[0046] 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.

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.

[0048] The following is combined Figures 1-8 The calibration method, electrode defect detection system, calibration device, electronic device, and readable storage medium of the electrode defect detection system provided in this application are described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0049] The calibration method of the electrode defect detection system can be applied to the terminal, and can be executed by the hardware or software in the terminal.

[0050] 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).

[0051] 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.

[0052] The calibration method for the electrode defect detection system 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 calibration method for the electrode defect detection system. The electronic devices mentioned in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, computers, cameras and wearable devices. The calibration method for the electrode defect detection system provided in this application embodiment will be described below using an electronic device as the execution subject.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the electrode defect detection system includes a light source 220, an image acquisition device 230, and an electrode conveying mechanism. The electrode conveying mechanism is used to convey the electrode 210. The light source 220 is located on the first side of the electrode 210, and the image acquisition device 230 is located on the second side of the electrode 210.

[0054] The light source 220 can be of various types, such as LED lights, incandescent lamps, or fluorescent lamps.

[0055] The image acquisition device 230 can be different types of industrial cameras. For example, the image acquisition device 230 can be a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) industrial camera or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) industrial camera.

[0056] Compared to consumer cameras, industrial cameras offer higher image stability, higher transmission capabilities, and stronger anti-interference capabilities.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the light source 220 is located on the first surface of the electrode 210, and the image acquisition device 230 is located on the second surface of the electrode 210. The light source 220 and the image acquisition device 230 are located on opposite sides of the electrode 210. The electrode 210 is opaque, and the light-emitting surface of the light source 220 faces the image acquisition device 230. The image acquisition device 230 acquires an image of the electrode 210.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the calibration method of the electrode defect detection system includes steps 110 to 160.

[0059] Step 110: Obtain the feed angle of the electrode 210 conveyed by the electrode conveying mechanism.

[0060] The feeding angle of electrode 210 refers to the angle between the feeding plane of electrode 210 and the horizontal plane when electrode 210 moves along the electrode conveying mechanism.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electrode conveying mechanism may include a conveyor belt, on which the electrode 210 moves. The plane on which the conveyor belt is located is the feeding plane, and the angle between the conveyor belt and the horizontal plane is the feeding angle. The feeding angle of the electrode 210 can be determined according to the tilt angle of the conveyor belt.

[0062] In other embodiments, the electrode conveying mechanism may include a guide roller assembly comprising at least two guide rollers for winding the electrode 210.

[0063] For example, the guide roller assembly may include a first guide roller 241 and a second guide roller 242, and the electrode 210 may move around the guide roller assembly in different directions in at least one of the following ways.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, in the first feeding scenario, the electrode 210 is arranged at the same end of the two guide rollers of the guide roller assembly. For example, the electrode 210 is arranged at the upper end of the two guide rollers. In this embodiment, the plane connecting the upper ends of the first guide roller 241 and the second guide roller 242 is the feeding plane of the electrode 210. The angle between the feeding plane and the horizontal plane can be measured using measuring tools such as an angle ruler 320, which is the feeding angle. At this time, the measured angle is equal to the value of the feeding angle.

[0065] In actual operation, one of the guide rollers can be clamped with a vernier caliper 310, with the arm of the vernier caliper 310 serving as the feeding plane, which facilitates the measurement of the feeding angle of the electrode sheet 210.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, the vernier caliper 310 is clamped at the upper end of the first guide roller 241, and the arm of the vernier caliper 310 is close to the upper end of the second guide roller 242. An angle ruler 320 is placed on the arm of the vernier caliper 310 to measure the feed angle of the electrode 210.

[0067] It should be noted that the accuracy of the angle gauge 320 is 0.05°, and when measuring the material feeding angle, the accuracy of the material feeding angle can be 0.1°.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, in the second material feeding case, the electrode 210 is arranged at different ends of the two guide rollers of the guide roller assembly. For example, one end of the electrode 210 is arranged at the upper end of the first guide roller 241, and the other end of the electrode 210 is arranged at the lower end of the second guide roller 242.

[0069] In this embodiment, the plane connecting the upper end of the first guide roller 241 and the lower end of the second guide roller 242 is the feeding plane of the electrode sheet 210, and the angle between the feeding plane and the horizontal plane is the feeding angle.

[0070] In actual operation, one of the guide rollers can be clamped by a vernier caliper 310, with the arm of the vernier caliper 310 as the feeding plane. At this time, the angle between the plane where the vernier caliper 310 is located and the horizontal plane is the measurement angle, and the angle between the plane where the vernier caliper 310 is located and the feeding plane is the calculation angle.

[0071] The angle between the plane of the vernier caliper 310 and the horizontal plane can be obtained using measuring tools such as an angle ruler 320; this angle is the measurement angle.

[0072] The diameters of the first guide roller 241 and the second guide roller 242, as well as the maximum distance between the first guide roller 241 and the second guide roller 242, are obtained using vernier calipers 310. Based on the diameters of the first guide roller 241 and the second guide roller 242, and the maximum distance between the first guide roller 241 and the second guide roller 242, the angle between the plane where the vernier calipers 310 is located and the material feeding plane is obtained through graphic simulation technology, which is the calculated angle.

[0073] The feeding angle is numerically equal to the measured angle plus the calculated angle.

[0074] Step 120: Based on the feeding angle, adjust the mounting position of the light source 220 so that the light emitting surface of the light source 220 is perpendicular to the plane where the electrode 210 is located.

[0075] The mounting position of the light source 220 includes its mounting location and orientation, and the plane on which the electrode 210 is located is the feeding plane.

[0076] In this step, after the light source 220 is placed on the first surface of the electrode 210, the installation position of the light source 220 relative to the electrode 210 and the installation posture such as the pitch angle of the light source 220 are adjusted according to the feeding angle of the feeding plane and the horizontal plane of the electrode 210, so that the light emitting surface of the light source 220 is perpendicular to the plane where the electrode 210 is located, thus completing the adjustment of the light source 220 in the electrode defect detection system.

[0077] Step 130: Acquire the first target image of the light source 220 through the image acquisition device 230.

[0078] The light source 220 is provided with a first target point, which is a colored pixel point used to mark a certain position in the light source 220.

[0079] In actual execution, the first target point can be a black pixel with a size of less than 2mm*2mm.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first target point is set at a certain position of the light source 220, and the light source 220 is photographed by the image acquisition device 230 to obtain the first target image of the light source 220. The first target image includes the pixel information of the first target point.

[0081] Step 140: Adjust the mounting position of the image acquisition device 230 based on the pixel information of the first target point in the first target image.

[0082] The installation orientation of the image acquisition device 230 includes the installation position and orientation of the image acquisition device 230 relative to the light source 220.

[0083] In this step, the relative positional relationship between the image acquisition device 230 and the light source 220 is determined based on the pixel information of the first target point in the first target image, and then the installation position and installation posture of the image acquisition device 230 relative to the light source 220 are adjusted accordingly based on the preset positional relationship.

[0084] For example, based on the pixel information of the first target point in the first target image, it is determined that the image acquisition device 230 and the light source 220 are not aligned. By adjusting the installation position and posture of the image acquisition device 230, the image acquisition device 230 can be made to reach the preset aligned position.

[0085] Step 150: Acquire the second target image of the electrode 210 transmitted by the electrode transmission mechanism through the image acquisition device 230.

[0086] In this embodiment, the electrode 210 is placed on the electrode conveying mechanism, and the second target image of the electrode 210 is obtained by the image acquisition device 230 capturing the electrode 210 on the electrode conveying mechanism.

[0087] Step 160: Based on the second target image, adjust the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230.

[0088] The imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 include parameters such as field of view, resolution, depth of field, sensor size, and main magnification.

[0089] In this embodiment, based on the second target image of the electrode 210 acquired by the image acquisition device 230, it is determined whether the image acquisition device 230 can clearly capture the detailed information and size information on the electrode 210. The parameters such as the field of view, resolution, depth of field, sensor size and main magnification of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted so that the image of the electrode 210 acquired by the image acquisition device 230 can accurately reflect the defect information and size information on the electrode 210, thereby realizing the detection of electrode defects.

[0090] In related technologies, lithium battery materials are directly calibrated at the backlight station. The calibration fails after changing to other types of materials. Furthermore, if the same type of lithium battery is offset to the left or right during loading after the calibration is completed, the calibration also fails. This results in inaccurate measurement data of the lithium battery material dimensions. In addition, errors are prone to occur during the manual adjustment process, leading to a large range of measurement accuracy deviations in subsequent testing.

[0091] In this embodiment, the pose of the light source 220 is adjusted by the feeding angle of the electrode 210, and then the image of the light source 220 is captured by the image acquisition device 230. The relative pose between the light source 220 and the image acquisition device 230 is adjusted. Finally, the image of the electrode 210 is captured by the image acquisition device 230, and the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted. This standardizes the calibration process of the electrode defect detection system. After calibrating the poses of the light source 220 and the image acquisition device 230, the calibration will not fail when the electrode material is changed, and the detection accuracy of the electrode defect detection system is high.

[0092] According to the calibration method of the electrode defect detection system provided in the embodiments of this application, by adjusting the relative pose between the light source 220 and the image acquisition device 230, the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted, and the calibration process of the electrode defect detection system is standardized. The calibration will not fail when the electrode material is changed, and the detection accuracy of the electrode defect detection system is high.

[0093] In some embodiments, the electrode transfer mechanism further includes a smoothing component, which includes two clamping arms. The inner surface of the electrode 210 and one of the two clamping arms is on the same plane. A transparent substrate is clamped between the two clamping arms. The transparent substrate is located on the second side of the electrode 210. The transparent substrate is provided with a second target point. The second target image includes pixel information of the second target point.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, the smoothing assembly includes a first clamping arm 251 and a second clamping arm 252. The electrode 210 is in close contact with the inner surface of the first clamping arm 251, and the plane on which the electrode 210 is located is the same plane as the plane on which the inner surface of the first clamping arm 251 is located.

[0095] In this embodiment, the transparent substrate can be a transparent acrylic sheet, which is located on the second side of the electrode 210 and is in close contact with the electrode 210.

[0096] In actual execution, the second target image acquired by the image acquisition device 230 includes pixel information of the electrode and pixel information of the second target point on the transparent substrate.

[0097] It is understandable that since the electrode 210 is opaque, if the second target point is directly set on the electrode 210, the image acquisition device 230 cannot accurately obtain the pixel information of the second target point on the electrode 210.

[0098] In this embodiment, by setting a transparent substrate, the second target point is set on the transparent substrate, and the transparent substrate is closely attached to the electrode 210, thereby ensuring that the second target image has both pixel information for calibration and will not affect the electrode 210.

[0099] In this embodiment, after the electrode 210 is placed in the electrode conveying mechanism, the image acquisition device 230 captures the electrode 210 located in the electrode conveying mechanism to obtain a second target image of the electrode 210, the second target image including pixel information of the second target point.

[0100] It should be noted that the pixel information of the second target point may include information such as transition pixel information and electrode size accuracy information. Based on different pixel information, different imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 can be adjusted.

[0101] In some embodiments, step 160, adjusting the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 based on the second target image, may include:

[0102] If the transition pixel information in the second target image is determined to be greater than the pixel threshold, the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted.

[0103] Among them, the transition pixel information is the number of transition pixels near the second target point. Transition pixels refer to gray pixels whose pixel color is between white and black. The pixel threshold is a preset threshold that meets the requirements of sharpness detection.

[0104] For example, the pixel threshold can be set to 2. If the number of transition pixels near the second target point in the second target image is greater than 2, the image acquisition device 230's resolution-related imaging parameters should be adjusted. If the number of transition pixels near the second target point in the second target image is not greater than 2, there is no need to adjust the image acquisition device 230's resolution-related imaging parameters.

[0105] In this embodiment, based on the transition pixel information in the second target image, when the number of transition pixels in the second target image is greater than the pixel threshold, it indicates that the image clarity acquired by the image acquisition device 230 does not meet the requirements, and the image clarity-related imaging parameters in the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted.

[0106] When the transition pixel information in the second target image is less than or equal to the pixel threshold, it indicates that the image clarity acquired by the image acquisition device 230 meets the requirements, and there is no need to adjust the imaging parameters in the image acquisition device 230.

[0107] In this embodiment, the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 adjusted according to the transition pixel information can be resolution parameters.

[0108] After the image acquisition device 230 acquires the second target image, the fewer the number of transition pixels near the second target point in the second target image, the better the imaging clarity of the image acquisition device 230. When performing the inspection, it is easier to detect whether there are small defects such as pinholes in the electrode 210.

[0109] In some embodiments, step 160, adjusting the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 based on the second target image, may include:

[0110] If the polarimeter size accuracy information in the second target image is determined to be greater than the size accuracy threshold, the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted.

[0111] In this embodiment, the distance between two pixels in the second target image can be used to determine the spacing between the corresponding physical structures of the two pixels. Based on this spacing and the distance between the corresponding two points of the electrode 210, the imaging parameters related to the size accuracy of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted.

[0112] For example, the distance between two pixels in the second target image is the first distance, the spacing between corresponding physical structures is the first spacing, and the distance between the two points corresponding to these two pixels in the electrode 210 is the second spacing. The difference between the first spacing and the second spacing is calculated. When the difference is greater than the corresponding size accuracy threshold, the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted.

[0113] In this embodiment, the second target image includes a first line and a second line. The first line corresponds to the third line in the electrode 210, and the second line corresponds to the fourth line in the electrode 210. The first line and the second line are far apart, and the third line and the fourth line are far apart.

[0114] The distance between the first line and the second line is the image distance. The first spacing can be obtained by proportionally magnifying the image distance according to the main magnification of the image acquisition device 230.

[0115] The distance between the third and fourth lines is the second spacing, where the electrode size accuracy information is the difference between the first and second spacings.

[0116] In actual implementation, an algorithm can be designed based on the second target image to obtain multiple sets of first lines and second lines in the second target image, determine multiple first spacings and second spacings, determine multiple electrode size accuracy information based on multiple first spacings and one second spacing, and obtain the size relationship between multiple electrode size accuracy information and size accuracy threshold.

[0117] When the absolute value of the electrode size accuracy information is greater than the size accuracy threshold, the main magnification of the image acquisition device 230 is adjusted until the size accuracy information of multiple electrodes is less than or equal to the size accuracy threshold.

[0118] For example, the size accuracy threshold can be set to 0.1 mm. When it is determined that the absolute values ​​of the size accuracy information of multiple electrodes obtained by the algorithm are all less than or equal to the size accuracy threshold, the imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first target point includes a first target point and two second target points. The first target point is located at the center of the light source 220, and the two second target points are located on opposite sides of the light source 220. Adjusting the mounting pose of the image acquisition device 230 based on the pixel information of the first target point in the first target image includes:

[0120] Based on the pixel information of the first target point and two second target points in the first target image, the mounting position of the image acquisition device 230 is adjusted so that the pixel information of the first target point is located at the center of the first target image, and the pixel information of the two second target points is located at the opposite edge of the first target image.

[0121] In actual execution, both the first target point and the second target point can be black pixels with a size of less than 2mm*2mm.

[0122] In this embodiment, the first target point is located at the center of the light source 220, corresponding to the center position in the first target image, and the second target point is located on the two opposite sides of the light source 220, corresponding to the two opposite edge positions in the first target image.

[0123] By matching the actual positions of the first and second target points in the electrode 210 with the positions of the first and second target points in the first target image, the relative positions between the image acquisition device 230 and the light source 220 can be accurately determined.

[0124] The following is a specific embodiment used to describe the calibration method of the electrode defect detection system of this application.

[0125] like Figure 3 As shown, adjusting the attitude and position of the light source 220 includes: adjusting the pitch of the light source 220 so that the light-emitting surface of the light source 220 is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the electrode 210, and setting a first target point at the center of the light source 220, and setting a second target point on each of the two opposite sides of the light source 220.

[0126] Adjusting the attitude and imaging position of the image acquisition device 230 includes: adjusting the pitch of the image acquisition device 230 and the image acquisition device 230 itself, to determine that the first target point can be seen in the center of the first target image acquired by the image acquisition device 230, and the second target point can be seen on both sides of the first target image, so that the center line of the target surface of the image acquisition device 230 is collinear with the center line of the light-emitting surface of the light source 220, and determining the attitude of the image acquisition device 230.

[0127] Adjust the imaging clarity of the image acquisition device 230, unify the brightness range of the light source 220 and the exposure time range of the image acquisition device 230, use the image acquisition device 230 to perform white balance on the light source 220, and adjust the brightness of the light source 220 and the exposure time of the image acquisition device 230 so that the image acquisition device 230 meets the preset imaging clarity requirements.

[0128] To fine-tune the imaging clarity, firstly, based on the lateral resolution of the center of the field of view of the first target image in the image acquisition device 230, it is determined whether the distance between the electrode 210 in the electrode transfer mechanism and the image acquisition device 230 meets the preset imaging clarity requirements. If the preset imaging clarity requirements are not met, the working position of the image acquisition device 230 is adjusted so that the lateral resolution of the image in the image acquisition device 230 meets the preset imaging clarity requirements.

[0129] The electrode 210 is located between the two clamping arms of the smoothing mechanism. A transparent substrate is provided between the two clamping arms. The transparent substrate is in close contact with the electrode 210. The second target point is set on the transparent substrate. The electrode 210 in the electrode transfer mechanism is photographed by the image acquisition device 230 to obtain the second target image. The resolution-related imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230 are adjusted so that the number of transition pixels at the edge of the position corresponding to the second target point in the second target image is less than or equal to the pixel threshold.

[0130] If the number of transition pixels cannot be made less than or equal to the pixel threshold by adjusting the resolution-related imaging parameters of the image acquisition device 230, the image acquisition device 230 shall be returned for repair.

[0131] The accuracy of transverse and longitudinal dimension measurements is calibrated. The accuracy of longitudinal dimension measurements can be directly obtained from the calibration results of the roller surface station.

[0132] The calibration of the transverse dimension measurement accuracy first involves designing an algorithm calculation scheme to obtain the dimensional accuracy of multiple electrodes 2. When the electrode dimensional accuracy is greater than the dimensional accuracy threshold, the main magnification of the image acquisition device 230 is adjusted so that the electrode dimensional accuracy is less than or equal to the dimensional accuracy threshold.

[0133] The calibration method for the electrode defect detection system provided in this application can be executed by a calibration device for the electrode defect detection system.
