The second conveying member 403 includes a plurality of second conveying segments, which are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the second conveying member 403, and the conveying direction of each second conveying segment is consistent with the conveying direction of the second conveying member 403. In this way, the first conveying member 402 and the second conveying member 403 are arranged in sections, and different conveying segments can be respectively arranged on different processing equipment.

[0101] Please continue reading Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 For example, the first conveying member 402 includes two first conveying sections, which are respectively a first conveying section A4021 and a first conveying section B4022, and the second conveying member 403 includes two second conveying sections, which are respectively a second conveying section A4031 and a second conveying section B4032.

[0102] The first conveying section A4021, the second conveying section A4031 and the second transfer member 404 can be arranged on the third processing platform 301 of the third processing device 300, and the first conveying section B4022, the second conveying section B4032 and the first transfer member 401 can be arranged on the fourth processing platform 501 of the fourth processing device 500.

[0103] In some embodiments, the conveying device 400 provided in the present application also includes multiple positioning components and multiple processing positions, and the multiple positioning components and the multiple processing positions correspond one to one. The positioning components are used to clamp the first material tray 411 at the processing position, and the third transfer member 304 can transfer the semi-finished product 00 assembled with the outer shell 01 on the second material tray 303 and the battery cell assembly 02 during the transfer process to the first material tray 411 on at least one processing position of the first conveying member 402.

[0104] The press-fitting assembly 305 is connected to the conveying device 400 and is disposed at at least one processing position, and can press-fit the semi-finished product 00 at at least one processing position. The testing assembly 502 is connected to the conveying device 400 and is disposed at at least one processing position, and can perform a performance test on the semi-finished product 00 at at least one processing position.

[0105] See also Fig.11 In some embodiments, the first transfer member 401, the second transfer member 404, the first conveying member 402, and the second conveying member 403 are all conveying mechanisms having two parallel conveying belts. The positioning assembly can pass through the gap between the two parallel conveying belts to clamp the first material tray 411 in the vertical direction, which can save space in the horizontal direction.

[0106] In other embodiments, the positioning assembly can clamp the first material tray 411 in the horizontal direction, so that it does not need to pass through the first conveying member 402, thereby reducing restrictions on the first conveying member 402.

[0107] Please also read Fig.12 and Fig.13 In some embodiments, the positioning assembly is installed on at least one of the first conveying member 402 and the second conveying member 403. Exemplarily, the positioning assembly is installed on the first conveying member 402.

[0108] The positioning assembly includes a first positioning member 412 and a second positioning member 413. The first positioning member 412 is fixedly connected to the first conveying member 402. The second positioning member 413 is spaced apart from the first positioning member 412 and can move in a direction close to or away from the first positioning member 412. When the second positioning member 413 moves in a direction close to the first positioning member 412, the positioning assembly clamps the first material tray 411. When the second positioning member 413 moves in a direction away from the first positioning member 412, the positioning assembly releases the first material tray 411. The moving direction of the second positioning member 413 (e.g. Fig.12 The Z direction in the figure) is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying member 402.

[0109] In this way, the positioning component can position the first material tray 411 so that the first positioning component is stable at its position, making it easy to take the semi-finished product 00 on the first material tray 411 and to process the semi-finished product 00 on the first material tray 411 .

The controller can obtain the position signal sent by the detector 414 and control the action of the first driving member according to the position signal. Among them, the detector 414 can be a photoelectric sensor or a contact switch.

[0111] In this way, the positioning assembly can accurately clamp the first material tray 411 at the processing position.

[0112] Please continue reading Fig.11 In some embodiments, for example, at least one of the first conveying member 402 and the second conveying member 403 is provided with a conveying surface, and the first positioning member 412 is located in the normal direction of the conveying surface (eg Fig.12 The second positioning member 413 is located on one side of the transport surface in the Z direction, and the second positioning member 413 is located on the other side in the normal direction of the transport surface.

[0113] In this way, the first positioning member 412 can move in the normal direction of the transport surface, and the first positioning member 412 and the second positioning member 413 clamp the first material tray 411 in the normal direction of the transport surface. The first material tray 411 will only deviate from the transport surface in the normal direction of the transport surface, and will not deviate from the transport surface in the direction perpendicular to the normal direction of the transport surface and the conveying direction of the first material tray 411.

[0115] The third transfer member 304 can transfer the shell 01 on the second material tray 303 to the first rotating member 409 , and then the first rotating member 409 transfers the semi-finished product 00 assembled by the fifth operator 1005 to the first material tray 411 of the first conveying member 402 .

[0116] In addition, the conveying device 400 provided in the present application further includes an elevated frame 4091, and the first rotating member 409 is disposed on the elevated frame 4091, so as to reach a preset height, facilitating the third transfer member 304 to transfer the shell 01 on the second material tray 303 to the first rotating member 409. Furthermore, the first rotating member 409 can be driven by a rotating cylinder or a motor disposed on the elevated frame 4091.

[0117] Please also read Fig.12 , Fig.13 and 14 In some embodiments, the conveying device 400 further includes a third conveying member 410, which can move between the fifth position and the sixth position, and the third conveying member 410 can place the shell 01 or the semi-finished product 00 of the atomizing device.

[0118] Among them, the third transfer member 304 first transfers the shell 01 from the second material tray 303 to the first rotating member 409. After the first rotating member 409 rotates the shell 01, the third transfer member 304 transfers the shell 01 from the first rotating member 409 to the third conveying member 410. Then the third conveying member 410 moves the shell 01 from the fifth position to the sixth position. The fifth operator 1005 assembles the shell 01 and the battery cell assembly 02 into a semi-finished product 00 at the sixth position. After the fifth operator 1005 assembles the shell 01 and the battery cell assembly 02 into a semi-finished product 00 at the sixth position, the third conveying member 410 returns the semi-finished product 00 from the sixth position to the fifth position. The third transfer member 304 then transfers the semi-finished product 00 from the third conveying member 410 to the first material tray 411 of the first conveying member 402.

[0119] In this way, the conveying device 400 can be automatically transported at multiple locations without manual operation, thereby improving processing efficiency.

The first guide member 3051 and the second guide member 3052 can move toward each other along the first direction so that the first guide member 3051 and the second guide member 3052 are in contact with each other; the first guide member 3051 and the second guide member 3052 can also move in the opposite direction along the first direction so that the first guide member 3051 and the second guide member 3052 are separated from each other.

[0121] When the first guide member 3051 and the second guide member 3052 are in contact, the first recessed portion and the second recessed portion define a press-fitting channel 3053, one end of the semi-finished product 00 is located in the press-fitting channel 3053, and the press-fitting member 3054 can extend into the press-fitting channel 3053 to press-fit the semi-finished product 00. The length direction of the press-fitting channel 3053 is perpendicular to the first direction and the conveying direction of the first conveying member 402, and the first direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying member 402.
