Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current calibration brackets for vehicle-mounted driver assistant systems are cumbersome, difficult to move, and occupy a large area, making them inefficient for transportation and use.
Innovation Solution
A calibration bracket with a foldable beam assembly and a stand assembly that includes a driving mechanism, allowing the bracket to be compactly folded for easy transportation and quickly unfolded for use, featuring a beam assembly with supporting rods and fixing blocks to securely hold calibration elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional calibration bracket is used to hold calibration elements, then the calibration function is achieved, but the bracket occupies a 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) that can be folded relative to each other. This segmentation allows the bracket to be disassembled into compact segments for easy storage and transportation, while maintaining the full calibration area when assembled and used.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a calibration bracket with sufficient span is used to accommodate calibration elements, then the calibration coverage is improved, but the device becomes more complex and harder to assemble
Solution Approach 1:
The beam portions are connected through rotatable connections, allowing the bracket structure to dynamically adjust between an extended configuration for comprehensive calibration coverage and a folded configuration for easy assembly and storage. This dynamic design provides versatility without permanent complexity.

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 is supported by the stand assembly, and includes a beam, the beam being configured to mount a calibration element and including a left beam portion, a right beam portion and a connecting portion, the connecting portion being supported by the stand assembly, one end of the connecting portion being pivotally connected to the left beam portion, and the other end of the connecting portion being pivotally connected to the right beam portion. In the foregoing structure, the left beam portion and the right beam portion can respectively rotate toward each other relative to the connecting portion, to fold the beam assembly, so that a volume of the calibration bracket can be reduced to facilitate shipment.
