OPTICAL AXIS POSITION ADJUSTING METHOD AND OPTICAL AXIS POSITION ADJUSTER FOR IN-VEHICLE CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462763 titled 'OPTICAL AXIS POSITION ADJUSTING METHOD AND OPTICAL AXIS POSITION ADJUSTER FOR IN-VEHICLE CAMERA

Simplified Explanation

An optical axis position adjuster includes a target board, a leg portion, and an installation auxiliary jig that connects the leg portion and the vehicle. The leg portions can be installed horizontally with respect to the ground. The installation auxiliary jig is connected to a connecting portion provided in the leg portion and is connected to an emblem provided in the vehicle. The connecting portion is disposed at the center of the leg portion, and the emblem is disposed at the center of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, it is possible to connect the vehicle and the leg portions such that the center of the target board and the center of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction coincide with each other in a plan view.

  • Target board, leg portion, and installation auxiliary jig are key components.
  • Leg portions can be installed horizontally with respect to the ground.
  • Installation auxiliary jig connects the leg portion and the vehicle.
  • Connecting portion in the leg portion connects to the emblem in the vehicle.
  • Allows for precise alignment of the target board with the center of the vehicle.
