(Prior Art) The applicant of the present application previously disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 60-142627 that while the wheels suspended on the vehicle body are rotated in a rotating drum, the longitudinal and vertical displacements of the lower arm can be measured using an optical displacement method. We proposed a system that measures the unbalance of the wheel by detecting it with a detector and determining the amplitude of the lower arm from the change in displacement.

(Operation) A bright spot is formed on the surface of the spring plate by the light rays from the light source of the displacement detector, and a bright spot with high brightness is imaged in the imaging area by the reflected light from the surface of the spring plate with good surface roughness. . Here, the spring plate is in close contact with the unsprung component due to its own elasticity and is displaced together with the unsprung component, so that the position of the bright spot in the imaging section changes due to the light reflected from the spring plate. Displacement can be detected accurately.
