Wrinkle detection device and wrinkle detection method
View Patent ↗A wrinkle detection device ( 100 ) includes: a light projector ( 110 ) which, while moving relative to a layered body ( 40 ) formed by stacking electrodes ( 50 ) and separators ( 60 ), projects slit light onto an outermost one of the separators ( 60 ); a camera ( 120 ) which shoots a shape of the slit light on the separator ( 60 ); and a control unit ( 130 ) which calculates a gradient of the separator ( 60 ) on the basis of the shot shape of the slit light, and determines the existence of a wrinkle on the basis of the calculated gradient.
1. A wrinkle detection device comprising:
a light projector configured to, while moving relative to a layered body formed by stacking electrodes and separators, project slit light onto an outermost one of the separators;
a shooting unit configured to shoot a shape of the slit light projected on the separator; and
a determination unit configured to calculate an inclination of a surface of the separator, on which the slit light is projected, to a plane direction of the surface on the basis of the shot shape of the slit light, and to determine the existence of a wrinkle on the basis of the calculated inclination.
2. The wrinkle detection device according to claim 1 , wherein
the light projector and the shooting unit are installed in a conveyance passage to convey the layered body, and
the shooting unit detects a surface geometry of the separator in the layered body.
3. The wrinkle detection device according to claim 1 , wherein
the layered body includes an electrode placed in separators formed in the shape of a bag,
the light projector projects the slit light on each of two surfaces of the layered body and
the shooting unit shoots the shape of the slit light on each of the two surfaces of the layered body.
4. The wrinkle detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the determination unit
on the basis of the shot shape of the slit light, associates an elevation with each of pixels representing an image of the separator shot by the shooting unit, and
determines whether or not each pixel represents part of the wrinkle by comparing the pixel with other pixels within a predetermined area in terms of an elevation difference.
5. A wrinkle detection method comprising:
projecting, while moving relative to a layered body formed by stacking electrodes and separators, projecting slit light onto an outermost one of the separators;
shooting a shape of the slit light projected on the separator; and
calculating an inclination of a surface of the separator, on which the slit light is projected, to a plane direction of the surface on the basis of the shot shape of the slit light, and determining the existence of a wrinkle on the basis of the calculated inclination.
6. A wrinkle detection device comprising:
means for projecting, while moving relative to a layered body formed by stacking electrodes and separators, slit light onto an outermost one of the separators;
means for shooting a shape of the slit light projected on the separator; and
means for calculating an inclination of a surface of the separator, on which the slit light is projected, to a plane direction of the surface on the basis of the shot shape of the slit light, and determining the existence of a wrinkle on the basis of the calculated inclination.
