At present, the water cooling pipe and the water cooling plate are generally connected by plug-in, and the assembly gap between the water cooling pipe and the heat exchange plate is usually detected manually, which leads to low detection efficiency and easy detection errors. Summary of the invention

The image collector is configured to be able to move along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components under the action of the transmission mechanism. The image collector is also configured to be able to rotate around the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components and can obtain the assembly gap of the plug-in components in different directions around the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components.

[0004] According to the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device of the present application, the image collector is moved along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components by the transmission mechanism, so that the assembly gaps of the multiple plug-in components can be acquired in sequence along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, thereby realizing automatic detection of the assembly gaps and improving the detection efficiency of the assembly gaps. At the same time, by rotating the image collector around the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, the image collector can acquire the assembly gaps of the plug-in components along different directions, thereby expanding the detection range of the assembly gaps and further improving the accuracy of the detection results of the assembly gaps.

[0005] In some embodiments of the present application, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission component, a second transmission component and a third transmission component connected in sequence, the first transmission component is connected to the frame, the image acquisition component is connected to the third transmission component, the first transmission component is used to drive the second transmission component to move along the first direction, the second transmission component is used to drive the third transmission component to move along the second direction, and the third transmission component is used to drive the image acquisition component to move along the third direction, wherein the first direction is configured to be consistent with the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components, the second direction intersects with the first direction, and the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located intersects with the third direction.

[0006] The first transmission assembly, the second transmission assembly, the third transmission assembly and the image acquisition assembly are connected in sequence, and the image acquisition device can be driven by the transmission mechanism to move in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction respectively, so as to adjust the relative position of the image acquisition device and the plug-in assembly, thereby facilitating the acquisition of the respective assembly gaps of the multiple plug-in assemblies.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction is a vertical direction or is arranged at an angle to the vertical direction.

[0008] By setting the first direction to be consistent with the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components, and setting the third direction to be a vertical direction or to be set at an angle to the vertical direction, the image collector is set on one side of the multiple plug-in components along the second direction, and the image collector is moved along the first direction, so as to obtain the assembly gaps of the multiple plug-in components arranged in sequence along the first direction. At the same time, the image collector is moved along the third direction and rotated around the first direction, so as to obtain the assembly gaps of the plug-in components along different directions, expand the collection range of the assembly gap, and thereby improve the accuracy of the detection results of the assembly gap.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, there are two first transmission assemblies, the two first transmission assemblies are spaced apart along the second direction, and the two first transmission assemblies are configured to operate synchronously, and the two first transmission assemblies jointly drive the second transmission assembly to move along the first direction.

[0010] By respectively connecting the second transmission assembly to the two first transmission assemblies in transmission connection, and the two first transmission assemblies jointly supporting the second transmission assembly to move along the first direction, the movement stability of the second transmission assembly can be improved.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of image acquisition components is two, and the two image acquisition components are arranged opposite to each other and at intervals along the second direction.

[0012] By arranging the two image acquisition components opposite to each other and spaced apart along the second direction, the image acquisition devices of the two image acquisition components can respectively perform image acquisition along both sides of the second direction, thereby acquiring the assembly gaps on both sides of the same plug-in component along the second direction, or acquiring the assembly gaps on opposite sides of two plug-in components arranged relatively to each other along the second direction.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, there are two third transmission assemblies, the two third transmission assemblies are respectively connected to the second transmission assemblies, and are arranged opposite to and spaced apart along the second direction, and the two image acquisition assemblies are connected to the two third transmission assemblies in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0014] By connecting the two image acquisition components to the two third transmission components in a one-to-one correspondence, the two third transmission components can independently adjust the positions of the image acquisition devices connected thereto along the second direction and the third direction, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the positions of the image acquisition devices on either side along the second direction and the third direction.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the second transmission assembly includes a support beam and two second slide rails, the support beam is slidably connected to the two first transmission assemblies, the two second slide rails are respectively arranged on the support beam, and are oppositely and spaced apart along the second direction, and the two third transmission assemblies correspond one-to-one to the two second slide rails and are slidably connected.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, the image acquisition component further includes a corner motor, which is disposed in the third transmission component, and is used to drive the image acquisition device to rotate around the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components.

[0018] By connecting the image collector to the output end of the corner motor, the image collector can rotate around the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components under the action of the corner motor, thereby adjusting the angle of the image collector relative to the plug-in components, thereby increasing the acquisition range of the image collector.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the third transmission assembly is further provided with a position sensor, and the position sensor is used to detect the position of the plug-in assembly along the third direction.

[0020] The position of the plug-in component along the third direction is detected by the position sensor, so that the third transmission component can be driven to adjust the position of the image collector along the third direction according to the detection result, so that the acquisition range of the image collector covers at least part of the assembly gap, thereby obtaining the assembly gap.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device also includes a feed detection component, which is arranged at one end of the rack along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, and is used to detect that the plug-in components enter the detection area of ​​the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device; and / or, the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device also includes a discharge detection component, which is arranged at the other end of the rack along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, and is used to detect that the plug-in components are moved out of the detection area of ​​the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device.

[0022] By detecting that the plug-in assembly enters the detection area of ​​the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device through the feed detection part, the transmission mechanism can be started to drive the image collector to move, and the assembly gap of the plug-in assembly can be obtained through the image collector. By detecting that the plug-in assembly moves out of the detection area of ​​the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device through the discharge detection part, the operation of the transmission mechanism and the image collector can be shut down.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device further includes a lifting component, which is disposed on the frame and is used to adjust the position of the plug-in component in the vertical direction.

[0026] By positioning the plug-in assembly through the clamping assembly, the position of the plug-in assembly can be kept unchanged during the detection of the assembly gap, thereby facilitating the movement of the image collector relative to the plug-in assembly, thereby obtaining the assembly gaps of multiple plug-in assemblies.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present application further proposes a method for detecting the assembly gap of a water-cooling pipe, wherein the assembly gap of a plurality of plug-in components arranged in sequence in the same direction is detected according to the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device described in any one of the above items, comprising the following steps: Place multiple plug-in assemblies arranged in sequence along the same direction into the detection area of ​​the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device; Adjust the position of the image collector so that the image collector is disposed at the first end of the plurality of plug-in components along the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components, and is disposed at one side of the plug-in components along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components; Moving the image collector along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components toward the second ends of the multiple plug-in components, and sequentially acquiring image information of each of the multiple assembly gaps along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components through the image collector; Adjust the position of the image collector and rotate the image collector around the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components; The image collector is moved along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components toward the first ends of the multiple plug-in components, and image information of each of the multiple assembly gaps along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components is sequentially acquired through the image collector.

[0028] According to the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection method of the present application, by moving the image collector along the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components, the assembly gaps of multiple plug-in components can be acquired in sequence through the image collector, thereby realizing automatic detection of the assembly gaps and improving the detection efficiency of the assembly gaps. At the same time, by rotating the image collector around the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components, the image collector can acquire the assembly gaps of the plug-in components along different directions, thereby expanding the acquisition range of the assembly gaps and further improving the accuracy of the detection results of the assembly gaps.

[0029] In a third aspect, the present application further proposes a method for detecting the assembly gap of a water-cooling pipe, wherein the assembly gap of a plurality of plug-in components arranged in sequence in the same direction is detected according to the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device described in any one of the above items, comprising the following steps: Acquire image information of respective assembly gaps of a plurality of plug-in components along an arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components; The maximum gap size among the plurality of assembly gaps along the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components is calculated.

[0030] By obtaining and calculating the maximum gap size along the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components among multiple assembly gaps, and using this maximum gap size as the maximum assembly gap size of the water cooling pipe, it is determined whether the assembly gap size of the water cooling pipe meets the assembly requirements.

[0042] At present, from the perspective of market development, the application of power batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, as well as military equipment and aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of power batteries, the market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0043] With the continuous development of new energy vehicles, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. In the prior art, in order to improve the working efficiency and service life of the battery, a water cooling plate is usually provided inside the battery. The water cooling plate is connected to the water cooling pipe and forms a circulation pipeline for circulating the heat exchange medium to adjust the temperature of the battery. At present, the water cooling pipe and the water cooling plate are generally connected by plug-in, and the assembly gap between the water cooling pipe and the water cooling plate is usually detected manually, which leads to low detection efficiency and easy detection errors.

[0044] In order to solve the problem of low efficiency in detecting the assembly gap between the water-cooling pipe and the water-cooling plate, the present application proposes a water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device and a water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection method, which can realize automatic detection of the assembly gap and improve the detection efficiency of the assembly gap. At the same time, it can also expand the detection range of the assembly gap, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection result of the assembly gap.

[0045] Specific, combined Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the battery device 200 includes a plurality of battery cells 201, at least a portion of the battery cells 201 are arranged in the same direction, and a water cooling plate 202 is provided between adjacent battery cells 201. The water cooling plate 202 can exchange heat with the adjacent battery cells 201, thereby adjusting the temperature of the battery cells 201, and further improving the working efficiency of the battery cells 201. The water cooling pipe includes a liquid inlet pipe 203 and a liquid outlet pipe 204, and the liquid inlet pipe 203 and the liquid outlet pipe 204 are respectively plugged and communicated with the water cooling plate 202, so that heat exchange medium can be input to the plurality of water cooling plates 202 through the same liquid inlet pipe 203, and heat exchange medium of the plurality of water cooling plates 202 can be output through the same liquid outlet pipe 204. The liquid inlet pipe 203 and the liquid outlet pipe 204 may be arranged on the same side of the plurality of battery cells 201 in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 201, or the liquid inlet pipe 203 and the liquid outlet pipe 204 may be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the plurality of battery cells 201 in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 201. The liquid inlet pipe 203 and the liquid outlet pipe 204 respectively include a plurality of disconnected connecting pipe sections 2031, the plurality of connecting pipe sections 2031 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the water-cooled plate 202, and any one of the connecting pipe sections 2031 is respectively plugged with the water-cooled plate 202, so that the plurality of water-cooled plates 202 are sequentially connected through the plurality of connecting pipe sections 2031. In the process of plugging the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water-cooled plate 202, the deviation of the plugging direction or the plugging size easily leads to an assembly gap 2032 at the connection between the two along the plugging direction. When the cumulative assembly gap between the multiple connecting pipe sections 2031 and the water-cooled plate 202 arranged in sequence along the same direction reaches a certain size, leakage will occur, affecting the safety of the battery device 200. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the assembly gap 2032 between the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water-cooled plate 202. For the convenience of description, this application only takes the inlet pipe 203 and the outlet pipe 204 as being respectively arranged on both sides of the multiple battery cells 201 in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the multiple battery cells 201, and takes the connecting pipe section 2031 in the inlet pipe 203 and the water-cooled plate 202 as an example for mutual plugging. In which, any connecting pipe section 2031 and a plugged water-cooled plate 202 together form a plug-in assembly, and an assembly gap 2032 is formed between the two.

[0046] Combination Figures 1 to 7As shown, the first aspect of the present application proposes a water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100, which is used to detect the assembly gap of multiple plug-in components arranged in sequence along the same direction. The water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100 includes a frame 10, a transmission mechanism 20 and an image acquisition component 30. The transmission mechanism 20 is arranged on the frame 10, and the image acquisition component 30 is connected to the transmission mechanism 20. The image acquisition component 30 includes an image collector 31. The image collector 31 is used to obtain image information of the assembly gap 2032 along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components. The image collector 31 is configured to be able to move along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components under the action of the transmission mechanism 20. The image collector 31 is also configured to be able to rotate around the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, and can obtain the assembly gap 2032 of the plug-in components along different directions around the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components.

[0047] Specifically, the plug assembly includes a first plug-in component and a second plug-in component that are plugged into each other. Optionally, one of the first plug-in component and the second plug-in component can be a tubular structure, and the other can be a plate-shaped structure, or the first plug-in component and the second plug-in component can be tubular structures. For the convenience of description, this application only takes the first plug-in component as a water-cooling plate 202, the second plug-in component as a connecting pipe section 2031 in a liquid inlet pipe 203, and the water-cooling plate 202 and the connecting pipe section 2031 are plugged into each other and an assembly gap 2032 is formed between the two for illustration.

[0048] The frame 10 is used to form the overall support structure of the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100. The image acquisition component 30 is drivingly connected to the transmission mechanism 20 and is arranged on the frame 10 through the transmission mechanism 20. The image acquisition component 30 includes an image collector 31, which is used to obtain image information of the assembly gap 2032 along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, that is, the image collector 31 is used to obtain image information of the assembly gap 2032 along the axial direction of the liquid inlet pipe 203. The image collector 31 is configured to be able to move along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components under the action of the transmission mechanism 20, so as to adjust the relative position between the image collector 31 and the liquid inlet pipe 203 by moving the image collector 31, and can move along the plug-in direction between the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water-cooling plate 202, thereby sequentially obtaining the assembly gaps 2032 between the multiple connecting pipe sections 2031 and the multiple water-cooling plates 202.

[0049] Since the connecting pipe section 2031 is a tubular structure, the assembly gap 2032 formed between the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water-cooling plate 202 is an annular structure and has a circumferential direction. The image collector 31 is also configured to be able to rotate around the plug-in direction of the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water-cooling plate 202, so as to adjust the position of the image collector 31 along the circumferential direction of the assembly gap 2032, thereby increasing the detection range of the image collector 31 along the circumferential direction of the assembly gap 2032.

[0050] According to the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device 100 of the present application, the image collector 31 is moved along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components by the transmission mechanism 20, so that the assembly gaps 2032 of the multiple plug-in components can be acquired in sequence along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, thereby realizing automatic detection of the assembly gaps 2032 and improving the detection efficiency of the assembly gaps 2032. At the same time, by rotating the image collector 31 around the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, the image collector 31 can acquire the assembly gaps 2032 of the plug-in components along different directions, thereby expanding the acquisition range of the assembly gaps 2032 and further improving the accuracy of the detection results of the assembly gaps 2032.

[0051] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the transmission mechanism 20 includes a first transmission component 21, a second transmission component 22 and a third transmission component 23 connected in sequence, the first transmission component 21 is connected to the frame 10, the image acquisition component 30 is connected to the third transmission component 23, the first transmission component 21 is used to drive the second transmission component 22 to move along the first direction X, the second transmission component 22 is used to drive the third transmission component 23 to move along the second direction Y, and the third transmission component 23 is used to drive the image acquisition component 30 to move along the third direction Z, wherein the first direction X is configured to be consistent with the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components, the second direction Y intersects with the first direction X, and the plane where the first direction X and the second direction Y are located intersects with the third direction Z.

[0052] Specifically, the first transmission assembly 21, the second transmission assembly 22, the third transmission assembly 23 and the image acquisition assembly 30 are connected in sequence, so that the image acquisition assembly 30 is connected to the frame 10 through the transmission mechanism 20. Among them, the first transmission assembly 21 is used to adjust the position of the image acquisition device 31 along the first direction X, the second transmission assembly 22 is used to adjust the position of the image acquisition device 31 along the second direction Y, and the third transmission assembly 23 is used to adjust the position of the image acquisition device 31 along the third direction Z, so that the transmission mechanism 20 can adjust the position of the image acquisition device 31 relative to the liquid inlet pipe 203 along the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z respectively.

Optionally, the image acquisition component 30 also includes a mounting plate 33, which is slidably connected to the third slide rail 231, the corner motor 32 is arranged on the mounting plate 33, and the image collector 31 is connected to the output end of the corner motor 32, so that by sliding the mounting plate 33 along the third direction Z, the position of the image collector 31 can be adjusted along the third direction Z.

[0072] By connecting the image collector 31 to the output end of the corner motor 32, the image collector 31 can rotate around the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components under the action of the corner motor 32, thereby adjusting the angle of the image collector 31 relative to the plug-in components, thereby increasing the acquisition range of the image collector 31.

[0073] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the third transmission assembly 23 is further provided with a position sensor (not shown in the figure), and the position sensor is used to detect the position of the plug-in assembly along the third direction Z.

[0074] Specifically, the position sensor can be fixed on the third slide rail 231. The detection end of the position sensor is arranged along the second direction Y toward the battery device 200, and is used to detect the position of the liquid inlet pipe 203 along the third direction Z, so as to adjust the position of the image collector 31 along the third direction Z according to the detection result, so as to make the assembly gap 2032 between the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water cooling plate 202 in the image collector 31 along the third direction Z. Optionally, the position sensor can be an infrared sensor.

[0075] The position of the plug-in component along the third direction Z is detected by the position sensor, so that the third transmission component 23 can be driven to adjust the position of the image collector 31 along the third direction Z according to the detection result, so that the acquisition range of the image collector 31 covers at least part of the assembly gap 2032, thereby obtaining the assembly gap 2032.

[0077] Specifically, the feed detection member 41 can be arranged at one end of the frame 10 along the first direction and arranged toward the second direction Y. The battery device 200 can be placed on the trolley 300, and the battery device 200 can be placed in the detection area of ​​the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100 by pushing the trolley 300. Among them, in order to facilitate the detection of the assembly gap 2032, the plug-in direction of the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water-cooling plate 202 can be arranged along the first direction X, and the trolley 300 can be pushed along the first direction X to between the first slide rails 211 on both sides, so that when the trolley 300 passes through the detection area of ​​the feed detection member 41, the feed detection member 41 can detect that the trolley 300 has entered and start the detection of the assembly gap 2032 at any time. The discharge detection member 42 can be arranged at the other end of the frame 10 along the first direction X and arranged toward the second direction Y. When the material cart passes through the detection area of ​​the material discharging detection part 42, the material discharging detection part 42 can detect that the material cart 300 has been moved out, and close the detection of the assembly gap 2032 at any time. Optionally, the material feeding detection part 41 and the material discharging detection part 42 can be infrared sensors respectively. Optionally, the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device 100 also includes a controller, and the material feeding detection part 41, the material discharging detection part 42, the transmission mechanism 20 and the image acquisition component 30 can be connected to the controller respectively. When the material feeding detection part 41 detects that the material cart 300 has entered the length range of the first slide rail 211, the controller can start the transmission mechanism 20 and drive the image collector 31 to move, thereby adjusting the relative position of the image collector 31 and the battery device 200. At the same time, the controller can also rotate the angle of the image collector 31, so as to obtain the assembly gap 2032 in different directions.

[0078] By detecting that the plug-in assembly enters the detection area of ​​the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device 100 through the feeding detection member 41, the transmission mechanism 20 can be started to drive the image collector 31 to move, and the assembly gap 2032 of the plug-in assembly can be obtained through the image collector 31. By detecting that the plug-in assembly moves out of the detection area of ​​the water-cooling tube assembly gap detection device 100 through the discharging detection member 42, the operation of the transmission mechanism 20 and the image collector 31 can be shut down.

[0079] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100 further includes a lifting component 50, which is disposed on the frame 10, and the lifting component 50 is used to adjust the position of the plug-in component along the vertical direction.

[0080] Specifically, the jacking assembly 50 is disposed on the frame 10, and the jacking assembly 50 may include a jacking cylinder, a cylinder seat of the jacking cylinder is connected to the frame 10, and the cylinder rod of the jacking cylinder can move in the vertical direction and abut against the bottom of the trolley 300, thereby lifting the trolley 300 and the battery device 200 on the trolley 300 in the vertical direction.

[0081] By adjusting the position of the plug-in assembly in the vertical direction through the lifting assembly 50, the plug-in assembly can be placed in the image acquisition area of ​​the image collector 31 in the vertical direction, so that the image collector 31 can obtain the assembly gap 2032 of the plug-in assembly.

[0082] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100 further includes a clamping assembly 60, and the clamping assembly 60 is used to position the plug-in assembly.

[0083] Specifically, the clamping assembly 60 is disposed on the frame 10, and the clamping assembly 60 may include a clamping cylinder. The cylinder seat of the clamping cylinder is connected to the frame 10, and the cylinder rod of the clamping cylinder can move along the first direction X or the second direction Y and abut against the side of the trolley 300, so as to be used to clamp the trolley 300 along the first direction X or the second direction Y, and then locate the position of the trolley 300 and the battery device 200 on the trolley 300.

[0084] By positioning the plug-in component through the clamping component 60, the position of the plug-in component can be kept unchanged during the detection of the assembly gap 2032, thereby facilitating the movement of the image collector 31 relative to the plug-in component, thereby obtaining the assembly gaps 2032 of multiple plug-in components.

[0085] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the image collector 31 includes a 3D camera.

[0086] Specifically, the 3D camera is connected to the output shaft of the corner motor 32, the camera head of the 3D camera is set along the second direction Y toward the battery device 200, and is used to obtain the assembly gap 2032 between the water cooling plate 202 and the connecting pipe section 2031, wherein the 3D camera is mainly used to obtain image information of the assembly gap 2032 along the first direction X.

[0087] By setting the image collector 31 as a 3D camera, the 3D camera can effectively obtain the assembly gap 2032 between the connecting pipe section 2031 and the water cooling plate 202, thereby obtaining the assembly gap 2032 of the liquid inlet pipe 203 through calculation.

[0088] Combination Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the second aspect of the present application further proposes a water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection method. The water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100 according to any of the above embodiments detects the assembly gaps 2032 of multiple plug-in components arranged in sequence in the same direction, including the following steps: S101, placing a plurality of plug-in components arranged in sequence along the same direction into a detection area of ​​a water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100; S102, adjusting the position of the image collector 31 so that the image collector 31 is disposed at the first end of the plurality of plug-in components along the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components, and disposed at one side of the plug-in components along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components; S103, moving the image collector 31 along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components toward the second end of the multiple plug-in components, and sequentially acquiring image information of each of the multiple assembly gaps 2032 along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components through the image collector 31; S104, adjusting the position of the image collector 31, and rotating the image collector 31 around the arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components; S105 , moving the image collector 31 along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components toward the first ends of the multiple plug-in components, and sequentially acquiring image information of each of the multiple assembly gaps 2032 along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components through the image collector 31 .

[0089] Specifically, the plug-in assembly includes a connecting pipe segment 2031 and a water-cooling plate 202 that are plugged into each other along a first direction X, and a plurality of plug-in assemblies are sequentially arranged along the first direction X and placed in the detection area of ​​the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100. The plurality of connecting pipe segments 2031 arranged along the first direction X together form a liquid inlet pipe 203, and the liquid inlet pipe 203 has a first end and a second end that are oppositely arranged along the first direction X.

[0090] The transmission mechanism 20 is used to adjust the position of the image collector 31 along the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z, so that the image collector 31 is disposed at the first end of the liquid inlet pipe 203 along the first direction X, and is disposed at one side of the radial direction of the liquid inlet pipe 203 along the second direction Y. The image collector 31 is moved along the first direction X toward the second end of the liquid inlet pipe 203, so as to sequentially obtain image information of the assembly gaps 2032 between the multiple connecting pipe sections 2031 and the water cooling plate 202, and the first maximum gap size among the multiple assembly gaps 2032 can be calculated according to the image information.

[0091] Since a single image collector 31 can only obtain partial image information of a part of the assembly gap 2032 along the circumferential direction of the connecting pipe section 2031, in order to improve the collection range of the image collector 31 for the assembly gap 2032 along the circumferential direction and improve the accuracy of the detection result, it is also necessary to rotate the image collector 31 around the first direction X, so as to collect image information of the assembly gap 2032 at different angles along the circumference of the assembly gap 2032. Therefore, after the image collector 31 is moved from the first end to the second end of the liquid inlet pipe 203 along the first direction X, it is necessary to move the image collector 31 along the third direction Z and rotate the image collector 31 around the first direction X, so that the image collector 31 rotates around the circumference of the assembly gap 2032, and by moving the image collector 31 from the second end to the first end of the liquid inlet pipe 203 along the first direction X, and collecting the assembly gap 2032 along different circumferential directions during the movement, the circumferential collection range of multiple assembly gaps 2032 is improved. Since the battery cell 201 is provided on the side of the liquid inlet tube 203 away from the image collector 31 along the second direction Y, the image collector 31 cannot be rotated to the side of the liquid inlet tube 203 away from the image collector 31. The rotation range of the image collector 31 is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°. Optionally, the initial position of the image collector 31 is arranged along the second direction Y opposite to the position of the assembly gap 2032 closest to the image collector 31, that is, the middle position of the assembly gap 2032 along the vertical direction is in the same plane as the image collector 31. When the image collector 31 needs to be rotated, it is rotated 90° clockwise or counterclockwise along the circumference of the assembly gap 2032 to increase the detection range of the assembly gap 2032. The rotation angle of the image collector 31 can be any value between 10°…30°…45°…60°…90°.

[0092] According to the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection method of the present application, by moving the image collector 31 along the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components, the assembly gaps 2032 of multiple plug-in components can be acquired in sequence through the image collector 31, thereby realizing automatic detection of the assembly gaps 2032 and improving the detection efficiency of the assembly gaps 2032. At the same time, by rotating the image collector 31 around the arrangement direction of multiple plug-in components, the image collector 31 can acquire the assembly gaps 2032 of the plug-in components along different directions, thereby expanding the acquisition range of the assembly gaps 2032 and further improving the accuracy of the detection results of the assembly gaps 2032.

[0093] Combination Figures 1 to 7 as well as Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the third aspect of the present application further proposes a water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection method, wherein the water-cooling pipe assembly gap detection device 100 according to any of the above embodiments detects the assembly gaps 2032 of a plurality of plug-in components arranged in sequence in the same direction, comprising the following steps: S201, acquiring image information of respective assembly gaps 2032 of a plurality of plug-in components along an arrangement direction of the plurality of plug-in components; S201, calculating a maximum gap size among a plurality of assembly gaps 2032 along an arrangement direction of a plurality of plug-in components.

[0094] Specifically, a surface of one side of the water-cooling plate 202 facing the connecting pipe section 2031 along the first direction X is selected as the base surface, and the maximum gap size between the base surface and the end of the connecting pipe section 2031 along the first direction X is collected and calculated by the image collector 31, and the calculation result is used as the assembly gap 2032 of a plug-in component. The image collector 31 is moved along the first direction X, and the maximum gap sizes between multiple base surfaces and the ends of the adjacent connecting pipe sections 2031 are sequentially obtained, so as to sequentially obtain the assembly gaps 2032 of multiple plug-in components arranged in sequence along the first direction X, and the maximum gap size along the first direction X is selected from the multiple assembly gaps 2032, and the maximum gap size is used as the maximum assembly gap size of the liquid inlet pipe 203.

[0095] By obtaining and calculating the maximum gap size in the multiple assembly gaps 2032 along the arrangement direction of the multiple plug-in components, and using this maximum gap size as the maximum assembly gap size of the water-cooling pipe, it is determined whether the assembly gap size of the water-cooling pipe meets the assembly requirements.
