Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional calibration bracket is used, then calibration function is provided, but the bracket occupies large area and is difficult to move
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration bracket is divided into multiple beam portions (first beam portion, second beam portion, third beam portion) connected by connecting portions with pivot connections. This segmentation allows each portion to be independently positioned and the overall structure to be folded into a compact configuration for easy movement and storage while maintaining the calibration function when deployed.
2Reliability
If a stable calibration bracket is used, then calibration accuracy is maintained, but the bracket becomes complicated to assemble
Solution Approach 1:
The beam portions are connected through pivot connections that allow dynamic adjustment and folding of the bracket structure. This dynamic design enables the bracket to be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining stable geometric relationships when deployed, ensuring calibration accuracy without excessive assembly complexity.
3Volume of moving object
If the calibration bracket is made compact, then it is easier to transport, but the calibration elements become difficult to move
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is segmented into multiple movable beam portions connected by pivots, allowing the structure to fold into a compact configuration for transport. When deployed, these same segments can be positioned to provide adequate space and accessibility for moving calibration elements, thus achieving both compact storage and operational mobility.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the field of vehicle correction, and provides a calibration system and a calibration bracket thereof. The calibration bracket includes: a base, a stand assembly and a beam assembly. The stand assembly is fixedly connected to the base. The beam assembly includes a first beam portion, a second beam portion and a connecting portion, the connecting portion being mounted to the stand assembly, one end of the connecting portion being hinged to the first beam portion, and the other end of the connecting portion being hinged to the second beam portion. The first beam portion and the second beam portion can respectively rotate toward each other relative to the connecting portion, so that the beam assembly can be folded. The first beam portion and the second beam portion can also respectively rotate away from each other relative to the connecting portion, so that the beam assembly can be unfolded. In the foregoing structure, the first beam portion and the second beam portion can respectively rotate toward each other relative to the connecting portion, so that the beam assembly is folded, thereby reducing a volume of the calibration bracket to facilitate shipment.
