Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the calibration device is removed and remounted for different positions, then calibration can be performed on different ADAS devices, but the process becomes time-consuming and labor-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration device is designed with a movable mounting structure that enables a single device to perform calibration at multiple positions. The support assembly with adjustable legs and the movable mounting plate allow the calibration device to adapt to different ADAS sensor positions without requiring multiple separate calibration devices, thus resolving the contradiction between versatility and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The calibration device incorporates dynamic elements including adjustable legs for height and angle adjustment, and a movable mounting plate that can be repositioned along the support structure. These dynamic features enable the device to quickly adapt to different calibration positions, eliminating the need for complete removal and remounting, thereby reducing calibration time while maintaining versatility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the calibration device is removed and remounted for different positions, then calibration can be performed on different ADAS devices, but consistency of the calibration device is affected
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a universal calibration device with adjustable positioning capabilities, the system ensures consistent calibration quality across different ADAS devices. The standardized mounting interface and controlled adjustment mechanisms maintain calibration consistency while enabling versatility across different sensor types and positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the manual removal and remounting process with a controlled mechanical adjustment system. The movable mounting plate and adjustable support structure provide precise, repeatable positioning through mechanical means, ensuring calibration consistency while enabling adaptation to different devices.
3Device complexity
If a fixed calibration device is used, then mounting is simple, but it cannot calibrate devices at different positions efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration device incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through movable mounting plates and adjustable support legs, allowing the device to adapt to different positions without significantly increasing mounting complexity. The mechanical adjustment mechanisms are designed to be operator-friendly, maintaining relative simplicity while dramatically improving calibration efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds spatial flexibility by introducing vertical adjustment capability through movable mounting plates that can slide along the support structure, and angular adjustment through adjustable legs. This dimensional freedom allows efficient calibration of devices at various positions without complicating the fundamental mounting approach.
