DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC CORRECTION OF VEHICLE LIGHTS POSITION Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: device for automatic correction of vehicle lights position has strain-gages mounted within vehicle tyres, pressure detectors, electric power source, multichannel booster, analog-code transformer connected with booster ends, memory block, comparison block joint to the memory block outlet, angular position detectors engaged with the lights turning optical members. Sensor members of pressure detectors are connected with inner hollows of tyres. Usage of strain-gages enables to determine tyre deformation depending on tyre pressure and on tyre load. Presence of detectors makes it possible to determine pressure in tyres. Connected in series with each other multichannel booster, analog-code transformer, memory block and comparison block make it possible to transform electrical signals got from detectors, compare them and send controlling signals to hydraulic corrector drive which replaces the main cylinder piston changing pressure of liquid in hydraulic corrector system. Due to it angular position of side members of lights and a slope of light beam changes accordingly. EFFECT: enhanced correction preciseness. 2 dwg
