Solution Overview
Problem
Four-wheel aligners on the market suffer from poor integration and portability, leading to inconvenience for operators due to their large number of components.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle detection apparatus is provided with a mounting seat, first and second position reference modules, a control module, and image acquisition modules, which are integrated on a mounting seat to facilitate four-wheel alignment detection, reducing the number of devices needed and simplifying operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate devices are used for four-wheel alignment detection, then detection functionality is complete, but device complexity increases and portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple detection devices into a single integrated vehicle detection apparatus. The mounting seat serves as a unified platform that holds the image acquisition module, position reference module, and control module, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices while maintaining complete four-wheel alignment detection functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting seat is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate various modules for different detection functions. It serves as a multi-functional base that integrates image acquisition, position reference, and control operations, allowing one device to perform multiple detection tasks that previously required separate specialized devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate devices are used for four-wheel alignment detection, then detection coverage is comprehensive, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple detection devices into one integrated apparatus with a unified mounting seat, the patent reduces the number of operations required. The operator只需 one device to perform all four-wheel alignment detections, eliminating the complexity of managing and coordinating multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated apparatus is designed to perform all necessary detection functions autonomously through its unified control module, which coordinates the image acquisition and position reference modules automatically, reducing the operational burden on the user compared to managing multiple independent devices.
3Measurement precision
If multiple separate devices are used for four-wheel alignment detection, then detection accuracy can be maintained, but portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple detection functions into a single portable apparatus. The integrated mounting seat design allows the entire detection system to be consolidated into one unit that maintains detection accuracy while improving portability, as operators no longer need to transport and set up multiple separate devices.
