[0002] Lithium battery positive electrode materials (such as lithium cobalt oxide) are usually prepared by sintering in a roller kiln, and the sintering process directly determines its performance. Specifically, a certain ratio of raw materials is generally put into a sagger, and then the sagger is placed on the roller automatic line of the roller kiln. Driven by the roller automatic line, it is continuously and evenly sintered to prepare the positive electrode material of the lithium battery. Among them, the quality of the sagger has a great influence on the sintering process and determines the uniformity of the sintering of the material. When the sagger has defects such as cracks and peeling, it is easy to seriously absorb lithium, affecting the capacity and other properties of the lithium battery positive electrode material products, and then affecting the performance of the lithium battery products.

[0045] It is not difficult to understand that the image acquisition device 7 can be used to collect images of the sintering sagger 11 and transmit them to the controller 3. The controller 3 can be used to identify defects and judge the scrapping of the sintering sagger 11 according to the received images. When the sintering sagger 11 is judged to be scrapped, the transfer device 5 does not work, and the scrapped sagger 11 can be sent out by the detection conveyor line 4 through the scrapped bowl outlet 42. At the same time, the controller 3 can control the supplementary conveyor line 6 to convey the new sagger 12 to the roller kiln; when it is judged that the sintering sagger 11 is not scrapped, the transfer device 5 can be controlled to work to transfer the unscrapped sagger 11 from the unscrapped bowl outlet 41 to the roller kiln, and the supplementary conveyor line 6 does not work. In this way, the automatic identification and replacement of the scrapped sagger can be realized, the work efficiency is high, the identification accuracy is also high, and it is not easy to replace or miss the sagger.

[0048] Specifically, the furnace-entry conveyor line 2 can be used to receive unscrapped sintering saggers 11 or new saggers 12, and a loading device can be provided to load materials into the corresponding saggers. The furnace-entry conveyor line 2 can deliver the saggers loaded with materials into the furnace conveyor line through the entrance of the roller hearth kiln; the furnace conveyor line is located inside the roller hearth kiln and can be used to continuously transport the sintering saggers 11 for continuous sintering. After sintering is completed, the furnace conveyor line transports the sintering saggers 11 to the furnace-exit conveyor line through the outlet of the roller hearth kiln; the furnace-exit conveyor line can be provided with a unloading device to unload the sintering saggers 11, and the unloaded saggers 11 can be delivered to the detection conveyor line 4; the detection conveyor line 4 transports the sintering saggers 11 During the process, the image acquisition device 7 thereon can acquire images of the sintering sagger 11, and the controller 3 can determine whether the sintering sagger 11 is scrapped according to the acquired sagger image. When it is determined that the sintering sagger 11 is not scrapped, the transfer device 5 can be controlled to transfer the sintering sagger 11 from the non-scrapped bowl outlet 41 to the furnace conveyor line 2 via the first conveying entrance 21. When it is determined that the sintering sagger 11 is scrapped, the detection conveyor line 4 can send the sintering sagger 11 out through the scrapped bowl outlet 42, and the controller 3 can control the supplementary conveyor line 6 to transport the new sagger 12 from the supplementary bowl outlet 61 to the furnace conveyor line 2 via the second conveying entrance 22. In this way, automatic identification and replacement of the scrapped saggers are realized.
[0049] In an embodiment not shown in the present application, the conveying direction of the detection conveyor line 4 is consistent with the conveying direction of the furnace conveyor line 2, the non-scrapped bowl outlet 41 can be located at the end of the detection conveyor line 4 in the conveying direction, and the scrapped bowl outlet 42 can be located on one side of the conveying direction of the detection conveyor line 4. At this time, the transfer device 5 can transfer the scrapped sintering sagger 11 out of the detection conveyor line 4 from the scrapped bowl outlet 42, and the non-scrapped sintering sagger 11 is transported from the detection conveyor line 4 to the furnace conveyor line 2 via the non-scrapped bowl outlet 41.
[0050] In actual setting, the transfer device 5 can be a transfer robot device arranged on one side of the detection conveyor line 4, or it can be a corner lifting platform arranged on the detection conveyor line 4, without specific limitation.
[0051] As an alternative, please refer to Figure 3 The transfer device 5 is a corner lifting platform, which is arranged on the detection conveyor line 4, and can be specifically arranged at a position where the detection conveyor line 4 is directly opposite to the furnace conveyor line 2. The corner lifting platform can specifically include a lifting mechanism and a turning mechanism. The lifting mechanism can lift the sintering sagger 11 on the detection conveyor line 4, and the turning mechanism can transfer the sintering sagger 11 to the furnace conveyor line 2.
[0052] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the sagger identification and replacement system further includes a cleaning system 8; the cleaning system 8 is arranged on the detection conveyor line 4, and the cleaning system 8 is located upstream of the image acquisition device 7, and the cleaning system 8 is used to clean the sintering sagger 11. In this way, the cleaning system 8 can be used to clean the materials sticking to the outer surface of the sintering sagger 11, so that the sagger image acquired by the downstream image acquisition device 7 can better reflect the real situation of the outer surface of the sintering sagger 11, thereby facilitating the improvement of the defect recognition accuracy of the sintering sagger 11.
[0053] When specifically configured, the structure of the cleaning system 8 is not limited.
[0054] As an alternative, please combine Figure 1 It is understood that the cleaning system 8 may include an electric brush 81 and a vacuum suction device 82; the electric brush 81 is located upstream of the vacuum suction device 82, and both the electric brush 81 and the vacuum suction device 82 are connected to the controller 3, and the electric brush 81 can be used to clean the inside of the sintering sagger 11, and the vacuum suction device 82 can be used to absorb the cleaned materials. When in use, the electric brush 81 can be controlled by the controller 3 to move along a fixed trajectory to clean the lithium battery positive electrode material stuck to the inner bottom wall and the inner side wall of the sintering sagger 11, and then the vacuum suction device 82 can be controlled to collect the cleaned materials, further ensuring that there is no obvious sticky material on the inner bottom wall and the inner side wall of the sintering sagger 11, and it is not easily affected by the sticky material when the subsequent image is collected for analysis.
[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the sagger identification and replacement system further includes a first sensor and a second sensor, the detection conveyor line 4 has a cleaning station and a suction station, the electric brush 81 is located above the cleaning station, the vacuum suction device 82 is located above the suction station, the first sensor and the second sensor are respectively arranged at the cleaning station and the suction station, the first sensor and the second sensor are used to sense the sintering sagger 11, and the first sensor and the second sensor are both connected to the controller 3. It can be understood that the first sensor and the second sensor can be photoelectric sensors, when the sintering sagger 11 reaches the cleaning station, the first sensor is blocked, the first sensor will send a cleaning signal to the controller 3, and the controller 3 will control the electric brush 81 to perform a cleaning operation when receiving the cleaning signal; when the sintering sagger 11 reaches the suction station, the second sensor is blocked, the second sensor will send a suction signal to the controller 3, and the controller 3 will control the vacuum suction device 82 to perform a suction operation when receiving the suction signal. In this way, the cleaning efficiency of the sintering sagger 11 can be achieved.
[0056] In the above embodiment provided by the present application, the electric brush 81 and the vacuum suction device 82 are separately arranged. In fact, the electric brush 81 can also be arranged on the vacuum suction device 82 to realize the integrated arrangement of the two. The integrated cleaning system 8 is used to clean the sintering sagger 11 and collect materials at the same time, which can improve the cleaning efficiency. Correspondingly, the sagger identification and replacement system can also include a third sensor, which detects that the conveying line 4 has a cleaning station, and the vacuum suction device 82 is located above the cleaning station. The third sensor is arranged at the cleaning station, and the third sensor is used to sense the sintering sagger 11. The third sensor is connected to the controller 3. The principle of the integrated cleaning system 8 to realize linkage through the third sensor and the controller 3 is similar to the above-mentioned separately arranged cleaning system 8, which will not be repeated here.
[0057] When specifically configured, the electric brush 81 may include a brush head, which may be made of PP material or nylon material, without any specific limitation. As an optional solution, the brush head of the electric brush 81 is made of nylon material, which not only has soft bristles and is not easy to damage the inner surface of the sintering sagger 11 during cleaning, but is also wear-resistant and can be used for continuous and long-term cleaning of the sintering sagger 11 on the detection conveyor line 4, and is also easy to clean.
[0058] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the image acquisition device 7 includes a first image acquisition component 71 and two second image acquisition components 72; the detection conveyor line 4 has a detection station, the first image acquisition component 71 is located above the detection station and is used to acquire the inner bottom wall image of the sintering sagger 11 at the detection station, and the two second image acquisition components 72 are respectively located on both sides of the detection station and are used to acquire the inner side wall image of the sintering sagger 11 at the detection station. In this way, the inner surface image of the sintering sagger 11 can be acquired, and the acquisition surface is relatively complete, which is conducive to improving the defect detection accuracy of the sintering sagger 11.
[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the sagger identification and replacement system may further include a fourth sensor; the fourth sensor is arranged at the detection station, the fourth sensor is used to sense the sintering sagger 11, and the fourth sensor is connected to the controller 3. Specifically, the fourth sensor may be a photoelectric sensor. When the sintering sagger 11 reaches the detection station, the fourth sensor will be blocked, and the fourth sensor will send an image acquisition signal to the controller 3. When the controller 3 receives the image acquisition signal, it will control the first image acquisition component 71 and the two second image acquisition components 72 to acquire images. In this way, the image acquisition efficiency of the sintering sagger 11 can be achieved.
[0060] Of course, the fourth sensor may not be provided, and the first image acquisition component 71 and the two second image acquisition components 72 may perform image acquisition in real time, without any specific limitation.
[0061] In specific configuration, the first image acquisition component 71 and the second image acquisition component 72 may be laser scanners or may be Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the camera above the detection station can face the inner bottom wall of the sintering sagger 11, and the cameras on both sides can face the inner walls of the opposite sides of the sintering sagger 11. Of course, the two cameras on both sides can also be set at the diagonal corners of the rectangular detection station, which is not specifically limited.
[0062] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the image acquisition device 7 can transmit the collected inner bottom wall image and inner side wall image of the sintering sagger 11 to the controller 3, and the controller 3 can process and analyze the received inner bottom wall image and inner side wall image, and can determine whether the inner surface of the sintering sagger 11 has coating peeling, the percentage of peeling area, whether there is cracking, and whether there is damage: when it is determined that the inner surface of the sintering sagger 11 has cracking or damage, or peeling and the percentage of peeling area reaches more than 0.3% of the scrap benchmark, the sintering sagger 11 is judged to be scrapped, and a sagger replacement signal can be sent to the supplementary conveyor line 6. After receiving the sagger replacement signal, the supplementary conveyor line 6 sends a new sagger. 12 is transported from the filling port 61 to the furnace conveying line 2 through the second conveying port 22, and the scrapped sintering sagger 11 is sent out from the inspection conveying line 4 through the scrapped outlet port 42. A scrapped sagger collection box can be set below the scrapped outlet port 42 to collect the scrapped sagger 11; when it is determined that the inner surface of the sintering sagger 11 has no cracks, no damage, no peeling, or peeling but the peeling area accounts for less than 0.3%, it is judged that the sintering sagger 11 is not scrapped, and a normal circulation signal can be sent to the transfer device 5. When the transfer device 5 receives the normal circulation signal, it transfers the non-scrapped sagger 11 from the non-scrapped outlet port 41 through the first conveying port 21 to the furnace conveying line 2. In this way, the automatic identification of defects and automatic judgment of scrapping of the sintering sagger 11, as well as the automatic replacement of scrapped saggers and the normal circulation of non-scrapped saggers are realized.
[0063] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The sagger identification and replacement system further includes a display 9; the display 9 is connected to the controller 3.

[0064] In actual settings, the detection conveyor line 4, the supplementary conveyor line 6, the furnace inlet conveyor line 2, and the furnace outlet conveyor line can all be roller conveyor systems, belt conveyor systems, or plate chain conveyor systems, without specific restrictions. Among them, the detection conveyor line 4 can have a frame, and the image acquisition device 7 and the cleaning system 8 can be fixed to the frame; each conveyor line can have a driving member, and the controller 3 can control the operation and shutdown of the corresponding conveyor line by controlling the corresponding driving member. For example, when the sintering sagger 11 reaches the cleaning station, the suction station, and the detection station, the speed of the sintering sagger 11 can be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the driving member of the detection conveyor line 4, so as to provide time for cleaning, suction, and image acquisition.
