Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional acceleration detection devices experience erroneous correction due to vehicle body vibrations during the transition from a stationary to a running state, leading to deterioration of correction accuracy.

Innovation Solution

The acceleration detection device employs a vibration component elimination unit to remove vehicle body vibrations from the acceleration signal, allowing for a more accurate zero-point correction by calculating a correction value based on the filtered signal, thereby suppressing erroneous corrections caused by vehicle vibrations during braking.

1Measurement precision

If the acceleration sensor signal is corrected using the acceleration signal during the transition from stationary to running state, then the drift error correction is performed, but the vehicle body vibration component causes erroneous correction and deteriorates correction accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection accuracyVSAvoidvehicle body vibration
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration component elimination unit extracts and removes the vehicle body vibration component from the acceleration sensor signal. By separating the harmful vibration component from the useful acceleration signal, the system can perform drift error correction using only the clean acceleration signal without vibration interference, thereby resolving the contradiction between performing correction and avoiding erroneous correction due to vibrations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The vibration component elimination unit acts as an intermediary between the acceleration sensor signal and the drift error correction calculation. It processes the raw acceleration signal to eliminate vibration components before the signal is used for correction, serving as a mediator that prevents the transmission of harmful vibration effects to the correction process while preserving the useful acceleration information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
