1Reliability

If x-ray detection device is used for nondestructive detection, then detection can be performed without destroying the cell, but positions of positive plate and negative plate cannot be accurately positioned

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenondestructive detection capabilityVSAvoidelectrode plate position accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the electrode plate detection into multiple processing stages: first obtaining a rough detection result, then identifying a region of interest based on that result, and finally performing precise detection on the region of interest. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high precision without requiring the entire detection system to operate at maximum complexity, thus maintaining nondestructive detection while improving position accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a multi-dimensional processing approach by first detecting electrode plates in one dimension (overall cell image), then identifying regions of interest, and finally performing precise detection in another dimension (zoomed-in region). This dimensional transition from coarse to fine detection enables accurate positioning while maintaining the nondestructive nature of x-ray detection.

2Device complexity

If traditional detection method is used, then detection process is simple, but cell alignment metric detection accuracy is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The detection process is segmented into distinct stages: initial electrode plate detection, region of interest identification based on detection results, and precise alignment metric detection on the identified region. This segmentation transforms a single complex accurate detection into multiple simpler detection stages, where each stage focuses on a specific aspect, thereby improving overall accuracy without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary detection of electrode plates before conducting the final alignment metric detection. By first identifying the positions and regions of interest of electrode plates, the system prepares the data structure and focus areas in advance, which enables more accurate alignment detection in the subsequent step without requiring complete re-detection of the entire cell.
