WIRE DISCONNECTION INSPECTING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A wire disconnection inspecting device (10) includes a vehicle position recognition unit (17) for detecting that a vehicle (14) has reached an inspection position; a preparation timing recognition unit (24) for detecting that a step preceding by one is reached; a terminal (20) for transmitting an operation signal to an ECU (19) so as to make an electrical connection to a heating conductor (18); an infrared camera (22) for imaging a rear shield (16) of the vehicle (14); and a main processing unit (32) for acquiring thermal image data from the infrared camera (22) and inspecting disconnection of the heating conductor (18). The main processing unit (32) recognizes that the vehicle (14) has reached a step preceding by one according to the preparation timing recognition unit (24) and makes electrical connection to the heating conductor (18) via the terminal (20). The main processing unit (32) acquires the image data from the infrared camera (22) when the vehicle (14) has reached the inspection position.
