Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium battery manufacturing, in particular to a light-shielding diaphragm photoelectric deviation correction sensor. Background Art

[0002] In the lithium battery manufacturing process, winding the positive and negative electrodes and diaphragms into battery cells is a critical step. There are two common winding types: square and cylindrical. The deviation control is the most critical system in the winding process. Diaphragm deviation correction mostly uses ultrasonic deviation correction sensors and controller closed-loop to achieve high-precision monitoring of diaphragm displacement.

[0003] As the requirements for high energy density and high ion conduction efficiency of lithium batteries increase, the diaphragm is becoming thinner and thinner. It is common to see diaphragm wrinkles during the winding process of the battery cells in production. Diaphragm wrinkles can lead to uneven distribution of battery internal resistance, local lithium deposition, and short circuit risks, which are risk items that are not allowed to occur in production. In addition to factors such as inappropriate winding tension and inappropriate diaphragm unwinding position, in more cases, the diaphragm is suspended on both sides when passing through the U-shaped ultrasonic correction sensor, and the diaphragm curls on one side of the correction, causing the correction sensor to fail to sense the real edge. The thinner the diaphragm, the weaker its own support force and the greater the curling possibility. The controller feeds back the wrong diaphragm edge position coordinates, and the controller sends a correction command to the actuator to adjust the position of the diaphragm unwinding plate, resulting in a mismatch between the horizontal position of the diaphragm and the diaphragm entry position at the winding needle, resulting in continuous diaphragm wrinkles. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present application sets a photodiode matrix in the transparent roller, sets a light source on the outer box body at a position corresponding to the photodiode, realizes the detection of the light shielding amount of the diaphragm through the cooperation of the photodiode and the light source, and outputs the corresponding voltage change value to the diaphragm correction actuator. In this way, the position offset distance of the diaphragm material can be accurately measured. Compared with the existing correction sensor technology, the risk of misjudgment caused by the collapse of the diaphragm edge is avoided. The photoelectric sensor is not limited by the thickness of the diaphragm, and provides a basis for the application and production of diaphragms with lower thickness.

[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: the width of the light source is greater than the width of the diaphragm.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A light-shielding diaphragm photoelectric deflection correction sensor comprises an outer box body 1, a diaphragm groove 2, a photosensitive diode matrix 4, a roller 5 and a light source 6, wherein the photosensitive diode matrix 4, the roller 5 and the light source 6 are all distributed inside the outer box body 1, and the diaphragm groove 2 is symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the outer box body 1, and the diaphragm 3 that needs to be corrected in this application can enter the outer box body 1 from the front diaphragm groove 2 on the outer box body 1, and then fit the roller 5 for transmission, and the photosensitive diode matrix 4 in the roller 5 is located below the diaphragm 3 at this time, and the light source 6 is located above the diaphragm 3, and then the diaphragm 3 passes through the rear diaphragm groove 2 on the outer box body 1, and this process can realize the photoelectric deflection correction of the diaphragm.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The outer box body 1 as a whole adopts an opaque dark box, which can be used for shading. The roller 5 and the light source assembly are installed inside the dark box, which can just block the interference of the external light source to the inside of the box body. The diaphragm groove 2 opened on the front and rear sides of the outer box body 1 is wider than the diaphragm 3, so as to facilitate the passage of diaphragms of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the dark box.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 A photodiode matrix 4 is arranged inside the roller 5. The roller 5 is made of transparent resin and can transmit light. The photodiode matrix 4 is in a long strip structure and has the same shape as the light source 6. The light source 6 is arranged on the inner top of the outer box body 1, and the photodiode matrix 4 and the light source 6 are symmetrically arranged inside and outside the roller 5. It should be noted that the widths of the photodiode matrix 4 and the light source 6 are both greater than the width of the diaphragm 3.

[0033] Furthermore, a reverse voltage is set at both ends of the photodiode matrix 4 to increase the reverse current.

[0034] Furthermore, the light source 6 is a long strip light source with constant intensity.

[0035] Furthermore, a load resistor is electrically connected to the photodiode matrix 4 .

[0036] The detection principle of the diaphragm deviation correction sensor of the present application is: a long strip photodiode matrix 4 is arranged inside the transparent resin roller 5, and a long strip constant intensity light source 6 is arranged on the upper part of the roller 5 facing the photodiode matrix 4: when there is no light, it has only a small dark current like an ordinary diode; when there is light, the transparent window on the shell of the photodiode 4 receives light irradiation, and the light energy is transferred to the bound electrons on the covalent bond, and the carriers are excited to generate electron holes, namely photoelectric carriers. Under the action of the external electric field, the photoelectric carriers participate in conduction, generating a reverse current much larger than the dark current, namely the photocurrent, and the voltage signal on the load resistor is proportional to the size of the photocurrent. The size of the photocurrent is proportional to the number of diodes in the photosensitive state.

[0037] The specific steps of this application are as follows:

[0038] (1) The diaphragm material position is preset to have a balance position, an upper limit position, and a lower limit position. The balance position of the diaphragm is the initial position, which is not offset from the diaphragm winding position at the winding needle. The diaphragm blocks half of the photosensitive area of ​​the diode matrix 4 as a benchmark. At this time, the voltage signal value of the load resistor is X; the upper limit position is preset to be when the diaphragm 3 completely blocks the diode matrix, and the voltage signal on the load resistor is the minimum value; the lower limit position is preset to be when the diaphragm does not block the light-transmitting area, and the voltage signal on the load resistor reaches the maximum value;

[0039] (2) The diaphragm runs from the top of the transparent roller 5. When the diaphragm 3 blocks a part of the light flux emitted by the light source, the area of ​​the light flux projected onto the photodiode matrix 4 changes. The degree of change is linearly related to the position of the object to be measured in the light path.

[0040] (3) The distance that the diaphragm material deviates from the center is detected to obtain the voltage value change on the load resistor. The voltage value signal is transmitted to the correction controller, which converts it into an electrical signal; the correction controller transmits it to the external correction actuator of the diaphragm, and then outputs it to the servo motor (the servo motor is the motor that controls the diaphragm transmission) to move the unwinding plate station, so that the load voltage signal returns to the X value, and the negative feedback closed-loop correction control is completed to restore the diaphragm to the equilibrium position. The servo motor responds quickly to control the output torque, so that the material position moves a certain distance within the preset position range for high-precision control.

[0041] The relationship between the output voltage on the load resistor and the position of the material being tested (diaphragm 3) is:

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
