Vehicle Brake Pressure Controller Standardized Sensor Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle brake pressure controllers require extensive reevaluation of sensor and vehicle characteristics for output value conversion when sensors or vehicle types change, leading to inefficiencies in adapting to different installations and specifications.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle brake pressure controller with a conversion processing section that standardizes sensor output and a correction processing section that adjusts based on vehicle-specific characteristics, allowing independent changes to sensor specifications and vehicle types without full reexamination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the sensor is changed to improve specifications or reduce cost, then the sensor performance or cost is improved, but the entire conversion processing must be reexamined considering both sensor output characteristics and vehicle characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the conversion processing into two independent sections: a conversion processing section that handles sensor output characteristics and a correction processing section that handles vehicle characteristics. This segmentation allows the conversion processing section to be changed when sensors are replaced without requiring reexamination of the correction processing section, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces standardized format as an intermediary between the sensor and the vehicle-specific processing. The conversion processing section converts sensor outputs to this standardized format, which then serves as a universal interface for the correction processing section. This intermediary layer decouples the sensor-specific and vehicle-specific processing, allowing independent modifications.
2Ease of manufacture
If the sensor is changed to reduce cost, then the cost is reduced, but the entire conversion processing must be reexamined
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the processing into conversion and correction sections, the patent enables independent modification of the conversion processing section when cost-reduced sensors are introduced. The correction processing section remains unchanged, significantly reducing the time required for system reevaluation and validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The standardized format serves as a universal interface that can accommodate different sensor types and specifications. This universality allows cost-reduced sensors with different output characteristics to be integrated without requiring changes to the correction processing section, thereby reducing both cost and reevaluation time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle brake pressure controller is installed in a different type of vehicle, then the controller can be applied to multiple vehicle types, but the output values of the sensor are required to be converted considering installation posture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the conversion processing (handling sensor output characteristics) from the correction processing (handling vehicle-specific characteristics including installation posture). This segmentation allows the correction processing section to be adjusted for different vehicle types without changing the conversion processing section, maintaining adaptability while managing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The standardized format acts as an intermediary that decouples the sensor processing from vehicle-specific processing. This allows the same conversion processing section to serve multiple vehicle types, with only the correction processing section needing adjustment for different installation postures and vehicle characteristics.
Data Source
AI summary
In one embodiment, a vehicle brake pressure controller includes: a sensor and a control section. The sensor detects a dynamic characteristic quantity of a vehicle, and outputs it as first information. The control section includes: an input section configured to receive the first information; a conversion processing section configured to convert the first information into second information having a standardized format; and a correction processing section configured to correct the second information into third information, depending on the vehicle. Hence, the control section performs a brake pressure control based on the third information.
