Vehicle battery inspection device
The vehicle battery inspection device includes a circular ring-shaped rail 10 ; a vehicle stand 20 that is arranged inside the rail 10 , on the vehicle stand 20 the vehicle can self-travel substantially along the axial direction of the rail 10 ; a vehicle stand driver 30 that movably supports the vehicle stand 20 ; an X-ray source 40 configured to be movable along a circumferential direction of the rail 10 and irradiates the vehicle on the vehicle stand 20 with X-rays; an X-ray detector 50 configured to be movable in synchronization with the X-ray source 40 along the circumferential direction while being held in an orientation facing the X-ray source 40 and detects the X-rays to output an X-ray CT image of the battery; and a controller 90 which controls the vehicle stand driver 30 to arrange the battery at a location of inspection with the X-rays.
1. A vehicle battery inspection device for inspecting a battery mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
a rail that has a circular ring shape and is installed with an axial direction thereof extending substantially along a horizontal direction;
a vehicle stand that is arranged inside the rail, on the vehicle stand the vehicle can self-travel substantially along the axial direction of the rail;
a vehicle stand driver that movably supports the vehicle stand arranged inside the rail;
an X-ray source configured to be movable along a circumferential direction of the rail and irradiates the vehicle on the vehicle stand with X-rays;
an X-ray detector configured to be movable in synchronization with the X-ray source along the circumferential direction of the rail while being held in an orientation facing the X-ray source on the rail, and detects the X-rays emitted from the X-ray source to output an X-ray CT image of the battery;
a controller which controls the vehicle stand driver to arrange the battery at a location of inspection with the X-rays emitted from the X-ray source; and
an imager that images the vehicle;
wherein the controller controls the imager to image the vehicle arranged on the vehicle stand, and the controller extracts information of internal structure of the vehicle related to the battery from a design drawing corresponding to the vehicle based on the image of the vehicle imaged by the imager, and controls the vehicle stand driver based on the information from the design drawing,
wherein the information includes size of the battery, an installation location of the battery on the vehicle, and a shape of the battery.
2. The vehicle battery inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is provided with a marker that is detectable by the X-ray detector.
