Solution Overview
Problem
Existing safe driving assistance systems face challenges in precisely adjusting the mounting angle of detectors, such as cameras, in road observation apparatuses, leading to fluctuations in detection accuracy.
Innovation Solution
An adjustment device comprising a first member with a base for mounting detectors, a second member attached through a first shaft allowing rotational adjustment, an adjustment member to restrict rotation and define a rotation range, and elastic members to stabilize the angle, enabling precise adjustment of detector angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mounting angle of the detector is adjusted manually, then the adjustment flexibility is improved, but the mounting angle stability deteriorates due to fluctuations
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic member acts as an intermediary between the first member (detector mounting base) and the second member (support structure). It provides a restoring force that stabilizes the mounting angle while allowing manual adjustment through the adjustment member, thus resolving the contradiction between adjustment flexibility and angle stability
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static fixed mounting to a dynamic adjustable mounting with elastic restoration. The first member can rotate relative to the second member through the first shaft, allowing angle adjustment, while the elastic member provides dynamic restoring force to maintain stability, achieving both flexibility and stability
2Stability of the object's composition
If the detector mounting angle is fixed, then the mounting angle stability is improved, but the detection accuracy deteriorates due to inability to adjust to optimal angles
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system allows dynamic adjustment of the detector angle through rotation of the first member relative to the second member, enabling optimization of detection accuracy. The elastic member ensures that once adjusted, the angle remains stable, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and detection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system is divided into separable components (first member, second member, adjustment member) that can be independently adjusted. This segmentation allows the detector to be positioned at optimal angles for detection accuracy while maintaining overall system stability
