Abstract

A battery replacement system (1) according to the present disclosure comprises a vehicle (2) and a battery replacement device (4). The vehicle is provided with: a battery accommodation unit (23) in which a battery is accommodated and which is open in a first direction; and a reflection unit (40) that is adjacent to the battery accommodation unit in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The battery replacement device is provided with: a removal/insertion mechanism (50) that removes and inserts the battery from and into the vehicle in a third direction and is capable of moving in the third direction and a fourth direction orthogonal to the third direction; a light-receiving/emitting unit (9) that is attached adjacent to the removal/insertion mechanism in the fourth direction, emits laser light in the third direction, and is capable of detecting the laser light reflected by the reflection unit; and a control device (10) for controlling the operation of the removal/insertion mechanism. The control device causes the removal/insertion mechanism to move in the fourth direction, with respect to a vehicle that has approached the battery replacement device, in such a way that the first direction and the third direction are aligned with one another, until the light-receiving/emitting unit detects the laser light reflected by the reflection unit.

Abstract

Provided is a method for quantitatively diagnosing damage to TBC. A diagnosis method is a method for diagnosing a damage state of a coating material coated on a surface of a member and includes: a step of setting a diagnosis target portion in an image obtained by capturing the surface of the member; a step of specifying a reference portion in the image; a step of individually calculating L*a*b* values of the diagnosis target portion and the reference portion; a step of calculating a color difference between the L*a*b* values of the diagnosis target portion and the L*a*b* values of the reference portion; and a step of diagnosing the damage state of the diagnosis target portion from the color difference.

Abstract

In this battery replacement system, a vehicle is provided with: a battery accommodation unit in which a battery is accommodated and which is open in a first direction; and a light emitter which is adjacent to the battery accommodation unit in a second direction and emits laser light in the first direction. A battery replacement device comprises: a removal/insertion mechanism for removing and inserting the battery in a third direction; two light receivers arranged in a fourth direction so as to be adjacent to the removal/insertion mechanism in the fourth direction; and a control device. The control device has: a first movement unit that, with respect to the vehicle that has approached the battery replacement device so that the first direction is along the third direction, moves the removal/insertion mechanism in the fourth direction until one of the light receivers detects the laser light; a second movement unit that moves the removal/insertion mechanism in the third direction after the movement by the first movement unit; and a switching unit that switches the movement by the second movement unit to the movement by the first movement unit when the other light receiver has detected the laser light.
