The present application can detect the size of the gap G value, and regulate the size of the pressure based on the gap G value, further reduce the gap G value, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the welding yield. In the welding stage, the distance from each cutting point q in the cutting point set Q to the fitting straight line L is calculated; the distances are sorted in order from "minimum" to "maximum"; the data of the maximum value and the minimum value n% are filtered out respectively, and the remaining 1-n% tangent data is output, which can make the theoretical welding trajectory continuously close to the circular arc cutting point position, thereby achieving the purpose of expanding the capacity of the battery cell. In the post-welding detection stage, in the calibrated coordinate system, the distance from all points on the inner edge S of the weld to the side wall C is calculated, and the average value of all distances is output as D. By judging the size of D, the qualified welding product can be detected. The 2D camera can also detect the size of the welding trajectory after welding and the width of the weld. In the case of fixed battery cell size and guaranteed welding quality, the battery cell capacity utilization rate can be maximized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0079] The specific scheme will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification:

[0080] Figure 2 The dotted part refers to the points scanned on the battery by the 3D camera, and the solid part outside the dotted line refers to the actual welding track. Figure 4 In the figure, the solid line S refers to the actual welding position, i.e., the inner edge of the weld, and the dotted line C refers to the points scanned on the battery by the 3D camera, i.e., the side wall of the battery; D refers to the distance between the inner edge of the weld and the side wall of the battery.
