The controller includes a processing module, a storage module and a control module. The camera 3, the first light source 4, the second light source 5 and the measurement result output device communicate with the controller respectively in a wired or wireless manner. The camera 3 can transmit the product pictures taken when the first light source 4 and the second light source 5 illuminate the battery product 26 to the processing module of the controller. The processing module of the controller captures the edge contour lines with high contrast in the two product pictures to calculate the gap between the battery top cover and the shell. The processing module of the controller can compare the calculation result with the gap range data pre-stored in the storage module of the controller, and transmit the comparison result to the measurement result output device. The measurement result output device can display the measurement result externally. The control module of the controller controls the first light source 4 and the second light source 5 to turn on and off and the camera 3 to take pictures.

[0028] When measuring the gap between the top cover and the shell of a lithium battery, the battery product 26 to be measured is fixedly positioned on the battery positioning carrier 1, and the top cover of the battery is facing upward. Then, the first power supply is turned on and the second power supply is turned off. At this time, the first power supply forms a bright field environment. In the image obtained by imaging the battery product 26 by the camera 3, the edge line of the battery shell forms a high-contrast edge. The edge line of the battery shell is captured by the processing module of the controller. Then, the second power supply is turned on and the first power supply is turned off. At this time, the second power supply forms a dark field environment. In the image obtained by imaging the battery product 26 by the camera 3, the edge line of the battery top cover forms a high-contrast edge.

The horizontal light 10 emitted by the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element in an opposite state passes through the light-transmitting lampshade 9 and is transmitted outward to form a dark field lighting environment covering the battery product 26. The first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element emit horizontal light 10 in a mutually opposite manner in the light-transmitting lampshade 9.

[0030] The light-transmitting lampshade 9 includes a light-transmitting wall and a diffuse reflection wall. The horizontal light 10 emitted by the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element is diffusely reflected by the diffuse reflection wall and then emitted outward through the light-transmitting wall. The light-transmitting lampshade 9 diffusely reflects the horizontal light 10 emitted by the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element through the diffuse reflection wall, and then emits the light through the light-transmitting lampshade 9 toward the light-transmitting wall of the second hollow part 7, so that the light diffuses above the battery product 26 to form a dark field environment. The first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element are reflected oppositely, so that a large range of light is emitted outward at an obtuse angle on the light-transmitting wall of the light-transmitting lampshade 9 to prevent the situation where the light does not completely cover the product.
