Abstract:
A device for detecting a crack in a battery cell, comprising: an inspection unit comprising a first sensor inducing an eddy current and a second sensor sensing a signal of the eddy current induced by the first sensor, and performing an inspection of the battery by using the eddy current while the battery cell is driven; a transfer unit for sequentially transferring a plurality of battery cells from a point where the battery cells are introduced to a point where the battery cells are taken out; and a control unit which is electrically connected to the inspection unit and receives, evaluates, and controls the eddy current signal sensed by the inspection unit.
