[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0063] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0064] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the battery separator surface coating quality testing method, battery separator surface coating quality testing device, electronic device, and readable storage medium provided in this application, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0065] Among them, the quality detection method for the coating on the surface of the battery separator can be applied to the terminal, and can be executed by the hardware or software in the terminal.

[0066] The terminal includes, but is not limited to, portable communication devices such as mobile phones or tablets with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads). It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the terminal may not be a portable communication device, but rather a desktop computer with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads).

[0067] The following embodiments describe a terminal including a display and a touch-sensitive surface. However, it should be understood that the terminal may include one or more other physical user interface devices such as a physical keyboard, mouse, and joystick.

[0068] The battery separator surface coating quality detection method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by an electronic device or a functional module or entity in an electronic device that can implement the battery separator surface coating quality detection method. The electronic devices mentioned in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, computers, cameras and wearable devices. The following uses an electronic device as the execution subject to describe the battery separator surface coating quality detection method provided in this application embodiment.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for detecting the quality of the coating on the surface of the battery separator includes steps 110, 120 and 130.

[0070] Step 110: Obtain multiple coated membrane images corresponding to multiple regions along the transverse direction of the coated membrane to be tested;

[0071] In this step, the coated diaphragm to be tested is a coated diaphragm obtained by coating the diaphragm with chemicals such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to modify it.

[0072] The image of the coated diaphragm is an image acquired by an image sensor.

[0073] Understandably, in actual implementation, multiple monitoring blocks can be set up, arranged at intervals along the transverse direction of the membrane to be coated, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0074] In an online coating production scenario, the diaphragm to be coated moves longitudinally, and the monitoring block collects images of the diaphragm moving to its field of view based on the acquisition interval, generating multiple images of the coated diaphragm.

[0075] Among them, multiple coated diaphragm images correspond one-to-one with multiple regions.

[0076] In some embodiments, step 110 may include: acquiring images of multiple regions corresponding to the coated diaphragm in the lateral direction based on transmission imaging or reflection imaging, thereby obtaining multiple coated diaphragm images.

[0077] In this embodiment, transmission imaging means that the light source and the camera are located on opposite sides of the coated diaphragm, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the darker points are PVDF particles. The gray values ​​of PVDF particles are about 5 to 15 DN lower than the gray values ​​of the normal background area.

[0078] Reflective imaging means that the light source and the camera are on the same side of the coated diaphragm, such as... Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the brighter points are PVDF particles. The gray values ​​of PVDF particles are about 10 to 30 DN higher than those of the normal background area.

[0079] Step 120: Process the target coated diaphragm image in multiple coated diaphragm images based on the template image to obtain the actual coating value corresponding to the target area in multiple regions;

[0080] In this step, the target coated diaphragm image can be any one of multiple coated diaphragm images.

[0081] The target area is the area on the diaphragm to be tested that corresponds to the target coated diaphragm image.

[0082] The template image shows a diaphragm without PVDF coating.

[0083] In actual implementation, the column background grayscale of the standard battery separator product image can be calculated, and the calculated column background grayscale of the product image can be used as the template image.

[0084] The actual coating value is used to characterize the PVDF coating status of the target area of ​​the coated diaphragm under test, and can be expressed as the amount of PVDF.

[0085] In some embodiments, step 120 may include:

[0086] Feature extraction is performed on the target coated membrane image based on the template image to obtain the target feature image;

[0087] Traverse the pixels of the target feature image to determine the actual coating value.

[0088] In this embodiment, the target feature image is ThresdImage.

[0089] In actual execution, the template image can be compared with the input target coated membrane image to obtain the DifImage, and then the DifImage can be binarized to obtain the ThresdImage.

[0090] It is understandable that in ThresdImage, the grayscale value of the pixel corresponding to the PVDF particle is 255, while the grayscale value of other pixels is 0.

[0091] Figure 5 An example is given of ThresdImage obtained by image processing of a target coated diaphragm image under transmission imaging.

[0092] In other embodiments, the input target coated membrane image can be image filtered to obtain a FilterImage, and then the FilterImage can be differentially divided with the corresponding target coated membrane image to obtain a DifImage. This application does not limit this.

[0093] In some embodiments, traversing the pixels of the target feature image to determine the actual coating value may include:

[0094] Traverse the pixels of the target feature image and obtain the number of pixels of the first spray point with a non-zero gray value;

[0095] The density of spray points corresponding to the target feature image is determined based on the number of pixels at the first spray point and the total number of pixels in the target feature image.

[0096] The actual coating value is determined based on the spray density.

[0097] In this embodiment, traversing the pixels of the target feature image may include traversing the pixels of ThresdImage sequentially from top to bottom and from left to right.

[0098] If the grayscale value is not 0, the pixel corresponding to the grayscale value is determined to be the spray point pixel, and the total number of spray point pixels nPVDFPixels (i.e. the number of first spray point pixels) is incremented by 1 until all pixels have been traversed.

[0099] Then, the ratio of nPVDFPixels to nTotalPixels (the total number of pixels) within the monitoring block is determined as the spray density of the target area corresponding to the current monitoring block.

[0100] Finally, the spray density is used as the actual coating value corresponding to the target feature image.

[0101] In some embodiments, before traversing the pixels of the target feature image to determine the actual coating value, the method may further include: filtering the target feature image to obtain a processed target feature image.

[0102] In this embodiment, for example, the ThresdImage can be filtered before the spray density calculation. For example, a connected component extraction algorithm can be used to obtain a RegionList. The grayscale of the pixels in the ThresdImage that are mapped to connected components with fewer than 3 pixels in the RegionList is set to 0 (i.e., they are not spray pixels). Finally, the filtered ThresdImage is used to calculate the spray density.

[0103] In this embodiment, by filtering the target feature image, the interference of a large number of interfering pixels (i.e., white pixels) in ThresdImage on the processing results can be reduced, the processing accuracy at high resolution imaging accuracy (e.g., 0.08mm / pixel) can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent judgment results.

[0104] In some embodiments, the target coated diaphragm image can be enhanced before the spray density calculation. For example, firstly, Sobel gradient extraction is performed on the target coated diaphragm image to obtain SobelImage, and then SobelImage is subjected to special binarization processing to obtain ThresdSobelImage. The special feature is that the gray values ​​of pixels with gray values ​​less than a set value (e.g., 20) or greater than a set value (e.g., 200) are set to 0, and the gray values ​​of other pixels are set to 255. Finally, ThresdSobelImage is used to calculate the spray density.

[0105] In some embodiments, determining the actual coating value based on the spray dot density may include: filtering the spray dot density to obtain the actual coating value.

[0106] In this embodiment, after obtaining the spray density, the spray density of each monitoring block in each frame can be filtered by processing the image frames as units, such as by using median filtering, mean filtering, or Gaussian filtering, to reduce the impact of interference in the diaphragm coating process on the accuracy of the spray density value, thereby making the spray density value sequence smoother and closer to the real-time production situation.

[0107] like Figure 11 As shown, after image processing of the target coated membrane image to obtain the spray density, the spray density can be further post-processed, such as filtered, to obtain the actual coating value corresponding to each monitoring block.

[0108] Of course, in other embodiments, the actual coating value can also be determined in other ways.

[0109] For example, the mean grayscale value of each target feature image can be directly obtained on SobelImage to replace the spray point density value for uniformity monitoring.

[0110] The contrast between the pixel corresponding to the spray point and the background pixel is between 5 and 15 DN, and the proportion of spray point pixels is between 10 and 40%. Within a unit area, such as a monitoring block of size 500*500 pixels, the more spray point pixels there are, the greater the grayscale average value in SobelImage, and vice versa.

[0111] According to the battery separator surface coating quality detection method provided in the embodiments of this application, the method traverses the target features. Figure 5 The image's pixels determine the actual coating value, offering high precision and accuracy, which helps improve the accuracy and precision of the detection results.

[0112] Step 130: Determine the coating quality of the membrane to be tested based on the actual coating value and the target threshold.

[0113] In this step, the target threshold is a standard value used to evaluate the coating quality of the coated diaphragm under test.

[0114] The target threshold can be user-defined, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0115] The target threshold can be a range. When the actual coating value is within the range corresponding to the target threshold, it indicates that the coating is relatively uniform. When it is not within the range corresponding to the target threshold, such as being higher or lower than the target threshold, it indicates that the spray density in that area exceeds the upper and lower limits.

[0116] In some embodiments, step 130 may include:

[0117] Determine the target curve based on the actual coating values;

[0118] Based on the target curve and the target threshold, the first coating uniformity in the transverse direction and the second coating uniformity in the longitudinal direction of the coated diaphragm under test are determined.

[0119] In this embodiment, the horizontal axis of the target curve is the image frame number or the number of meters, and the vertical axis is the spray point density. The specific spray point density value of each monitoring block can be represented by different curves. The target threshold can be a range, displayed in the same image as the target curve, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0120] Continue to refer to Figure 6 The coating uniformity in the machine direction (MD) can be determined by visual inspection.

[0121] The coating uniformity of the diaphragm in the transverse direction (TD) can be obtained by measuring the changes in the size values ​​of each monitoring block in the same frame or several adjacent frames.

[0122] When a certain segment of the target curve does not fall within the range corresponding to the target threshold, such as Figure 6 The first and third paragraphs

[0123] If the fifth curve segment is below the target threshold, it indicates that the spray points in the corresponding area are either under-sprayed or have missed 5 sprays; Figure 6 In the fourth segment, if most of the spray points are within the target threshold, it indicates that the spray point situation in the area corresponding to the curve within the target threshold is normal. For the part that is above the target threshold, it indicates that the spray point situation in the area corresponding to the curve that is above the target threshold is excessive spraying.

[0124] According to the battery separator surface coating quality detection method provided in this application embodiment, the actual coating value is determined based on multiple coating separator images corresponding to multiple regions along the transverse direction of the coated separator under test. Based on the actual coating value and a target threshold, the coating quality of the coated separator under test is determined. This method can detect the uniformity of the coating in both the MD and TD directions.

[0125] The detection process is efficient and effective, requiring no manual judgment.

[0126] In some embodiments, after step 130, the method may further include: outputting an alarm message if the actual coating value exceeds the target threshold.

[0127] In this embodiment, the output alarm information can be expressed in at least one of the following forms:

[0128] Firstly, text output

[0129] In this embodiment, alarm information can be output in text form.

[0130] Secondly, voice output

[0131] In this embodiment, alarm information can be output in the form of voice broadcast.

[0132] Third, signal light output

[0133] In this embodiment, alarm information can be output to alert the user, for example, by controlling the alarm indicator light to flash or by other means.

[0134] Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be manifested in other output forms, such as image output, etc., which are not limited here.

[0135] like Figure 10 As shown, in actual execution, the above steps can be performed by setting a parameter setting module, a spray density calculation module, and a display alarm module. The output of the parameter setting module is electrically connected to the input of the spray density calculation module, and the output of the spray density calculation module is electrically connected to the input of the display alarm module.

[0136] The parameter setting module is used to set monitoring blocks of the same size in the TD direction of the coated diaphragm and set the upper and lower limits (i.e. target thresholds) of the current production film spray density. As the film moves during production, the spray density calculation module can calculate the actual coating value corresponding to each monitoring block through automatic optical methods and image processing technology. Finally, the display alarm module displays the real-time actual coating value and outputs alarm information according to whether the target threshold is exceeded.

[0137] The battery separator surface coating quality inspection method of this application can be applied to offline slitting scenarios (such as slitting a 1000mm wide roll into 10 100mm small rolls). Production personnel can determine and remove defective small rolls based on the uniformity of the coating to avoid them flowing into the next process and causing greater economic losses.

[0138] In addition, process engineers can adjust and optimize processes based on the large amount of uniformity data recorded, thereby improving quality.

[0139] According to the battery separator surface coating quality detection method provided in the embodiments of this application, the uniformity of the coating in the MD and TD directions is judged by the actual coating values ​​in the MD and TD directions to output alarm information, which helps users to quickly adjust production process parameters or find equipment faults, thereby improving the yield rate.

[0140] The battery separator surface coating quality detection method provided in this application can be executed by a battery separator surface coating quality detection device. This application uses the battery separator surface coating quality detection device executing the battery separator surface coating quality detection method as an example to illustrate the battery separator surface coating quality detection device provided in this application.

[0141] This application also provides a device for detecting the quality of coatings on the surface of battery separators.

[0145] The third processing module 730 is used to determine the coating quality of the coated diaphragm under test based on the actual coating value and the target threshold.
