[0043] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a battery manufacturing process management system and an operating method thereof will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Figure 1 The configuration of a battery manufacturing process management system according to an embodiment is shown.

[0045] refer to Figure 1According to the embodiment, the battery manufacturing process management system may include battery cell replicas 10, 11, 12, ... and a controller 20, wherein the battery cell replicas 10, 11, 12, ... are used to obtain data related to the battery manufacturing process, and the controller 20 is used to control at least one process variable related to the battery manufacturing process based on the data obtained using the battery cell replicas.

[0046] The battery cell replicas 10 , 11 , 12 . . . may be replicas manufactured with the same specifications (size, specifications, etc.) as actual battery cell products, and may be put into the battery cell manufacturing process 30 to obtain relevant data of the manufacturing process.

[0047] The battery cell mentioned here may be a basic unit that forms a battery pack or a battery module. Each battery cell is manufactured through an electrode assembly process, a degassing process, an activation process, a charge / discharge process, an aging process, etc., and the performance or finish level of the product may vary depending on process variables (e.g., the pressure applied to the battery cell, the temperature inside the chamber, the charge / discharge conditions, etc.). Traditionally, the setting of process variables is very dependent on the experience of technicians, so when replacing manufacturing equipment or changing equipment settings or conditions, it is difficult to know in advance the impact on the performance or finish level of the battery cell product.

[0048] The battery cell replicas 10, 11, 12... can be put into the battery cell manufacturing process 30, and while undergoing the same process as the actual battery cell, data related to the battery manufacturing process can be obtained, such as the pressure applied to the battery cell replica, the internal or external temperature of the battery cell replica, the internal gas volume of the battery cell replica, the deformation level of the battery cell replica, etc., and the obtained data can be transmitted to the controller 20.

[0049] According to the embodiment, each of the battery cell phantoms 10, 11, 12, ... may include at least one sensor for obtaining process-related data. For example, a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure applied to the battery cell phantom, a temperature sensor for sensing the internal or external temperature of the battery cell phantom, a gas volume sensor for measuring the gas volume inside the battery cell phantom, a strain gauge for sensing the deformation of the battery cell phantom, etc. may be included in the battery cell phantom, or a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure applied to the battery cell phantom, a temperature sensor for sensing the internal or external temperature of the battery cell phantom, a gas volume sensor for measuring the gas volume inside the battery cell phantom, a strain gauge for sensing the deformation of the battery cell phantom, etc. may be installed on the surface of the battery cell phantom. For example, the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor are pad-type sensors included in the battery cell phantom, and the strain gauge is a thin-film-type sensor attached to the surface of the battery cell phantom.

[0050] Figure 2a is a side view of a battery cell replica according to an embodiment.

[0051] As shown in the figure, the battery cell phantom 10 may include at least one pad-type sensor 110, 120, and 130. The sensors 110, 120, and 130 may respectively correspond to a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a gas amount sensor, etc. For example, the pressure sensor 110 may measure the pressure applied to the battery cell phantom 10 from an external device during the manufacturing process and the pressure applied from the inside due to the expansion or deformation of the battery cell phantom 10, the temperature sensor 120 may measure the internal temperature of the battery cell phantom 10 or the temperature of the external environment, and the gas amount sensor 130 may sense the amount of gas generated inside the battery cell phantom 10.

[0052] Figure 2b is a plan view of a battery cell replica according to an embodiment.

[0053] As shown, the battery cell phantom 10 may include at least one strain gauge 141 to 145 for sensing deformation of the battery cell phantom 10. According to an embodiment, the strain gauge may be a thin film type sensor attached to the upper surface of the battery cell phantom 10 and is a device configured to detect mechanical minute changes as electrical signals.

[0054] According to one embodiment, the sensors 110, 120, and 130 and the strain gauges 141 to 145 can transmit the measurement data to the controller 20 through a communication unit capable of wireless communication (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi optical communication, RF communication, etc.) with an external device. Alternatively, a storage device included in the battery cell replica 10 can collect the data obtained by the sensors and transmit the measurement data to the controller 20 through the communication unit. Alternatively, the sensors and strain gauges can transmit the obtained data to an external device (e.g., a cloud PC, etc.) instead of the controller 20, and the controller 20 can obtain the battery manufacturing process related data from the external device through separate communication.

[0055] Figure 2a and Figure 2b The configuration and positions of the battery cell replica 10 and the sensors included therein shown in FIG. 1 are merely examples, and various sensors (eg, image sensors, magnetic sensors, current sensors, etc.) not specifically mentioned herein may be used to obtain process-related data.

[0056] Return to reference Figure 1 The battery cell phantoms 10, 11, 12, ... can be sequentially put into the battery cell manufacturing process 30, and each battery cell phantom obtains the battery manufacturing process related data (pressure, temperature, gas volume, deformation level, etc.). The data obtained using multiple battery cell phantoms can be stored in the process database by marking, and can be used by the controller 20 to calculate the optimal value of the process variable and control the process variable.

[0057] The controller 20 may control at least one process variable based on the manufacturing process data of the battery obtained using the battery cell replicas 10 , 11 , 12 . . .

[0058] The process variables (or design variables) may be set by the manufacturer during the battery manufacturing process and may affect the performance, quality, etc. of the battery. For example, the process variables may include the setting of the pressurizing device, the temperature inside the chamber, the battery storage period / temperature, the battery charging / discharging conditions, etc. The process variables affect the state of the manufactured battery cells, and more specifically, the setting of the pressurizing device may affect the pressure applied to the battery cells, the internal temperature of the chamber or the battery storage temperature may affect the internal / external temperature of the battery, and the battery charging / discharging conditions (charging current / voltage, number of cycles, period, etc.) may affect the internal gas volume or temperature of the battery.

[0059] According to an embodiment, the controller 20 can optimize at least one process variable based on the data of the battery obtained using the battery cell replicas 10, 11, 12, ... For example, the environment (equipment settings, chamber temperature, charging / discharging conditions, etc.) of the manufacturing process of batteries with specific specifications can be optimized to manufacture batteries with desired performance and finish levels. Conventionally, in this state, for example, when the process environment changes due to the introduction of new equipment, the installation of additional lines, changes in external temperature / humidity, etc., although the same process variables can be applied according to the changes in the environment, or some adjustments can be made according to the experience of technicians, it is difficult to obtain the best results as before.

[0060] On the other hand, using a battery manufacturing process management system according to an embodiment, a battery cell replica can be put into the manufacturing process to obtain data after the process environment changes, and the optimal process variables (for example, settings for manufacturing the same product as before the environment changes) can be calculated and applied by comparing with the existing process data to obtain the same process results as before.

[0061] According to an embodiment, the controller 20 may transmit an alarm message to a user based on the difference between the data obtained using the battery cell phantom 10, 11, 12... and the previously stored reference data. For example, by referring to the set value of the pressurizing device, when the pressure value applied to the battery cell phantom exceeds the allowable pressure value, an alarm message ("exceeding the allowable pressure") may be output to the user, thereby preventing losses from occurring in the manufacture of actual battery cells. In another example, the internal gas volume or temperature and deformation level of the battery cell phantom may be compared with the allowable gas volume, temperature and deformation values, respectively, and when the internal gas volume or temperature and deformation level of the battery cell phantom exceeds the allowable value, an alarm message may be output to the user in advance, thereby preventing losses from occurring in the manufacture of actual battery cells. The alarm message may be output by a display device connected to the controller 20.

[0062] Figure 3 The flowchart of the battery manufacturing process management method according to the embodiment is shown.

[0063] refer to Figure 3 In operation S310, a battery cell phantom may be used to obtain data related to the battery manufacturing process. The battery cell phantom may be a replica manufactured with the same specifications (size, specifications, etc.) as an actual battery cell product, and may be put into the battery cell manufacturing process to obtain data related to the manufacturing process.

[0064] According to an embodiment, the battery manufacturing process related data may include at least one of a pressure applied to the battery cell phantom, an internal or external temperature of the battery cell phantom, an internal gas amount of the battery cell phantom, and a deformation level of the battery cell phantom.

[0065] Figure 4 The operation of obtaining data in the battery manufacturing process management method according to the embodiment is shown in detail.

[0066] refer to Figure 4 , the operation S310 of obtaining the data related to the battery manufacturing process may include: the operation S311 of measuring the pressure applied to the battery cell phantom, the operation S312 of sensing the internal or external temperature of the battery cell phantom, the operation S313 of measuring the internal gas volume of the battery cell phantom, and the operation S314 of sensing the deformation of the battery cell phantom. However, the operations S311 to S314 may not be performed simultaneously or sequentially, and some of the operations may be performed in a different order from the order shown.

[0067] According to an embodiment, at least one of the operations S311 to S313 may be performed by a pad-type sensor (eg, Figure 2a The pressure sensor 110, the temperature sensor 120, the gas amount sensor 130, etc.) of the battery cell phantom may be used to perform the operation S314, and the operation S314 may be performed by a thin-film type sensor (eg, Figure 2b The strain gauges 141 to 145 etc. are implemented.

[0068] Return to reference Figure 3 In the operation S320, at least one process variable related to the battery manufacturing process may be controlled based on the manufacturing process data obtained using the battery cell phantom. The process variable may be set by the manufacturer during the battery manufacturing process and may affect the performance, quality, etc. of the battery. For example, the process variable may include the setting of the pressurizing device, the temperature inside the chamber, the battery storage period / temperature, the battery charging / discharging conditions, etc., the process variables may affect the state of the manufactured battery cell, and more specifically, the setting of the pressurizing device may affect the pressure applied to the battery cell, the internal temperature of the chamber or the battery storage temperature may affect the internal / external temperature of the battery, and the battery charging / discharging conditions (charging current / voltage, number of cycles, period, etc.) may affect the internal gas volume or temperature of the battery.

[0069] According to an embodiment, the operation S320 of controlling at least one process variable may include optimizing the at least one process variable based on data obtained using the battery cell phantom. On the other hand, when the process environment changes due to the introduction of new equipment, the installation of additional lines, changes in external temperature / humidity, etc., the battery cell phantom may be put into the manufacturing process to obtain data, and the optimal process variables (e.g., settings for manufacturing the same product as before the environmental change) may be calculated and applied by comparison with the existing process data, thereby obtaining the same process results as before.

[0070] Figure 5 The flowchart of the battery manufacturing process management method according to the embodiment is shown.

[0071] refer to Figure 5 In operation S410, the battery cell phantom may be used to obtain data related to the battery manufacturing process. Figure 3 Operation S310 is therefore not described in detail.

[0072] In the operation S420, an alarm message may be transmitted to a user based on a difference between data obtained using the battery cell phantom and previously stored reference data. For example, by referring to the set value of the pressurizing device, when the pressure value applied to the battery cell phantom exceeds the allowable pressure value, an alarm message ("exceeding the allowable pressure") may be output to the user, thereby preventing losses from occurring in the manufacture of actual battery cells. In another example, the internal gas amount or temperature and deformation level of the battery cell phantom may be compared with the allowable gas amount, temperature and deformation values, respectively, and when the internal gas amount or temperature and deformation level of the battery cell phantom exceed the allowable values, an alarm message may be output to the user in advance, thereby preventing losses from occurring in the manufacture of actual battery cells.

[0073] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The described battery manufacturing process management method may be performed by the above-mentioned battery manufacturing process management system, but may also be performed by devices or systems having other configurations, without being limited thereto.

For example, a program for predicting the remaining life of a battery or learning an artificial neural network or various data may be transmitted to and received from a separately provided external server through the communication I / F 630.
