Design of Automatic Production Line for Electrode Defects Inspection of Li-Ion Power Battery

Abstract:

Most countries and companies begin to develop Li-ion power battery because of the serious pollution of lead-acid battery and nickel-cadmium battery. As the main component of the Li-ion power battery, the electrode has a great influence on performance of the battery. Most manufacturers take the method of traditional manual inspection which has many disadvantages, such as low efficiency and bad work condition, and is vulnerable to subjective factors. The paper designs an automatic production line of the defects inspection of electrode, in which machine vision is used to inspect the defects of the electrode, PLC to control, and speed chain to convey the electrode. The combination of static loading electrode and dynamic inspection is chosen to control the line. The design can improve the efficiency siginificiantly.
