[0040] When measuring, please refer to Figure 5 In the initial state of the gap measurement device, the first fixture 411 is located at the access opening 510 of the housing 500. The operator places the digital product to be measured into the first fixture 411. Pressing the start switch causes the first fixture 411 to retract with the digital product into the housing 500, and the laser head 310 to be activated to measure the depth and width of each gap point on the front of the digital product. The first fixture 411 is driven along the first X-axis 421, the laser head 310 is driven along the Y-axis, and the rotation angle of the rotary table 430 is adjusted to change the measurement point on the front of the digital product.

After measuring the front of the digital product, the first X-axis 421 drives the first fixture 411 out of the access opening 510 and out of the housing 500. The operator removes the digital product from the first fixture 411, flips it over, and places it into the second fixture 412. Pressing the start switch again causes the second fixture 412 to retract into the housing 500, activating the laser head 310 to measure the depth and width of each gap on the back of the digital product. During the measurement process, the second fixture 412 is driven along the second X-axis 422, and the laser head 310 is driven along the Y-direction, thereby changing the measurement point on the back of the digital product. After measuring the back of the digital product, the second X-axis 422 drives the second fixture 412 out of the access opening 510. The operator removes the digital product from the second fixture 412, completing the gap measurement for that digital product. The operator then places the next digital product into the first fixture 411, beginning the next round of testing. The laser reflection principle is applied to measure gaps. The first rotating member 321 and the second rotating member 322 cooperate to drive the laser head 310 to rotate along the horizontal plane and along the measurement direction. The height, horizontal rotation angle and tilt angle of the laser head 310 are adjusted so that the laser head 310 can measure different positions of the gaps in the digital product housing, realize multi-angle measurement of the gaps in the digital product housing, and can measure tiny gaps, thereby improving measurement accuracy and detection efficiency.
