Description

极耳检测系统及极耳检测方法

技术领域
本申请涉及电池生产技术领域,特别是涉及一种极耳检测系统及极耳检测方法。
背景技术
在电池生产过程中,通过模切工艺形成极耳,极耳在模切过程中、叠片/卷绕过程中、以及转运过程中容易翻折,且形成电芯之后极耳翻折不容易检测识别,极耳翻折会导致短路、析锂等情况发生,存在严重的安全隐患。
目前,极耳翻着检测的方案是使用光电传感器照射检测。使用时,光电传感器安装于极片的宽幅方向上的一端,用于与极片所在平面呈角度的对极片连接极耳的部位进行照射,并检测被照射区域的颜色。如此,利用光电传感器对极片连接极耳的部位进行照射,并检测被照射的区域的颜色,从而根据检测获得的颜色来判断极耳是否翻折。

可知,光电传感器只能检测极耳有无,无法测量出极耳翻折的面积。此外,光电传感器的原理是通过把光强度的变化转换成电信号的变化来实现检测,很容易受到光线的干扰造成过漏检。
另外,基于人工检测极耳翻折缺陷时,存在较大的不确定性,容易出现漏检和误杀的现象。
基于以上考虑,申请人提出了一种极耳检测系统以及极耳检测方法,一方面,在电芯进行模切和辊压之后进行极耳的缺陷检测,对电芯进行极耳缺陷检测之后,电芯不会再经过模切模组辊压装置,这样能有效避免对极耳缺陷检测完成后电芯在转运的过程中再次发生翻折,也保证了检测结果的真实性和可靠性。另一方面,通过该极耳检测方法,既能够实现对极耳发生翻折和存在余料的缺陷同时进行检测,也可以实现对发生翻折的面积和存在余料的面积进行量化,以供进一步调整工艺。

在一个实施例中,检测模组20的上游工位是模切模组10,检测模组20的下游工位是叠片模组30和排废模组40。可知,检测模组20位于电芯生产工艺流程中的模切模组10 和叠片模组30之间,在电芯进行模切和辊压之后进行极耳的缺陷检测,对电芯进行极耳缺陷检测之后,电芯不会再经过模切模组辊压装置,这样能有效避免对极耳缺陷检测完成后电芯在转运的过程中再次发生翻折,也保证了检测结果的真实性和可靠性。
在一个实施例中,极耳检测系统还包括下位机60。上位机50和下位机60之间通信连接,上位机50分别与模切模组10、检测模组20和叠片模组30通信连接;下位机60分别与模切模组10、检测模组20、叠片模组30和排废模组40通信连接。模切模组10模切和辊压后的电芯到达检测模组20后,检测模组20检测到电芯不存在缺陷时,叠片模组30对不存在缺陷的电芯进行叠片;检测模组20检测到电芯存在缺陷时,排废模组40对存在缺陷的电芯进行排废。
此外,模切模组10、检测模组20、叠片模组30和排废模组40可以设置于同一叠片机,模切模组10也可独立于包括检测模组20、叠片模组30和排废模组40的叠片机单独设置,在此不作限定,只要保证检测模组20位于模切模组10和叠片模组30之间即可。
如图2和图3所示,检测模组20包括图像采集模组20和位置传感器27。图像采集模组20分别与上位机50和下位机60通信连接,位置传感器27与图像采集模组20通信连接。结合图1可知,检测模组20位于模切模组10和叠片模组30之间,图像采集模组20和位置传感器27位于模切模组10和叠片模组30之间。

具体地,位置传感器27用于在检测到极耳到达预设走料位置的情况下,生图像采集指令并发送至图像采集模组20。图像采集模组20在接收到图像采集指令的情况下,对电芯70的极耳进行图像采集,得到极耳图像并发送至上位机50。
其中,预设走料位置位于模切模组10和叠片模组30之间。可知,电芯70的每个叠片电芯73在沿电芯走料方向走料时,图像采集模组20对每个叠片电芯73极耳图像的采集在预设走料位置完成。
位置传感器27的类型可以是对射传感器,在本实施例中不限于其型号,只要能够实现在叠片走料的过程中,实现对阳极耳71和阴极耳72的检测即可。
通过位置传感器27检测叠片在走料过程中,阳极耳71和阴极耳72到达预设的走料位置时,生产图像采集指令并发送至图像采集模组20实现自动对经过预设走料位置的每个极耳进行图像采集,避免对极耳造成漏检。
在一个实施例中,如图2和图3所示,图像采集模组20包括两个,两个图像采集模组20分别位于叠片电芯73设置阳极耳71的端部和叠片电芯73设置阴极耳72的端部。
具体地,两个图像采集模组20分别即为第一图像采集模组21和第二图像采集模组22。其中,第一图像采集模组21设置预设走料位置,沿电芯走料方向阳极耳71经过的位置,由此,第一图像采集模组21用于对每个叠片电芯73的阳极耳71进行图像采集;第二图像采集模组22设置预设走料位置,沿电芯走料方向阴极耳72经过的位置,由此,第二图像采集模组22用于对每个叠片电芯73的阴极耳72进行图像采集。对应地,位置传感器27也包括两个,一个位置传感器27设置于第一图像采集模组21,另一个位置传感器27设置于第二图像采集模组22。第一图像采集模组21和第二图像采集模组22用于分别在接收到 图像采集指令的情况下,同步采集阳极耳图像和阴极耳图像。
通过这样的设置,能够同步实现对阳极耳71和阴极耳72进行极耳图像采集,以避免阳极耳图像和阴极耳图像彼此混合影响检测结果。此外,图像采集模组20的数量可以是任意数量个,例如,使用一个图像采集模组20同时对阳极耳和阴极耳进行图像采集;再例如,使用一个图像采集模组20同时对阳极耳和阴极耳进行图像采集,再分别使用二个图像采集模组20分别对阳极耳和阴极耳进行图像采集;还例如,将四个图像采集模组20设置为一组,每一组图像采集模组分别在每个叠片电芯73的两侧对阳极耳71和阴极耳72进行图像采集;本申请不在于限制图像采集模组20的数量,只要能够实现在预设走料位置完成对阳极耳图像和阴极耳图像的采集即可。
图像采集模组20可以是RGB相机、红外相机、景深相机和点云相机等,其具体类型根据对缺陷检测使用图像格式实际情况选择即可,本申请也不在于限定具体的图像采集模组20的类型和型号。
在一个实施例中,如图2和图3所示,极耳检测系统还包括至少一个背光源,至少一个背光源位于预设走料位置,并与图像采集模组20相对设置于电芯70的两侧;至少一个背光源用于在图像采集模组20对极耳进行图像采集的过程中,沿极耳至图像采集模组20的方向对极耳曝光。通过对阳极耳71和阴极耳72的曝光,使得得到的阳极耳图像中阳极耳区域和其背景图像具有灰度差异,以及阴极耳图像中阴极耳区域和其背景图像具有灰度差异,有助于对极耳的缺陷进行检测。
以背光源设置二个为例,背光源包括第一背光源23和第二背光源24(图未绘示)。第一背光源23和第一图像采集模组21设置于叠片电芯73具有阳极耳71的端部,且第一背光源23与第一图像采集模组21相对设置于电芯70的两侧;第一图像采集模组21在预设走料位置对阳极耳71进行图像采集的过程中,第一背光源23对阳极耳71进行曝光。第二背光源24和第二图像采集模组22设置于叠片电芯73具有阴极耳72的端部,且第二背光源24和第二图像采集模组22相对设置于电芯70的两侧;第二图像采集模组22在预设走料位置对阴极耳72进行图像采集的过程中,第二背光源24对阴极耳72进行曝光。
通过使用背光源对极耳进行曝光,能够凸显极耳图像中的极耳区域,方便后续缺陷检测过程对极耳图像中极耳区域和极耳图像中背景区域的分割,进一步提升缺陷检测的效率和精度。
在一个实施例中,如图3和图4所示,极耳检测系统还包括至少一个前光源,至少一个前光源位于预设走料位置,并与图像采集模组设置于电芯的同一侧;至少一个前光源用于在图像采集模组对极耳进行图像采集的过程中,沿图像采集模组至极耳的方向对极耳曝光。
以前光源设置二个为例,前光源包括第一前光源25和第二前光源26(图未绘示)。第一前光源25和第一图像采集模组21设置于叠片电芯73具有阳极耳71的端部,且第一前光源25与第一图像采集模组21设置于电芯70的同一侧;第一图像采集模组21在预设走料位置对阳极耳71进行图像采集的过程中,第一前光源25对阳极耳71进行曝光。第二前光源26和第二图像采集模组22设置于叠片电芯73具有阴极耳72的端部,且第二前光源26和第二图像采集模组22设置于电芯70的同一侧;第二图像采集模组22在预设走料位置对阴极耳72进行图像采集的过程中,第二前光源26对阴极耳72进行曝光。
通过使用前光源对极耳进行曝光,同样地能够凸显极耳图像中的极耳区域,也方便后 续缺陷检测过程对极耳图像中极耳区域和极耳图像中背景区域的分割,进一步提升缺陷检测的效率和精度。
在一个实施例中,如图3和图5所示,极耳检测系统还包括至少一个背光源和至少一个前光源,至少一个背光源与至少一个前光源位于预设走料位置,至少一个前光源为与图像采集模组设置于电芯的同一侧,至少一个背光源与图像采集模组相对设置于电芯的两侧;至少一个背光源和至少一个前光源用于在图像采集模组对极耳进行图像采集的过程中,分别在电芯两侧对极耳曝光。
以背光源和前光源分别设置二个为例,即背光源包括第一背光源23和第二背光源24,前光源包括第一前光源25和第二前光源26。第一背光源23和第一前光源25相对设置于叠片电芯73具有阳极耳71的端部,其中,第一前光源25与第一图像采集模组21位于电芯70的同一侧,第一背光源23位于电芯70的另一侧;第一图像采集模组21在预设走料位置对阳极耳71进行图像采集的过程中,第一背光源23和第一前光源25同时对阳极耳71进行曝光。第二背光源24和第二前光源26相对设置于叠片电芯73具有阴极耳72的端部,其中,第二前光源26与第二图像采集模组22位于电芯70的同一侧,第二背光源24位于电芯70的另一侧;第二图像采集模组22在预设走料位置对阴极耳72进行图像采集的过程中,第二背光源24和第二前光源26同时对阴极耳72进行曝光。
通过使用背光源和前光源同时对极耳进行曝光,能够凸显极耳图像中的极耳区域,方便后续缺陷检测过程对极耳图像中极耳区域和极耳图像中背景区域的分割,同时,提高检测设备的设计冗余使得当任一前光源或背光源出现故障时,仍能够保证缺陷检测的效率和精度。
在一个实施例中,如图1所示,上位机50用于在获取所述极耳图像的情况下,识别极耳图像中的阳极耳区域和阴极耳区域,根据阳极耳区域与预设阳极耳参数比较结果,以及阴极耳区域与预设阴极耳参数的比较结果,确认阳极耳和阴极耳是否发生翻折和/或是否存在余料。
其中,预设阳极耳参数和预设阴极耳参数是根据对应电芯70的型号确认,例如,该型号电芯70的极耳应满足预设的长度和宽度,极耳发生翻折和/或极耳存在余料的情况下会导致极耳的长度和宽度发生变化,导致极耳的尺寸不满足该型号电芯70的极耳的长度和宽度。缺陷检测方法过程请参考后文步骤710至步骤730、步骤810至步骤840、步骤910至步骤940、步骤1010至步骤1030、以及步骤1110至步骤1130,在此不作赘述。通过该极耳检测方法,既能够实现对极耳发生翻折和存在余料的缺陷同时进行检测,也可以实现对发生翻折的面积和存在余料的面积进行量化,以供进一步调整工艺。
在一个实施例中,预设阳极耳参数包括预设阳极耳面积。上位机50用于对阳极耳图像进行识别,得到阳极耳图像中的阳极耳区域和阳极耳图像的背景图像;根据阳极耳区域与阳极耳图像的背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阳极耳面积;根据阳极耳面积是否小于预设阳极耳面积,确认阳极耳是否存在翻折。通过该方式,实现对阳极耳是否发生翻折以及发生翻折的面积进行量化,保证检测结果的精度。
在这里,预设的阳极耳面积可以是一个预设的范围值,只要检测的阳极耳的面积属于该预设阳极耳面积的范围值内,则确认该阳极耳不存在缺陷。在阳极耳发生翻折的情况下,该阳极耳面积小于该预设阳极耳面积,通过确认检测的阳极耳面积小于该预设阳极耳面积的结果。
在一个实施例中,预设阴极耳参数包括预设阴极耳面积。上位机50还用于对阴极耳图像进行识别,得到阴极耳区域;根据阴极耳区域与阴极耳图像的背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阴极耳面积;根据阴极耳面积是否小于所述预设阴极耳面积,确认阴极耳是否存在翻折。通过该方式,实现对阴极耳是否发生翻折以及发生翻折的面积进行量化,保证检测结果的精度。
在一个实施例中,预设阳极耳参数包括预设阳极耳余料面积。上位机50还用于根据阳极耳区域和阳极耳图像,得到阳极耳余料区域;根据阳极耳余料区域与阳极耳图像中背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阳极耳余料面积;根据阳极耳余料面积是否小于预设阳极耳余料面积,确认阳极耳是否存在余料。通过该方式,在实现对阳极耳是否发生翻折检测的基础上,进一步实现阳极耳是否存在余料的检测,同样地,实现对阳极耳余料的面积进行量化,以供调整产线工艺参数。
在一个实施例中,预设阴极耳参数包括预设阴极耳余料面积。上位机50还用于对根据阴极耳区域和阴极耳图像,得到阴极耳余料区域;根据阴极耳余料区域与阴极耳图像中背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阴极耳余料面积;根据阴极耳余料面积是否小于预设阴极耳余料面积,确认阴极耳是否存在余料。通过该方式,在实现对阴极耳是否发生翻折检测的基础上,进一步实现阴极耳是否存在余料的检测,同样地,实现对阴极耳余料的面积进行量化,以供调整产线工艺参数。
承上述,上位机50同时实现对极耳发生翻折和存在余料两种缺陷进行检测,避免对极耳的缺陷存在漏检,造成存在缺陷的极耳生产的电芯存在安全隐患。
在一个实施例中,如图1所示,上位机50还用于将极耳的缺陷检测结果发送至下位机60;下位机60用于在接收到缺陷检测结果的情况下,根据缺陷检测结果生成电芯的排废指令或叠片指令,以实现对检测极耳存在缺陷的电芯70进行排废处理,以及对检测极耳不存在缺陷的电芯70进行叠片。
通过上述的方式,通过对极耳存在缺陷的电芯进行排废,或对极耳不存在缺陷的电芯进行叠片,实现对产线的智能化控制,有效的保证了产线节拍。
在一个实施例中,如图1所示,上位机50用于在极耳图像面积大于等于预设极耳面积,确认极耳发生翻折,和/或,极耳余料面积大于等于预设极耳余料面积的情况下,确认极耳存在余料,并将极耳发生翻折和/或存在余料的检测结果发送至下位机60;下位机60用于在接收到极耳发生翻折和/或极耳存在余料的情况下,生成排废指令并发送至排废模组40;排废模组40用于在接收到排废指令的情况下,对该存在缺陷的电芯70进行排废处理。
通过上述的方式,当上位机50检测到极耳存在翻折缺陷时,上位机50实时通讯给下位机60进行排废处理,实现对产线的智能化控制,有效保证了产线节拍。
在一个实施例中,如图1所示,上位机50用于在极耳面积小于预设极耳面积,确认极耳未发生翻折,和/或,极耳余料面积小于预设极耳余料面积的情况下,确认极耳不存在余料,并将极耳未发生翻折和/或不存在余料的检测结果发送至下位机60;下位机60用于在接收到极耳未发生翻折和/或不存在余料的情况下,生成叠片指令并发送至叠片模组30;叠片模组30用于在接收到叠片指令的情况下,对该不存在缺陷的电芯70进行叠片处理。
通过上述的方式,当上位机50检测到极耳存在余料缺陷时,上位机50实时通讯给下位机60进行排废处理,上位机50兼顾了多种极耳缺陷类型的检测,同时,实现对产线的智能化控制,有效保证了产线节拍。
在一个实施例中,图6为本申请一个实施例中极耳检测方法的流程示意图,该极耳检测方法可应用于上述极耳检测系统。如图6所示,其步骤包括:
步骤610:获取辊压后电芯的极耳图像。
步骤620:对极耳图像进行识别,得到极耳图像中的极耳区域。
步骤630:根据极耳区域与预设极耳参数的比较结果,确认极耳是否存在缺陷。
通过实时采集的极耳图像进行缺陷检测,实时获取产线上极耳是否存在缺陷结果,避免人工质检极耳缺陷时存在漏检或误检的情况,同时,极耳进行缺陷检测后不会在产线上过辊保证检测精度,不存在缺陷的极耳能够保证电芯安全,存在缺陷的极耳即时排废保证了产线节拍。
在一个实施例中,极耳图像包括阳极耳图像和阴极耳图像,极耳区域包括阳极耳区域和阴极耳区域;即阳极耳图像对应阳极耳区域,阴极耳图像对应阴极耳区域。如图7所示,上述步骤620:对所述极耳图像进行识别,得到所述极耳图像中的极耳区域,包括:
步骤710:获取预设阳极耳图像轮廓和预设阴极耳图像轮廓。
步骤720:使用预设阳极耳图像轮廓对阳极耳图像进行定位,得到阳极耳区域。
步骤730:使用预设阴极耳图像轮廓对阴极耳图像进行定位,得到阴极耳区域。
需要说明的是,步骤720和步骤730并不存在时序上的先后关系,为了配合第一图像采集模组21和第二图像采集模组22同步采集阳极耳图像和阴极耳图像的操作,可同步对阳极耳区域和阴极耳区域进行识别。
通过预设阳极耳图像轮廓和预设阴极耳图像轮廓对阳极耳区域和阴极耳区域进行识别,方便进一步对极耳发生翻折或存在余料的面积进行量化。
此外,通过预设阳极耳轮廓对阳极耳区域进行识别以及通过预设阴极耳轮廓对阴极耳区域进行识别,具体来说可以根据极耳图像中极耳区域对应的前景图像和极耳图像中背景图像的灰度值差异、语义信息等进行对极耳区域进行识别,包括并不限于使用各种边缘检测算子以及语义分割模型和实例分割模型等实现对阳极耳区域和阴极耳区域进行识别。
在一个实施中,预设阳极耳参数包括预设阳极耳面积,预设阴极耳参数包括预设阴极耳面积;可知,预设阳极耳面积即为该型号电芯标准阳极耳对应的面积,检测到阳极耳面积在该预设阳极耳面积阈值内,则说明该阳极耳为不存在缺陷的阳极耳;预设阴极耳面积即为该型号电芯标准阴极耳对应的面积,同理,检测到阴极耳面积在该预设阴极耳面积阈值内,则说明该阴极耳为不存在缺陷的阴极耳。如图8a和图8b所示,步骤630:根据耳区域与预设极耳参数的比较结果,确认极耳是否存在缺陷,包括:
如图8a所示,对于阳极耳:
步骤810:根据所阳极耳区域与阳极耳图像的背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阳极耳面积。
步骤820:根据阳极耳面积是否符合预设阳极耳面积的阈值范围,确认阳极耳是否存在翻折。
以阳极耳71为矩形为例,根据预设阳极耳图像轮廓可确认标准阳极耳的长边的长度和短边的宽度,根据该预设阳极耳图长度和宽度即可确认预设阳极耳面积的阈值范围。由于采用前光源和/或背光源对阳极耳进行曝光,阳极耳图像中阳极耳区域(即前景图像)呈黑色,阳极耳图像的背景图像呈白色,当阳极耳71发生翻折其检测得到的阳极耳面积会小于上述预设阳极耳面积的阈值范围。
如图8b所示,对于阴极耳:
步骤830:根据阴极耳区域与阴极耳图像的背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阴极耳面积。
步骤840:根据阴极耳面积是否符合预设阴极耳面积阈值范围,确认阴极耳是否存在翻折。
同理,以阴极耳72为矩形为例,根据预设阴极耳图像轮廓可确认标准阴极耳的长边的长度和短边的宽度,根据该预设阴极耳图长度和宽度即可确认预设阴极耳面积的阈值范围。由于采用前光源和/或背光源对阴极耳进行曝光,阴极耳图像中阴极耳区域(即前景图像)呈黑色,阴极耳图像的背景图像呈白色,当阴极耳72发生翻折其检测得到的阴极耳面积会小于上述预设阴极耳面积的阈值范围。
可知,根据产线的实际要求,可仅对阳极耳是否发生翻折进行检测,也可仅对阴极耳是否发生翻折进行检测,还可以同步对阳极耳是否发生翻折和阴极耳是否发生翻折进行检测。
在一个实施中,预设阳极耳参数包括预设阳极耳余料面积,预设阴极耳参数包括预设阴极耳余料面积。如图9a和图9b所示,步骤630:根据极耳区域与预设极耳参数的比较结果,确认极耳是否存在缺陷,还包括:
如图9a所示,针对阳极耳:
步骤910:根据预设阳极耳图像轮廓、阳极耳区域和阳极耳图像,得到阳极耳余料区域。
步骤920:根据阳极耳余料区域的面积是否小于预设阳极耳余料面积,确认阳极耳是否存在余料。
如图9b所示,针对阴极耳:
步骤930:根据预设阴极耳图像轮廓、阴极耳区域和阴极耳图像,得到阴极耳余料区域。
步骤940:根据阴极耳余料区域的面积是否小于预设阴极耳余料面积,确认阴极耳是否存在余料。
其中,预设的阳极耳余料面积和预设的阴极耳余料面积可以根据该电芯型号及其质量要求确认。在对阳极耳71和阴极耳72是否发生翻折进行检测的同时,还可以对阳极耳71和阴极耳72是否存在余料进行检测。
在一个实施例中,如图10所示,步骤910具体包括:
步骤1010:根据预设阳极耳图像轮廓,在阳极耳图像中确认出超出其阳极耳区域的区域部分,将超出阳极耳区域的区域部分确认为阳极耳余料区域。
对应的,步骤920具体包括:
步骤1020:根据阳极耳余料区域与所述阳极耳图像的背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阳极耳余料面积。
步骤1030:根据阳极耳余料面积是否小于预设阳极耳余料面积,确认阳极耳是否存在余料。
其中,在检测的阳极耳余料面积小于预设的阳极耳余料面积的情况下,确认阳极耳不存在余料,即该阳极耳不存在余料缺陷。在检测的阳极耳余料面积大于等于预设的阳极耳余料面积的情况下,确认阳极耳存存在余料,即该阳极耳存在余料缺陷。
在实现对阳极耳是否发生翻折检测的基础上,进一步实现阳极耳是否存在余料的检测,同样地,实现对阳极耳余料的面积进行量化,以供调整产线工艺参数。
继续以阳极耳71为矩形为例,根据预设阳极耳图像轮廓可确认标准阳极耳的长边的长度和短边的宽度。由于采用前光源和/或背光源对阳极耳进行曝光,阳极耳图像中阳极耳区 域(即前景图像)呈黑色,阳极耳图像的背景图像呈白色,当检测到阳极耳的长边外和/或短边外存在黑色区域,该阳极耳图像中长边外和/或短边外存在黑色区域即为超出阳极耳区域的阳极耳余料区域。产线也可当检测阳极耳71存在余料时就进行排废处理。
在一个实施例中,如图11所示,步骤930具体包括:
步骤1110:根据预设阴极耳图像轮廓,在阴极耳图像中确认出超出其阴极耳区域的区域部分,将超出阴极耳区域的区域部分确认为阴极耳余料区域。
对应地,步骤940具体包括:
步骤1120:根据阴极耳余料区域与阴极耳图像的背景图像的灰度值差异,得到阴极耳余料面积;
步骤1130:根据阴极耳余料面积是否小于预设阴极耳余料面积,确认阴极耳是否存在余料。
其中,在检测的阴极耳余料面积小于预设的阴极耳余料面积的情况下,确认阴极耳不存在余料,即该阴极耳不存在余料缺陷。在检测的阴极耳余料面积大于等于预设的阴极耳余料面积的情况下,确认阴极耳存存在余料,即该阴极耳存在余料缺陷。
在实现对阴极耳是否发生翻折检测的基础上,进一步实现阴极耳是否存在余料的检测,同样地,实现对阴极耳余料的面积进行量化,以供调整产线工艺参数。
继续以阳极耳71为矩形为例,根据预设阴极耳图像轮廓可确认标准阴极耳的长边的长度和短边的宽度。由于采用前光源和/或背光源对阴极耳进行曝光,阴极耳图像中阴极耳区域(即前景图像)呈黑色,阴极耳图像的背景图像呈白色,当检测到阴极耳的长边外和/或短边外存在黑色区域,该阴极耳图像中长边外和/或短边外存在黑色区域即为超出阴极耳区域的阴极耳余料区域。产线也可当检测阴极耳72存在余料时就进行排废处理。
此外,预设阳极耳余料面积和预设阴极耳余料面积可根据电芯型号及其质量要求确认。例如,可将预设阳极耳余料面积和预设阴极耳余料面积阈值均设置为零,只要检测到阳极耳存在余料面积和阴极耳余料面积存在余料面积,则极耳存在余料缺陷;还例如,可将阳极耳和阴极耳允许的余料误差范围确认预设阳极耳余料面积上限值和预设阴极耳余料面积上限值,只要检测的阳极耳余料面积和阴极耳余料面积均处于该上限值范围内,则认为该阳极耳和阴极耳不存在余料缺陷。
在一个实施例中,图12为本申请一个实施例中确认极耳检测算法的流程示意图。如图12所示,所述方法还包括:
步骤1210:获取所述电芯的标识码。
其中,标识码可以是产品序列号(Serial Number,SN码)。
步骤1220:根据所述电芯的标识码,确认获取该电芯极耳图像所使用图像采集模组的位姿参数,以及在预设的极耳缺陷检测算法库内确认该电芯对应的极耳缺陷检测算法。
可以理解的是,由于不同型号的电芯70其对应的图像采集模组20采集极耳图像的位姿(即图像采集模组20与极耳之间的距离)以及缺陷检测算法均可能不同。上位机50内可针对每种型号的电芯70,预设其图像采集模组20的位姿参数和其对应的缺陷检测算法。使用时,极耳检测系统根据电芯70的标识码生产的图像采集指令,自动确认和调整图像采集模组20的位置和调用其对应的缺陷检测算法进行缺陷识别,提高了极耳缺陷检测的效率。同时,基于同一极耳检测系统,可实现对多种型号电芯70极耳的检测。
