The intelligent rail vehicle has a long body size and many vehicle groups. Under the condition of no track, the axle and articulated plate angle must be accurately calibrated (such as toe adjustment and angle calibration) to ensure the active steering of the axle and the accurate following of each group. Only in this way can the steering control of the intelligent rail vehicle be realized.

During the calibration process, as the wheels rotate, people need to manually operate the targets on each wheel to align the marking paint surface with the camera for shooting. However, due to the large number of wheels on smart rail vehicles, during the chassis calibration process, it is necessary to capture and capture the different postures of the axles to obtain the target images in different postures for calculation and processing, and then complete the calibration process.

[0039] Disclosed herein is an embodiment of a vehicle calibration target automatic adjustment device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of the automatic adjustment device for vehicle calibration target in the original equilibrium state of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic adjustment device for the vehicle calibration target includes: a target surface, a counterweight, a bearing, a fixed block and a mounting fixture. Among them, the target surface is connected to the fixed block, and the fixed block (such as a conical fixed block) is connected to the mounting fixture fixed to the vehicle tire, and the calibration target surface is fixed to the vehicle tire through the mounting fixture and the fixed block. The main shaft of the mounting fixture is fixedly connected to the vehicle tire, and the side shaft is connected to the fixed block through the additional bearing, so as to construct a target surface fixed coordinate system. The counterweight is added to the target surface according to the target surface orientation required for calibration, and the rotation angle of the target surface under different wheel posture states is automatically adjusted by the additional counterweight, so as to perform vehicle calibration.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to fix the target surface counterweight block to the vehicle tire to construct the target surface fixed coordinate system, a T-shaped mounting fixture is used as a mounting fixture for fixed connection. The mounting fixture includes a main shaft, a side shaft and a fixed bracket. The main shaft is directly fixed to the vehicle tire through the fixed bracket, and the side shaft is connected to the added bearing. The fixed block used to fix the target surface is fixedly connected to the wheel through the connected bearing, thereby constructing the target surface fixed coordinate system.

[0041] In constructing the target surface fixed coordinate system O b -X b Y b Z b When the target surface is fixed, a wheel coordinate system is first established based on the mounting fixture and the side shaft, and then a target surface fixed coordinate system is established based on the established wheel coordinate system. w -X w Y w Z w , so that through the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w And the target surface fixed coordinate system O b -Xb Y b Z b To calculate the target surface rotation angle under different wheel posture states. w -X w Y w Z w When Z w The positive direction is consistent with the connecting rod direction between the mounting fixture and the target surface, and the tire surface is (X w , Y w ) plane. Due to the bearing installed on the connecting rod between the mounting fixture and the target surface, the target surface can only be rotated around the Z w The shaft rotates freely, has no freedom in other directions, and the friction torque of the bearing can be ignored.

[0042] In this embodiment, after completing the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w After the establishment of the target surface and the counterweight block, the target surface and the counterweight block are combined, and the center of mass of the combination in the original equilibrium state is taken as the origin O b , the direction perpendicular to the ground is Y b , along the direction horizontal to the ground and perpendicular to the target surface is X b , perpendicular to Y b The direction on the target plane is Z b To establish the target surface fixed coordinate system O b -X b Y b Z b The target surface rotation angle under different wheel posture states is calculated by establishing the target surface fixed coordinate system and the wheel coordinate system.

[0043] At this time, in the original equilibrium state, the center of mass of the combination of the target surface and the counterweight (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the combination) is O, and the magnitude of gravity G t , its direction is along Y w The supporting force of the mounting bracket bearing is F S , direction is along Y w According to Newton's first law, when the combination is in equilibrium, G t is equal to Fs, and G t Relative to Z w The moment of the axis is 0, that is, the center of mass is O, which is perpendicular to the horizontal ground and passes through Z. w in the plane of the axis.

[0044] In this embodiment, after the target surface fixed coordinate system is established, a counterweight is added to the corresponding position of the target surface based on the constructed target surface fixed coordinate system and the target surface orientation required for calibration to automatically adjust the target surface orientation, and then the rotation angle in the current target surface orientation state is calculated based on the target surface fixed coordinate system and the wheel coordinate system to perform vehicle tire calibration.

[0045] During the calibration process, as the axle wheel rotates, the combination moves in space with the wheel and loses its balance. When the wheel rotates to the predetermined position and then stops, the combination will automatically reach a rotational balance due to the stabilization of the center of gravity. At this time, the center of mass O is perpendicular to the horizontal ground and passes through Z. w The target surface is in the plane of the axis, so the target surface can be automatically adjusted.

Figure 2 As shown, a coordinate system O fixed to the mounting fixture / tire is established at the bearing mounting location. w -X w Y w Z w , where Y w Vertically upward from the ground, Z w Outward along the bearing axis, X w Determined by the right-hand rule. Assume that there is an original uniform target surface (for the original target surface with uneven mass distribution, it can be regarded as an equivalent body with uniform mass distribution and a counterweight block with a deadweight of m b , whose center of mass is located at Z w According to the above, the equilibrium state of the original target surface must be the center of mass O b In a perpendicular position to the horizontal ground and through Z w The target surface fixed coordinate system O is established at its center of mass. b -X b Y b Z b , where Y b Vertically upward from the ground, Z b In the target plane, perpendicular to Y b Outward, X b Determined by the right-hand rule. At this time, Z b With Z w The included angle is β, which is determined by the angle of the actual fixing block.

[0047] When calculating the rotation angle under the current target surface orientation state, firstly based on the mass of the counterweight block and the position of the counterweight block (0, y p ,z p ) to calculate the current state of the combined body in the target surface fixed coordinate system O b-X b Y b Z b The integrated center of mass coordinates in the target surface are then used to calculate the rotation angle under the current target surface orientation state. b -X b Y b Z b The integrated center of mass coordinates in the integrated center of mass coordinates (x b ,y b ,z b ) is shown below:

[0048] ,

[0049] Among them, m p Indicates the mass of the counterweight, m b represents the mass of the combination in the original equilibrium state. b -X b Y b Z b After the integrated center of mass coordinates in the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w Coordinate system O fixed to the target surface b -X b Y b Z b The rotating coordinate system T that is used to transform between y To fix the target surface to the coordinate system O b -X b Y b Z b The integrated center of mass coordinates in the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The center of mass coordinates (x w ,y w ,z w ), and then according to the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The center of mass coordinates (x w ,y w ,z w ) to calculate the rotation angle of the current target surface orientation. Among them, the rotation coordinate system T y As shown below:

[0050] ,

[0051] Where β represents the target surface fixed coordinate system O b -X b Y b Z b Along the Y b Convert clockwise to wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The conversion angle of the target surface is determined by the fixed coordinate system O b -X b Y b Z b After the integrated center of mass coordinates in the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w Coordinate system O fixed to the target surface b -X b Y b Z b The rotating coordinate system T that is used to transform between y To fix the target surface to the coordinate system O b -X b Y b Z b The integrated center of mass coordinates in the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The center of mass coordinates (x w ,y w ,z w ), and then according to the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The center of mass coordinates (x w ,y w ,z w ) to calculate the rotation angle of the current target surface orientation. Among them, the rotation coordinate system T y As shown below:

[0052] ,

[0053] Where β represents the target surface fixed coordinate system O b -X b Y b Z b Along the Y b Convert clockwise to wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The wheel coordinate system O is then calculated using the following formula:w -X w Y w Z w The center of mass coordinates (x w ,y w ,z w ):

[0054] ,

[0055] Among them, m p Indicates the mass of the counterweight, m b Indicates the mass of the combination in the original equilibrium state. At this time, the comprehensive center of mass of the combination is in the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The coordinates inside (x w ,y w ,z w ) is not perpendicular to the horizontal ground and passes through Y w Z w The target surface will rotate under the action of gravity until the integrated center of mass rotates to a plane perpendicular to the horizontal ground and passing through the Zw axis. The rotation angle θ is:

[0056] ,

[0057] In summary, in this embodiment, by adjusting the weight and installation position of the counterweight, the rotation angle of the target surface relative to the original equilibrium state can be adjusted, so that different target orientation controls can be achieved, and the target surface is always oriented toward the corresponding camera lens at an angle required by the user. In particular, when the original target surface is a target surface with uniform mass distribution and the center of mass is located at the rotation center of the bearing, the orientation of the target surface will only be determined by the installation position of the counterweight and the cone angle β of the fixed block, and will not be affected by the mass of the counterweight.
