Pole burr detection method, device, electronic device and storage medium

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 202311753441.4, filed on December 19, 2023, entitled “Method, device, electronic device and storage medium for detecting pole piece burrs,” and the entire contents of that application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for detecting electrode burrs. Background Art

[0004] Laser die-cutting is widely used in the industrial manufacturing of various lithium-ion batteries. Laser die-cutting ensures that the electrode sheets achieve the desired design shape. However, during the laser die-cutting process, fluctuations in laser power or abnormalities in the incoming material can cause burr defects on the electrode sheets, which in turn affect the quality of the lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, burr detection is of great significance.

[0005] However, the burr detection method in the related art has the problem of low detection accuracy when identifying burrs on the end face of the pole piece.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present application provides a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for detecting electrode burrs, which can avoid the problem of inaccurate burr identification due to the high similarity between the characteristics of the molten area and the active material, thereby improving the accuracy of burr identification.

[0008] In the first aspect, the present application provides a method for detecting electrode burrs, the method comprising: obtaining an image of the electrode end face after the battery electrode is cut; segmenting the melting area from the electrode end face image to obtain a melting area image; and identifying burrs in the melting area based on the melting area height value corresponding to the melting area in the melting area image and a preset burr height threshold.

[0009] In the embodiments of the present application, by separating the melt region from the electrode end face image, the melt region is automatically identified, thereby avoiding the low melt region identification accuracy problem that exists in manual visual identification, thereby improving not only the melt region identification accuracy but also the melt region identification efficiency. Furthermore, after the melt region is identified, the burrs in the melt region can be identified by comparing the melt region height value with a preset burr height threshold, thereby avoiding the burr labeling efficiency and low accuracy caused by manual burr labeling, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of burr detection.

[0010] In some embodiments, obtaining an image of the end face of a battery pole piece after the pole piece is cut includes: obtaining an initial pole piece end face image that at least includes the pole piece end face; and cropping the initial pole piece end face image based on the position and / or proportion of the pole piece end face in the initial pole piece end face image to obtain a pole piece end face image.

[0011] By cropping the pole piece end face image, the recognition accuracy of the molten area in the pole piece end face image is improved, thereby improving the detection accuracy of burr detection.

[0012] In some embodiments, segmenting the melting region from the pole piece end face image to obtain a melting region image includes: using a region recognition model to identify the melting region from the pole piece end face image; segmenting the melting region from the pole piece end face image to obtain a melting region image, wherein the melting region image is a binary image, and the binary image includes the melting region and the background region.

[0013] The use of a region recognition model enables automatic identification of molten regions, avoiding the low accuracy of manual identification, improving both the accuracy and efficiency of molten region identification, and thus the accuracy and efficiency of burr detection. Furthermore, because molten region images contain both molten and background regions, and these two regions are highly distinguishable in molten region images, identifying burrs based on molten region images avoids inaccurate burr identification due to the high similarity between the characteristics of the molten region and the active material, thereby improving burr recognition accuracy.

[0014] In some embodiments, burrs in the melted area are identified based on a melted area height value corresponding to the melted area in the melted area image and a preset burr height threshold, including: sampling the melted area in the melted area image to obtain multiple sampling points; identifying burrs in the melted area based on a melted area height value corresponding to each sampling point and a preset burr height threshold.

[0015] By comparing the melting area height value of the melting area with the preset burr height threshold, the burrs in the melting area can be identified, thereby avoiding the problems of low burr marking efficiency and accuracy caused by manual burr marking, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of burr detection.

[0016] In some embodiments, the melting area in the melting area image is sampled to obtain a plurality of sampling points, including: performing connected domain processing on the melting area image to obtain a target melting area image; sampling the melting area in the target melting area image along a first direction to obtain a plurality of sampling points, wherein the first direction is used to characterize the extension direction of the melting area on the end face of the pole piece.

[0017] By performing connected domain processing on the melt region image, the consistency of each image region in the melt region image is ensured, reducing the risk of disconnection in the melt region during burr defect identification, thereby improving the detection accuracy of burr defects. Multi-point sampling in the lateral direction of the melt region can reduce the randomness of burr defect detection and reduce the risk of missed burr detection while ensuring a reasonable burr detection time.

[0018] In some embodiments, burrs in the melting area are identified based on the melting area height value corresponding to each sampling point and a preset burr height threshold, including: obtaining the melting area height value corresponding to each sampling point in the second direction to obtain the melting area height value of each sampling point, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; comparing the melting area height values ​​of multiple sampling points to obtain a maximum height value; and determining that burrs exist in the melting area when the maximum height value is greater than the preset burr height threshold.

[0019] The maximum height of the molten area is compared with a preset burr height threshold to determine whether burrs are present in the molten area, improving the accuracy of burr defect detection. Furthermore, by comparing only the maximum height with the preset burr height threshold, rather than comparing the molten area height values ​​at all sampling points, the number of comparisons can be reduced, improving comparison efficiency and, consequently, enhancing the efficiency of burr detection.

[0020] In some embodiments, after determining that there are burrs in the melting region, the melting region height value corresponding to each sampling point is compared with a preset burr height threshold to obtain a comparison result; a target sampling point is determined from multiple sampling points based on the comparison result, wherein the target sampling point is a sampling point whose melting region height value is greater than the preset burr height threshold; and the position of the target sampling point in the melting region is determined as the position of the burr in the melting region.

[0021] After detecting the presence of a burr defect in the molten area, further detecting the specific location of the burr in the molten area can improve the efficiency and accuracy of burr detection. Based on the identification of whether there is a burr defect in the molten area, by determining the specific defect location when a burr defect is identified, the cause of the burr defect can be analyzed, and then the laser die-cutting equipment or the manufacturing process of the pole piece can be improved to improve the production quality of the pole piece, and thus improve the production quality of the battery.

[0022] In some embodiments, after comparing the melting area height values ​​of multiple sampling points to obtain the maximum height value, if there is no target sampling point among the multiple sampling points, the average of the melting area height values ​​of the multiple sampling points is calculated to obtain the average height value of the melting area; based on the average height value of the melting area and the preset melting area height range, it is determined whether the quality of the battery electrode meets the target requirements.

[0023] In the case that there are no burr defects in the molten area, further product compliance inspection is carried out on the molten area to improve the quality of the battery pole pieces and thus improve the production quality of the battery.

[0024] In some embodiments, after obtaining the height value of the melting area corresponding to each sampling point in the second direction and obtaining the height value of the melting area of ​​each sampling point, a statistical analysis is performed on the height values ​​of the melting areas corresponding to multiple sampling points to determine the abnormal height range corresponding to the abnormal sampling point; based on the abnormal height range, an abnormal sampling point is identified from the multiple sampling points, wherein the height value of the melting area of ​​the abnormal sampling point is within the abnormal height range; and the abnormal sampling point is filtered out from the multiple sampling points to obtain multiple filtered sampling points.

[0025] By identifying and filtering out abnormal sampling points in the molten area image, the influence of abnormal sampling points on burr detection is avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of burr detection.

[0026] In some embodiments, the region recognition model includes at least a U-Net model.

[0027] By using the U-Net model to identify the molten area in the electrode end face image, the recognition cost of the molten area is reduced.

[0028] In the second aspect, the present application also provides a device for detecting burrs on a pole piece, which includes: an image acquisition module, configured to acquire an image of the pole piece end face after the battery pole piece is cut; a melt identification module, configured to segment the melt area from the pole piece end face image to obtain a melt area image; a burr identification module, configured to identify burrs in the melt area based on the melt area height value corresponding to the melt area in the melt area image and a preset burr height threshold.

[0029] In a third aspect, the present application further provides an electronic device comprising: a processor and a memory storing computer program instructions; when the processor executes the computer program instructions, the method for detecting pole piece burrs as described in the first aspect is implemented.

[0030] In a fourth aspect, the present application further provides a readable storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon. When the computer program instructions are executed by a processor, the method for detecting pole piece burrs as described in the first aspect is implemented.

In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present application, it can be implemented in accordance with the contents of the specification.

[0052] Laser die-cutting is widely used in the industrial manufacturing of various lithium-ion batteries. Laser die-cutting of lithium-ion battery pole pieces can achieve the desired shape after die-cutting. However, during the laser die-cutting process, laser power fluctuations or material anomalies can cause burrs on the end faces of the pole pieces, thus affecting the quality of the lithium-ion batteries.

[0053] Traditional burr detection schemes usually have a good detection rate for protruding planar burrs. For example, pulse cameras and gray point cameras can be used to capture images, and linear fitting technology can be used to judge and measure burrs. However, the above method is only applicable to the detection of thin film burrs and cannot be applied to the detection of burrs on the end faces of multi-layer structures. Moreover, the end face burr scene is complex, and most of them require manual visual inspection through a microscope. In addition, the characteristics of the molten area where the burr is located are highly similar to the characteristics of the active materials covered above and below it. For example, in the end face image of the pole piece shown in Figure 1, the molten area is highly similar to the active material area, and the way the human eye identifies the molten area is prone to misidentification. In related technologies, manual annotation is usually used to mark the burrs on the end face of the pole piece. For example, in the end face image of the pole piece shown in Figure 2, the inspector marked the height of the burr at position [1] and position [2]. For example, the burr height at position [1] is 35.0μm, and the burr height at position [2] is 31.1μm. The above manual burr annotation method relies on manual experience, and the annotation is unstable, resulting in a low burr detection accuracy. At the same time, the manual burr detection solution consumes a lot of manpower, has low efficiency, and increases the cost of burr detection.

[0054] In response to the defects in the related art, the present application provides a method for detecting electrode burrs. The method uses a neural network model to identify the molten area in the end face of the electrode to solve the problems of low recognition accuracy and low recognition efficiency caused by manual identification of the molten area in the related art, thereby improving the accuracy of molten area identification, and further improving the accuracy and efficiency of burr detection. After accurately identifying the molten area, multi-point sampling is performed on the molten area, and the height value of the molten area corresponding to each sampling point is detected to detect the burr defects in the molten area. This process does not rely on manual experience, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of burr marking and reducing the manpower consumption and detection cost of burr detection.

[0055] It should be noted that the electrode burr detection method provided in this application can be applied to the application environment shown in Figure 3. In Figure 3, user 301 operates on terminal device 302 through human-computer interaction. For example, user 301 can input the end face image of the battery electrode after laser die-cutting on the display interface of terminal device 302. Terminal device 302 uses the solution provided in the embodiment of this application to detect the acquired end face image to identify burr defects in the end face image. Among them, terminal device 302 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablet computers, etc. In the embodiment of this application, the battery can be a lithium-ion battery, and the battery electrode can be an electrode of a lithium-ion battery.

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that, in actual applications, the end face image after laser die-cutting can also be directly input into the terminal device 302 in FIG. 3 by the laser die-cutting device. This method can simplify the steps of manual operation and improve work efficiency.

[0057] In one embodiment, FIG4 shows a flow chart of a method for detecting a burr on a pole piece. The method may be applied to the terminal device 302 in FIG3 . As shown in FIG4 , the method may include the following steps S401 to S403 :

[0058] Step S401, obtaining an end face image of the battery electrode after the electrode is cut.

[0059] As an example, a laser die-cutting device performs laser die-cutting on a battery electrode to obtain an electrode end face. Simultaneously, the laser die-cutting device can capture an image of the laser end face, thereby obtaining an image of the electrode end face and storing the image in a terminal device. To inspect the quality of the electrode, the inspector can input the image of the electrode end face to be inspected into a burr defect detection application on the terminal device, which processes the image and identifies burr defects in the electrode end face.

[0060] In another example, a laser die-cutting device performs laser die-cutting on a battery pole piece to obtain a pole piece end face. At the same time, the laser die-cutting device can capture an image of the laser end face to obtain a pole piece end face image, and input the pole piece end face image into an application for detecting burr defects in a terminal device to process the pole piece end face image and identify burr defects in the pole piece end face.

[0061] Step S402 : Segment the molten area from the electrode end face image to obtain a molten area image.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can automatically identify the molten area in the electrode end face image without manual identification, which not only improves the identification efficiency of the molten area, but also avoids the problem of low recognition accuracy in manual identification.

[0063] As an example, the terminal device may segment the molten area image from the pole piece end face image by image processing, or may identify the molten area image from the pole piece end face image by a neural network model.

[0064] Step S403 : identifying burrs in the molten area according to the molten area height value corresponding to the molten area in the molten area image and a preset burr height threshold.

[0065] In step S403, the preset burr height threshold may be a height value determined by a tester based on actual experience, or an upper limit of a melting area height range determined by a terminal device performing statistics on the height values ​​of melting areas without burr defects.

[0066] As an example, the terminal device can sample the melting area and compare the melting area height value corresponding to each sampling point with the burr height threshold. When a sampling point is detected where the melting area height value is greater than the burr height threshold, it can be determined that there is a burr on the end face of the pole piece.

[0067] As another example, the terminal device can compare the melting area height values ​​of multiple sampling points and compare the maximum melting area height value with the burr height threshold. If the maximum melting area height value is greater than the burr height threshold, it can be determined that there are burrs on the end face of the pole piece.

[0068] Based on the scheme defined in steps S401 to S403 above, it can be seen that the embodiment of the present application, by separating the molten area from the electrode end face image, automatically identifies the molten area, avoiding the problem of low molten area identification accuracy existing in manual visual identification, not only improving the identification accuracy of the molten area, but also improving the identification efficiency of the molten area. Furthermore, after identifying the molten area, the burrs in the molten area can be identified by comparing the molten area height value of the molten area with a preset burr height threshold, thereby avoiding the problem of low burr labeling efficiency and accuracy caused by manual burr labeling, and improving the accuracy and detection efficiency of burr detection.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, obtaining an image of the end face of the battery pole piece after the pole piece is cut includes: obtaining an initial pole piece end face image that at least includes the pole piece end face; and cropping the initial pole piece end face image based on the position and / or proportion of the pole piece end face in the initial pole piece end face image to obtain a pole piece end face image.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the initial pole piece end face image may contain other content besides the battery pole piece, which will reduce the accuracy of the molten area recognition. Moreover, the battery pole piece usually accounts for a small proportion of the initial pole piece end face image. Therefore, in order to improve the recognition accuracy of the molten area, in the embodiment of the present application, before identifying the molten area in the pole piece end face image, the initial pole piece end face image is first cropped according to the position and / or proportion of the pole piece end face in the initial pole piece end face image to remove other interference factors in the pole piece end face image except the active material. At the same time, the proportion of the pole piece end face in the image is increased, which provides a basis for the subsequent identification of the molten area and the detection of burr defects.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the melting area is segmented from the pole piece end face image to obtain the melting area image, including: using a region recognition model to identify the melting area from the pole piece end face image; segmenting the melting area from the pole piece end face image to obtain the melting area image.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the region recognition model is a neural network model for identifying the melt region. For example, the region recognition model may be a U-Net model. The melt region image is a binary image including the melt region and the background region.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the region recognition model is used to realize automatic recognition of the molten area, avoiding the problem of low accuracy of molten area recognition in manual recognition, improving the recognition accuracy and efficiency of the molten area, and thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of burr detection.

[0074] It should be noted that in actual applications, products with burr defects are usually rare, and collecting a large number of defect samples is difficult. In addition, too many parameters in the neural network model will lead to overfitting. However, due to the smaller scale of the U-Net model, there is no need to use a large number of defect samples. Moreover, the U-Net model has fewer parameters and does not cause overfitting. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the U-Net model is used to identify the molten area in the electrode end face image, which reduces the cost of identifying the molten area.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the melt region image is a binary image, i.e., a binary image consisting of 0s and 1s, where the 1-valued area represents the image area that needs to be processed, and the 0-valued area represents the image area that is shielded and does not need to be processed. In the embodiment of the present application, 1 represents the melt region in the electrode end face image, and 0 represents the background region in the electrode end face image. For example, in the schematic diagram of the melt region image shown in Figure 5, the black area represents the background area, and the white area represents the melt region.

[0076] It should be noted that the electrode end face image is converted into a binary image (i.e., a molten region image), and then the burr defects in the molten region of the electrode end face are identified based on the molten region image. Since the molten region image is a binary image, that is, all information in the electrode end face image is converted into 0 and 1, it can avoid interference of other information in the electrode end face image on burr detection, thereby improving the accuracy of burr detection. Moreover, in the molten region image, the molten region and the background region have a high degree of distinction. Therefore, identifying burrs based on the molten region image can avoid the problem of inaccurate burr identification due to the high similarity between the characteristics of the molten region and the active material, thereby improving the accuracy of burr identification.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the region recognition model includes at least a downsampling module, an upsampling module, a convolution module and a feature stitching module, wherein the melting area is segmented from the pole piece end face image to obtain the melting area image, including: performing multiple downsampling on the pole piece end face image through the downsampling module to obtain a downsampling feature map generated by each downsampling; performing convolution processing on the downsampling feature map generated by each downsampling through the convolution module to obtain a convolution feature map; performing upsampling and feature stitching processing on the convolution feature map respectively through the upsampling module and the feature stitching module to obtain the melting area features corresponding to the melting area in the pole piece end face image; identifying the melting area and the background area from the pole piece end face image based on the melting area features; performing binarization processing on the melting area and the background area in the pole piece end face image, and segmenting the melting area from the binarized pole piece end face image to obtain the melting area image.

[0078] As an example, a schematic diagram of the structure of the U-Net model is shown in Figure 6. In Figure 6, the input image of the U-Net model is the electrode end face image, and the output image is the molten area image.

[0079] As can be seen from Figure 6, in the embodiment of the present application, the U-Net model adopts a codec structure that combines upsampling and downsampling, wherein downsampling can increase the robustness to disturbances of the input image, such as image translation, rotation, etc.; in the upsampling process, the features are spliced, that is, in the embodiment of the present application, a multi-scale fusion method is used to upsample the downsampled feature map obtained by downsampling. This method improves the problem of insufficient upsampling information, improves the accuracy of small target recognition, and improves the effect of target edge segmentation.

[0080] It should be noted that compared with the manual identification of molten areas in related technologies, the use of the U-Net model shown in Figure 6 to identify molten areas in the electrode end face image can improve the recognition speed and accuracy of the molten areas. In the embodiment of the present application, the U-Net model for identifying molten areas can increase the manual recognition rate from 90s / sample to 0.2s / sample, an efficiency increase of 450 times. The measurement repeatability and reproducibility increased from 61.33%, which did not meet the measurement system evaluation index, to less than 1%, meeting the measurement system MSA (Measurement System Analysis) evaluation index and providing an accurate input source for the subsequent calculation of the burr location and the average height of the molten area.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the convolution feature map is upsampled and feature stitched respectively by the upsampling module and the feature stitching module to obtain the melting area feature corresponding to the melting area in the electrode end face image, including: performing the Mth upsampling process on the convolution feature map corresponding to the Nth downsampling by the upsampling module to obtain the upsampling feature map corresponding to the Mth upsampling; performing the Mth feature stitching on the upsampling feature map corresponding to the Mth upsampling and the convolution feature map corresponding to the N-1th downsampling by the feature stitching module to obtain the initial defect segmentation map; performing the Mth feature stitching on the initial defect segmentation The graph iteratively performs the following operations until M=P to obtain a target defect segmentation map, and determines that the feature corresponding to the target defect segmentation map is a melting area feature: the initial defect segmentation map obtained by the M-th feature splicing is upsampled by the upsampling module to obtain an upsampled feature map corresponding to the M+1-th upsampling; the upsampled feature map corresponding to the M+1-th upsampling and the feature map generated by the N-2-th downsampling are feature spliced ​​by the feature splicing module to obtain the target defect segmentation map; M is added by one, N is subtracted by one, and the initial defect segmentation map is updated to the target defect segmentation map.

[0082] In the above embodiment, M+N=P, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, P is a positive integer greater than 1, and P-1 is the number of downsampling times of the region recognition model. For example, in the U-Net model shown in Figure 6, the number of downsampling times is 4, then P=5.

[0083] The above embodiment is explained below with reference to FIG6 .

[0084] In Figure 6, the pole piece end face image is input into the U-Net model. The convolution module performs a 3×3 convolution on the pole piece end face image. The convolved image is then downsampled 2×2 by the downsampling module to obtain a downsampled feature map, completing a downsampling process. This downsampled feature map serves as the input image for the next downsampling. By repeating the above operation, a downsampled feature map generated by multiple downsampling operations can be obtained. After the last downsampling, the downsampled feature map generated by the last downsampling is input into the convolution module and a 3×3 convolution operation is performed. The convolved downsampled feature map (i.e., the convolution feature map) serves as the input image for the upsampling module. The upsampling module performs a 2×2 upsampling process on the convolution feature map to obtain an upsampled feature map. This upsampled feature map is feature-joined with the convolution feature map corresponding to the penultimate downsampling to obtain the initial defect segmentation map. The above operation is then repeated on the initial defect segmentation map until all upsampling is complete. The resulting defect segmentation map is then subjected to a 3×3 convolution followed by a 1×1 convolution to obtain the target defect segmentation map. Feature extraction is then performed on the target defect segmentation map to obtain the melt region features. Finally, the electrode end face image is segmented based on the melt region features to obtain the background region and the melt region. The electrode end face image is then binarized to obtain the melt region image.

[0085] As can be seen from the above, the electrode end face image is used as the input image of the U-Net model. The U-Net model performs four downsampling operations on the electrode end face image, reducing the image resolution and obtaining four intermediate feature maps: layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, and layer 4. The intermediate feature map layer 4 is then convolved and upsampled, and then concatenated with the convolved intermediate feature map layer 3. This process is repeated until the last upsampling is completed. The feature map obtained from the last upsampling is then subjected to a 1x1 convolution to obtain a low-resolution defect segmentation image. This process continues in this way, ultimately resulting in a melt region image with the same resolution as the original electrode end face image.

[0086] It should be noted that by adopting the multi-scale fusion method to upsample the downsampled feature map, the problem of insufficient upsampling information is improved, the accuracy of small target recognition is improved, the effect of target edge segmentation is improved, and the accuracy of molten area recognition is improved, thereby providing a basis for the accurate identification of burr defects.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, burrs in the melted area are identified based on a melted area height value corresponding to the melted area in the melted area image and a preset burr height threshold, including: sampling the melted area in the melted area image to obtain multiple sampling points; identifying burrs in the melted area based on a melted area height value corresponding to each sampling point and a preset burr height threshold.

[0088] As an example, the terminal device may sample the melted area in the melted area image shown in FIG5 along the horizontal direction, thereby obtaining multiple sampling points in the horizontal area. The height value of the white area corresponding to each sampling point is the height value of the melted area corresponding to each sampling point.

[0089] By comparing the melting area height value of the melting area with the preset burr height threshold, the burrs in the melting area can be identified, thereby avoiding the problems of low burr marking efficiency and accuracy caused by manual burr marking, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of burr detection.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, sampling the melted area in the melted area image to obtain multiple sampling points includes: performing connected domain processing on the melted area image to obtain a target melted area image; sampling the melted area in the target melted area image along a first direction to obtain multiple sampling points.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the first direction is used to represent the extension direction of the molten region on the end face of the electrode. That is, the first direction is the lateral direction of the molten region. For example, in Figure 5, the first direction is the horizontal direction. In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the molten region is sampled in the horizontal direction to obtain multiple sampling points. The sampling frequency of the multiple sampling points can be set by the tester according to actual needs.

[0092] In addition, in the above embodiment, a connected domain is a connected area in a binary image consisting of adjacent pixels with the same pixel value. Adjacent pixels can be adjacent pixels in the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal directions in the binary image. In the embodiment of the present application, a connected domain algorithm in related art can be used to perform maximum connected domain processing on the melted region image.

[0093] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, connected domain processing is performed on the melt region image to ensure the consistency of each image region in the melt region image, reducing the risk of disconnection in the melt region during burr defect identification, thereby improving the detection accuracy of burr defects. In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, multi-point sampling is performed in the lateral direction of the melt region to reduce the randomness of burr defect detection and reduce the risk of missed burr detection while ensuring a reasonable burr detection time.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, burrs in the melting area are identified based on the melting area height value corresponding to each sampling point and a preset burr height threshold, including: obtaining the melting area height value corresponding to each sampling point in the second direction to obtain the melting area height value of each sampling point; comparing the melting area height values ​​of multiple sampling points to obtain a maximum height value; when the maximum height value is greater than the preset burr height threshold, determining that burrs exist in the melting area.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. For example, in FIG5 , the second direction is perpendicular to the melt region. The melt region height value at each sampling point is the height value of each sampling point in the second direction. For example, in the sampled melt region image shown in FIG7 , each white line within the melt region represents a sampling point, and accordingly, the length of each white line is the melt region height value at each sampling point.

[0096] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the maximum height value of the molten region is compared with a preset burr height threshold to determine whether a burr is present in the molten region, thereby improving the accuracy of burr defect detection. Furthermore, by comparing only the maximum height value with the preset burr height threshold, rather than comparing the molten region height values ​​at all sampling points with the preset burr height threshold, the number of comparisons can be reduced, improving comparison efficiency and, consequently, improving the efficiency of burr detection.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, after determining that there are burrs in the melting area, the terminal device compares the melting area height value corresponding to each sampling point with a preset burr height threshold to obtain a comparison result; determines a target sampling point from multiple sampling points based on the comparison result; and determines the position of the target sampling point in the melting area as the position of the burr in the melting area.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the target sampling point is the sampling point where the height of the melt region is greater than the preset burr height threshold, that is, the location of the target sampling point is the location of the burr. In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, if a burr defect is determined to exist in the melt region, the specific location of the burr in the melt region is further detected.

[0099] It should be noted that after detecting the presence of a burr defect in the molten area, further detecting the specific location of the burr in the molten area can improve the efficiency and accuracy of burr detection. In addition, from the above content, it can be seen that the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application can not only identify whether there is a burr defect in the molten area, but also determine the specific defect location when a burr defect is identified, so as to facilitate the subsequent analysis of the cause of the burr defect, and then improve the laser die-cutting equipment or the manufacturing process of the pole piece to improve the production quality of the pole piece, and then improve the production quality of the battery.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, after comparing the melting area height values ​​of multiple sampling points to obtain the maximum height value, if there is no target sampling point among the multiple sampling points, the terminal device calculates the average of the melting area height values ​​of the multiple sampling points to obtain the average height value of the melting area; and then determines whether the quality of the battery electrode meets the target requirements based on the average height value of the melting area and a preset melting area height range.

[0101] As an example, in an embodiment of the present application, the height value of the melting area of ​​each sampling point can be counted, and the height value of the melting area of ​​each sampling point can be compared with the preset burr height threshold. When it is detected that the height values ​​of the melting areas of all sampling points are less than the preset burr height threshold, it can be determined that there are no burr defects in the melting area. At this time, the terminal device can use the box plot statistical method to calculate the average height value of the melting area. If the average height value is within the preset melting area height range, it is determined that the battery electrode meets the requirements of electrode production (i.e., the target demand); if the average height value is outside the preset melting area height range, it can be determined that the battery electrode does not meet the requirements of electrode production. In actual application, the battery electrode can be discarded.

[0102] It should be noted that the preset melting area height range is the height range of the melting area in qualified battery electrode sheets. This preset melting area height range can be set by the tester based on actual experience, or it can be determined by the terminal device through statistical analysis of historical melting area height values ​​of battery electrode sheets.

[0103] In addition, it should be noted that when there are no burr defects in the molten area, further product compliance inspection is carried out on the molten area to improve the quality of the battery pole pieces and thus improve the production quality of the battery.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, after obtaining the height value of the melting area corresponding to each sampling point in the second direction and obtaining the height value of the melting area of ​​each sampling point, the terminal device further performs statistical analysis on the height values ​​of the melting areas corresponding to multiple sampling points to determine the abnormal height range corresponding to the abnormal sampling point; then, based on the abnormal height range, the abnormal sampling point is identified from the multiple sampling points, and the abnormal sampling point is filtered out from the multiple sampling points to obtain multiple filtered sampling points.

[0105] In the above embodiment, the melting region height value of the abnormal sampling point is within the abnormal height range. The abnormal sampling point is a sampling point where the melting region height value is much smaller than the average melting region height value. For example, the abnormal height range is 0-h, where h can be determined by multiplying the proportional coefficient by the average melting region height value. The proportional coefficient can be a positive number greater than 0 and less than 1. The proportional coefficient can be set by the tester based on actual experience.

[0106] As an example, in the sampled melt region image shown in FIG7 , the melt region height values ​​of some sampling points are much smaller than the average melt region height value. These sampling points are abnormal sampling points (such as the sampling points within the area marked by the black box in FIG7 ). To avoid the impact of abnormal sampling points on burr defect identification, in an embodiment of the present application, when abnormal sampling points are detected in the melt region image, the abnormal sampling points in the melt region image are filtered out, thereby obtaining the melt region image after filtering out the abnormal sampling points shown in FIG8 . The terminal device then detects the melt region image after filtering out the abnormal sampling points to identify burrs in the melt region.

[0107] It should be noted that by identifying and filtering out abnormal sampling points in the molten area image, the influence of abnormal sampling points on burr detection is avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of burr detection.

[0108] Based on the above content, it can be seen that the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application uses a neural network learning model to segment the melting area image from the electrode end face image, and detects the melting area height value of the melting area in the melting area image to determine whether there are burrs in the melting area. In addition, the embodiment of the present application also detects whether the battery electrode is compliant based on the melting area height value of the melting area in the melting area image, so as to improve the quality of battery products, provide the safety of battery products, and reduce the production cost of batteries.

[0109] The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application identifies the melting area based on U-Net. This method reduces the manpower consumption of burr detection, makes burr detection stably reproducible, reduces the risk of battery cell puncture, improves the safety of battery products, and reduces production costs.

[0110] In addition, the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only detect whether there are burr defects in the melting area by performing statistical analysis on the melting area height values ​​of the sampling points in the melting area image, but also determine the position of the burr when the burr defects are detected in the melting area, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of burr detection and enhancing the stability and reproducibility of burr detection.
