Adjusting Device Target With Integrated Laser Source
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adjustment devices for vehicles require extensive preparations and alignments on the vehicle itself, making them cumbersome and time-consuming, especially when calibrating sensors like radar and image sensors.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a target and laser source mounted on an adjusting device, where vertical and horizontal laser lines are used to align the target with reference lines on the vehicle, allowing for quick and easy adjustment without additional vehicle preparations, using existing edges or lines as reference points.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional adjustment devices are used with extensive vehicle preparations, then measurement precision can be achieved, but adjustment time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-mounting the laser source at a predetermined position on the target, so that when the target is installed on the adjusting device, the laser source is already in the correct position to generate alignment laser lines. This eliminates the need for separate laser alignment steps and enables quick alignment using existing vehicle edges or lines as references.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies self-service by utilizing existing edges or lines on the vehicle body as reference lines for alignment. The system uses the vehicle's own structural features rather than requiring external reference equipment, allowing the adjustment process to be self-contained and eliminating the need for additional vehicle preparations or external alignment tools.
2Measurement precision
If traditional adjustment devices require additional vehicle preparations, then accurate alignment can be achieved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by utilizing existing edges or lines on the vehicle body as reference lines for alignment. The system uses the vehicle's own structural features rather than requiring external reference equipment, allowing the adjustment process to be self-contained and eliminating the need for additional vehicle preparations or external alignment tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies taking out by extracting the alignment reference function from external equipment and using the vehicle's own structural features as references. This removes the need for additional alignment tools or complex setup procedures, simplifying the operation while maintaining accuracy.
3Reliability
If comprehensive vehicle preparations are made for adjustment, then adjustment reliability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by utilizing existing edges or lines on the vehicle body as reference lines for alignment. The system uses the vehicle's own structural features rather than requiring external reference equipment, allowing the adjustment process to be self-contained and eliminating the need for additional vehicle preparations or external alignment tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by designing the target with an integrated laser source that can provide alignment functionality for any vehicle type using existing structural features as references. This multi-functional design allows the same device to work across different applications without requiring vehicle-specific preparations or complex adaptation.
