The product inspection module includes a product fixing mechanism 1 for supporting and fixing the water-cooled plate 3 and an image inspection mechanism 2. The product fixing mechanism 1 includes a base 11, a first linear module 12 arranged on the base 11, and a fixing plate 13 arranged on the first linear module 12. At the end of the fixing plate 13, there are several light sources 14. On the fixing plate 13, there is a long hole 15. On the long hole 15, there are multiple product pads 16 for supporting the water-cooled plate 3. At the bottom of the fixing plate 13, there are also multiple pressing components 17. Each pressing component 17 includes a lifting cylinder 171. The lifting cylinder 171 is connected with a Z-shaped connecting frame 172 passing through the long hole 15. At the top of the Z-shaped connecting frame 172, there is a pressing plate 173 capable of pressing on the water-cooled plate 3. The image inspection mechanism 2 includes a marble platform 21, a second linear module 22 arranged on the marble platform 21, and a 2D image inspection component 23 and a 3D scanning component 24 arranged on the second linear module 22.

[0019] A fully automatic vision inspection device for the water-cooled plate 3 in this solution realizes continuous feeding of the water-cooled plate 3 through the product conveying module 5.

The specific inspection process is as follows. First, the water-cooled plate 3 is placed on the product cushion block 16 by the six-axis manipulator 61. Then, the lifting cylinder 171 of the pressing component 17 acts, and the lifting cylinder 171 drives the Z-shaped connecting frame 172 and the pressing plate 173 to descend until the pressing plate 173 presses on the water-cooled plate 3 to fix the water-cooled plate 3.

During inspection, the 2D image inspection component 23 of the image inspection mechanism 2 first scans the QR code on the water-cooled plate 3 through the upper CCD 232 and the lower CCD 233 for product identification. Then, the 3D scanning component 24 starts to operate, and the entire 3D scanning component 24 is driven by the second linear module 22 to perform a complete scan along the length direction of the water-cooled plate 3. The number of scans can be several times. Four 3D cameras 244 arranged on the 3D detection fixing frame 241 are arranged around the through hole 242, so that the top surface, bottom surface and two side surfaces of the water-cooled plate 3 can be scanned and photographed, thereby recording information such as the surface profile, flatness and position of the water-cooled plate 3. After the 3D laser scanning and photographing are completed, the 2D image inspection component 23 performs a visual inspection on the water-cooled plate 3 again, mainly inspecting the size of the water-cooled plate 3 and the sizes of the current collectors at both ends. This solution integrates the 2D and 3D inspection items into one device, can continuously perform 3D scanning and photographing and 2D size inspection on the water-cooled plate 3, with complete inspection items and high automation degree, improving the inspection efficiency.

Since there may be a positional deviation in the position of the water-cooling plate 3 after it is placed on the product cushion block 16. During adjustment, the side push cylinder 181 drives a plurality of L-shaped push blocks 183 to push the product through the push plate 182, so as to ensure the parallelism of the position of the water-cooling plate 3 and improve the detection accuracy.

The optoelectronic sensor can detect the water-cooling plate 3 placed on the product cushion block 16, thereby starting the detection work.

[0025] Preferably, a plurality of horizontal support rods 174 are further provided at the top of the Z-shaped connecting frame 172.
