[0076] The first size detection device 20 can be fixed to the frame 10 by means of screws, snaps, etc., so that it can be flexibly disassembled and installed. The first size detection device 20 is used to detect the features of the end face of the battery 50 to be tested, and different first size detection devices 20 can be used to detect the features of different end faces of the battery 50 to be tested, such as the features of the two end faces of the battery 50 to be tested; the second size detection device 30 can be fixed to the frame 10 by means of screws, snaps, etc., so that it can be flexibly disassembled and installed.

In some embodiments, the first motion device 201 can be a servo control device; the second motion device 301 can be a servo control device.

[0077] The first image acquisition device 202 can be fixed to the first motion device 201 by screws, clips, etc., so that it can be flexibly removed and installed. The first motion device 201 is used to drive the first image acquisition device 202 to move in different directions within a plane, for example, horizontally or vertically. The first image acquisition component 202 can include multiple image acquisition cameras of the same type or multiple image acquisition cameras of different types.

[0078] The second image acquisition assembly 302 can be fixed to the second motion device 301 by screws, clips, or the like, allowing for flexible removal and installation.

The second image acquisition assembly 302 can include multiple image acquisition cameras of the same type or multiple image acquisition cameras of different types.

[0079] In this embodiment of the present application, after the first image acquisition device 202 is mounted on the first motion device 201, the first image acquisition device 202 can be calibrated. After the second image acquisition assembly 302 is mounted on the second motion device 202, the second image acquisition assembly 302 can be calibrated. Accordingly, the first motion device 201 is driven to adjust the calibrated first image acquisition assembly 202 to a working position near the inspection area, and the second motion device 202 is driven to adjust the calibrated second image acquisition assembly 302 to a working position near the inspection area. Afterwards, the measured calibration block can be placed within the inspection area of ​​the rack 10, and the adjusted first and second image acquisition assemblies 202 and 302 are activated to perform camera coordinate system calibration on the images captured by the calibration block. After camera coordinate system calibration is complete, the calibration block can be replaced, and the battery to be tested can be placed within the inspection area of ​​the rack 10. The calibrated first and second image acquisition assemblies 202 and 302 are then activated to perform geometric tolerance or dimensional inspection on the captured images of the battery to be tested.

[0080] The dimensional inspection equipment described in the embodiments of this application provides a device for inspecting the form and position tolerances on various surfaces of large-scale products. Dimension inspection devices are designed for each surface, tailored to the inspection requirements. This enables comprehensive dimensional information collection and inspection, which can improve inspection accuracy to a certain extent. In some embodiments, the dimensional inspection equipment can also perform quantitative measurements of the batteries being tested, obtaining quantified values ​​for the measurement results.

[0081] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5 , the first motion device 201 includes a first linear motion mechanism 2011 and a first lifting mechanism 2012. The first linear motion mechanism 2011 is configured to drive the first lifting mechanism 2012 to move in a first direction, which is within a horizontal plane. The first image acquisition assembly 202 is mounted on the first lifting mechanism 2012, which is configured to drive the first image acquisition assembly 202 up and down. (Number 201 is not shown in FIG5 ; number 201 includes both 2011 and 212).

[0082] The first linear motion mechanism 2011 can be a horizontal sliding shaft equipped with a sliding block that can move on the horizontal sliding shaft, and the first lifting mechanism 2012 can be mounted on the horizontal sliding shaft to drive the first lifting mechanism 2012 to move horizontally. The first lifting mechanism 2012 can be a vertical sliding shaft equipped with a sliding block that can move on the vertical sliding shaft, and the first image acquisition assembly 202 can be mounted on the vertical sliding shaft to drive the first image acquisition assembly 202 to move vertically.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first image acquisition component 202 may include a first contour camera 2021 and at least one first area array inspection camera 2022 ( FIG. 5 shows only two first area array inspection cameras 2022 , but the number of first area array inspection cameras 2022 is not limited). Both the first contour camera 2021 and the first area array inspection camera 2022 are positioned toward the battery under test. The first contour camera 2021 is used to capture a contour feature image of one end face of the product under test and perform end face profile detection; the first area array inspection camera 2022 is used to capture a hole feature image on one end face of the product under test and perform end panel hole detection.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first image acquisition component 202 may include one first area array detection camera 2022, or may include multiple first area array detection cameras 2022. When the first image acquisition component 202 includes multiple first area array detection cameras 2022, the multiple first area array detection cameras 2022 may have different fields of view or the same field of view. The field of view of the first image acquisition component 202 may be expanded by providing multiple area array detection cameras.

[0085] In some embodiments, before use, the first area array detection camera 2022 and the first contour camera 2021 need to correspond their pixel sizes to their working sizes, and the first area array detection camera 2022 and the first contour camera 2021 can calculate the field of view by measuring the planned workstation working distance and lens parameters, and then calculate the actual distance corresponding to a single pixel based on the corresponding field of view. After the calculation is completed, the theoretical working distance of the first area array detection camera 2022 and the first contour camera 221 at the working distance can be obtained.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first area array detection camera 2022 and the first contour camera 2021 need to be calibrated in the coordinate system based on the measurement values ​​and image feature values ​​of the calibration block before use; specifically, the corresponding coordinate system rigid body transformation equations and rotation matrix equations can be imported based on the measurement values ​​and image feature values ​​of the corresponding calibration block based on the Euclidean transformation principle to obtain the association relationship between the camera coordinate system and the product coordinate system (or world coordinate system), so that based on this association relationship, the coordinate systems of different cameras at different imaging stations can be projected onto the product coordinate system, thereby constructing a visual testing system through calculation to realize the behavioral tolerance testing function.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first image acquisition component 202 (label 202 is not shown in FIG. 5 , and 202 includes 2021 and 2022 ) may include two first area array detection cameras 2022, and the two first area array detection cameras 2022 may be horizontally arranged side by side on the first lifting mechanism 2012, or the two first area array detection cameras 2022 may be vertically arranged side by side on the first lifting mechanism 2012. The first contour camera 2021 may be arranged at a corresponding position on the same plane as the first area array detection cameras 2022, or may be arranged at a corresponding position on a different plane from the first area array detection cameras 2022.

[0088] In some embodiments, the light source of one of the first area array inspection cameras 2022 is equipped with a diffuser, which softens the light path for image acquisition by the first area array inspection camera 2022 and simultaneously turns off the light source of the other first area array inspection camera 2022, creating a backlit working environment. This can be used to mitigate reflections and deformation on the surface of the battery under test caused by casting, greatly improving inspection accuracy. In some embodiments, the first contour camera 2021 can be a 3D line laser camera.

[0089] The first motion device in the dimensional inspection equipment described in the embodiments of this application can drive the first image acquisition assembly to move in two different directions, enabling the acquisition of image feature values ​​over a larger area on one end face of the battery under test, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent inspections based on these image feature values. In some embodiments, the first area array inspection cameras positioned at different locations can form a backlit scene to complete the inspection. The backlighting can highlight the characteristics of the sheet hole while blurring any interference on the product surface, thereby improving measurement accuracy.

[0090] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5 , the second motion device 301 includes a second linear motion mechanism 3011 and a second lifting mechanism 3012. The second linear motion mechanism 3011 is configured to drive the second lifting mechanism 3012 to move in a second direction, which is within a horizontal plane and intersects the first direction. The second image acquisition assembly 302 is mounted on the second lifting mechanism 3012, which is configured to drive the second image acquisition assembly 302 up and down. (Number 301 is not shown in FIG5 ; 301 includes both 3011 and 3012.)

The second lifting mechanism 2022 can be a vertical sliding shaft equipped with a sliding block that can move on the vertical sliding shaft, and the second image acquisition assembly 302 can be mounted on the vertical sliding shaft to drive the second image acquisition assembly 302 to move vertically.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second image acquisition component 302 may include a second contour camera 3021 and at least one second area array detection camera 3022 (only two second area array detection cameras 3022 are shown in FIG5 , but the number of second area array detection cameras 3022 is not limited. In some embodiments, due to the display angle of the figure, the second contour camera 3021 is not visible in FIG5 , but the second image acquisition component 302 in FIG5 includes the second contour camera 3021, and the second contour camera 3021 is set at a position adjacent to the second area array detection camera 3022, which can be seen from the setting position of the first contour camera 2021). The second contour camera 3021 and the second area array detection camera 3022 are both set toward the battery to be tested. The second contour camera 3021 is used to capture the shape feature image of the other end face of the product to be tested and to perform end face contour detection; the second area array detection camera 3022 is used to capture the hole feature image on the other end face of the product to be tested and to perform end panel hole detection.

[0093] In some embodiments, the second image acquisition component 302 (label 302 is not shown in FIG. 5 , but includes 3021 and 3022 ) may include one second area array detection camera 3022 , or may include multiple second area array detection cameras 3022 . When the second image acquisition component 302 includes multiple second area array detection cameras 3022 , the multiple second area array detection cameras 3022 may have different fields of view or the same field of view. The field of view of the second image acquisition component 302 may be expanded by providing multiple area array detection cameras.

[0094] In some embodiments, before use, the second area array detection camera 3022 and the second contour camera 3021 need to be aligned with their pixel size and working size. Furthermore, the second area array detection camera 3022 and the second contour camera 3021 can calculate the field of view by measuring the planned workstation working distance and lens parameters, and then calculate the actual distance corresponding to a single pixel based on the corresponding field of view. After the calculation is completed, the theoretical working distance of the second area array detection camera 3022 can be obtained. The second contour camera 3021 can be a 3D line laser camera.

[0095] In some embodiments, the second area array detection camera 3022 and the second contour camera 3021 need to be calibrated in the coordinate system based on the measurement values ​​and image feature values ​​of the calibration block before use; specifically, the corresponding coordinate system rigid body transformation equations and rotation matrix equations can be imported based on the measurement values ​​and image feature values ​​of the corresponding calibration block based on the Euclidean transformation principle to obtain the association relationship between the camera coordinate system and the product coordinate system (or world coordinate system), so that based on this association relationship, the coordinate systems of different cameras at different imaging stations can be projected onto the product coordinate system, thereby constructing a visual testing system through calculation to realize the behavioral tolerance testing function.

[0096] In some embodiments, the second image acquisition component 302 may include two second area array detection cameras 3022, and the two second area array detection cameras 3022 may be horizontally arranged side by side on the second lifting mechanism 2022, or the two second area array detection cameras 3022 may be vertically arranged side by side on the second lifting mechanism 2022. The second contour camera 3021 may be arranged at a corresponding position on the same plane as the second area array detection cameras 3022, or at a corresponding position on a different plane from the second area array detection cameras 3022.

[0097] The second motion device in the dimensional inspection equipment described in the embodiments of this application can drive the second image acquisition component to move in two different directions, capturing image feature values ​​from a larger area on the other end face of the battery under test, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent inspections based on these image feature values. In some embodiments, the second area array inspection cameras positioned at different locations can form a backlit scene to complete the inspection. The backlighting can highlight the characteristics of the sheet hole while blurring any interference on the product surface, thereby improving measurement accuracy.

[0098] In one embodiment, the size detection device shown in FIG1 further includes a third size detection device 40, which is disposed on the frame 10. The third size detection device 40 includes a third motion device 401 and a third image acquisition component 402. The third image acquisition component 402 is located above the battery to be tested, and the third motion device 401 is capable of driving the third image acquisition component 402 to move. (The reference numeral 401 is not shown in FIG1 . The third motion device 401 includes the third linear motion mechanism 4011 and the third lifting mechanism 4012 in FIG6 , i.e., the reference numerals 401 include 4011 and 4012; the reference numeral 402 is not shown in FIG1 . The third image acquisition component 402 includes the third contour camera 4022 and the third area array detection camera 4021 in FIG6 , i.e., the reference numerals 402 include 4021 and 4022).

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6, the third motion device 401 (the label 401 is not shown in Figure 6, and 401 includes 4011 and 4012) includes a third linear motion mechanism 4011 and a third lifting mechanism 4012. The third linear motion mechanism 4011 is configured to drive the third lifting mechanism 4012 to move along the first direction or the second direction. The second direction is in the horizontal plane and intersects with the first direction. The third image acquisition component 402 (the label 402 is not shown in Figure 6) is installed on the third lifting mechanism 4012. The third lifting mechanism 4012 is configured to drive the third image acquisition component 402 to rise and fall.

[0100] The third linear motion mechanism 4011 can be a horizontal sliding shaft equipped with a sliding block that can move on the horizontal sliding shaft, and a third lifting mechanism 4012 mounted thereon, thereby driving the third lifting mechanism 4012 to move horizontally. The third lifting mechanism 4012 can be a vertical sliding shaft equipped with a sliding block that can move on the vertical sliding shaft, and a third image acquisition assembly 402 mounted thereon, thereby driving the third image acquisition assembly 402 to move vertically.

[0101] In some embodiments, the third image acquisition component 402 may include a third area array detection camera 4021 and at least two third contour cameras 4022. Both the third area array detection camera 4021 and the third contour cameras are positioned toward the battery to be tested (only two third contour cameras 4022 are shown in FIG6 , but the number of third contour cameras 4022 is not limited). The third contour camera 4022 is used to capture contour feature images of the top surface of the product to be tested and to perform top surface contour degree detection; the third area array detection camera 4021 is used to capture hole feature images on the top surface of the product to be tested and to perform top panel hole detection. The above-mentioned third image acquisition component 402 can be used to establish product benchmarks, that is, based on the test requirements, the coordinate system features of the product need to be established, and the benchmark establishment logic needs to comply with the "surface, line, and point" logic. When completing the establishment of the A benchmark, a third contour camera 4022 on the top can be used to detect the benchmark point positions around the battery to be tested in the detection area. Secondly, the establishment of the remaining BC benchmarks is completed through the third array detection camera 4021 and the calibrated coordinate system association relationship. Since the B benchmark is located on a platform perpendicular to the A benchmark plane and the left and right positions are far apart, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of the benchmark feature establishment. Therefore, through the third motion device 401, the light source in the direction of the end face inlet and the camera in the direction of the end face outlet are linked so that the two are at the same height to form a backlight environment, which can effectively avoid the impact of product consistency while highlighting the feature edge contour; then, since the direction of the C benchmark has been restricted by the AB benchmark, a third contour camera 4022 can be used to complete the establishment, which can to a certain extent guarantee the accuracy of the detection starting point of each camera in the size detection equipment.

[0102] In some embodiments, when the third image acquisition component 402 includes multiple third contour cameras 4022, each third contour camera 4022 can be set at a different position on the third lifting mechanism 4012, and the field of view directions of different third contour cameras 4022 are different. For example, the third image acquisition component 4022 includes two third contour cameras 4022, one third contour camera 4022 can be set at a first position on the third lifting mechanism 4012, and another third contour camera 4022 can be set at a second position on the third lifting mechanism 4012, and the field of view direction of the third contour camera 4022 at the first position is perpendicular to the field of view direction of the third contour camera 4022 at the second position.

[0103] In some embodiments, before using the third area array inspection camera 4021 and the third contour camera 4022, the pixel sizes of the first area array inspection camera 2022 and the third contour camera 4022 need to be aligned with the working size. The first area array inspection camera 2022 and the third contour camera 4022 can calculate the field of view by measuring the planned workstation working distance and lens parameters, and then calculate the actual distance corresponding to a single pixel based on the corresponding field of view. After the calculation is completed, the theoretical working distance of the third area array inspection camera 4021 and the third contour camera 4022 can be obtained. The third contour camera 4022 can be a 3D line laser camera.

[0104] In some embodiments, the third area array detection camera 4021 and the third contour camera 4022 need to be calibrated in the coordinate system based on the measurement values ​​and image feature values ​​of the calibration block before use; specifically, the corresponding coordinate system rigid body transformation equations and rotation matrix equations can be imported based on the measurement values ​​and image feature values ​​of the corresponding calibration block based on the Euclidean transformation principle to obtain the association relationship between the camera coordinate system and the product coordinate system (or world coordinate system), so that based on this association relationship, the coordinate systems of different cameras at different imaging stations can be projected onto the product coordinate system, thereby constructing a visual testing system through calculation to realize the behavioral tolerance testing function.

[0105] It should be noted that before the calibration is performed based on the calibration block, the metrology room needs to use a higher-level precision metrology device (such as a gantry three-coordinate device) to measure the calibration block to obtain the measurement value of the calibration block. Among them, the design of the calibration block can be 1:1 with the product, and the detection position design features need to be used to simulate the working state of the equipment. In some embodiments, the material of the calibration block should meet the requirements of roughness <3.2 and the fluctuation of the shape and position tolerance of each plane <5% of the test tolerance. In addition, the consistency of the material around the design features of the calibration block should meet its test requirements based on the measurement logic and the arrangement of the measurement points. The calibration is not limited to position, contour, position, and flatness dimensions.

[0106] Any of the above embodiments provides a visual size inspection device for large-size battery packs, wherein a 3D line laser camera (contour camera) is used to correspond to the characteristics and calculation features of multi-point point selection, and a 2D area array camera is used to match the hole positions and sizes with good consistency, thereby improving test efficiency while simplifying the measurement action. At the same time, when measuring the hole size tolerance, the equipment uses end face size cameras in different positions (such as the front camera and the rear light source) to move to form a backlight scene to complete the inspection action. The backlight highlights the characteristics of the thin film hole position while blurring the interference on the product surface, thereby achieving the effect of improving measurement accuracy; secondly, through camera system calibration, large-size product automatic inspection is completed, the entire process is contactless and meets the beat, and each inspection axis system is adjustable for subsequent modification and maintenance and replacement. The two cooperate with each other to achieve a combination of high efficiency and high yield.

[0107] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG7 , the frame 10 in the size detection device shown in FIG1 may include a fixed frame 101 and a lifting platform 102, with the first size detection device 20 and the second size detection device 30 both disposed on the fixed frame 101; the battery to be tested 50 may be disposed in a detection area on the lifting platform 102. In some embodiments, the lifting platform 102 includes a workbench and a fourth lifting mechanism disposed at the bottom of the workbench, and the battery to be tested 50 is disposed in the detection area on the workbench. In some embodiments, the lifting platform 102 further includes a height sensor disposed on the workbench, the height sensor being used to detect the height of the battery to be tested 50 located in the detection area.

[0108] Among them, a tray can be set on the workbench to carry the battery 50 to be tested; the tray can be lifted by a double-cylinder lifting station, at which time the positioning pins of the lifting station will guide the left and right positioning of the tray according to the positioning holes at the bottom of the tray; in some embodiments, the positioning pins have a bevel design, which is convenient for correction when the tray position and the lifting station do not match; in some embodiments, a pull wire is also provided on the lifting platform 102, and the pull wire has a voltage stabilizing circuit and a hard limit to ensure that the height consistency difference of the product at the testing station is within the permitted range. The above-mentioned height sensor can sense the presence or absence of a tray, the presence or absence of materials, etc. by detecting the height of the platform. Moreover, the above-mentioned height sensor can realize the anti-mistake of the mechanism operation and prevent the equipment from colliding when the battery 50 to be tested is not in place. In actual testing equipment, since the battery 50 to be tested is large in size and heavy in weight, and the battery 50 to be tested needs to be benchmarked and positioned during use to ensure the measurement results, it is necessary to design an air path structure with a pressure-stabilizing circuit. At the same time, due to the load-bearing design, a dual-cylinder drive is adopted. In order to prevent the cylinder output from being asynchronous, a multi-solenoid valve control is designed to reduce the asynchronous situation. The pilot valve and the gas tank are designed in the air intake circuit as a pressure-stabilizing circuit, which can ensure the stability of the working pressure to a certain extent. At the same time, it serves as a pressure-stabilizing device after an accidental gas outage to prevent the jacking from falling too quickly, which can ensure the safety of the operator to a certain extent.

[0109] In some embodiments, the fourth lifting mechanism can be a lifting cylinder mechanism, and the fourth lifting mechanism can also be provided with a pressure-stabilizing gas tank 103, a pilot air inlet check valve 104, and a pilot air outlet check valve 105 to independently supply air during operation. In some embodiments, a throttle valve can be designed at the cylinder air inlet to adjust the air intake flow of the air circuit, thereby ensuring that the lifting speeds of the cylinders on both sides are consistent; in some embodiments, the top of the cylinder is provided with a floating joint to reduce the impact of different speeds on the mechanism; the pressure-stabilizing cylinder and the pilot valve can maximize the stability of the air pressure during each lifting, thereby improving the detection accuracy. In some embodiments, a lifting stop can also be provided on the workbench. In some embodiments, in order to ensure data accuracy during operation, it is necessary to ensure that the product is stable and unique in the equipment position, and in order to ensure position stability, a positioning pin based on a one-side two-pin positioning logic can be provided on the workbench.

[0110] In some embodiments, a cabinet may be further provided on the fixed frame 101 , and the cabinet may be used to house devices or components such as a pressure stabilizing tank, a solenoid valve, and a controller.

[0111] In one embodiment, the size detection device shown in Figure 1 also includes a controller (not shown in Figure 1) arranged on the frame 10, and the controller can drive the first motion device 201 to drive the first image acquisition component 202 to move, and drive the second motion device 301 to drive the second image acquisition component 302 to move.

[0112] The controller can be connected to the first motion device 201, the first image acquisition component 202, the second motion device 301, the second image acquisition component 302, the third motion device 401 and the third image acquisition component 402 respectively. When driving the first image acquisition component 202 and the second image acquisition component 302 to acquire the feature image, points can be taken on each feature on the battery 50 to be tested. Among them, the top surface, two measurements, and two end faces of the battery 50 to be tested need to be constructed by the above-mentioned image acquisition component to complete the plane point cloud construction to complete the contour detection. The hole feature on the top needs to be completed by the third image acquisition component 402 on the top to complete the image acquisition and position detection. In some embodiments, the controller can also be connected to the fourth lifting mechanism to control the lifting operation of the workbench to facilitate the feeding and unloading of the battery 50 to be tested and the calibration block. In some embodiments, the controller can also be connected to a height sensor to read the height data collected by the height sensor, so as to determine whether the product on the workbench is in a normal detection state.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller can calculate the deviation S1 between the actual characteristic value and the measurement value by the measurement value of the calibration block and the actual characteristic value of the battery 50 to be tested acquired by the aforementioned image acquisition components. At the same time, the transformation equation P between the product coordinate system and the world coordinate system can be obtained by the benchmark and the calibration of each image acquisition component. Based on the above deviation, the following relationship (1) can be obtained: D = L*P-(S0+S1) (1);

[0114] Wherein, D represents the distance from the feature to the discussion reference plane (or discussion reference line) in the world coordinate system of the battery to be tested, L represents a standard distance of the feature of the battery to be tested in the product coordinate system (for example, the distance from the hole to the reference line), S0 represents the characteristic value of the actual feature in the calibration block coordinate system, S1 represents the deviation between the actual characteristic value and the measured value, and P represents the transformation equation between the product coordinate system and the calibration block coordinate system (i.e., the world coordinate system).

[0115] Based on the above relationship (1), and then based on the form and position tolerance calculation method, and based on the deviation amount obtained by the test, the form and position tolerance reference data (for example, straightness, flatness, etc.) is obtained. For another example, the above D can be used to calculate the straightness in the form tolerance. The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve accurate measurement of product data through precise measurement control, thereby significantly reducing the loss of excellent rate of manual testing, while reducing the time occupied by conventional inspection tool maintenance and measurement, and to a certain extent, improving product production efficiency, thereby reducing production costs. It should be noted that the above form and position tolerance calculation method can be an existing form and position tolerance calculation method, for example, it can be divided into form tolerance calculation, position tolerance calculation, orientation tolerance calculation, etc.; wherein, form tolerance calculation includes straightness, flatness, roundness, cylindricity, line profile, surface profile, etc.; orientation tolerance calculation includes parallelism, inclination, verticality, etc.; position tolerance calculation includes position, concentricity, symmetry, etc.; for the specific implementation of the form and position tolerance calculation method, it belongs to the prior art and is not repeated here.

[0116] Based on any of the above-described embodiments of the dimension detection device, a dimension detection process or dimension detection method is implemented, which includes: controlling a first motion device to drive a first image acquisition component to move to a detection area to detect a battery to be tested, and controlling a second motion device to drive the second image acquisition component to move to the detection area to detect the battery to be tested, thereby obtaining a detection result. Specifically, during the detection process, the battery to be tested can be placed on a workbench in a rack; the first motion device is driven to drive the first image acquisition component to a first fixed position near the battery in the detection area, and the second motion device is driven to drive the second image acquisition component to a second fixed position near the battery in the detection area, so that the first image acquisition component and the second image acquisition component can respectively capture images of the battery; before a specific test, the first image acquisition component and the second image acquisition component can be calibrated based on a calibration block to establish an association between the world coordinate system and the camera coordinate system of the measurement point, or to establish an association between the product coordinate system and the camera coordinate system of the measurement point. During the specific test, the actual measured size can be calculated based on the above association. The size detection method described in the embodiment of the present application can use a motion device and an image acquisition component to automatically take pictures of oversized batteries, and can automatically capture measurement points, realizing a fully automatic detection method, thereby completing the detection of oversized batteries more efficiently and accurately.

[0117] In some embodiments, based on the size detection device described in any of the above embodiments, another size detection process or size detection method is provided, as shown in Figure 8, including: S501, debugging the position of the first image acquisition component and the position of the second image acquisition component; S502, calibrating the accuracy of the first image acquisition component and the second image acquisition component; S503, measuring the calibration block to obtain the measurement value of the calibration block; S504, controlling the first motion device to drive the first image acquisition component to move to the detection area toward the calibration block for image acquisition, and controlling the second motion device to drive the second image acquisition component to move to the detection area toward the calibration block for image acquisition, to obtain the image feature value of the calibration block; S505, according to the measurement value of the calibration block and the calibration block The image characteristic value of the calibration block is used to calibrate the coordinate system of the first image acquisition component and the second image acquisition component; S506, driving the fourth lifting mechanism to place the battery to be tested in the detection area, and establishing the product benchmark according to the calibrated first image acquisition component and the second image acquisition component to obtain the first image acquisition component and the second image acquisition component after the benchmark is established; S507, controlling the first motion device to drive the first image acquisition component after the benchmark is established to move to the detection area to capture the image of the battery, and controlling the second motion device to drive the second image acquisition component after the benchmark is established to move to the detection area to capture the image of the battery, and obtaining the characteristic image of the battery; S508, calculating according to the characteristic image of the battery and the measurement value of the calibration block to obtain the detection result.

[0118] It should be noted that when the computer device measures the calibration block, it can use a measuring instrument to measure the calibration block to obtain the measurement value of the calibration block; in some embodiments, the computer device can also control the fourth lifting mechanism at the bottom of the workbench to place the preset calibration block in the detection area, and measure the calibration block in the detection area to obtain the measurement value of the calibration block.
