Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of battery processing, and in particular to a method for processing solid lead battery plates. Background Art

[0002] As an important type of battery, solid lead batteries are widely used in fields such as electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and backup power supplies. Among them, the plate composed of a grid and lead paste is one of the core components. The distribution density of the conductive phase (lead powder and hard carbon) in the lead paste directly affects the local resistivity of the solid lead battery, thereby affecting the efficiency and stability of the solid lead battery.

[0003] Traditional quality inspection methods usually rely on manual inspection or simple mechanical and mechanical tests. This method not only has low accuracy but also cannot monitor the quality of the plates in real time and comprehensively. Therefore, how to ensure the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste and the uniform distribution of the lead paste has become the key in the production process of solid lead battery plates. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method for processing solid lead battery plates to solve the above problems.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for processing solid lead battery plates, including grid preparation, lead paste preparation, plate forming, curing treatment, quality screening, drying, formation, and baking. The steps of the quality screening include:

[0006] Controlling the plate processing equipment to apply cyclic thermal loads to the cured plates and obtaining detection data in real time;

[0007] According to the detection data, determining the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste and the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid;

[0008] According to the bonding strength and the distribution uniformity, determining whether to perform baking;

[0009] The determination of the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid includes: determining the distribution uniformity of the lead paste according to the proportion of the resistance value mutation region in the surface resistance data;

[0010] The determination of the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste includes: determining the bonding strength according to the relative standard deviation of the contact resistance in the interface impedance data.

[0011] Through this solution, by applying cyclic thermal loads to the solidified electrode plates, the changes of the electrode plates during the cyclic thermal loads are determined, such as thermal expansion, shrinkage, cracks, etc., so as to evaluate the heat resistance and fatigue resistance of the electrode plates, which helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrode plates during actual use. Obtaining detection data such as surface resistance data and interface impedance data in real time helps to evaluate the distribution uniformity of the lead paste and the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste, so as to determine whether the quality of the electrode plates meets the requirements. By determining the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste and judging whether the bonding strength meets the preset quality standard, it is ensured that the electrode plates are not prone to falling off or separating during use, thereby improving the stability and service life of the solid-state lead battery. By determining the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid and judging whether the lead paste is evenly distributed on the grid, the consistency of the local resistivity of the solid-state lead battery is improved, and the performance of the solid-state lead battery is improved.

[0012] Optionally, determining the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste and the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid according to the detection data includes:

[0013] Analyze the detection data to determine the surface resistance data and the interface impedance data;

[0014] Determine the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid according to the surface resistance data;

[0015] Determine the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste according to the interface impedance data.

[0016] Through this solution, obtaining the surface resistance data helps to reflect the conductive performance of the lead paste on the grid. Obtaining the interface impedance data helps to reflect the electrical characteristics of the contact interface between the grid and the lead paste. Determining the distribution uniformity effectively improves the performance and service life of the solid-state lead battery. By establishing an equivalent circuit model, such as interface contact resistance, capacitance, etc., it helps to evaluate the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste. According to the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste, it is determined that relatively low interface contact impedance data usually indicates good bonding strength, and relatively high interface contact impedance data indicates poor bonding strength or defects.

[0017] Optionally, the real-time acquisition of the detection data includes:

[0018] Obtain the electrode plate fixing signal; analyze the electrode plate fixing signal to determine whether to start the measurement;

[0019] If it is determined to start the measurement, determine the boundary position of the grid through laser alignment marking;

[0020] Based on the boundary position, control the probe array to descend to a preset height and obtain the force feedback of the probe array at the preset height;

[0021] Analyze the force feedback to determine whether the contact forces between all the probes in the probe array and the plate surface are consistent;

[0022] If they are consistent, obtain the detection data in real time.

[0023] Through this solution, obtain the plate fixing signal indicating whether the plate is correctly fixed on the detection platform through a sensor, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the plate during the detection process. Analyze the plate fixing signal to ensure that the plate is firmly fixed without displacement or loosening. If the plate fixing signal shows that the plate is well fixed, start the measurement. The accuracy of the laser alignment marks helps in positioning the probe array. According to the grid boundary position of the grid marked by the laser, control the probe array to descend to a preset height to ensure that the probe array accurately aligns with the grid for measurement. When the probe array descends to the preset height, obtaining the force feedback between the probe and the plate surface helps to ensure that the contact between the probe and the plate surface is uniform and appropriate. If the contact forces of all the probes are within the preset acceptable threshold and there are no significant differences, it is considered that the contact between the probe and the plate surface is uniform and appropriate. Once it is confirmed that the contact forces are consistent, start obtaining the detection data in real time, which helps to evaluate the uniformity of the paste distribution and the bonding strength between the grid and the paste.

[0024] Optionally, the step of "if they are consistent, obtain the detection data in real time" includes:

[0025] Divide the plate into grid cells according to a preset grid spacing to obtain a number of plate cells;

[0026] Control the probe array to detect the resistance between any adjacent plate cells to determine the resistance value between any adjacent plate cells;

[0027] Determine the sheet resistance data based on the resistance value;

[0028] Obtain the grid structure information, analyze the grid structure information, and determine the grid nodes;

[0029] Using EIS measurement, control the probe array to detect each grid node, and determine the impedance slope according to the detection results;

[0030] Determine the impedance slope as the interfacial impedance data, and determine the sheet resistance data and the interfacial impedance data as the detection data.

[0031] With this solution, grid processing helps to perform multi-point and uniform resistance measurements on the electrode plates, ensuring that the resistance detection covers the surface of the electrode plates and improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection. By measuring the resistance values between adjacent units, the conductivity of the lead paste is evaluated to ensure its uniform distribution on the electrode plates. The surface resistance data reflects the conductivity of the lead paste on the grid, which helps to determine whether the preparation and coating processes of the lead paste are qualified. Obtaining the structural information of the grid helps with the interface impedance measurement, ensuring that the probe array accurately aligns with the grid nodes. The determination of the grid nodes ensures that the EIS measurement covers the grid, providing comprehensive interface impedance data. Through the EIS measurement, interface impedance data is obtained, providing the electrical characteristics of the contact interface between the grid and the lead paste and evaluating the bonding strength. The impedance slope reflects the electrical characteristics of the contact interface between the grid and the lead paste, providing quantitative data on the bonding strength and helping to determine whether the bonding between the grid and the lead paste is tight. Determining the detection data helps with the comprehensive evaluation of the quality of the electrode plates, providing data support for production adjustment and optimization.

[0032] Optionally, determining the uniformity of the distribution of the lead paste in the grid according to the surface resistance data includes:

[0035] Determining the uniformity of the distribution of the lead paste in the grid according to the resistance value and the proportion of the mutation region.

[0036] With this solution, the mutation region is determined, and corresponding measures are taken to optimize the manufacturing process of the electrode plates, improving the performance and service life of the solid-state lead battery. The area of the electrode plate helps to calculate the proportion of the mutation region, quantifying the degree of non-uniform distribution of the lead paste and providing data support for evaluating the quality and performance of the electrode plates. If the proportion of the mutation region is low and the change in the resistance value is small, it is considered that the distribution of the lead paste is relatively uniform; otherwise, it indicates that the distribution of the lead paste is non-uniform. If the bonding strength of the electrode plates or the uniformity of the distribution of the lead paste is unqualified, it will lead to accelerated shedding after use. Determining the uniformity of the distribution of the lead paste in the grid helps to ensure the quality and stability of the solid-state lead battery, providing a basis for optimizing the production process.

[0037] Optionally, determining the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste according to the interface impedance data includes:

[0038] Determining the interface contact resistance of each grid node according to the resistance value;

[0039] Calculating the relative standard deviation between the grid and the lead paste according to the impedance slope;

[0040] Based on the relative standard deviation, determine the bonding strength between the grid and the paste according to the interfacial contact resistance.

[0041] Through this solution, the interfacial contact resistance reflects the electrical characteristics between the grid and the paste. The impedance slope reflects the electrical characteristics of the contact interface between the grid and the paste, which helps to evaluate the bonding strength. Calculating the relative standard deviation helps to quantify the volatility of the interfacial contact resistance. A smaller relative standard deviation indicates a higher and more uniform bonding strength. Determining the bonding strength helps to improve the performance and service life of the solid-state lead battery, and at the same time helps to ensure the quality and stability of the solid-state lead battery.

[0042] Optionally, controlling the probe array to detect the resistance of any adjacent plate units and determine the resistance value between any adjacent plate units includes:

[0043] When controlling the probe array to detect the resistance of any adjacent plate units, determine the detection position of the probe array according to the preset grid spacing;

[0044] After controlling the probe array to detect the resistance of any adjacent plate units according to the detection position, obtain the resistance detection result;

[0045] According to the detection result, determine the outer probe position and the inner probe position;

[0046] Based on the outer probe position, analyze the detection result to determine the constant DC current;

[0047] Based on the inner probe position, analyze the detection result to determine the inner local voltage difference;

[0048] According to the constant DC current and the inner local voltage difference, determine the resistance value between any adjacent plate units.

[0049] Through this solution, determining the detection position helps to ensure that the probe array evenly covers the entire plate area, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of detection. The positioning of the probe array ensures that the probe array accurately aligns with each detection position, improving the measurement accuracy. Obtaining the resistance value between adjacent plate units helps to evaluate the conductivity of the paste. Obtaining the detection result helps to calculate the resistance value. Obtaining the resistance detection result helps to evaluate the uniformity of the paste distribution in the grid, and at the same time helps to improve the overall performance and service life of the solid-state lead battery. Determining the outer probe position and the inner probe position helps to evaluate the bonding strength between the grid and the paste. Determining the constant DC current helps to ensure the stability of the current and evaluate the conductivity of the paste. Determining the inner local voltage difference helps to obtain the resistance value of the paste. Calculating the resistance value provides a basis for optimizing the production process.

[0050] Optionally, applying a cyclic thermal load to the solidified electrode plate includes:

[0051] Obtaining the residual stress distribution after the electrode plate is solidified;

[0052] According to the residual stress distribution, dynamically adjust the temperature rise rate and the number of cycles of the thermal load for the cyclic thermal load.

[0053] Through this solution, obtaining the residual stress distribution after the electrode plate is solidified helps to identify the stress concentration areas and the overall stress distribution in the electrode plate, providing a basis for thermal load adjustment. Analyzing the detected residual stress distribution data to identify the impact of residual stress on the performance of the electrode plate provides data support for optimizing the thermal load. By adjusting the temperature rise rate and the number of cycles, the risk of residual stress concentration is reduced, and the mechanical stability and electrochemical performance of the electrode plate are improved. Through the cyclic thermal load, the mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of the electrode plate are further improved, and the residual stress is reduced.

[0054] Optionally, in the EIS measurement, controlling the probe array to detect each grid node, and determining the impedance slope according to the detection result includes:

[0055] Obtaining the content of the silane coupling agent in the lead paste composition;

[0056] Analyzing the deviation between the content of the silane coupling agent and the preset content range;

[0057] According to the deviation, adjust the AC signal frequency range of the EIS measurement.

[0058] Through this solution, determining the content of the silane coupling agent in the lead paste provides basic data for deviation value analysis and EIS measurement adjustment. According to the deviation value, evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the content of the silane coupling agent. By adjusting the EIS measurement, improve the accuracy and reliability of the EIS measurement, so as to more accurately evaluate the impact of the content of the silane coupling agent on the performance of the solid-state lead battery electrode plate.

[0059] Optionally, after determining whether to perform drying according to the bonding strength and the distribution uniformity, it further includes:

[0060] If the bonding strength or the distribution uniformity is unqualified, determine the defect type information according to the surface resistance data and the interface impedance data;

[0061] According to the defect type information, determine the electrode plate pressure parameter and / or the lead paste stirring parameter.

[0062] Through this solution, if the plate combination strength or the uniformity of the paste distribution is unqualified, it will lead to faster shedding after use. Determine the defect type information to provide a basis for adjusting the plate pressure parameters and the paste mixing parameters. Analyze the defect causes, identify the root causes leading to the defects, and provide guidance for adjusting the process parameters. By adjusting the plate pressure parameters, improve the combination strength between the grid and the paste and reduce the defects. By adjusting the paste mixing parameters, improve the uniformity of the paste and reduce the defects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0072] Specific implementation manners can refer to the following embodiments.

[0073] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for processing a solid-state lead battery plate provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, all steps of processing the solid-state lead battery plate include grid preparation, paste preparation, plate forming, curing treatment, quality screening, drying, forming, and drying. In this embodiment, the steps of quality screening are expanded, and it can be applied to the server in the above scenario. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes:

[0074] S201. Control the plate processing equipment to apply a cyclic thermal load to the cured plate and obtain detection data in real time;

[0075] Curing can be to evenly coat the prepared lead paste on the grid and perform heat treatment under certain temperature and pressure conditions, so that the lead paste tightly adheres to the grid, forming a plate electrode with a certain shape and strength.

[0076] Cyclic thermal loading can be to apply a series of thermal cycling treatments on the cured plate electrode to simulate the temperature changes under actual use conditions, so as to test the performance and stability of the plate electrode under thermal stress.

[0077] The detection data can be plate electrode data such as surface resistance data and interface impedance data obtained through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

[0078] Specifically, according to the characteristics of the plate electrode and the expected use environment, set the cyclic thermal loading parameters such as the number of cycles, temperature range, and temperature rise rate. Use the heat treatment equipment in the plate electrode processing equipment to heat the cured plate electrode to the set high temperature and then cool it to the low temperature, repeating the cyclic thermal loading. During the cyclic thermal loading process, obtain the detection data of the plate electrode in real time through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

[0080] The grid can be the part made of metal or alloy in the solid-state lead battery plate electrode that plays a supporting and conductive role.

[0081] The lead paste can be the component part in the solid-state lead battery plate electrode composed of lead powder, lead silicate, sodium silicate, hard carbon, silane coupling agent, glass fiber filaments, sulfuric acid, etc.

[0082] The bonding strength can be the adhesion strength between the grid and the lead paste.

[0083] The distribution uniformity can be the distribution situation of the lead paste on the grid.

[0084] Specifically, through the detection data, determine the surface resistance data and interface impedance data. By analyzing the surface resistance data, judge the distribution uniformity of the lead paste on the grid. By analyzing the interface impedance data, determine the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste.

[0085] S203. According to the bonding strength and distribution uniformity, determine whether to perform drying.

[0086] S204. Determine the distribution uniformity of the lead paste on the grid, including: determine the distribution uniformity of the lead paste according to the proportion of the resistance value mutation region in the surface resistance data;

[0087] S205. Determine the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste, including: determine the bonding strength according to the relative standard deviation of the contact resistance in the interface impedance data.

[0088] Specifically, based on the performance requirements, life expectancy of the solid-state lead battery, and empirical data during the production process, a quality standard is preset. The bonding strength and distribution uniformity are compared with the preset quality standard. According to the comparison results, it is determined whether to perform drying.

[0089] Through this solution, by applying cyclic thermal loads to the cured electrode plates, the changes in the electrode plates during the cyclic thermal load process, such as thermal expansion, contraction, cracks, etc., are determined, thereby evaluating the heat resistance and fatigue resistance of the electrode plates, which helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrode plates during actual use. Real-time acquisition of detection data such as surface resistance data and interfacial impedance data helps to evaluate the distribution uniformity of the lead paste and the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste, thereby determining whether the quality of the electrode plate meets the requirements. By determining the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste and judging whether the bonding strength meets the preset quality standard, it is ensured that the electrode plate is not prone to falling off or separating during use, improving the stability and life of the solid-state lead battery. By determining the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid and judging whether the lead paste is evenly distributed on the grid, the consistency of the local resistivity of the solid-state lead battery is improved, and the performance of the solid-state lead battery is improved.

[0090] In some embodiments, the detection data is analyzed to determine the surface resistance data and the interfacial impedance data; according to the surface resistance data, the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid is determined; according to the interfacial impedance data, the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste is determined.

[0091] The interfacial impedance data can be obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and reflects the electrical characteristics of the contact interface between the grid and the lead paste.

[0092] The surface resistance data can be obtained by a resistance measuring instrument and reflects the electrical conductivity of the lead paste on the grid.

[0093] Specifically, based on the detection data, the electrode plate is measured at multiple points by a resistance measuring instrument to obtain the surface resistance data. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is used to measure the impedance of the grid nodes to obtain the interfacial impedance data. According to the surface resistance data, the distribution uniformity of the lead paste in the grid is evaluated by statistical analysis methods. The interfacial impedance data is fitted through the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to establish an equivalent circuit model. The interfacial impedance data is input into the equivalent circuit model to determine the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste.

[0094] Through this solution, obtaining the sheet resistance data helps to reflect the conductivity of the paste on the grid. Obtaining the interface impedance data helps to reflect the electrical characteristics of the contact interface between the grid and the paste. Determining the uniformity of distribution can effectively improve the performance and service life of the solid-state lead battery. By establishing an equivalent circuit model, such as the interface contact resistance, capacitance, etc., it helps to evaluate the bonding strength between the grid and the paste. According to the bonding strength between the grid and the paste, it is determined that relatively low interface contact impedance data usually indicates good bonding strength, while relatively high interface contact impedance data indicates poor bonding strength or defects.

[0095] In some embodiments, a plate fixing signal is obtained; the plate fixing signal is analyzed to determine whether to start the measurement; if it is determined to start the measurement, the boundary position of the grid is determined by laser alignment marking; based on the boundary position, the probe array is controlled to descend to a preset height, and the force feedback of the probe array at the preset height is obtained; the force feedback is analyzed to determine whether the contact forces between all the probes in the probe array and the plate surface are consistent; if they are consistent, the detection data is obtained in real time.

[0096] The plate fixing signal can be a confirmation signal received after the plate is fixed to the detection platform, indicating that the plate has been correctly fixed and the detection process can start.

[0104] The plate surface can be the outer surface of the plate.

[0105] The contact force can be the interaction force between the probe and the plate surface.

[0106] Specifically, fix the electrode plate to the detection platform to obtain the electrode plate fixing signal. Analyze the electrode plate fixing signal to determine that the electrode plate is correctly fixed, so as to determine whether to start the measurement. If it is determined to start the measurement, use the laser alignment marking technology to accurately determine the boundary position of the grid. According to the boundary position, control the probe array to descend to a preset height at a preset path and a preset speed. When the probe array reaches the preset height, obtain the force feedback between the probe and the surface of the electrode plate through the sensor. Analyze the force feedback of all probes in the probe array, and compare the differences between the probes through statistical analysis methods. Set the acceptable threshold of the contact force according to the electrode plate material and detection requirements. Compare the force feedback with the preset acceptable threshold to determine whether the contact force between all probes in the probe array and the surface of the electrode plate is consistent. If the contact force of all probes is within the preset acceptable threshold and there is no significant difference, it is determined that the contact force between the probe and the surface of the electrode plate is consistent. Once the contact force consistency is determined, obtain the detection data in real time.

[0107] Through this solution, obtain the electrode plate fixing signal indicating whether the electrode plate is correctly fixed on the detection platform through the sensor, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the electrode plate during the detection process. Analyze the electrode plate fixing signal to ensure that the electrode plate is firmly fixed without displacement or loosening. If the electrode plate fixing signal shows that the electrode plate is well fixed, start the measurement. The accuracy of the laser alignment marking helps the probe array to be positioned. According to the grid boundary position marked by the laser, control the probe array to descend to the preset height to ensure that the probe array accurately aligns with the grid for measurement. When the probe array descends to the preset height, obtain the force feedback between the probe and the surface of the electrode plate, which helps to ensure that the contact between the probe and the surface of the electrode plate is uniform and appropriate. If the contact force of all probes is within the preset acceptable threshold and there is no significant difference, it is considered that the contact between the probe and the surface of the electrode plate is uniform and appropriate. Once the contact force consistency is confirmed, start to obtain the detection data in real time, which helps to evaluate the distribution uniformity of the lead paste and the bonding strength between the grid and the lead paste.
