That is, the main body includes a positive current collector body and a negative current collector body, and the tabs include positive tabs and negative tabs. The material of the separator film can be PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene), etc. In addition, the cell unit can be a winding type structure or a laminated type structure, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0108] The bare cell detection equipment includes a main body detection device, a tab detection device, and a conveying and carrying device. The main body detection device is configured to capture a top surface of the main body, a bottom surface of the main body, and a side surface of the main body to obtain a main body top surface image, a main body bottom surface image, and a main body side surface image.

The conveying and carrying device is configured to drive the bare cell 900 to pass through the main body detection device and the tab detection device, respectively.
[0109] It can be understood that the bare cell 900 located at the previous sequence station is moved to the tab misalignment detection mechanism 200, the tab surface detection mechanism, and the main body detection device by the conveying and carrying device to capture the top surface, the side surface, and the end surface of the tab and the top surface, the bottom surface, and the side surface of the main body, thereby obtaining the corresponding tab misalignment image, the tab side surface image, and the tab end surface image, the main body top surface image, the main body bottom surface image, and the main body side surface image. The host computer is used for identification and analysis, so that the detection result of the bare cell 900 can be generated, the main body and the tab of the bare cell 900 are comprehensively detected in an automatic manner, subjective judgment errors and fatigue factors that may occur in manual detection are reduced, the detection efficiency is improved, the accuracy of the detection result is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
[0110] It should be noted that the host computer can be a device including a processor and a memory storing computer program instructions. The computer program instructions can be a neural network model for identifying images or instructions for performing logical operations on image data. The processor can include a central processing unit or a specific integrated circuit or one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the embodiments of the present application. The memory can include a large-capacity memory for information or instructions. Alternatively, the memory can be internal or external to the host computer.

[0111] According to the bare cell detection equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application, the main body detection device, the tab detection device, and the conveying and carrying device are provided, the main body and the tab of the bare cell 900 are comprehensively detected in an automatic manner, subjective judgment errors and fatigue factors that may occur in manual detection are reduced, the detection efficiency is improved, the accuracy of the detection result is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
[0112] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the bare cell detection device has multiple detection stations, the conveying and carrying device includes a conveying mechanism 400 and a carrying mechanism 500, and at least part of the multiple detection stations is located on the conveying mechanism 400; the carrying mechanism 500 forms a clamping space for clamping the bare cell 900, and is used to drive the bare cell 900 to approach or move away from at least part of the multiple detection stations. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the detection stations can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0113] It can be understood that the main body detection device, the tab misalignment detection mechanism 200 and the tab surface detection mechanism are respectively arranged on different detection stations, and at least part of the detection stations is located on the conveying mechanism 400, so that the detection can be more efficient, and the carrying mechanism 500 is used to clamp the bare cell 900 to move from the previous process to the detection station not arranged on the conveying mechanism 400, and to the detection station on the conveying mechanism 400, and to move the detected bare cell 900 to the subsequent process, realizing the full automation of the bare cell 900 detection and minimizing the manual operation.
[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The conveying mechanism 400 includes a conveying rack 410, a circulating conveying line and multiple carriers 450, the circulating conveying line is installed on the conveying rack 410, and the circulating conveying line is connected at its head and tail, the carrier 450 is movably arranged on the circulating conveying line, and the carrier 450 is used to carry the bare cell 900. That is, by arranging the circulating conveying line and cooperating with the multiple carriers 450, a circulating conveying of the carrier 450 and a full and efficient detection mode of the bare cell 900 are formed, the flexibility and efficiency of the whole conveying process are increased, and the automation degree is improved.
[0115] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The circulating conveying line includes an upper conveying line, a lower conveying line and two lifting structures 440, the upper conveying line and the lower conveying line are arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the conveying direction of the lower conveying line is opposite to that of the upper conveying line; the two lifting structures 440 are respectively located on both sides of the lower conveying line, the fixed end of the lifting structure 440 is arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the movable end of the lifting structure 440 is selectively connected with one of the lower conveying line or the upper conveying line; the carrier 450 is movably arranged on one of the lower conveying line, the upper conveying line and the lifting structure 440. It should be noted that the conveying mechanism has a double-layer structure, that is, the upper conveying line is located on the upper layer of the rack, and the lower conveying line is located on the lower layer of the rack.
[0116] It can be understood that the upper conveying line is located on the upper layer of the lower conveying line, at least part of the plurality of detection stations is located on the upper conveying line, the carrying mechanism 500 drives the bare battery cell 900 to approach or move away from the detection station located at the end of the upper conveying line, and the conveying directions of the lower conveying line and the upper conveying line are opposite, and in addition, the two lifting structures 440 are respectively located on both sides of the lower conveying line and can be respectively connected with the upper conveying line or the lower conveying line, thereby forming a circulating conveying of the carrier 450 and a full and efficient detection mode of the bare battery cell 900, increasing the flexibility and efficiency of the whole conveying process, and improving the automation degree. At the same time, the upper conveying line and the lower conveying line ingeniously utilize the vertical space, thereby improving the rapid transfer and shunting of the carrier 450 without increasing the floor area, reducing the waiting time and transfer times of the bare battery cell 900 in the detection process, and improving the production efficiency.
[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the conveying directions of the upper conveying line and the lower conveying line are parallel to the width direction of the bare battery cell 900 located on the carrier 450, so as to further reduce the floor area and make the conveying mechanism 400 more compact.
[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the upper conveying line comprises an upper support 421, a coupling member 423 and a conveying driving member 424, the upper support 421 is arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the upper support 421 is provided with a first sliding rail 422 which is in sliding fit with the carrier 450; the coupling member 423 is detachably connected with the carrier 450 and is adapted to drive all the carriers 450 located on the first sliding rail 422 and the carrier 450 arranged on the lifting structure 440 to move synchronously; and the fixed end of the conveying driving member 424 is arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the driving end of the conveying driving member 424 is connected with the coupling member 423, so as to drive the coupling member 423 to reciprocate along the extension direction of the first sliding rail 422.
[0119] It can be understood that the carrier 450 can drive the bare battery cell 900 to slide on the first sliding rail 422, so as to realize switching among different detection stations. The coupling member 423 is connected with all the carriers 450 located on the first sliding rail 422 and the carrier 450 connected with the upper conveying line on the lifting structure 440, so as to ensure that the plurality of bare battery cells 900 can be simultaneously and synchronously detected in different detection stations while reducing the interference between the bare battery cells 900, and ensure the coordination and consistency of the carrier 450 in the conveying process, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the detection and the conveying efficiency.
[0120] In addition, when the lifting structure 440 at the first end is connected to the upper conveyor line, the connecting member 423 connects the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422 and the carrier 450 on the lifting structure 440. Thus, the carrier 450 on the lifting structure 440 is transferred to the first slide rail 422 by the conveying drive member 424, so that the bare battery cells 900 on the carrier 450 pass through each inspection station one by one. When the lifting structure 440 at the second end is connected to the upper conveyor line, the connecting member 423 connects the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422. Thus, the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422 is transferred to the lifting structure 440 by the conveying drive member 424. Since the bare battery cells 900 on the carrier 450 have been inspected, the transport mechanism 500 can grab the bare battery cells 900 and transfer them to the subsequent station. The lifting structure 440 drives the carrier 450 to move downward until it is connected to the lower conveyor line.
[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a conveying slider 460 is provided at the bottom of the carrier 450. The conveying slider 460 slides in cooperation with the first slide rail 422, thereby driving the carrier 450 to move on the first slide rail 422. Exemplarily, the conveying drive component 424 includes, but is not limited to, a ball screw direct-drive mechanism, which achieves linear motion by means of a servo motor, a ball screw and a cooperating linear guide rail. This is a common technical means used by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a first limiting member 425 is provided on the carrier 450, and the upper conveyor line also includes multiple second limiting members and a positioning drive member. The second limiting member is provided on the connecting member 423; the fixed end of the positioning drive member is provided on the driving end of the conveying drive member 424, and the driving end of the positioning drive member is connected to the connecting member 423, which is used to drive the connecting member 423 to move in the up and down direction so that the first limiting member 425 and the second limiting member abut or disengage.
[0123] It is understandable that by using the cooperation of the first limiting member 425 and the second limiting member, and by driving the connecting member 423 to move up and down through the positioning drive member, the first limiting member 425 of the carrier 450 cooperates with different second limiting members during the movement, thereby achieving precise positioning and release of the carrier 450, ensuring the precise alignment of the bare cell 900 during the testing process, and improving the automation, efficiency and safety of the testing process.
[0124] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting member includes two spaced rollers 4261, which are disposed on the connecting member 423. The two rollers 4261 are adapted to roll into contact with the two sides of the first limiting member 425 that are disposed opposite to each other along the extension direction of the first slide rail 422.
[0125] It can be understood that the two rollers 4261 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first slide rail 422, and the rollers 4261 are located on the side of the coupling member 423 close to the upper layer support 421. By rolling cooperation of the rollers 4261 with the two side surfaces of the first limiting member 425, not only can the stable guidance and positioning of the carrier 450 on the first slide rail 422 be realized, but also the rolling friction is used to replace the sliding friction, so as to reduce the possibility of wear and jamming, and improve the smoothness and reliability of the use of the upper layer conveying line.
[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the lower layer conveying line includes a lower layer support 431, a conveyor belt assembly 433 and a plurality of spaced-apart poking members 434. The lower layer support 431 is arranged on the conveying rack 410, and the second slide rail 432 which is in sliding cooperation with the carrier 450 is arranged on the lower layer support 431. The conveyor belt assembly 433 is arranged on the conveying rack 410 and located on one side of the lower layer support 431. The conveyor belt assembly 433 includes a conveyor belt and a conveyor belt driving member for driving the movement of the conveyor belt. The length direction of the conveyor belt is parallel to the extension direction of the second slide rail 432, and the two ends of the conveyor belt along the length direction protrude from the two ends of the second slide rail 432.

[0127] It can be understood that the second slide rail 432 is located directly below the first slide rail 422, and the extension direction of the second slide rail 432 is parallel to the extension direction of the first slide rail 422.

The jacking drive comprises but is not limited to a linear cylinder. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the buffer positioning member 435 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0129] It can be understood that the buffer positioning member 435 is arranged on the side of the lower support 431 away from the conveying belt, and close to the end of the lower support 431. When the lifting structure 440 close to the downstream of the conveying belt and the upper conveying line are connected, the buffer portion is moved upward by the jacking drive and abuts with the carrier 450, thereby triggering the conveying belt to pause until the lifting structure and the upper conveying line are disconnected and connected with the lower conveying line. The buffer portion is moved downward by the jacking drive and is disengaged from the carrier 450, and the conveying belt is restarted, so as to smoothly dock the carrier 450 with the lifting structure 440, thereby providing additional safety protection, reducing downtime caused by adjusting the position of the carrier 450, and improving the operation efficiency of the entire detection equipment.

[0173] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 to 9 The first limiting member 531 is provided with two and corresponds to the claw connecting member 522 one by one, and the first limiting member 531 is located above the second limiting member 532; the second limiting member 532 includes a first connecting segment 5321, a second connecting segment 5322 and a third connecting segment 5323, one end of the first connecting segment 5321 is arranged on the claw connecting member 522 and extends along the length direction of the bare battery cell 900; one end of the second connecting segment 5322 is connected with the other end of the first connecting segment 5321 and extends along the up-down direction; one end of the third connecting segment 5323 is connected with the other end of the second connecting segment 5322 and extends along the width direction of the bare battery cell 900, for spacing from the end of the bare battery cell 900.
[0174] It can be understood that the two first limiting members 531 are respectively arranged on the two claw connecting members 522 and are located above the second limiting member 532, thereby avoiding interfering with the process of the bare battery cell 900 entering the clamping space. Meanwhile, the first connecting segment 5321, the second connecting segment 5322 and the third connecting segment 5323 connected in turn from top to bottom form the second limiting member 532, and the third connecting segment 5323 can be spaced from the outer end of the tab, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the bare battery cell 900 due to operation errors and improving the safety of the bare battery cell 900.
[0175] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 The limiting assembly further includes a second sensing member 533 and two second proximity sensors 534, the second sensing member 533 is arranged on the side of the cooperating member 5122 away from the driver 5123; the second proximity sensor 534 is arranged on the connecting seat 5121, and the two second proximity sensors 534 are respectively close to the two ends of the through slot 51211. Exemplarily, the second proximity sensor 534 can be an electromagnetic, photoelectric, ultrasonic or other type of sensor, which can sense the presence of the second sensing member 533 and send a position signal to the upper computer.
[0176] It can be understood that the current position of the cooperating member 5122 is detected by the second proximity sensor 534, so as to determine whether the movement of the claw assembly 520 along the width direction of the bare battery cell 900 reaches the maximum, which helps to avoid the collision between the bare battery cell 900 and other components, ensures the stability and safety of the bare battery cell 900 during the conveying process, and improves the production efficiency and the convenience of operation.
[0177] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the plurality of detection stations includes a first detection station and a second detection station, the first detection station is located on the upper conveying line, and the second detection station is located outside the upper conveying line and close to the end of the upper conveying line. The main body detection device includes a first main body detection mechanism 110a, a moving mechanism 120, a second main body detection mechanism 110b, and a third main body detection mechanism. The first main body detection mechanism 110a is located at the first detection station and is used to obtain a top surface image of the main body. The fixed end of the moving mechanism 120 is arranged on the conveying frame 410 of the conveying mechanism 400, and the output end of the moving mechanism 120 is connected to the first main body detection mechanism 110a and is used to drive the first main body detection mechanism 110a to move vertically along the conveying direction of the upper conveying line. The second main body detection mechanism 110b is arranged on the conveying frame 410 and located at the second detection station, and is used to obtain a bottom surface image of the main body. The third main body detection mechanism is arranged on the conveying frame 410 and located at the second detection station, and is used to obtain a side surface image of the main body. The carrying mechanism 500 is used to drive the bare battery cell 900 to move close to or away from the end of the upper conveying line.
[0178] It can be understood that when the carrying mechanism 500 clamps the bare battery cell 900 to move close to the end of the upper conveying line, the second main body detection mechanism 110b and the third main body detection mechanism are used to obtain the bottom surface image and the side surface image of the main body, respectively. Then, the carrying mechanism 500 transfers the bare battery cell 900 to the carrier 450, and the moving mechanism 120 drives the first main body detection mechanism 110a to move along the conveying direction, and the first main body detection mechanism 110a obtains the top surface image of the main body. Exemplarily, the moving mechanism 120 includes but is not limited to a lead screw module.
[0179] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the first main body detection mechanism 110a and the second main body detection mechanism 110b each include a detection frame 111, a first light source 112, two second light sources 113, and a first camera assembly 114. The detection frame 111 has a plurality of first mounting positions, a plurality of second mounting positions, and a plurality of third mounting positions. The first light source 112 is mounted at one of the plurality of first mounting positions. The two second light sources 113 are mounted at two of the plurality of second mounting positions, and the light emitted by the first light source 112 and the two second light sources 113 respectively converges on a straight line. The first camera assembly 114 is mounted at one of the plurality of third mounting positions, and the first light source 112 is located between the first camera assembly 114 and the main body.
[0180] The first light source 112 is adjustably arranged on the detection rack 111; the second light source 113 is adjustably arranged on the detection rack 111 and located on the same side of the main body as the first light source 112 along the up-down direction, and the first light source 112 is located between the two second light sources 113, so that the light emitted by the first light source 112 and the two second light sources 113 converges on a straight line; and the first camera assembly 114 is adjustably arranged on the detection rack 111.
[0181] It can be understood that the detection rack 111 serves to fix the first light source 112, the second light source 113 and the first camera assembly 114, and the first light source 112 and the second light source 113 are adjustably arranged on the detection rack 111, so as to adapt to the illumination range required for detecting the bare battery cell 900 of different sizes, and the first light source 112 and the second light source 113 are located on the same side of the main body and all the light converges on a straight line, which can provide more uniform illumination, reduce shadow and highlight area, and as far as possible to show the small defects such as scratches or dents on the surface of the bare battery cell 900, so that the features in the image obtained by the first camera assembly 114 (including at least one of the top surface image and the bottom surface image of the main body) are more obvious, and the detection efficiency, detection accuracy and automation level are improved.
[0182] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The first body detection mechanism 110a and the second body detection mechanism 110b each further include a first supporting plate and at least one first fixing member 115, the first light source 112 is arranged on the first supporting plate, one of the detection rack 111 and the first supporting plate forms at least one first sliding groove 1111, the first sliding groove 1111 extends along the up-down direction, and the other of the detection rack 111 and the first supporting plate forms a plurality of first mounting holes; each first sliding groove 1111 corresponds to at least one first fixing member 115, one end of the first fixing member 115 passes through the corresponding first sliding groove 1111 and is threadedly connected with the first mounting hole. Exemplarily, the first fixing member 115 includes but is not limited to a screw.
[0183] It can be understood that by matching different first mounting holes and first sliding grooves 1111, the height of the first light source 112 is adjusted to adapt to the detection requirements of bare battery cells 900 of different sizes, and the response speed and operation efficiency of the first body detection mechanism 110a and the second body detection mechanism 110b are improved. It should be noted that the number and size of the first sliding grooves 1111 and the first mounting holes can be designed according to actual requirements, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0184] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the first mounting hole is arranged on the first supporting plate, the first sliding slot 1111 is arranged on the detection rack 111, and two first sliding slots 1111 are arranged on the two sides of the detection rack 111 respectively.

[0186] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the detection rack 111 forms the second sliding slot 1112 and the third sliding slot 1113 arranged at intervals, the extension directions of the second sliding slot 1112 and the third sliding slot 1113 are parallel, and the extension direction of the second sliding slot 1112 is arranged at an acute angle with the up-down direction; the first main body detection mechanism 110a and the second main body detection mechanism 110b each further include a first rotating shaft 1131, a first positioning piece 116, and a plurality of second fixing pieces 117, one end of the first rotating shaft 1131 is connected with the second light source 113, the other end of the first rotating shaft 1131 is slidingly connected with the second sliding slot 1112; the first positioning piece 116 is sleeved outside the first rotating shaft 1131 and forms a plurality of second mounting holes; the third sliding slot 1113 corresponds to at least one second fixing piece 117, one end of the second fixing piece 117 passes through the corresponding third sliding slot 1113 and is connected with the second mounting hole.
[0187] It can be understood that the second sliding slot 1112 and the third sliding slot 1113 are respectively arranged at an acute angle with the up-down direction, so that the second light source 113 can be adjusted in multiple directions in the smallest possible space, and since the second light source 113 is slidingly connected with the second sliding slot 1112 through the first rotating shaft 1131, the angle of the second light source 113 can be adjusted, and the second fixing piece 117 is connected with the second light source 113 by passing through the third sliding slot 1113 and the second mounting hole in turn, so as to fix the current pose of the second light source 113, thereby providing a flexible, stable and easy-to-maintain adjustment mode of the second light source 113, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of the main body detection.
[0188] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the two sides of each second light source 113 arranged oppositely are provided with the first rotating shaft 1131, the first positioning piece 116, the second sliding slot 1112 and the first rotating shaft 1131 correspond one by one, and two third sliding slots 1113 are arranged on the two sides of each second sliding slot 1112, so as to ensure that the second light source 113 can stably maintain the current pose after adjustment.
[0189] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the first positioning member 116 is provided with a circumferential scale line near the surface of the second sliding groove 1112, so as to facilitate the rapid and accurate adjustment of the angle of the second light source 113, realize the standardized detection process, and improve the detection efficiency and the convenience of operation.
[0190] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the detection rack 111 is provided with a second scale line near the surface of the third sliding groove 1113, and the extension direction of the second scale line is parallel to the extension direction of the third sliding groove 1113, so as to facilitate the rapid and accurate adjustment of the vertical position and the horizontal position of the second light source 113, realize the standardized detection process, and improve the detection efficiency and the convenience of operation.
[0191] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 , the detection rack 111 forms a fourth sliding groove 1114 corresponding to the first positioning member 116, the extension direction of the fourth sliding groove 1114 is parallel to the extension direction of the second sliding groove 1112, the second sliding groove 1112 and the third sliding groove 1113 are both arranged on the groove bottom of the fourth sliding groove 1114, and the outer wall of the first positioning member 116 is attached to the inner wall of the fourth sliding groove 1114.
[0192] It can be understood that the detection rack 111 includes two oppositely arranged side plates, the second light source 113 is located between the two side plates, and the side of the two side plates close to each other forms the fourth sliding groove 1114 for accommodating part of the first positioning member 116, so as to ensure that the first positioning member 116 can smoothly slide in the fourth sliding groove 1114 during the adjustment of the second light source 113, and realize the stability of the second light source 113 during the adjustment.
[0193] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the first main body detection mechanism 110a and the second main body detection mechanism 110b each further include a second supporting plate and at least one third fixing member, the first camera assembly 114 is arranged on the second supporting plate, one of the detection rack 111 and the second supporting plate forms at least one fifth sliding groove 1115, the fifth sliding groove 1115 extends in the up-down direction, and the other of the detection rack 111 and the second supporting plate forms a plurality of third mounting holes; each fifth sliding groove 1115 corresponds to at least one third fixing member, one end of the third fixing member is threadedly connected with the third mounting hole through the corresponding fifth sliding groove 1115. Exemplarily, the first camera assembly 114 includes but is not limited to a camera and a lens.
[0194] It can be understood that by matching the different third mounting holes and the fifth sliding grooves 1115, the height of the first camera assembly 114 is adjustable to adapt to the detection needs of different sizes of bare cells 900, thereby improving the response speed and operation efficiency of the first body detection mechanism 110a and the second body detection mechanism 110b respectively. It should be noted that the number and size of the fifth sliding grooves 1115 and the third mounting holes can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0195] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the third mounting holes are arranged on the second supporting plate, and the fifth sliding grooves 1115 are arranged on the detection rack 111, and two fifth sliding grooves 1115 are arranged on each side of the detection rack 111.
[0196] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the detection rack 111 is provided with a third scale line, and the third scale line is close to the fifth sliding grooves 1115 and extends in the up-down direction, so as to accurately and quickly adjust the vertical position of the first camera assembly 114, realize the standardized detection process, and improve the detection efficiency and the operation convenience.
[0197] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 , the first body detection mechanism 110a and the second body detection mechanism 110b each further include a protective cover 118, and the protective cover 118 is arranged on the detection rack 111. In the projection in the up-down direction, the projection of the protective cover 118 and the projection of the detection rack 111 jointly form a closed structure, and the projection of the first light source 112, the projection of the second light source 113 and the projection of the first camera assembly 114 are located within the closed structure.
[0198] It can be understood that the projection of the protective cover 118 and the projection of the detection rack 111 jointly form a closed structure, which means that the protective cover 118 completely covers the detection rack 111, forming a sealed space, thereby protecting the first camera assembly 114, the first light source 112 and the second light source 113, and reducing the possibility of accidental touching or operation.
[0199] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 , the first body detection mechanism 110a and the second body detection mechanism 110b each further include a dust removal structure 119, and the dust removal structure 119 is arranged on the detection rack 111, thereby reducing the pollution of dust and particulate matter to the first light source 112, the second light source 113 and the first camera assembly 114, and avoiding the influence of these pollutants on the image quality and the detection result. Exemplarily, the dust removal structure 119 includes but is not limited to a filtering unit, a flow guide plate, a dust removal element and a dust removal element, etc., and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0200] In some embodiments, the first light source 112 is a coaxial light source, and the second light source 113 is a strip light source.
[0201] It can be understood that the coaxial light source emits light rays coinciding with the lens axis of the first camera assembly 114, which is used to illuminate the surface of the object being photographed to reduce shadows and reflections, and reduce glare caused by direct reflection of light rays to the camera lens. In combination with the strip light source, a wider illumination area can be provided, which can significantly improve image quality and thus improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection result.
[0202] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The third body detection mechanism includes two oppositely arranged third camera assemblies 131, and the second body detection mechanism is located between the two third camera assemblies 131, and the two third camera assemblies 131 are respectively used to photograph the two sides of the body along the width direction to obtain body side images. Exemplarily, the third camera assembly 131 includes a camera and a lens.
[0203] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The plurality of detection stations further includes a third detection station and a fourth detection station, the third detection station is located on the upper conveying line, the fourth detection station is located outside the upper conveying line and on the side of the second detection station away from the upper conveying line, the tab misalignment detection mechanism 200 is located in the fourth detection station, and the tab surface detection mechanism is arranged on the conveying rack 410 and located in the third detection station.
[0204] It can be understood that the third detection station is located on the upper conveying line, so that the bare battery cell 900 can be directly detected during the conveying process, thereby improving the detection efficiency and continuity. That is, the bare battery cell 900 is clamped by the carrying mechanism 500 to pass through the second detection station and the fourth detection station in turn to obtain the tab misalignment image, the body bottom surface image and the body side image, and then the carrying mechanism 500 transfers the bare battery cell 900 to the carrier 450 to make the bare battery cell 900 pass through the first detection station and the third detection station in turn to obtain the body top surface image, the tab side surface image and the tab end surface image.
[0205] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12As shown, the second two-dimensional code is arranged on the bare battery cell 900, and the tab misalignment detection mechanism 200 includes a jig 210, a second camera assembly 220, a third light source, and a second code scanner 230. The jig 210 is used to carry the bare battery cell 900. The second camera assembly 220 is arranged above the jig 210. The third light source is arranged on the jig 210 and below the tab. The second code scanner 230 is arranged above the jig 210 and is used to scan and identify the second two-dimensional code of the bare battery cell 900 placed in the jig 210.
[0206] It can be understood that the conveying mechanism 500 places the bare battery cell 900 on the jig 210, and the third light source is arranged on the jig 210 and below the tab, thereby providing backlight for the tab and enhancing the contrast of the tab profile, making the judgment of whether the tab is misaligned more accurate. At the same time, the second code scanner 230 scans the second two-dimensional code on the bare battery cell 900, which can automatically collect information of the bare battery cell 900, thereby enhancing the quality control and traceability of the product and improving the detection efficiency.
[0207] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the length direction of the bare battery cell 900 on the jig 210 is parallel to the length direction of the bare battery cell on the carrier 450, so as to further reduce the floor space of the entire bare battery cell detection device and make the entire bare battery cell detection device as compact as possible.
[0208] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the tab surface detection mechanism includes two tab side surface detection structures 310 and two tab end surface detection structures 320. The two tab side surface detection structures 310 are oppositely arranged and are used to respectively capture two side surfaces of the tab along the width direction of the bare battery cell 900. The two tab end surface detection structures 320 are oppositely arranged and are used to capture the end surface of the tab away from the main body.
[0209] It can be understood that the third detection station has three, and the three third detection stations are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the upper conveying line. The two tab side surface detection structures 310 are respectively located in two of the third detection stations, and the two tab end surface detection structures 320 are respectively located on both sides of the other detection station. That is, the carrier 450 passes through the two detection stations in turn, so as to obtain the tab side surface images corresponding to the two opposite side surfaces of the tab on both sides of the main body. The carrier 450 passes through the other detection station, so as to obtain the tab end surface images corresponding to the end surfaces of the tab away from the main body on both sides of the main body. Thus, a high-efficiency, comprehensive and automatic detection mode is realized, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the detection process.
[0210] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the body is provided with a tab on each side along the length direction, i.e. two tab end face detection structures 320 are needed. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and specific distribution of the tab end face structures can be adjusted according to the arrangement mode of the tabs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
[0211] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the tab side face detection structure 310 includes a mounting frame 311 and two oppositely arranged first imaging assemblies 312, the mounting frame 311 is arranged on the conveyor frame 410; the first imaging assembly 312 is arranged on the mounting frame 311, and the installation position along the length direction of the bare cell 900 is adjustable.
[0212] It can be understood that the mounting frame 311 is arranged on the conveyor frame 410 and provides stable support for the first imaging assembly 312. The installation position of the first imaging assembly 312 along the length direction of the bare cell 900 can be adjusted to adapt to bare cells 900 of different lengths, and to ensure that the first imaging assembly 312 can correctly align the side of the tab for shooting.
[0213] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14 , the first imaging assembly 312 includes a first connecting piece 3121, a prism 3122, a first imaging unit 3123, and two fourth light sources 3124 respectively located on both sides of the bare cell 900 along the up-down direction, the first connecting piece 3121 is adjustably arranged on the mounting frame 311 along the length direction of the bare cell 900; the prism 3122 is arranged on the first connecting piece 3121, and the installation position of the prism 3122 along the width direction of the bare cell 900 is adjustable, and the angle between the prism 3122 and the bare cell 900 is adjustable; the first imaging unit 3123 is adjustably arranged on the mounting frame 311; the two fourth light sources 3124 are arranged on the mounting frame 311 and the first connecting piece 3121 respectively, and the installation position and the angle position of the fourth light source 3124 are adjustable. Exemplarily, the first imaging unit 3123 includes but is not limited to a camera and a lens.
[0214] It can be understood that the fourth light source 3124 illuminates the tab, and the image of the tab is projected to the first imaging unit 3123 through the prism 3122 to obtain the tab side face image. At the same time, the installation positions of the first connecting piece 3121, the prism 3122, the fourth light source 3124 and the first imaging unit 3123 are adjustable, and the angle of the prism 3122 and the fourth light source 3124 is adjustable, providing flexible light reflection and adjustment capability to adapt to different detection angle requirements while improving the imaging quality.
[0215] It should be noted that the adjustable mounting positions of the first connector 3121, prism 3122, fourth light source 3124, and first imaging unit 3123 can be achieved by using a similar elongated groove and different mounting holes as described above; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. Similarly, the adjustable angles of the prism 3122 and the fourth light source 3124 can also be achieved by using a rotating base and a locking component; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this either.
[0216] Similarly, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, length scale lines are set on the slide groove, and circumferential scale lines are set on the rotating base to meet the high requirements for accuracy and flexibility in the testing process of bare cells of different sizes.
[0217] In some embodiments, one of the two fourth light sources 3124 is a strip light source and the other is a ring light source, which can provide illumination from different angles and directions to ensure that the sides of the electrode are adequately illuminated, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
[0218] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the tab end face detection structure 320 includes a fixing frame 321 and two second imaging components spaced apart along the vertical direction. The second imaging components are arbitrarily positioned on the fixing frame 321, thereby providing flexible and accurate detection capabilities to meet the high requirements of bare cell 900 tab end face detection, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
[0219] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the second imaging assembly includes a second connector 3221, a second imaging unit 3222, and a fifth light source 3223. The second connector 3221 is height-adjustable and adjustable along the length of the bare battery cell 900, mounted on the mounting bracket 321. The second imaging unit 3222 is angle-adjustable mounted on the second connector 3221. The fifth light source 3223 is angle-adjustable mounted on the connector and located on the side of the second imaging unit 3222 closer to the bare battery cell 900. Exemplarily, the second imaging unit 3222 includes, but is not limited to, a camera and a lens.
[0220] Understandably, the fifth light source 3223 illuminates the tab and obtains an image of the tab end face through the second imaging unit 3222. Simultaneously, the height of the second connector 3221 and its length along the bare cell 900 are adjustable, and the angles of the fifth light source 3223 and the second imaging unit 3222 are adjustable, providing flexible light reflection and adjustment capabilities to adapt to different detection angle requirements while improving imaging quality.
[0221] It should be noted that the height of the second connecting piece 3221 is adjustable and the position along the length direction of the bare battery cell 900 is adjustable, which can be achieved by using a long slot and different mounting holes as described above, and the embodiment does not make specific limitations on this. Similarly, the angle-adjustable mode of the second imaging unit 3222 and the fifth light source 3223 can also be achieved by using a rotating base and a locking piece, and the embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.
[0222] Similarly, as shown in the drawings, Figure 15 a length scale is arranged on the slot, and a circumferential scale is arranged on the rotating base to meet the high requirements for accuracy and flexibility in the detection process of bare battery cells 900 of different sizes.
