[0041] Reference Figure 1 The simulation system 120 can provide simulation content to the operator 110. The simulation management server 130 can manage the content of the simulation system 120.

[0042] The simulation system 120 can provide operator 110 with simulation training on the cylindrical battery manufacturing process. According to one embodiment, the manufacturing process may include a cell packaging step. The cell packaging step may include sealing an assembly of electrodes and a separator wound into a cylindrical battery can. The simulation system 120 can provide operator 110 with a simulation of sealing the battery can containing the core and electrolyte with a battery cap to perform cell packaging. According to one embodiment, the simulation system 120 may use a digital twin-based virtual device to provide simulation content.

[0043] The simulation management server 130 can be configured to manage the training content provided by the simulation system 120.

Based on the statistical data, the simulation management server 130 can add or modify items in the training content and send the added or modified items to the simulation system 120. According to an embodiment, the simulation management server 130 can install content management software on the simulation system 120 and provide update information for the content management software.

[0044] Figure 2 The components constituting the simulation system according to some embodiments can be shown.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The simulation system 120 may include an interface panel 121, a main emulator 122, and a display 123. However, the simulation system 120 is not limited to this; some components may be omitted from the simulation system 120, or other general-purpose components may be further included in the simulation system 120.

[0046] According to the implementation, the interface panel 121, the main emulator 122, and the display 123 can be electrically connected to each other via device-to-device communication methods such as bus, general purpose input and output (GPIO), serial peripheral interface (SPI), mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), etc.

[0047] Interface panel 121 provides an interface between operator 110 and simulation system 120. For example, interface panel 121 can be configured as a human-machine interface (HMI) panel. Interface panel 121 can receive operation input from operator 110 for operating simulation system 120 via touch input, key input, mouse input, etc. Interface panel 121 can provide a graphical interface, such as a screen providing operation input selection options.

[0048] The main emulator 122 can be configured to perform simulations of the cell packaging process for cylindrical batteries. The main emulator 122 can interact with the operator 110 to perform the simulation. For example, the main emulator 122 can receive touch or drag input from the operator 110 and perform the process steps of the cylindrical battery accordingly, while displaying the results of each process step to the operator 110. The main emulator 122 may include a processor and memory for executing simulation software.

[0049] The processor of the main emulator 122 may have a structure for executing instructions to implement the emulation. The processor may be implemented as a plurality of logic gate arrays for handling various operations, or as a general-purpose microprocessor, and may consist of a single processor or multiple processors. For example, the processor may be implemented as at least one of a microprocessor, a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), and an application processor (AP).

[0050] The memory or storage device of the main emulator 122 can be configured to temporarily store data or instructions, and can be configured separately from or integrated with the processor. The processor can perform various operations by executing instructions stored in the memory and / or storage device. The memory and / or storage device can store various data, instructions, software, mobile applications, computer programs, etc. The memory and / or storage device can be implemented as a non-volatile device such as read-only memory (ROM), programmable ROM (PROM), erasable programmable ROM (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable PROM (EEPROM), flash memory, parallel random access memory (PRAM), magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM), resistive RAM (RRAM), ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), etc., or as a volatile device such as dynamic RAM (DRAM), static RAM (SRAM), synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM), parallel RAM (PRAM), etc., or as a hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), secure digital storage (SD), micro-SD, or a combination thereof.

[0051] Display 123 may include a display panel for providing various visual information to operator 110. Display 123 may display detailed images of the simulation being performed in main emulator 122. For example, when performing a cell packaging process for a cylindrical battery in main emulator 122, the main emulator 122 may display visually recognizable external images of each process, and the display 123 may display images of invisible areas that are not visible to the naked eye.

[0052] Interface panel 121 can be configured to receive process dimension values ​​from operator 110 for operating the virtual device to perform a cell packaging process, representing the simulation content. Operator 110 can set process dimension values ​​corresponding to the detailed processes of the cell packaging process. Process dimension values ​​can be process parameters used to determine the dimensions of cylindrical battery cells. For example, examples of process dimension values ​​can be found in the description below. Figures 4 to 6 .

[0053] The main emulator 122 can be configured to display the detailed operational process of the cell packaging process performed by a virtual device. For example, the process of assembling a battery cover onto a battery can containing a wound core and electrolyte, the process of sealing a cylindrical battery cell by applying pressure to the battery cover, and the process of adjusting the size of the cylindrical battery cell can be displayed by the main emulator 122. These operational processes can be performed by a virtual device within the simulation content. According to embodiments, at least some of the operational processes can be displayed on the display 123 instead of the main emulator 122, or displayed together with the main emulator 122 on the display 123.

[0054] The main simulator 122 can be configured as a simulation model based on the simulation content, generating detailed shapes of the process results formed by detailed processes according to process dimension values. When the operator 110 inputs process dimension values, the simulation model can generate detailed shapes of the process results corresponding to the corresponding values. For example, when the dimensions of a battery can or battery cap change for the same mold pressing, the shape of the result obtained as a pressing operation may change. This simulation model can be pre-built based on actual mold pressing results for various dimension values.

[0055] The main simulator 122 can be configured to display detailed shapes to the operator 110. The operator 110 can examine how the detailed shapes are formed based on the process dimension values ​​they input through the simulation content. According to one embodiment, the display 123 can perform three-dimensional modeling of the process result shapes inside the battery cell that are difficult to inspect with the naked eye in the detailed shapes and display them to the operator 110.

[0056] According to an embodiment, the cell packaging process may include a cylindrical battery cell packaging process, which can be configured to manufacture a cylindrical battery cell by injecting electrode components and electrolyte into a cylindrical container, attaching a cap assembly to the cylindrical container, and sealing the cylindrical container and cap assembly. Through the cylindrical battery cell packaging process, the electrode components and electrolyte can be sealed by the cylindrical container and cap assembly. This packaging process can be reproduced as a simulation, allowing the operator 110 to identify detailed shape changes and interference with the mold.

[0057] According to the implementation, the detailed processes may include a forging process, a flanging process, a first pressing process, a second pressing process, and a sizing process. The forging process may include a process of compressing the opening of a cylindrical can to reduce its outer diameter. The flanging process may include a process of forming a neck at the top of the cylindrical can to facilitate the connection of the cap assembly. The first and second pressing processes may include a process of applying pressure to the opening of the cylindrical can using a die or fixture to seal it. The sizing process may include a process of adjusting the overall height of the sealed cylindrical cell. These detailed processes can be reproduced as simulation content.

[0058] According to the implementation, the interface panel 121 can be configured to receive the process dimension adjustment value input by the operator 110, and the main simulator 122 can be configured to display the shape before and after the process dimension value is adjusted to the operator 110. The operator 110 can check the detailed shape corresponding to the current process dimension value through the simulation system 120 and can set the adjustment value of the process dimension value accordingly. For example, when a battery cell has scratches or dents due to its excessive size, the operator 110 can reduce the process dimension value. As the process dimension value is adjusted, the main simulator 122 can display the result of the adjustment. By displaying the shape before and after the adjustment together, the operator 110 can optimize the process dimension value to the most suitable value.

[0059] According to one embodiment, the main simulator 122 can be configured to display stress-related information, which is the stress occurring at the contact point between the mold structure and the detailed shape of the virtual device corresponding to the detailed process. Stress is generated at the contact point when the mold structure interferes with the detailed shape. The main simulator 122 can display the stress intensity corresponding to the interference through a simulation model. This simulation model can be configured to determine the interference intensity based on the dimensional differences between the mold structure and the detailed shape.

[0060] According to the implementation, the main simulator 122 can be configured to calculate the risk of appearance defects in the battery cell based on stress-related information and the current state of the process dimension values. Based on the stress-related information, the risk of scratches or dents appearing on the surface of the battery cell due to mold pressing pressure can be calculated. For example, the risk of appearance defects may include the probability of scratches or dents occurring, and / or the severity of scratches or dents. This risk of appearance defects can be calculated using a simulation model of the simulation content. The operator 110 can check the risk of appearance defects and adjust the process dimension values ​​in a direction that reduces the risk value.

[0061] Figure 3 The structure of a simulation system according to some implementations can be shown.

[0062] Reference Figure 3In the simulation system 120, the interface panel 121 can be located on the left side of the main simulator 122, and the display 123 can be located on the right side of the main simulator 122. However, the simulation system 120 is not limited to this, and different layout structures can be adopted according to the physical structure or movement line of the operator 110.

[0063] Operator 110 can generate operation inputs for operating the virtual device of the main simulator 122 in the interface panel 121 on the left, perform training using the simulation content by touching and dragging inputs on the central main simulator 122, and check detailed images of the battery manufacturing process through the display 123 on the right.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 A first cross-sectional view 400 can be shown to display the process dimension values ​​used to illustrate the simulation content. The first cross-sectional view 400 can represent the first process dimension value L1 to the sixth process dimension value L6. The first process dimension value L1 can represent the overall height of the battery cell, the second process dimension value L2 can represent the height of the main body, the third process dimension value L3 can represent the height of the head, the fourth process dimension value L4 can represent the inner diameter of the rolled edge portion, the fifth process dimension value L5 can represent the outer diameter of the head, and the sixth process dimension value L6 can represent the outer diameter of the shoulder.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 A second cross-sectional view 500 can be shown to illustrate the process dimension values ​​used to display the simulation content. The second cross-sectional view 500 can represent the seventh process dimension value L7. This seventh process dimension value L7 can represent the outer diameter at the opening of the cylindrical tank.

[0067] Reference Figure 6 A third cross-sectional view 600 can be shown to illustrate the process dimension values ​​used to display the simulation content. The third cross-sectional view 600 can represent the eighth process dimension value L8. This eighth process dimension value L8 can represent the overall dimensions of the cylindrical battery cell.

[0068] Figure 7 A method for performing the crimping process according to some embodiments can be shown.

[0069] Reference Figure 7 An example of performing the crimping process 700 can be given. The crimping process 700 can be configured to form a neck on the top of the cylindrical can to allow the lid assembly to be smoothly attached to the cylindrical can.

[0070] In the crimping process 700, the core injected into the cylindrical can is pressurized by a sleeve and a push rod, while a vertical pressure is applied to the upper part of the cylindrical can. This forms a neck portion that separates the portion containing the core from the portion of the cylindrical can that is connected to the lid assembly.

[0071] Figure 8 Methods for performing a first clamping step and a second clamping step according to some embodiments can be shown.

[0072] Reference Figure 8 Examples of methods for performing the first clamping step 810 and the second clamping step 820 can be provided.

[0073] The first clamping step 810 and the second clamping step 820 can be performed sequentially. The first clamping step 810 and the second clamping step 820 can apply pressure to the upper portion, which is positioned higher than the neck of the cylindrical can, and to the cover assembly housed within the upper portion, so as to deform the pressure-bearing portion. The deformed pressure-bearing portion can be wound into the center portion of the battery cell, thereby sealing the core and electrolyte inside the battery cell.

[0074] Figure 9 Information related to stress at the contact points between the mold structure and detailed shape of the virtual device, according to some embodiments, can be displayed.

[0075] Reference Figure 9 A first cross-sectional view 910 and a second cross-sectional view 920 can be shown to demonstrate information related to stress at the contact points between the mold structure and detailed shape of the virtual device.

[0076] The first cross-sectional view 910 shows the structure in which the cover assembly is housed in the upper portion of the neck after the neck has been formed by the crimping process. The second cross-sectional view 920 shows the state in which the first clamping process and / or the second clamping process are performed in the structure of the first cross-sectional view 910.

[0077] The second cross-sectional view 920 can show stress-related information formed in various parts of the cylindrical can and lid assembly. In some embodiments, the stress-related information can be visually represented by different colors, brightness, etc. The operator 110 can visually inspect the stress-related information and, based on the inspected information, adjust process dimension values ​​to alleviate areas with excessive stress.
