Abstract:

The positive and negative electrodes of a lithium battery are crucial parts of the battery. The electrode coating quality is significantly related to the battery's performance and service life, and a defective electrode is often the cause of the battery's potential safety hazard. This study presents a set of algorithms based on a whale optimization algorithm-back propagation neural network (WOA-BPNN) to further improve the automation level of defect detection and recognition for lithium-battery electrode plate coating. First, image preprocessing is performed on the collected lithium-battery electrode plate coating image. Then, the shape, gray, and texture features of the defect target area are extracted after being segmented from the image. Next, the BPNN is built, and the fused feature vector after serial fusion is used as the network's input. Finally, the WOA is used to assist in parameter adjustment while training the neural network classification model to further improve the model's recognition accuracy. This algorithm can accurately detect and recognize eight types of common lithium-battery electrode plate coating defects, including scratch, metal exposure, hole, crack, abnormal pollution, and carbon spalling. The experimental results show that when the width of the lithium-battery electrode plate is 200 mm, the detection accuracy is 0.05 mm and the detection speed is 60 m/min, and the average missed detection rate of this algorithm is 1.68%, the average false detection rate is 0%, and the average classification and recognition accuracy is 97.08%. This algorithm can be used to effectively detect defects in lithium-battery electrode plate coating at high speeds and with high precision, and it has practical applications in the field of lithium battery intelligent manufacturing.
