[0036] Furthermore, in order to realize the jacking function, please refer to Figure 4 , in one of the jacking winches, the jacking winch 130 includes a bearing frame 131, an eccentric shaft 132, a bearing 133 and a handle 134. The bearing frame is installed on the bottom plate, and an installation hole is formed in the bearing frame. The eccentric shaft passes through the installation hole, and one end of the eccentric shaft is connected to the bearing, and the other end of the eccentric shaft is connected to the handle. The bearing is used to abut against the lifting plate. It should be noted that the bearing frame is used for fixing. While the eccentric shaft is used to connect the bearing 133 and the handle 134, it can also make the bearing lift or lower when the handle rotates; the bearing 133 is used to abut against the lifting plate so that the lifting plate can be lifted and lowered under the action of the bearing; the handle 134 is used to provide a power source for the lifting of the bearing, that is, when the handle rotates, the lifting function can be realized.

[0037] It should also be noted that the jacking winch is located below the lifting plate, fixed to the bottom plate by screws and connected to the lifting plate. The jacking winch provides kinetic energy for the cover. The bottom plate is located at the bottom of the entire cover base and is connected to 5 linear bearings by screws. The bottom plate is used as a reference surface for the entire tooling.

[0038] Place the semi-finished battery cells filled with liquid into the liquid injection tray. The liquid injection tray is positioned on the base by inserting the positioning pins into the positioning holes of the base. Place the steel shell into the steel shell feeding component (with the opening of the steel shell facing downwards), and slide the clamping plate to prevent the steel buckle from falling. The steel shell feeding component is positioned on the liquid injection tray by inserting the positioning pins into the positioning holes of the liquid injection tray. Close the toggle clamp, slide the clamping plate in the opposite direction, and lift the battery cell upwards by turning the hand crank to complete the lid closing.

[0039] Further, in order to improve the efficiency of lid closing, as well as the accuracy and reliability of lid closing, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , the button cell lid closing device further includes a pressing elbow 400.
