Method for adjusting detection axis of object detection system
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting a detection axis of an object detection system in which object detection means having a predetermined detection direction (ArO) is fixed within a casing having a reference plane (P) on the outer face thereof, the method comprising the following steps:
- detecting an angular difference between the predetermined detection direction (ArO) and an object detection axis (Ar) of the object detection means in an initially fixed state of the object detection means relative to the casing;
fixing to the casing a adjusting member having a first base surface and a second base surface, between which a wedge shape is formed, the adjusting member being mountable in rotationally different positions on the reference plane (P) of the casing with the first base surface being a mounting surface, wherein the adjusting member is fixed, based on the angular difference between the predetermined detection direction (ArO) and the object detection axis (Ar), at a rotational position wherein the direction of the second base surface coincides with the object detection axis (Ar) in a state wherein the adjusting member is mounted on the reference plane (P) of the casing; and
adjusting the angle of the casing wherein a direction of the second base surface has a predetermined relationship relative to the predetermined detection direction (ArO).

Abstract
A method for adjusting a detection axis of an object detection system, wherein a disk-shaped adjusting member is fixed to a reference plane on an outer face of a casing, wherein the rotational position of the adjusting member is adjusted. The adjusting member has first and second base surfaces, between which a wedge shape is formed. Rotating the adjusting member finely adjusts the angle of the second base surface relative to the reference plane of the casing, thereby resulting in the direction of the second base surface coinciding with the direction of an object detection axis of a radar mechanism part fixed within the casing. The direction of the object detection axis can be adjusted in the horizontal direction by placing a level on the second base surface of the adjusting member and adjusting the mounting angle of the casing so the level indicates a horizontal direction.
