AI Technical Summary
In automotive heat exchangers, the use of D-type manifolds makes it impossible to visually inspect the condition of the assembled B-type core tube openings, resulting in a high product rejection rate. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device to perform closed-loop testing on the D-type manifolds before brazing.
A closed-tube detector comprising a working box, a fixing plate, a servo module, and an endoscope device was designed. The servo module drives the endoscope device to move up and down inside the D-shaped manifold to acquire images of the tube opening. The images are then transmitted to a host computer via a USB cable for image comparison, and a high-precision image recognition algorithm is used to determine the tube opening status.
It enables clear detection of the D-type manifold port status, reduces the product NG rate, improves detection efficiency, and distinguishes between qualified and unqualified ports through color indication.
