Abstract

A rotation calculating device comprising: a first rotating device; a first target device; an first optical characteristic acquiring device, configured to acquire optical characteristics for at least one feature of the first target device; and a calculating unit, configured to calculate rotation for the first rotating device based on the optical characteristics of the feature.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rotation calculating system, comprising:
a first optical characteristic acquiring device, configured to acquire optical characteristics for at least one feature of a first target device; and
a calculating unit, configured to calculate rotation for a first rotating device based on the optical characteristics of the feature of the first target device;
wherein the first rotating device is a wheel, and the first target device is a hub connected to the wheel;
wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device is located in a wheel axle, wherein the wheel axle is located in the first target device, wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device is configured to acquire the optical characteristics for the feature of an inner surface of the first target device;
wherein the wheel axle is a quick release;
wherein the wheel axle further comprises seal material provided on the wheel axle, wherein the seal material is provided between the wheel axle and the first target device and provides a confined space for a part of the wheel axle while the wheel axle is inside the first target device.

2. The rotation calculating system of claim 1 , wherein the wheel axle further comprises a mistake-proofing component configured to indicate a direction for assembling the wheel axle to the first target device.

3. The rotation calculating system of claim 1 , wherein the wheel axle comprises a holder including a battery and a wireless communication device.

4. The rotation calculating system of claim 1 , wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device emits laser to the first target device and detects if a predetermined spectrum caused by the optical characteristic exists.

5. The rotation calculating system of claim 1 , wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device is an image sensor for sensing a sensing image comprising the feature of the first target device.

6. A rotation calculating system, comprising:
a first optical characteristic acquiring device, configured to acquire optical characteristics for at least one feature of a first target device; and
a calculating unit, configured to calculate rotation for a first rotating device based on the optical characteristics of the feature of the first target device;
wherein the first rotating device is a wheel, and the first target device is a hub connected to the wheel;
wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device is located in a wheel axle, wherein the wheel axle is located in the first target device, wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device is configured to acquire the optical characteristics for the feature of an inner surface of the first target device;
wherein the wheel axle is a quick release;
wherein the wheel axle further comprises a mistake-proofing component configured to indicate a direction for assembling the wheel axle to the first target device.

7. A rotation calculating system, comprising:
a first optical characteristic acquiring device, configured to acquire optical characteristics for at least one feature of a first target device; and
a calculating unit, configured to calculate rotation for a first rotating device based on the optical characteristics of the feature of the first target device;
wherein the first rotating device is a wheel, and the first target device is a hub connected to the wheel;
wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device is located in a wheel axle, wherein the wheel axle is located in the first target device, wherein the first optical characteristic acquiring device is configured to acquire the optical characteristics for the feature of an inner surface of the first target device;
wherein the wheel axle is a quick release;
wherein the wheel axle comprises a holder including a battery and a wireless communication device.

8. A rotation calculating system, comprising:
a first optical characteristic acquiring device, configured to acquire optical characteristics for at least one feature of a first target device; and
a calculating unit, configured to calculate rotation for a first rotating device based on the optical characteristics of the feature of the first target device;
wherein the rotation calculating system further comprises a second optical characteristic acquiring device, configured to acquire optical characteristics for at least one feature of a second target device;
wherein the calculating unit calculates rotation for a second rotating device based on the optical characteristics of the feature of the second target device;
wherein the first rotating device is a left car drive shaft and the first target device is a left car wheel, and the second rotating device is a right car drive shaft and the first target device is a right car wheel.
