[0119] In order to timely inform the user when a suspected wrinkle area is detected, in the embodiment, the tab defect detection system further comprises an alarm device, which alarms when the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result is that a suspected wrinkle area is detected.

[0120] For ease of understanding, the following is an example, but does not limit the present application. As an example, the alarm logic is as follows:

[0121] a. When the appearance shadow detection result of the current EA is that a suspected wrinkle area is detected, the control device controls the tab production equipment to stop and generates an alarm instruction, the alarm device receives the alarm instruction and alarms according to the alarm instruction, and the user can determine whether the suspected wrinkle area is a real defect by checking the picture or the real object after receiving the alarm; if so, the bad product is marked at the fixed area of the current EA or the current EA is directly pulled off and the tape is reconnected.

[0122] b. When the size mutation detection result of the current EA is that only one detection unit detects a suspected wrinkle area, the control device controls the tab production equipment to stop and generates an alarm instruction, the alarm device receives the alarm instruction and alarms according to the alarm instruction, and the user can determine whether the suspected wrinkle area is a real defect by checking the picture or the real object after receiving the alarm; if so, the bad product is marked at the fixed area of the current EA or the current EA is directly pulled off and the tape is reconnected.

[0123] c. When the suspected wrinkle area penetrates through multiple tab ear spacings, the control device controls the tab production equipment to stop and generates an alarm instruction, the alarm device receives the alarm instruction and alarms according to the alarm instruction, and the user can determine whether the suspected wrinkle area is a real defect by checking the picture or the real object after receiving the alarm; if so, the bad product is marked at the fixed area of the current EA or the current EA is directly pulled off and the tape is reconnected.

[0124] In the embodiment, the tab defect detection system further comprises an alarm device, which alarms when the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result is that a suspected wrinkle area is detected, so that the user can be notified in time when a suspected wrinkle area is detected.

[0125] In some embodiments, the tab defect detection system further comprises a marking device; the control device is further configured to generate a marking instruction and send the marking instruction to the marking device when the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both that a suspected wrinkle area is detected; and the marking device is configured to mark the bad product at the corresponding position of the tab according to the marking instruction.

[0126] Considering that the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both that a suspected wrinkle area is detected, the suspected wrinkle area is usually a real defect. Therefore, in the embodiment, when the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both that a suspected wrinkle area is detected, a marking instruction is directly generated and sent to the marking device, and the marking device marks the bad product at the corresponding position of the tab according to the marking instruction, wherein the marking device can be a marking machine, the marking machine is used for automatically marking the EA with defects, and the corresponding position of the tab can be a fixed position on the tab, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0127] For ease of understanding, reference is made to FIG. 3, but the present application is not limited thereto. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the projection position of the marking device on the A surface of the pole piece in the pole piece defect detection system. As an example, when the size mutation detection result of the current EA and the size mutation detection result are both detected as a suspected crease area, the control device generates a marking instruction and sends the marking instruction to the marking device 7. The marking device 7 performs bad product marking at the fixed position of the pole piece according to the marking instruction.

[0128] In the present embodiment, when the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both detected as a suspected crease area, the bad product marking is directly performed on the corresponding position of the pole piece by the marking device, so that the defective EA can be marked in time during the production of the pole piece, so that the user can continue the subsequent processing, and thus the yield and efficiency of the production of the pole piece can be improved.

[0129] In some embodiments, the control device is further configured to generate a marking instruction and send the marking instruction to the marking device when the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result of the first roll of pole pieces are both detected as a suspected crease area, and the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result of the second roll of pole pieces is detected as a suspected crease area, wherein the first roll of pole pieces and the second roll of pole pieces are adjacent pole pieces, the first roll of pole pieces are used to roll into a first electric core, and the second roll of pole pieces are used to roll into a second electric core; and the marking device is configured to perform bad product marking on the corresponding position of the first roll of pole pieces and the corresponding position of the second roll of pole pieces according to the marking instruction.

[0130] Considering that the crease defect appears continuously on two adjacent EAs, when the Nth knife of the first EA satisfies that the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both detected as a suspected crease area, and the 1st knife of the second EA satisfies that the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result is detected as a suspected crease area, the marking device performs bad product marking on the fixed position of the first EA and the second EA according to the marking instruction.

[0131] In the present embodiment, when the crease defect appears continuously, the marking condition of the continuous EA is relaxed. When the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result of the second roll of pole pieces is detected as a suspected crease area, the bad product marking is performed on the corresponding position of the first roll of pole pieces and the corresponding position of the second roll of pole pieces by the marking device, so that the accuracy of the crease defect detection can be improved, and thus the bad product marking of the defective EA can be performed in time.

[0132] In some embodiments, the control device is further configured to, when the size mutation detection result is that a suspected crease area is detected and the pole width difference between adjacent target areas is equal to the film width difference, calculate a pole width mutation of the pole piece according to the pole width information, wherein the target area is an area between adjacent pole tabs; when the pole width mutation is equal to the pole width difference, generate a marking instruction and send the marking instruction to the marking device; and the marking device is configured to mark the defective product at the corresponding position of the pole piece according to the marking instruction.

[0133] When the detection units at multiple different positions all detect the same size mutation, the suspected crease area is usually a real defect. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the size mutation detection result is that a suspected crease area is detected and the pole width difference between adjacent target areas is equal to the film width difference, and the pole width mutation is equal to the pole width difference, the marking device is directly used to mark the defective product at the corresponding position of the pole piece.

[0134] For ease of understanding, reference is made to FIG. 3, but the present application is not limited thereto. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the projection position of the marking device on the A surface of the pole piece in the pole piece defect detection system. As an example, when the B surface size of the die-cut pole piece obtained according to the first detection unit 2 detects a suspected crease area, wherein the mutation of B6 is equal to the mutation of B3, and the other second detection unit 3 detects the A surface pole width size A6 and the B surface pole width size B6 of the die-cut pole piece, and the mutation amount is equal to that of the first detection unit 2, the marking device 7 can be directly used to mark the current EA for the automatic defective product marking of the crease defect.

[0135] In this embodiment, when the size mutation detection result is that a suspected crease area is detected and the pole width difference between adjacent target areas is equal to the film width difference, and the pole width mutation is equal to the pole width difference, the marking device is directly used to mark the defective product at the corresponding position of the pole piece, thereby improving the accuracy of the crease defect detection and further enabling the timely defective product marking of the defect EA.

[0136] In some embodiments, the control device is further configured to obtain the setting position of the detection unit that detects the crease defect and obtain the setting position of the detection unit that does not detect the crease defect; and position the crease defect according to the setting position of the detection unit that detects the crease defect and the setting position of the detection unit that does not detect the crease defect.

[0137] In order to accurately position the crease defect, in this embodiment, the crease defect is positioned according to the setting position of the detection unit that detects the crease defect and the setting position of the detection unit that does not detect the crease defect.

[0138] For ease of understanding, reference is made to FIG. 1, but the present application is not limited thereto. In FIG. 1, as an example, the defect positioning can include the following cases:

[0139] a、When the first detection unit 2 detects the creasing defect, and the second detection unit 3, the third detection unit 5 or the fourth detection unit 6 also detects the creasing defect, it can be judged that the defect is generated before the first detection unit 2, and the source of the creasing can be investigated and solved from the source;

[0140] b、When the second detection unit 3 detects the creasing defect, and the third detection unit 5 or the fourth detection unit 6 also detects the creasing defect, it can be judged that the defect is generated between the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 3;

[0141] c、When the third detection unit 5 or the fourth detection unit 6 detects the creasing defect, it is reported to stop at this time, and the staff confirms whether it is a real creasing defect, and it can be judged that the defect is generated after the second detection unit 3 and before the third detection unit 5 or the fourth detection unit 6.

[0142] The embodiment can locate the creasing defect according to the setting position of the detection unit detecting the creasing defect and the setting position of the detection unit not detecting the creasing defect, so as to accurately locate the creasing defect, and further improve the accuracy of the pole piece defect detection.

[0147] The first detection unit 2, the second detection unit 3, the third detection unit 5, and the fourth detection unit 6 can be visual detectors (for example, Charge Coupled Device (CCD) cameras), laser detectors, and the like. For example, the visual detectors can detect the tab image to obtain the detection information, and the laser detectors can obtain the detection information by emitting a laser beam and detecting the reflection of the laser beam. The embodiments are not limited in this regard. The layout of the first detection unit 2, the second detection unit 3, the third detection unit 5, and the fourth detection unit 6 mainly meets the following requirements: 1.

Of course, since the second detection unit 3 captures the lug appearance and the tab appearance of the die-cut tab, the second detection unit 3 can also detect the excess material, damage defects, and the like in the lug and tab areas according to the lug appearance and the tab appearance of the die-cut tab captured by the second detection unit 3. The embodiments are not limited in this regard.

[0151] In step S30, the A surface appearance and the A surface size of the first side tab are detected by the third detection unit, wherein the first side tab is one side tab of the die-cut tab after being cut, and the second side tab is the other side tab of the die-cut tab after being cut.

[0152] The cutting device 4 is configured to divide the die-cut tab into two to obtain the first side tab and the second side tab. Of course, according to actual needs, the first side can be defined as the inner side of the tab, and the second side can be defined as the outer side of the tab. The embodiments are not limited in this regard.

[0153] The third detection unit 5 is configured to detect the A-face appearance and the A-face size of the first side tab, wherein the A-face appearance of the first side tab can include the A-face insulation area appearance and the A-face film area appearance of the first side tab, and the A-face size of the first side tab can include the A-face insulation area size A1 and the A-face film area size A2 of the first side tab, and the present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0155] The fourth detection unit is configured to detect the A-face appearance and the A-face size of the second side tab, wherein the A-face appearance of the second side tab can include the A-face insulation area appearance and the A-face film area appearance of the second side tab, and the A-face size of the second side tab can include the A-face insulation area size A5 and the A-face film area size A4 of the second side tab, and the present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0156] After the above-mentioned size information is obtained by the above-mentioned detection unit, other size information can also be obtained according to the above-mentioned size information, for example, the first side tab offset value M = A1-B1; the second side tab offset value N = A5-B5; the B-face film area size B2 of the first side tab = A1+A2-B1; the B-face film area size B4 of the second side tab = A4+A5-B5, and the present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0158] The control device (not shown in FIG. 1) includes but is not limited to a programmable logic controller (PLC), and the controller can be connected with other units in the pole piece defect detection system through a preset communication mode to obtain information uploaded by the other units and control the other units, where the preset communication mode can be preset, for example, the preset communication mode can be a bus communication mode and a wireless communication mode, etc., and the embodiment is not limited thereto. In specific implementation, after obtaining the detection information uploaded by the detection unit, the control device can analyze the detection information and perform a crimping abnormality detection on the pole piece according to the analysis result. Wherein, the analysis of the detection information can be performed by a preset image detection model, and the preset image detection model can be a pre-trained convolutional neural network model or other deep learning model, and the embodiment is not limited thereto. The crimping abnormality detection on the pole piece according to the analysis result can be to detect a suspected crease area on the pole piece according to the analysis result, and the suspected crease area can be an area where a crimping defect occurs on the pole piece.

[0159] The pole piece height of the crease area will change, and phenomena such as surface powder falling will also occur, resulting in a shadow area in the camera imaging, and the gray value of the pole piece in the other area will be different. Therefore, in the embodiment, appearance shadow detection can be performed on the pole piece. In specific implementation, appearance shadow detection can be performed on the pole piece according to the appearance of the B surface of the die-cut pole piece, the appearance of the pole piece, the appearance of the A surface of the first side pole piece, and the appearance of the A surface of the second side pole piece.

[0160] The pole width and film width of the crease area will have a certain range of mutations, and therefore, in the embodiment, size mutation detection can also be performed on the pole piece. For ease of understanding, reference is made to FIG. 1, but the present application is not limited thereto. As an example, size mutation detection can be performed on the pole piece according to the insulation area size, the film area size, the pole width size, and the AB surface misalignment size, where the insulation area size can include the A surface insulation area size A1 of the first side pole piece, the A surface insulation area size A5 of the second side pole piece, the B surface first insulation area size B1 of the die-cut pole piece, and the B surface second insulation area size B5 of the die-cut pole piece; the film area size can include the A surface film area size A2 of the first side pole piece, the A surface film area size A4 of the second side pole piece, the B surface film area size of the first side pole piece, and the B surface film area size B4 of the second side pole piece; the pole width size can include the A surface pole width size A6 and the B surface pole width size B6 of the die-cut pole piece; and the AB surface misalignment size can include the first side misalignment value M of the pole piece and the second side misalignment value of the pole piece.

[0161] The embodiment sets multiple detection units at different positions, each detection unit detects different appearance and size, so as to cover all areas of the polar piece A and B after die cutting, and detects the wrinkling abnormality of the polar piece according to the detection information, so as to detect the wrinkling abnormality in the production process of the polar piece, and further improve the safety of the battery. And since the embodiment also detects the wrinkling abnormality of the polar piece from the aspects of appearance shadow detection and size mutation detection, the accuracy of defect detection can be improved.

[0162] In some embodiments, after the step S50, the method further comprises:

[0163] When the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result is that a suspected wrinkling area is detected, the polar piece production equipment is controlled to stop, and an alarm instruction is generated, and an alarm device is controlled to alarm based on the alarm instruction.

[0164] In order to timely inform the user when a suspected wrinkling area is detected, in the embodiment, the polar piece defect detection system further comprises an alarm device, and when the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result is that a suspected wrinkling area is detected, the alarm device alarms.

[0165] For the convenience of understanding, the following is illustrated by way of example, but does not limit the present application. As an example, the alarm logic is as follows:

[0166] a. When the appearance shadow detection result of the current EA is that a suspected wrinkling area is detected, the equipment is controlled to control the polar piece production equipment to stop, and an alarm instruction is generated, the alarm device receives the alarm instruction, and alarms according to the alarm instruction, the user can determine whether the suspected wrinkling area is a real defect by checking the picture or the real object after receiving the alarm; if so, the bad product is marked at the fixed area of the current EA or the current EA is directly pulled out and reconnected.

[0167] b. When the size mutation detection result of the current EA is that only one detection unit detects a suspected wrinkling area, the equipment is controlled to control the polar piece production equipment to stop, and an alarm instruction is generated, the alarm device receives the alarm instruction, and alarms according to the alarm instruction, the user can determine whether the suspected wrinkling area is a real defect by checking the picture or the real object after receiving the alarm; if so, the bad product is marked at the fixed area of the current EA or the current EA is directly pulled out and reconnected.

[0168] c. When the suspected crease area is detected in the multiple tab spacing, the control device controls the tab production device to stop, and generates an alarm instruction. The alarm device receives the alarm instruction and alarms according to the alarm instruction. The user can determine whether the suspected crease area is a real defect by checking the picture or the real object after receiving the alarm. If yes, the defective product is marked at the fixed area of the current EA or the current EA is directly pulled out and the tape is reconnected.

[0169] In this embodiment, the tab defect detection system further comprises an alarm device. When the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result is a suspected crease area, the alarm device alarms, so that the user can be notified in time when the suspected crease area is detected.

[0171] When the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both suspected crease areas, the suspected crease area is usually a real defect. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both suspected crease areas, a marking instruction is directly generated and sent to the marking device. The marking device marks the defective product at the corresponding position of the tab according to the marking instruction. The marking device can be a marking machine, which is used for automatic marking of the EA with defects. The corresponding position of the tab can be a fixed position on the tab, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0172] For ease of understanding, reference is made to FIG. 3, but the present application is not limited thereto. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the projection position of the marking device in the tab defect detection system on the A surface of the tab. As an example, when the size mutation detection result and the size mutation detection result of the current EA are both suspected crease areas, the control device generates a marking instruction and sends the marking instruction to the marking device 7. The marking device 7 marks the defective product at the fixed position of the tab according to the marking instruction.

[0173] In this embodiment, when the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result are both suspected crease areas, the defective product is directly marked at the corresponding position of the tab by the marking device, so that the defective EA can be marked in time during the tab production process, so that the user can continue the subsequent processing, and thus the yield and efficiency of the tab production can be improved.

[0174] In some embodiments, after the step S50, the method further comprises: when the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result of the first jelly-roll sheet are both detected as a suspected crease area, and the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result of the second jelly-roll sheet is detected as a suspected crease area, generating a marking instruction, wherein the first jelly-roll sheet and the second jelly-roll sheet are adjacent jelly-roll sheets, the first jelly-roll sheet is used to roll into a first battery cell, and the second jelly-roll sheet is used to roll into a second battery cell; and performing bad product marking on the corresponding position of the first jelly-roll sheet and the corresponding position of the second jelly-roll sheet by a marking device according to the marking instruction.

[0175] Considering that the crease defect appears continuously on two adjacent EAs, when the Nth knife of the first EA satisfies both the appearance shadow detection result and the size mutation detection result, and the 1st knife of the second EA satisfies the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result, a marking device performs bad product marking on the fixed positions of the first EA and the second EA according to a marking instruction.

[0176] In this embodiment, when the crease defect appears continuously, the marking condition of the continuous EA is relaxed, and when the appearance shadow detection result or the size mutation detection result of the second jelly-roll sheet is detected as a suspected crease area, bad product marking is performed on the corresponding position of the first jelly-roll sheet and the corresponding position of the second jelly-roll sheet by a marking device, so as to improve the accuracy of crease defect detection, and further to timely mark the defective EA as a bad product.

[0178] Considering that the same size mutation is detected by multiple detection units at different positions, the suspected crease area is usually a real defect. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the size mutation detection result is detected as a suspected crease area, and the jelly width difference between adjacent target areas is equal to the film width difference, and the jelly width mutation is equal to the jelly width difference, bad product marking is directly performed on the corresponding position of the jelly sheet by a marking device.

As an example, when a suspected crease area is detected on the B surface of the post-cut pole piece according to the detection result of the first detection unit 2, the mutation of B6 = the mutation of B3, and other second detection units 3 detect the A surface pole width size A6 and the B surface pole width size B6 of the post-cut pole piece, and the mutation amount is equal to the mutation amount of the first detection unit 2, the automatic defective marking of the current EA can be directly marked by the marking device 7.

[0180] In the embodiment, when the size mutation detection result is that a suspected crease area is detected, the pole width difference between adjacent target areas is equal to the film width difference, and the pole width mutation is equal to the pole width difference, the defective marking is directly performed on the corresponding position of the pole piece by the marking device, so that the accuracy of the crease defect detection can be improved, and the defective marking of the defective EA can be performed in time.
