[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority from a Chinese patent application filed on June 12, 2023, bearing application number No. 202310693554.3, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of non-destructive detection, and in particular to a detection device and a detection method for battery core detection. [Background technology]

[0003] As the demand for lithium batteries continues to grow, the market is placing increasingly higher demands on the quality of lithium batteries, and currently the consistency requirements for lithium batteries, especially power batteries, are becoming increasingly stringent.One related technology uses traditional industrial CT solutions, where detectors and optical machines scan the battery core in a static state, and the requirements for the position accuracy and angle deformation of the battery core angle to be detected are high.During the detection process, due to the influence of objective factors such as the position of the battery core and the angle deformation of the battery core, it is difficult to improve the detection quality, and the error rate is too high. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present disclosure provides a detection method for detecting a battery core using the above detection device.

[0006] According to a detection device according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure, the detection device includes a support mechanism, a rotation mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a movement mechanism, and a detection mechanism. The rotation mechanism is provided on the support mechanism and includes a rotation stand provided on the support mechanism and a turntable that rotates circumferentially relative to the rotation stand.

The detection mechanism is rotatable in a circumferential direction on the rotation mechanism. The transmission mechanism passes through a rotating disk, and the battery core can pass through the transmission mechanism, thereby achieving continuous detection of the battery core. When the detection mechanism detects the battery core, the specifications of the battery core may differ depending on the product. When detecting battery cores of different specifications, the detection position also differs. By installing a movement mechanism between the rotation mechanism and the support mechanism, the position of the rotation mechanism can be adjusted to accommodate the detection of battery cores of different specifications. When the detection device needs to detect a battery core, the transmission mechanism first transmits the battery core to a detection area, and then the radiation source and detector of the detection mechanism rotate circumferentially on the rotating disk, and then detect the battery core located within the detection area. The detection area is the area between the connecting lines between the radiation source and the detector, and the detection mechanism can detect the battery core in this area. The detection mechanism can detect the battery cores in multiple directions by rotating circumferentially on the turntable, thereby detecting the tab alignment status and tab welding status for each battery core, and the placement position and angle of the battery core on the transmission mechanism are not limited.

[0008] In some embodiments, the rotation mechanism is moved along the first direction and the second direction supported by the moving mechanism, the first direction being parallel to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism and the second direction being perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, a first slide rail is provided on the side of the support mechanism closer to the moving mechanism, and a first slide block is provided on the side of the moving mechanism closer to the support mechanism, and the first slide rail and the first slide block slide together to move the rotation mechanism in a first direction.

[0010] In some embodiments, a second slide rail is provided on the side of the moving mechanism closer to the rotation mechanism, and a second slide block is provided on the side of the rotating mechanism closer to the moving mechanism, and the second slide rail and the second slide block slide together to move the rotating mechanism in a second direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism further includes a plurality of spaced apart positioning modules, which position the transmission mechanism relative to the battery core.

[0012] In some embodiments, the rotation mechanism further includes a position sensor capable of detecting the position of the battery core in the transmission mechanism.

[0013] In some embodiments, the detection device further includes a screening mechanism that transports the battery core to a disposal area if the detection mechanism detects that the battery core is unacceptable.

[0014] According to a detection method for detecting a battery core according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, the detection method detects a battery core by a detection device, and the detection method includes: leaving the battery core on a transmission mechanism; the transmission mechanism transmitting the battery core to a detection area; and the detection mechanism detecting the battery core.

[0015] In some embodiments, when the battery core is left in the transmission mechanism, the battery core is positioned at a predetermined angle of 15°-75°.

[0016] In some embodiments, the method further includes: before the detection mechanism detects the battery core, a turntable rotates the radiation source and the detector at a certain angle to avoid the battery core; the transmission mechanism transmits the battery core to a detection area; the turntable rotates the radiation source and the detector in a circumferential direction to detect the battery core; and the transmission mechanism transmits the battery core out of the detection area.

[0017] Additionally, the screening mechanism transports the battery cores that fail to pass the screening to a disposal area.

[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the present invention.

Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure on a case-by-case basis.

[0024] Hereinafter, a detection device 100 and a detection method for detecting a battery core 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, according to the detection device 100 of the embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure, the detection device 100 includes a support mechanism 10, a rotation mechanism 20, a transmission mechanism 30, a movement mechanism 40, and a detection mechanism 23.

[0026] However, the rotation mechanism 20 is provided on the support mechanism 10, and includes a rotation stand 21 provided on the support mechanism 10 and a turntable 22 that is rotatable in a circumferential direction relative to the rotation stand 21. The transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery core 200 to the detection area, and the transmission mechanism 30 extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23. The moving mechanism 40 is provided between the support mechanism 10 and the rotation mechanism 20, and the rotation mechanism 20 can move relative to the support mechanism 10 with the support of the moving mechanism 40. The detection mechanism 23 is provided on the turntable 22, and includes a radiation source 231 and a detector 232. The radiation source 231 and the detector 232 detect the battery core 200 in the transmission mechanism 30, and the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 rotate in a circumferential direction on the turntable 22.

[0027] Specifically, the rotation mechanism 20 is provided on the support mechanism 10, and the detection mechanism 23 is provided on the rotation mechanism 20. The detection mechanism 23 is circumferentially rotatable on the rotation mechanism 20, the transmission mechanism 30 passes through the turntable 22, and the battery core 200 passes through the turntable 22 on the transmission mechanism 30, thereby enabling continuous detection of the battery core 200. When the detection mechanism 23 detects the battery core 200, the specifications of the battery core 200 may differ depending on the product. When detecting battery cores 200 with different specifications, the detection position also differs. By installing a movement mechanism 40 between the rotation mechanism 20 and the support mechanism 10, the position of the rotation device can be adjusted, thereby enabling adaptation to the detection of battery cores 200 with different specifications. When the detection device 100 needs to detect the battery core 200, the transmission mechanism 30 first transmits the battery core 200 to the detection area, and the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 of the detection mechanism 23 rotate circumferentially on the turntable 22 to detect the battery core 200 located within the detection area, which is the area between the connecting lines of the radiation source 231 and the detector 232, and the detection mechanism 23 can detect the battery core 200 in this area. The detection mechanism 23 rotates circumferentially on the turntable 22 and can detect the battery core 200 in multiple directions, thereby detecting the tab alignment status and tab welding status for each battery core 200, and is not limited to the arrangement position and arrangement angle of the battery core 200 on the transmission mechanism 30.

[0028] As can be seen, the transmission mechanism 30 extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23, which reduces the difficulty of assembling the detection device 100. The extension direction of the transmission mechanism 30 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23, i.e., the transmission mechanism 30 is located on one side of the detection mechanism 23. When assembling the detection device 100, the position of the detection mechanism 23 is first fixed using the support mechanism 10, and then the transmission mechanism 30 is located on one side of the detection mechanism 23. The transmission direction of the transmission mechanism 30 and the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23 are perpendicular to each other. When the transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery core 200, the battery core 200 is always located on one side of the detection mechanism 23 and does not need to pass through the detection mechanism 23, which improves detection efficiency. The transmission mechanism 30 located on one side of the detection mechanism 23 also makes it easy to remove and maintain.

[0029] According to the detection device 100 of the embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure, the detection device 100 can improve detection quality and detection efficiency while reducing the arrangement requirement of the battery core 200.

[0030] Optionally, the detection device 100 further includes a detection control system, the detection control system comprising: The transmission mechanism 30 extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23; When the battery core 200 collides with the rotation mechanism when entering the detection area, the rotation mechanism 20 controls the rotating disk to rotate the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 at a certain angle to avoid the battery core 200; When the battery core 200 collides with the rotation mechanism when entering the detection area, the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 are switched from the detection position to the avoidance position to avoid the battery core 200.

[0031] Furthermore, the rotation mechanism 20 further includes a rotation connector 24 that is provided between the rotation stand 21 and the turntable 22 and reduces the resistance between the rotation stand 21 and the turntable 22 so that the turntable 22 can rotate freely.

[0032] Here, the configuration of the rotary connector 24 is not limited, and the rotary connector 24 may be an assembly of a circular slide rail and a circular slide block, or may be a bearing provided between the rotary stand 21 and the turntable 22.

[0033] When the rotary connector 24 is a circular slide rail and a circular slide block, the circular slide rail is provided on one of the rotating stand 21 and the rotating plate 22, and the circular slide block is provided on the other of the rotating stand 21 and the rotating plate 22, so that the circular slide rail and the circular slide block mesh with each other, allowing the rotating plate 22 to be freely rotated relative to the rotating stand 21.

[0034] Optionally, the rotation mechanism 20 further includes a drive motor fixed on the rotation stand 21, a drive gear provided on the motor shaft of the drive motor, and a driven gear provided on the outside of the turntable 22, and the drive gear and the driven gear mesh with each other. This allows the turntable 22 to rotate in the circumferential direction by the drive of the drive motor, further increasing the detection efficiency of the battery core 200.

[0035] The driven gear may be the entire circumference of the external teeth provided on the outside of the turntable 22, or may be a part of the external teeth provided on the outside of the turntable 22. When the driven gear is the entire circumference of the external teeth provided on the outside of the turntable 22, the turntable 22 can be rotated continuously in the circumferential direction by driving the drive motor, while when the driven gear is a part of the external teeth provided on the outside of the turntable 22, the turntable 22 can be rotated back and forth by a certain angle by driving the drive motor, and this can be selected according to actual needs.

[0036] In some embodiments, the rotation mechanism 20 moves along a first direction and a second direction supported by the movement mechanism 40, the first direction being parallel to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23 and the second direction being perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23.

[0037] Specifically, by installing the moving mechanism 40, the rotation mechanism 20 can be moved in the first and second directions, thereby adjusting the relative position with respect to the transmission mechanism 30. When detecting the battery core 200, since the battery core 200 has different specifications and the detection position of the battery core 200 differs for each specification, the moving mechanism 40 can adjust the detection area of ​​the detection mechanism 23, position the edge corner of the battery core 200 in the detection area, further improving the detection accuracy. Furthermore, when positional interference occurs between the detection mechanism 23 and the battery core 200, the moving mechanism 40 allows the detection mechanism 23 to move away from the battery core 200, thereby improving the safety of detection.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 3 , a first slide rail 41 is provided on the support mechanism 10 on a side closer to the moving mechanism 40, and a first slide block 42 is provided on the moving mechanism 40 on a side closer to the support mechanism 10, with the first slide rail 41 and the first slide block 42 sliding together to move the rotation mechanism 20 in a first direction. A second slide rail 43 is provided on the moving mechanism 40 on a side closer to the rotation mechanism 20, and a second slide block 44 is provided on the rotation mechanism 20 on a side closer to the moving mechanism 40, with the second slide rail 43 and the second slide block 44 sliding together to move the rotation mechanism 20 in a second direction. The cooperation between the first slide rail 41 and the first slide block 42 and the cooperation between the second slide rail 43 and the second slide block 44 makes the movement of the rotation mechanism 20 smoother and reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0039] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 30 extends parallel to the axis of rotation of the detection mechanism 23, or the positioning mechanism extends perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the detection mechanism 23.

[0040] Specifically, when the transmission mechanism 30 extends parallel to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23, the transmission mechanism 30 can pass through the center of the rotation mechanism 20. When the transmission mechanism 30 extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23, the transmission mechanism 30 can transmit the battery cores 200 on one side of the detection mechanism 23, and the battery cores 200 can be driven by the transmission mechanism 30 to operate in stages. A plurality of battery cores 200 to be detected are arranged at intervals on the transmission mechanism 30. After the transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery cores 200 to the detection area, the transmission mechanism 30 stops, and the detection mechanism 23 rotates by driving the turntable 22 to detect the battery cores 200. After the detection is completed, the transmission mechanism 30 moves the battery cores 200 out of the detection area, at which time the next set of battery cores 200 to be detected can move into the detection area for detection.

[0041] This allows the battery core 200 to be detected continuously, further improving the detection efficiency of the battery core 200.

[0042] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 30 further includes a plurality of positioning modules 31 spaced apart, which can position the battery core 200. When the battery core 200 is placed on the transmission mechanism 30, the positioning modules 31 position the battery core 200, ensuring that the detected edge corners of each battery core 200 are all positioned appropriately. When the transmission mechanism 30 moves the battery core 200 into the detection area, it can be ensured that the detection edge corners of each battery core 200 are all positioned in the same position, further improving detection accuracy.

[0043] Optionally, the positioning module 31 includes a first positioning portion 311 and a second positioning portion 312, the first positioning portion 311 and the second positioning portion 312 being perpendicular to each other, and both the first positioning portion 311 and the second positioning portion 312 being fixed to the transmission mechanism 30, a positioning space being formed inside the corner formed by the first positioning portion 311 and the second positioning portion 312, the edge corner of the battery core 200 to be detected being positioned in the positioning space, and two adjacent sides of the battery core 200 abutting against the first positioning portion 311 and the second positioning portion 312 respectively.

[0044] Specifically, when the battery core 200 needs to be detected, the battery core 200 is placed on the transmission mechanism 30, and one edge corner of the battery core 200 is placed in the positioning space, and the two adjacent sides of the edge corner are respectively abutted against the first positioning portion 311 and the second positioning portion 312. At this time, the battery core 200 is fixed to the transmission mechanism 30. This method can position the battery core 200 and ensure the positioning regularity of the battery core 200.

[0045] As a result, when the edge angle of the battery core 200 is subsequently detected by the detection mechanism 23, it can be detected without adjusting the position of the battery core 200, and detection efficiency can be increased while ensuring detection accuracy.

[0046] It should be noted that the connection form between the positioning module 31 and the transmission mechanism 30 is not limited here, and for example, the positioning module 31 can be connected to the transmission mechanism 30 by adhesive bonding, screw fastening, or fastening, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0047] Alternatively, the first positioning portion 311 and the second positioning portion 312 may be grooves or protrusions formed on the transmission mechanism 30, and when the battery core 200 is placed on the transmission mechanism 30, the edge corners of the battery core 200 can be inserted into the grooves or protrusions, thereby fixing the position of the battery core 200.

[0048] Optionally, when the positioning module 31 is fixed to the transmission mechanism 30, it has a predetermined angle which is 0°-75°.

[0049] For example, the predetermined angle may be 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, or 75°, and may be set according to actual needs.

[0050] It should be noted that the number and installation location of the positioning modules 31 in the transmission mechanism 30 are not limited here. For example, the positioning modules 31 may be installed on the center line of the transmission mechanism 30 and spaced apart, or the positioning modules 31 may be installed in parallel on both sides of the center line of the transmission mechanism 30, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0051] As can be seen, the arrangement of the battery core 200 in the transmission mechanism 30 varies depending on the installation mode of the positioning module 31.

[0052] When the positioning modules 31 are arranged at equal intervals on the center line of the transmission mechanism 30, in order to ensure the detection quality of the battery core 200 by the detection mechanism 23, the positioning modules 31 can be arranged at a predetermined angle so that the detection mechanism 23 can detect the edge corner of the battery core 200. The battery core 200 is placed in the positioning space with its edge corner abutting the first positioning portion 311 and the second positioning portion 312, respectively. In this case, multiple battery cores 200 can be placed at equal intervals on the transmission mechanism 30. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, if the predetermined angle of the positioning modules 31 is set to 45°, the battery core 200 is also arranged at a 45° inclination on the transmission mechanism 30. When the transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery core 200 to the detection area, the detection mechanism 23 can detect the edge corner of the battery core 200 in the circumferential direction, further improving the detection accuracy.

[0053] When the positioning modules 31 are installed in parallel on both sides of the center line of the transmission mechanism 30, the positioning modules 31 can be arranged diagonally with a predetermined angle of 0°. In this way, two battery cores 200 can be fixed simultaneously. When a rotation stage is installed in the detection device 100, the rotation stage can be used to install the rotation mechanism 20 at a certain angle so that the detection mechanism 23 and the center of the transmission mechanism 30 form a certain angle. In this case, two battery cores 200 are installed in the transmission mechanism 30, and the two battery cores 200 are installed on both sides of the center line of the transmission mechanism 30 diagonally from head to tail according to the positioning modules 31. The detection mechanism 23 can simultaneously detect the edge angles of the two battery cores 200, further improving detection efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the rotation mechanism 20 further includes a position sensor 25 that detects the position of the battery core 200 in the transmission mechanism 30. The position sensor 25 can detect the position of the battery core 200 in the transmission mechanism 30. The position sensor 25 is signal-connected to the rotation mechanism 20. Before the transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery core 200 and enters the detection area, the position sensor 25 performs detection. If the position sensor 25 detects that the position of the battery core 200 may soon interfere with the detection mechanism 23, it sends an avoidance signal to the rotation mechanism 20, causing the turntable 22 to drive the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 to stop rotating in the circumferential direction and avoid the battery core 200. If the position sensor 25 detects that the position of the battery core 200 will not interfere with the detection mechanism 23 or does not detect the battery core 200, the turntable 22 drives the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 to continue rotating in the circumferential direction.

[0055] This prevents the battery core 200 from colliding with the detection mechanism 23 when the battery core 200 is detected, thereby improving detection safety.

[0056] Here, the type of the position sensor 25 is not limited, and the position sensor 25 may be, for example, an optical position sensor 25, an ultrasonic position sensor 25, a light curtain sensor, or a camera.

[0057] When the position sensor 25 is an optical position sensor 25, a light beam is emitted by the transmitter. If the battery core 200 located in the transmission mechanism 30 interferes with the rotation mechanism 20, the light beam emitted from the transmitter touches the battery core 200 and is then reflected back to the optical position sensor 25. At this time, the sensor can calculate the distance between the rotation mechanism 20 and the battery core 200. If the distance between the two is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the optical position sensor 25 sends an avoidance signal to the rotation mechanism 20, causing the turntable 22 to stop the circumferential rotation of the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 and move away from the battery core 200. If the optical position sensor 25 does not receive a reflected signal, or if it receives a signal and calculates that the distance between the battery core 200 and the rotation mechanism 20 is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the turntable 22 continues to drive the circumferential rotation of the radiation source 231 and the detector 232.

[0058] When the position sensor 25 is a light curtain sensor, the light curtain sensor can be installed upstream of the rotation mechanism 20 and near the transmission mechanism 30, and when the light curtain sensor detects that the light curtain is blocked, it sends an avoidance signal to the rotation mechanism 20, stopping the circumferential rotation of the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 to avoid the battery core 200, and when the light curtain sensor detects that the light curtain is not blocked, the turntable 22 continues to drive the circumferential rotation of the radiation source 231 and the detector 232.

[0059] When the position sensor 25 is a camera, the camera is mounted on the rotating stand 21 and can photograph the battery core 200 located on the transmission mechanism 30. By identifying the position of the battery core 200 in the image, it can determine whether the battery core 200 will interfere with the rotation mechanism 20. When it is determined from the image taken by the camera that the battery core 200 is about to collide with the rotation mechanism 20, the camera sends an avoidance signal to the rotation mechanism 20, and the turntable 22 stops the circumferential rotation of the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 to avoid the battery core 200. When the battery core 200 does not appear in the image taken by the camera, or when it is determined from the image taken by the camera that the battery core 200 will not collide with the rotation mechanism 20, the camera sends a signal to the turntable 22 mechanism, and the turntable 22 continues to drive the circumferential rotation of the radiation source 231 and the detector 232.

[0060] Here, the position of the position sensor 25 in the detection device 100 is not specifically limited, and it is sufficient that the position sensor 25 can detect whether the battery core 200 and the rotation mechanism 20 collide, and it can be installed as needed.

[0061] In some embodiments, the detection apparatus 100 further includes a screening mechanism 50 that transports the battery core 200 to a disposal area when the detection mechanism 23 detects that the battery core 200 is unacceptable.

[0062] Specifically, when the detection mechanism 23 detects that the battery core 200 is unqualified, the screening mechanism 50 transfers the unqualified battery core 200 to a disposal area. After the detection mechanism 23 has finished detecting the battery core 200, if the internal defect condition of the battery core 200 does not meet the requirements, the screening mechanism 50 can screen and transfer the unqualified battery core 200 to a disposal area on the transmission mechanism 30 so that the qualified battery core 200 can proceed to the next process. This can improve the detection efficiency of the detection device 100.

[0063] As can be understood, in the present disclosure, the detection device 100 and the corresponding detection system can perform one-to-one numbering of the battery cores 200 detected by the detection device 100, and when the screening mechanism 50 transports the rejected battery cores 200 to a disposal area, the detection system also deletes the numbers and images corresponding to the rejected battery cores 200.

[0064] That is, the battery core 200 is first transmitted by the transmission mechanism 30 and detected by the detection mechanism 23. If the detection mechanism 23 determines that the battery core 200 is unqualified, the screening mechanism 50 transfers the battery core 200 to a disposal area. At the same time, the number and image corresponding to the unqualified battery core 200 are also deleted from the detection system. If the battery core 200 passes the detection of the detection mechanism 23 and is determined to be acceptable, the acceptable battery core 200 is allowed to proceed to the next process. This reduces the system resource occupation rate and further improves the detection efficiency of the detection device 100.

[0065] According to a detection method for detecting a battery core 200 in an embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, the detection method is applied to any one of the detection devices 100 in the above-mentioned embodiments, and the detection method includes placing the battery core 200 on a transmission mechanism 30, the transmission mechanism 30 transmitting the battery core 200, and the detection mechanism 23 detecting the battery core 200.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the battery core 200 is placed in the transmission mechanism 30, the battery core 200 is placed at a predetermined angle, which may be between 15° and 75°.

[0067] Specifically, if the battery core 200 is left at a predetermined angle, the center line of the battery core 200 and the extension direction of the transmission mechanism 30 can form a certain angle, that is, the battery core 200 is placed diagonally on the transmission mechanism 30, and in this way, when the transmission mechanism 30 moves the battery core 200 to the detection area, the edge corner of the battery core 200 can be positioned in the detection area.

[0068] This makes it possible to improve the detection effect and increase the detection efficiency of the detection device 100.

[0069] For example, the predetermined angle may be 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, or 75°, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 2, a detection method for the battery core 200 is described below with reference to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0071] The battery core 200 is left in the transmission mechanism 30 and positioned at a predetermined angle.

[0072] The rotating disk 22 rotates the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 in the circumferential direction, and at this time, the transmission mechanism 30 extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the detection mechanism 23, and the transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery core 200.

[0073] The position sensor 25 detects the position of the battery core 200, and when it detects that the battery core 200 may collide with the rotation mechanism 20 when it enters the detection area, it transmits an avoidance signal to the rotation mechanism 20.

[0074] After receiving the avoidance signal from the position sensor 25 , the rotation mechanism 20 controls the rotating disk to rotate the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 at a certain angle to avoid the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 from the battery core 200 .

[0075] The transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery core 200 to the detection area.

[0076] The position sensor 25 detects the position of the battery core 200, and sends a signal to the rotation mechanism 20 if it does not detect the battery core 200 or if it detects that the position of the battery core 200 is such that it cannot collide with the rotation mechanism 20.

[0077] After receiving the signal from the position sensor 25 , the rotation mechanism 20 controls the turntable 22 to rotate the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 in the circumferential direction, thereby detecting the battery core 200 .

[0078] After completing the scanning, the position sensor 25 detects the position of the battery core 200, and if it detects that the battery core 200 may collide with the rotation mechanism 20 during the output process, it sends an avoidance signal to the rotation mechanism 20.

[0079] After receiving the avoidance signal from the position sensor 25 , the rotation mechanism 20 controls the rotating disk to rotate the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 at a certain angle to avoid the radiation source 231 and the detector 232 from the battery core 200 .

[0080] The transmission mechanism 30 transmits the battery core 200 away from the detection area.

[0081] The screening mechanism 50 transfers the battery cores 200 that fail to pass the screening to a disposal area.
