Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In recent years, with the rising prices of fuel and other materials, new energy has been widely used, and the core of new energy is battery. Lithium-ion batteries are more popular because they have longer battery life than ordinary batteries. Lithium-ion batteries generally use lithium alloy metal oxides as positive electrode materials and graphite as negative electrode materials. Among them, the positive electrode material is composed of lithium iron phosphate or ternary lithium and aluminum foil, and the thickness of the coating is generally between 50-200um. Since the coating thickness plays a key role in the performance parameters of the battery, and the uniformity of the coating thickness also affects the reliability and accuracy of the product, the coating thickness needs to be measured in the manufacture of lithium batteries, and the measurement accuracy will also affect the accuracy of the measurement.
[0003] At present, the conventional detection method for battery coating thickness is to use micrometer for post-process sampling. The specific method is: manually measure the thickness at the edge position, but manual measurement is inefficient and has large errors. The proficiency of manual operation and the strength of measurement will affect the measurement results. Therefore, it cannot meet the needs of mass production of high-precision products.
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of manual measurement, laser beam detection is also used in the current process. However, the laser cannot penetrate the conductive medium inside the battery coating. Therefore, after measurement, it can only be calculated by thickness subtraction. The data obtained in this way is the total value of the thickness of the aluminum foil plus the upper and lower coatings. It is difficult to accurately obtain the thickness of a single-sided coating.
