Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of visual detection, in particular to a visual detection device for an S04 fork seat in a battery swap station. Background Art

[0002] The S04 fork seat of the battery swap station is one of the core components of the battery fork movement of the battery swap station. The parallelism, surface finish and screw hole position of the four guide rail mounting slots on the product are very high, and are generally measured and tested using a large three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine. Large three-dimensional coordinate measuring machines are expensive; they have high technical requirements for operators, and the consistency of measurements by different operators or multiple measurements by the same operator is poor; they usually require multiple measurements to take the average value, which is a huge workload and takes a long time to measure, and can usually only be sampled.

[0003] Battery swap stations are batch-produced equipment, and the S04 fork seat as a core component must be fully inspected. A single three-coordinate measuring machine on the current market cannot meet the measurement time requirements of this product, while investing heavily in three-coordinate measuring machines would require a lot of money and personnel, which is unacceptable to most companies.
