With the increase of the use requirements of users, the requirements on the energy density and the like of lithium ion batteries are higher and higher, and the research and development of electrode materials and the design and development of battery cores become more important. The absorption capacity of the pole piece of the battery cell to the electrolyte is closely related to the dynamics, the cycle life, the safety, the reliability and other performances of the battery cell, and the understanding of the liquid absorption capacity of the pole piece is crucial to reasonably solving the liquid rising problem and controlling the electrolyte consumption problem. The soaking path of the electrolyte inside the battery cell is as follows in sequence: the free gap → the gap between the cathode and anode sheets and the isolating film → the inner hole of the cathode and anode sheets, because the injection amount of the electrolyte is much larger than the volume of the free gap inside the electric core, the infiltration speed inside the electric core will be in the process from fast to slow, and finally determined by the absorption speed of the cathode and anode sheets to the electrolyte.
However, the characterization means and experience of the liquid absorption capability of the electrode plate in the current industry are still quite deficient, the method of dropping electrolyte to observe the diffusion area or soaking electrolyte to weigh is generally adopted, the two methods have great influence on the result due to factors such as electrolyte volatilization and the like in the operation process, the error is large, and the development of the work of material selection, failure analysis and the like in the cell design process is greatly limited.

Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples. The following detailed description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings are provided to illustrate the principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, i.e., the invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
In the description of the present invention, it is to be noted that, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and the like, as used herein, refer to an orientation or positional relationship indicated for convenience in describing the invention and to simplify description, but do not indicate or imply that the referenced device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus should not be construed as limiting the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
For better understanding of the present invention, the method for testing the pole piece wetting of the secondary battery according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to fig. 1.
The secondary battery of the present embodiment includes a case, an electrode assembly, and a cap assembly.
The housing of the present embodiment may have a hexahedral shape or other shapes. The case has an inner space accommodating the electrode assembly and the electrolyte. The housing may be made of a material such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, or plastic.
The electrode assembly of the present embodiment is disposed in the case. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The electrode assembly may have a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator stacked together, wound in a jelly-roll-like shape.
The cap assembly of the present embodiment is hermetically connected to the case to enclose the electrode assembly within the case.
The embodiment of the invention provides a pole piece infiltration testing method of a secondary battery, which comprises the following steps:
(a) sucking a predetermined amount of electrolyte by using a micro sampler;
(b) contacting the micro-sampler with a pole piece to be detected, and absorbing the electrolyte in the capillary tube by a pole piece sample to be detected under the capillary action;
(c) and recording the absorbed amount of the electrolyte in the micro-sampler after a preset time, and calculating the final absorption rate of the pole piece to be detected according to the absorbed amount and the ratio of the preset time.
According to the infiltration testing method provided by the embodiment of the invention, a micro sampler can be used for sucking the electrolyte with a preset amount according to the test requirements. Where a trace is a relatively large amount, the microsampler may draw a small amount of electrolyte. Because the pole piece to be tested absorbs the electrolyte in the micro-sampler through the capillary action, and the micro-sampler can accurately absorb the electrolyte with a preset amount to perform the test work, when the micro-sampler contacts with the pole piece to be tested, the pole piece to be tested can actively absorb the electrolyte in the micro-sampler. The electrode piece to be detected absorbs a certain amount of electrolyte, and the micro-sampler releases the electrolyte with the same volume, so that the electrode piece can completely absorb the electrolyte released by the micro-sampler. Electrolyte in the micro sampler cannot actively flow out, the possibility that the electrolyte is gathered on the surface of the pole piece and cannot be completely absorbed by the pole piece to be tested is reduced, and the test result precision of the pole piece absorption rate is effectively improved. In addition, compared with the prior art in a judgment mode through manual visual inspection, the method can accurately collect the absorbed amount of the electrolyte in the micro-sampler, so that the absorbed amount of the electrolyte in the micro-sampler can be accurately calculated, the calculation error is further reduced, and the precision of the test result is improved.
In one embodiment, the microsampler may be a cylindrical structure with capillary channels or capillary-like channels, so that the microsampler directly draws the electrolyte by capillary action without an external driving unit to provide the liquid suction power. Therefore, on one hand, when the electrolyte is absorbed through the capillary action, the absorption amount can be controlled more accurately; on the other hand, because the pole piece that awaits measuring absorbs electrolyte through self capillary action, and when the micro sampler contacted with the pole piece that awaits measuring, the pole piece that awaits measuring just followed the suction of electrolyte in the micro sampler, when breaking away from the contact, the electrolyte in the micro sampler was no longer flowed to can accurately reflect the pole piece that awaits measuring and absorbed the electrolyte of corresponding volume through the electrolyte absorbed amount in the micro sampler, and then further improved the test result precision, realize the quantitative calculation pole piece that awaits measuring and absorb the absorption rate of electrolyte.
Preferably, the microsampler of this embodiment is a capillary tube. The capillary tube is apt to directly draw up the electrolyte by capillary action. Further preferably, the micro-sampler is a transparent capillary tube, and it is easy to directly observe the change in the liquid level of the electrolyte in the capillary tube from the outside of the capillary tube.
In one embodiment, the microsampler is a capillary tube. The number of the capillaries may be one or two or more. Preferably, the number of capillaries is two or more. Before step (a), further comprising step (e): taking more than two capillaries, and calibrating the relative positions of the capillaries so that the liquid taking ends of the capillaries are mutually flush. Because the pole piece that awaits measuring is in the tiling state usually, can guarantee that the end of getting of each capillary all contacts with the pole piece that awaits measuring when getting the liquid end mutual parallel and level of more than two capillaries. Therefore, on one hand, the pole piece to be tested can absorb the electrolyte in more than two capillaries simultaneously, the situation that the electrolyte cannot be released due to the fact that part of the capillaries in more than two capillaries cannot be in contact with the pole piece to be tested is avoided, and the smooth operation of the infiltration test is ensured; on the other hand, more than two capillaries are used for carrying out the infiltration test, more than two final absorption rates can be obtained simultaneously through one test, so that the test time can be effectively shortened, and the precision of the test result can be improved after the averaging processing of more than two final absorption rates.
In one embodiment, in the step (e), when more than two capillaries are immersed in the electrolyte at the same time, the immersion depth of each capillary in the electrolyte is ensured to be the same, so as to ensure that the volumes of the electrolyte absorbed by each capillary are the same, thereby being beneficial to improving the accuracy of the test result.
The preset time of the embodiment refers to the total time of the electrode piece to be tested for completing the electrolyte absorption work. After a preset time, the micro-sampler is moved away to be separated from the contact state of the pole piece to be detected, so that the pole piece to be detected stops absorbing the electrolyte, and meanwhile, the micro-sampler stops releasing the electrolyte. At this time, the amount of the electrolyte absorbed in the microsampler becomes the final amount of the electrolyte absorbed. And the final absorption rate of the pole piece to be detected can be quantitatively calculated according to the ratio of the absorbed quantity to the preset time.
The pole piece infiltration testing method of the secondary battery of the embodiment of the invention also comprises the following steps (g) before the step (c): the amount of absorbed electrolyte in the microsampler is recorded a plurality of times before the predetermined period of time is reached, and an intermediate absorption rate is calculated from the ratio of the amount of absorbed electrolyte recorded each time to the corresponding time, to obtain a plurality of intermediate absorption rates accordingly. After the test operation is started and before the predetermined time period is reached, the absorbed electrolyte amount in the microsampler is recorded at a plurality of time points to correspondingly obtain the absorbed electrolyte amount in the microsampler. And then, calculating the intermediate absorption rate of the pole piece to be detected according to the ratio of the absorbed amount of each electrolyte to the corresponding time, and accordingly recording for multiple times to correspondingly obtain multiple intermediate absorption rates. Therefore, the mode of obtaining the middle absorption rates of a plurality of middle processes through calculation can be helpful for analyzing the change rule of the absorption rate of the pole piece to be detected in the infiltration test process, so that when different pole pieces to be detected are used for the infiltration test, the difference between different pole pieces to be detected can be compared, and data reference and guidance are provided for the corresponding improvement of the pole piece finished product.
In this embodiment, a step (d) is further included between the step (a) and the step (b): and removing the residual electrolyte on the outer wall of the micro-sampler. Since the micro-sampler can directly absorb the electrolyte only by being immersed in the electrolyte, the electrolyte is inevitably left on the outer wall of the micro-sampler. If the electrolyte remained on the outer wall of the micro-sampler is not removed, on one hand, when the micro-sampler is contacted with the pole piece to be detected, the electrolyte remained on the outer wall of the micro-sampler is absorbed by the pole piece to be detected, thereby influencing the speed of the pole piece to be detected for absorbing the electrolyte in the micro-sampler. The pole piece to be tested absorbs extra electrolyte, so that the absorption rate of the pole piece to be tested for absorbing the electrolyte in the micro sampler becomes slow, the preset time required when the electrolyte in the micro sampler reaches the preset absorbed amount is prolonged, the final absorption rate obtained by calculation is reduced, the precision of the calculation result is influenced, and the error exists in the test result. Therefore, after the electrolyte remained on the outer wall of the micro sampler is removed, the precision of the test result can be effectively improved, so that the more accurate electrolyte absorption rate of the pole piece to be tested is obtained; on the other hand, electrolyte can cover the surface of microsampler, when choosing for use from the outside to the electrolyte of microsampler by the absorbed dose when observing the mode, can receive remaining electrolyte on the outer wall to shelter from, measuring error's the condition appears easily, influences the precision of testing result.
In one embodiment, before the step (a), the method further comprises the step of manufacturing a pole piece to be tested: and cutting out the pole piece to be tested with a preset size from the pole piece finished product, and flatly placing the pole piece to be tested.
In one embodiment, the mechanical grabbing component is used to clamp the micro-sampler in the step (a) to perform the actions of sucking a predetermined amount of electrolyte and contacting with the pole piece to be tested, so that the stability of the micro-sampler is improved, and the compressive stress of the micro-sampler on the pole piece can be accurately controlled. Furthermore, in the step (a), a clamp is used for clamping the micro-sampler in advance, and then the mechanical grabbing component is used for clamping the clamp to drive the micro-sampler to perform actions of absorbing a preset amount of electrolyte and contacting with a pole piece to be detected, so that the working efficiency of grabbing the micro-sampler is improved, and the possibility of damage of the mechanical grabbing component to the micro-sampler is reduced.
In one embodiment, in step (c), the amount of absorption of the electrolyte in the microsampler is observed and recorded using an imaging means. Alternatively, the image pickup means includes a CCD (Charge coupled device) camera.
In one embodiment, step (c) is followed by step (f): get rid of remaining electrolyte in the microsampler, repeat step (a) to step (c) to reuse microsampler absorbs electrolyte, reduce the consumptive material cost, also avoid remaining electrolyte to influence the fluid absorption volume when follow-up repeated absorption electrolyte in the microsampler simultaneously, thereby avoid receiving the inaccurate condition that leads to the test result to appear great error because of follow-up test result of microsampler fluid absorption volume.
For better understanding of the present invention, the pole piece wetting test device 1 of the secondary battery according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 to 11.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a pole piece infiltration testing device 1 of the secondary battery. The testing device 1 is used for automatically testing the electrolyte absorption rate of the pole piece to be tested.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, a testing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mechanical grasping assembly 10 for grasping a microsampler 200. The mechanical grasping assembly 10 of the present embodiment includes a drive member and a gripping member 104 connected to the drive member. The driving means of the present embodiment includes a first linear guide 101, a second linear guide 102 perpendicular to the first linear guide 101, and a third linear guide 103 perpendicular to both the first linear guide 101 and the second linear guide 102, so that the holding means 104 can move freely within the three-dimensional coordinate system constructed by the first linear guide 101, the second linear guide 102, and the third linear guide 103, so that the holding means 104 is accurately positioned at a predetermined position and holds the micro-sampler 200 for a corresponding operation. In one example, the gripping member 104 of the present embodiment includes two jaws that can move toward and away from each other and a drive mechanism that drives the jaws to move.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the testing device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a reservoir assembly 20 for holding an electrolyte. The reservoir assembly 20 of this embodiment includes a holding tank for holding electrolyte. The holding member 104 can hold the micro-sampler 200 and move it to the receiving slot, and immerse the liquid-taking end of the micro-sampler 200 in the electrolyte contained in the receiving slot, so that the micro-sampler 200 can take up a predetermined amount of electrolyte. Then, the driving part can drive the clamping part 104 to synchronously drive the micro-sampler 200 to contact with the pole piece to be tested. The pole piece to be tested absorbs the electrolyte in the micro-sampler 200 under the capillary action.
Optionally, the accommodating groove of this embodiment includes a fixed groove 201 and a liftable groove 202 that is in sleeve joint with the fixed groove 201. The liftable groove body 202 is arranged in the fixed groove body 201. The fixed tank 201 is used for containing electrolyte. The liquid storage assembly 20 further comprises a lifting driver 203, and the lifting driver 203 can drive the lifting groove body 202 to lift along the depth direction of the fixed groove body 201. After the micro-sampler 200 continuously sucks the electrolyte from the liftable tank 202, the liquid level of the electrolyte in the liftable tank 202 is lowered. In order to ensure that the liquid level of the electrolyte in the liftable tank body 202 is maintained at the initial predetermined height, after the micro-sampler 200 finishes the electrolyte sucking work, the liftable tank body 202 is driven to descend by the lifting driver 203 to be immersed in the electrolyte contained in the fixed tank body 201. After the liftable tank body 202 descends, the electrolyte in the fixed tank body 201 flows into the liftable tank body 202 to compensate the electrolyte absorbed by the micro-sampler 200 in the liftable tank body 202, so that the liquid level in the liftable tank body 202 rises to the initial liquid level. Then, the liftable tank 202 is lifted again to wait for the next microsampler to absorb the electrolyte. Like this, the liquid level height of the electrolyte in the liftable cell body 202 can be kept at the initial predetermined height all the time to microsampler 200 keeps under the condition that the relative position with liftable cell body 202 does not change, and the degree of depth that microsampler 200 submerges in electrolyte does not change, is favorable to improving the uniformity that microsampler 200 absorbs the absorption capacity of electrolyte at every turn, effectively improves the precision of test result.
The fixing groove 201 of the present embodiment includes a convex pillar 201a disposed on the end surface of the notch. An operator can grasp the protruding column 201a by an external tool (e.g., tweezers) to quickly pick and place the fixing slot 201. The liftable tank 202 includes a main tank 202a and an overlapping portion 202b provided on a notch end of the main tank 202 a. A part of the overlapping portion 202b is bent and extends above the notch end face of the fixed tank body 201, so that in the depth direction of the fixed tank body 201, the overlapping portion 202b partially shields the notch end face of the fixed tank body 201. The stud 201a is disposed adjacent to the bridge 202 b. The elevating driver 203 is connected with the overlapping portion 202b so that the elevating driver 203 drives the main tank 202a located in the fixed tank 201 to ascend and descend from the outside of the fixed tank 201, thereby preventing the elevating driver 203 from interfering with the fixed tank 201. Alternatively, the lifting drive 203 may be a hydraulic telescopic cylinder, a pneumatic telescopic cylinder, an electric telescopic cylinder, or the like. The fixed tank body 201 and the liftable tank body 202 are both made of plastics, so that the situation that the purity of the electrolyte is not qualified due to corrosion of the electrolyte on the fixed tank body 201 or the liftable tank body 202 is avoided, and the accuracy of the absorption rate test result of the pole piece to be tested on the electrolyte is influenced.
The receiving tank of this embodiment further includes an outer tank 204. The fixed tank body 201 is arranged in the outer tank body 204, so that the outer tank body 204 can protect the fixed tank body 201, and the possibility that the fixed tank body 201 is collided by an external object to cause the overflow of the electrolyte is reduced. An operator can grasp the convex column 201a by an external tool (such as tweezers) to quickly take and place the fixing groove body 201 from the outer groove body 204. Optionally, the outer tank 204 is made of a metallic material.
The reservoir assembly 20 of this embodiment further includes a cap 205 and a cap driver 206. The cap 205 is connected to the output of the cap driver 206. The cover 205 is used to close or open the opening of the outer tank 204. The cover driver 206 can drive the cover 205 to rotate to cover or open the opening of the outer slot 204 to shield or expose the fixed slot 201 in the outer slot 204. When the micro-sampler 200 needs to draw up electrolyte, the cover 205 is in an open state. After the micro sampler 200 finishes absorbing the electrolyte and moves away or the immersion test is finished, the sealing cover 205 is in a closed state, so that the volatilization amount of the electrolyte in the fixed tank body 201 can be reduced, and impurities such as external dust can be prevented from flying into the electrolyte to reduce the purity of the electrolyte, so that the absorption rate test result precision of the pole piece to be tested on the electrolyte is adversely affected. In one example, the lid driver 206 is capable of driving the lid 205 in an elevating motion and a rotating motion. The lid driver 206 can drive the lid 205 to rotate to move the lid 205 over the opening of the outer tank 204 or away from the opening of the outer tank 204. When the lid 205 is moved over the opening of the outer tank 204, the lid driver 206 can drive the lid 205 down to close the opening of the outer tank 204 or drive the lid 205 up to open the opening of the outer tank 204. Optionally, the closure actuator 206 is an air cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. In another example, the lid driver 206 can drive the lid 205 in a rotational motion.

The data processing assembly 30 can automatically collect the preset amount, absorbed amount and preset time of the electrolyte in the micro-sampler 200 and automatically calculate through the collected data, so that manual reading recording and calculation are not needed, errors caused by manual operation are effectively avoided, and the calculation analysis work efficiency and calculation precision are improved.
In one embodiment, the data processing assembly 30 includes an image capture component 301. The image pickup part 301 is used for acquiring the absorbed amount of the electrolyte in the micro-sampler 200 contacting with the pole piece to be measured in real time.

In one example, the lighting assembly 40 includes a lifting bracket and a light source disposed on the lifting bracket. The height of the light source can be flexibly adjusted through the lifting support.
Referring to fig. 6, the test device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a carrier assembly 50. The carrier assembly 50 comprises a pole piece supporting plate 501 for supporting a pole piece to be tested and an electrolyte absorption part 502. The pole piece supporting plate 501 is used for supporting a pole piece to be tested. The pole piece support plate 501 has a plane with flatness meeting predetermined requirements. The pole piece that awaits measuring can guarantee self roughness when placing in above-mentioned plane, the difficult wrinkle or local uplift condition that appears effectively guarantees that micro sampler 200 is good with the pole piece contact state that awaits measuring, and micro sampler 200 acts on the compressive stress equilibrium on the pole piece that awaits measuring, is favorable to the pole piece that awaits measuring fully to absorb the electrolyte in micro sampler 200, reduces because the contact between micro sampler 200 and the pole piece that awaits measuring is inseparable and leads to the pole piece that awaits measuring to normally absorb the possibility of the electrolyte in micro sampler 200, improves the test result precision.
The electrolyte absorption member 502 of this embodiment can be used to absorb the electrolyte remaining in the microsampler 200 after the immersion test is completed, so that the same microsampler 200 can be reused to re-absorb a predetermined amount of electrolyte for further testing. Therefore, on one hand, the micro sampler 200 does not need to be replaced after the test is finished every time, and the working efficiency is improved; on the other hand, the influence of the residual electrolyte in the micro sampler 200 on the purity of the subsequently absorbed electrolyte or on the absorption capacity of the subsequently absorbed electrolyte is avoided, and the improvement of the precision of the test result is facilitated. In one example, a recess is provided on the pole piece support plate 501. The electrolyte absorbing member 502 is disposed in the concave portion. Alternatively, the electrolyte absorbing member 502 is a flexible absorbing member such as a sponge or a cotton sheet.
The carrier assembly 50 of this embodiment also includes a clamping member 503 for use with the pole piece support plate 501. The clamping component 503 can clamp the pole piece to be tested together with the pole piece supporting plate 501 to fix the pole piece to be tested, so as to prevent the position of the pole piece to be tested from moving and/or wrinkling. Therefore, on one hand, the pole piece to be tested is prevented from falling off from the pole piece bearing plate 501 to influence the test process; on the other hand, the situation that the contact area of the subsequent micro-sampler 200 and the pole piece to be tested and the contact area of the previous micro-sampler 200 and the pole piece to be tested are the same area due to the fact that the position of the pole piece to be tested moves is avoided, so that the situation that the absorption capacity of the pole piece to be tested on the electrolyte in the subsequent micro-sampler 200 is reduced or cannot be absorbed occurs, errors occur in the measurement result, and the precision of the measurement result is influenced; on the other hand, when the pole piece to be tested has a wrinkle, the contact state between the micro sampler 200 and the wrinkle area is not good enough, a part of the wrinkle area where the pole piece to be tested has a contact with the micro sampler 200, and the rest of the wrinkle area has no contact with the micro sampler 200, so that the absorption rate of the pole piece to be tested for absorbing the electrolyte is affected. In one example, the clamping member 503 includes a bead and a latch. The locking piece can enable the pressing strip to be switched between the pressing position and the opening position.
The carrier assembly 50 of this embodiment also includes a guide rail 504. The guide 504 includes a base and a slider 505 disposed on the base. The pole piece support plate 501 is disposed on the slider 505. Adjusting the position of slider 505 along guide 504 allows for the simultaneous adjustment of the position of pole piece support plate 501 to quickly and accurately adjust pole piece support plate 501 to a predetermined position. The carrier assembly 50 of this embodiment also includes a power unit. The power unit is used for automatically driving the sliding block 505 to move on the guide rail 504. Alternatively, the power unit is an electric telescopic cylinder, a pneumatic telescopic cylinder, a hydraulic telescopic cylinder or the like.
Referring to FIG. 7, the testing device 1 of the present embodiment further includes a calibration assembly 60. the calibration assembly 60 has a calibration plane 60a, and the calibration plane 60a is used for calibrating the liquid-extracting end of the micro-sampler 200 held by the holding member 104. The number of microsamplers 200 may be two or more. The access ends of two or more microsamplers 200 are calibrated by contact with the calibration flat 60 a. After the calibration is completed, the liquid-extracting ends of the two or more microsamplers 200 are flush with each other. Like this, because the pole piece that awaits measuring is in the tiling state usually, can guarantee that the end of getting of each micro sampler 200 all contacts with the pole piece that awaits measuring when the end of getting of two above micro sampler 200 is parallel and level each other. Therefore, on one hand, the pole piece to be tested can absorb the electrolyte in more than two microsamplers 200 at the same time, the situation that the electrolyte cannot be released because part of the microsamplers 200 in more than two microsamplers 200 cannot be in contact with the pole piece to be tested is avoided, and the smooth operation of the infiltration test is ensured; on the other hand, the more than two microsamplers 200 are used for carrying out the infiltration test, more than two final absorption rates can be obtained simultaneously through one test, so that the test time can be effectively shortened, and the precision of the test result can be improved after the more than two final absorption rates are averaged; on the other hand, when the two or more microsamplers 200 are immersed in the electrolyte, the depth of the liquid-taking end of each microsampler 200 immersed in the electrolyte can be ensured to be the same, so that the volume of the electrolyte absorbed by each microsampler 200 is ensured to be the same, and the accuracy of the test result is improved.
The calibration assembly 60 of the present embodiment includes a base 601 and a flexible board 602 disposed on the base 601. The surface of the flexible plate 602 facing away from the substrate 601 forms the alignment plane 60 a. Optionally, the flexible plate 602 is made of plastic or rubber. During calibration of the micro-sampler 200, the fluid-withdrawal end of the micro-sampler 200 may exert a compressive stress on the flexible plate 602. The flexible plate 602 itself may form a buffer protection for the liquid-extracting end of the micro-sampler 200, thereby avoiding the liquid-extracting end of the micro-sampler 200 from being cracked or bent under the reaction force of the compressive stress.
Referring to fig. 8, the testing device 1 of the present embodiment further includes a wiping member 70, and the wiping member 70 is used to wipe the outer wall of the microsampler 200 to remove the electrolyte attached to the outer wall. The wiping assembly 70 comprises two jaws 701 and a flexible wiping portion 702 provided on each jaw 701. Since the micro-sampler 200 needs to be immersed in the electrolyte to be able to directly suck the electrolyte, the electrolyte inevitably remains on the outer wall of the micro-sampler 200. If the electrolyte remaining on the outer wall of the micro-sampler 200 is not removed, on the one hand, when the micro-sampler 200 is in contact with the pole piece to be tested, the electrolyte remaining on the outer wall of the micro-sampler 200 is absorbed by the pole piece to be tested, thereby affecting the speed of the pole piece to be tested absorbing the electrolyte in the micro-sampler 200. Because the pole piece to be tested absorbs extra electrolyte, the absorption rate of the pole piece to be tested for absorbing the electrolyte in the micro sampler 200 becomes slow, so that the preset time required when the electrolyte in the micro sampler 200 reaches the preset absorbed amount is prolonged, the calculated absorption rate is reduced, the precision of the calculation result is influenced, and the error exists in the test result. Therefore, after the electrolyte remaining on the outer wall of the micro sampler 200 is removed, the precision of the test result can be effectively improved, so as to obtain more accurate electrolyte absorption rate of the pole piece to be tested; on the other hand, the electrolyte covers the outer surface of the micro-sampler 200, and when the amount of absorbed electrolyte in the micro-sampler 200 is observed from the outside of the imaging unit 301, the electrolyte may be blocked, which may cause measurement errors, and may affect the accuracy of the test result.
When the electrolyte on the outer wall of the micro-sampler 200 is wiped, the flexible wiping portion 702 does not scratch or damage the micro-sampler 200, and the structural integrity of the micro-sampler 200 is effectively ensured. In one example, the flexible wipe 702 can be made of sponge, cotton fabric, or cotton sheet, among others.
