[0002] Battery foil is a key component of lithium-ion batteries, and its performance directly affects the overall performance of the batteries. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in battery research and development and production. The battery foil market has put forward higher requirements for battery foil products. Battery foil customers have increasingly strict quality requirements for battery foil products. The phenomenon of tape breakage caused by pinhole defects in battery foil materials occurs from time to time. Through previous traceability, it is mainly the fixed-position string-shaped pinholes generated in the cold rolling process, mainly caused by foreign objects sticking to the inlet guide rollers of cold rolling.

[0003] Some pinholes in battery foil products are generated during the cold rolling process, mainly due to surface scratches caused by foreign objects on the guide rollers. As the number of rolling passes increases, the scratches after rolling are not easily detected. As the thickness continuously decreases, more and more pinholes appear. After the final thickness of the battery foil product reaches 0.008 - 0.015 mm, its surface scratches are even more difficult to detect. Existing devices are difficult to timely detect pressing scratches, resulting in an increase in the probability of materials with pinhole defects caused by surface pressing scratches, a decrease in the finished product rate, thus wasting raw materials and causing economic losses.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a detection device for surface pressing scratches of battery foil aluminum foil blanks to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] The specific connection methods of each part all adopt conventional means such as bolts, rivets, welding, etc. that are mature in the prior art. For machinery, parts and equipment, conventional models are used. For the exhaust fan system, thermocouple, heating rod, and lighting lamp, an external power supply is provided. The driving roller is connected to a conveyor motor. The circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0025] As shown in the Figure 1 and the Figure 2 drawings, this utility model discloses a detection device for surface pressing scratches of battery foil aluminum foil blanks, which includes a caustic washing, degreasing and deashing tank 1, a nitric acid neutralization tank 2, and a water washing tank 3 arranged in sequence. Between the caustic washing, degreasing and deashing tank 1, the nitric acid neutralization tank 2, and the water washing tank 3, a number of conveyor rollers 10 for conveying the battery foil aluminum foil blanks 11 are provided. Above the caustic washing, degreasing and deashing tank 1, the nitric acid neutralization tank 2, and the water washing tank 3, an exhaust fan system 4 is provided. The exhaust fan system 4 has at least two exhaust fans, and the two exhaust fans are respectively above the caustic washing, degreasing and deashing tank 1 and the nitric acid neutralization tank 2. The exhaust fan system 4 is used to absorb the generated gas, and an additional exhaust fan can be provided for the water washing tank 3.

[0026] The caustic washing, degreasing and deashing tank 1, the nitric acid neutralization tank 2, and the water washing tank 3 are all acid and alkali resistant rectangular tanks. The length, width, and height of the outer dimensions of the rectangular tank are 1700 mm, 300 mm, and 1000 mm in sequence, and the wall thickness of the rectangular tank is 20 mm.

[0027] Inside the alkali cleaning, degreasing and ash removing tank 1, there is a heating rod 9 for heating the alkali solution, and a thermocouple 5 for detecting the temperature of the tank is inserted into the alkali cleaning, degreasing and ash removing tank 1. When the temperature of the alkali cleaning, degreasing and ash removing tank is 40 - 60 °C, the heating rod 9 is turned off, and the battery foil aluminum foil blank 11 is put in. The battery foil aluminum foil blank 11 will react with the alkali solution, and white foam will be generated on the surface. The concentration of the alkali solution inside the alkali cleaning, degreasing and ash removing tank 1 is 5 - 10%.

[0028] The concentration of nitric acid in the nitric acid neutralization tank 2 is 9 - 11%, which can neutralize the alkalinity on the surface of the battery foil aluminum foil blank 11.

[0029] At the tail end of the alkali cleaning, degreasing and ash removing tank 1, there is a first wiping device 6, and above the first wiping device 6, there is a lighting lamp 7. By placing the lighting lamp 7, its defects can be reflected under direct light, making it convenient to observe. At the tail end of the nitric acid neutralization tank 2, there is a second wiping device 8 that can wipe the acid solution on the surface of the battery foil aluminum foil blank 11, thus avoiding the accumulation of acidity in the liquid in the subsequent water washing tank 3, and thus the need for frequent replacement. The surfaces of both the first wiping device 6 and the second wiping device 8 have acid and alkali resistant absorption wiping cloths.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, the thermocouple 5 is used to observe the heating situation of the heating rod 9 in the alkali cleaning, degreasing and ash removing tank 1. When the temperature of the alkali solution is about 50 °C, driven by the conveyor roller 10, the battery foil aluminum foil blank 11 enters the alkali cleaning, degreasing and ash removing tank 1 for 10 - 60 s. The battery foil aluminum foil blank 11 will react with the alkali solution, and white foam will be generated on the surface. The surface is observed, and then the battery foil aluminum foil blank 11 passes through the first wiping device 6. Under the illumination of the lighting lamp 7, the scratches on its surface are found and marked. After the surface acidity and alkalinity are neutralized in the nitric acid neutralization tank 2, it is wiped by the second wiping device 8 and enters the water washing tank 3 for normal temperature cleaning of the surface. Subsequently, the surface is observed manually to determine the position and degree of the scratches.

[0031] Therefore, by adopting the above detection device for surface rolling scratches of the battery foil aluminum foil blank, the present utility model can timely detect the scratches on the surface of the battery foil aluminum foil, reduce the generation of pinhole defects, avoid the generation of batch quality problems, reduce the waste loss phenomenon caused by pinhole problems on site, and improve the yield of the battery foil product.
