During the operation of the lifting driver 310, the screw motor 311 drives the driving platform 312 to move forward and backward. During the movement of the driving platform 312 forward and backward, the fixed vertebra 317 moves along each step 315 and each slope 316, thereby changing the height of the driving column 313 to change the height of the receiving plate 320. In this way, the working stability of the lifting mechanism 300 is increased, thereby increasing the working stability of the battery automatic press-in assembly device 10.
