Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional calibration jigs for measurement apparatuses with multiple imaging units face challenges in orienting multiple elements in various directions and require complex operation control, making precise calibration difficult, especially for large or complex measurement targets.
Innovation Solution
A calibration jig with a frame part and a mechanism that includes a rotation mechanism and swinging mechanisms to rotate and swing the frame about multiple axes, allowing for precise orientation of elements without complex operation control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional calibration jig is used, then the structure is simple, but the elements to be measured cannot be oriented in various directions
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration jig employs dynamic positioning mechanisms including a rotation mechanism that rotates the frame part about a first axis, a first swinging mechanism that swings the frame part about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, and a second swinging mechanism that swings the frame part about a third axis orthogonal to both the first and second axes. This dynamic multi-axis positioning system enables elements to be oriented in various directions while maintaining manageable operational complexity through systematic control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional calibration jig is used, then the operation control is simple, but complicated operation control is required to orient elements in various directions
Solution Approach 1:
The frame part serves multiple functions by integrating rotation and swinging mechanisms that enable the same structural component to orient elements in various directions through coordinated multi-axis movement. This universal design allows a single calibration jig to handle diverse measurement requirements without requiring separate specialized devices for each orientation, thereby maintaining ease of operation while achieving versatile positioning capability.
