth of the second gear 162, so that the linear speed of the second gear 162 is greater than the linear speed of the first gear 161, so as to achieve fast adjustment. The adjustment knob 210 is set on any one or more of the first gear 161, the third gear 171 or the fifth gear 173. The user can adjust the synchronous sliding of the left moving arm 140 and the right moving arm 150 by slightly rotating the adjustment knob 210 by hand. The adjusting knob 210 can be separately arranged on the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150, and a synchronous transmission mechanism can be arranged between the adjusting knobs 210 separately arranged on the left movable arm and the right movable arm, so that the user can drive the other adjusting knob 210 to rotate synchronously after rotating one of the adjusting knobs 210, thereby realizing the synchronous sliding of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150, or the adjusting knob 210 can be arranged on the crossbeam, which is coupled and connected to the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 respectively, and the user can realize the synchronous sliding of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 by rotating the adjusting knob 210 on the crossbeam.
[0040] exist Figure 2 In the specific embodiment shown, the adjusting knob 210 is disposed through the fixed housings of the left gear structure 160 and the right gear structure 170, and one end is connected to the rotating shaft of the internal gear, and the other end is used for manual tightening.
[0041] In some embodiments, the number of teeth of the first gear 161 may also be greater than the number of teeth of the second gear 162, so that the linear speed of the second gear 162 is smaller than the linear speed of the first gear 161, and the adjustment knob 210 is set on any one or more of the first gear 161, the third gear 171 or the fifth gear 173 to achieve fine-tuning of the left moving arm 140 and the right moving arm 150.
[0042] In some embodiments, the number of teeth of the first gear 161 may be greater than the number of teeth of the second gear 162, and the control component may further include a drive motor, the output shaft of the drive motor may be connected to at least one of the rotating shaft where the first gear 161 is located or the rotating shaft where the third gear 171 is located, and the drive motor drives at least one of the first gear 161 or the third gear 171 to rotate through its output shaft, thereby driving the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 to slide synchronously, and the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 is also provided with a controller electrically connected to the drive motor, and the controller is used to control the operation of the drive motor. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the output shaft of the drive motor may also be directly connected to at least one of the first gear 161 or the third gear 171.
[0043] By setting the number of teeth of the first gear 161 to be greater than the number of teeth of the second gear 162, deceleration can be achieved when the output shaft of the driving motor drives the left movable arm 140 or the right movable arm 150, thereby avoiding the situation where the driving motor drives the left movable arm 140 or the right movable arm 150 to slide at too fast a speed, causing inconvenience in adjustment.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, the controller can directly control the drive motor. The controller may include a circuit board and a control module, a display module and a switch module electrically connected to the circuit board. The switch module is used to control the opening and closing of the drive motor. The control module is used to control the rotation speed, rotation time, forward rotation and reverse rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor, thereby controlling the sliding speed, sliding time, sliding distance and sliding towards or away from each other of the left moving arm 140 and the right moving arm 150. The display module is used to display feedback information such as the sliding direction, sliding distance, sliding time, sliding speed, etc. of the left moving arm 140 and the right moving arm 150.
[0045] It can be understood that in other specific embodiments, the controller can also be used as an adapter to indirectly control the drive motor. The controller may include a circuit board and a transceiver module electrically connected to the circuit board (for example, it can be a wireless transceiver module or a limited transceiver module), and a signal conversion module. The transceiver module is used to connect to the external input device or output device signal to receive or send the signal. The signal conversion module is used to convert the signal received by the transceiver module (for example, it can be an image signal, an audio signal, a video signal, etc.) into a signal recognizable by the controller (for example, it can be an electrical signal) to control the motor, or to convert the controller's signal (for example, it can be an electrical signal) into a signal recognizable by the external output device (for example, it can be an image signal, an audio signal, a video signal, etc.), thereby feeding back information such as the sliding direction, sliding distance, sliding time, and sliding speed of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 to the external output device, so that the user can control and adjust the drive motor in a timely and accurate manner.
[0046] In some embodiments, the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 can be symmetrically arranged relative to the beam 130, the number of teeth of the first gear 161 and the third gear 171 can be the same, and the tooth ratio of the fifth gear 173 and the fourth gear 172 is equal to the tooth ratio of the sixth gear 174 and the second gear 162, so that the linear speeds of the second gear 162 and the sixth gear 174 are the same.
[0047] By setting the number of teeth of the first gear 161 and the third gear 171 to be the same, and the gear ratio of the fifth gear 173 to the fourth gear 172 to be equal to the gear ratio of the sixth gear 174 to the second gear 162, the synchronous sliding distances of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 are made equal, so that the left camera group 190 and the right camera group 200 at both ends of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 are still at the same distance relative to the cross beam 130 after the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 slide synchronously, thereby ensuring that the wheels on both sides of the vehicle are calibrated and positioned at the same time.
[0048] See also Figure 5 The figure shows the use status of the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the specific use process, the center line of the beam 130 can be aligned with the center line of the vehicle first, and then only the wheel on one side needs to be calibrated and positioned, and the moving arm on the other side will slide accordingly, and naturally the wheel on the other side will be positioned within the field of view of the camera group.
[0049] See also Figure 6, the figure shows the connection structure between the cross beam 130 and the moving arm in the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the cross beam 130 includes a connection seat 131 slidably connected to the stand 120 and a sleeve 132 fixed on the connection seat 131, the sleeve 132 is arranged perpendicular to the stand 120, the sleeve 132 has openings at both ends and a receiving cavity therein, and at least one of the opposite ends of the left moving arm 140 and the right moving arm 150 can be slidably received in the receiving cavity.
[0050] By slidably accommodating at least one of the facing ends of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 in the accommodating cavity, the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 can slide relative to the sleeve plate 132, while the sleeve plate 132 supports and protects the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150, thereby improving the stability of the sliding structure.
[0051] See also Figure 7 , the figure shows the specific structure of the slide groove 220 and the guide pulley 230 in the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 of an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 can be respectively provided with at least one slide groove 220 extending along the length direction, and the inner wall of the sleeve plate 132 is connected with the guide pulley 230, and the guide pulley 230 is rotatably engaged in the slide groove 220.
[0052] Through the cooperative connection between the guide pulley 230 and the slide groove 220, on the one hand, the sliding friction between the left movable arm 140, the right movable arm 150 and the sleeve plate 132 is reduced, thereby facilitating the smooth sliding of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150; on the other hand, a guiding function is provided for the sliding of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150.
[0053] See also Figure 8 , the figure shows a side view structure of the connection between the left movable arm 140 and the sleeve 132 in the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 of an embodiment of the present invention. In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the guide pulley 230 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 132 through the rotating shaft at its end face, and an annular groove is provided on the side of the guide pulley 230. The cross-section of the slide groove 220 is T-shaped with an opening smaller than the internal space. The annular groove on the side of the guide pulley 230 is clamped on the walls on both sides of the opening of the slide groove 220 to achieve the coordinated sliding between the guide pulley 230 and the slide groove 220.
[0054] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the guide pulley 230 may also be completely engaged in the slide groove 220 .
[0055] Please refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 may further include a fastening knob 240 rotatably connected to the sleeve 132. The fastening knob 240 may include a rotating portion 241 and a fastening portion 242. The fastening portion 242 is arranged through the sleeve 132, one end of which is fixedly connected to the rotating portion 241, and the other end extends into the accommodating cavity, so that the fastening portion 242 can apply pressure and fix at least one of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150.
[0056] During specific use, when the wheel targets on both sides completely enter the field of view of the camera, rotate the tightening knob 240 to apply pressure to fix the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 to prevent the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 from accidentally slipping and causing positioning failure or inaccurate positioning.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, one end of the fastening portion 242 used for applying pressure and fixing can be sleeved or bonded with a soft rubber layer to prevent the fastening portion 242 from scratching the surface of the left moving arm 140 or the right moving arm 150 .
[0058] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , the figure shows the connection and driving structure of the stand 120 and the crossbeam 130 in the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 of an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the stand 120 may be provided with at least one slide rail 121 arranged along the height direction of the stand 120, and the connecting seat 131 may be provided with a sliding member 133 that cooperates with the slide rail 121, so that the crossbeam 130 can slide along the slide rail 121 relative to the stand 120, and the base 110 may be vertically provided with a screw 250, the screw 250 passes through the connecting seat 131 and is threadedly connected to the connecting seat 131, and the base 110 is also provided with a control module and a motor 260, the control module is electrically connected to the motor 260, and the output shaft of the motor 260 is connected with the screw 250 for driving the screw 250 to rotate, and the screw 250 drives the connecting seat 131 to move along the slide rail 121.
[0059] The motor 260 drives the screw 250, which drives the connecting seat 131 to slide relative to the stand 120, so as to realize the automatic lifting and lowering of the beam 130, save manpower, adjust the height of the camera group to adapt to more sizes of vehicles, and further improve the efficiency of positioning.
[0060] It should be noted that the output shaft of the motor 260 can be directly connected to the bottom end of the screw 250 for driving, or can indirectly drive the screw 250 to rotate through gears to achieve the purpose of acceleration or deceleration.
[0061] exist Fig.10In the specific embodiment shown, the control module may include a controller 270, a circuit board 280 and a switch 290. The controller 270, the motor 260 and the switch 290 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 280. The motor 260 is directly or indirectly connected to the screw 250, so that when the motor 260 is working, it drives the screw 250 to rotate, and the screw 250 drives the connecting seat 131 to move along the slide rail 121.
[0062] In some embodiments, at least one of the left movable arm 140 and the right movable arm 150 is provided with a scale mark for identifying the sliding distance of the left movable arm 140 or the right movable arm 150 .
[0063] By setting scale marks, the user can quickly identify the sliding distance of the left movable arm 140 or the right movable arm 150, which is convenient for recording, thereby providing data reference for subsequent wheel alignment detection to save subsequent operation time.
[0064] Please refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, a moving wheel 300 may be provided at the end corner of the base 110. This arrangement facilitates the overall movement of the four-wheel alignment detection device 100, improves the stability of the support of the moving wheel to the base, and is conducive to rapid positioning detection.
[0065] Please refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, a positioning knob 310 may also be provided on the base 110. The positioning knob 310 includes a pressurizing portion 311, a connecting shaft 312 and a screwing portion 313. The connecting shaft 312 vertically passes through the base 110. The pressurizing portion 311 is connected to one end of the connecting shaft 312 away from the stand 120, and the screwing portion 313 is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 312.
[0066] In specific use, the base 110 can be placed on the ground. When the terrain is uneven, the presence of the moving wheel 300 will cause the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 to slide. If the device accidentally slips, it may also cause the risk of damage. The setting of the positioning knob 310 makes the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 fixed. Specifically, after the four-wheel alignment detection device 100 is moved to the target area, the screwing part 313 is rotated by hand to press the pressurizing part 311 down to elastically contact with the ground or other plane where the base is placed, so that static friction is generated between the pressurizing part 311 and the ground or other planes to fix the four-wheel alignment detection device 100.
