Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle calibration, and in particular to an automatic adjustment device for a vehicle calibration target. Background Art
[0002] As a pioneering transportation system in recent years, intelligent rail vehicles (IRTs) have been introduced and deployed in numerous cities both domestically and internationally, integrating the strengths of both trams and buses. They offer trackless active steering, high passenger capacity, high operational flexibility, low investment costs, and a short construction period. IRTs are long and consist of multiple trains. Without tracks, precise chassis calibration (such as toe adjustment and angle calibration) of axles and articulated disc angles is essential to ensure active axle steering and accurate tracking of each train.
[0003] The current chassis calibration method for smart rail vehicles uses four-lens 3D vision and fixed planar targets. During the calibration process, as the wheels rotate, a human operator manually manipulates the target on each wheel to align the painted surface with the camera for imaging. However, due to the large number of wheels on smart rail vehicles, chassis calibration requires capturing images of the axles at different postures to obtain target images in different postures for computational processing and complete the calibration process. Each calibration requires hundreds of position adjustments to the fixed targets, resulting in complex operations, low calibration efficiency, and the potential for human error.

[0039] Disclosed herein is an embodiment of an automatic adjustment device for a vehicle calibration target. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of the automatic adjustment device for vehicle calibration targets 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. 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. 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, thereby constructing 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 target surface rotation angle under different wheel posture states is automatically adjusted by the added counterweight, thereby performing vehicle calibration.
[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, a T-shaped mounting fixture is used to securely connect the target surface counterweight to the vehicle tire to establish a target surface fixed coordinate system. The mounting fixture includes a main shaft, a side shaft, and a fixing bracket. The main shaft is directly fixed to the vehicle tire via the fixing bracket, and the side shaft is connected to an additional bearing. The attached bearing secures the target surface fixed block to the wheel, thereby establishing a target surface fixed coordinate system.
[0041] When 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 , thus 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 setting Z w The positive direction is consistent with the direction of the connecting rod between the mounting fixture and the target surface, and the tire surface is (X w , Y w ) plane. Due to the effect of 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 and has no other degrees of freedom. 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 gravity magnitude 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 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 and 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 stops, the combination will automatically reach a state of rotational equilibrium 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.
[0046] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of the automatic adjustment device for vehicle calibration target in the state where the counterweight is adjusted in angle. Figure 2 As shown, a coordinate system O is established at the bearing installation location that is fixed to the mounting fixture / tire. 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 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 Is perpendicular to the horizontal ground and passes 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 fixed block.
[0047] When calculating the rotation angle under the current target surface orientation, 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 as follows:
[0048] ,
[0049] Among them, m p Indicates the mass of the counterweight, m b Indicates the mass of the combined body 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 convert 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 coordinates of the center of mass (x w ,y w ,z w ), then according to the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The coordinates of the center of mass (x w ,y w ,z w ) to calculate the rotation angle under the current target surface orientation state. Among them, the rotating 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 convert 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 coordinates of the center of mass (x w ,y w ,z w ), then according to the wheel coordinate system O w -X w Y w Z w The coordinates of the center of mass (x w ,y w ,z w ) to calculate the rotation angle under the current target surface orientation state. Among them, the rotating 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 coordinates of the center of mass (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 integrated 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 mounting position of the counterweight, the target surface's rotation angle relative to its original equilibrium state can be adjusted. This allows for variable target orientation control, ensuring the target is always oriented toward the corresponding camera lens at the desired angle. In particular, when the original target surface has a uniform mass distribution and its center of mass is located at the bearing's rotational center, the target surface's orientation is determined solely by the counterweight's mounting position and the fixed block's cone angle β, and is unaffected by the counterweight's mass.
