[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the three-dimensional model building device includes a frame 1, multiple sets of tensioning components 2 and a scanning device 3. The multiple sets of tensioning components 2 are symmetrically connected to the frame 1, and each set of tensioning components 2 includes at least one tensioning member 21, at least one connecting member 22 and a tensioning adjustment mechanism. The tensioning adjustment mechanism is fixedly or detachably connected to the frame 1. The tensioning member 21 is arranged in the tensioning adjustment mechanism and its free end is connected to the plate heat exchanger plate 5 through the connecting member 22. Preferably, in this embodiment, the tensioning member 21 is a pull rope, such as a steel wire rope, a hemp rope, etc.

[0032] The scanning device 3 includes a mobile carriage 31 , a mechanical arm 32 and a structured light three-dimensional measurement probe 4 . The structured light three-dimensional measurement probe 4 is disposed on the mechanical arm 32 , and the mechanical arm 32 is disposed on the mobile carriage 31 .

[0033] Generally, the plate heat exchanger plate 5 is soft and easy to deform. It is a square structure with four guide holes or dovetail grooves. In order to fully unfold and support the plate heat exchanger plate 5 for easy scanning, the number of tensioning components 2 is the same as the number of guide holes or dovetail grooves, which is four. Preferably, when the connecting member 22 is connected to the guide hole or dovetail groove, the number of tensioning members 21 and the number of connecting members 22 are four respectively. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the connecting member 22 can be connected to other positions other than the guide hole or dovetail groove of the plate heat exchanger plate 5, and the number of connecting members 22 is not limited to four. For example, the connecting member 22 is clamped on the plate heat exchanger plate 5, and the connecting member 22 can be four, six, eight, etc.

[0035] In some other embodiments, the frame 1 may also include at least four columns 11, at least four beams 12 and a support assembly 13, the four columns 11 are parallel to each other, the support assembly 13 is respectively connected to the four columns 11 to support the columns 11, the four beams 12 are respectively connected to the columns 11, the four tension members 21 are respectively symmetrically connected to the beams 12, and the four connecting members 22 are clamped with the plate heat exchanger plates 5 to support the plate heat exchanger plates 5. It can be understood that the frame 1 avoids the plate heat exchanger plates 5 as much as possible to prevent the plate heat exchanger plates 5 from being blocked and the scanning device from being blocked.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the placement of the frame 1, the frame 1 may further include a fixing member 14 and a foot leveling member 15 in some embodiments. The foot leveling member 15 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 14 and connected to the column 11. The fixing member 14 may be fixed to the external structure to fix the position of the entire frame 1. Preferably, the foot leveling member 15 may be a leveling bolt, a multi-point leveling structure, or the like.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 22 may include a connector 221 connected to the tension member 21 and a clamping portion 222 matching the shape of the edge hole of the plate 5 of the plate heat exchanger, and the diameter of the clamping portion 222 is smaller than the diameter of the connector 221. The clamping portion 222 is clamped on the guide hole or dovetail groove of the plate heat exchanger plate 5. Preferably, the shape of the clamping portion 222 matches the guide hole or dovetail groove, for example, the cross section of the clamping portion 222 is circular, fan-shaped or annular.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to adapt to the plate heat exchanger plates 5 of different sizes, the tensioning adjustment mechanism may be a winch in some embodiments, and the tensioning member 21 is arranged in the winch. The handle of the winch can be manually turned to adjust the length of the free end of the tensioning member 21 to adapt to the size of the plate heat exchanger plate 5. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the tensioning adjustment mechanism may include a reel and a motor, the rotating shaft of the motor is connected to the reel, the tensioning member 21 is arranged in the reel, and the motor is started to drive the reel to rotate to adjust the length of the free end of the tensioning member 21 to adapt to the size of the plate heat exchanger plate 5. In addition to the above two structures, the tensioning adjustment mechanism can also be a foldable structure, a freely shrinkable stretching structure or a porous snap-on assembly, or an elastic member. The tensioning adjustment mechanism can also be an integrated structure with the tensioning member 21, and the tensioning member 21 is an elastic member.

[0039] In some embodiments, the tensioning assembly 2 may also include a tension display (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the tensioning member 21 and displays the real-time tension of the tensioning member 21. The tension display may be a tension sensor, with the sensor head connected to the tensioning member 21, and the data uploaded to the tension sensor display through wiring. The tension display may also be a tension meter integrally mounted on the tensioning member 21. The specific structure of the tension display is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to automatically adjust the tightness of the tensioning member 21, the tensioning assembly 2 may further include a motor in some embodiments, and the rotating shaft of the motor is connected to the adjusting member.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the movement of the robot arm 32 and the structured light three-dimensional measurement probe 4, the mobile vehicle 31 includes a vehicle body 311 and at least four Mecanum wheels 312. The at least four Mecanum wheels 312 are arranged at the bottom of the vehicle body 311, and can achieve instantaneous movement in any direction, including forward, backward, left and right translation, and diagonal movement, without the need for steering. This setting can increase the maneuverability and flexibility of the autonomous platform, especially in a space-constrained environment, and steering can be achieved without a special steering mechanism.

The robot arm 32 has four degrees of freedom and can move the structured light three-dimensional measurement probe 4 while scanning the plate 5 of the plate heat exchanger to scan different positions.

[0043] The method of using the three-dimensional model building device of the plate heat exchanger plate of the utility model is: when measuring, use the tensioning device to fully unfold the plate heat exchanger plate 5 and keep it fixed, move the mobile car 31 to a certain position, use the structured light three-dimensional measurement probe 4 to scan the plate heat exchanger plate 5, and while scanning, the mechanical arm 32 can adjust the scanning position of the structured light three-dimensional measurement probe 4, and the mobile car 31 can also move and adjust the position of the mechanical arm 32 and the structured light three-dimensional measurement probe 4 at the same time, and finally complete the comprehensive scanning of the plate heat exchanger plate 5. It can be understood that when measuring, the mobile car 31 can walk along a specific route, and the mechanical arm 32 can also rotate along a specific route. The specific route planning is not the focus of the utility model and will not be elaborated here.
