On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the content disclosed in the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly connected by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this article includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0040] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] The specific implementation method of measuring the thickness of the battery cell according to the present invention is as follows. Please refer to the attached Figure 1-3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , including a driving platform 4, on which a sinking platform 410 and an intermediate rolling groove 403 are provided, wherein the intermediate rolling groove 403 is distributed on both sides of the sinking platform 410, a core control group 1 is provided on the intermediate rolling groove 403 on one side, and an inspection group 3 and a magnetic attraction comparison group 210 are provided on the intermediate rolling groove 403 on the other side, a core test group 2 is provided on the sinking platform 410, and a pressure sensor 401 is provided inside the sinking platform 410;

[0042] The core test group 2 includes a standard thickness measurement group 201 and a control thickness measurement group 202. The standard thickness measurement group 201 is arranged above the sinking platform 410, and the control thickness measurement group 202 is installed above the driving platform 4 on one side of the standard thickness measurement group 201.

[0043] A connecting plate 205 is provided between the standard thickness measurement group 201 and the reference thickness measurement group 202 for synchronous movement;

[0044] The magnetic comparison group 210 is provided with a second lateral comparison plate 215 on one side close to the comparison thickness measurement group 202 , the comparison thickness measurement group 202 is provided with a first lateral comparison plate 209 on one side, and the second lateral comparison plate 215 is provided with an infrared detection end 216 on one side.

[0045] When measuring the thickness of battery cells, the device uses the following steps to perform S1, random inspection of battery cells: the randomly inspected battery cells are placed in batches into the middle rolling groove 403 for chain conveying, and the battery cells are placed into the carrying tray 406. This process can be completed manually or filled by another conveyor-type device. The side drive motor 404 is a single equidistant conveyor, and the single drive gear drives the chain to rotate. The frequency can be controlled by the manual thickness measuring end. One control method is that after the standard thickness measuring group 201 tests a set of standard data downward, the comparison with the magnetic comparison group 210 is completed. After no alarm occurs or an alarm occurs, the motor rotates to drive the load-bearing chain 405 to rotate. The force-bearing end of the load-bearing chain 405 is dispersed through the side guide block 407 and the guide groove 413. The distance of a single movement is as follows: Figure 7 , the running distance from the receiving plate of the upper-level carrier tray 406 to the receiving plate of the lower-level carrier tray is a single moving distance, and the spacing between the two carrier trays 406 can be controlled by the positioning spacing of the blank imaging mechanism 104, the electromagnetic suction group 106, and the comparison imaging mechanism 105. Conversely, the identification spacing between the blank imaging mechanism 104, the electromagnetic suction group 106, and the comparison imaging mechanism 105 can also be changed according to the carrier tray 406. During the transportation process, the non-aligned part of the edge of the battery cell contacts and returns to its original position with the bias group 102. The wound battery cell that does not completely enter the range of the carrier tray 406 will have a contact force transmission due to the unidirectional rotation of the two sides of the bias group 102, so that the battery cell is aligned in the carrier tray 406, which is convenient for comparing and observing the numerical changes of the comparison scale 103;

[0046] S2, deformation verification: the blank imaging mechanism 104 takes an image of the battery cell passing below, and conveys it to the electromagnetic suction group 106 to press the battery cell, and then takes an image for the second time through the comparison imaging mechanism 105, and the comparison processor 107 compares the two images with respect to the scale difference on the comparison driving table 4, and sets the recognition gap of the blank imaging mechanism 104, the comparison imaging mechanism 105, and the electromagnetic suction group 106 to be the conveying distance of the side driving motor 404 rotating three times, and the size of the three conveying distances can be set according to the spacing of the carrying tray 406 and the rotation circle diameter of the side driving motor 404, and the conveying frequency is changed according to the thickness measurement evaluation rate of the standard thickness measurement group 201;

[0047] S3, power-on inspection of defective products: The cells with a large difference in the width of the two imaging sides are randomly inspected and placed in the test port 301 to detect whether they are damaged. The large difference in the width of the two pairs of sides proves that they have been over-extruded in the S2 process. They have multiple undesirable factors such as dense winding, large winding gap, and insufficient bending surface strength. They are powered on to test whether there are any undesirable conditions in the electrical properties. Qualified products that can be used can still be used for the next level of thickness measurement. Unqualified products indicate that their structural strength is not enough to meet the pressure resistance requirements of ordinary cells, and their electrical properties are not stable, so they cannot be loaded and packaged for use;

[0048] S4, core thickness comparison: manually measure the thickness of the battery cells with qualified comparison imaging spacing in step S2 when the pressure sensor 401 sets the qualified pressure, and then transfer them to the middle rolling groove 403 chain of the next level for transportation, and perform a calibration test on the new level of products to test their qualified thickness under the condition of close pressure. If they are within the qualified interval, they are good products. If they are not within the interval, they are unqualified products with stable structure and stable electrical properties, but insufficient winding tightness of winding turns and excessive extension of winding steel.

[0049] S5. Comparison of heat-resistant thickness: Use the constant temperature chamber 303 in the inspection group 3 to set an independent temperature zone, use the magnetic comparison group 210 to measure the thickness of the battery cell, and compare the thickness of the lateral comparison plate 1 209 with the lateral comparison plate 2 215 in step S4. If the two comparison thicknesses are different, it means that there are unreasonable coiling or overlapping windings and burrs and protrusions inside, which lead to uneven heat conduction of the wound battery cell and bulging. It is a defective product. Performing temperature testing on the battery cell with a high yield rate can rule out the problem of heat resistance and heat conduction caused by protrusions, burrs, faults, etc. between the internal winding layers. The phenomenon of uneven temperature and the consequence of this phenomenon that the ignition point of the battery cell becomes lower and the temperature resistance becomes worse. After the test in a reasonable temperature range, unqualified heat-resistant products with bulging, expansion, etc. can be detected in the third bonding height measurement and the height difference between the battery cell and the second test, and thus eliminated. Therefore, through three thickness measurements with different contact methods, the products with unqualified internal process, unqualified side process, unqualified conductive process, unqualified winding metal material, and unqualified heat and pressure resistance properties of the battery cell can be eliminated at one time, which can greatly improve the good product detection effect of the wound battery cell and has great progressive significance.
