Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automobile millimeter-wave radar fixation methods involve through holes for bolt penetration, leading to increased production complexity, reduced assembly efficiency, and poor structural stability.
Innovation Solution
A U-shaped clamping housing system with rotatable and fixed connection structures, an angle adjusting support, and a buffer gasket for secure and adjustable fixation of the millimeter-wave radar on the automobile body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If through holes are formed in radar support and automobile bumper for bolt penetration, then the radar can be fixed to the automobile body, but the production process becomes more complex and assembly efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device is divided into multiple components: a clamping assembly with first and second clamping housings, a support assembly with support blocks, and connection assemblies. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently and assembled without through holes, simplifying the production process while maintaining fixation reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The support blocks are nested within the clamping housings, with the first support blocks positioned in the first clamping housing and second support blocks in the second clamping housing. This nested structure eliminates the need for through holes while providing stable radar fixation through internal positioning mechanisms.
2Reliability
If through holes are formed in radar support and automobile bumper for bolt penetration, then the radar can be fixed to the automobile body, but assembly efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping housings and support blocks are pre-assembled into a complete fixing device before installation on the automobile. This preliminary assembly includes positioning the support blocks within the clamping housings and preparing the connection assemblies, which significantly speeds up the final installation process by eliminating the need for complex through-hole formation and bolt penetration operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing device incorporates self-aligning and self-positioning features where the support blocks automatically position themselves within the clamping housings during assembly. The connection assemblies are designed to automatically engage with the radar and automobile body, reducing the need for precise manual alignment and speeding up assembly operations.
3Reliability
If through holes are formed in radar support and automobile bumper for bolt penetration, then the radar can be fixed to the automobile body, but structural stability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device merges multiple fixation functions into a single integrated assembly. The clamping housings, support blocks, and connection assemblies work together as a unified structure that clamps the radar to the automobile body without requiring through holes. This combined structure provides enhanced structural stability by distributing fixation forces across multiple contact points.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing device utilizes composite construction with different materials optimized for specific functions: the clamping housings provide structural strength, the support blocks provide positioning accuracy, and the connection assemblies provide secure attachment. This composite approach enhances overall structural stability compared to simple through-hole bolting.
