Smart Cruise Control Position Detection Using Movable Examination Plate
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing examination devices for smart cruise control (SCC) in vehicles fail to accurately recognize changed mounting positions across different vehicle models, leading to degraded marketability and safety.
Innovation Solution
An automatic examination device with a horizontally movable base plate and vertically elevating part examining plate, equipped with corner reflectors and a sensing unit, allows for precise examination of SCC mounting positions by adjusting the examining plate's position according to specific vehicle models, enabling both horizontal and vertical movement to accommodate various SCC configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the examination device uses a fixed position examining plate, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot recognize changed mounting positions of SCC across different vehicle models
Solution Approach 1:
The examining plate is transformed from a fixed structure to a movable one, capable of horizontal and vertical displacement. The horizontal moving unit allows the examining plate to adjust its position along the horizontal direction, while the vertical moving unit enables adjustment in the vertical direction. This dynamic positioning capability allows the examination device to adapt to different mounting positions of SCC across various vehicle models.
2Measurement precision
If the examination device adds horizontal and vertical movement capability to the examining plate, then it can examine SCC at different mounting positions, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning system is divided into independent functional modules: a horizontal moving unit responsible for horizontal displacement and a vertical moving unit responsible for vertical displacement. Each unit operates independently with its own driving mechanism, allowing for precise control of the examining plate's position in two dimensions while maintaining modular architecture that simplifies overall system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the examining plate is moved horizontally and vertically to accommodate different vehicle models, then measurement accuracy improves, but the device becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The examination device incorporates automatic control functionality where the controller automatically manages the horizontal and vertical moving units based on the specific vehicle model being examined. This self-service capability eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the examining plate position, allowing the system to automatically adapt to different vehicle models and SCC mounting positions, thereby maintaining ease of operation despite the enhanced adaptability.

AI summary
An automatic examination device of parts for a vehicle allows examination of smart cruise control (SCC) even though the SCC is mounted on different model vehicles. The automatic examination device includes: a base plate provided to be horizontally movable, a part examining plate automatically examining the part for the vehicle; and an elevating part provided on the base plate and vertically moving the part examining plate. It is possible to improve workability and examination reliability by allowing the parts to be automatically examined according to the position of the smart cruise control mounted in the vehicle by moving the position of the part examining plate according to the vehicle model for the different mounting positions of the smart cruise control for each vehicle model to thereby flexibly deal with several vehicle models.
