[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, a disassembly and assembly mechanism is provided between the support rod 4 and the top plate 3, and between the support rod 4 and the bottom plate 2. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes an end sleeve 17 rotatably sleeved on the end of the support rod 4, and circular through holes 26 corresponding to the end sleeve 17 are provided at the four corners of the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 3. Two limiting side blocks 19 are symmetrically fixed on the two side surfaces of the end sleeve 17, and two strip holes 27 corresponding to the limiting side blocks 19 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the circular through hole 26. Two limiting side grooves 20 communicating with the strip holes 27 are also provided on the inner wall of the circular through hole 26. The two limiting side blocks 19 are respectively embedded in the two limiting side grooves 20, so that the assembly method between the bottom plate 2, the top plate 3 and the support rod 4 is faster.

[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, a rotating block 18 is fixed to the inner wall of the end sleeve 17, and annular grooves are provided on the two end surfaces of the support rod 4. The rotating block 18 is in the annular groove, so that the end sleeve 17 can rotate smoothly on the end of the support rod 4. End grooves 21 are provided inside both ends of the support rod 4, and a spring 22 and a telescopic card bead 23 are provided inside the end groove 21. The spring 22 is connected between the telescopic card bead 23 and the inner wall of the end groove 21, and the inner wall of the end sleeve 17 is provided with four circular card grooves 24 corresponding to the telescopic card bead 23. The end of the telescopic card bead 23 is embedded in the inner side of one of the circular card grooves 24, so that after the end sleeve 17 rotates ninety degrees, the end of the telescopic card bead 23 will be stuck in the inner side of one of the circular card grooves 24 to limit it. A hexagonal groove 25 is provided on the end surface of the end sleeve 17, which is convenient for the operator to use an inner hexagonal wrench to rotate the end sleeve 17. Support feet are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, a top motor 16 and an electric box are further provided on the top surface of the top plate 3 , and the top motor 16 and the electric box are respectively located at the front and rear of the top base plate 15 .

[0025] The model of the telescopic cylinder 11 in the present invention is SDA50X25SB.

[0026] The model of the width adjustment motor 6 in the present invention is 57BYGH5330.

[0027] The model of the top motor 16 in the present invention is 5D60-24GU.

[0028] The model of the lowering cylinder 14 in the present invention is MOB40*200.

[0029] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: when the support rod 4 and the top plate 3 need to be assembled, the end sleeve 17 is first rotated 90 degrees with an inner hexagonal wrench, so that the end of the telescopic card bead 23 is stuck in the circular card groove 24 at one position, so that the end sleeve 17 is limited. At this time, the limiting side block 19 will be aligned with the strip hole 27, and the end sleeve 17 can be inserted into the circular through hole 26, so that the limiting side block 19 slides into the strip hole 27 until the end sleeve 17 penetrates the top of the top plate 3 and the limiting side block 1 9 is at the same height as the limiting side groove 20. At this time, the end sleeve 17 is rotated 90 degrees with an inner hexagonal wrench, so that the two limiting side blocks 19 can be screwed into the two limiting side grooves 20 respectively, and the end of the telescopic card bead 23 will be pushed by the spring 22 to be stuck in the circular card groove 24 at other positions. By limiting the end sleeve 17 and the limiting side block 19, the support rod 4 and the top plate 3 can be quickly connected. When the support rod 4 needs to be assembled with the bottom plate 2, the same is true, which improves the assembly convenience of the device.

[0030] When the device is in use, the battery of the previous process is conveyed to the top of the base plate 2 through the feeding conveyor line on the battery automatic assembly line. At this time, the two telescopic cylinders 11 work, causing the positioning teeth 12 and the pushing teeth 13 to retract, and then the transverse servo 9 works to move the transverse plate 10 to the position of the battery. Then one of the telescopic cylinders 11 works to extend the positioning teeth 12, and the transverse servo 9 returns. The positioning teeth 12 pushes the battery to the reference position to achieve positioning. After positioning is completed, the other telescopic cylinder 11 works to extend the pushing teeth 13, and then the transverse servo 9 works again to push the battery into the discharging conveyor line on one side of the base 1 through the pushing teeth 13 to enter the next process. When the distance between the two width adjustment plates 5 needs to be adjusted, the width adjustment motor 6 works to drive the two adjustment shafts 7 and the screw to operate, so that the two width adjustment plates 5 shrink or expand. When the width adjustment motor 6 rotates forward, the two width adjustment plates 5 shrink relative to each other, and when the width adjustment motor 6 rotates reversely, the two width adjustment plates 5 expand relative to each other, so as to adapt to batteries of different widths.

[0031] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
