[0029] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-5 The present application will be described in further detail, but not as a limitation of the present application.
[0030] As Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, the pole piece coating detection device; including rack 1, conveying mechanism 2, anti-jumping coating detection mechanism 3 and coating detection mechanism 4; conveying mechanism 2 is connected to rack 1, and is used for conveying the already coated foil 6; anti-jumping coating detection mechanism 3 is connected to rack 1; the detection direction of anti-jumping coating detection mechanism 3 is arranged to intersect with the conveying direction of conveying mechanism 2; coating detection mechanism 4 is connected to rack 1; the detection direction of coating detection mechanism 4 is arranged to intersect with the conveying direction of conveying mechanism 2; and an assembly gap 7 is arranged between anti-jumping coating detection mechanism 3 and coating detection mechanism 4.
[0031] The technical scheme of the utility model realizes that the coating detection mechanism and the anti-jumping coating detection mechanism are assembled to two different positions of the rack through the assembly gap, so that when any one of the coating detection mechanism and the anti-jumping coating detection mechanism can sense the foil missing, the coating machine does not stop coating when coating normally, the jumping coating in the coating process is reduced, and the abnormal coating size phenomenon is caused; further, the size of the coating processing is guaranteed, the number of foil bad scrap is reduced, and the coating efficiency is improved.
[0032] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 The anti-jumping coating detection mechanism 3 comprises a first optical fiber sensing part 31, a first mounting seat 32 and a first optical fiber amplifier 33; the first mounting seat 32 is arranged on the rack 1; the first optical fiber sensing part 31 is connected to the first mounting seat 32; and the detection direction of the first optical fiber sensing part 31 is arranged to intersect the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2; the assembly gap 7 is formed between the first optical fiber sensing part 31 and the coating detection mechanism 4; and the first optical fiber amplifier 33 is arranged on the rack 1 and is electrically connected to the first optical fiber sensing part 31. The first optical fiber sensing part 31 utilizes the total reflection principle of light; when the light signal is shot into the fiber core at a specific angle, total reflection occurs on the interface between the fiber core and the cladding, so that the light can continuously reflect in the fiber core and propagate along a straight line, and even if the optical fiber is bent, it will not escape. The first optical fiber sensing part 31 receives the light signal and converts it into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the first optical fiber amplifier 33; the original information is recovered after demodulation by the first optical fiber amplifier 33; and the missing coating position and size of the coating can be detected more clearly, and the accuracy of detection and collection is improved.
[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and 3 The angle between the detection direction of the first optical fiber sensing part 31 and the plane where the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2 is located is α, and 0° < α < 90° is satisfied. α can be 75°, 80°, 85°, 60°, 65°, 70°, etc. The structure can sense the bottom coating foil in advance relative to the coating detection mechanism 4 through the installation mode smaller than a right angle, the operation of stopping coating when the second optical fiber sensing part 41 senses the missing coating can be avoided, the jumping coating in the coating process is reduced, and the abnormal coating size phenomenon is caused; further, the size of the coating processing is guaranteed, the number of foil bad scrap is reduced, and the coating efficiency is improved.
[0034] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and 2As shown, the coating detection mechanism 4 comprises a second optical fiber sensing element 41, a second mounting base 42 and a second optical fiber amplifier 43; the second mounting base 42 is arranged on the rack 1; the second optical fiber sensing element 41 is connected to the second mounting base 42; and the detection direction of the second optical fiber sensing element 41 is arranged to intersect the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2; the second optical fiber sensing element 41 and the anti-jumping coating detection mechanism 3 (the first optical fiber sensing element 31) form the assembly gap 7; the second optical fiber amplifier 43 is arranged on the rack 1 and is electrically connected to the second optical fiber sensing element 41. Among them, the second optical fiber sensing element 41 also utilizes the principle of total reflection of light; when the light signal is incident into the fiber core at a certain angle, total reflection will occur on the interface between the fiber core and the cladding, so that the light can continuously reflect in the fiber core and propagate along a straight line, even if the optical fiber is bent. The second optical fiber sensing element 41 receives the light signal and converts it into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the second optical fiber amplifier 43; after demodulation by the second optical fiber amplifier 43, the original information is recovered; and the missed coating position and size of the coating can be detected more clearly; thereby improving the accuracy of detection and collection.
[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and 4 The angle between the detection direction of the second optical fiber sensing element 41 and the plane where the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2 is located is β, which satisfies: 180°>β≥90°; β can be 145°, 130°, 125°, 110°, 105°, 90°, etc. This structure can slightly delay the sensing of the primer foil by the second coating detection mechanism 4 relative to the first coating detection mechanism 3 by installing it at an angle greater than or equal to a right angle, which can avoid the first optical fiber sensing element 31 from stopping the coating operation too early when it senses the missed coating, thereby reducing the phenomenon of abnormal coating size caused by jumping during the coating process; and further ensuring the size of the coating process, reducing the number of defective scrap foils, and improving the coating efficiency.
[0036] Specifically, in some embodiments, the frame 1 is provided with a straight support rod 11; the support rod 11 is arranged parallel to the plane in which the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2 is located; and the detection end (first mounting base 32) of the anti-skip coating detection mechanism 3 is connected to the support rod 11; the detection end (second mounting base 42) of the coating detection mechanism 4 is connected to the support rod 11. A first optical fiber sensor 31 is disposed on the support rod 11; a second optical fiber sensor 41 is disposed on the support rod 11; and the assembly gap 7 is formed between the first optical fiber sensor 31, the support rod 11, and the second optical fiber sensor 41. That is, the first optical fiber sensor 31 and the second optical fiber sensor 41 are assembled on the same horizontal line, which allows for detection of the coating status at different positions, thereby accelerating the detection speed and reducing the phenomenon of abnormal coating dimensions caused by skipping during the coating process; thus ensuring the dimensions of the coating process, reducing the number of defective and scrapped foils, and improving coating efficiency.
[0037] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the length of the assembly gap 7 is L, and L satisfies: L≥100mm. This structure, through the first fiber optic sensor 31 and the second fiber optic sensor 41 at a suitable large gap position, can avoid the overlap of detection, thereby enabling detection of the coating status at different positions, thus ensuring the dimensions of the coating process, reducing the number of defective and scrapped foils, and improving coating efficiency.
[0038] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 and 5 As shown, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveying roller 21 and a second conveying roller 22; the first conveying roller 21 is rotatably connected to the frame 1; the second conveying roller 22 is rotatably connected to the frame 1; and the detection end of the anti-skip coating detection mechanism 3 is located between the first conveying roller 21 and the second conveying roller 22; the detection end of the coating detection mechanism 4 is located between the first conveying roller 21 and the second conveying roller 22.
[0039] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1As shown, the rack 1 is provided with a controller 5, and the anti-jumping coating detection mechanism 3 (with a first optical fiber sensing part 31) and the coating detection mechanism 4 (with a second optical fiber sensing part 41) are electrically connected with the controller 5. The controller 5 is a PLC controller (programmable logic controller), and an interlocking program is written in the PLC controller, a trigger signal is provided by the first optical fiber sensing part 31 (anti-jumping coating optical fiber), and an end signal is provided by the first optical fiber sensing part 31 and the second optical fiber sensing part 41 simultaneously. That is, when the first optical fiber sensing part 31 and the second optical fiber sensing part 41 simultaneously sense the bottom of the coating head, the equipment starts coating, when one of the first optical fiber sensing part 31 and the second optical fiber sensing part 41 senses a missing foil, the equipment does not jump coating to cause an abnormality, and when the first optical fiber sensing part 31 and the second optical fiber sensing part 41 simultaneously sense a light foil or a ceramic, the equipment stops coating to form a required process gap.
