Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rangefinder installation and adjustment mechanism and a distance measurement and photographing device using the mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Power batteries are key components of electric vehicles. During the production process, laser cleaning machines are required to clean the battery pack's terminals to facilitate subsequent welding operations. In addition to a laser cleaning head, laser cleaning machines typically include a distance-finding and camera device. This device consists of a rangefinder and a camera. The rangefinder measures the distance between the terminal and the laser cleaning head, while the camera identifies the terminal's position. Together, the rangefinder and camera accurately determine the terminal's position, allowing the laser cleaning head to accurately clean the terminal's surface.

[0003] Currently, rangefinders are typically fixed to a mounting plate, which is in turn secured to a mounting bracket via screws. While the mounting plate has slotted holes for the screws, allowing for adjustment of the mounting plate's position relative to the bracket and, consequently, the rangefinder's position (to accommodate different battery pack models), adjustments require manual support of the rangefinder after the screws are loosened. Only after the rangefinder and mounting plate are properly positioned can the mounting plate be secured with the screws. This entire manual process is not only inconvenient and labor-intensive, but also poses a risk of the rangefinder falling when held by hand. Furthermore, when removing the screws, it's crucial to ensure that the screws and wrench don't fall onto the battery pack, requiring a high level of operator skill and slowing down the adjustment process. Summary of the Invention

[0041] An embodiment of the distance measurement and photographing device of the present invention is as follows Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a rangefinder installation and adjustment mechanism for installing a rangefinder, and the rangefinder installation and adjustment mechanism includes a rangefinder mounting frame, an adjustment frame and a fixing frame, wherein the rangefinder mounting frame, the adjustment frame and the fixing frame are respectively provided in two sets and are arranged symmetrically on the left and right for installing two rangefinders.

[0042] Take the right side as an example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing frame includes a fixing plate 14 fixed on the pad 13, and a first slide rail fixing seat 12 fixed on the fixing plate 14. The first slide rail fixing seat 12 is an L-shaped structure, including a short side extending along the left and right directions and a long side extending along the front and back directions. The long side is fixed with a slide rail 15, and the slide rail 15 extends along the left and right directions.

[0043] The adjustment frame also has an L-shaped structure, comprising a first adjustment plate 8 and a second adjustment plate 24, which are vertically fixed together. The thickness of the first adjustment plate 8 extends in the front-to-back direction, while the thickness of the second adjustment plate 24 extends in the left-to-right direction. A second slider 30 is fixed to the side of the first adjustment plate 8 facing the slide rail 15. The second slider 30 and the slide rail 15 slide together in a guided left-to-right direction. The second slider 30 is provided with a guide groove that engages with the slide rail 15. The slide rail 15 has grooves extending in the left-to-right direction on its upper and lower surfaces. The guide groove of the second slider 30 is provided with a protrusion extending in the left-to-right direction. The protrusion and groove fit together to achieve a guided fit between the second slider 30 and the slide rail 15, and support the entire adjustment frame on the slide rail 15.

[0044] The first rail mount 12 is provided with a stop structure for engaging with the second slider 30 to limit the movement of the adjustment frame. This stop structure includes positioning screws, respectively mounted on the left and right ends of the first rail mount 12: a first positioning screw 42 and a second positioning screw 43. Two first positioning screws 42 and two second positioning screws 43 are provided, one located on the upper and lower sides of the rail 15. In this embodiment, the adjustment frame has two working positions: one for moving left to engage with the first positioning screw 42, and the other for moving right to engage with the second positioning screw 43. The positioning screws on both sides provide a movement standard, enabling accurate and rapid determination of the adjustment frame's movement position.

[0045] In order to fix the adjustment seat after it moves into position, a fixing structure is provided on the adjustment frame. The fixing structure in this embodiment is a clamping bolt 49 threadedly connected to the first adjustment plate 8. There are two clamping bolts 49 and they are arranged up and down. When the adjustment seat moves into position, the clamping bolt 49 is unscrewed to press it against the first slide rail fixing seat 12, thereby fixing the position of the adjustment seat.

[0046] In addition, in order to more accurately determine whether the adjustment frame has moved into position, an adjustment frame detection component for detecting whether the adjustment frame has moved into position is provided on the first slide rail fixing seat 12. The adjustment frame detection component in this embodiment includes a first photoelectric switch 6 and a second photoelectric switch 10 fixed on the upper surface of the first slide rail fixing seat 12. The first photoelectric switch 6 is used to detect whether the adjustment frame has moved to the left and into position, and the second photoelectric switch 10 is used to detect whether the adjustment frame has moved to the right and into position. In addition, a first sensor sheet 7 is fixed to the top surface of the first adjustment plate 8. When the first sensor sheet 7 moves with the adjustment frame to the position of the first photoelectric switch 6, the indicator light on the first photoelectric switch 6 lights up, allowing people to intuitively know that the adjustment frame has moved into position. Similarly, when the first sensor sheet 7 moves to the position of the second photoelectric switch 10, the indicator light on the second photoelectric switch 10 will also light up.

[0047] The rangefinder mounting frame includes a mounting plate and a first slider 22 fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The mounting plate comprises a first mounting plate 19, a second mounting plate 18, and a third mounting plate 20. The thickness of the first mounting plate 19 extends in the left-rear direction, and the first slider 22 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 19. The thickness of the second mounting plate 18 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the first and second mounting plates 19, 18 are fixedly connected vertically. The second mounting plate 18 is convex in shape, forming an upper and lower portion of the second mounting plate 18. The first mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the second mounting plate 18. The third mounting plate 20 is L-shaped, with a short side extending in the front-to-back direction and a long side extending in the left-to-right direction. The short side is fixedly connected to the lower half of the second mounting plate 18, and the first rangefinder 21 is mounted and fixed to the long side.

[0048] The third mounting plate 20 is fixed to the front side of the lower half of the second mounting plate 18. A pneumatic cylinder 33 is fixed to the rear side. A push plate 46 is fixed to the push rod of the cylinder 33. A first protective plate 34 is connected to the push plate 46. The first protective plate 34 can move left and right with the push rod of the cylinder 33. When the first rangefinder 21 is not in use, the first protective plate 34 can be moved leftward to below the first rangefinder 21 to prevent dust and debris from entering the interior of the first rangefinder, thus providing protection. When the first rangefinder 21 is in use, the first protective plate 34 can be moved rightward to clear the first rangefinder 21.

[0049] A guide rail 23 extending in the front-to-back direction is provided on the right side of the second adjustment plate 24. The first slider 22 and the guide rail 23 engage in a guided and sliding engagement in the front-to-back direction. The first slider 22 is provided with a guide groove that engages with the guide rail 23. The guide rail 23 has grooves extending in the front-to-back direction on its upper and lower surfaces. A protrusion extending in the front-to-back direction is provided within the guide groove of the first slider 22. The protrusion and the groove fit together to achieve guided engagement between the first slider 22 and the guide rail 23, and support the entire rangefinder mounting frame on the guide rail 23.

[0050] The second adjustment plate 24 is provided with a stop structure for engaging with the first slider 22 to limit its movement. This stop structure includes set screws, namely a third set screw 44 and a fourth set screw 45, mounted at the front and rear ends of the second adjustment plate 24. Two third set screws 44 and four fourth set screws 45 are provided, one located at the top and bottom of the guide rail 23. In this embodiment, the rangefinder mounting bracket has two working positions: one for forward movement to engage with the third set screw 44, and the other for rearward movement to engage with the fourth set screw 45. These set screws provide a standard for movement, enabling accurate and rapid determination of the rangefinder mounting bracket's position.

[0051] In order to fix the rangefinder mounting frame after it is moved into place, a positioning structure is provided on the rangefinder mounting frame. In this embodiment, the positioning structure is a tightening bolt 48 threadedly connected to the first mounting plate 19. There are two tightening bolts 48 arranged in a front-to-rear manner. When the rangefinder mounting frame is moved into place, the tightening bolts 48 are unscrewed to press against the guide rail 23, thereby fixing the position of the rangefinder mounting frame.

[0052] Furthermore, to more accurately determine whether the rangefinder mounting frame has been moved into position, a mounting frame detection component is provided on the second adjustment plate 24 for detecting whether the rangefinder mounting frame has been moved into position. In this embodiment, the mounting frame detection component includes a fifth photoelectric switch 25 and a sixth photoelectric switch 26 fixed to the upper surface of the second adjustment plate 24. The fifth photoelectric switch 25 is used to detect whether the rangefinder mounting frame has been moved forward into position, and the sixth photoelectric switch 26 is used to detect whether the rangefinder mounting frame has been moved backward into position. A third sensor plate 27 is fixed to the top surface of the first mounting plate 19. When the third sensor plate 27 moves with the rangefinder mounting frame to the position of the fifth photoelectric switch 25, the indicator light of the fifth photoelectric switch 25 illuminates. When the third sensor plate 27 moves to the position of the sixth photoelectric switch 26, the indicator light of the sixth photoelectric switch 26 illuminates, thereby intuitively notifying the user that the adjustment frame has been moved into position.

[0053] The rangefinder and photographic device of the present invention also includes a camera mounted on a fixed frame. Specifically, a first screw mounting plate 11 is fixed to the top surface of a fixed plate 14. A first adjustment screw 9 is mounted on the first screw mounting plate 11. Specifically, the first screw mounting plate 11 is provided with a forward-facing U-shaped groove, and the first adjustment screw 9 is provided with a constricted section that engages within the U-shaped groove, thereby limiting the vertical movement of the first adjustment screw 9 while not affecting its rotation. A camera mounting plate 31 is connected to the lower portion of the first adjustment screw 9. A CCD camera 17 is fixed to the camera mounting plate 31. The camera mounting plate 31 is guided in the vertical direction with the fixed plate 14. Specifically, the fixed plate 14 is provided with a vertically extending guide groove, and the camera mounting plate 31 is provided with a guide protrusion. As the first adjustment screw 9 is rotated, the camera mounting plate 31 can move up and down under the action of the screw-nut principle. In addition, in order to fix the camera mounting plate 31, a long hole extending up and down is provided on the camera mounting plate 31, and a plurality of threaded holes arranged at intervals up and down are provided on the fixing plate 14. Bolts are passed through the long holes and threadedly connected to the fixing plate 14 to fix the camera mounting plate 31.

[0054] A camera light source 32 is provided below the CCD camera 17, and the camera light source 32 is fixed to the fixed plate 14 through a light source mounting frame. The light source mounting frame includes a light source mounting plate 16 and a light source adjustment plate 47 fixed vertically together. The camera light source 32 is installed on the light source mounting plate 16. A guide protrusion is also provided on the rear side surface of the light source adjustment plate 47, and cooperates with the above-mentioned guide groove for upper and lower guidance. The light source adjustment plate 47 is also provided with a long hole extending up and down. Similarly, a plurality of threaded holes arranged at intervals up and down are provided on the fixed plate 14, which can adjust the upper and lower positions of the light source adjustment plate 47, and can be fixed by bolts.

[0055] The rangefinder mounting bracket, adjustment bracket, and fixed bracket on the left side are symmetrically designed to accommodate two rangefinders and two cameras. The fixed bracket also includes a fixed plate and a second slide rail mounting base 28 secured to the fixed plate. The same slide rail 15 is mounted on both left and right slide rail mounting bases. A second screw mounting plate 4 is secured to the fixed plate, and a second adjustment screw 2 is mounted on the second screw mounting plate 4. The second slide rail mounting base 28 also has two photoelectric switches: a third photoelectric switch 1 and a fourth photoelectric switch 5. Correspondingly, the adjustment bracket is equipped with a second sensor plate 3. Similarly, the third adjustment plate 38 of the adjustment bracket is equipped with a second guide rail 37, a seventh photoelectric switch 39, and an eighth photoelectric switch 40. The rangefinder mounting bracket is equipped with a fourth sensor plate 41. Furthermore, the rangefinder mounting bracket is equipped with a second rangefinder 35 and a second protective plate 36.

[0056] The distance measurement and photography device in this embodiment is applied to a laser cleaning machine to clean the battery pack terminals. Its working principle is as follows:

[0057] When in use, the CCD camera identifies the position of the pole, and the distance from the pole to the laser cleaning head is measured by the rangefinder. Both rangefinders are laser rangefinders, which emit laser beams 29 when in use. The laser rangefinder and the CCD camera work together to accurately obtain the position information of the pole, thereby facilitating the laser cleaning head to accurately clean the surface of the pole.

[0058] The two laser rangefinders are aligned with the two poles on the battery pack. Therefore, if the battery pack model changes, for example, if the pole spacing changes, the rangefinder mounting bracket and the adjustment bracket can be adjusted left and right to align the laser rangefinders. If the battery thickness changes, the rangefinder mounting bracket can be adjusted front and back to align the laser rangefinders. The rangefinder camera device in this embodiment is compatible with four battery pack models: one with the two rangefinder mounting brackets positioned forward, and the two adjustment brackets positioned close together in the middle, or spaced apart on either side; and another with the two rangefinder mounting brackets positioned rearward, and the two adjustment brackets positioned close together in the middle, or spaced apart on either side.

[0059] In the present invention, both left and right rail mounts are L-shaped, with the adjustment screws positioned within the space enclosed by the corresponding rail mounts and the mounting plate, resulting in a relatively compact structure. The rangefinder mounting frame is also positioned within the angular space enclosed by the L-shaped adjustment frame, further enhancing the compactness of the structure. The second mounting plate 18 of the rangefinder mounting frame is shaped like a "convex" character, effectively providing left and right notches in its upper portion. The left notch provides space for the first mounting plate 19 and first slider 22, while the right notch allows for easy access to adjust the hold-down bolt 49, resulting in a relatively compact structure.

[0060] Furthermore, the clamping bolt 49 is connected to the first adjustment plate 8. When the adjustment frame needs to be moved, the clamping bolt 49 can simply be loosened and tightened again after it is adjusted into place. The clamping bolt 49 does not need to be removed during the entire process, thus eliminating the risk of the bolt falling onto the battery pack. Of course, the jacking bolt 48 connected to the first mounting plate 19 can also serve the same purpose. Furthermore, when moving the adjustment frame and rangefinder mounting frame, they can be pushed directly by hand. Thanks to the presence of the slide rails and guide rails, there is no need to support the adjustment frame and rangefinder mounting frame. This not only reduces manual labor intensity but also makes adjustments very convenient and greatly improves adjustment speed.

[0061] In other embodiments of the ranging photographic device, the ranging photographic device can also be used on a laser welding machine on a battery pack production line. Similarly, the camera is used to capture images of welding points on the battery pack, and the rangefinder is used to measure the height of the battery pack to facilitate focusing and welding by the laser welding machine.

[0062] In other embodiments of the distance measurement and photographing device, the distance meter may also be an infrared distance meter.

[0063] In other embodiments of the ranging photographing device, the camera may also be a CMOS camera.

[0064] In other embodiments of the ranging and photographing device, the mounting frame detection component provided on the adjusting frame and the adjusting frame detection component provided on the fixing frame may not be photoelectric switches, for example, they may be travel switches or trigger-type alarms; of course, detection components may not be provided on either the adjusting frame or the fixing frame.

[0065] In other embodiments of the ranging photographing device, the stop structure provided on the fixing frame may not be a positioning screw, but a stop block welded to the fixing frame; of course, the stop structure provided on the adjusting frame may not be a positioning screw, but a stop block welded to the adjusting frame.

[0066] In other embodiments of the distance measuring and photographing device, the cylinder may not be fixed on the lower half of the second mounting plate, and in this case, there is no need to set a protective plate.

[0067] In other embodiments of the rangefinder and photographic device, depending on the structure of the rangefinder, when the rangefinder can be directly fixed to the second mounting plate, the third mounting plate can be omitted; or the first mounting plate can be enlarged so that the rangefinder can be directly fixed to the first mounting plate, thereby omitting the second mounting plate. In this case, the mounting plate consists only of the first mounting plate.

[0068] In other embodiments of the rangefinder photographing device, the positioning structure on the rangefinder mounting frame may not be a tightening bolt threadedly connected to the mounting plate. For example, it may be a fixing bolt passing through the mounting plate. The fixing bolt needs to be threadedly connected to the adjustment frame to locate the position of the rangefinder mounting frame. In this case, a threaded hole needs to be provided on the adjustment frame. Of course, the positioning structure may also be a positioning pin installed on the mounting plate. The positioning pin passes through the mounting plate and is inserted into the adjustment frame to locate the position of the rangefinder mounting frame.
