Description

Training Simulation Device and User Training Method Using the Training Simulation Device {TRAINING SIMULATOR AND OPERATOR TRAINING METHOD USING THE SAME} The present invention relates to a training simulation device and a user training method using the training simulation device, and more specifically, to a training simulation device for training a winder process during a battery manufacturing process and a user training method using the training simulator. Secondary batteries are batteries that can be reused through charging even after discharge. They can be utilized as energy sources for small devices such as mobile phones, tablet PCs, and vacuum cleaners, and are also used as medium-to-large energy sources for personal mobility devices, automobiles, and energy storage systems. Depending on system requirements, secondary batteries are used in the form of assemblies, such as battery modules in which multiple battery cells are connected in series and parallel, or battery packs in which battery modules are connected in series and parallel. Recently, the demand for the development and production of secondary batteries has been rapidly increasing due to the growth of the electric vehicle and energy storage market. In response to this surge in demand, the number of production plants for secondary batteries is also increasing. However, there is a significant shortage of skilled workers to operate these production facilities. Furthermore, while the training and education of new workers were previously conducted by having them learn by observing experienced operators, the busy secondary battery production schedule made it difficult to provide long-term training. In addition, there is a problem in securing a sufficient number of skilled workers due to factors such as employee turnover. Moreover, even if workers are trained on general factory operations, it is not easy to ensure they can respond immediately to the various types of defect situations that may occur during operation. To address these issues, a method is being utilized in which workers engaged in secondary battery production undergo training via simulators regarding the operation of production equipment and procedures for handling defects before being deployed to work. However, as battery types and specifications change, the secondary battery production process must also adapt accordingly. Consequently, the devices used to simulate the secondary battery production process also require appropriate modifications. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the battery manufacturing process.
