The lead screw adjustment assembly 1 includes two sets of lead screw modules 3 and two sets of adjustment square tubes 4. The two ends of the two sets of adjustment square tubes 4 are respectively connected to the movable ends of the two sets of lead screw modules 3. The layer plate assembly 2 includes a layer plate 21 and a PCB adjustment module 22. The layer plate 21 is disposed on one side of the adjustment square tube 4 through a guide shaft 23. The PCB adjustment module 22 includes a height adjustment block 221, a thickness adjustment block 222, a PCB board 223, and a side push module 224. The height adjustment block 221 and the thickness adjustment block 222 cooperate with the upper layer adjustment square tube 4 and the lower layer adjustment square tube 4, respectively. The height adjustment block 221 and the thickness adjustment block 222 drive the PCB board 223 and the side push module 224, respectively, so that the PCB board 223 moves in the height direction and the thickness direction. Therefore, by adjusting the length of the adjusting square tube, the distance between the two sets of lead screw modules 3 can be shortened, thereby enabling simultaneous adjustment of multiple sets of layer board assemblies. When the lead screw of the lead screw module 3 rotates, the movable end can drive the adjusting square tube 4 to move up and down, thereby driving the adjusting square tube 4 to adjust the position of the PCB on the PCB adjusting module 22, realizing the adjustment of both the vertical position and thickness of the PCB board 223, and cooperating the PCB board 223 with the soft-pack battery to achieve precise positioning.
