Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing calibration methods for Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) are cumbersome due to the inconvenient attachment and detachment of lasers using screws, which complicates the process.
Innovation Solution
A calibration device featuring a magnetic element that attracts and secures the laser assembly to a calibration bracket, allowing for easy mounting and detachment by overcoming magnetic forces, along with a movable platform and protection chain to prevent loss and damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If screws are used to fix the laser on the calibration bracket, then the laser is securely fixed, but the attachment and detachment process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical screw-fixing system with a magnetic field-based attraction system. The magnetic element mounted on the calibration bracket automatically attracts and secures the laser assembly containing ferromagnetic particles, eliminating the need for manual screw operations and enabling quick attachment and detachment without tools.
2Ease of operation
If magnetic elements are used to attract the laser assembly, then attachment and detachment become convenient, but the securing force may be insufficient compared to screws
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by concentrating ferromagnetic particles specifically at the contact interface between the laser assembly and the calibration bracket. This localized concentration of magnetic susceptibility enhances the magnetic attraction force precisely where it is needed for secure fixation, while maintaining the overall convenience of the magnetic attachment system.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates convenient and secure attachment and detachment of the laser assembly, improving operational efficiency and reducing the risk of damage during use and storage.
Implementation Method 1
The magnetic element is mounted on one of the laser assembly and the loading platform, and is configured to attract the other of the laser assembly and the loading platform

AI summary
A calibration device is provided. The calibration device includes a laser assembly, a calibration bracket and a magnetic element. The calibration bracket includes a loading platform which is configured to support the laser assembly. The magnetic element is mounted on one of the laser assembly and the loading platform, and is configured to attract the other of the laser assembly and the loading platform. By means of arranging the magnetic element on one of the loading platform and the laser assembly, the magnetic element can attract the other of the loading platform and the laser assembly, so that when the laser assembly needs to be mounted on the loading platform, the laser assembly only needs to approach the loading platform and the laser assembly will be attracted to the loading platform due to the magnetic force provided by the magnetic element.
