[0002] Currently, thickness measurement modules are used in many fields. For example, in the field of new energy equipment, during the production of lithium batteries (power batteries and energy storage batteries), the uniformity of the thickness of key materials such as electrodes and separators directly affects the battery's energy density, safety, and cycle life. Therefore, thickness measurement modules are needed to measure the thickness of lithium batteries. Existing thickness measurement modules measure the thickness of the object being measured (e.g., the battery) in a flat position, using grippers to pick up and unload the object.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] This utility model embodiment provides a thickness measuring module, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a frame 1, a transport line mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3, and a thickness detection mechanism 4; the clamping mechanism 3 is set on the frame 1 and forms a measurement position between it and the frame 1; the transport line mechanism 2 is used to transport the object to be measured to the measurement position; the thickness detection mechanism 4 is set on the frame 1 and the clamping mechanism 3; when the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the object to be measured on the transport line mechanism 2, the thickness detection mechanism 4 measures the thickness of the object to be measured.

[0025] As an example, the thickness measuring module can be applied to, but is not limited to, coating machines to measure the thickness of batteries. Specifically, it includes a frame 1, a transport line mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3, and a thickness detection mechanism 4. During installation, the clamping mechanism 3 is placed on the frame 1, forming a measuring position between them. This clamping mechanism 3 and the frame 1, forming the measuring position, stably and accurately fixes the object to be measured in a specific position, providing a clear and stable measurement reference for the thickness detection mechanism 4 and avoiding measurement errors caused by shaking or displacement of the object during measurement. The transport line mechanism 2 transports the object to be measured to the measuring position. It automatically transports the object to the measuring position, achieving rapid and continuous transport. Compared to manual handling, automated transport significantly shortens the transfer time and improves the continuity and efficiency of the production process. Frame 1 provides stable structural support for the entire thickness measurement module. Clamping mechanism 3 can be adjusted according to the dimensions of the object to be measured to accommodate objects of different widths, lengths, and thicknesses. This allows the thickness measurement module to be widely used in the inspection of products of various specifications, improving the equipment's versatility and utilization. Thickness detection mechanism 4 is mounted on frame 1 and clamping mechanism 3. When clamping mechanism 3 clamps the object to be measured on the transport line mechanism 2, thickness detection mechanism 4 measures the thickness of the object. Clamping mechanism 3 allows for quick and efficient clamping of the object, while thickness detection mechanism 4 can complete the thickness measurement within a short time after clamping. This significantly shortens the measurement cycle for each object, thereby improving overall measurement efficiency. For example, in high-speed production environments, the rapid clamping and measurement process can meet the production cycle requirements, ensuring the smooth operation of the production line.

[0026] In this example, the object to be measured (e.g., a battery) is transported via the transport line mechanism 2, allowing for immediate measurement and removal without waiting for loading and unloading, thus improving measurement efficiency. The transport and measurement of the object to be measured are separate and do not interfere with each other, ensuring good measurement stability. During measurement, the object to be measured and the thickness detection mechanism 4 do not move relative to each other, preventing scratches to the protective film on the object to be measured (e.g., the blue film on a battery). The various components of the thickness measurement module (frame 1, transport line mechanism 2, clamping mechanism 3, and thickness detection mechanism 4) are relatively independent, and the modular design makes equipment maintenance and repair more convenient. When a component malfunctions, the faulty module can be quickly located and replaced without requiring large-scale disassembly and repair of the entire device. This setup not only reduces equipment downtime and maintenance costs but also improves the overall reliability and availability of the equipment.

[0027] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The thickness detection mechanism 4 includes a probe mounting plate 41, a probe mounting block 42, and a first stop block 43. The probe mounting plate 41 is mounted on the frame 1, and the probe mounting block 42 is mounted on the probe mounting plate 41. The probe mounting block 42 is provided with a guide rod 44 and a displacement sensor 45. The probe of the displacement sensor 45 passes through the guide rod 44. The first stop block 43 is mounted on the clamping mechanism 3. When the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the object to be measured, the probe of the displacement sensor 45 contacts the first stop block 43 and measures the thickness of the object to be measured.

[0028] As an example, the probe mounting plate 41 is mounted on the intermediate base plate 13 of the frame 1. The intermediate base plate 13 provides a stable and accurate reference plane for the thickness detection mechanism 4, ensuring the positional accuracy of the probe mounting plate 41, and thus enabling the precise positioning of the probe mounting block 42 and the displacement sensor 45. The guide rod 44 provided on the probe mounting block 42 provides a precise linear motion track for the probe of the displacement sensor 45. During the process of the clamping mechanism 3 clamping the object to be measured and the probe contacting the first stop 43, the guide rod 44 ensures that the probe moves along a predetermined linear direction, avoiding probe deviation or wobbling. This precision of linear motion allows the displacement sensor 45 to accurately measure the displacement of the probe, thereby accurately calculating the thickness of the object to be measured. The displacement sensor 45 has high measurement accuracy and resolution, and can accurately sense the minute displacement changes of the probe. When the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the object to be measured and the probe contacts the first stop 43, the displacement sensor 45 can measure the displacement of the probe in real time and accurately, and convert it into an electrical signal for output. By processing and analyzing these electrical signals, the thickness of the object to be measured can be accurately calculated. Compared with traditional mechanical measurement methods, the high-precision measurement of the displacement sensor 45 can provide more accurate and reliable thickness data.

[0029] In this example, the probe mounting plate 41 is firmly connected to the intermediate base plate 13 of the frame 1, the probe mounting block 42 is stably mounted on the probe mounting plate 41, and the first stop block 43 is mounted on the clamping fixing plate 33 of the clamping mechanism 3. This arrangement can reduce the influence of external vibration, impact and other factors on the measurement process and ensure the stability of the thickness detection mechanism 4 during the measurement process. The thickness detection mechanism 4 can adapt to the measurement of objects with different thickness ranges by adjusting the range of the displacement sensor 45 and the stroke of the probe. Whether it is a thin material or a thick workpiece, accurate measurement can be achieved by selecting a displacement sensor 45 with a suitable range and adjusting the installation position of the probe. The first stop block 43 is mounted on the clamping fixing plate 33 of the clamping mechanism 3. The clamping mechanism 3 can be designed and adjusted according to the shape of the object to be measured to ensure that it can firmly clamp objects of different shapes. At the same time, the probe of the displacement sensor 45 can adapt to the measurement of the surface of objects of different shapes under the guidance of the guide rod 44.

[0030] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping guide rail 31, a fixed support plate 32, a clamping fixing plate 33, a clamping pressure plate 34, a pressure sensor 35, a motor fixing bracket 36, a clamping motor 37, and a lead screw 38. The clamping guide rail 31 is mounted on the frame 1; The fixed support plate 32 is movably mounted on the clamping guide rail 31. The clamping fixing plate 33 is connected to the fixed support plate 32. The clamping pressure plate 34 and the pressure sensor 35 are both mounted on the clamping fixing plate 33. The motor fixing bracket 36 is mounted on the frame 1, and the clamping motor 37 is mounted on the motor fixing bracket 36. The lead screw 38 is connected to the output shaft of the clamping motor 37 and is connected to the clamping fixing plate 33 through a flange. When the clamping motor 37 works, it drives the clamping pressure plate 34 to clamp the object to be tested. When the pressure sensor 35 detects that the clamping force has reached the rated value, the clamping motor 37 maintains the pressure.

[0031] As an example, the clamping guide rail 31 is mounted on the side plate 11 of the frame 1, providing a stable motion track for the entire clamping mechanism 3. The fixed support plate 32 is mounted on the slider of the clamping guide rail 31 and can move precisely along the clamping guide rail 31, thereby driving the connected clamping fixing plate 33, clamping pressure plate 34, and pressure sensor 35 to move accurately. This enables precise positioning and motion control, ensuring that the clamping pressure plate 34 can accurately reach the clamping position of the object to be measured, providing a stable and accurate reference for subsequent thickness measurement and reducing measurement errors caused by clamping position deviations. The pressure sensor 35 is mounted on the clamping fixing plate 33 and can detect the magnitude of the clamping force in real time. When the clamping motor 37 operates and drives the clamping plate 34 to clamp the object to be measured, the pressure sensor 35 will accurately sense the change in clamping force. Once the clamping force reaches the rated value, the clamping motor 37 maintains the pressure, so that the object to be measured is subjected to a stable clamping force during the measurement process. This can avoid the slight displacement or deformation of the object to be measured due to uneven force or fluctuation of clamping force, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of thickness measurement.

[0032] In this example, the clamping motor 37 drives the clamping plate 33 to move via the lead screw 38 and flanges (including the lead screw flange 39 and the connecting flange 310; specifically, the lead screw flange 39 is mounted on the lead screw 38, one end of the connecting flange 310 is connected to the lead screw flange 39, and the other end of the connecting flange 310 is connected to the clamping plate 33), thus achieving the clamping action. The lead screw drive has the characteristics of high transmission accuracy, smooth movement, and good reliability, which can ensure that the clamping plate 34 clamps the object to be measured at a stable speed and force. Compared with other transmission methods, the lead screw drive is less prone to slippage and jamming, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the clamping action. The combination of the clamping guide rail 31 and the slider allows the fixed support plate 32 to move within a certain range, thereby driving the clamping plate 34 to adjust the clamping position. This allows the clamping mechanism 3 to adapt to objects of different sizes. Whether it is a workpiece with a large width and length or a small part, accurate clamping can be achieved by adjusting the position of the clamping plate 34. The pressure sensor 35 can feed back the clamping force data to the control system in real time. The control system can adjust the working state of the clamping motor 37 in real time according to the preset clamping force rating. When the clamping force does not reach the rated value, the control system will control the clamping motor 37 to continue working and increase the clamping force; when the clamping force reaches the rated value, the control system will control the clamping motor 37 to maintain the pressure, so that the clamping force is stable within a suitable range. This real-time pressure monitoring and feedback mechanism realizes intelligent control of the clamping process and improves the accuracy and reliability of clamping.

[0033] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2The frame 1 includes two side plates 11, two frame uprights 12, and a middle base plate 13; the two side plates 11 and the two frame uprights 12 enclose a receiving space; the two ends of the middle base plate 13 are respectively connected to the two side plates 11, separating the receiving space to form two completely symmetrical thickness measuring cavities; each thickness measuring cavity is provided with a clamping mechanism 3, and a thickness detection mechanism 4 is provided on the middle base plate 13 and a clamping mechanism 3.

[0034] As an example, frame 1 is enclosed by two side plates 11 and two frame uprights 12 to form an accommodating space. The intermediate base plate 13 divides this accommodating space into two completely symmetrical thickness measuring cavities. This fully utilizes the three-dimensional space of frame 1, enabling the device to perform two independent thickness measurement operations simultaneously within a limited space, thus improving space utilization. The complete symmetry of the two thickness measuring cavities minimizes measurement errors caused by asymmetry in the frame structure. The external interferences (such as vibration and temperature changes) experienced by the two thickness measuring cavities are essentially the same, making the measurement results more comparable and reliable. Each thickness measuring cavity is equipped with a clamping mechanism 3, and the thickness detection mechanism 4 is mounted on the intermediate base plate 13 and a clamping mechanism 3. The independent thickness measuring cavity design ensures that the two measurement processes are independent and do not interfere with each other. During the measurement process, the operation of one thickness measuring cavity will not affect the measurement results of the other thickness measuring cavity, thereby ensuring the accuracy and independence of each measurement result. When the two thickness measuring cavities perform measurement operations simultaneously, the forces generated can be balanced, reducing the deformation of frame 1 caused by uneven stress, which helps to extend the service life of the equipment and improve its reliability. Frame 1 also includes multiple frame support plates 14, which are mounted on two side plates 11 and / or two frame uprights 12 to securely mount frame 1 onto the frame of the wrapping machine.

[0035] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are two clamping mechanisms 3; the two clamping mechanisms 3 are arranged symmetrically along the conveying direction of the conveying line mechanism 2, and the conveying line mechanism 2 is located between the two clamping mechanisms 3.

[0036] As an example, two clamping mechanisms 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transport line mechanism 2, capable of simultaneously applying clamping forces from the left and right (or other relative directions) of the object to be measured. This dual-sided clamping method allows for more precise positioning of the object, ensuring it remains stable and accurate in the measurement position. The symmetrical arrangement ensures that the object is subjected to symmetrical clamping forces, making the direction of the resultant force easier to control and minimizing deformation caused by uneven force. The two clamping mechanisms 3 can simultaneously clamp two objects or prepare for synchronous measurement on both sides of the same object. In the case of continuous object transport by the transport line mechanism 2, this parallel operation mode significantly shortens the inspection cycle for each object, improving overall production efficiency. Since the two clamping mechanisms 3 can work independently or collaboratively, when one clamping mechanism 3 completes clamping and measurement, the other can simultaneously prepare to clamp the next object, reducing waiting time and making the production process more compact and efficient.

[0037] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The transport line mechanism 2 is equipped with a stop mechanism 5 and a lifting mechanism 6. The transport line mechanism 2 is used to transport the object to be measured to the inside of the frame 1. The stop mechanism 5 is used to stop the object to be measured. The lifting mechanism 6 is used to lift the object to be measured to the measurement position. The frame 1 is also equipped with a push rod mechanism 7, which is used to push the object to be measured from the measurement position onto the transport line mechanism 2.

[0038] As an example, the transport line mechanism 2 is equipped with a stopping mechanism 5 and a lifting mechanism 6. The stopping mechanism 5 can accurately stop the object to be measured when it is transported into the frame 1 by the transport line mechanism 2, preventing the object from deviating from the predetermined measurement position due to inertia, thus providing an accurate basis for subsequent lifting and measurement operations. The lifting mechanism 6 lifts the stopped object to the measurement position, placing it at a stable height and posture suitable for measurement. The frame 1 is also equipped with a push rod mechanism 7, which can push the measured object back from the measurement position to the transport line mechanism 2, completing the closed loop of the entire measurement process. This allows the object to be measured to leave the measurement area smoothly, preparing for the measurement of the next object, and ensuring the continuity and orderliness of the measurement process. The coordinated operation of the stop mechanism 5, the lifting mechanism 6, and the push rod mechanism 7 enables the automatic stop, lifting, and reset of the object to be measured, greatly reducing the need for manual operation; moreover, the use of automated mechanisms makes the measurement process faster and more efficient, improving overall production efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2The transport line mechanism 2 includes a transport seat support plate 21, a transport base plate 22, two transport line uprights 23, and a transport line 24. The transport base plate 22 is mounted on the transport seat support plate 21. The two transport line uprights 23 are spaced apart on the transport base plate 22. The transport line 24 is mounted on the two transport line uprights 23 and is used to transport the object to be tested.

[0040] As an example, the conveyor support foot plate 21 serves as the basic support component of the entire conveyor line mechanism 2, specifically mounted on the frame of the wrapping machine, providing a stable load-bearing platform for the conveyor base plate 22. Two conveyor line uprights 23 are spaced apart on the conveyor base plate 22, forming the mounting frame of the conveyor line 24. This not only provides sufficient installation space for the conveyor line 24 but also enhances the rigidity of the entire structure. The spacing between the two conveyor line uprights 23 can disperse the stress generated during the operation of the conveyor line 24, preventing structural deformation due to localized stress concentration. The spacing between the two conveyor line uprights 23 is flexible and can be adjusted according to the size of the object to be measured, meeting the conveying needs of objects of different sizes and expanding the application range of the equipment. For objects with larger widths, the spacing between the two conveyor line uprights 23 can be appropriately increased; for objects with smaller widths, the spacing can be decreased.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 The stopping mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 51, a stopping guide rail 52, a cylinder fixing block 53, a connecting block 54, a second stop block 55, and a stopping cylinder 56. The fixed frame 51 is installed on the transport line 24 of the transport line mechanism 2. The stopping guide rail 52 and the cylinder fixing block 53 are both installed on the fixed frame 51. The connecting block 54 is movably installed on the stopping guide rail 52. The second stop block 55 is installed on the connecting block 54. The stopping cylinder 56 is installed on the cylinder fixing block 53. The top of the stopping cylinder 56 is connected to the connecting block 54. When the stopping cylinder 56 works, it drives the connecting block 54 to move along the stopping guide rail 52, and the second stop block 55 stops the object to be measured.

[0042] As an example, the fixing frame 51 is installed on the transport line 24 of the transport line mechanism 2, providing stable support for the entire stopping mechanism 5; the cylinder fixing block 53 is installed on the fixing frame 51, further enhancing the stability of the stopping cylinder 56. The stopping guide rail 52 provides precise guidance for the movement of the second stop block 55; when the stopping cylinder 56 works, the connecting block 54 moves along the stopping guide rail 52, driving the second stop block 55 to accurately reach the predetermined position. This ensures that the second stop block 55 can stop the object under test at the same position every time, avoiding measurement errors or production failures caused by stopping position deviations. The stopping guide rail 52 constrains the movement of the connecting block 54, making the movement of the second stop block 55 smoother; the connecting block 54 slides on the slider of the stopping guide rail 52, reducing friction and shaking during movement, preventing the second stop block 55 from deviating or jamming during movement, which helps improve the stability of stopping and ensures that the object under test can be accurately stopped at the designated position.

[0043] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 6 includes a cylinder fixing base plate 61, a lifting cylinder 62, a lifting push block 63, a lifting block fixing plate 64, a lifting block 65, a lifting guide rail 66, and a lifting plate 67. The cylinder fixing base plate 61 is installed on the conveying base plate 22 of the conveying line mechanism 2. The lifting cylinder 62 is installed above the cylinder fixing base plate 61. The lifting push block 63 is connected to the top of the lifting cylinder 62. The lifting block fixing plate 64 is installed on the lifting push block 63, and the lifting block 65 is installed on the lifting block fixing plate 64. The lifting guide rail 66 is installed on the conveying line upright plate 23 of the conveying line mechanism 2. The lifting plate 67 is installed on the lifting block fixing plate 64 and connected to the slider of the lifting guide rail 66. When the lifting cylinder 62 operates, it drives the lifting plate 67 to move along the lifting guide rail 66, so that the lifting push block 63 lifts the object to be measured to the measurement position.

[0044] As an example, the cylinder fixing base plate 61 is installed on the conveying base plate 22 of the conveyor mechanism 2, providing a stable support foundation for the lifting cylinder 62, ensuring stable operation of the lifting cylinder 62, and avoiding lifting instability caused by cylinder shaking. The lifting guide rail 66 is installed on the conveyor upright plate 23 of the conveyor mechanism 2, and the lifting plate 67 is installed on the lifting block fixing plate 64 and connected to the slider of the lifting guide rail 66. This configuration provides precise guidance for the movement of the lifting plate 67. When the lifting cylinder 62 works and drives the lifting push block 63 to rise, the lifting plate 67 moves vertically along the lifting guide rail 66, ensuring that the lifting block 65 can accurately lift the object to be measured to the measurement position. The lifting guide rail 66 constrains the movement of the lifting plate 67, reducing friction and shaking during the movement. The lifting plate 67 moves with the slider of the lifting guide rail 66, making the lifting movement of the lifting block 65 more stable, avoiding deviation or jamming during the lifting process, improving the stability of the measurement, ensuring that the object under test will not shift position during the lifting process, and thus ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0045] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 The push rod mechanism 7 includes a push rod mounting base plate 71, a push rod adjusting plate 72, a push rod upright plate 73, a push rod guide rail 74, a push rod cylinder 75, a push rod connecting slider 76, and a push rod 77. The push rod mounting base plate 71 is mounted on the intermediate base plate 13 of the frame 1. The push rod adjusting plate 72 is mounted on the push rod mounting base plate 71, and the push rod upright plate 73 is mounted on the push rod adjusting plate 72. The push rod guide rail 74 and the push rod cylinder 75 are both mounted on the push rod upright plate 73. The push rod connecting slider 76 is movably mounted on the push rod guide rail 74, and the push rod 77 is mounted on the push rod connecting slider 76. The push rod cylinder 75 is connected to the push rod connecting slider 76. When the push rod cylinder 75 operates, it drives the push rod connecting slider 76 to move along the push rod guide rail 74, so that the push rod 77 pushes the object to be measured from the measuring position to the transport line mechanism 2.

[0046] As an example, the push rod mounting base plate 71 is mounted on the intermediate base plate 13 of the frame 1, providing a stable support foundation for the entire push rod mechanism 7; the push rod adjusting plate 72 is mounted on the push rod mounting base plate 71, and the push rod upright plate 73 is mounted on the push rod adjusting plate 72, further enhancing the stability of the structure. The push rod guide rail 74 is mounted on the push rod upright plate 73, the push rod connecting slider 76 is mounted on the slider of the push rod guide rail 74, and the push rod 77 is mounted on the push rod connecting slider 76. This configuration provides precise guidance for the movement of the push rod 77; when the push rod cylinder 75 operates, the push rod connecting slider 76 moves smoothly along the push rod guide rail 74, driving the push rod 77 to accurately push the object to be measured from the measuring position to the transport line mechanism 2 according to the predetermined trajectory. The push rod guide rail 74 constrains the movement of the push rod connecting slider 76, reducing friction and wobbling during movement. The push rod connecting slider 76 moves with the slider of the push rod guide rail 74, making the pushing motion of the push rod 77 smoother, avoiding deviation or jamming during pushing, improving the reliability of pushing, and ensuring that the object to be measured can smoothly reach the transport line mechanism 2 from the measurement position. The push rod adjusting plate 72 is mounted on the push rod mounting base plate 71. By adjusting the position of the push rod adjusting plate 72, the installation height and angle of the push rod upright plate 73 can be changed, thereby adjusting the pushing position and direction of the push rod 77. This allows the push rod mechanism 7 to adapt to pushing requirements in different positions and directions, making it suitable for various production scenarios and equipment layouts.

[0047] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The thickness measurement module also includes a cleaning mechanism 8, which is installed on the frame 1 and located at the input end of the transport line mechanism 2. It is used to perform large-area cleaning of the object to be measured.

[0048] As an example, the thickness measuring module also includes a cleaning mechanism 8. During installation, the cleaning mechanism 8 is mounted on the frame 1, located at the input end of the transport line mechanism 2. It can perform large-area cleaning of the object to be measured, effectively removing surface adhering substances, so that the thickness measuring module measures the true thickness data of the object to be measured, thereby greatly improving the accuracy of the measurement. The cleaning mechanism 8, the transport line mechanism 2, and the thickness detection mechanism 4 work together to form an automated production process. Driven by the transport line mechanism 2, the object to be measured passes through the cleaning mechanism 8 for cleaning in sequence, and then enters the frame 1 to be measured by the thickness detection mechanism 4. The entire process requires no manual intervention, realizing continuous and efficient production.

[0049] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism 8 includes a brush holder 81 and a brush 82; the brush holder 81 is installed on the side plate 11 of the frame 1; the brush 82 is set on the brush holder 81 and cleans the two sides of the object to be measured.

[0050] As an example, the cleaning mechanism 8 includes a brush holder 81 and a brush 82. During installation, the brush holder 81 is mounted on the side plate 11 of the frame 1. The installation method is flexible and can be adjusted according to the actual spatial layout of the equipment and cleaning needs. The brush 82 is set on the brush holder 81 to clean both sides of the object to be measured, which greatly improves cleaning efficiency compared to single-sided cleaning. The brush holder 81 can be designed to be adjustable, for example, adjusting parameters such as the height, angle, or pressure of the brush 82.

[0051] This utility model provides a coating machine, including a thickness measuring module.

[0052] As an example, the coating machine includes a thickness measuring module, which measures the thickness of the battery. The battery is then transported via a conveyor line mechanism 2, allowing for immediate measurement and removal without waiting for loading and unloading, thus improving measurement efficiency. The transport and measurement of the object to be measured are separate and do not interfere with each other, ensuring good measurement stability. During measurement, the object to be measured and the thickness detection mechanism 4 do not move relative to each other, preventing scratches to the battery's blue film. The various components of the thickness measuring module (frame 1, conveyor line mechanism 2, clamping mechanism 3, and thickness detection mechanism 4) are relatively independent, and the modular design makes equipment maintenance and repair more convenient. When a component malfunctions, the faulty module can be quickly located and replaced without requiring large-scale disassembly and repair of the entire equipment. This design not only reduces equipment downtime and maintenance costs but also improves the overall reliability and availability of the equipment.
