Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle state checking devices face challenges in providing a stable and accurate measurement for both tire tread and brake disc detection, as they require different base sizes, leading to complex operations and unstable support, affecting the instrument's appearance and integrity.

Innovation Solution

A check device with a telescopic base system comprising a first base body with a hollow structure and a second base body that can be accommodated or extended within the first base body, using a locking mechanism with a track groove, rotating groove, and locking block to adjust the base size, allowing for compatible tire tread and brake disc detection without base replacement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a large base is used for tire tread detection, then the support stability is improved, but the device cannot pass through the hub spoke for brake disc detection

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesupport stabilityVSAvoidcompatibility for different detection scenes

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The base is designed with a telescopic structure that allows it to dynamically change its size. The second base body can slide relative to the first base body, enabling the base to extend for tire tread detection and retract for brake disc detection, thus adapting to different detection scenes while maintaining support stability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The second base body is nested within the hollow structure of the first base body. When retracted, the second base body fits inside the first base body, allowing the base to pass through the hub spoke. When extended, the second base body slides out to provide a larger support surface for tire tread detection

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If bases of different sizes are replaced, then the adaptability for different detection scenes is improved, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompatibility for different detection scenesVSAvoidoperation complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple base sizes are merged into a single telescopic base structure. The first and second base bodies form an integrated unit that can automatically adjust its size, eliminating the need to manually replace different base components for different detection scenes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The base incorporates a sliding mechanism with locking blocks and track grooves that allow the second base body to move relative to the first base body. This dynamic adjustment capability enables operators to switch between different base sizes by simply sliding the second base body in or out, significantly reducing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If bases of different sizes are replaced, then the adaptability for different detection scenes is improved, but the support stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompatibility for different detection scenesVSAvoidsupport stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The telescopic base maintains support stability through its locking mechanism. When the second base body is extended or retracted, the locking blocks engage with the track grooves to secure the base at the desired position, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring stable support for accurate detection

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The base is divided into a first base body and a second base body that can move independently. This segmentation allows the base to adjust its size while maintaining structural integrity through the sliding and locking mechanism, ensuring stable support during detection

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Adaptability or versatility

If an externally hung base is used, then the adaptability for different detection scenes is improved, but the appearance integrity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompatibility for different detection scenesVSAvoidappearance integrity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The second base body is nested within the hollow structure of the first base body. When retracted, it fits inside the first base body, presenting a clean, integrated appearance. When extended, it slides out smoothly to provide the necessary support surface, maintaining aesthetic integrity while enabling adaptability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A check device includes a check device body; and a base, comprising a first base body, a second base body, and a locking mechanism. The check device body is mounted to the first base body; part of the second base body can be accommodated in an inner cavity of the first base body; the second base body can move with respect to the first base body; part of the second base body can be accommodated in or extend out of the inner cavity of the first base body; and the locking mechanism is used for locking the second base body with respect to the first base body, such that the part of the second base body is accommodated in the inner cavity of the first base body, and unlocking the second base body with respect to the first base body, such that the part of the second base body extends out of the inner cavity of the first base body. The check device can be used for checking a brake disc of a vehicle and can also check a tread surface of a tire, and is stable and effective.
