本申请的实施例中的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
电池单体可以包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极片、负极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极片和负极片之间移动来工作。正极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,未涂敷正极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,未涂敷负极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为石墨、碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔膜的材质可以为聚丙烯(polypropylene,PP)或聚乙烯(polyethylene,PE)等。此外,电极组件可以是卷绕式结构,也可以是叠片式结构,本申请实施例并不限于此。
目前,在电池例如锂电池的极片生产过程中,可以利用射线的穿透和吸收的原理,检测极片表面涂布的材料的重量,得到极片表面的面密度的检测结果,以评价涂布一致性。具体地,射线穿过极片表面上涂布的被测材料后,射线强度会衰减,通过测定穿过该材料的射线束强度,可以计算出被测材料的面密度。
应理解,本申请实施例中所述的极片,包括正极极片、负极极片、正极集流体、负极集流体、隔膜材料等锂电行业的薄片状材料,本申请实施例中的极片检测的方法,可以用来检测上述任一类型的极片。
例如,如图1所示的面密度仪,放射源和探测器沿着极片100的幅宽方向即宽度方向X运动,也称横向运动;极片100沿其长度方向Y运动,也称纵向运动。放射源沿方向X往复运动,以对极片100的表面进行扫描。从图1中可以看出,由于横向和纵向的速度叠加,所有的检测点在极片100的表面上的扫描轨迹呈“Z”字形。
往返扫描一次极片100走过的距离S=2*L*V1/V2,其中,L为极片100的宽度,V1极片100的运行速度,例如5-150m/min,V2为面密度仪的扫描速度,例如1-24m/min,随着极片100涂布的速度的增加,面密度仪往返扫描一次极片100所走过的距离S越大,检测的覆盖率越低,极片100表面涂布的材料重量的波动不能被及时被检测和反馈。
目前,用于检测穿过极片100的射线主要采用气体电离室,电离室收集射线需要一定的积分时间,面密度的横向分辨率等于射线光斑的横向尺寸与电离室积分时间内移动的距离之和,面密度的扫描速度的提高会使得横向分辨率会恶化,横向分辨率越差,越不利于检测极片100在横向小范围内的面密度值的波动。
另外,极片100本身的运动会产生震动,面密度仪的移动也会产生震动,为防止面密度仪刮破极片100,放射源与探测器之间的间距较大,例如15-40mm,空气的重量、温湿度、粉尘等因素的变化会给测量系统带来误差。
可以使用编码器记录极片100及扫描速度,通过时间拟合计算得出极片100对应位置上的面密度值,然后反馈涂布模头。由于编码器测量速度的误差,计算的极片100的面密度值存在位置误差,反馈给涂布模头的调节部的对应位置的面密度值也存在误差,影响对涂布重量的调节的判断。
这些因素均影响极片面密度检测效果和一致性的提升。为此,本申请提供了一种高分辨率、高精度、实时性全检面密度测量系统,采用二维成像的方式代替小光斑检测和扫描,实现了极片面密度的实时全检,横向分辨率能够精确至1-20mm,例如5mm和10mm。并且,由于本申请的放射源和探测器是静态的无需移动,实现静态面扫描,消除了上述动态扫描中的位置的计算误差和空气变化引起的测量误差。面密度值及其对应的极片上的物理位置、以及涂布模头的调节部之间一一对应,没有位置误差,还能够提高闭环反馈的实时性,进而提升极片涂布的一致性。
图2至图4示出了本申请实施例的一种极片检测的设备200。其中,图2是设备200的立体示意图,图3是设备200的俯视图,图4是设备200的侧视图。
如图2所示,设备200包括放射机构210和探测机构220,探测机构220和放射机构210相对设置在极片100沿其厚度方向Z的两侧。其中,放射机构210用于向极片100发出射线,射线沿极片100的宽度方向X设置并覆盖极片100,且沿极片100的长度方向Y对极片100进行扫描;探测机构220用于检测从极片100透射的信号,该信号 用于检测极片100的表面涂布的材料的面密度。
可见,在本申请实施例中,极片检测的设备200利用射线对极片100进行面密度检测,放射机构210发出的射线沿极片100的宽度方向X设置并覆盖该极片100,且沿该极片100的长度方向Y对该极片100进行扫描,从而探测机构220能够根据从该极片100透射的信号,检测极片100表面涂布的材料的面密度。由于该射线覆盖极片100的宽度方向X,实现了对极片100的面扫描,可以获得极片100宽度方向X上的面密度的二维分布情况,相比于单点检测的方式,极大地提高了检测精度和采样率。
放射机构210发出的射线,例如可以是X射线束或者β射线束,穿透力强且易于获取。X射线的功率的范围例如为200mci至5000mci,优选地,可以为1000mci;β射线的功率的范围例如为12w至20kw,优选地,可以为500kw。当X射线束或者β射线束的功率位于上述相应范围时,能够满足极片100检测的需求,且降低了功耗,减少了对极片100造成的伤害。
放射机构210发出的射线穿透极片100后能量衰减,照射极片100的射线的强度与极片100透射的信号的强度之间例如满足
Figure PCTCN2022115848-appb-000001
其中,I 0为放射机构210发出的用于照射极片100的射线的强度,I为极片100透射的信号的强度,λ为材料的质量吸收系数,m为极片100的面密度。探测机构220接收极片100透射的信号,并输出对应的电流信号,该电流信号经过放大器的放大后,得到高信噪比的电压信号,该电压信号通过ADC转换为数字信号,从而得到极片100的检测数据,对该检测数据进行数据处理后,可以的到极片100的面密度在宽度方向X上的分布情况。可见,极片100透射的信号强度的对数与面密度成反比,利用射线对极片100进行面密度检测,易于实现且准确性高。
在一种实现方式中,设备200还包括用于固定放射机构210和探测机构220的支架230。例如,如图5所示,支架230上设置有窗口231,窗口231垂直于长度方向Y,探测机构220和放射机构210分别固定在窗口231上相对的两个边缘且具有间隔,以使极片100经由间隔从放射机构210和探测机构220之间穿过。采用“回”形支架230固定探测机构220和放射机构210,结构简单且稳定性强。
在极片100的厚度方向Z上,探测机构220和放射机构210之间的距离G小于或等于15mm,例如为10mm,厚度方向Z垂直于宽度方向X和长度方向Y。距离G较远会影响探测机构220接收到的信号质量,距离G较近又会影响极片100在探测机 构220和放射机构210之间的运行,当距离G位于上述范围时,既为极片及其他部件比如准直器等提供了足够的空间,又保证了探测机构220接收到的信号质量,减小了空气质量、温湿度、粉尘环境等造成的检测误差。
支架230的材料例如可以是大理石等,由于大理石材料无应力变形,线性膨胀系数小,因此稳定性较好。
在一种实现方式中,如图2至图4所示,设备200还包括涂布机构240,涂布机构240用于向极片100的表面涂布材料。因此,设备200能够实现对极片100的一边涂布一边检测。
在一种实现方式中,如图2至图4所示,设备200还包括第一过辊250和第二过辊260,第一过辊250和第二过辊260分别设置在支架230沿长度方向Y的两侧,第一过辊250和第二过辊260用于承载极片100。第一过辊250和第二过辊260与支架230平行,且在厚度方向Z上的水平高度一致,保证从第一过辊250和第二过辊260表面穿过的极片100与放射机构210和探测机构220保持平行,且使极片100在宽度方向X上居中于放射机构210和探测机构220的表面。
通过第一过辊250和第二过辊260,对极片100位于支架230的两侧进行支撑,使极片100能够平稳地从探测机构220和放射机构210之间经过,保证了检测效果。第一过辊250和第二过辊260之间的距离例如小于或等于800mm。以更好地对极片100进行支撑。
设备200还可以连接有外围配套电路和工控机的控制系统。在检测过程中,放射机构210和探测机构220是不移动的,仅极片100沿其长度方向Y移动,因此消除了上述动态扫描中的位置的计算误差和空气变化引起的测量误差。
以下,结合图6至图10,对放射机构210和探测机构220进行详细描述。
在一种实现方式中,放射机构210包括放射源和第一壳体211,放射源用于产生射线;第一壳体211用于容纳放射源,第一壳体211朝向探测机构220一侧的表面设置有开窗2121,开窗2121用于透过该射线。将放射源置于第一壳体211内,可以形成对放射源的有效保护。
例如,如图6和图7所示,第一壳体211朝向探测机构220的表面上设置有开窗2121。具体地,第一壳体211可以由壳体部和端盖212组成,放射源容纳于壳体部内,端盖212用于将该放射源盖合于壳体部内,开窗2121设置在端盖212上,该放射 源发出的射线可以透过开窗2121照射至极片100的表面上。
放射源的数量可以是一个也可以是多个,例如,可以采用单体放射源,或者将沿宽度方向X设置的多个长条形放射源拼合。当采用多个放射源拼合形成的放射机构210时,极片100沿宽度方向X上的各个检测区域上被照射的射线强度相同,检测均匀性更好。
在一种实现方式中,如图6和图7所示,放射机构210还包括第一准直器213,第一准直器213设置在放射源和极片100之间。第一准直器213在第一壳体211朝向探测机构220的表面上的投影位于开窗2121内。由于放射机构210发出的射线呈一定立体角发散,通过第一准直器213的过滤,能够将射线最大效率地照射至极片100的表面,实现对极片100的有效检测。
第一准直器213例如可以由多个挡板组成,多个挡板沿宽度方向X设置且垂直于极片100的表面。利用多个挡板形成多个准直单元,结构简单,且能够有效地将放射源发出的射线引导至极片100表面沿其宽度方向X上的各个位置。该挡板为薄片状,也可以称为分割片。
图8示出了放射机构210和极片100之间由多个挡板形成的第一准直器213。如图8所示,放射源发出的射线的强度沿中心向四周逐渐减弱,该射线经过前准直器213的过滤,呈一定角度照射在极片100的表面,并沿宽度方向X覆盖极片100。多个挡板中相邻两个挡板形成一个准直单元,该射线经过每个准直单元后照射在极片100上的区域在宽度方向X上的尺寸为S1。
在一种实现方式中,如图7所示,放射源的线束截面在宽度方向X和长度方向Y上的尺寸分别为W1和L1,W1可以基于待测极片的宽度进行选取,L1可以基于所需的检测精度进行选取。例如,20mm≤L1≤50mm,和/或,200mm≤W1≤1500mm,该尺寸能够满足对大多数尺寸的极片的检测需求。
在一种实现方式中,如图7和图8所示,第一准直器213的多个挡板中每个挡板在宽度方向X上的尺寸、以及在厚度方向Z上的尺寸分别为d和H1,其中,0.2mm≤d≤1mm,和/或,1mm≤H1≤5mm。d和H1位于该范围时,即保证了第一准直器213的结构稳定性,也保证了对射线的有效引导,能够获得最佳的检测效果。
在一种实现方式中,在宽度方向X上,第一准直器213的多个挡板中第一个挡板和最后一个挡板,均与开窗2121的边缘之间间隔d/2;和/或,在长度方向Y上,第 一准直器213的多个挡板的两个端部均与开窗2121的边缘之间间隔d/2。从而充分利用第一准直器213对从第一壳体211上的开窗2121出来的射线进行准直。
在一种实现方式中,如图9和图10所示,探测机构220包括第二壳体221和探测器阵列,探测器阵列包括M行×N列个探测器222,M行探测器沿宽度方向X设置,N列探测器沿长度方向Y设置,M和N为正整数。探测器阵列设置在第二壳体221朝向放射机构210一侧的壁2211上。M行×N列个探测单元具有各自的探测区域,每个探测单元用于检测极片100上的对应区域透射出来的信号。由多个探测器222的探测器阵列设置于第二壳体221朝向放射机构210一侧的壁2211上,第二壳体221可以形成对探测器222的支撑和保护。
探测器阵列中的探测器222的数量越多,检测精度越高,但是成本和结构复杂度也越高。本申请实施例中,N的范围例如可以是1≤N≤10,优选地为3或者5;M的范围例如可以是5≤M≤150,优选地为20或80。当极片100宽度方向X和长度方向Y上的探测器数量位于该范围时,即保证了检测精度,也不会带来额外的成本和结构复杂度。
在一种实现方式中,如图9和图10所示,探测机构220还包括第二准直器224,第二准直器224设置在极片100和探测器阵列之间,用于对从极片100透射的信号进行准直。从极片100透射的信号的方向会发生改变,第二准直器224中的每个准直单元能够将极片100上对应区域透过的射线引导至对应的探测器222,从而对极片100的宽度方向上的各个区域进行有效检测。
第二准直器224例如可以由多个挡板组成,多个挡板沿宽度方向X设置且垂直于极片100的表面。通过多个挡板形成多个准直单元,结构简单,且能够有效地将极片100透过的信号引导至对应的探测器222上。该挡板为薄片状,也可以称为分割片。
图8中还示出了探测机构220和极片100之间的由多个挡板形成的第二准直器224。如图8所示,多个挡板中相邻两个挡板形成一个准直单元,多个准直单元分别对应探测器阵列中的多个探测器222,极片100透射的信号经过每个准直单元后,被对应的探测器222接收。也就是说,多个准直单元将极片110的多个区域透过的信号,分别引导至对应的多个探测器222,多个探测器222分别用于检测极片100的多个区域透过的信号。每个准直单元可以过滤其对应的探测器的检测区别之外的其他区域透射的信号。该检测区域在宽度方向X上的尺寸为S2,相邻探测器222对应的检测区域之间可 以重叠也可以不重叠。
经过第二准直器224,每个探测器222接收到其检测区域透过的信号,每个探测器222把信号强度转换为微弱的电流信号,采用多通道并行的计算方式,将每个探测器222输出的电流信号输入如放大器,以将其转换为高信噪比的电压信号,该电压信号通过模数转换后得到对应的数字信号,即可得到穿过极片100表面的被测材料后的射线强度I。
探测器阵列中相邻两个探测器222之间的间距为d,0.2mm≤d≤1mm。相邻两个探测器222之间的间距与第一准直器219的挡板的厚度相等,能够充分利用每个探测器的感应区域,有效地接收从第一准直器210透过的射线,提高了信号接收效率。
根据第二准直器224中相邻两个挡板之间的距离,与第一准直器213中相邻两个挡板之间的距离之间的关系,或者说是第二准直器224的挡板数量与第一准直器213的挡板数量之间的关系,来平衡探测器222的数量和检测精度。例如,如图8所示,第二准直器224的多个挡板中相邻两个挡板之间的距离,为第一准直器213的多个挡板中相邻两个挡板之间的距离的两倍。
如图10所示,探测器阵列中每个探测器222的信号接收窗口在宽度方向X和长度方向Y上的尺寸分别为W2和L2。其中,W2的范围例如可以是1mm≤W2≤20mm,优选地,W2为10mm;L2的范围例如可以是1mm≤L2≤40mm,优选地,L2为10mm。探测器222的尺寸越小,检测精细度越高,但对于相同检测面积而言也增加了探测器222的数量,当探测器222的尺寸位于该范围时,能够兼顾检测精细度和探测器的数量。这时,第一准直器213的相邻两个挡板形成的准直单元的出射窗口的面积为(W1-d)×[(L2-d)/2]。第二准直器224的相邻两个挡板形成的出射窗口的面积(W1-d)×L2。
探测器阵列的接收窗口尺寸与放射源的射线出射窗口尺寸相同,均为(W1-d)×(L1-d)。其中,W1=(W2+d)×N,L1=(L2+d)×M。这里,放射源的射线出射窗口的尺寸为第一准直器的尺寸。
在一种实现方式中,如图8和图10所示,第二准直器224的多个挡板中每个挡板在宽度方向X上的尺寸、以及在厚度方向Z上的尺寸分别为d和H2,其中,0.2mm≤d≤1mm,和/或,1mm≤H2≤5mm。d和H2位于该范围时,即保证了第二准直器224的结构稳定性,也保证了对透射信号的有效引导,能够获得最佳的检测效果。
以下,一并结合图11至图13详细描述本申请实施例的涂布机构240。其中,图11和图12示出了本申请实施例的涂布机构240中的涂布模头241及其调节部244的结构,图13为图12中区域A的放大图,图13示出了调节部224中的调节块2241与材料接触的部分的尺寸。从上述图2至图4可以看出,涂布机构240包括涂布辊242和M个涂布模头241,涂布辊242用于承载极片100,M个涂布模头241沿宽度方向X设置,且位于涂布辊242远离支架230的一侧,M个涂布模头241分别连接M个出料口243,每个涂布模头241用于将材料输送至对应的出料口243,以使该材料通过出料口243涂布在极片100的表面。
M个涂布模头241分别对应于探测机构220的探测器阵列中的M行探测器,由于在宽度方向X上设置有与M个探测器对应的M个涂布模头,M个涂布模头在极片100上涂布的材料量可以分别根据M个探测器的检测结果进行闭环调节,提升了涂布一致性。
在一种实现方式中,如图11和图12所示,涂布机构200还包括与M个涂布模头241对应设置的M个调节部244,每个调节部244用于根据对应的探测器222检测的面密度,调整对应的涂布模头241连接的出料口243的尺寸。由于M个出料口243的尺寸分别由M个调节部244控制,M个调节部244可以分别根据M个探测器222的检测结果控制M个出料口243的尺寸,实现对极片100的面密度值的闭环自动调整,提升了极片100的宽度方向X上的涂布一致性。
在一种实现方式中,如图11和图12所示,调节部244包括调节块2441及其驱动装置2442,驱动装置2442用于驱动调节块2441沿厚度方向Z运动,以通过调节块2441调整对应的涂布模头241连接的出料口243的尺寸。利用驱动块2441及其驱动装置2442来实现对出料口243的调节,结构简单且准确性高。驱动装置2442例如可以是电机。
此外,调节部244还包括转换滑块2444和固定座2445等。图12所示的状态下,调节块2441处于高位,出料口243的尺寸最大,驱动装置2442的轴与转换滑块2444之间可以采用高精密螺纹链接,驱动装置2442旋转一定角度,转换滑块2444会沿着固定座2445滑动,即通过高精密螺纹将旋转运动转换为直线运动,转换滑块2444与调节块2441的连杆采用螺纹固定,调节块2441顺着转换滑块2444一起上下运动,达到调节出料口243的尺寸的目的。
在一种实现方式中,调节块2441与材料接触的部分在宽度方向X和长度方向Y上的尺寸分别为W3和L3。其中,W3的范围例如可以是10mm≤W3≤30mm,优选地,W3=10mm;L3的范围例如可以是5mm≤L3≤20mm,优选地,L3=20mm。通过合理设置调节块2441与材料接触的区域的尺寸,能够在满足涂布均匀性的要求的同时,减少调节块2441的数量。调节块2441可以为矩形、菱形或者阶梯型等。
L3通常大于或等于L2,优选地,L3为L2的整数倍,L2为探测器阵列中每个探测器222的信号接收窗口在长度方向Y上的尺寸。L3为L2的整数倍时,对出料口243的调节量与探测器的信号接收窗口相匹配,便于根据探测器222的检测结果对出料口243的尺寸进行反馈调整。
驱动装置2442在厚度方向Z上的移动距离例如小于或等于200mm。该移动距离与出料口243在厚度方向Z上的尺寸对应,当其位于上述范围时,既满足了涂布后的极片100面密度的变化范围,也减少了所占用的空间位置。
可见,本申请实施例提供的极片检测的设备200可以在极片100的涂布过程中对极片100的面密度进行实时的全区域检测。极片100从涂布辊260的辊面经过的同时,出料口243输出的浆料被涂布在极片100的表面,然后极片100运动至放射机构210和探测机构220之间时,放射机构210覆盖极片100的宽度方向X,以获得极片100沿宽度方向X上的二维检测数据。根据该检测数据,可以通过调节部224对出料口243的尺寸进行反馈调整,以提高极片100表面沿宽度方向X上的面密度的一致性。驱动装置2442通过控制调节块2441的上下高度,利用调节块2441的上下移动改变对应的出料口243的尺寸。出料口243的尺寸变小,浆料流量变小,极片100的涂布重量变小,相应位置的面密度变小;出料口243的尺寸变大,浆料流量变大,极片100的涂布重量变大,相应位置的面密度变大。这样,便可以对极片100的局部区域的面密度进行调整。
