The second CCD vision mechanism 62 and the third CCD vision mechanism 63 feed back the corresponding parameters to the control unit, and the control unit drives the output end of the battery transfer device 50 to make an adaptive adjustment according to the corresponding parameters. Since there is a certain movement error in each material taking of the battery transfer device 50, there is always a certain difference in the orientation of each battery to be assembled. At the same time, there is also a certain dimensional error in the battery compartment of the workpiece to be assembled. Using the second CCD vision positioning device 60 can effectively monitor the key position parameters of the battery to be assembled and the workpiece to be assembled before assembly, facilitate the battery transfer device 50 to make effective adjustments, thereby ensuring the effective progress of the assembly process and improving the battery assembly efficiency.
