Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a detection plate matching the brake space is used for detection, then the detection can be performed, but the detection efficiency is low and the detection effect is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical detection plate method with an automated detection device that uses a probe driven by a servo motor along guide rails to measure the brake space. This substitution of mechanical manual detection with automated mechanical positioning and measurement systems significantly improves both detection precision and efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The detection device automatically positions itself using the servo motor and guide rail system, and the probe self-adjusts to measure different points in the brake space without manual intervention. The spring mechanism automatically resets the probe position, enabling autonomous repeated measurements
2Extent of automation
If manual detection methods are used, then the detection can be performed, but it cannot meet the needs of automated production
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual detection operations with an automated detection system featuring a servo motor that precisely controls the probe movement along guide rails. This automated mechanical system integrates with production lines, enabling seamless incorporation into automated wheel manufacturing processes while maintaining high measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs preliminary positioning actions through the servo motor and guide rail system before measurement begins. The probe is pre-positioned at the starting point of the brake space measurement, and the spring mechanism pre-loads the probe for immediate engagement with the workpiece, enabling rapid automated detection cycles

Function Achieved in This Case
The device achieves precise detection of the wheel brake space, ensuring qualified assembly with characteristics of simplicity, ease of manufacture, stability, and high positioning accuracy, making it suitable for automatic batch production.
Implementation Method 1
the spring always has elasticity, so that the inner ends of the contacts always compress the synchronous cam
Implementation Method 2
the cambered surfaces uniformly distributed on the side wall of the synchronous cam push the series of contacts to move synchronously toward radially outward
Implementation Method 3
The first servo motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate with high precision through the first bearing
Implementation Method 4
The rotary cylinder, through the second bearing and the shaft, may drive the synchronous cam to rotate
Implementation Method 5
the first sliding frame is connected to the first ball screw through the first lead screw nut, wherein the first lead screw nut meshes with the first ball screw
