Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery testing equipment, in particular to a battery core testing and retesting device. Background Art

[0002] Battery cells are a crucial component of lithium-ion battery components, essentially the heart of the battery. Their production quality is highly demanding, and any surface defects can impact battery performance and safety. Battery cells are prone to defects like scratches and dents during the production process, so they undergo a visual inspection before shipment to ensure quality.

[0003] Battery cell visual inspection not only helps identify potential manufacturing defects and failures, but also improves production efficiency and product quality, ensures safety and reliability, and meets industry regulations and standards. These factors combine to make battery visual inspection an indispensable part of battery production, maintenance, and quality control.

[0004] Battery cell inspection is complex. Traditional visual inspection relies primarily on manual observation, which is not only inefficient but also results in high volatility and uncertainty. Using machine vision inspection equipment can significantly increase inspection speed and accuracy, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0005] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN117225729A discloses a battery appearance inspection device, including an end face inspection area and a side edge inspection area; both the end face inspection area and the side edge inspection area are equipped with a transport mechanism and a visual inspection device. The visual inspection device can inspect the appearance of the battery, and the qualified and unqualified batteries after inspection are sorted by a sorting mechanism. However, when the above-mentioned battery appearance inspection device performs an appearance inspection on the battery, each side of the battery is only inspected once to determine whether its appearance is qualified. There is no secondary detailed inspection of the battery appearance and no re-inspection of NG batteries. This will result in a lower battery qualification rate and affect the company's production efficiency. In addition, the battery appearance inspection device is relatively small in scale and cannot meet the needs of large-scale battery inspection lines. Utility Model Content

The large-surface inspection transfer and transplant component is used to transfer the cells that have passed the front inspection over the cell back inspection component and place them on the transfer placement platform. The cell back inspection component is used to detect whether there are defects on the back of the cells transferred by the large-surface inspection transfer and transplant component. The transfer placement platform is used to place the cells that have passed the rough inspection. One side of the transfer placement platform is provided with rough The conveyor belt for qualified battery cells, the conveyor belt for qualified battery cells in detailed inspection, the conveyor belt for NG battery cells and the conveyor belt for qualified battery cells in manual re-inspection are provided.

[0009] With this technical solution, after the battery cells are transferred from the infeed conveyor to the large-surface inspection assembly, they undergo a rough inspection, with the results determining their transfer location. If the appearance is normal, the rough inspection transfer and transplant assembly directly transfers the product from the transfer platform to the rough inspection qualified cell conveyor for transport to the next process step. If the rough inspection reveals surface damage, the transfer and transplant assembly transfers the cell to the detailed inspection conveyor. After passing the flip assembly, the robotic arm assembly conducts a detailed inspection of both surfaces. Once the detailed inspection passes, the transfer and transplant assembly transfers the cell to the qualified cell conveyor for transport to the next process step. If the detailed inspection still fails to meet the standards, the transfer and transplant assembly transfers the cell to the qualified cell conveyor for manual re-inspection. Passing cells are placed on the qualified cell conveyor, while failing cells are placed in a 'good' box on a custom cart for subsequent recycling.
