Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery processing, in particular to a detection device for detecting the size of a battery module. Background Art

[0002] During the production and processing of battery modules, cold plates need to be attached to the battery modules.

[0021] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present utility model and be able to implement it according to the content of the specification, the following further describes in detail the specific implementation manners of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model but do not limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0022] See the attached Figures 1-5 As shown, the detection device for detecting the size of a battery module in the first embodiment includes: two upright columns 1 arranged at intervals, and a lighting module and a vision module are provided on the upright columns 1.

[0023] The lighting module can increase the brightness, enabling the vision module to take clearer pictures, thereby achieving accurate detection of the size of the battery module.

[0024] The lighting module includes: an extension bracket 11; a first lighting plate 12 provided on the extension bracket 11; the vision module includes: an adjustment seat provided at the top of the upright column 1; a first camera 13 provided on the adjustment seat, and the first camera 13 faces the first lighting plate 12.

[0025] The extension bracket 11 can move the first lighting plate 12 away from the first camera 13. After the robot grabs the battery module, the battery module can be placed between the first lighting plate 12 and the first camera 13, so that the first camera 13 can take pictures of the battery module for detection. The adjustment seat can adjust the position of the first camera 13, facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the first camera 13 and the first lighting plate 12, enabling it to be adjusted according to the width of the battery module, and improving the practicality.

[0026] A detection tooling provided between the first lighting plate and the first camera 13; the detection tooling includes: a support column 3 arranged vertically; a connecting seat 31 provided at the top of the support column 3; a movable block 32 capable of reciprocating along the length direction of the connecting seat 31; a positioning block 36 fixed on the movable block 32 and facing the incoming material; and a positioning sensor 35 provided on the connecting seat 31 for detecting the movement of the movable block 32.

[0027] The detection tooling is located between the first lighting plate 12 and the first camera 13. After the robot grabs the battery module, the battery module can be moved by the robot, so that the battery module pushes the movable block 32 to move. When the movable block 32 moves to the signal emitted by the positioning sensor 35, the operation of the robot is stopped. Then, the vision module cooperates with the lighting module to judge the size of the battery module with the positioning block 36 as a reference. The structure of the double upright columns 1 can perform the same operation on the left and right sides of the battery module, thereby obtaining the specific size of the battery module. After knowing the specific size of the battery module, the robot can grab the water-cooled plate that matches its size, thereby realizing the precise fitting of the battery module and the water-cooled plate, and preventing the robot from getting confused during the grabbing process.

[0028] Further, the adjusting base includes: a fixing member 2 fixed to the top end of the column 1; a connecting member 21 fixedly connected to the fixing member 2; and a slide rail 22 provided on the connecting member 21 and slidably connected to the first camera 13.

[0029] The first camera 13 can move on the slide rail 22 to adjust the distance from the first light plate 12, and the fixing member 2 and the connecting member 21 are used to support and fix the slide rail 22.

[0030] Further, a pressing plate 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 21.

[0031] The lower part of the pressing plate 23 is adapted to the slide rail 22, and can assist in fixing the slide rail 22 after fixation, increasing the stress intensity of the slide rail 22.

[0032] Further, a fixing plate 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 31, a return spring 34 is provided on the fixing plate 33, and the other end of the return spring 34 is fixedly connected to the movable block 32.

[0033] When the movable block 32 moves, it will compress the return spring 34. When the pressing force disappears, the return spring 34 can drive the movable block 32 to reset, so as to perform the next battery module detection.

[0034] Further, a boss 37 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 31; a track is provided on the boss along the length direction of the connecting seat 31, and the track is slidably connected to the movable block 32.

[0035] Further, a side plate 38 is provided on the connecting seat 31, and a notch for installing the positioning sensor 35 is opened on the side plate 38.

[0036] The positioning actuator is installed in the notch, and can detect the movement of the movable block 32, and the side plate 38 will not affect the movement of the movable block 32.

[0037] Further, a limiting rod 39 penetrating through the fixing plate 33 is provided on the movable block 32, and the return spring 34 is sleeved outside the limiting rod 39.

[0038] When the movable block 32 moves, it will also drive the limiting rod 39 to move, so that the movable block 32 can maintain its initial position after reset, and the return spring 34 will not deform when compressed and restored.

[0039] Further, a second light plate 14 and an installation rod 15 close to the column 1 are further provided on the column 1, and a second camera 16 facing the second light plate 14 is provided on the installation rod 15.

[0040] When the detection tooling is installed between the second light plate 14 and the second camera 16, another set of detection structures can be formed, thus facilitating the battery detection of multiple workstations and improving the battery detection efficiency.

[0041] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
