Wheel Correction Unit Control for Multi-Vehicle Posture Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing posture correction apparatuses are limited to specific vehicle types, primarily passenger vehicles, and face challenges when applied to commercial vehicles due to size, installation space, and potential damage to vehicle equipment.
Innovation Solution
A posture correction apparatus with multiple correction units for vehicle wheels, including conveyors and lifters, controlled by a centralized system, allowing independent operation of each unit to correct yaw, roll, and pitch angles, suitable for a wider range of vehicle types including commercial vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a posture correction apparatus is designed for passenger vehicles, then the correction mechanism can be optimized for passenger vehicle dimensions, but the apparatus becomes limited to specific vehicle types and cannot accommodate commercial vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing the posture correction apparatus with adjustable correction units that can accommodate different vehicle types. The correction units are configured to be adaptable to various wheel positions and vehicle dimensions, allowing the same apparatus to serve both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles without requiring complete redesign
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics through adjustable and reconfigurable correction units that can modify their position and orientation based on the vehicle type. The apparatus can dynamically adjust correction parameters such as lateral displacement amounts and vertical lifting heights to match different vehicle specifications
2Ease of operation
If the correction apparatus uses a centralized control system for all correction units, then coordination is simplified, but the ability to independently adjust each wheel's correction is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the control system into hierarchical levels: a centralized control unit that coordinates overall correction operations and individual correction units that can independently adjust their parameters. This segmented approach allows both centralized coordination and independent adjustment capabilities to coexist
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by allowing each correction unit to have independent adjustment capabilities for its specific wheel position, while still being part of a centrally coordinated system. Each correction unit can locally adapt its correction parameters based on specific wheel requirements while maintaining overall vehicle posture coordination

AI summary
A posture correction apparatus includes: a plurality of correction units corresponding to a plurality of wheels of a vehicle; and a control apparatus that controls the correction units, wherein the correction units includes a conveyor that moves a corresponding wheel in a left-right direction of the vehicle, and a lifter that moves the conveyor in an up-down direction, and the control apparatus independently controls at least an operation of the lifter 20 of each correction unit.
