Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional calibration bracket is used, then the calibration function is achieved, 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 entire structure to be folded into a compact configuration for easy movement and storage while maintaining the calibration functionality when deployed.
2Reliability
If a stable calibration bracket is used, then calibration accuracy is improved, but the structure becomes complicated and difficult 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 stability during calibration operations, resolving the contradiction between reliability and assembly complexity.
3Volume of moving object
If the calibration bracket is made compact, then transportation is easier, but the calibration elements become difficult to move
Solution Approach 1:
The pivot connections enable the beam portions to be folded into a compact configuration for transportation, reducing the overall volume. When deployed for calibration, the same pivot connections allow the beam portions to be extended and repositioned, ensuring that calibration elements remain easily movable. This dynamic structure resolves the contradiction between compactness 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.
