Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of online band thickness monitoring technology, and in particular to an online detection system and method for lithium band width and thickness. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion battery strip is a key material constituting the negative electrode of a lithium-ion primary battery, endowing this type of battery with the core characteristics of high voltage, high energy density, and long lifespan. It plays a crucial role in energy storage and release within the battery, making it an indispensable "main material" in the entire battery system. The width and thickness of the lithium-ion battery strip are critical parameters affecting battery characteristics. The forming process of the lithium-ion battery strip involves extrusion, rolling / pressing, and winding. Continuous online monitoring of the width and thickness of the lithium-ion battery strip after rolling / pressing and before winding is of great significance. In particular, the thickness of the lithium-ion battery strip is a key parameter affecting battery capacity, internal resistance, and voltage performance, directly determining the battery's "electrochemical performance" and "safety."

[0003] Generally, the thickness of the lithium strip is monitored online during the winding process. Currently, there are three main methods for online thickness monitoring: The first method uses collimated laser rangefinders to measure the distances from the upper and lower surfaces of the lithium strip, and then subtracts the measured distances from the distance between the two sensors to calculate the thickness of the lithium strip. The second method is an improvement on the first, also using a through-beam laser thickness measurement method. It measures the thickness of curved surfaces by moving the sensor to scan and calculate the tilt angle. However, this method relies on the sensor's position at different times to calculate the tilt angle and is suitable for measuring 'curved surfaces' with slow shape changes. The third method involves mounting an industrial camera on the side of the lithium strip to acquire images of the side in real time, processing the images, and calculating the thickness of the lithium strip.

[0004] Because lithium strips are both soft and thin, high-frequency, small-amplitude jitter is inevitable during the winding process. All three methods mentioned above have problems. Method one has the problem that the detection point is highly likely to tilt during winding, becoming non-horizontal, and the distance between the two detection points is greater than the actual strip thickness. If the difference exceeds the set allowable threshold, it will trigger an alarm, resulting in low detection accuracy. Method two has the following problems with the high-frequency, irregular random jitter generated during winding: 1) Time lag: The tilt angle calculated based on previous and subsequent moments cannot accurately reflect the instantaneous tilt caused by jitter at the current moment, resulting in limited correction; 2) Complex structure: It requires a precise XY movement platform, which is costly, slow to respond, and cannot meet the real-time requirements of high-speed winding. Method three has the problem that industrial camera lenses have a certain depth of field range, and only objects within this range can be clearly imaged. Lithium strips are very thin (usually around 2mm), and once jitter occurs, it can easily lead to image blurring, inability to extract edges, or even complete displacement outside the depth of field, making it impossible to acquire an image of the lithium strip. Therefore, it is essential to develop an online monitoring system that can accurately detect the thickness of the lithium strip even when it tilts or vibrates. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an online detection system and method for lithium strip bandwidth and thickness, which has high detection accuracy, is not sensitive to vibration, has fast detection speed, and is more adaptable to the environment.

L2 is the distance between the second laser ranging sensor and monitoring point B on the lower surface of the lithium strip.

[0008] Furthermore, the method for calculating the thickness of the band, after step S2, also includes the following steps: S3.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an image processing module and a first image acquisition module electrically connected to it and mounted above the lithium strip; a fifth laser sensor is also disposed above the lithium strip; the first image acquisition module is used to acquire images of the upper surface of the lithium strip in real time; the image processing module is used to perform image processing on the received images of the upper surface of the lithium strip; the PLC controller is also used to identify the edge contour of the upper surface image, then calculate the bandwidth w based on the edge contour, calculate the tilt angle of the lithium strip in the width direction, and correct the bandwidth w to obtain wo. real When w real In the preset [w min ,w max Within the specified range, the bandwidth is determined to meet the requirements; if it exceeds the range, the bandwidth is determined to not meet the requirements. The coordinates of the installation position of the fifth laser sensor are (x5, y5, z5); the coordinates of the monitoring point E on the upper surface of the lithium strip by the fifth laser sensor are (x5, y5, z5). EThe x-coordinate x5 of the fifth laser sensor is the same as the x-coordinate x1 of the first laser ranging sensor, and its y-coordinate y5 is different from the y-coordinate y1 of the first laser ranging sensor, i.e., x1 = x5. y 1≠y 5; ; Where L5 is the distance between the fifth laser sensor and the monitoring point E as measured by the fifth laser sensor; The bandwidth w is corrected to obtain the corrected bandwidth w. real The method is as follows: ; Where Ψ is the tilt angle of the lithium strip in the width direction; .

[0013] Furthermore, the specific calculation method for the instantaneous jitter amplitude A is as follows: S1.1 The PLC controller first calculates the z-coordinate of the center point M of points A and C based on the z-coordinates of points A and C at the same time. M =(Z A +Z C ) / 2; S1.2 Record Z within a time window Δt (e.g., containing 10-20 sampling periods).

[0014] Furthermore, the method for dynamically adjusting the trigger acquisition time is as follows: S4.1, Phase Detection: For Z M [n] is smoothed to obtain Z M-smooth [n]; Then, based on the peak detection algorithm, the positions of the peaks and troughs are found; S4.2 Inflection Point Detection and Recording: Based on Z M-smooth [n] Detect inflection points and record the Z-coordinate and inflection point type for each inflection point; S4.3 Real-time jitter period calculation: The time interval between two consecutive peaks or two consecutive troughs is the real-time jitter period T. jitter ; S4.4 Phase Judgment and Next Inflection Point Prediction: Suppose that a phase is detected in the past time period t current The adjacent inflection point is t. last , If t current ≠t last , then t next_exterme =t last +T jitter / 2; If t current =t last , then t next_exterme =t currentt +T jitter / 2; Where: t next_exterme This represents the time when the next inflection point will arrive. t curren Represents the current time; T jitter Represents the real-time jitter period; S4.5 The PLC controller sends a command with a preset delay to the first image acquisition module to ensure that the first image acquisition module acquires the image at the exact moment the next inflection point arrives.

[0015] Furthermore, the smoothing methods include exponentially weighted moving average, moving average, and median filtering.

Through preliminary experimental calibration, the jitter energy of the lithium strip during normal winding is mainly concentrated in the 5~20Hz frequency band. To ensure that the true jitter signal is preserved while effectively suppressing high-frequency noise, the cutoff frequency fc = 25Hz is set.

K is a pre-calibrated constant that needs to be determined through calibration. The unit is mm·ms or mm·s to ensure dimensional consistency. e To prevent small positive numbers with a denominator of zero, and to prevent the denominator from being zero when the speed is zero, we can take 0.001; V(t i The instantaneous vertical velocity is (mm / s or mm / ms), and must be a positive number; I will (t i ) represents the rate of change of the angle θ between the upper edge contour line AC and the horizontal plane at the current moment, which can be obtained by the difference of θ over time; i (t i )and i (t i-1 ) are the angles between the upper edge contour line AC calculated at the current time and the previous time and the horizontal plane, respectively, and Δt is the sampling period, Δt=1 / fs; α , β The conversion factor is determined experimentally.

[0025] Beneficial effects of this invention: This application utilizes two sets of fixed-position through-beam laser sensors to simultaneously sample different spatial positions of the lithium strip. This allows for precise capture of the instantaneous complex posture of the lithium strip caused by high-frequency jitter and accurate calculation of its true thickness at that instant. Compared to traditional methods that rely on historical data to calculate the tilt angle, this instantaneous spatial sampling method offers a fundamental advantage in compensating for high-frequency jitter.

[0026] This invention enables online monitoring of lithium strip thickness and bandwidth during the winding process, which is of great significance for lithium strip production. Compared with vision-based detection methods, it has the following significant advantages: High detection accuracy: Laser sensors use a direct measurement method, achieving micron-level accuracy; while visual measurement is an indirect measurement, and its accuracy is affected by calibration, lens distortion, and algorithm stability. This invention uses four fixedly installed laser sensors, eliminating the need for moving parts and ensuring long-term stability of measurement accuracy from a hardware perspective.

[0027] Insensitive to jitter: The instantaneous spatial sampling method of this invention acquires the coordinates of different positions of the lithium strip at the same time, directly calculating the true thickness under the current posture, without relying on historical data to calculate the tilt angle. Therefore, even if the lithium strip experiences high-frequency random jitter, as long as it does not move out of the sensor's range, accurate measurement is possible. In contrast, traditional vision solutions are extremely sensitive to jitter and are prone to measurement failure due to defocusing or blurring.

[0028] High detection speed: The response time of the laser sensor is in the microsecond range, and with the synchronous triggering of the PLC, high-frequency detection in the kHz range can be achieved. In contrast, traditional vision measurement is limited by the speed of image acquisition, transmission and processing, and the detection frequency is usually low, making it difficult to meet the real-time requirements of high-speed winding.

[0029] Greater environmental adaptability: Laser sensors, based on the principle of active ranging, are unaffected by changes in ambient light and are insensitive to the reflective properties of lithium strip surfaces, making them suitable for complex industrial environments. In contrast, traditional vision solutions have stringent requirements for lighting systems, and changes in lighting or surface reflections can easily lead to measurement failures.

[0035] Furthermore, the method for calculating the thickness of the band, after step S2, also includes the following steps: S3. Calculate the angle Φ between the upper edge contour line BD and the horizontal plane based on the coordinates of the two detection points B and D; the coordinates of point B are (x2, y2, z2).

[0036] In another embodiment, the PLC controller is further configured to: Calculate the deviation Δh between h2 and h4. ; Based on the deviation Δh and the preset deviation threshold Δh th The comparison results, and h2 and h4 with the preset band thickness range [h min ,h max The system status is determined by comprehensively considering the relationship between the following conditions: normal status, product out-of-tolerance status, sensor abnormal status, and lithium strip abnormal status. when And both h2 and h4 are in [h min ,h max When the system is within the specified range, it is determined that the system is in a normal state. when And at least one of h2 and h4 is not in [h min ,h max If the thickness is within the specified range, the product is deemed to be out of tolerance. when And both h2 and h4 are in [h min ,h max When the range is within ], it is determined that there is local abnormal deformation in the lithium strip; when And at least one of h2 and h4 is not in [h min ,h max If the laser rangefinder is within the specified range, it is determined that the laser rangefinder is malfunctioning.

[0037] Preset deviation threshold Δhth The accuracy can be determined based on the nominal accuracy of the laser rangefinder sensor and the allowable thickness fluctuation in the manufacturing process. For example, if the accuracy of the laser rangefinder sensor is ±0.01mm and the allowable thickness fluctuation in the manufacturing process is ±0.02mm, then Δh can be set. th =0.03mm, ensuring that Δh will not exceed this threshold under normal operating conditions.

[0038] In another embodiment, the system further includes an image processing module and a first image acquisition module electrically connected thereto and mounted above the lithium strip; a fifth laser sensor is also disposed above the lithium strip; the first image acquisition module is used to acquire images of the upper surface of the lithium strip in real time; the image processing module is used to perform image processing on the received images of the upper surface of the lithium strip; the PLC controller is also used to identify the edge contour of the upper surface image, then calculate the bandwidth w based on the edge contour, calculate the tilt angle of the lithium strip in the width direction, and correct the bandwidth w to obtain wo. real When w real In the preset [w min ,w max Within the specified range, the bandwidth is determined to meet the requirements; if it exceeds the range, the bandwidth is determined to not meet the requirements. The coordinates of the installation position of the fifth laser sensor are (x5, y5, z5); the coordinates of the monitoring point E on the upper surface of the lithium strip by the fifth laser sensor are (x5, y5, z5). E )(like Figure 5 As shown); the x-coordinate x5 of the fifth laser sensor is the same as the x-coordinate x1 of the first laser ranging sensor 1, and its y-coordinate y5 is different from the y-coordinate y1 of the first laser ranging sensor 1, that is, x1=x5, and y 1≠y 5; ; Where L5 is the distance between the fifth laser sensor and the monitoring point E as measured by the fifth laser sensor; The bandwidth w is corrected to obtain the corrected bandwidth w. real The method is as follows: ; Where Ψ is the tilt angle of the lithium strip in the width direction; .

[0039] The contour data measured by the laser sensor is not only used for its own thickness calculation, but also the tilt angle of the calculated bandwidth direction is used to correct the visual bandwidth measurement value. This allows the bandwidth measurement to maintain extremely high accuracy even when the lithium strip undergoes complex spatial twisting, achieving laser-vision data fusion, an effect that cannot be achieved by solutions that rely solely on vision or solely on laser.

[0040] In another embodiment, the PLC controller is further configured to determine the instantaneous jitter amplitude A and instantaneous jitter frequency f of the lithium strip based on the data of the contour line within the sampling time window Δt. peak ; and based on A and the preset threshold [A min A max Based on the comparison results, the control mode is dynamically selected: When A≦A min At that time, the first image acquisition module uses a fixed exposure time and a fixed acquisition time; When A min A A max At the same time, the exposure time and trigger acquisition time of the first image acquisition module are dynamically adjusted; When A>A max If this occurs, the measurement will be paused and an alarm will be issued.

[0041] Specifically, the calculation method for the instantaneous jitter amplitude A is as follows: S1.1 The PLC controller first calculates the z-coordinate of the center point M of points A and C based on the z-coordinates of points A and C at the same time. M =(Z A +Z C ) / 2; S1.2 Record Z within a time window Δt (e.g., containing 10-20 sampling periods). M The difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​ΔZ M The instantaneous jitter amplitude A within the current time window Δt is: A1=ΔZ M / 2; Specifically, the instantaneous jitter frequency fpeak is calculated by performing spectral analysis on the time series data of the Z-axis coordinate of point M: S3.1 Constructing the time series: The PLC controller uses a fixed sampling frequency f S (e.g., 100Hz) Receive data from the contour generation module; for each sampling time t i Record the Z coordinate of the corresponding center point M. M (t i This forms a discrete-time signal Z. M [n]; S3.2, Spectrum Analysis: The PLC controller analyzes the Z-axis at N consecutive time points. M[n] Perform a Discrete Fourier Transform (where the value of N is determined by the desired frequency resolution Δf, Δf = fs / N, usually N is an integer power of 2, for example N=1024); obtain the spectrum Z of the Z coordinate signal of the lithium strip center M. M (f); S3.3 Calculate the amplitude of each frequency component |Z M (f)∣ reflects the vibration intensity of each frequency component; S3.4 Extracting the dominant frequency: Search for the maximum value in the amplitude spectrum; the corresponding frequency is the instantaneous jitter frequency f of the lithium band within the current time window. peak .

[0042] Specifically, the method for dynamically adjusting the trigger acquisition time is as follows: S4.1, Phase Detection: For Z M [n] is smoothed to obtain Z M-smooth [n]; Then, based on the peak detection algorithm, the positions of the peaks and troughs are found; the peaks and troughs correspond to the moments when the lithium strip speed is the lowest and the direction of motion is about to change; S4.2 Inflection Point Detection and Recording: Based on Z M-smooth [n] Detect inflection points and record the Z-coordinate and inflection point type for each inflection point; S4.3 Real-time jitter period calculation: The time interval between two consecutive peaks or two consecutive troughs is the real-time jitter period T. jitter ; S4.4 Phase Judgment and Next Inflection Point Prediction: Suppose that a phase is detected in the past time period t current The adjacent inflection point is t. last , If t current ≠t last , then t next_exterme =t last +T jitter / 2; If t current =t last , then t next_exterme =t currentt +T jitter / 2; Where: t next_exterme This represents the time when the next inflection point will arrive. t curren Represents the current time; T jitter Represents the real-time jitter period; S4.5 The PLC controller sends a command with a preset delay to the first image acquisition module to ensure that the first image acquisition module acquires the image at the exact moment the next inflection point arrives.

[0043] By employing the two dynamic adjustment strategies of trigger acquisition time and exposure time, the success rate of image acquisition by industrial cameras under high-speed shaking conditions of lithium strips can be significantly improved. An intelligent collaborative system guided by a laser sensor and optimized for the working state of the vision sensor has been established, overcoming the inherent problem of traditional vision solutions being "sensitive to shaking".

[0044] Specifically, the smoothing methods include exponentially weighted moving average, moving average, median filtering, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, an exponentially weighted moving average method is used for smoothing. The specific method is as follows: ; ; Among them: Z M-smooth [n] represents the current smoothed output value; Z M [n] represents the current original measurement value; η is the smoothing factor; fc is the cutoff frequency of the smoothing filter; fc can be set to fc = λ * fpeak, where λ is a constant greater than 1, such as λ = 1.3; or it can be set manually. Through preliminary experimental calibration, the jitter energy of the lithium strip during normal winding is mainly concentrated in the 5~20Hz frequency band. To ensure that the true jitter signal is preserved while effectively suppressing high-frequency noise, the cutoff frequency fc = 25Hz is set.

[0046] The above-mentioned smoothing method links the smoothing factor η with the physical parameters fc and fs, giving the parameters physical meaning. This ensures that the smoothing process can effectively filter out measurement noise while truly preserving the jitter characteristics of the lithium strip, providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent instantaneous velocity calculation and inflection point prediction.

K is a pre-calibrated constant that needs to be determined through calibration. The unit is mm·ms or mm·s to ensure dimensional consistency. e To prevent small positive numbers with a denominator of zero, and to prevent the denominator from being zero when the speed is zero, we can take 0.001; V(t i The instantaneous vertical velocity is (mm / s or mm / ms), and must be a positive number; I will (t i ) represents the rate of change of the angle θ between the upper edge contour line AC and the horizontal plane at the current moment, which can be obtained by the difference of θ over time; I will (t i )=( i (t i )- i (t i-1 )) / Δt; i (t i )and i (t i-1 ) are the angles between the upper edge contour line AC calculated at the current time and the previous time and the horizontal plane, respectively, and Δt is the sampling period, Δt=1 / fs; α , β The conversion factor is determined experimentally (e.g.: α =1, β =0.2, to make the dimensions of the two consistent).
