Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a two-line laser emitter is designed without adjustment mechanisms, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation and adjustability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces rotation adjustment screws and swing adjustment screws that enable dynamic adjustment of the laser emitter's orientation. The rotation adjustment screws allow adjustment around the optical axis, while the swing adjustment screws allow adjustment in the vertical plane, transforming a static structure into a dynamically adjustable one without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment mechanism is segmented into independent rotation adjustment and swing adjustment components. The rotation adjustment screws handle angular adjustment around the optical axis, while the swing adjustment screws handle vertical plane adjustment, allowing independent control of different adjustment dimensions to reduce overall system complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If multi-line laser emitters are used when only two lines are required, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of manufacture and cost efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and implements only the essential two laser emission lines needed for automobile calibration, removing unnecessary additional laser elements from multi-line emitters. This extraction approach maintains adaptability for the specific calibration application while simplifying manufacturing and assembly processes
3Ease of operation
If adjustment mechanisms are added to enable multi-dimensional adjustment, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanism is designed with universal adjustment screws that can perform multiple adjustment functions. The rotation adjustment screws and swing adjustment screws work together to provide both angular adjustment around the optical axis and vertical plane adjustment, allowing a compact design with fewer components than separate adjustment mechanisms for each degree of freedom

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a two-line laser emitter. The two-line laser emitter includes a housing, a laser emitter base mounted inside the housing, an elastic clamping member, a laser emitter and a pair of rotation adjustment screws. The laser emitter base has a laser emitter mounting hole. The elastic clamping member is mounted in the laser emitter mounting hole. The laser emitter is mounted in the laser emitter mounting hole, and one end of the laser emitter is inserted into the elastic clamping member. The laser emitter is configured to emit a planar ray of light out of the housing. A pair of rotation adjustment screws are disposed in the laser emitter base and located on the same side of a central axial plane of the laser emitter. The pair of rotation adjustment screws abut against a side wall of the laser emitter in opposite directions on the same straight line. Each of the rotation adjustment screws is adjustable to slightly adjust a rotation angle of the planar ray of light emitted by the laser emitter. By means of the structure described above, emission angles of different laser emitters can be adjusted by using the two-line laser emitter, thus helping users perform self-calibration.
