Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrode production technology, specifically relating to a method, device, system, and storage medium for adjusting a slitting and rolling equipment based on electrode thickness detection. Background Technology

[0002] In the lithium battery manufacturing process, inconsistent electrode thickness can increase the resistance at the interface between the electrode material and the electrolyte, thereby reducing the cell capacity and affecting battery performance. Electrode thickness also affects the setting of process parameters during winding, such as the diameter of the variable diameter winding needle, the pressure of the embossing roller, and the setting of laser die-cutting parameters. Therefore, the authenticity, accuracy, and real-time nature of electrode thickness data are particularly important, and the accuracy and real-time nature of data processing are key to ensuring high-quality cell manufacturing.

[0003] Currently, in the battery cell manufacturing process, on the one hand, there are no measures to monitor the electrode thickness data in real time during the battery cell manufacturing process. The electrode thickness is only measured in the rolling and slitting process before winding. However, the electrode thickness measured in the rolling and slitting process cannot reflect the true thickness of the electrode in real time during the battery cell production process due to factors such as the need for the electrode to stand still. On the other hand, the real-time measurement data of the electrode thickness has not been systematically processed, so it cannot directly play a guiding role in the battery cell manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method, device, system and storage medium for adjusting a slitting and rolling equipment based on electrode thickness detection. This ensures the accuracy and real-time nature of electrode thickness data during the cell manufacturing process, and enables the collection of electrode thickness data to guide cell manufacturing, thereby helping to improve the cell production qualification rate.

[0005] This invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] Firstly, a method for adjusting a slitting and rolling equipment based on electrode thickness detection is provided, applicable to the slitting and rolling equipment, including:

[0007] Obtain the pre-processed electrode thickness data at the unwinding point;

[0008] The preprocessed electrode thickness data is bound to the corresponding core, and the obtained electrode thickness data of the bound core is sent to the host computer device.

[0009] In response to the data on the misalignment of each layer of the core's tabs, calculated by the host computer based on the thickness data of the bound core's tabs, the parameters of the cutting and winding equipment are adjusted.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the parameters of the slitting and rolling equipment can be adjusted by collecting electrode thickness data, which can play a guiding role in cell manufacturing and help improve the cell production qualification rate.

[0011] Furthermore, the electrode thickness data is collected periodically by a data acquisition device after the unwinding of the slitting and rolling equipment.

[0012] In the above technical solution, collecting electrode thickness data after unwinding the coiling equipment can ensure the accuracy and real-time nature of electrode thickness data during the cell manufacturing process.

[0013] Furthermore, the preprocessing method for the electrode thickness data includes: the acquisition device fuses the electrode thickness data into a single output data at fixed intervals;

[0014] Wherein, the fixed distance D==L / (C*n), where L is the core length, C is the number of core layers, and n is the number of electrode thickness values ​​collected for each core layer;

[0015] The fusion method includes a method for removing outliers and taking an average.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the acquisition device can remove outliers in the electrode thickness data through preprocessing, which helps to improve the accuracy of subsequent calculations and facilitates the transmission of data to the slitting device.

[0017] Furthermore, the method for the host computer device to calculate the electrode misalignment data of each layer of the core includes: the host computer device uses a random forest model under a machine learning model to process the electrode thickness data of the bound core to obtain the electrode misalignment data of each layer of the core.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the random forest model under the machine learning model is used to calculate the misalignment data of each layer of the core, which has high accuracy, high calculation efficiency and is convenient and fast.

[0019] Furthermore, the parameters of the cutting and rolling equipment include the radius of the winding needle and the pressure value of the embossing roller;

[0020] The adjustment of the coiling needle radius is based on the following formula:

[0021] r = S / 100π;

[0022] In the formula, r is the radius of the coil needle, and S is the amount of electrode misalignment;

[0023] The pressure value of the embossing roller is adjusted according to the following formula:

[0024] F1 = F + (SK) * F;

[0025] In the formula, F1 is the current pressure value of the embossing roller, F is the pressure adjustment amount of the embossing roller, and K is the minimum threshold of the tab misalignment amount.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the winding equipment adjusts the winding needle radius and embossing roller pressure value according to the data on the misalignment of the tabs in each layer of the core, which helps to improve the pass rate of the battery cell production.

[0027] Furthermore, the data transmission between the acquisition device, the roll cutting device, and the host computer device is via CIP communication, and data interaction is performed through a custom array.

[0028] In the above technical solution, data writing and reading between the acquisition device and the cutting device, and between the cutting device and the host computer device, can be realized through CIP communication and custom array method.

[0029] Furthermore, the method also includes: when the number of abnormal data write and read operations exceeds a set value, controlling the alarm device to sound a buzzer alarm.

[0030] In the above technical solution, setting up alarm devices helps to promptly detect the number of abnormal data writes and reads within a specified time, and reminds production line personnel to handle the abnormalities.

[0031] Secondly, a slitting and rolling equipment adjustment device based on electrode thickness detection is provided, comprising:

[0032] The data acquisition module is used to acquire the pre-processed electrode thickness data at the unwinding point;

[0033] Data binding module; used to bind the preprocessed electrode thickness data with the corresponding core, and send the obtained electrode thickness data of the bound core to the host computer device;

[0034] The parameter adjustment module is used to adjust the parameters of the cutting and rolling equipment in response to the data on the misalignment of each layer of the core's tabs, calculated by the host computer based on the thickness data of the electrode sheets of the bound core.

[0035] In the above technical solution, the device and the method described in the first aspect are based on the same inventive concept. By collecting electrode thickness data, the parameters of the slitting and rolling equipment can be adjusted, which can play a guiding role in the manufacturing of battery cells and help improve the qualification rate of battery cell production.

[0036] Thirdly, a computer system is provided, comprising:

[0037] Memory, used to store computer programs;

[0038] A processor for executing the computer program to implement the steps of the method described in any of the first aspects.

[0039] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described in any one of the first aspects.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0041] (1) The present invention collects electrode thickness data at the unwinding point of the slitting and winding equipment, which can ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of electrode thickness data during the cell manufacturing process;

[0050] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The term "and / or" simply describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Additionally, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustment method for a slitting and rolling equipment based on electrode thickness detection, which is applied to the slitting and rolling equipment. The steps are as follows:

[0054] Step 1: Obtain the pre-processed electrode thickness data at the unwinding point.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, electrode sheet 101 is output from the unwinding device and conveyed by roller 103. The thickness data of the electrode sheet is collected frequently by laser displacement sensor 102 in the acquisition device after the unwinding of the cutting and winding device. The acquisition frequency can be set in the software interface, such as once every 0.3mm, 0.6mm or 0.9mm, but is not limited to these three frequencies.

[0056] The preprocessing method for electrode thickness data includes: the acquisition device fuses the electrode thickness data into a single output data at fixed intervals.

[0057] The fixed distance D is calculated based on the core length and the number of core layers, and the specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0058] D==L / (C*n;

[0059] In the formula, L is the core length, C is the number of core layers, and n is the number of electrode thickness values ​​collected for each core layer.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, when one electrode thickness value H1, H2, and H3 are collected at the front, middle, and rear of each core layer, n=3, then D==L / (C*3). The value of n is not limited to 3 and can be multiple, depending on the length of each electrode layer of the core.

[0061] The fusion method includes outlier removal and averaging. If the sampling frequency is once every 0.3 mm, then L / 0.3 data points need to be fused. The acquisition device sends the fused electrode thickness data to the slitting device.

[0062] Step 2: Bind the preprocessed electrode thickness data to the corresponding core, and send the obtained electrode thickness data of the bound core to the host computer.

[0063] Specifically, the cutting and rolling equipment splits the pre-processed electrode thickness data and binds it with the corresponding core, and then sends the electrode thickness data of the bound core to the host computer.

[0064] Step 3: In response to the data on the misalignment of each layer of the core's tabs, calculated by the host computer based on the thickness data of the bound core's electrode sheets, the parameters of the cutting and winding equipment are adjusted.

[0065] The host computer uses a machine learning model to process the electrode thickness data of the bound core, obtaining the electrode misalignment data for each layer of the core. This data is then sent to the slitting device, which adjusts relevant parameters based on this data. Specifically, the calculation of the electrode misalignment data for each layer of the core uses a random forest model within the machine learning framework, but it is not limited to this method.

[0066] The parameters of the cutting and rolling equipment include the radius of the winding needle and the pressure value of the embossing roller;

[0067] The adjustment of the coiling needle radius is based on the following formula:

[0068] r = S / 100π;

[0069] In the formula, r is the radius of the coil needle, and S is the amount of electrode misalignment;

[0070] The pressure value of the embossing roller is adjusted according to the following formula:

[0071] F1 = F + (SK) * F;

[0072] In the formula, F1 is the current pressure value of the embossing roller, F is the pressure adjustment amount of the embossing roller, and K is the minimum threshold of the tab misalignment amount.

[0073] In steps 1 to 3, the communication method for transmitting data between the acquisition device, the slicing device, and the host computer device is CIP communication, but it is not limited to this protocol. Data interaction is performed through a custom array, but data interaction is not limited to the array method. It can also be performed through internal registers, custom strings, or other forms.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] This embodiment uses the method described in Embodiment 1, and adjusts the slitting and rolling equipment based on electrode thickness detection. The specific steps are as follows:

[0076] The acquisition device collects electrode thickness data from the operating electrode at a frequency of once every 0.3 mm using a laser displacement sensor. The acquisition device then fuses the collected electrode thickness data by removing outliers and averaging the data from L / 0.3 electrode thickness data points.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, the acquisition device sends the fused data one by one to the array addresses A1{1,2} and A2{1,2} of the slitting device via CIP communication. The array is defined as follows: A1{1} and A2{1} are flag bits indicating that the acquisition device writes and the slitting device reads. That is, after the acquisition device writes the positive and negative electrode thickness data for the first time, it sets A1{1} and A2{1} to 1. When the slitting device reads the data, it sets A1{1} and A2{1} to 0. When the acquisition device detects that A1{1} and A2{1} are 0, it writes the next set of electrode thickness data, and so on. A1{2} and A2{2} are the electrode thickness data being transmitted.

[0078] The slitting and winding equipment binds the received electrode thickness data with the corresponding core and sends it to the host computer, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the array addresses B1{1...200} and B2{1...200} are sent to the host computer via CIP communication. The array definition rule is that B1{1} and B2{1} are flags indicating write operations by the slitting device and read operations by the host computer. Specifically, after the slitting device first writes the thickness data of the corresponding positive and negative electrode sheets of the roll core, it sets B1{1} and B2{1} to 1. When the host computer reads the data, B1{1} and B2{1} are set to 1. When 2{1} is set to 0, the subsequent winding equipment will write the thickness data of the positive and negative electrode sheets corresponding to the next set of cores when it detects that B1{1} and B2{1} are 0. This process will continue in a loop. B1{2} and B2{2} are the current core number, B1{3} and B2{3} are the current core production needle number, and B1{4...200} and B2{4...200} are the thickness data of the positive and negative electrode sheets corresponding to the current core. The amount of positive and negative electrode sheet data is defined according to the core length.

[0079] The host computer uses an algorithm to calculate the misalignment of the tabs in each layer of the roll core based on the corresponding thickness data and sends the calculation to the cutting equipment. Figure 6 As shown, data is sent to the positive and negative terminals C1{1...100} and C2{1...100} of the roll cutting device via CIP communication. The array is defined as follows: C1{1} and C2{1} are flags indicating write operations by the host computer and read operations by the roll cutting device. After the host computer writes data for the first time, it sets C1{1} and C2{1} to 1. When the roll cutting device reads the data, it sets C1{1} and C2{1} to 0. Subsequently, when the host computer detects that C1{1} and C2{1} are 0, it writes the tab misalignment amount for each layer of the roll core for the next set of cores. This process continues in a loop. C1{2...100} and B2{2...100} represent the tab misalignment amount data for each layer of the current roll core.

[0080] The cutting and rolling equipment is adjusted based on the data of the misalignment of the tabs in each layer of the core. The adjustment includes adjusting the radius of the winding needle and the pressure value of the embossing roller.

[0081] This embodiment includes an alarm function. The alarm count includes the number of abnormal data writes and reads within a specified time. When the number of abnormal data writes and reads exceeds a set value, the programmable controller outputs a signal to control the alarm light to sound, reminding production line personnel to handle the abnormality. After handling, the equipment personnel can click the alarm reset button to reset the alarm. The alarm can also be triggered by the alarm light flashing red, remaining constantly lit, or a combination of red light and buzzer.
