Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the specific technical solutions of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following examples are illustrative of the application and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
In the following description reference is made to "some embodiments," "this embodiment," "an embodiment of the application," and examples, etc., which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is to be understood that "some embodiments" may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with one another without conflict.
If a similar description of "first/second" appears in the application document, the following description is added, in which the terms "first/second/third" are merely distinguishing between similar objects and not representing a particular ordering of the objects, it being understood that the "first/second/third" may be interchanged with a particular order or precedence, if allowed, so that embodiments of the application described herein may be practiced otherwise than as illustrated or described herein.
To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, an anode roll in the field of batteries will be described as an example.
(1) In the field of batteries, the anode roll is a rolled anode material that requires further processing to become an anode sheet. For example, the anode web is cut into anode sheets of a certain shape and size using a die cutting process.
(2) The laminated battery pole piece is an important link in the manufacturing process of the lithium battery, and mainly relates to the steps of dividing the coated positive pole piece and the coated negative pole piece according to the required size, and stacking the positive pole piece, the membrane, the negative pole piece and the membrane according to a specific sequence (usually the positive pole piece, the membrane, the negative pole piece and the membrane) to form a sandwich-like structure. A plurality of the sandwich structures are further overlapped to finally form the encapsulated battery cell.
(3) The coil stock unreeling is a key step in the manufacturing process of the lithium battery, particularly in the manufacturing process of the laminated battery pole piece, and mainly releases the coated anode and cathode materials from the winding drum for subsequent procedures such as punching, lamination and the like.
At present, in the previous procedure link of power battery production, for example, defects such as metal leakage, edge fold, pinhole breakage and the like of an anode coil are required to be detected before the anode coil is punched, on one hand, coating materials on the surface of an anode pole piece may fall off due to manual misoperation, production equipment failure or process design defects, and base metal materials leak out; on the other hand, as the manufacturing process of the laminated battery pole piece is different, the metal leakage area of the front side and the back side of the anode coil is continuously reduced along with the improvement of the unreeling speed of the anode coil, and the metal leakage area is difficult to identify by human eyes; on the other hand, due to the difference of nucleation energy barriers of the metal leakage area and the film area surface of the anode plate, the growth trend of sediment (such as lithium metal or other active substances) in the subsequent electrochemical reaction, the decomposition of electrolyte on the surfaces of the substrate and the film area, the consistency of the thickness of the micro-area of the cell and the like can be influenced, so that the overall stability and reliability of the battery are reduced. The existing optical scheme does not have the detection capability of the related detection items before punching, particularly the detection area precision of the metal leakage detection items is high, and the detection rate of the metal leakage detection items cannot be guaranteed in a hundred percent, so that the metal leakage problem of the anode coil stock is a key point and a difficult point in a previous procedure link of power battery production.
Based on the above, the embodiment of the application provides a method and a system for detecting a coil stock, wherein the method for detecting the coil stock is applied to a visual host computer, on one hand, through the fact that an intersection area exists in the acquisition visual field range of at least two line scanning cameras on a detection station and the range of the union area is larger than the width of the coil stock, line scanning images acquired by the at least two line scanning cameras can be ensured to completely cover the coil stock, so that the condition of missing shooting of part of the area of the coil stock can be avoided; on the other hand, the line scanning images collected by each line scanning camera are subjected to defect detection by the visual upper computer, so that the condition of missing detection of partial areas of the coiled material can be ensured.
The embodiment of the application provides an overall hardware layout for detecting coil stock, as shown in fig. 1, the overall hardware comprises a light source 11, a line scanning camera 12, an industrial personal computer 13, a central control display 14, a controller 15, an encoder 16 and a marking machine 17, wherein:
the size of the light source 11 can be selected according to the requirement, and the imaging consistency can be effectively ensured by selecting the light source with high brightness and good uniformity; the line scan camera 12 is used for exposing line by line according to the running speed and the beat of the coil stock 18 to form a complete line scan image meeting the size requirement.
The industrial personal computer 13 is used as an image processing terminal in the system, and a core computing model is arranged on the industrial personal computer 13 and can be adapted to various operating systems so as to meet the requirement of the operation of upper computer software in various development languages.
The central control display 14 is used for sorting and summarizing the processing results output by the industrial personal computer 13, arranging and displaying the processing results after graphic operation, linking various integrated functions, and interacting with user operation at the front end interface.
The controller 15 can interact with the industrial personal computer 13, for example, load the control instructions of the industrial personal computer into the memory at any time for storage and execution. The method is mainly responsible for carrying out distance calculation, and marks the coil stock through a certain distance control marking machine after receiving an alarm signal sent by an industrial personal computer. The controller 15 may be a programmable logic controller (Programmable Logic Controller, PLC).
The encoder 16 is generally pressed on the unreeling roller, and the rice pressing wheel is driven to rotate together in the advancing process of the coil stock, and pulse signals can be output when the encoder rotates for a certain angle, so that the line scanning camera is triggered to shoot one line of image data of the coil stock, and therefore the shooting frequency of the line scanning camera and the moving speed of the coil stock are unified, and the line scanning camera is ensured to stably output line scanning images at different speeds.
The marking machine 17 can be driven by a motor to paste the self-adhesive on the position where the coil stock has defects, so as to mark the defects, and prompt the following procedures to pay attention to avoiding and processing.
The embodiment of the application provides a coil stock detection method, which is applied to a visual host computer, as shown in fig. 2, and the coil stock detection method can comprise the following steps of S101 and S102, wherein:
Step S101, respectively acquiring line scanning images of at least two line scanning cameras on a detection station, which are respectively acquired by the coil stock; the at least two line scanning cameras have intersection areas for the acquisition visual field range of the coil stock, and the range of the union areas is larger than the width of the coil stock;
At least two line scanning cameras on the detection station are used for respectively acquiring line scanning images of the coil stock. The vision host computer is an important component of the machine vision system, typically a computer or dedicated device (e.g., an industrial personal computer) for controlling and managing the entire machine vision system, and may receive image data from an image acquisition device (e.g., a line scan camera), process and analyze the image data. The working mode of the line scanning camera is different from that of a common area array camera, the line scanning camera scans the coil stock in a moving state line by line, only one line of image data is collected at a time, and a complete line scanning image is obtained after the image data are spliced.
In some embodiments, at least two line scanning cameras on the detection station are used for photographing the coil stock, respective line scanning images are correspondingly obtained, and the visual upper computer is used for splicing the respective line scanning images of the at least two line scanning cameras to obtain an image which completely covers the coil stock, wherein the line scanning images corresponding to the two adjacent line scanning cameras have intersecting areas.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the at least two line scanning cameras may be two line scanning cameras, three line scanning cameras, four line scanning cameras, and the like. The number of line scan cameras can be determined by the width of the web. For example, if the width of the coil stock is 240 millimeters (mm), four line scan cameras with a total field of view range of 320mm (the field of view range of each line scan camera is 80 mm) are used to photograph the coil stock, so that the total field of view range of the four line scan cameras is larger than the width of the coil stock, the line scan images collected by the four line scan cameras can be ensured to completely cover the coil stock, and the condition of missing photographing in partial areas of the coil stock can be avoided.
Step S102, performing defect detection on the line scan images acquired by each line scan camera respectively, correspondingly obtaining a defect detection result of each line scan image, and sending the defect detection result to a controller.
Here, the PLC is a digital arithmetic operation electronic system which employs a programmable memory in which instructions for performing operations such as logical operations, sequence control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations are stored, and controls various types of mechanical devices or production processes through digital or analog input and output. The working principle of the PLC is based on input, output and central processing, and works in a 'sequential scanning and continuous circulation' mode. The automatic production process monitoring, adjusting and optimizing device can realize the monitoring, adjusting and optimizing of the automatic production process through programming, so that the production efficiency and quality are improved.
The defect detection result of the line scan image can be that the coil stock is defective or not, and whether the line scan image is defective or not is detected by the visual upper computer, the defect detection result of the line scan image can be sent to the PLC. For example, if the visual upper computer detects that the line scan image has no defects, the visual upper computer sends defect detection results of no defects of the coil stock to the PLC; if the visual upper computer detects that the line scanning image has defects, the visual upper computer sends a defect detection result that the coil stock has defects to the PLC.
In some embodiments, since the area of the coil stock collected by each line scanning camera is different, defect detection needs to be performed on the line scanning image corresponding to the coil stock area collected by each line scanning camera, so that the condition of missing detection in a part of the area of the coil stock can be avoided.
In some embodiments, after step S102, after the PLC receives the defect detection result that the line scan image sent by the vision host computer has a defect, the PLC determines the line scan image having the defect first, and then marks the coil stock area where the defect is located in the line scan image, thereby realizing quality control and tracing of the coil stock on the automated production line.
In the embodiment of the application, on one hand, the intersection area exists in the acquisition visual field range of the coil stock by at least two line scanning cameras on the detection station, and the range of the union area is larger than the width of the coil stock, so that the line scanning images acquired by the at least two line scanning cameras can be ensured to completely cover the coil stock, and the condition of missing shooting of part of the area of the coil stock can be avoided; on the other hand, the line scanning images collected by each line scanning camera are subjected to defect detection by the visual upper computer, so that the condition of missing detection of partial areas of the coiled material can be ensured.

The strip light source and the array light source can generate high-intensity light, and the illumination is uniformly distributed, so that the coil stock obtains clear and bright illumination effect. Such uniform illumination helps to reduce shadows and reflections, thereby improving image quality. It should be noted that, the light source in the embodiment of the present application may be any of the above light sources.
The trigger signal may be a pulse signal sent by the PLC or a pulse signal sent by the encoder. Next, a case where the trigger signal is a pulse signal from the PLC will be described.
In some embodiments, firstly, during the movement of the unreeling roller, an encoder on the shaft end of the unreeling roller is driven to synchronously move, and the encoder sends a pulse signal generated during the movement to a visual upper computer; then, after the vision upper computer receives the pulse signal, the light source on the detection station is controlled to polish the coil stock in a moving state (for example, the moving speed is 80 meters per minute (m/min)) in response to the pulse signal, and thus, the light source provides proper environment brightness for the line scanning camera to photograph the coil stock.

In some embodiments, at least two line scanning cameras are used for photographing the coil stock in a moving state, and each line scanning camera is arranged at a different position of the detection station, so that the photographed coil stock areas are different, and therefore, the at least two line scanning cameras on the detection station need to be controlled by the vision host computer to photograph the coil stock at the same time, and the condition that the part area of the coil stock is missed in photographing can be avoided.
Step S1013, controlling the at least two line scan cameras to output line scan images at the same time when the photographing times are greater than the preset times.
Here, the preset number of times may be a value preset according to the size of the roll, for example, 500 times, 600 times, 800 times, 1000 times, and the like. Under the condition that the size of the coil stock and the scanning width of the line scanning camera are given, the photographing times of the line scanning camera are in direct proportion to the length of the coil stock, so that under the condition that the photographing times of the line scanning camera are larger than the preset times, the line scanning camera can be ensured to output complete line scanning images of the coil stock.
In some embodiments, if the preset number of times is equal to 500, after each line scan camera collects 500 lines of image data, the vision host computer controls each line scan camera to simultaneously output a line scan image including 500 lines of image data.
According to the embodiment of the application, on one hand, at least two line scanning cameras on the detection station are controlled by the visual host computer to simultaneously photograph the coil stock in a moving state, so that the condition of missing photographing of part of the area of the coil stock can be avoided; on the other hand, under the condition that the photographing times are larger than the preset times, at least two line scanning cameras are controlled by the vision upper computer to output line scanning images at the same time, and conditions are provided for the line scanning cameras to stop collecting line scanning images of the coil stock.
In some embodiments, each of the detection stations includes a line scan camera and a light source; wherein the long side of the visual field of the line scanning camera is parallel to the width of the coil stock; a first preset angle exists between the visual field direction of the line scanning camera and the normal line of the coil stock; a second preset angle exists between the polishing direction of the light source and the normal line of the coil stock.
The positional relationship between the line scan camera and the light source of the single detection station will be described with reference to fig. 3 and 4, wherein a first preset angle 25 exists between the view direction of the line scan camera 21 and the normal 24 of the coil 22 as shown in fig. 3; a second preset angle 26 exists between the shining direction of the light source 23 and the normal 24 of the coil 22, and the first preset angle 25 is smaller than the second preset angle 26. As shown in fig. 4, the long sides 30 of the field of view of the line scan cameras 31, 32, 33 and 34 are parallel to the width of the web 22.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, the first preset angle 25 between the view direction of the line scanning camera 21 and the normal 24 of the coil 22 is smaller than the second preset angle 26 between the light striking direction of the light source 23 and the normal 24 of the coil 22, and the angle between the light striking direction of the light source and the normal of the coil is larger, which is helpful to reduce the shadow generated on the surface of the coil, and the angle between the view direction of the line scanning camera and the normal of the coil is smaller, so that the illumination area in the view of the line scanning camera is more concentrated, and the quality of the line scanning image collected by the line scanning camera can be improved.
In the embodiment of the application, the long side of the visual field of the line scanning camera is parallel to the width of the coil stock, so that the line scanning image acquired by the line scanning camera can be ensured to completely cover the coil stock.
In some embodiments, the coil stock is a lithium electrode sheet, and the detection stations include a front detection station and a back detection station; the front detection station is used for detecting the front of the lithium electrode slice; the back detection station is used for detecting the back of the lithium electrode slice; wherein, each detection station is provided with two brackets; two line scanning cameras are arranged on each support, a gap with a preset area exists between the two line scanning cameras, and the area of each line scanning camera is larger than that of the gap; four line scanning cameras on each detection station are arranged in a staggered mode.

For example, there is a gap 35 between the line scan camera 31 and the line scan camera 33, a gap 36 between the line scan camera 32 and the line scan camera 34, and the area of the gap 35 or 36 is smaller than the area of either line scan camera on the front face detection station.
In the embodiment of the application, on one hand, the front and the back of the lithium electrode slice are detected by adopting the front detection station and the back detection station respectively, so that the comprehensive detection of the lithium electrode slice is realized, and the performance and the safety of the battery are improved; on the other hand, through setting up four line scanning cameras on front detection station and the back detection station respectively and staggering each other and arranging, can ensure that the line that four line scanning cameras gathered sweeps the image and can cover the coil stock completely.

Step S1121, controlling two line scanning cameras on the first front detection station to simultaneously photograph the coiled material;
In some embodiments, because the two line scanning cameras on the first front detection station are located on the same support and are arranged at intervals, the vision upper computer is required to control the two line scanning cameras on the first front detection station to photograph the coiled material at the same time, so that the condition that the part of the area of the coiled material is missed can be avoided.
And step S1122, controlling two line scanning cameras on the second front detection station to simultaneously photograph the coiled material.
In some embodiments, because the two line scanning cameras on the second front detection station are located on the same support and are arranged at intervals, the two line scanning cameras on the second front detection station need to be controlled by the vision upper computer to photograph the coiled material at the same time, so that the condition that the part of the area of the coiled material is missed can be avoided.
In the embodiment of the application, the two line scanning cameras on the two front detection stations are respectively controlled by the visual upper computer to simultaneously photograph the coil stock, so that the condition of missing photographing of part of the area of the coil stock can be avoided.
In some embodiments, the defect detection includes a metal leakage detection of the lithium electrode sheet; the implementation of the "performing defect detection on the line scan image acquired by each line scan camera in step S102, and correspondingly obtaining the defect detection result of each line scan image" may include the following steps S1021 to S1026, where:
Step S1021, performing binarization processing on the line scan image acquired by each line scan camera respectively to correspondingly obtain a binary image of each line scan image;
Here, the line scan image may be a Red Green Blue (RGB) color image. The binarization process is a process of setting the RGB value of each pixel point of a color image to 0 (black) or 255 (white), so that the original color range is changed from 256 colors to 2 black and white colors, and only black and white colors are formed in the binarized image.
In some embodiments, before the binarization processing of the line scan image, the visual upper computer may perform gray scale processing on the line scan image to obtain a gray scale image; then, the pixel value corresponding to each pixel point in the gray image is scanned, the pixel value smaller than the preset threshold value is set to 0, and the pixel value larger than or equal to the preset threshold value is set to 255, so that a binary image of the line scan image is obtained.
Step S1022, determining a first connection area where white pixels in each binary image are connected to each other; the white pixel points represent pixel points corresponding to a film region in the binary image;
here, the first communication region may be an image region composed of white pixel points having the same pixel value and adjacent in position in the binary image.
Step S1023, performing expansion operation on the first communication area corresponding to each binary image to correspondingly obtain a second communication area;
Here, the expansion operation may be implemented by dilate functions. In image processing, the range of a white highlight region in an image can be enlarged by a dilation operation so as to more accurately locate and identify a defect.
In some embodiments, the visual upper computer performs expansion processing on the first communication area corresponding to each binary image, fills up a blank part in the first communication area, enhances image features in the first communication area, and enlarges a white highlight area in the image, so as to correspondingly obtain the second communication area.
Step S1024, determining the position of each second communication area in the corresponding line scan image;
In some embodiments, since the second communication region is a sub-region in the line scan image, it is necessary to convert the coordinates of the second communication region into a coordinate system of the line scan image by the vision host computer so that the second communication region can correctly correspond to the corresponding position in the line scan image.
Step S1025, screening a third communication area from the second communication area; the third communication region characterizes a region possibly having a metal leakage defect;
here, because the second communication area is an area corresponding to the film area of the coil stock, and the metal leakage defect may exist on the film area, the noise in the second communication area can be removed by the visual upper computer through corrosion operation, so that the third communication area which may have the metal leakage defect is more accurately screened, and whether the third communication area has the defect is more accurately positioned.
Step S1026, determining the defect detection result of the third communication area corresponding to the area larger than the preset metal leakage area as metal leakage.
In some embodiments, the visual host computer compares the area of the third communication region with the preset metal leakage area, and if the area of the third communication region is larger than the preset metal leakage area, it may be determined that the third communication region has a metal leakage defect.
In the embodiment of the application, on one hand, the accuracy of the first communication area can be improved by determining the first communication area by the visual upper computer according to the white pixel points in the binary image corresponding to the line scanning image; on the other hand, by employing the expansion operation, it is possible to enhance the image feature in the first communication area and enlarge the white highlight area in the image, so that the defect is more accurately located and identified.
In some embodiments, the implementation of step S1025 "screen the third communication area from the second communication area" may include steps S1251 to S1253, where:
step S1251, determining the number of pixel points in each second communication area and the pixel value corresponding to each pixel point;
Here, the number of pixel points in the second connected region and the pixel value corresponding to each pixel point may be determined by traversing all the pixel points in the second connected region.
Step S1252, determining, as a target pixel, a pixel having a pixel value greater than a second preset value in the second communication area, if the number of the pixel points is greater than the first preset value;
here, the first preset value may be any suitable value, for example, 25, 40, etc. The second preset value may be any suitable value, e.g., 205, 234, etc. By setting the first preset value, it is possible to exclude those second connected regions where the number of pixels is too small, possibly constituted by noise or extraneous details. By setting the second preset value, the pixel point with a higher pixel value can be screened out.
Step S1253, determining the third communication area based on the target pixel point.
Here, after the target pixel points are determined, the communication region may be formed based on the target pixel points.
In the embodiment of the application, the second communication region which does not meet the conditions can be eliminated by combining the number of the pixel points and the pixel value to screen, so that the accuracy of the third communication region is improved.
In some embodiments, the defect detection comprises asperity detection of the lithium electrode sheet; the implementation of the step S102 of performing defect detection on the line scan image acquired by each line scan camera, and correspondingly obtaining the defect detection result of each line scan image, may further include the following steps S1121 and S1122, where:
Step S1121, classifying each line scan image by a pre-trained classifier, and correspondingly obtaining a fourth communication region; the fourth communication region represents a region where an concave-convex point possibly exists;
Here, the pre-trained classifier may be a deep learning model (e.g., convolutional neural network) for identifying potential regions of asperities. The pre-trained classifier may be obtained by training a classifier using images with the concave-convex points labeled.
In some embodiments, the implementation of step S1121 "categorize each of the line scan images by a pre-trained categorizer, which corresponds to obtaining a fourth connected region" may further include steps S1211 to S1214, where:
step S1211, performing semantic segmentation on each line scan image, so as to obtain a segmented region of each line scan image correspondingly;
Here, each line scan image may be semantically segmented by any one of a full convolution network (Fully Convolutional Networks, FCNs), a deep learning model (Deeplab), a Transformer-based semantic segmenter (SegFormer), corresponding to segmented regions resulting in line scan images, each line scan image may be divided into different regions, each region may correspond to a different portion of the lithium electrode sheet, e.g., a normal region, a region that may contain defects, etc.
Step S1212, extracting features of the segmented regions of each line scan image, and correspondingly obtaining features of each segmented region;
Here, in the detection of the lithium electrode sheet, it may be necessary to pay attention to specific features related to the concave-convex point defect, for example, local brightness variation, edge irregularities, and the like. Therefore, feature extraction needs to be performed on the segmented region of each line scan image, and features of each segmented region are correspondingly obtained.
The feature extraction method for the segmented region of the line scan image may include, but is not limited to, passing through a direction gradient histogram (Histogram of Oriented Gradient, HOG), a local binary pattern (Local Binary Pattern, LBP), and the like. For example, by HOG, the segmented region is divided into small connected regions, then the gradient or edge direction histograms of each pixel in the connected regions are collected, and finally these histograms are combined to obtain multiple features.
Step S1213, classifying the features of each of the segmented regions by the pre-trained classifier, to obtain a classification result;
Here, the pre-trained classifier may be a convolutional neural network (Convnext), a residual network (Resnet), or the like. In some embodiments, the extracted features of each segmented region are input into a pre-trained classifier, which classifies the features of each segmented region and outputs a classification result. The classification result may be a probability value or a class label indicating whether the segmented region contains a bump defect.
Step S1214, determining a segmentation region corresponding to the classification result as the fourth communication region when the classification result indicates that the lithium electrode sheet has the concave-convex point defect.
According to the embodiment of the application, the concave-convex point defects on the lithium electrode slice can be more accurately identified and the range of the concave-convex point defects can be determined by combining the semantic segmentation with the pre-trained classifier.
In step S1122, if the confidence coefficient of the fourth connected region is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that the defect detection result of the line scan image corresponding to the fourth connected region is an uneven point.
Here, the confidence reflects the likelihood or confidence that the region is a concave-convex point. In some embodiments, the confidence of the fourth connected region related to the concave-convex point may be calculated by a confidence calculation formula.
In the embodiment of the application, on one hand, the visual upper computer classifies each line-scanned image through a pre-trained classifier to obtain the fourth communication area possibly provided with the concave-convex points, so that the effective classification of the line-scanned image of the area possibly provided with the concave-convex points is realized; on the other hand, the defect detection result of the line scan image corresponding to which the confidence coefficient is larger than the preset threshold value is determined as the concave-convex point through the visual upper computer, so that the accuracy and the efficiency of concave-convex point identification are improved.
In some embodiments, the defect detection results include a first result for characterizing the coil stock as acceptable and a second result for characterizing the coil stock as unacceptable, the detection method further including the following steps S111 and S112, wherein:
Step S111, when the defect detection result indicates that the coil stock has no defect, the first result is sent to a controller;
Step S112, when the defect detection result indicates that the coil stock has a defect, sending the second result to the controller.
In the embodiment of the application, the visual upper computer sends the qualified or unqualified coil stock results to the controller, thereby realizing the quality control and tracing of the coil stock on an automatic production line.
The pole piece of the power battery is one of important components of the power battery, and the quality and the performance of the pole piece directly determine the quality and the safety of the power battery. The pole piece of the power battery is composed of a base material and a coating material, wherein the base material of the anode pole piece is copper foil with the thickness of about 8 micrometers (mum), the coating material is an active medium with the thickness of about 12 micrometers, and the anode coil stock is formed by the processes of stirring, coating, rolling, slitting and the like of slurry. During the production process of the process, the coil stock may have metal leakage, edge wrinkles, pinhole breakage, concave-convex points, wavy edges, excessive design of the negative electrode (Overhang) and other depressions. Therefore, the quality detection is carried out on the power battery pole piece in the production process, and the consistency is very important to ensure.
For the defect detection of the coil stock, a visual inspection person is initially arranged to conduct manual spot inspection, and can conduct spot inspection on the produced coil stock through sampling and spot inspection on two surface film areas of a section of coil stock through an optical microscope. However, with the improvement of production efficiency of the production line, the defects of low manual visual inspection efficiency and high omission factor appear, so that a visual inspection system is introduced, a black-and-white line scanning camera is adopted, and a line scanning light source is matched for polishing, so that the full inspection of the coiled material pole piece is completed.
The current visual detection system adopts a black-and-white line scanning camera to clean the light in cooperation with a line scanning light source, so that the full detection of the coil stock is completed, but the coating material in the film area of the coil stock is uneven or is not coated due to the process change of the coil stock, so that the general black-and-white line scanning camera cannot distinguish the metal leakage in the film area of the coil stock well to obtain the gray value under the condition of the line scanning light source dark field. In addition, with the improvement of the coil stock process, the precision of the detection requirement on the surface metal leakage of the coil stock is improved, the current optical detection scheme cannot meet the detection specification requirement, and the copper foil substrate and the film region can not be distinguished only through gray values.
The embodiment of the application is mainly used for solving the detection problem of leakage of the surface metal material of the anode plate film region caused by manual misoperation, production equipment failure or process design defects in the previous process link of power battery production. The embodiment of the application provides a visual detection route for detecting the surface characteristics of the front and back surfaces of a coil stock by multi-camera splicing based on an industrial visual detection technology, solves the problem that the existing optical visual scheme cannot effectively detect metal leakage on the surface of the coil stock and distinguishes a copper foil substrate from a film region, and further improves the quality and performance of a battery pole piece.
Aiming at the high-precision detection requirement of the metal leakage area of the power battery pole piece, the embodiment of the application provides an optical method for improving the visual detection precision by multi-camera splicing. A plurality of 16K (K represents the resolution of a line scanning camera) color TDI line scanning cameras (TIME DELAY Integration LINE SCAN CAMERA, a time delay Integration line scanning camera) are adopted at a metal leakage detection visual station at the unreeling position of the anode coil stock, and a high-resolution lens and a light source are matched for lighting and photographing. Because the surface of the film area material of the coil stock is smooth and reflective, the copper foil material of the substrate is rough, under the condition of dark field lighting, the light reflected by the film area does not enter the camera lens image of the line scanning camera and is represented as dark black in the film area, and the diffuse reflection of the copper foil of the substrate is represented as bright red in the image. And the width of the coil stock covered by the camera view field is ensured through multi-camera splicing, the single-pixel precision of the camera is improved, and the theoretical detection precision reaches 0.01 millimeter per pixel (mm/pix). According to the embodiment of the application, the visual field of the line scanning camera is ensured to cover the width of the anode coil stock through multi-camera splicing, and the single-pixel precision of the line scanning camera is improved. Visual detection stations are respectively arranged on the front side and the back side of the anode coil stock, a 16K color TDI line scanning camera is adopted according to the surface defect detection item characteristics, metal leakage detection precision, the width of the coil stock and the size of an installation space of the coil stock, lens focal lengths meeting the required visual field and precision of the camera are calculated, and the working distance meets the space arrangement and the number of the cameras on site.

Each line scanning camera shoots an anode coil material area; and performing image processing on the line scan image corresponding to each photographed coil stock area through an algorithm, identifying a film area of the line scan image, performing image processing on some columns such as binarization, and detecting a metal leakage area and an area of the film area.
Aiming at the anode pole pieces manufactured by different processes, two sets of polishing schemes (for example, front polishing of the anode coil stock and back polishing of the anode coil stock) are designed according to the embodiment of the application, so that the algorithm detection requirement is met, and the metal leakage area of the film area is accurately grasped and the area is detected. The embodiment of the application effectively solves the problems that the metal leakage of the anode coil stock is difficult to detect, the detection labor consumption is high and the like in the production process, thereby greatly reducing the leakage and killing of the metal leakage defects, and further achieving the purposes of reducing the product risk and improving the defect detection rate and the product quality.

As shown in fig. 3, the included angle between the direction of the visual field photographed by each line scanning camera 21 and the normal 24 of the coil 22 is a first preset angle 25, the long side of the visual field of the line scanning camera is parallel to the width of the coil, the included angle between the light source 23 and the normal 24 of the coil 22 is a second preset angle 26, and the first preset angle 25 is smaller than the second preset angle 26. As shown in fig. 7, each vision station is provided with a dust-proof cover 61 of the line scanning camera, a dust-proof blowing mechanism 62 and a light source 63 (for example, a line scanning strip light source), wherein two line scanning cameras on each detection station are placed in the same dust-proof cover 61 of the line scanning camera, and the dust-proof blowing mechanism 62 is used for preventing dust from accumulating at a lens in the unreeling process of the roll material, so that the imaging effect of the line scanning camera is affected.
