Patent number: 11466981Abstract: System for diagnosing the wheel alignment of a vehicle includes a measuring device configured to measure a characteristic parameter of the wheel alignment, wherein the measuring device comprises a wireless communication device to remotely transmit a signal related to the characteristic parameter. The system further comprises a portable remote device, distinct and separate from the measuring device, having a wireless communication device to remotely receive the signal related to the measured characteristic parameter, and a control unit adapted to receive the related signal from the wireless communication device and to carry out a step of processing the signal to derive a value of the characteristic parameter. The portable remote device further has a screen to display a characteristic information representative of the value of the characteristic parameter, and a battery connected to the wireless communication device, to the control unit and to the screen to allow their respective operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Space S.R.L.Inventors: Massimo Mambrilla, Alberto Gasperini, Giampiero Massa

Patent number: 9453724Abstract: A detection device for determining the orientation of a first and a second wheel of a vehicle, the wheels being arranged on a first side of the vehicle with respect to a longitudinal axis thereof. The device is set laterally with respect to the vehicle on the first side, between the first and second wheels, and has a first and a second image-acquisition elements located on a base support having a respective viewing area for acquiring images of a first and a second target coupled to the first and second wheels. A displacement unit is operatively coupled to the first and second image acquisition elements for rotating them simultaneously through the same angle of rotation so as to adapt their viewing area to the position of the first and second targets. The detection device comprises additional alignment sensors located on the base support for measuring calibration parameters of the base support.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: SPACE S.R.L.

Patent number: 9300864Abstract: A system for determining the orientation of at least one first wheel of a vehicle and provided with: at least one first target integrally coupled to the first wheel, an image-capturing device that acquires a first two-dimensional image of the first target and a processing device, operatively connected to the image-capturing device and processing the first two-dimensional image. The first target has a three-dimensional shape suitable for defining geometric quantities arranged according to a known three-dimensional arrangement; the processing device processes the first two-dimensional image to identify the projections of the geometric quantities and determine a spatial arrangement of the first target with respect to a reference system based on the geometrical characteristics of the projections, to determine the orientation characteristics of the first wheel.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2011Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: SPACE S.R.L.

Publication number: 20140002638Abstract: A detection device (7a) for determining the orientation of a first and a second wheel (2) of a vehicle (3), the wheels being arranged on a first side of the vehicle (3) with respect to a longitudinal axis thereof (A). The device is set laterally with respect to the vehicle (3) on the first side, between the first and second wheels, and has a first (8) and a second image—acquisition elements (8?) located on a base support (16) having a respective viewing area (V) for acquiring images of a first and a second target (5) coupled to the first and second wheels, respectively. A displacement unit (10) is operatively coupled to the first (8) and second (8?) image-acquisition elements for rotating them simultaneously through one and the same angle of rotation so as to adapt their viewing area to the position of the first and second targets (5).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2011Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: SPACE S.r.l. con Unico SocioInventors: Piero Cerruti, Fausto Manganelli
