[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a grooving device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a block diagram of a grooving apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 This is an illustrative diagram showing the process of removing weld residue generated during the grooving process.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the grooving device 100 may include a supply section 10 and a recovery section 20 for the electrode film 30.
[0033] The supply unit 10 can be a structure that supplies the wound electrode film 30, and the recycling unit 20 can be a structure that the grooved electrode film 30 supplied from the supply unit 10 is transferred and wound.
[0034] In other words, the grooving device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a supply unit 10 for supplying electrode film 30; and a recycling unit 20 for recycling the electrode film 30 partially cut by the first laser generator 110.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 Although the electrode film 30 is shown as being transferred in a roll-to-roll manner, it is not limited to this and can also be applied to cases where the electrode film 30 is transferred in a roll-to-sheet manner.
[0036] The supply section 10 and the recycling section 20 are non-essential structures of the present invention, and detailed descriptions can be omitted.
[0037] A grooving apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a first laser generator 110 for cutting an electrode film 30; a sensor unit 300 for sensing whether welding residue is generated on the electrode film 30; a second laser generator 120 for removing welding residue; and a control unit 400 for controlling the second laser generator 120 based on the sensing result of the sensor unit 300.
[0038] Here, the first laser generator 110 can be positioned closer to the supply unit 10 than the second laser generator 120, and the sensor unit 300 can be positioned between the first laser generator 110 and the second laser generator 120.
[0039] The first laser generator 110 can cut the electrode film 30 to form a notching.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 The first laser generator 110 can be disposed between the supply section 10 and the recovery section 20 of the electrode film 30, which is transferred in a roll-to-roll manner. The first laser generator 110 can be a laser that irradiates the electrode film 30 with a laser beam to cut the electrode film 30. Furthermore, the beam quality, output, and pulse conditions of the first laser generator 110 can be optimized according to the material (e.g., Al, Cu) and thickness of the electrode film 30.
[0041] However, during the process of cutting the electrode film 30, the laser energy of the first laser generator 110 can melt the active material 32 and foil 31 of the electrode film 30, and when the melt is re-solidified, weld residues (e.g., slag, burrs) may be generated.
[0042] The sensor unit 300 can sense whether weld residue is generated on the cut surface of the electrode film 30.
[0043] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating, by way of example, a sensor section 300 of one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the sensor section of one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sensor unit 300 may include a first sensor 310 and a second sensor 320 for sensing weld residue. The first sensor 310 may be disposed on the upper part of the electrode film 30 to sense weld residue, and the second sensor 320 may be disposed on the side of the electrode film 30 to sense weld residue.
[0045] Reference Figure 4 The sensor unit 300 can be a camera equipped with a lens.
[0046] The sensor unit 300 may include a first sensor 310 for inspecting the upper surface of the electrode film 30 and a second sensor 320 for inspecting the side surface of the electrode film 30, thereby sensing weld residue from multiple directions.
[0047] The first sensor 310 can be disposed on the upper side of the electrode film 30 to sense whether weld residue is generated on the cut surface in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the electrode film 30.
[0048] The first sensor 310 can be equipped with a common macro lens to ensure a wide field of view. This allows for rapid and efficient inspection of the upper surface of the electrode film 30.
[0049] In addition, the second sensor 320 can sense whether weld residue is generated on the cut surface in the direction perpendicular to the transfer direction of the electrode film 30, i.e., in the lateral direction of the electrode film 30.
[0050] The second sensor 320 can use a high-resolution macro lens to sense the side of the relatively narrow electrode film 30.
[0051] The sensor unit 300 may further include a light-emitting unit 301 for irradiating light onto the cut surface of the electrode film 30.
[0052] The light-emitting part 301 can be an LED (light-emitting diode) for illumination. By illuminating the electrode film 30, which is the object being inspected, the light-emitting part 301 helps the sensor part 300 to more accurately sense weld residue.
[0053] In particular, the light-emitting part 301 can be configured to illuminate light in the same direction as the sensing direction of the sensor part 300, so that the sensor part 300 can more effectively sense weld residue.
[0054] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensor unit 300 may further include a third sensor 330, which can sense weld residue in a direction different from the sensing direction of the first sensor 310 and the sensing direction of the second sensor 320.
[0055] The sensing direction of the third sensor 330 can form a predetermined angle with the sensing direction of the first sensor 310, that is, the line perpendicular to the upper surface of the electrode film 30.
[0056] Furthermore, the sensing direction of the third sensor 330 can form an angle with the sensing direction of the second sensor 320, that is, the lateral direction perpendicular to the transfer direction of the electrode film.
[0057] Figure 5 (a) is observed from the upper surface (x-axis direction) of the electrode film 30. Figure 4 A schematic diagram, Figure 5 (b) is an observation from the side (y-axis direction) of the electrode film 30. Figure 4 A schematic diagram.
[0058] Reference Figure 5 (a) The third sensor 330 can be configured to form a predetermined angle with the monitoring direction of the second sensor 320 and monitor the electrode film 30. Furthermore, referring to... Figure 5 (b) The third sensor 330 can be configured to form a predetermined angle with the monitoring direction of the first sensor 310 and monitor the electrode film 30.
[0059] Here, although Figure 5 (b) shows that the third sensor 330 is disposed on the upper side of the electrode film 30, but it is not limited thereto; the third sensor 330 may also be disposed on the lower side of the electrode film 30.
[0060] That is, the third sensor 330 can form a predetermined angle with the plane (xy plane) where the first sensor 310 and the second sensor 320 are set and monitor the electrode film 30.
[0061] Here, the angle formed by the sensing direction of the third sensor 330 and the sensing direction of the first sensor 310 or the sensing direction of the second sensor 320 can be more than 30° and less than 60°. Preferably, the angle formed by the sensing direction of the third sensor 330 and the sensing direction of the first sensor 310 or the sensing direction of the second sensor 320 can be about 45°.
[0062] The third sensor 330 can be configured to form a predetermined angle with the first sensor 310 and the second sensor 320, thereby enabling the use of triangulation to sense the protrusion height and tilt of the weld residue, and to sense the weld residue of the moving electrode film 30 without blind spots.
[0063] On the other hand, the sensor unit 300 can be a laser displacement sensor or a 3D scanner. A laser displacement sensor uses a laser to measure the distance to the object, thereby sensing changes in the height of the cut surface or protruding weld residue. Furthermore, a 3D scanner can accurately determine the presence and size of weld residue by reconstructing the overall three-dimensional shape of the cut surface.
[0064] Refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the grooving device 100 may further include a laser driving unit 200 that can adjust the laser emission position and emission angle of the second laser generator 120.
[0065] The control unit 400 can control the laser drive unit 200 based on the sensing results of the sensor unit 300, thereby adjusting the emission position and emission angle of the second laser generator 120 to remove welding residue.
[0066] For example, the laser drive unit 200 can be configured as a robotic arm or a mechanical actuator, which can change the angle of the second laser generator 120 according to the command of the control unit 400, which will be described later. That is, the laser drive unit 200 can be a robotic arm with multiple joints, or a ball screw or piezoelectric actuator connected by tilting and rotating parts.
[0067] The laser drive unit 200 can change the position and angle of the second laser generator 120. The laser drive unit 200 can irradiate the second laser generator 120 in a vertical direction to remove residues on the upper surface, or in a horizontal or inclined direction to remove residues on the side.
[0068] The control unit 400 can be implemented by a non-volatile memory (not shown) and a processor (not shown). The non-volatile memory is configured to store data related to software instructions for an algorithm or reproduction algorithm used to control the operation of various components of the first laser generator 110, the second laser generator 120, and the laser drive unit 200. The processor is configured to use the data stored in the memory to perform operations that will be described below.
[0069] Here, the memory and processor can be implemented using separate chips. Alternatively, the memory and processor can be implemented using a single chip integrated with each other. The processor can take the form of more than one processor.
[0070] The control unit 400 can control the second laser generator 120 based on the sensing results of the sensor unit 300. The control unit 400 can analyze the data transmitted in real time from the sensor unit 300 and confirm the location and amount of weld residue generated.
[0071] The control unit 400 can control the laser drive unit 200 based on the sensing results of the sensor unit 300, and move the second laser generator 120 to a position suitable for removing welding residue by controlling the laser drive unit 200.
[0072] In addition, the control unit 400 can variably control the power, position, and angle of the second laser generator 120 to determine the optimal conditions for removing weld residue.
[0073] Reference Figure 3 (a) The electrode film 30 may include a foil 31 of a metal material such as aluminum and an electrode active material 32 disposed on at least one of the two sides of the foil 31.
[0074] Reference Figure 3 (b) The electrode film 30 can be slotted using the first laser generator 110. During this process, the electrode film 30 may be melted by the energy of the first laser generator 110, resulting in weld residue.
[0075] Here, weld residue can be formed by molten material flowing out and solidifying around the cut surface, or by solidifying and adhering to the bottom under gravity. Weld residue generated on the electrode film 30 may lead to product defects in subsequent processes.
[0076] Reference Figure 3 (c) According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the grooving apparatus 100 can continuously sense whether weld residue is generated by the first laser generator 110 through the sensor unit 300. Furthermore, when weld residue is sensed by the sensor unit 300, the control unit 400 can remove the weld residue using the second laser generator 120.
[0077] Here, the second laser generator 120 can be used to remove weld residue by means of remelting, cutting and evaporation.
[0078] The remelting method involves irradiating the weld residue with low energy by the second laser generator 120 to remelt the residue, causing the molten material to re-adhere evenly onto the surrounding electrode film 30. That is, the control unit 400 can precisely control the second laser generator 120 to selectively melt the weld residue and then re-solidify it, thereby removing unnecessary protruding weld residue.
[0079] Furthermore, cutting and evaporation can be achieved by irradiating the weld residue with high energy through the second laser generator 120 to evaporate or cut the residue, thereby removing the cutting residue. The control unit 400 can use the second laser generator 120 to instantly heat the residue to vaporize it, thereby enabling the removal of weld residue without the need for a physical removal process, which is particularly effective when the amount of weld residue is large.
[0080] On the other hand, the control unit 400 can adopt any one or a combination of remelting, cutting and evaporation methods.
[0081] Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a slotting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0082] Reference Figure 6A grooving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: step S600 of cutting electrode film 30 with a first laser generator 110; step S700 of sensing whether weld residue is generated; and step S800 of removing weld residue with a second laser generator 120.
[0083] Step S600, which involves cutting the electrode film 30 with the first laser generator 110, may be a step of cutting a portion of the electrode film 30 being transferred by the first laser generator 110 to perform grooving.
[0084] During the process of cutting a portion of the electrode film 30 with the first laser generator 110, the active material 32 and foil 31 of the electrode film 30 may be melted by the energy of the first laser generator 110, and weld residue may be generated when the melt re-solidifies.
[0085] Here, weld residue can reduce the precision of the electrode and may cause defects in subsequent processes.
[0086] Step S700, which involves sensing whether weld residue has been generated, can be a step where the sensor unit 300 senses whether weld residue has been generated. In particular, in step S700, the height and protruding shape of the weld residue can be sensed.
[0087] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensor unit 300 may be disposed at the rear end of the first laser generator 110 with reference to the transfer direction of the electrode film 30, and may include multiple sensors disposed at different positions to each other.
[0088] For example, the sensor unit 300 may include a first sensor 310, a second sensor 320, and a third sensor 330 disposed at different positions from each other, and the first sensor 310, the second sensor 320, and the third sensor 330 may each include a camera with a lens.
[0089] More specifically, the first sensor 310 can sense whether weld residue has been generated from the top of the electrode film 30, and the second sensor 320 can sense whether weld residue has been generated from the side of the electrode film 30. The second sensor 320 can use a high-resolution lens to accurately sense the side of the electrode film 30. In addition, the third sensor 330 can sense weld residue from a different angle than the first sensor 310 and the second sensor 320, thereby sensing weld residue without blind spots, and using triangulation to confirm the height and protruding shape of the weld residue.
[0090] Furthermore, the sensor unit 300 may further include a light-emitting unit 301 for illuminating light onto the sensing area.
[0091] The light-emitting part 301 can be an LED light source, which can help the sensor part 300 to more accurately sense weld residues by illuminating the electrode film 30, which is the object of inspection.
[0092] Step S800, which involves using the second laser generator 120 to remove weld residue, can be a step in which the control unit 400 controls the laser drive unit 200 based on the result sensed in step S700, which senses whether weld residue has been generated, thereby adjusting the power, position, and angle of the second laser generator 120 to remove the weld residue.
[0093] Furthermore, in step S800, which involves removing the weld residue using a second laser generator, the method for removing the weld residue can be determined based on the height and protruding shape of the weld residue.
[0094] In step S800, when the second laser generator 120 is used to remove weld residue, the control unit 400 can control the laser drive unit 200 based on the result sensed in step S700, which senses whether weld residue has been generated, thereby adjusting the position and angle of the second laser generator 120 so as to remove the weld residue and remove the weld residue in a determined manner.
[0095] Here, the second laser generator 120 can be used to remove weld residue by means of remelting, cutting and evaporation.
[0096] The remelting method involves the second laser generator 120 irradiating the weld residue with low energy to remelt the residue, so that the molten material is uniformly reattached to the electrode film 30.
[0097] That is, by using remelting, the second laser generator 120 is precisely controlled by the control unit 400 to selectively melt the weld residue and then resolidify it, thereby removing unnecessary protruding weld residue.
[0098] Furthermore, the cutting and evaporation methods involve the second laser generator 120 irradiating the weld residue with high energy to evaporate or cut the residue, thereby removing it. The control unit 400 can use the second laser generator 120 to instantly heat the residue to vaporize it, thus enabling the removal of weld residue without a physical removal process, which is particularly effective when the amount of weld residue is large.
[0099] On the other hand, in step S800 of removing weld residue with the second laser generator 120, any one or a combination of methods, such as remelting, cutting and evaporation, can be used based on the result sensed in step S700 of sensing whether weld residue has been generated.
[0100] For example, in step S700, when sensing whether weld residue has been generated, if a low level or a small amount of weld residue is detected, the weld residue can be removed by remelting.
[0101] Furthermore, in step S700, when sensing whether weld residue has been generated, if a high level or a large amount of weld residue is detected, the weld residue can be removed by cutting and evaporation.
[0102] In step S800, which uses the second laser generator 120 to remove weld residue, the power of the second laser generator 120 can be controlled by the control unit 400 to remelt the weld residue, or to cut or evaporate the weld residue to remove it, thereby improving the grooving quality of the electrode film.
[0103] The method according to the present invention can be implemented as program instructions executable by various computer devices and can be recorded in a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc., individually or in combination. The program instructions recorded in the computer-readable medium may be specifically designed and configured for the present invention or may be known to those skilled in the art of computer software.
[0104] Examples of computer-readable media include hardware devices specifically configured to store and execute program instructions, such as ROM, RAM, and flash memory. Examples of program instructions include not only machine language code generated by a compiler, but also high-level language code that can be executed on a computer using an interpreter. The hardware device can be configured to function as at least one software module to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.
[0105] The embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above, but the scope of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the technical concept of this disclosure as set forth in the claims, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
